EROSSo by giving him a challenge that he couldn't refuse, she assumed he could never succeed.She had found a way to kick him out without being the bad mother in other people's eyes.“Why are you being so stubborn?” Samantha asked.The fact that her husband had been willing to risk their marriage broke her heart. She suspected he finally had enough of her and her family.“If refusing to give up on you or our marriage makes me stubborn, then that's fine by me”, he retorted.Her heartbeat wildly when she understood the meaning of his words. He doesn't want a divorce, she realized happily.He only agreed to the vet because my mother forced him.Nonetheless, she knew his chances of gathering enough money on time would be a nearly impossible challenge.“Don't say things you can't back up”, she whispered.He shook his head.“Let's talk about you first.Are you really so short on money you need to borrow it from other people? Is Jeffery not paying you enough?” He asked.The company's senior execu

DEALTH WITH Suddenly cognizant of the witness, he glanced at Brian. “Don't you think it would be more appropriate if we had this discussion in private? This isn't exactly a public matter”, Tony said.Samantha wanted to disagree, but she couldn't think of a reason for him to be there.“It's fine. I'll go stand outside”, Brian reply.He just wanted Tony to cancel the contract as soon as possible.He stepped out, looking back to give Samantha a reassuring look before closing the door.A long pause lingered between Tony and Samantha until he walked to the door and locked it.“To make sure I don't get interrupted again”, he said with a smile that made her skin crawl.She ignored the way his eyes rimmed her body.“I have to get home to my family. Can you please get your copy of the contract so we can shred it?” She asks.“We work in the same company, but we rarely seem to see each other. Why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea first?” He offered.She shook her head. “I really have to ge

LOVE HIMHe didn't know the turmoil inside of her. “I'll carry you downstairs and we'll take a taxi back home”, he said.She complied, wrapping her arms and legs around him. Brian, She said, resting her head on his shoulder.“Yeah”.“Don't let go of me”, she said.Don't put me down”.He froze.He had spent the past three years under the firm impression that his wife was disgusted by him.His lack of response made her tense up.“You don't have to do this if you don't want to”, she said.“I want to”, he said firmly.He couldn't fathom a world where he wouldn't want to hold his wife.If it made her happy, he would carry her to the moon and back without complaining.Before heading home, Brian and Samantha went to a clinic so she could have her ankle check. Brian carried her the whole time, except when she had her own seat in the waiting room or needed to sit on the doctor's examination table.They didn't care about the strange looks they received from other people.The couple lightly chatted the

THE CHECK“He needs to stop wasting your time” the room was silent before Samantha let out a long sigh “ oh since it looks like nobody cares for my opinion anymore than Brian I'll be moving out tomorrow”She gestured toward Brian “you can take out the money now”.Thomas step forward wearing an excited expression. “Where would you move to, you should probably wait until you're married before moving in with Nick” he said looking at the check.They both realized with a shock that the amount was in full.“What is this?” she asked. “the money you asked for” Brian replied in a neutral tone.“ where did it come from?” she asked before Brian could answer her Thomas interrupted “who did you borrow from?, one of the stipulations of the bet was that you couldn't borrow the money”. Thomas said with his eyes fixed on the check he had never seen so much money before. Samantha stared at Brian expectedly“ l didn't borrow this money from anyone this is a bonus from work” Brian explained.Brenda

HOUSINGEach place he went seemed like a poor fit. Either the area was too crowded or the curb appeal wasn't right.He needed to find the perfect house and neighborhood just as he was about to walk out of the last real estate place the realtor said. “You know, beggars can't be choosers. If you want a nicer place, you need to be willing to spend more money. You need to look in nicer areas”. Brian paused. “That's it”, he thought. He hadn't been ambitious enough in his search for a house. He drove directly to the sales office of the area he had in mind and found that there weren't many people there. He listened to the salesperson, discussed the price and details of the homes available, and building.“These houses are the best in the area, but that is also made them the hardest to sell”, the salesperson explained.A salesperson patiently answered all of Brian's questions. She had noticed shabby clothes and doubted he would actually buy a house, but she figured it would be a good opport

SCORNFULShe pulled on his sleeve like a small child trying to get her mother to buy her a toy.As her loud voice filled the office, it caught the attention of Brian, who noticed them for the first time since they arrived.Brian looked at them, his face impassive.He knew precisely why they were there. They were spending the money he had given Brenda the day before.It annoyed him that she had given away the money so quickly, especially to someone naive enough to blow it on a fast car.He forced a smile and walked over to them. “Hello Thomas”, he said, nodding at each of them.“Why are you here? “Emma, serve this man again, please”, said Hector to the young saleswoman who had been talking to Brian when Thomas had arrived.She was new and inexperienced and in his eyes, the most appropriate colleague to deal with the scruffy man trying to talk to his new clients.“No, it's OK”, said Thomas, waving his hand dismissively at Brian.“He's my Brother-in-law,” Hector was surprised. He wasn't the

PHENOMENAL“Please just tell me the price”, said Thomas. He was beginning to get scared.Hector told him the price.It was massively out of his budget, but he was too proud to admit it in front of both his girlfriend and a crowd of salespeople.“It's.No, not, not, not safe to live by a river”, he blustered.“I'd rather see one of the other ones you mention”.The girl glared at him.She knew he had nowhere near the amount Hector had mentioned, but she blushed Crimson with embarrassment at how she felt Thomas was handling the situation.Her dreams of having the grandest house in the development vanished almost as quickly as they had arrived.Hector smiled, quickly hiding his disappointment at losing such a huge Commission. “Don't worry, he said.I've got the keys to some lovely villas. Let's go see what you think.They're definitely wear a respectable man like yourself would want to live”.Thomas thought about it and relaxed, glad he was about to see a house he could afford.They needed to liv

LUCK“Go and do it. Order Brian.He had turned back to Hector and stared at him He knew there was no other way he would get respect from this man.The only thing he knew was money, and Brian would teach him a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.“Which villa did you have in mind?” Asked Emma.“The one designed by Mark Ludendorff”, said Brian, still looking at Hector.He wanted to be sure it was a villa in which Samantha would enjoy spending time.She liked privacy. Emma took the bank card and put it in the machine, convinced that the card would be declined. She thought about what alternative job she could find in the area once her manager found out about this and fired her.Hector would settle for nothing less, she decided. “I'd be very surprised that that transaction goes through”, said Hector, starting to enjoy himself.“It's been approved, said Emma quietly.Not believing the card reading machine.Hector looked at her sharply.”Funny joke”, he said.“Pack your bag, you'll be jobless in less

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
