Brina took a heavy and deep breath as she flipped onto her stomach and buried her face into a puffy pillow.

She closed her eyes and mediated between her anger and resolvement. After a few minutes of comforting her achy heart she composed herself.

Although her heart is demanding for the comfort from her beloved, Brina didn't want to disturb Louis.

It's already midnight and he would be sleeping, exhausted. Sometimes she regrets accepting Harry's offer to come here.

At first she thought it would be fun and refreshing but all she could feel now is longing and love sick.

She is literally counting days to see her beloved, hug him and bury her face into his warm chest. She is missing his intoxicating and manly scent.

Even his shirts which she borrowed him started losing his scent. It's too cruel that she has to wait till her marriage day to see him personally.

On the bright side, from tomorrow she will be very busy with her marriage preparations.

Trying out her wedding gown, jewelry and shopping for her honeymoon lingeries…

Most importantly, preparing her share of surprises for Louis…

And, the bachelor party which is actually a surprise party from her friends. She knows where they planned it but for their happiness, she is just pretending as if she is clueless.

Meanwhile, thinking of all this, a warm yet faint smile curved up her lips.

Her life is better now, isn't it??

Life has its own share of both bad and good days. Till now she suffered and fought with many emotional turmoil. Now, it looks as if her happy days are about to start.

"Brina, let bygones be bygones, Hon. They are worthless of your time and attention" Brina spoke to herself, referring to Nickolas and his fiancée Camilla.

And, at the same time, her phone started vibrating at the bedside table, grabbing all her attention.

She knew it's Louis.

He would have got worried.

Harry and others would have informed him where she is, however, as Rose was with her till now, he would have waited for Rose to go away so that his fiancée could call him after freshening up.

However, an hour passed by yet he didn't get her call.

"Hon" Brina greeted, her voice light and back to normal.

"Love, are you okay?" Louis asked, worried. Though he knows that Brina doesn't care about Nickolas, he is aware that Brina indeed cared about few of her cousins.

So, he figured it out that she is upset.

Brina might be a calculative and genius person who could sometimes abt ruthless and extremely reckless, she is internally very soft and sensitive when it comes to her friends and relatives.

Louis observed it many times. Her family and friends are her weakness.

That's why her enemies used them to sabotage her.

"Why would I not be okay?" Brina asked, pretending as if nothing out of common has happened.

Louis sighed.

"About your cousin and your ex" he answered.

"Honestly, I was a little upset back then. I didn't expect this from Camilla, but, I simply don't care anymore"

"Right from the day she got that idea to betray me, she is no longer my cousin nor my loved ones. Moreover, I am no longer their family so, it's none of my concern with whom she fuck or flirt." Brina bluntly said.

However, anger is evident in her voice.

But she isn't hurt or upset anymore. Compared to all the betrayals she faced, this is nothing.

"True. I just don't want you to be upset, baby. I can't sleep in peace or do my work when you are unhappy. It twists my heart whenever I think of it" Louis said.

Brina smiled.

Her heart brimmed with warmth as she smiled lovingly.

Having such a caring and loving person beside her, why the hell is she thinking of the past??

"You made sure I am okay, right? So, now go and sleep properly. I don't want my husband to have a tired face and dark circles during the wedding" Brina said, teasing him.

"Same here, my wife would be. And, speaking of which, don't forget to buy some sexy lingerie for you. You promised me some kinky stuff too" Louis said, chuckling.

Brina bit her lip, as she just imagined… ahem.. ahem.

"You shouldn't worry if it, dear husband. I will surely torture your eyes" she giggled, teasing him.

"Ha! Don't ask for mercy then" he threw back her words.

"I don't think you would be able to hear those words from my mouth" Brina made a bet.

"Is it a challenge?" Louis asked.

"Uh hmm" Brina hummed a reply.

"It's accepted then." he laughed, but he grunted.

Why is he turned on now??

This is so frustrating...ahh.

"Seems like someone is having a situation there. Oops….so, bad self control" Brina teased. All her bad mood hurled out of her window.

"Can't blame it!" Louis sighed.

"As the time was ticking, my self control started slipping from its hold. The person accountable for that has to take the responsibility" Louis said.

"Sure thing! But you need an ice chilling cold shower now. I am just sad I am missing fun" Brina added, chuckling.

"Oh, don't be sad, little vixen. This will be the last time I will have a cold shower to relieve myself. After this another week, I just don't need to do so" he grinned.

"Wrong" Brina mused.

"Huh?" Louis questioned.

"Of course honey. When I get pregnant with our baby or babies, you will have to take cold showers for months, probably very often too" Brina said, chuckling.

However, all she received was silence from the other side.

"Honey, you there? Or, were you-" she suddenly got interjected when Louis abruptly cut her off.

"I will ask Rhianna to make an appointment with your gyn doctor. You have to take your money shots starting from now" he said, his voice suddenly not so playful as before.

He is serious.

"You don't want-" Brina was about to ask a question but got cut off in the middle, with his answer.

"Not now. Not for these two years at least. But, later, yeah, sure, why not?" he casually said.

And, when he got a silence as his answer, he realized that he sounded a little rash now.

"I just don't want to share you anytime soon, love. Besides this, we still have our enemies out there, ready to hurt you"

"I don't want you or our kid to get hurt. I can handle anything but not this. So, let's not hurry up and take it slowly" Louis said.

"You're right. Let's not hurry with having little Louis" Brina said, smiling.

"Or, little Brina," Louis added.

"Or, both," Brina chuckled.
