Clingy Love Chapter 419
The last thing Mona wanted to do was face the couple. It was not as though she had anything to talk about with them anyway. Mona was better off staying away. Out of sight, out of mind. While Mona turned away to leave, Samantha grabbed Mona by the wrist. Surprised, Mona looked at her apprehended hand in dismay. “Suzy,” Samantha suddenly cried out her name. Mona was baffled. “Don’t you think we’re sisters?” The question came as a bolt out of the blue for Mona. Although she did not want to answer Samantha, Mona was curious as to what she had up her sleeve. Hence, Mona carried on with the conversation. “Sisters? I don’t know about that, but if there’s one thing I know, we’re not on good terms.” As frustration flickered in Samantha’s eyes, she looked hurt. “You hold a grudge against me, but I’ve always seen you as a sister. We’re a family after all. I was petty and did things that hurt you in the past, but I hope you won’t take those to heart,” Samantha sincerely said as h
Clingy Love Chapter 420
There were some nosy people who dug up Mona’s past relationship with Thaddeus. Some said that she was his kept woman while others made her out to be a plaything in exchange for favors. There was a lot of guessing and ideas going on about Mona. Nevertheless, these chatters did not hurt Mona. She was strong enough to face public criticism. It was ugly to let anger and defensiveness get the best of her. That was not how she rolled. Nevertheless, Linda was not having it. How could she sit by and not do anything about the cocky Samantha? Raising her hand, Linda crooked her finger up at Samantha’s nose and angrily chided, “Do you think you’re all that, Samantha? You make up all the rumors in the world. You have no right to judge the person Suzy is. Watch your mouth. Don’t think for a second I don’t see through your plans, and it’s an ugly color on you.” Samantha opened her mouth and blinked her eyes. Her eyes welled up, adding to the innocent look on her face. “What are you saying,

Nevertheless, Samantha soon got her act together because she knew where she was and what she had set to do this evening. She was in the presence of the upper crust, so she must remain straight in the face to possibly finish the job. Hence, Samantha chose to smile weakly at Linda’s exposing comments and played the victim. So long as she did not admit to it, she could pretend nothing ever happened. Looking sad, Samantha glumly uttered, “I’m only an invited guest to the party. Ms. North, you don’t want to kick me out as if you’re the host even if you don’t like me. You said it yourself. You’re only a bodyguard. What right do you have to yell at me? We’re equals, aren’t we?” Samantha skillfully pushed the blame onto Linda, and the onlooking guests were swayed and saw the logic in her reasoning. Linda was only a friend of the host tonight. Yet, she carried herself with arrogance. It was unladylike to lash out at a formal event. Where were her manners? The rich thought little of

“Samantha, don’t you think you’re crossing the line?” Having kept his silence thus far, Victor approached with a wine glass in hand. With eyes on Samantha, he reflected a curt warning through his aloof eyes. “You’d better shut your trap if you wish to remain here. Cut the nonsense…” He then turned to Mona and then to Samanta before uttering, “Otherwise, I’ll have you thrown out.” The smile on Samantha’s face froze. Victor had put her in an awkward position. Smug, Linda put her hand over her mouth and snickered. She could barely cover the delight across her face. Victor looked over at Linda and frowned. Linda poked fun. “Mr. Cornwell, you’re a breath of fresh air. The other men were all over Ms. Mayers, trying to suck up to her while you gave her a dressing-down. Well, now she’s embarrassed herself.” She was not one to let things go. Linda would bite back at anybody who gave her hell. Mona immediately patted Linda’s arm so that the latter would quit it. Mona then pulled

Linda waltzed right up and came in Victor’s way. Victor tried to walk around her. “Could you step away, Linda? I need to see Suzy.” Victor was so focused on Mona that he did not notice the wine glass in Linda’s hand tipping over. The red wine spilled over him, especially in the crotch area of his pants. “Oops, sorry about that, old friend. It was a slip of the hand.” Victor turned ashen in the face, but he would dare not throw a huge tantrum in front of Mona. He waved his arm and left, pretending to let the matter slide. “It’s fine. I get a change of clothes from the car.” With Victor walking away, Linda and Mona sighed in relief. Mission completed. Mona smiled at Linda before getting up to hold her by the arm. “That’s some quick thinking. Come on. Let’s lay low in the private lounge.” Linda had always been an indifferent loner, so she did not like dealing with people. The exchange of words had drained her. The pair held hands as they advanced to the private lounge an
Clingy Love Chapter 424
Outside the private lounge, Mona and Linda stood near the door and peeked through the door left ajar. The angle gave them a full frontal view of the couple embracing inside. Samantha clung tightly to Thaddeus’ waist without looking at his face. Nevertheless, they intimately snuggled together. There was an indistinct conversation going on, but it was hard to pick up on what was said. The situation inside the private lounge took Mona by surprise. She curled her lips and smirked. Linda was stunned too. She always had the impression that Thaddeus was a callous and ascetic man. No woman could ever come close to him, except Mona, of course. Nevertheless, he did not push Samantha away! Linda tried to read Mona’s reaction from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Mona walked away with a poker face, Linda took quick paces to catch up to her. To think that Thaddeus had spoken confidently about getting back together with Mona not too long ago. Unable to find the words to comfort Mona
Clingy Love Chapter 425
Taking a gulp, Samantha hemmed and hawed, “I ran into the second son of the Ortega family at a party not too long ago. He just got back from abroad, and we hit it off. After a few drinks, he started to talk to me about some personal affairs, and one of them included his late sister. I found out that the name of his sister is Mona Ortega, so… I made my own assumptions.” Thaddeus lowered his gaze and studied Samantha like a chief judge for any signs on Samantha’s face that suggested otherwise. He did not believe that the young man of the Ortega family was the type to loosen up after a few drinks. If anything, the young man was the most disciplined one in the family. Hence, Thaddeus did not believe a word Samantha said. “Thaddeus, I know that you married Susan because she has an uncanny resemblance to Mona. You don’t love her. You only love the shadow of her to make up for the regret of yesteryears.” Seeing that Thaddeus did not refute, Samantha conceitedly added, “I have been d
Clingy Love Chapter 426
The cab pulled up at a residential building, and Linda and Mona got out of the car. There, they saw a black sedan parked in the middle of the main road. Mona narrowed her eyes as the car plate number looked rather familiar. With the door of the sedan opening, out came Victor. Linda gave Mona a nudge. “Look who’s here. What do we do? Should we make a run for it?” Mona shook her head. “You should head upstairs. I’ll have a chat with him.” “Don’t. I’m worried about you.” “I’m not a child. Go on. Help me put the kids to sleep.” “Alright then.” Linda kept looking back as she moved to the residential building. Her mind could not be at ease. Mona drew close to Victor and stayed three steps away from him. Victor had lost a lot of weight, and he had this sullen air to him. He seemed to be a different person since leaving the hospital. There was something grisly in his eyes. He appeared to be an injured animal, lurking in the dark to lick his wounds as he got ready to pounce on
