Brianna’s POVEveryone rose from their seats after Rogue introduced himself. I saw how fear and shock flickered in their eyes. One of the boards offered a handshake with Rogue. He gladly accepted it but his face remained stoic. I caressed the back of my neck as his scent filled my nose. He smells so nice.“Glad to finally meet you, Mr. Ryder. I didn’t know I’d meet you here. This is really a pleasure. I’m glad I didn’t pull my shares out.”I saw Rogue’s jaws clenched. He stood straight after he pulled his hand back and roamed his eyes to look at every single person inside. “I hope we can work in peace.”I cleared my throat and pulled the swivel chair near me. “You may sit here, Mr. Ryder.”Rogue looked at me and nodded. His face remained serious as he sat on the chair I offered him.I took a deep breath and looked at Rogue. “Mr. Ryder, we were discussing the position of my grandfather. He stepped down as the President and CEO of our company and I want to take his position. I want to k

Rogue’s POVI was almost flying my car when another car appeared ahead of me. My instinct and reflexes were able to save me from hitting that car but my car hit a huge tree. I felt my head hit the dashboard making me feel dizzy. I coughed and unlocked my seatbelt. I fell on the cold road as I looked at the other car that rolled over the road.I swallowed hard and shook my head. Damn! Thank God the impact wasn’t that hard.I squinted my eyes as I saw someone coming out of the car coughing. I caressed my forehead and found out I’m bleeding.“Fck!” I cursed again and pulled myself up. I felt the owner of the other car coming my way. I looked at him. “Are you okay—”“What the fck, man? Did you know how important my car is? And I have an emergency!”My forehead creased as I looked at him. He paused too when he realized I was the one in front of him. I clenched my jaws. Cain Hamilton, standing in front of me. His forehead and nose were bleeding.“Cain Hamilton…”He smirked and wiped the blo

Brianna’s POVRogue pulled away from the kiss, gently pushing me away. He cupped my cheeks and caressed my skin. Worry was evident in his eyes as he looked at me intently.He swallowed hard. “Are you okay?”I gasped and shook my head. “I feel…hot.”He nodded and attempted to carry me. “Let’s go to the hospital—”I stopped him. When our eyes met, I shook my head. “They can’t help me.”“Bree…” His voice was hoarse and it seems like he’s having a hard time. He knew. He figured out what’s wrong.I licked my bottom lip and pushed myself up. I sat on the mattress, facing him. I cupped his cheeks and our eyes locked.“Kiss me…” I whispered painfully.He shook his head. “You were drugged…”“And I can’t stop myself. I feel so hot, Rogue. Hep me,” I begged.He sucked his breath violently and swallowed hard. He held my hands and shook his head again. “It was just the drug talking, Brianna.”“I know what I’m saying. I know it’s you, Rogue. I won’t ask you to do this if it’s not you…”“Oh, babe!”

Brianna’s POV“No, she will not answer any of your damn questions!” That’s Rogue’s voice.It’s been 10 minutes but Rogue hasn’t come back so I decided to follow them. I was already behind the door when I heard Rogue say that. Question? What question? Are they talking about me? And who is he talking to?“Sir, are you really Mr. Rogue Ryder? The President of RYD Estate? What is your relationship with Miss Quinn? Was it just a hookup? Or do you have a secret relationship?”“We heard you invested in The Quinn’s. Is that because you saw potential in their company or because Miss Quinn is your girlfriend?”“Mr. Ryder, there’s a rumor that you are the reason behind Miss Quinn’s divorce with her husband Mr. Cain Hamilton.”I cupped my mouth as I suddenly felt weak. What was that? Why are they asking those questions and who are they? Are they reporters? What are the people from the media doing here?“Are you saying my friend is a slut? My friend was betrayed by her ex-husband. She was cheated

Brianna’s POV“So, Cain has been paying the people who caught him with Amber together in public?” I asked Levi, smirking while I’m sitting on my swivel chair. I was discharged yesterday from the hospital and today is my last day to gather evidence about what happened to me so I can clear mine and Rogue’s name. That's what I've been worried about.I thought Cain and Amber were just smart enough that they haven't been caught by the public in spite of Amber’s popularity. It turns out they’ve been caught but Cain is using his money and power to keep their infidelity and immorality a secret.“Yes, Miss Bree. And I already traced the location of the cell phone number you asked me to trace. I sent some of our men to get that person.”I nodded and sighed. “Thanks, Levi. How about the video?”“It has been taken care of, Miss Bree. Someone took all the copies down. Although it has reached many people, I made sure it won’t reach your grandfather.”“Thank you again, Levi. I owe you big time.”“It
