The Day He Matured

More than a week has passed since Brian left. I still go to the company and urge the workers to work.

I looked at the calendar and realized that payday was coming up. The company’s salary fund is only enough to pay this month’s salary. Next month, if there are no investors, I really don’t know how to manage.

Sitting alone in the office, my eyes couldn’t focus on the numbers.

Brian only sent me a text message when he just arrived in America, telling me that he was very busy in the near future and might not be able to call or text me, and then he completely disappeared.

I don’t believe he’s so busy that he doesn’t have time for me. His phone seemed to have been turned off, or he had changed his SIM card, so I couldn’t contact him.

As for Harold, since Brian left, I have not been able to contact him.

Zalo is turned off, and Facebook is also turned off. I sent an email, but no one responded. I don’t know how many more days I can try to be strong.

I am very tired. My heart is hurt. My intestines were hot, like there was a fire inside.

“Brian, you abandoned me, right?”

Even though I wondered that, I still consoled myself that perhaps he had some problem with his work. I just wish him peace.

However, just a few minutes later, my faith was completely shattered when the red headline from the newly published article appeared on the computer screen.

The president of Hana Group has decided to divide assets and leave the business market.

And the heirs to that billion-dollar corporation are none other than Harold and Brian.

According to the content of the article, he divided the total assets of Hana Group equally between his two nephews.

That means Brian lied to me. He didn’t go to see his friends but went home. Maybe he’s let go of my hand already. He agreed to do as his grandfather said to return to that peak of glory. He will marry Hellen, right?

Brian, is your love for me just like that?

I left the company and wandered along the sidewalk because I was so sad and desperate. It’s all like a dream.

So cold. This afternoon’s wind is so cold. I couldn’t even cry, something was blocking my tear ducts, blocking my throat, and blocking my blood vessels.

That’s right, Brian can’t stand hardship. As soon as he was born, he was wrapped in a velvet towel.

The starlight named Brian has left me. The rosy future I once dreamed of has vanished like a cloud.

For several days in a row, I was heartbroken, stayed at home, and did not go to the company. I knew I left my phone at the office, but I still didn’t go pick it up and ignored it.

I want to be separate from the outside world. I want to wrap myself in a blanket to heal my poor heart.

When the darkness covered all sides, I tried to crawl out of the house, buy a bottle of wine and drink it. I want to get drunk and cry. If I can cry, I’ll be okay.

The moon tonight is gradually getting bigger, yes, the light is also brighter.

I want to climb up there, meet the man in the moon, lean against him, look down at the world, and smile.

My mouth was muttering a poem about a moonlit night.

I had just finished drinking half a bottle of wine when I saw Brian’s car stop in front of the gate, and then he called me to open the gate.

Oh, he’s back here already. This wine was so good, it gave me the illusion that I was seeing the real Brian.

However, the realistic images and sounds told me that it was Brian.

But I won’t open the gate. I’m afraid Brian will say goodbye and then drag his suitcase away. If I let him stand out there, he’ll stand there forever, right?

I picked up the bottle of wine, continued to close my eyes, and drank.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

While drinking, I felt my wrist being grabbed tightly. My fingers were removed by Brian and the bottle of wine was quickly stolen by a creature named Brian.

Why did I forget that he also kept a key?

“Bella, I called you, but you didn’t answer the phone. It turns out that you neglected the company and stayed home to drink. Since when did you become addicted to alcohol?”

“If you have already returned, please pack your things quickly. If I knew you would be home early, I would have packed your things for you.” I raised my face and tried to smile to stop the flow of tears.

“Packing up my things? Are you chasing me away?” He looked at me as if I were a strange creature.

“So if I ask you to stay, will you stay?” My voice choked.

“Of course. You are my roof.”

I didn’t hear wrong. Brian said I am the roof of his house. Will he stay with me?

Could it be that after taking half of that huge property, he ran away?

“I got it. You’re thinking nonsense again. You don’t trust me. How irritating. Maybe I have to swallow you into my stomach.”

Brian roared, causing my soul to fly to cloud nine, roam around for a while, and then come back.

I swallowed my saliva, stepped back in fear, and stared at his dark, grimacing face.

Quick as lightning, he put down the bottle of wine and grabbed my hand.

Oh no, he won’t swallow me into his stomach, right? Human flesh is not food. He can’t eat me.

Moreover, the ratio is now more male than female, so I am like an animal in the red book that needs to be preserved.

“What… what are you doing? Don’t… don’t…”

“Sit still.”

Brian shouted loudly, making me cry. But, what is he doing? What is he taking out of his pocket? Knife? Or is it a small gun?

Under the light from the high-voltage lamppost mixed with the late moonlight, I realized it was a velvet ring box.

He quickly put the ring on my finger. It’s a diamond ring but not a ten carat diamond. It’s quite small. A tiny diamond.

“Tomorrow we will register our marriage. After that, I will publicize this relationship on my official personal page.”

“Register marriage? But… you have returned to Hana Group, right?” I stammered.

“Right. So what?”

“Didn’t you agree to marry Hellen so that your grandfather could divide the property for you?”

Brian tapped my forehead and picked me up. Before I could understand what he wanted to do, he took me straight into the room and threw me on the bed.

Could it be that I guessed correctly? Brian betrayed his grandfather, grabbed that fortune, and ran back to me.

“I remember when I was about to leave, someone agreed to pay me ten times more.”

He said as he quickly unbuttoned his shirt. The shirt quickly fell to the floor.

No, I won’t pay him anything if I don’t understand what’s going on. What if he eats me clean, leaving only a dry skeleton, and then marries Hellen? We don’t have a marriage certificate yet. We don’t have anything binding each other yet.

The sound of an expensive belt falling startled me and I realized that the man in front of me was in the form of a primitive man.

Why did he strip but still not turn off the light? I’m still not used to this. He and I always make love in the dark.

It seemed he also realized what I meant, so he quickly walked away and turned off the light.

“Ah… ah… wait, wait…” I frantically dodged when Brian grabbed me, kissing me all over my face and neck.

“What’s up? Are you rejecting me? You dare to break your promise, right?” He asked while panting. His movements had stopped, but his face was still buried in the crook of my neck.

“I’m so confused. Can you tell me the whole story?”

“You’re drunk, I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

After saying that, Brian quickly bit my collarbone. It wasn’t very painful, but the stimulation he brought made me scream uncontrollably.

He hugged me tightly, kissing all over my neck, gradually reaching my lips.

To be honest, I really miss him, miss this kiss, his strong arms, and the loving whispers he still pours into my ear every night.

His hands caressed all over my body and then quickly took off the thin silk dress, merging his body with mine.

Brian’s movements became faster and faster, more and more intense, making me feel like I was a boat floating in the middle of the sea. I could only cling tightly to the man’s hot, sweaty back.

This guy really doesn’t know how to love flowers or pearls. I remember I didn’t promise to compensate tenfold. That’s what he said.

Now he possessed my body over and over again, making me climax over and over again.

“Enough… enough, Brian.” I cried and quickly crawled to the corner of the bed right when he tried to change position.

“Not enough. I still haven’t punished you for daring to doubt my fidelity. You see your future husband standing in front of the gate but you still tilt your head back to drink wine, look at the moon, enjoy the wind, and don’t come out to greet me. And you even want to kick me out.” He squinted his eyes, looked at me, and spoke while panting.

“Please forgive me. I knew I was wrong. Because I couldn’t contact you. Because I saw information that you received half of the assets.” I replied, while crying.

Brian stopped forcing me, leisurely lying down on the pillow and spreading his arms.

I understood what he meant, so I crawled back, swooped into his arms, and snuggled my head into his solid chest. The sweat on his body was now cold, no longer hot.

“Sleep well, tomorrow I will tell you everything and then we will go to the People’s Committee to register our marriage.”

“Yes.”
