fucking emotional.
And Samantha. Sam cursed him out for three days straight before he couldn’t take it anymore and tried to break up with her. But Sam being Sam, she fell to her knees and after five minutes of begging him to stay with her, his cock ended up down her throat and all was forgiven. At least on her end. He was starting to see that he couldn’t forgive her for making Brianna disappear.
His relationship with Samantha started off purely as business. Her father was a prominent investor in several companies that he had his eye on. Being with her made him practically family, and after six months, he was invited into Frank’s business circle. After a year, he was in on all of his dealings. And now, there was a big merger happening and he wanted in on it. Leaving Samantha now would be a bad business move. Not that he didn’t love her. She was probably the only woman besides Kelsey and his mother that he’d truly loved. Samantha was beautiful and brilliant. She was the head surgeon at Mercy Children’s Hospital, and she was the type of woman that he always saw himself married to with three children.
“Sweetheart, daddy asked if we were still coming over for dinner tomorrow night.” Samantha asked, breaking him out of his mental rantings.
He was in no mood to hear Sam and her mother go over wedding details when there wasn’t even a ring on her finger yet. Then they’d start in on baby names. He was pretty sure their nonexistent children were already on the waiting list for Denver’s most elite private preschool.
At least that was one good thing. His child with Brianna would have everything. He wondered if it was a boy or girl. He’d love a son to be his heir and keep up the family’s line. But he’d also love a daughter to spoil. And Brianna seemed like she would be a wonderful mother. A little rough around the edges, but things like that mostly iron out with motherhood.
“Lucian!” Samantha was snapping her fingers in his face.
“What?” he snapped.
She looked taken aback for a moment before understanding crossed her features and she slid into his lap. “Honey, what’s wrong?” she asked, her voice going up two notches in an attempt to seem sweet.
“Nothing.” He lied. When she just frowned at him, he sighed. “I’m actually thinking about going to see Kelsey in New York.”
“I’d love to take a trip to New York!” she squealed. “There’s a few places I need to go anyway. That’s a wonderful idea.”
He didn’t want to argue with her, so he didn’t. “Dinner with your dad. What time?” he asked instead.
“Eight. I’ll meet you there. I have a late surgery scheduled in the evening.” She said.
It was just as well. He needed to move on from his Brianna fantasy and the only way to do that was through the truth. He loved Samantha first. He was planning to marry her. He would find a way to see Brianna alone in New York and then shop for an engagement ring. He’d tell Samantha about his unborn child and beg her forgiveness while presenting her with a diamond big enough to rival the one Kobe Bryant gave Vanessa when he made his mistake.
Yep. That was it. Decision made. He was moving on and getting married.
Seventeen
Brianna awakened naked and dazed. Bright light was shining directly into her face, nearly blinding her as she attempted multiple times to open her eyes. When she was finally fully awake, she shuddered thinking about why she was in a room that didn’t look familiar.
She had wine, then a few mixed drinks, then more beers than she could count. She remembered playing pool with Eleanor and Kevin. Frowning, she pushed past the nausea to another memory involving the hottest man she’d seen in months. He reminded her of Lucian with his dark hair and sapphire blue eyes, but he was more of a sexy bad boy than a corporate badass.
He was winning against everyone, but seemed to be surrounded by a particular
