They merely needed to remain concealed for the time being. Before she could devise a plan, she was scheduled to depart with Stella for Ottawa in merely one month. She and Logan might depart earlier, allowing Stella to follow subsequently. That may be effective.
Sighed handed Logan the TV remote, instructing him to find something to watch while he went to call Stella. He observed Logan nod in response.
She traversed the house to Stella’s bedroom, closed the door, and then sat on the bed to dial her number. The unfortunate woman was poised to be caught in the middle upon her return and required advance notice regarding the current circumstances.
“Hello Brianna, what is troubling you?”“She enquired immediately.”
Brianna sighed, “I have a problem, Stella,” she replied candidly. I was summoned by a prominent CEO named Nathan Avery while I was with Logan to design a dress for his daughter; now he has arrived at the store and is insisting that I accompany him back to Canada’.
“Decline.”
“I complied; he threatened to abduct Logan and compel me.” We have arrived at your location. !She managed to secure Logan and run with him. She sighed, uncertain about the duration of safety in this location.
“That is acceptable; remain for as long as you wish.” What is the status of Wood Industries? Are those men still present?“
“I am uncertain, to be candid.” “I have not observed them,” she reflected, recalling Nathan’s assertion that another Alpha was monitoring her. “I do not believe they have departed.” She then noted a growl, unmistakably a wolf, emanating from Finley’s location.
“Do you require my return?””
No, Stella, I merely wished to inform you of what to anticipate upon your return.
“You have become quite popular, Brianna.” Who is Nathan Avery? I comprehend Mr. Wood’s abrupt fixation. He may have observed Logan. Those eyes are indelible. He would identify his own son. I envision, based on his gaze. What is the situation regarding the new individual?”
She was correct. If Ryder had encountered Logan or any member of his unit, they would probably have sought to approach the child closely. It is possible that the growl originated from Finley’s Ryder or one of his unit; upon reflection, it occurred at the moment Nathan referred to him as son. She clenched her lip between her teeth. She was unaware.
“I am uncertain regarding Nathan Avery, but he refers to me as Brianna Dieng, Stella.” He stated that he is acquainted with other members of my family, not Brianna Layla.
“Which family.” “I believed you seemed fully matured here in Colorado,” she playfully remarked, attempting to alleviate the atmosphere.
“I am uncertain; my parents passed away when I was ten.” “I am completely unaware,” and she was indeed. Indeed, his wolf possessed white eyes akin to those of Layla and Rowan; however, this may merely be coincidental.
I researched Wood Industries during my flight here. Mr. Wood Ryder is an affluent bachelor.
“He is not a bachelor; he is soon to be married.”
Brianna sighed, “That is the reason the girl entered; she is his fiancée.”
“Is that impossible?” He is approximately 36 years old, according to his biography, while that girl cannot be older than 18 or 19.
Brianna murmured, “It is what it is; that is why he insists I create the dress she desires.” She desires for her to possess all that her heart yearns for; the thought caused her heart to ache involuntarily. The girl was receiving everything while Brianna received nothing. It continued to cause pain, and she surmised it would likely perpetually inflict discomfort.
“I apologise, Brianna,” she discerned the empathy in Stella’s voice.
“I was insignificant to him, Stella,” she articulated, the anguish evident in her tone. “I was never, nor shall I ever be,” she sighed, yearning to move on and forget him. However, it appeared impossible to accomplish. She had believed they had progressed until that girl entered her life. He escorted her to her studio and positioned himself beside her, insisting that she obtain everything she desired.
“Brianna, are you genuinely well?””
“No,” she replied candidly, “but he will depart and concede; it is merely a dress.” The girl is capable of having something else created. “Alternatively, purchase from my collection; I am indifferent to the choice.” She was resolute in her desire to remove that man and his companion from her life permanently.
Ryder’s Perspective
His gaze fixed on Brianna’s vehicle as it arrived. Luca informed him that she possessed a Red Nissan Rogue. Both he and Luca positioned themselves behind their rental vehicle, thereby becoming obscured from view. They wished to remain unnoticed by her; his gaze was directed at the man within the vehicle, but the sunlight reflecting off the windscreen obscured his view.
Upon exiting her SUV, she appeared displeased. The man exited the vehicle as well. Ryder utilised his acute hearing to discern her words: “Stay here, I don’t need Logan panicking.” He observed the sizable man leaning against her car, watching her, then shifted his focus to Brianna, overhearing her dialogue with the woman at the door. Not her romantic partner. Experienced genuine relief from that.
“He is a wolf,” Luca communicated through the mind-link.
