WEST'S POV

"Will she be okay?"

"Relax, sir, a deadly poison was added to her drink. But her cells are strong, and her immune system is fighting the poison aggressively. Just relax."

"How can I fucking relax when my girl is in there fighting for her life, and I don't know if you people have the competency to treat her?" I wish I were a doctor; I would have treated her myself. I can't be sure she is in safe hands, but I can only hope so. I pace around the front counter before walking to the bench opposite her ward. It's ironic how mother and daughter are lying side by side in two different hospital wards.

"How is Sam?"

I raise my hands from the pit of my palm where it is buried and look up to familiar brown and concerned blue eyes. "Drink poisoning." Luca, you will need mass reemployment because all your current ones will have their throats cut off."

"West, we will find out who is responsible for this." Luca says acidly.

"Why would someone poison her?" Lily asks courtly.

    SAMANTHA'S POVI stretch my hands over my head, stirring in bed and enjoying the early morning wake. The bed feels different...a little strange, but that is it; a lot of things have been strange lately. I can feel sunlight streaming from the right angle and burning into my skin. I groan and try to drift back to Dreamland, but it doesn't work. With a heart full of grudge, I open my eyes and sit up in the bed. "West! Where am I..." I look around; my wrist is connected to a drip, and I'm wearing a checked patient gown. Why am I in a hospital bed? What happened...West is standing by the window, still drawing up the curtains. He is still wearing his navy blue suit pants from last night's event; his white shirt is flying out of his pants, and his hair is tousled. "Good morning, beautiful." He turns around.I quickly shut my eyes tightly to feign sleep. His seductive laughter fills the room as he strides towards me. The mattress depresses with his weight. I hold my breath and wait for his t

    WEST'S POV"Easy, baby." I open the door to the car and help Samantha in. I have to take good care of her and ensure nothing bad happens to her; to think that I almost lost a girl I had yet to start loving was devastating. It's just that I don't want to scare her. I would have proposed to her already. I turn around to the driver's seat and enter inside the car. I have to hurry back to my suite to change into something suitable for my meeting with Luca at the construction site, and after that I hope I will meet Tiffany and the employee that poisoned my girl. For now I breathe in and drive out. "So you will resume at New Voices Co today?""Yes. I'm super excited. I can't thank you enough." She turns to me, her face beaming with a smile. "How can I repay you?""It's simple, with your body. Make it mine."Samantha's face squeezes in a frown. "I don't like casual sex. What exactly are we?"You are my girlfriend, and you are not a whore." I add the last words for emphasis to make her feel

    WEST'S POV"Thank you for such a delicious meal. You didn't tell me this is what my friend has been enjoying; I would have moved in with you two ever since, rather than spend extra money to lodge in a suite." Lily laughs and signals the maids to clear the table. "How is Samantha? I hope she is getting better.""Yes, it is really stressful. I have been instructed by the doctor to take good care of her, and that includes showering her."Luca sighs. "That must be really stressful.""It is VERY STRESSFUL." I feign tiredness. "Did you get any useful information from Sam's mom last night at the hospital?"Lily shakes her head. "No, she was asleep when I went in.""You still think she is your sister, sweet?" Luca throws the question to his wife."I don't know. I'm not sure. It may as well be a silly coincidence; maybe Sam is just Isabella's clone. Someone that looks like Isabella...or what I think Isabella will look like since I never knew her as an adult. But I will just meet her mom and g

    SAMANTHA'S POV"How are you getting on with your assigned work?"I love the job so much. This is my dream job, what I have wanted to do for so long." I turn to face Maria fully. She is the girl sitting in the next cubicle. We, the interns, were divided into different departments, and in the research department, the interns were given a small space to work, each with a designated desk and chair and a light board separating one from another, almost like a library setting. You have to stand up and look over before you can see your next neighbor. Maria has been so eager to make friends with the way she has been leaning over her board since my arrival and talking non-stop to me. I already know that she has two pets, a cat and a dog, each representing the two different guys she is dating. She lives with her dad; her mom is out of town, and she is the only child, and she is yet to attend college."Just wait; till you are moved from beginner to intermediary level, you will fall in love again

    SAMANTHA'S POV"Samantha, I'm not your biological mother; I didn't give birth to you. But I hope I am still qualified enough to be called your mom." She sobs. "You were so little, partially hurt by the plane crash but still alive. It was a miracle if you ask me. The plane and everyone in it were completely burned. It was at the beach late at night when I was alone. I took you; I couldn't save your parents. I'm sorry. It was still the next day before I could inform the authorities of the plane crash. I kept you because I didn't know who to return you to. I didn't want to return you. I'm sorry. I'm just a bad woman. I was lonely; Harry wasn't enough. The doctor's diagnosis is that you suffered a loss of memories of your younger years, and only an explosive event can trigger the recovery of the memory. "But..." Lily looks around confused. "We buried the entire family.""Everything was burnt. Did you see their faces?""What was the date of the accident?""19th July." My mom looks at Lily

    WEST'S POV As we step out of the dungeon, we don't run back to the house; we walk slowly, neither of us saying anything to the other. I'm sure Luca thinks what I did was stupid, killing the only direct culprit we had to the offense, and maybe it was stupid. What was I even thinking when I did that? I shake my head. I wasn't thinking. As we walk halfway through to his mansion, Luca's phone starts ringing. "Oh, who is disturbing our peace..." He starts grumbling as he struggles to redraw the phone from his pocket. His face lights up when she sees the caller ID. I wonder who it is. "Hello, sweet." Lily. "What?" His voice changes immediately, so does his expression. "Is she okay?" "Is who okay?" I start pulling at his hands to bring the phone to my ears and hear who Lily is talking about." "A bomb? Where is Samantha now? How bad was it? She's dead?" Okay, that does it; I will die of suspense. I jump and snatch the phone from Luca, putting it in my ears and shouting. "What ha

    SAMANTHA'S POV I stir and fumble to turn my body on the bed and drift back to enjoy my sleep, but there's something pressing me down. I wave my hands aimlessly in the air, trying to fight off the hand pressing me down to the floor, but I can't see a thing. A pillow is pressed into my head, suffocating out my breath. Is this how I'm going to die, in a room? With a pillow? In a room full of people, without anybody knowing. I force a throat-wrenching scream from my throat. I hope somebody can hear me; I hope they can. The pillow is thrown out of my face as I hear feet shuffling around the floor and running towards the window. I force my eyes to come open, and I see the female form jumping out of the window. A loud force hits the door to my room, forcing it open. I can hear indiscriminate murmurs outside the door... I try to drag the hem of the dress, but it slips off, and the woman jumps out of the window. I struggle to stand, but my weak feet protest any form of movement. The ban

    WEST'S POV "Sam, what is wrong with you?" I raise her up slightly, checking her body; she is still breathing, and she has not sustained any injuries.Luca leans into me. "I will call the estate's doctor." "I'm really sorry for the stress that I and Samantha have caused you in the past few days." I apologize to Lily and lift Samantha up to the bed. "Oh please don't be silly. She is my sister, and you are family. I will never count helping you as stress."Luca rejoins us. "The doctor is here." He steps aside for the doctor to enter the room, an elderly man of puny structure with gray hair and freckled skin; he adjusts his wired frame glasses. The doctor moves to the bed where Samantha is resting. He drops his box on the cupboard and checks her temperature. "What happened to her?""She screamed and fainted afterwards." Luca answers."Good day, doctor." I stand up from the bed to give the doctor enough space to conduct his multiple tests. "Hey, West." Luca signals me with his fingers

    SAMANTHA'S POV I feel so stupid right now. After everything my husband has done for me, this is how I repay him—by ditching him on our wedding.The grumpy officer bangs heavily on the metal gate of our cell. "Wake up; your family is here; you are going home." He unlocks it and holds it open for us. I tap my girls to wake up, and I rush over to the officer. "How did they know that...""Don't ask me any questions." He spits.We all run out of the cell to meet everyone. Luca looks pissed, Lily looks really mad, and West... well, West looks disappointed. In me. "I'm sorry." I try to touch West's hands, but he flinches. "It's 6:45 am. The wedding is by 7:00 am." West walks out without another word to me. Lily and Luca walk out as well. Great! I collect my property and rush out to join them in West's limousine, with Stacy, Alice, and Maria following behind me.It doesn't take up to five seconds for us to reach the mansion, or maybe it's just my thinking, but I don't dare to check the time

For what it is worth, today is your spinster's eve."I'm not dressing indecently, and that's on period. This is a little too much now." I light the dress with the tip of my finger to show how disgusting it is. "This is the kind of thing I should wear for my honeymoon, for West's eyes only, not to a damn club full of people.""Huh," Alice shakes her head. "You have not really enjoyed your life; now you are getting married?""Why are we even still going through? Lily is not coming. The men are having theirs in a cafe, and we are going to the club. I don't know why, but I don't feel right about this. I don't know what my mind is making me feel like something bad has happened or is about to happen. I don't know if it has something to do with Lily warning me to be careful. "Of course we are ladies; we have to go to a club." Alice

    SAMANTHA'S POV "How do you feel?" A voice calls out to me. "Sam." The voice is familiar. "Are you still asleep? Wake up!"I stir on the bed, obeying the order; my eyes fly open; the room is too bright. My eyes close on their own accord; taking time to get acquainted with the light, they reopen, and that's when I look around. I'm on a hospital bed? "Why am I on a hospital bed?" I mutter to myself. I can't really remember clearly the events of the last few hours, but I know I'm pregnant. My fingers roam across the bump on my belly...but it feels flatter. I look down. "Where is my baby?""Relax. Our baby is fine." The familiar voice reassures me as I feel a set of strong fingers wrap around my fingers. West.I turn to him and notice a plaster on his shoulder; red backs and bruises on his exposed skin bring back the ugly memories. I was kidnapped; I was taken care of. Tiffany brought a doctor that tried to cut my belly open; my West helped me push out our baby. I smile. "Thank you, honey

    LILY'S POV"Everybody in this van is bleeding and needs medical attention; please, driver, speed on!" I tap on Maria's seat.Maria triples the speed of the car, flying over road bumps and bumping into lightweight trees, and we are lucky we are still driving in the lonely part of the city; else those light trees would have been people.I turn to Samantha, whose eyes are now shut. "Sam?" I look up to West, who is holding her in his arms; his neck is hanging loosely to the side. He is asleep, and his shoulder is bleeding. "There is no first aid box in this van?" I turn to Danny, who is being attended to by one of the females in his gang, Clara. He signals me that she will come to us soon. I turn back to Samantha, whose eyes are still closed. "Samantha. Samantha!" I shout and shake her body, drawing the attention of Luca and West. "What is wrong?""Is she okay?""She is not answering." I reply to them, my eyelids wet with tears as I continue shaking her."Samantha!" West rested his head

    WEST'S POV"Run!!" Luca shouts. "Go with the baby and Sam."Thank goodness, I'm a hulk; I place my baby on my back and wrap another cloth over her tightly on my chest. I do everything with demon speed. I lift my fiancée in my arms and walk out through the back door. I check both sides; it's really cleared. I memorized the map in my hands before shoving it into my pants pocket, and we started moving out through the bush tracks.We are still in close range of the building when a voice calls out. "You need any assistance, though, man?"I turn to my left to find a redhead watching me. I shake my head. "I don't need help.""Why? We could really be of help."The next voice is from my right side. Another man is watching me. That's odd. No one was supposed to be on this bush track. Don't panic. West. Don't panic. I ignore them and try to refocus on my task. "West!" That voice is familiar. Too familiar, and that is because I have known the bearer my whole life, or almost my whole life.I turn

    WEST'S POVMy first thought is to carry her out of here and take her to a hospital, but the van we brought is packed more than 100 miles away. There is still a set of bodyguards waiting for us at the entrance or already coming after us, but the way I'm seeing Sam right now, I don't think we have the luxury of time to waste. We will deliver the baby!I fold the sleeves of my hoodies, and my eyes land on the bedside desk, which looks like an operation table because of the things on it: a syringe, a pack of hand gloves, cotton wool, a pad, towels, a blanket, and a knife. "Is it safe to use this?"She nods. "They brought a doctor. She wanted to force my baby out."What? Is that how devilish Tiffany can be? I want to find her and kill her right away, but I have to wait and attend to Sam first; she is more important. I stretch to the table and open the pack of gloves, and I remove a pair.A loud gunshot pierces through the air as violent men rush in. I cover my body partially over Sam, look

    LILY'S POV"Oh my gosh! I feel like I'm in a movie scene right now. I told you, Maria. I felt like something crazy was about to happen to us." I look around the silk van that was arranged by one of my husband's friends. It is screaming top assassin machinery with the black leather seats, speaker, radio, and TV on the top and dark-tinted glass and all of Maria's electronic gadgets and wires, and oh, don't get me started with the demon speed of this vehicle. "Well, here we are." Maria laughs. She had successfully arranged the fake business deal between us and Viktor. "Yes, Clara, keep moving." She says.We watch Clara and Austin carry briefcases each and confidently stroll through the gate. The empire is in the middle of nowhere with tall bushes surrounding the skyscraper kind of fence. It's the kind of building that screams danger from afar. The guard by the gate is well stocked with rifles and arms on every part of his chest and arms. We can see him stretch out his hands to Clara and

    LILY'S POV"Welcome in! I hear you have news about my sister. How is she? My husband informed me of your arrival." I adjust the denim dress I have on as I step aside and open the door wider for the guest to enter in."Hi, good morning." He enters in, tall and tough-looking; the man I believe is Donny walks in. "Your sister is perfectly fine." Assures me.I move to close the door, but a tougher-looking man enters in, and another, and soon a small battalion is congregating in my living room. I look around in confusion; my husband had only informed me of one man, Donny. "Welcome all." I smile, trying not to look receptive."After they are all seated, it doesn't take long for the familiar sound of my husband's car to roll in. Luca, West, and Maria, a girl Tiffany had introduced to us as her friend from New Voices Co, help themselves into the living room, and we begin the business of the day.Donny takes the floor to talk to us all on the current state of affairs.

    SAMANTHA'S POVTiffany! I should have ended her when I had the chance. I rise to my feet angrily, causing the chair to stumble and fall backwards. "A restraining order couldn't fucking do it?" Sam. Is Sam missing? No. I start pacing around, tousling my hair like a lunatic. Where do I find her? Tiffany! I'm so mad at myself to think that I waited this much precious time chasing after dust when... How do I even find Tiffany?"What is going on in that mind of yours?" Luca's voice draws me back to reality."I...." How do I put everything I'm feeling in one word? "Tiffany...Sam. Sam is missing!""What?""How can Sam be missing?" Two distinct female voices cry from the doorway.I turn around to see two ladies rushing into the office. Alice and Stacy. "Do you know where she went to from the mall?""Home." She turns to the other girl. "Isn't it, Stacy? Where else will she go? What happened to her? The girl's eyes look so glassy as if she is about to cry. Why?Luca stands from his chair. "I w
