Samantha

My brother and I are both struggling as we live together in an apartment. After we left Rachel's house, Rom visited us and apologize for what he said, although I didn't really admit that I overheard their conversation. Three months later, Shane's investment works. Now, we're starting to live a normal and simple life while I'm pregnant with my child.

Staring at my own reflection in the mirror, I was caressing my four months baby bump. I'm starting to move on, but I cannot really say that I'm happy. There's a big hole in my heart, and it's certainly Jacob's place. I miss him, so much. After our last conversation in the hospital, he didn't show up to me anymore. I can only see him through magazines, billboards, internet, and TV. I can say that he's definitely out of my reach, but I can't stop my heart from beating for him.

“Sammy!”

I quickly wore my robe and went out of my room. I saw Shane sitting on his wheelchair. He smiled at me as he po

    SamanthaI was staring back at Jacob. He was just standing at the other side of the elevator, staring down at me, and I'm completely intimidated. I know it's not his intention, but I can't help it. Seeing him now, I can really say that I'm not ready to face him yet.He rolled his tongue over his lips, wetting it. “How are you?”I don't know. I don't know how I manage to answer him, but I saw him nodded. Did I answer yet?He pressed his lips together as he looked down. “I'm sorry. I know, you made it clear to me. I understand, I just… don't have any idea that this is where your brother invest.”I nodded. That is not his fault. If not because of my brother, I would really think that our encounter here is purely coincidental.“It's nothing. I'm good, by the way. Starting to live a normal life.” I managed to answer despite the threat of cracking my voice.He nodded and rested his back against the elevator. From the ground, h

    SamanthaI was pushing my cart of groceries when I bumped into someone's cart. I lifted my chin to apologize, but my words were left hanging as I recognized the woman pushing the other cart. I still remember everything she told me. Still remember how small I felt like back when she was mocking me in the hospital. Still as elegant in her dress, she tilted her head as if trying to remember me.I slightly bowed my head and pulled the cart. I pushed it to the side to avoid her cart, but she purposely blocked my way. Her eyebrows swiftly shot up as she grinned at me. “Oppps! My bad!”I heaved a sigh, calming myself. I asked help from Rachel to find the connection of this woman to Jacob, and it turns out she is his older sister. Jacel Lee.“I see you're still wandering around here after dumping my brother. Are you waiting for him to chase you? Sorry to burst your bubble, bitch, he won't,” she added. Smirk and mocking tone didn't leave his lips and voice. She's really

    Jacob LeeI went home right after the meeting. I didn't know Samantha would be there. How cruel this fate can be? I'm trying so hard to keep my distance from her, but fate doesn't seem to like my decision. I respect her. I love her. I care for her. If letting her go will ease and mend the pain in her heart—that pain I helped to carve—I will risk my heart and happiness, so she can find her own happiness and contentment.Loving her was the most consistent feeling I ever felt. I was so damn happy when I get the chance to be with her. I made her smile. I made her laugh, but after all of that, I made her cry. I broke her. I regret everything I did, so I'm trying to move on, trying to correct my mistakes, but I can't. She's been haunting me every fucking second. She was in my dreams, and when I open my eyes, she was in my mind. It's killing me, wide-eyed. That woman is my first love and my only love. I only dreamed of marrying her, spending my life with her and our futur

    SamanthaI was biting my lips while waiting for Jacob. I called him because I was worried, but I wasn't able to stop my heart again. I want him. I love him. And now that I realized a possibility of losing him completely, I just lost it.I swallowed hard. It's only been five minutes since our call ended, but it feels like a thousand years of waiting.My breathing hitched when a car stopped in front of my apartment. The door was pushed open, followed by Jacob, who immediately got off his car and rushed to me.It became slow. Everything seemed to slow down. Jacob was staring directly at my eyes as he walked towards me.“Jacob…” I whispered.He stopped in front of me. In no less than a second, I was inside his warm embrace. He's hugging me tight, so tight, and right as if his life depended on me.“Thank you… Samantha, thank you for h-having me again!” He whispered with a shaking voice.Slowly, I lifted my arms and hugged him back.

    SamanthaMy fists are balled as I sat on the chair beside my brother. Jacob took the chair on my right, holding my balled fists. I'm sitting across Jacob's wicked sister. She was glaring at me. I don't even know why she's here. I'm certain she's not part of the company, not even a stockholder—or it's just what I thought?Heaving a sigh, I glanced at Jacob, who gently squeezed my fists. He stared into my eyes as if calming me down, and telling me everything will be handled just fine.Admit it or not, I am indeed nervous. Today, at this very moment, there's a big chance that my life will turn upside down for the second time. It feels like I will lose everything in an instant, and it's scaring the hell out of me.

He left his car in front of the company, saying it has a tracking device on it.I keep on glancing at Jacob. Anger is still visible on his face. Worried, I slowly caressed his arm. 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.

Theo and Jacob went fishing every morning. Sometimes, they do that for our meal, but most of the time—to sell, so they can support us.

    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.

    Jacob's POV"I will beg, Theo!" I desperately growled at Theo. He's restraining me from leaving. He just doesn't want me to leave and do the only thing I can think of. 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
