Briar’s POV

“How did it go?” Rissa met me in front of the elevator.

I stared down at the papers in her hand. “Where are you taking that to?”

She looked down at it and shrugged. “Something is wrong with the printer.”

“Have you reached out to the maintenance department?”

“You know that would be the first thing I would do.”

“So why are you still heading out to print?”

Rissa huffed, rolling her eyes. “Why not just answer my question instead of probing me?”

I bit down on my tongue, sighing. “

    Briar’s POV“How did it go?” Rissa met me in front of the elevator. I stared down at the papers in her hand. “Where are you taking that to?” She looked down at it and shrugged. “Something is wrong with the printer.” “Have you reached out to the maintenance department?” “You know that would be the first thing I would do.” “So why are you still heading out to print?” Rissa huffed, rolling her eyes. “Why not just answer my question instead of probing me?” I bit down on my tongue, sighing. “It didn't go as I wanted.” “I warned you not to get carried away by Liam’s words. You see what it has done to you now?” “And what did it do to her?” Liam walked towards us, flaring his nose. “Do you expect her to have stayed back without fighting for what is right?” Rissa’s lips parted like she was about to say something, then thought against it. “Go get something chilled to drink, Briar. I will be back.” She sniffed, getting into the elevator. Liam mumbled something under his breath. “What

    Briar’s POVI exhaled in exhaustion at the sight of the court building. This is getting really tiring. I resumed work this week and the first outing outside of work just had to be this. Taking a deep breath, I made my way in. Janet was waiting by the door of the meeting room. “What’s wrong? Why do you look troubled?” I asked, noticing the strained look on her face. Janet tapped her feet for a few seconds before exhaling slowly. “I need you to hear me out, Briar. Today’s meeting might not go as desired and believe me when I say that I have done my due diligence but it still might not be enough today.” I began to panic but tried to stay calm. “What do you mean?” “We really don’t have a case, Briar. I keep looking for all the loopholes to keep him cornered but there are none.” “Didn't I tell you what he did?” “Yes. But it is based on an emotional decision not a logical stance. The law doesn’t work on sentiment. And the last time we met, you already gave the other party an upper han

    Author’s POV“Girl, sit your ass down for goodness sake!” Vivian whined, pulling at her cheek, exasperated. Isadora shook her head, her hands shaking as she ruffled her hair countless times. “Did you even listen to the voice recording? Did you hear what was being said? That bitch acted like she didn’t know she was coming here when all along it was her plan.” While in Adrian’s office earlier in the day, Isadora suspected he was hiding something huge and took the initiative to put her phone on recording with Eric in the office, knowing they would definitely talk. She had thought of many things that could happen. She never would have thought it would be about Briar’s child being Adrian’s. She almost pulled her hair out in shock. It was already troubling trying to figure out a way to get Briar far from Adrian. But with a child involved now, it would be a difficult task. “Take a bloody seat!” Vivian raised her voice, stomping towards the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle of water from the

    Adrian’s POVThe glass shattered against the wall spilling the whiskey in it. I am so livid I wouldn’t mind punching the wall repeatedly until I feel better. If only I could get my hands on that stupid Liam. Meddling in something that doesn’t concern him. I ruffled my hair repeatedly, pacing the room back and forth. Maybe coming to the office was a bad idea. I should have just gone on a long drive instead. But I didn’t want to be alone with my thoughts. A knock from the door brought me back to the present. That was when the mess I had made dawned on me. Shit! I went back to my table to dial Anita. I wanted to tell her to ask whoever it was behind that door to come back some other time. But the person pushed the door open without waiting for my order. “I didn’t ask you to come in,” I said before realizing it was Isadora. Her eyes darted around the room. “What happened here? Why do you look so disheveled? Are you alright?” She questioned, closing the space between us. I took a ste

    Briar’s POV“Is it okay for me to go in with her?” Liam asked my lawyer. Attorney Janet shook her head without looking up from her tablet. “No, you don’t. This is private business.” I took in a deep breath, smiling tightly. “It’s alright, Liam. I can handle this. Moreover, it is just a first meeting. The judge wouldn’t be presiding today. Right, Attorney?” She exhaled impatiently and bobbed her head. “Yes. We need to go in now.” “I will wait out here,” Liam mumbled. “Thank you.” I mouthed, following Janet. I could feel my palms getting sweaty from my nervous state. When the court order arrived at my door, I almost didn’t believe it. Even though Adrian and I had exchanged words because of it, I had hoped he would have the decency to back off. Requesting a DNA test when I had told him repeatedly that my child wasn’t his is quite devastating. I hate how much he still gets to me after all these years. It shows he never cared and still doesn’t. I let myself get fooled by that stupid

    Briar’s POV“Mummy, Uncle Adrian brought me gifts.” Knox pointed at the purchase bags Gina placed on the kitchen island. “Gina, when were you going to tell me that someone was in the house?” I raised my brow at her. She swallowed with difficulty. “I…” “I had insisted on being let in.” Adrian cut in. “I am not an offender. Is there a reason for you to be scared of my presence?” I blinked slowly, “What are you doing here?” “Gina can you please take Knox in?” Adrian requested. Knox looked up at him with a pout. “Are you going to leave without telling me again?” Adrian shook his head and ruffled his hair. “No, champ. I will definitely let you know when I am leaving.” “Okay. Thank you for the toys.” Knox waved at him as he followed Gina into his room. “He is a well-trained kid. You did a really good job, Briar.” Adrian commended. I didn’t let that get to me and folded my arms instead. “I still don’t know why you came here. What makes you think you can get my son gifts and come ar

    Briar’s POV“Congratulations, Mrs. Sterling, you are six weeks pregnant.” The doctor’s words played repeatedly in my head making my toes curl in excitement. A little burst of giggles kept escaping my lips at each reminder. I knew it was only a matter of time before all that I wanted came to me. No
