Meanwhile, Brina's eyes flashed with menace. How dare that family get her engaged to someone, just because they will get profited by it?

And, how the hell did Chris find out about her maternal family? No one knows who her maternal family is….

Tanya??

Except Tanya, no one knows who her maternal family are. It is because Brina never mentioned anything about her family to anyone.

Not even her records have the information.

Brina clenched her fist under the table as she controlled the anger surging through her body.

Nadia looked at Brina one more time and walked away.

Her father told her not to cross the paths with Brina. And, even if she does, he asked not to make fun of her.

After they get her married to Chris they will get whatever they needed. Chris promised them!!

So, for once Nadia let Brina go. Or at least she though she had upper hand to do everything she wants. She doesn't know that she is happily living just because Brina took mercy on her.

After Nadia and her friends walked away, Luke and Hailey looked at Brina in shock.

"You are Chris Hillary's fiancée??" Hailey asked in shock.

"That arrogant lady is your cousin?? She looks so rich and prideful" Luke commented. He Just acted as if he didn't hear that Brina is 'engaged' to Chris.

"Brina, you don't like that cousin of yours, do you?" Hailey asked.

"And, you aren't aware of the engagement she talked about" Luke noticed.

Brina sighed. "Guys, let's leave this here itself. I don't want to bring this matter again, please" she said.

"And, yes. I don't like my cousin. I don't like my maternal family itself."

"I don't know about this engagement as well. One of the reason why I shifted companies is because of Chris himself. Few days back he proposed me but I rejected." Brina explained.

"So, he took another approach to get me" Brina told.

"But, why aren't you interested in him?" Hailey asked. "He is handsome, he is rich" she reasoned.

"I don't have feelings for him. I have boyfriend towards whom I am developing feelings in very alarming rate" Brina told and smile curved on her lips.

Hailey and Luke nodded their heads in understanding. Hailey wrapped her arm around Brina's shoulder comfortingly.

Luke squeezed here hand. "Just don't listen to them. Anyway, you don't like that family and they never treated you fairly" he told.

Brina nodded her head. "I have my ways" she chuckled.

"Let's forget about this guys. I don't want this to ruin our fun time." Brina said, smiling at her friends.

"Brina" Luke called.

"Let's go. I know that she ruined your mood Brina. We can come later as well" Hailey comforted Brina. "We don't want our friend sad"

Brina sighed but nodded her head. "I am sorry, guys" she apologized, pursuing her lips.

"Don't be. We are the understanding friends no one can succeed in getting. Just give us a ice-cream treat and you are forgiven" Luke joked.

Brina laughed. "All right, Mr. Narcissist. Consider it done" she said.

"Good girl" he chuckled and they stood up, ready to go back.

"Guys, wait for me. I will just pass a word to my dearest maternal family through my favorite cousin and come" Brina said giving a mischievous smile.

"Go on, girl" Hailey chuckled.

…..

Brina reached the private booth in which Nadia is giving party to her friends.

And as soon as Nadia saw her cousin coming inside, she looked at Brina arrogantly.

"Want me to your bill or what?" she asked reluctantly.

"Nah. I am not like you to rely on others. Nadia, can you just inform uncle that I will be coming for lunch tomorrow?" Brina said, without beating around bushes.

"Why?" Nadia asked.

"Shouldn't we talk about my engagement preparations? Wait, don't tell me that you will not celebrate my engagement" Brina mocked.

"You!!" Nadia scoffed, fuming in anger.

"I will meet you tomorrow, Nadia. Till then have a peaceful time" Brina said and walked away.

…..

"Chris went to Russell family and asked Brina's hand" Charlotte told in the call with Louis.

"Yeah, my men informed me" Louis answered.

"You know!! Still you are acting all calm!!" Charlotte scoffed.

"Louis, you have to do something. Poor Brina" Charlotte emotionally said.

"No, we are not going to do anything Char. Brina will take care of it for sure. Let her have some fun as well" Louis told.

"But-" Charlotte was about to tell something when he heard his bell ringing.

"It must be Brina. I will talk to you later Char. Don't forget to take your medicines by the way" he reminded his best friend.

"Yep. Sure boss" Charlotte chuckled.

She isn't angry that Louis moved out of the house. Brina needs him most now!!

Louis quickly made his way downstairs and opened the door.

As soon as he did that, Brina froze. Her cheeks turning red.

And, it is only when Louis realized that he is shirtless and has only his gym pants on. His upper body is filled with sweat due to his workouts and his hair is disheveled.

He is looking more intoxication and sexy that, Brina's brain right away started imagining dirty things.

Louis chuckled and gave himself an imaginary pat. He could see how much she is affected.

"Whassup Brina? You came so early" Louis asked. As he wanted to give her privacy with her friends he didn't ask his men to follow her.

So, he don't know that she met Nadia.

"Did something happened, baby" he asked when she hugged him.

"Nothing happened. Something came up" Brina said.

Luke led her into his house and made her sit on the couch.

He gave her water and sat beside her. He want to ask her what happened but he is also hoping that she will open up to him.

Till then he don't want to force her into telling him.

"So, what are you thinking of doing?" he asked.

He intentionally didn't ask her what happened and Brina understood him.

She smiled.

Brina felt moved to her core.

"Won't you ask what happened?" Brina asked.

Louis chuckled. "I said I won't force you" he said.

Brina giggled. "Its my maternal family. Chris went to them and asked my hand." She said.

Louis raised his eyebrow. "But why do you look happy" he asked pouting.

Brina chuckled.

"You are looking so jealous" she teased.

"And, you look so cute when you are jealous" she added pinching his cheeks.

"I think you have a plan to handle Chris and your family." Louis guessed.

"Yep" Brina nodded her head.
