REJECTED“How can I repay you? Name your price”.Brian searched her face, which was curiously devoid of expression as he sipped his wine.“This is a trap”, he thought.Whatever I ask for is either going to be too little or too much”.“You needn't repay me”, he said. “There's nothing that I currently need”.He said, as he dropped his empty wine glass back on the tray.“This glass of 1994 Bartolino is thanks enough.Besides, you saved yourself. Even if I hadn't warned you, you would have been fine”.The guests looked from Brandy to Brian, confused that he would decline a reward.Brian, however, was watching the subtle changes in Brandy's face as she processed his deliberate words.”I know that many customers here have had indecent thoughts about me”, Brandy thought.“I expected this man to be at least a little bit shy around me, but he's not”.When a beautiful woman offers a reward, most men would ask for a date or at least money. What kind of man turns down any reward?And then there's the w

BRUISED“I don't wanna hear it”.She started to pick up any object within reach and throw it toward Brian. The pillows on the bed, the books on the nightstand and even the alarm clock were all fair game.Brian knew he was in the wrong. He didn't even try to duck. He just let the objects hit him.The pillows did no damage, but he knew that the book spine and the metal alarm clock would leave bruises. Samantha's hand found the lamp. She hoisted it and hurled it across the room.It struck Brian and then hit the wall with the crash, bursting the light bulb and scattering pieces of glass across the floor.Brenda had never been a sound sleeper, and the sound of the lamp crashing against the wall woke her in the next bedroom.She jumped out of bed and hurried out of her room.She knocked on the door of Samantha and Brian's room.“Samantha, honey, what's going on in there?” She called. “Is Brian causing problems? Open the door”.She worried as she waited for a reply.“Ohh dear this could be ba

THE MEETING“Going to work is kind of boring”.“Why can't you take your work more seriously?” Samantha snapped angrily when she heard his words.She knew that the work of a security guard was usually pretty easy and came with less stress.They rarely had any safety problems.At most, the security team kept an eye on those coming and going from the building and helped to give directions.It was an easy job.But anything could happen, and he had to learn to take it seriously.She knew he didn't have much experience working in security, but Jeffery had offered the position to him so that he had a real job. It was Brian's chance to prove himself.“Are you keeping an eye on me?” He asks.He knew she wanted him to succeed, but he had to ensure that she trusted him so that she would leave him alone and he could get his real work done.She followed him down the stairs. “Even if you're a security guard, you still need to work hard”. She studied him, appraisingly.“Look, I have a meeting today.Com

BEATEN “Ohh, Mr. Seymour, Brian said as he came between them, smiling as he reached out his hand to the other man.Your reputation precedes you”. He stared at him in surprise, wondering where this man had come from. Brian took the other man's hand and shook it violently, and the fat on his body rippled like water. Gritting his teeth, he mumbled something indistinctly.Seeing Brian's interference, Samantha quickly hissed. Brian, stop it.She turned to Clyde to offer an apology, but Brian let go of the other man's hand before she could.As he did so, he pushed the other man away. Clyde stumbled back, tripped over a chair and landed on his rump. He watched a murmured, wincing as he rubbed at his backside. His glasses had fallen off, and he grew up around the floor to find them, even as he groaned in pain. “I'll deal with you when we get home”, Samantha said through gritted teeth, glaring daggers at her husband. Brian had offended Clyde Seymour the moment he entered the room and

GOOD LESSONHe shook his head. “They wouldn't know what to bring me but You do”.Just as she was about to retort, Clyde interrupted her.“Hey look, if it makes your guard feel better, I can wait”.He glanced at Brian and studied him, appraisingly. “It's not easy to be a security guard. They have to protect their bosses at all times. I understand he's just doing his job”.Clyde hoped his words would make her hurry up. He hated wasting time.If she made her guard feel better about things and willingly joined him in the room, he could do with her as he pleased. The guard would be outside and there would be nothing he could do for her.“Well, if you say so, Mr. Seymour”.Samantha stepped back and scooted around Brian, heading for the hallway. “I'll be right back," she said as she passed Brian, she murmured threateningly. “I'll deal with you when we get back home”.Then she disappeared down the hall.Clyde and Brian stared at each other in silence. “Why don't you have a seat while we wait?”

THE LETTERThe weight of the matter is that if the deal Samantha has made with him falls apart, she'll take it personally, Jeffery said, concerned.I don't know if she would recover from that. Brian knew that with Samantha's strong personality, she would only become braver the more they fought.But he didn't want Samantha to have to deal with the aftermath if Clyde did try anything. “She'll be OK”, Brian said.“She has me watching out for her”. “That wife of yours doesn't know how lucky she is”, Jeffery said, sighing wistfully.He felt bad for Brian. No matter what he did to shield Samantha from those who would harm her, she would never know it, much less know how to respond.In the following days, Brian busied himself with Sea Cloud Technology matters.On one hand, he had to let Nick believe that Sea Cloud was nibbling away at Saka tosh Tech.On the other hand, he had to turn Sea Cloud into his strategic weapon. The work kept him busy and stressed. He didn't know how Jordan and Liam h

BRANDY “But aren't you curious as to why she wants to meet?” Jeffery asked. “I mean, the photo alone is concerning.Plus, why was it sent to me?” Jeffery glanced across the room at the other two men, observing their conversation carefully.He turned back to Brian and added. “You don't have to let anything happen.Your faithful to your wife, but you need to settle the matter, especially about the photo”. “Do you want me to spy on Brandy for a while?” Jordan asked. “I really wouldn't mind”.He winked at Brian. Brian kicked out at Jordan playfully, as he said “get out of here”.Then the four of them laughed together.Later that night, after the city's lights appeared in the streets became lively, Brian reluctantly headed to the meeting with Brandy. Room 611 looks no different from any other rooms from the outside, but Brian had asked around and learned that it was a themed room. He stood at the door for several moments before knocking.When no one answered, he swiped the card and

UNKNOWNOriginally he had planned to surprise Samantha with it on her birthday, but now it seemed that he might have to fast-track that idea. After cleaning up the table, he decided it was time to visit their new home and see how the renovations were looking. San Juan Creek was like a shining sword, splitting the new city into two. The villa he had bought was situated on a fine plot of land pie above the riverbank, like a king of the surrounding sending houses.Although it was a fine house among many in the complex, it had been placed commandingly above the other homes to emphasize its noble status.The gardens around the property were finely manicured and grant.As Brian pulled into the driveway, he rolled down his window to observe the busy workers renovating the property and grounds. His. thoughts drifted into daydreams of the time he would present this exquisite home to Samantha.“Well”, he was deep in thought. He heard the sound of a car horn in the drive behind him.The sound w

JELOUSYRoss shoved him aside. “You want me to give you another chance? “If I keep providing protection for you and your store, how am I going to explain that to Mr. Maxwell when he finds out? it's best for you to just shut the whole store down at this point, otherwise, next time He comes here, he's going to be offended that you're still here, and then you don't want to offend Mr. Maxwell”. He said to the manager. “I'd laugh if anyone else said that. But if it's what Ross thinks is best that would only mean I'm done for it wasn't easy to get to this point. I thought with Ross providing protection, I could do whatever I wanted. I never thought I would offend someone that even Ross is afraid of”. Ross just looked down at him, “Let me give you one last piece of advice”. He said, “try to be a good person from now on if you know what is good for you”After leaving them all, Laura was in no mood to continue their day out, so she and Brian got in the car to head home.Laura was clearly p

THE MANAGERBrian tilted his head thoughtfully “Ross? he asked.“you're not talking about Ross Gilmore, are you? the same guy I had a little chat with yesterday” he thought.“I think I left quite an impression on him”.“ you know Ross Gilmore?” the manager asked. “You could say that” the manager was surprised but then he saw Laura’s panicked expression clearly showed she had also heard of Ross or at least she knew of his reputation.“that's right,” he said “My shop is under Ross Gilmore’s protection so if you two both get down on your knees and beg for mercy I’ll consider asking for less compensation, otherwise you'll have to beg Ross for mercy” “and at this point, the compensation is the secondary”. he thought. just look how pretty that girl is, Ross, is going to be very happy when he sees her”. many people in the crowd had also heard of Ross and his reputation as a local thug they were not surprised that someone as Petty and nasty as the owner of this store had someone as vici

CHAOS Brian smiled at her but did not comment.The shop manager returned in short order with a Gray scarf draped across his arms. “Go on, Brian, Laura said. “Try it on and see what you think”.She lifted her hand, but the manager turned and held the scarf out of reach. “What?” She asked. “ Aren't you going to let us see it before we buy it?” The manager replied. “You've already seen and handled the other one.Isn't that enough?Except for the color, the two scarves are identical. Come up to the register and I'll get you checked out”.He smiled arrogantly. “They Caused the most trouble”, he thought. “They really need to put their grubby hands all over a genuine branded cashmere scarf.The rich ladies who come in here just point at what they want, pay the bill and leave without any fuss”. Laura's eyes flashed with anger. “Is that how you do business?” She asked. “If you don't try on clothing.How will you know if you like it or not?Maybe we won't like the feel of it.But we won't know until

OUTBURST Laura looked up from her plate of eggs and watched her sister confused. She glanced at Brian, who shrug. “I don't know exactly what's bothering her, but I can guess” he thought. “But I don't wanna talk to Laura about the whole situation with Brandy.That's too much to get into this morning”. “Hey, sis.Did you forget that Brian and I were going out for a fun day today? You should come along.Change your clothes. I'm gonna leave right after breakfast”. “No thanks”, Samantha replied. “I have some important things I need to get done today|”. “Is there anything more?Important than.Quality family time”.Samantha stood up. “You've got Brian, you don't need me”. She left the kitchen.And they heard her bedroom door closed a few seconds later. Gary Wandered into the kitchen, still half asleep.He looked from Laura to Brian. “Where's Samantha?” He asked. “I thought I heard her voice”. “Well, she's not here”, Laura said. “She's having a hissy fit or something”. “Come on Brian, let's

STILL IN LOVE“I'm glad to hear it”, said Brian. “If you'll excuse me”.With that, he walked over to the backstage door. He was determined to see Brandy, and Ross had held him up long enough.He could hear the sound of television through her door, it sounded like a cartoon and you could hear her laughing loudly at it. He Knocked several times before she heard him. “Come in, She shouted once she finally heard his knocking. “Ohh, it's you. Hello”.She walked over and gave him a huge bear hug.She squeezed him so hard he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said eventually. “Are you trying to kill me?” It took him a moment or two to disentangle himself from her grip.“You never change, do you?” He said, his words full of affection.He always spoke to her with the affection of an older brother talking to his favorite sister. Annoyed, Brandy pounded him on the chest.Always hoped that Brandy would stay as innocent as a child, but that was never going to be the case.Uncle Sam had already to

BRIANAs he realized that Brian had seen right through him, anger began to take over.He had a powerful urge to kill him.The slower and more painful death, the better.However, that was something that would have to wait.Murdering Brandy Hall's friend in a busy bar wouldn't win him any popularity contests. It was a plan he would have to save for another day. “Don't be so quick to criticize me”, he said. “You may have gotten away with it this evening, but I will get my revenge on you soon”.“I wouldn't be so sure about that”, said Brian.“But I can be sure”, said Ross, a smile starting to appear on his face. “I have a Big Brother and plenty of friends to help me.Next time you might not find the bartender quite so helpful”.“You're going to hide behind your Big Brother?” Asked Brian. “Why is he someone special?”The door to the bar opened.A man walked in.Ross smiled. his Big Brother had just walked in and his timing couldn't have been better.The man saw Ross and walked over.Ross began to s

THROW HIM OUTRoss was surprised that the bartender knew him, but he certainly wasn't complaining.He knew they had backup when it came to making Brian's life even more miserable than he had hoped. “He's the scruffy man over there”, he said, pointing to Brian's back. “He's trying to go backstage to see Brandy, which surely is a serious offense.My advice is that you have him evicted immediately”. “Well, we could always ask Brandy what she thinks”, said the bartender. “After all, she's the star performer.It's only fair that she should decide if she wants a visitor”.Ross was not impressed it wasn't the answer he had wanted to hear. “However”, continued the bartender, winking at Ross. “If she doesn't want any company, young Rossier gets to decide what to do with the unwanted visitor”.Everyone in the room held their breath, listening very carefully. “What's the punishment?” Ross asked one.Ross smiled. He made a choking gesture to the crowd, much to their delight.A huge cheer went up, sig

CODY’S BAR“Don't worry, maybe Brian will come with me”, said Lynn.Samantha looked at her. “Since when have they had such a good relationship?” She thought.But she didn't bother to ask Laura directly.“What's happening tomorrow?” She asked instead.“I thought you were busy”, said Laura. “But seeing as you're asking, it's a social event organized by the college. I thought you might have wanted to come with me”.She sighed.“If you're busy, I'll ask Brian. he won't mind coming with me. he'll make sure I'm OK”.It's sorted Laura, Take Brian”. Being her brother-in-law, she could go out with him without arousing suspicion.Samantha looked at her suspiciously, not convinced that Brian could keep her sister safe.In her mind, it was almost funny.Much more importantly, she was sure they were keeping something from her.Pretending that nothing was worrying her, she decided to go too, despite the pressures of her job. “I think I'll come too”, she said. “It'll be good to have a break from work”.Sh

UNEXPECTED His friends started to laugh mercilessly.By that time, Samantha was in earshot.When she heard laughter, she relaxed, thinking they had already resolved their differences and made-up.Deciding not to get involved, she stayed out of sight around the corner and listen.Has she gone around the corner, she would have realized that she had gotten it drastically wrong. Brian and Ross were staring at each other. Neither had any intention of backing down.Ross threw his cigarette butts on the ground and stepped on it. “I've had enough of your nonsense. It's time I taught you a lesson.Lesson”. Brian repeated questioningly. “A student?,I don't need to be taught a lesson.I think you've got it the wrong way around”. With that, he stepped forward and landed a blow in Ross' stomach”.Ross doubled up, completely taken aback by the punch.As he struggled to catch his breath, he couldn't believe such an unassuming looking man could be so strong. Started to feel nauseated and his vision st
