Chapter 12

Samantha

I LOOKED at Jacob, and he immediately avoided my gaze. I don't know if I'm just hallucinating, or he's really staring at me whenever I'm not looking at him. Have I gone paranoid?

Perhaps it's because I was avoiding him for the past few days.

I shook my head and grabbed the remote control. I turned the television on and started searching for a movie. Better not to think of him, besides, he's just my bodyguard.

I didn't find the movie interesting, so I decided to turn the television off.  I pulled myself up and was about to go upstairs when Jacob stopped me by blocking my way. I lifted my chin and met his eyes.

“Are you mad at me, miss Samantha?”

My forehead creased. “No.”

“Then, why aren't you talking to me?”

I straightened my back. Does it really matters to him? “Am I entitled to talk to you every day?”

“No, but we were good last time. What happened? Did I do something wrong? Did I of

    Chapter 13Samantha “WHY do you have to do that?” I asked him with rugged breathing. He could've pushed Lucian away, but he didn't, instead he beat him up and if not for Jacob, he wouldn't stop. Dylan grabbed both of my arms and glared at me with raging eyes. “You don't want me to beat him? Why? Because you're having an affair with him?!” I clenched my fist and looked at him with disgust. “You're insane, Dylan.” He laughed like a devil and gripped my arms tighter. His jaw clenched. “Oh, sweetheart. Yes, I am insane because no one in his right mind will do this.” I was about to push him away when he pushed me on the wall and attacked my lips. I gasped when he bit my lower lip, causing it to bleed. His hands started wandering in my body as my heart started pounding in fear. My hands started shaking, but the thought of feeding his fetish by seeing me in fear froze me. No! I can't show any more fear. With all my courage, I pushe

    Chapter 14Samantha I'M so thankful that Dylan wasn't able to go home tonight. His absence calmed me, and it will surely make me sleep soundly tonight. Just the mere thought of not having him around makes me wanna jump in happiness, I just hope he completely disappeared in my life. After dinner, I went back to the bedroom. I tried sleeping early, but I couldn't, so I went to the living area only to see Jacob in the couch, he's drinking while puffing a cigarette. Slowly, I went to him and sat on the couch across him. He sat straight and stared at my eyes. “Why are you still awake, Samantha?” I wanted to ask why he dropped the honorifics that he used to call me, but that wasn't important. “Do you need something?” he added another question, which I also refused to answer. I don't have anything to say, and I can't think of anything apart from staring at him without feeling embarrassed. His forehead creased. “Samantha?” I

    Chapter 15Samantha “I WILL BE attending a party, you have to come with me.” Dylan said with an authority. He's facing the mirror while drying his wet hair. He just got home, and I'm so happy that he didn't think of touching me tonight. He then glanced at me through the mirror and glared. “Didn't you hear me?” I heaved a sigh and got off the bed. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I came back, Dylan is sitting at the edge of the bed and there's a red evening gown on the bed. “Wear this.” he coldly said and left. I just heaved another sigh and grabbed the dress. He's taking me with him, I don't know if I should be thankful about that because I can distract myself from thinking about Jacob's confession. I haven't seen him tho, he's always avoiding me, which is good because I will do the same if I saw him. After putting a light makeup, I went to the living area. Dylan quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me out

    Chapter 16SamanthaJACOB keeps on glancing at me while we're going home from the party. Dylan is beside me, and he's fast asleep—completely drunk. I rolled my tongue over my lips as I glance at Jacob through the rear mirror. He caught my stare, and he smiled—showing me his perfect set of teeth and beautiful smile that could make any woman fall for him.I still can't believe that he likes me—even if I'm like this. I'm miserable and broken. How did he end up liking someone like me?The whole ride was silent. When we reached the house, I stared at Dylan—trying to figure out if I have to wake him up or just leave him here sleeping.The door beside me was pulled open. I turned my gaze at Jacob, who's staring down at me. “Let's go inside, so you can take a rest.”I pressed my lips together. “How about him?” and then I turned my gaze back to Dylan beside me.“Let him be.”

    SamanthaJACOB and I spent the whole day inside the house. We cleaned together, even if he's convincing me to just sleep and rest. Being the hardheaded woman I am, I ignored him and just continued vacuuming the floor. He was wiping the glass windows and just heaved a sigh after I ignored him for the nth time.After cleaning the windows, he went to the kitchen and started cooking our lunch. My eyes followed him—narrowing and fixing my gaze on his prominent and handsome face. A smile unknowingly formed in my lips. Having him around calms me, yet it makes me nervous and scared. I feel it would be better not to exaggerate my thoughts, but I can't help it. He suddenly confessed his feelings for me when it's not the right time yet. We just met, but, nevertheless, I should trust this man who shows so much care and love to me. I could give my all if needed, but I have to be certain about his feelings for me—to avoid another heartbreak.I dropped the vacuum a

    SamanthaDYLAN came back home with a raging face. He immediately went to me and pointed a finger that I almost kick him. I don't like anyone pointing a finger at me. That was just disrespectful, and I hate it to death.“You!” he growled at me. “Your bastard of an ex sued me! What did you say to him, huh?!”My lips parted in shock. Lucian sued him? Damn! What the hell was Lucian thinking? Dylan could get away with this easily. That was one hell of a wrong move!Dylan was about to slap me when Jacob interfered, “Sir, there are police officers outside, and they're looking for you.”I swallowed hard and looked at Jacob. He shifted his gaze to me as soon as Dylan left us to face the officers. Jacob's jaw clenched as he stared at me intensely. I slowly shook my head, not wanting to involve him in this mess.He heaved a sigh after the tension and withdrew his stares.I shifted my eyes to the window, where

    SamanthaDYLAN came back with police officers behind him. My lips parted in shock after he welcomed the officers and politely offered them a coffee, which they refused. He then darted his eyes to my direction and smiled, “Hello, my dear wife.”He went to me and gently kissed my cheeks. He faced the officers, “You see, officers. There's no way that I'd hurt this beautiful lady beside me after I chased her for years just to gain her trust. That complainant you're talking about must be crazy,”I couldn't speak. Now, I understand what's happening. The two police officers are here to look after us after someone reported that Dylan is hurting me. They probably did not find any concrete evidences against Dylan to file a case, so they're here, watching his move.“Sweetheart, someone accused me of hurting you. I know who was it. Probably, he's jealous because you fell in love with me after he left you,” Dylan heaved a sigh and s

Everyone in our mansion are greeting us as they spend the night with my evil husband who's smiling like a freaking angel—hiding his true colors rotting smell of evilness.“So, my wife here needs so much care. We aren't really expecting this to happen. L-Losing a child is—is so h-heartnreaking.”I stared blankly at Dylan's face. He's acting as if he was really hurt and brokenhearted. I pressed my lips together and went upstairs. I don't wanna talk with those people. They won't help me, anyway.I lazily dropped my body on the bed and squeezed my eyes closed. Few minutes later, and I heard the sliding door in the balcony of the bedroom. I turned my gaze to that direction and my eyes widened in shock. “Jacob?”Jacob is standing by the sliding door, and he's holding a one tulip flower. He smiled and handed me the flower. “Good evening, beautiful.”

    Samantha's POVI can't move. I can't even lift a single finger. After I heard that gunshot, a deafening silence followed. Tears continued cascading down my cheeks as I covered my ears, afraid of another gunshot. Did he… did he really kill himself? No! He must pay for his sins. He can't escape just like this. He can't!"SAMANTHA!"I jumped in shock as a series of bang on the door followed that familiar voice. That voice! Jacob! Am I dreaming? Is he really here?"Samantha, baby, are you in there?"I looked at the door and slowly crawled backwards. The door swung opened, revealing Jacob, whose eyes are dead worried. His sharp eyes immediately softened after he saw me."Jacob!" I cried his name as his warm embraced enveloped me. He hugged me tight. So, so tight and warm."I'm sorry… I'm sorry for coming late, baby. I'm so sorry…" he whispered while kissing my hair.My trembling hands reached his back and I hugged him tight. I cried in his chest. "You came! You saved me, Jacob!""Shhh! Hu

I will beg to my family just so I can find Samantha. I will kneel willingly, so they'd help me."Do you think they will really help you? Our family are worse than you think, Jacob. They won't allow you to be happy after you turned your back on them."I looked down, hopeless. I don't know what to do anymore. When I decided to leave, Shane stopped me. And now, Theo is convincing me to stay. I don't wanna stay here and wait. I don't wanna stay here and do nothing. I just can't."Your daughter needs you, Jacob. I know you want to save Samantha. You badly want to be with her again. You're damn worried, but if you leave, what will happen to your daughter? Didn't you promise Samantha that you'll take care of your child?

    Samantha's POVI watched Dylan entered the room with a tray of food. He was smiling so wide, so bright, and I know that behind those smiles, he was thinking something selfish and devilish. I've known him for a long time. I've been fooled by him real good, and he's done enough to make me want to puke every time I see his face.He walked towards the bed where I'm sitting and put the tray on the bedside table. He leaned to me and kissed my cheek. I would love to spit on his face, but I have to play my cards well. Dylan is a bastard, and I know he knew that I have plans."Are you hungry, sweetheart? Do you want me to feed you?"I looked at him, despise is visible in my eyes. I don't wanna pretend that I don't hate him. He's f-cking bastard and coward for doing this. Abducting me, and blackmailing that he would hurt my child and Jacob? He's plain stupid!"Why don't you eat alone, Dylan? I don't have an appetite. I've lost it the moment I saw your face," I said with my clenching jaws.He ch

    I've been searching for Samantha for a week, but I always fail to find her. I can't help but to cry on the seventh days because of worry and frustration. I know that it was Dylan, who took her. What made me furious even more was she was taken even when i'm just with her that day. She was taken without me noticing. Dylan managed to take her away on my guard, and i'm so angry at myself. I hate myself."What do we do, Jacob?" Theo asked me and heaved a sigh. "The investigator haven't found any clue for the past few days. I bet our family is also blocking our connections. They think Samantha is the problem here."I clenched his jaws and looked at Shane. He was silently listening while staring at baby Sunny in his lap. I'm aware that he's frustrated either, but he's trying to calm and convince himself that his sister is safe."You need to ask help from our family, Jacob," Theo added.I clenched my jaws and shook my head as I lifted his face and looked at Theo. "No! I will find her myself,

    Samantha's POVAfter I got discharged, we went home straight. Jacob was so careful of me and our baby that sometimes I'll just laugh at him because he's really overreacting."I'm not a baby, Theo!"I looked at my brother, who growled at Theo. The annoying Theo keeps on insisting on carrying him to sit on the couch, but my brother, who's showering with pride, keeps on refusing.I just shook my head and looked at my sunshine in my arms. I went to the kitchen, following Jacob, who's gonna cook our dinner."Hey!" Jacob noticed me behind him. He smiled and went to us. He kissed our baby's knuckles. "Hello, my little sunshine. Daddy is here."I smiled and stole a kiss on his cheek. He looked at me and shot his eyebrow up. "You're abusive."I chuckled and chewed my lower lip. I shook my head. "You don't like it?"He grinned and kissed my lips. It was a passionate and long kiss while his left hand is keeping my face in place. He licked his lower lip after the kiss and winked.

There are tears at the corner of his eyes as he gently caressed the baby's balled small fists.He lifted his face and looked at me. He went to my side and gently out the baby in my arm. I smiled. She looks like an angel. She's so beautiful."She's so beautiful, baby…" Jacob whispered to me. I smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah." My voice is hoarse from screaming while delivering Sunshine. It was so painful. I was crying the whole time. Exhausted and scared, but when I saw my baby, the pain, exhaustion, and fear vanished.I rolled my tongue over my lip and looked at Jacob. He's just staring at me. He looked tired too. There are dark circles under his eyes. His hair is a bit long. He's even become more tan. It's all because he's been working so hard for us.He smiled and caressed my cheek. "Thank you for giving me another reason t

He glanced at me and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry about Jacel."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine, Jacob. It's nothing."His jaw clenched. "They haven't started. My grandfather will do everything to make us struggle severely.""Don't worry, Jacob," Theo paused and tapped his cousin's shoulder. "I got some help here."My forehead creased when he lifted a black briefcase while smirking.Jacob glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "What's that?""Money," Theo grinned and chuckled. "You're not the only smart boy here, Jacob."Jacob chuckled at what his cousin said. He shook his head. "When did you put that in there?""Hmm! You left your car open, Jacob. I paid some kid around
