Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Brianna rolled her eyes, feeling speechless. He was kissing me with affection just then, and now he’s threatening me. I shouldn’t expect him to change. Brianna thought.

Reluctantly, she muttered, “Honey.”

Scott somehow felt startled, and it took him a few seconds to acknowledge it. “Again.” He said. He liked it.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Why?” Brianna pouted her lips.

Scott chuckled at her reaction and pinched her lips gently. “Alright. You don’t have to now. But from now on, whenever you call my name, you have to say it with affection.” He wrapped his arm around her slim waist gently and buried his head on her neck, sniffing the pleasant scent of her, and just like that, he lay there still for a while.

Brianna found his behavior rather peculiar. She tapped his arm and said, “Hey, you should get up.”

“Why? Can’t I cuddle my own wife?”

“Yes, you can. But I just think you must have a lot of work to do.”

“Yeah. I should get back to work.” Scott got up and re-focused on work. Later, Levi came in and reported, “Mr. Scott Anderson, we have found some information. Angela was sent there deliberately to lure Mr. Jacob Morgan…”

Scott gave Levi a sharp look, and Levi immediately changed the subject.

Brianna noticed, but she waited patiently till Levi finished reporting and left the room. She asked curiously, “Scott…”

“Huh? How should you address me?”

“Ah, honey.” Brianna smiled, then went on, “What’s happened to Angela? What has it got to do with Jacob?”

Scott didn’t want to tell her, but Brianna insisted, tapping his hand persistently, “Tell me please.”

Scott rolled his eyes and said, “Didn’t you want to know where your friend Angela Davis is? I asked Jacob to look for her at Turn On Bar, and I thought that once she shows up, then you can see her.”

Brianna gazed at Scott as she listened. She was surprised and touched to know that Scott had actually been helping her look for Angela, and now his best friend had even gotten hurt for doing so.

She felt sorry. “How’s Jacob?” She asked.

“Don’t you worry about him? He’s fine.” Scott said briefly. Brianna knew that Jacob was hurt badly, much worse than herself and Scott, but she felt that Scott didn’t like her talking about other men, so she didn’t pursue it.

She then noticed the blood on his shirt. “You are bleeding!” She exclaimed worriedly and gently, she unbuttoned his shirt, genuinely concerned, to see how it was. Scott didn’t seem to be bothered by the pain, instead, he chuckled and teased, “Aren’t you in a hurry to see me naked? Ha-ha.”

Brianna stopped and stared at Scott speechlessly. “I will call the nurse.” She quickly turned around to ring the bell and felt a sharp pain from the wound at her back. “Ouch.” She exclaimed.

Scott held her hand gently and said, “You should rest. Don’t worry. I will go and ask a nurse to re-bandage it.”

While the nurse was re-bandaging Scott, Scott asked Levi about the investigation. “Have you found out who it is?”

“We are still unsure yet, though we know that it wasn’t Jake Moore that sent the gang, nor those that came in with guns later. Mr. Jameson Anderson doesn’t seem to have anything to do with it either, as he has been hanging out and having fun with his so-called friends. He went abroad for a few days.”

“I want confirmation.”

“Yes. Mr. Scott Anderson. By the way, apparently, Jake Moore has been hoping to get rid of the gang, but apparently, they work for someone big, and they are very loyal. It was said that the gang consists of over a thousand people.”

Scott knitted his brows. “So it’s not Jake Moore, and it’s not Jameson. Who can it be?”

“Mr. Sean Smith has always been neutral. It can’t be him. I wonder who else has the power and guts to compete with you.” Levi added.

Scott sneered and said, “I’m guessing it’s the guy that plotted the whole incident last time and ‘saved’ Brianna and Angela from his own trap. Jake Moore and Jameson are probably taking the chance to make it more difficult for me. He’s already using Angela as bait, and surely he wants to use her to lure Brianna.”

Scott knew that Jameson was involved because Jake had asked for the shares of The Anderson Corporation. I’m sure Jameson and Jake have made some kind of deal.

“Send Jameson a warning. Make him bleed a bit just to scare him.” Scott ordered.

“Yes. I will send a sniper.” Levi answered. “If Mr. Scott Anderson just forgets about Angela Davis, then we won’t need to worry about the mysterious man. He can’t threaten us with anything.” He suggested tentatively.

“Angela Davis and Jodie Field are the only friends Brianna has. They are probably the only two, apart from her mother, that she trusts and cares about. I don’t want her to lose her friend.” Scott said plainly.

“Mr. Scott Anderson…” Levi was to persuade him, but he changed his mind when he saw the determination on Scott’s face. He doesn’t want her to lose her friend, and he has asked his best friend to look for Angela Davis. He must care about her, especially now that she has risked her own life to save him. I guess even Mr. Jacob Morgan can’t talk him out of it. I’d better keep my mouth shut. Levi thought and prayed that Brianna would not be used by whoever it was to hurt Scott.

When the nurse finished re-bandaging Scott, he went back to Brianna’s room. She was asleep. He sat down on the sofa, watched her for a bit, then got back to work.

The pain on his shoulder and the broken rib would come and go, and he couldn’t help recalling how Brianna suddenly jumped at him to save him in the fight. She was terribly frightened, but she didn’t even think about her own life and saved me. Just an inch more to the left, and the bullet would go right through her heart, and she would be dead. Hasn’t she wanted to leave me? The question bothered him again. He felt confused.
