"We can go now." Louis said and he kissed her lips once again before looking at Daniel who had an incredible expression etched on his face.

"Didn't you say that you had an important meeting?" Brina asked as she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Baby, I just attended it before lunch time. For now, I am free, okay?" Louis pouted.

Brina felt so cute that she pinched his cheeks. "Alright. We can go then." she said.

Meanwhile, Daniel is gaping at them.

Did he.. did he.. just see Louis kissing?!

And, are his eyes working fine?

Someone just pinched Louis's cheeks and didn't get fed to the sharks!!

Daniel is in so much shocked by this sudden tenderness in Louis.

'Okay, I get it. That is his girlfriend!! His sharks will be jealous' Daniel thought in back of his head.

"Dan?" Louis called Daniel, snapping his fingers in front of his eyes.

And, it is only when Daniel blinked his eyes, startled.

"Eh.. wh.. what??" he asked, slightly fazed by the shock he just received.

"If you don't have any work left with me, Brina and I will take our leave now. We have some personal work to hurry up with." Louis said, implying the immediate task of moving Brina's stuff to his penthouse.

"Yeah, yeah. You can both go now." Daniel said, yet to return to his normal self.

He needs an emergency nap to return back to his normal self now!!

Getting the answer, Louis shifted his eyes to Brina who was sitting beside him akin to the angel. He smiled warmly at her and stood up before extending his hand to her.

Brina smiled and placed her hand in his rough and big palm. She stood and looked back at Daniel.

"Don't forget to come for dinner, Daniel." She said to him.

"If you want to taste Louis's handmade food, don't miss this chance." she whispered.

Daniel's eyes twinkled and he nodded vigorously.

"I will not miss this chance, sister-in-law." he happily said.

Louis's food??

He never tasted it. To be frank no one has ever tasted his food except for his Brina, Louis's sister Eliina and Charlotte.

"But you aren't allowed to stay overnight, alright? You have to leave by nine." Louis commanded him on his face, making Daniel pout.

Brina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Louis's childishness. However, she loved how he was fierce with other people like Nadia but playful and childish in front of his friends and family.

Soon, Louis and Brina reached her house and he helped her with packing up her luggage.

"Louis honey, do you think Nadia will take our bait?" She asked as she stuffed her clothes into her luggage.

Louis who was packing up her files looked back at Brina and couldn't help but chuckle.

He left his work in the middle and wrapped his arms around her from behind, before planting a kiss on her nape.

Brina closed her eyes and snuggled against his body.

"You seem to be in a hurry?" Louis asked, his lips still skimming on the sensitive skin of her neck.

"Ermm, I actually don't really like all of this unwanted revenge, honey. I always opt to do it in a peace if it is possible. However, those people aren't allowing me to." Brina said as she let out a sigh.

"That's what I don't understand in you, baby. You are so good at being fierce and plotting the revenge. But everytime, I can see the reluctance in your eyes while you handle something related to this." Louis said, more like asking why she does that.

"You know, when I had my first fall out with my enemies, our rivalry wasn't that intense. However, the old Brina was very stubborn, persistive and unyielding that she was not willing to let it go. Despite her knowing the power her enemies hold." Brina told, her voice laced with guilt and sorrow.

"This what angered her enemies and they were very cunning that they started using despicable means to lure her into their trap. They bought the loyalty of her people and used it on her, which had led to her parents and family death." she continued, her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Louis felt so bad when he realised how she seperated her past self using the word 'her' instead of 'my'. It showed how much she hates herself.

She turned around and hugged Louis tightly, burying her face in his chest. Her tears started to wet his expensive shirt but Louis least not cared about it.

He couldn't do anything but hug her and comfort her as she let out her tears she was holding from God knows when and how long.

He didn't try to stop her because he felt it's essential for Brina to let this grief wash away from her heart. His heart started to ache for her but he felt helpless.

He simply couldn't contemplate how to console her when he actually doesn't know what happened.

"Everytime I think about it, I just think of how different it would have been if I wouldn't have gone for revenge blindly. Just for my selfish revenge, I gambled with the innocent lives of my family and I failed very miserably in protecting them." She sobbed.

"Now, Will is an orphan you know. He was so small when his parents died and what should I answer him after he wakes up? How can I show my face to my only nephew knowing that I am the reason why his parents and grandparents died." Brina's meek wailing made Louis tear up.

How is she even smiling like this, when she had been keeping this much of grief in her heart?

He didn't know whether to feel happy or not that she is gradually opening up to him or feel sad because her past is too painful.

"Baby, who said Will is an orphan? Doesn't he have you, me, Harry and other's? We will not let him feel that emptiness all right?" he consoled her.

Brina nodded her head but continued hugging him, her eyes swollen red and her cheeks stained with a traces of her tears.

Now, Louis understood why she is so meticulous while handling her maternal family. Though she knew that they aren't that powerful, the trauma had made her fear to take a revenge.

She is afraid that it will aggravate the matter more. That was the reason why she is limiting it this much.

They continued standing in the middle of the living room, hugging each other.

Brina felt her heart become light after sharing her sorrow with Louis but in contrast, Louis started to feeling more and more sad because of the hardships his beloved has been through.

He couldn't help but wish to time travel and stop everything from leading it to here. However, it's too good to be true!!

"I made you sad, didn't I? I ruined your mood." Brina talked after an eternity.
