Bryan's POVPatrick leans down and mutters. "She is coming back now."I nod and he opens the door of the car immediately to let me out. I have been sitting here for almost 10 minutes, waiting outside for Celine. Patrick mentioned that she is not inside her apartment but in her neighbor's apartment. Thinking of what to say, I step out of the car and walk quietly to the small gate. It has a passage linking the three apartments on a roll. Celine's apartment is the first.I decided to come here after giving it several thoughts and coming to the conclusion that I have absolutely nothing to lose. Celine will still have to do my bidding and I don't need to beg her for anything. Going back to work was a big mistake because I couldn't concentrate. Jason's thoughts filled my mind and the suggestions Camila brought up.I stand by the door with my hands in my pockets, when the door suddenly opens and a laughing Celine comes out. A man trudges behind her with a smi

Bryan's POVAmazement is an understatement of what I feel as I watch Celine and Jason play together. The bond between them is unexplainable and I have never seen Jason smiling this way or happy since he was brought here.The thought is making me ambivalent; I am glad and also angry because I am envious of the attention he is giving to Celine. Now I know how much she means to him. Now I know the reason why he keeps asking for his mother.I am like a stranger in his life. He has known Celine to be the only one who showered him love right from birth but I was nowhere to be found. I didn't know about his existence but if I had known, I would have showered him love too.She runs his finger through his hazel brown hair as he giggles. She hugs him again with a wide smile, asking him how he has been doing. He shakes his head sadly and turns to glance at me.Celine follows his gaze and I glare at her. She turns away sharply and continues to play with him. They talk f

Bryan's POVJason's cries perch my ears as soon as I come out of the bathroom to dress up for work. I shake my head. He must have woken up to discover that his mother is gone.I am thinking he is going to cry for a few minutes and stop or probably go back to sleep but I am wrong. He is still crying till I finish dressing and I take my briefcase out to go out to work. Surprisingly, I am not angry, even though I did not expect this. I feel his mother's presence will ease it all but it is now obvious that they are inseparable. Celine is the only person Jason trusts. She is the only person he shares a bond with and that bond can not be broken by anyone, including me.I shake my head and walk out of my bedroom, take the staircase downstairs to his room. I had gone through all the applicant's details yesterday and I saw their pictures too. I am not satisfied with any of them.The only person with the experience I am looking for is the lady that ha

Bryan's POVI hear a faint knock on the door, making me lift my head from the laptop and grant permission to the intruder.I have been working on my laptop for almost an hour, trying to meet up with a deadline. I intend to finish up before going home so I can prepare for tomorrow's business meeting with the businessman my father sent to me.Fixing my gaze back on the laptop, I continue with my review, scrolling the mouse to minimize as the person enters. I am thinking it is Stella. The voice that greets me makes me raise my head sharply and my gaze meets with Emily."Long time no see, Brandon", she flashes me a sexy smile, making me remember how she almost made me fall for that smile years ago. She is dressed in a straight black skirt and a long turtle neck white top. Her hair is packed in a big, high bun as usual and she looks elegant."How are you, Emily?" I ask her as she walks briskly towards the chair in front of me and sits in without waiting for permi

Bryan's POVThe car comes to a stop and the driver opens the door for me to come out. I step out, stifling a yawn in tiredness and frustration of a bad day. Eric is still not providing the real statement of account for me to know where the loss is coming from. I was tempted to call father and explain things to her before punishing Eric but I know father will take his side. Left to me, I wouldn't have employed him but my father was involved. I hate mixing business with pleasure. I hate having my extended family involved in what I do. I love being in control. Eric's father has his own company and I wonder why he is not working with his father instead.I have been trying so hard to control my anger. Eric deserves to be punished, I have a feeling he knows what he is doing. I grab my briefcase and walk to the door. I am pretty exhausted, all I want to do is to take a shower and go to bed. I will think of the best solution to this problem tomorro
