Alright. Thank you. Aunty Desrosiers. Adie picked up the glass of milk and emptied it in a few gulps.

Soon, he was sound asleep. Briar couldnt wake him up no matter how hard she tried.

Dont blame me, kiddo. Its all your mothers fault. You might be very adorable, and I really do like you, but youre Renees son, and I cant keep you around! Briar sat on the edge of the bed and silently looked at Adie. Amid her fierce, steely expression, however, was a tinge of sadness.

And that was when the doorbell rang..

Briar stood up and went to the door. Outside stood William, her biggest admirer.

I'm here for my reward! William barged in and pressed Briar against the wall. He began kissing her passionately.

Briar lifted her arms and let him do what he wanted without any expression on her face. She even seemed annoyed.

After a few kisses, William found it pointless and harshly let her go.

If you don't like me at all, why did you promise you would give yourself to me as a reward for completing the mission? William asked.

He pinched her cheeks with his long fingers. You're like a log. Theres no warmth and no response from you. Are you rewarding me or humiliating me? he asked through clenched jaws.

Briar sneered. What's the rush? I've always kept my promises. If I promised you something, I'd give it to you, but not now.

What's your excuse this time? William was losing his patience.

I've considered you my one and only love interest for many years. Ive never let myself forget that. Back when you were young and naive, I didn't even dare to kiss you. I only realized how much of a bitch you were after we broke up�"

Why could other men easily get their hands on you, but I couldn't? This is my only regret, and it's the only thing driving me mad. I even dream about you. Ive done so many things I swore I'd never do just to be with you. In fact, I even hurt a kind girl. Are you telling me that you want to change your mind now? The more he said, the more extreme he became. His grip also tightened. Don't force me. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing us both.

"Well go to hell together!

Briar wasn't afraid. She snickered. William, you're losing control. Look at your crazy self. Are you still the same gentleman who dreams of becoming a doctor?

Do you finally realize that I've lost control? It's all your fault. Is my love for you so cheap?! Why must you toy with my feelings?

Briars gaze became increasingly cold. She cut to the chase. You lost control over that bitch friend, Leia. You didn't expect to actually fall in love with her. You say you loved me and would do anything for me, but you so easily developed feelings for someone else. You've only known her for a few months� Men who claim to be devoted like you can never stay true to their words!

T-Thats not true! William was initially furious, but he now seemed frantic. His gaze darted around, lts impossible. I'm sure I was only acting. I was using her to gain access to Renee's secrets. I intentionally got close to her, and I even recorded a video of us sleeping together, just so I could blackmail her into hurting Renee� I did all of this to make you happy and to make you mine. I've already proven that I love you the most! William argued.

Well said and well done too. Unfortunately, you can fool others, but not me. Even if I really do give myself to you, you still wont be satisfied. Not only that, but you'll fall into despair. You'll be in pain because your'e afraid of losing Leia� Briar said while lifting her phone up. JrNovels.com
