Bryan Brent(The U-Turn)
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]Complete
Change of Heart - Regretful Husband
I entered his office, fully aware that he would be angry. As I stepped inside, he shot me a dark look, clearly annoyed by my presence. He didn't throw me out right away, but stayed seated, a stack of papers in front of him. "Anthony, please. I've tried to reach out to you. If you could just hear me out. I regret everything, truly. You have no idea how sorry I am for my actions. I can change; just give me a chance to prove I'm not the bad person you think I am. Please," my voice sounded weak, but that's how I felt. Anthony remained still, not reacting at all, as if he hadn't heard me. "Leave," he ordered. "Please, just listen," I pleaded. "If you don't leave, someone will make you." He could be harsh and unkind. No matter how many times I sought his forgiveness, he wouldn't budge. Once, I even knelt down, a moment I wish I could forget. He walked away, leaving me there. That was when I realized how cruel he could be. He never physically harmed me, but I don't think he needed to. After the wedding and what he found out, he never touched me again.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewadultComplete
