SAMANTHA'S POV

"Hey Sam." Alice and Stacy call out to me. They are not my friends; they are just girls I came to know in my years of growing up in Indonesia. How I look American with blonde, filled hair while my mom depicts the ancient Indonesian woman is eye-raising most times; people always wondering if I'm adopted, but Alice and Mia here never seemed to care.

"Hi." I lean against the wall and look up to the sky. It's already dark; I put my hands into my pocket to prevent catching a cold. Alice and Stacy are leaning against the wall; they are not even wearing jackets, and the length of their macro skirt and shirt showing exposed cleavage tells me that they are really immune to cold. Why did I accept to come here again?

"Alright, come in." Alice pulls at my wrist. She lives alone, so I don't bother asking if her parents are home or not. Between the time of morning and now, Mia had stopped at our house to inform me of a new gig that could earn me some dollars. I have no idea what the

    SAMANTHA'S POVHe pulls me towards a room, trying to push me in with him. I struggle against. "Let go of me." I look at the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. Mint green, so light you'd think they were gray. I'm not supposed to be admiring him at this point."Why? I'm going to be easy on you, baby; we had a deal." He starts moving his fingers under my hoodie.What deal? "I didn't have any deal with you; let go of me." I try to punch him, but he easily grabs my wrist; I attempt with the second one, and he easily grabs it too. My both wrists are now imprisoned in one big hand."I like you in this position, Amy, submitted and under my control." He presses me against the wall, his hulking structure hovering over me."I'm not Amy!"He traces his hands on the tag hanging around my neck, his fingers touching my breasts over my hoodie in the process, and I've never been touched before. I'm as virginal as a nun, so even this tiny, accidental touch from an arrogant stranger is enough to ignite a w

    WEST'S POVI adjust my tie properly, rubbing my eyes that are still hazy with sleep due to last night's party and the girl... "Hey, Luca." I respond to my boss's greetings over the phone as I step out of my hotel room and walk the distance to take the elevator."West, how is the survey process going?" Luca's deep voice resounds over the phone. "Well, there is a lot of good land here for estate business, but I haven't really been able to pitch the idea to the local authority yet." I walk over to the small cafe that's at the left wing of the Sailor's Suites, scratching my head as I wait for Luca's scolding on how delay in business is delay in profit, but it doesn't come."Where are you now?" He finally asks after a long silence."Sailor Suites, one of the best in the area." I nod at the lady at the cafe, signaling I need my usual, and by usual, I mean black, bitter, and too hot. "I'm staying here so that I can learn and copy a few things to make our estate surpass this.""Good. Good bu

    SAMANTHA'S POV I follow him behind as he heads for the elevator. We enter in, and he clicks the fourth floor. The lift up is sufferably quiet, with neither of us talking. He brings out his phone and taps on the screen; he's texting someone. A pretty lady, I bet, like Amy or the one he kissed last night at the club.I'm thinking of how I will enter his room, close my eyes, and hide behind the door waiting for him to undress, collect the clothes, and run out to launder them. I'm pretty sure it's already past 45 minutes. I wonder what this stranger is thinking. Stranger? This is the second time we're meeting, and I don't even know his name.As if sensing my line of thoughts. He shoves his phone in his pocket and turns to me, stretching out his hands. "I'm West."I take his outstretched hands. "You already know my name.""Wow, you really do have manners."I don't miss the sarcasm dripping from his words. As the lift lands on the fourth floor, we step out, and I once again follow him. Tod

    WEST'S POVWhy would she accuse me of sexual assault? Has she been assaulted before? What did I even care but I do the thing pulling me to her is stronger now. I want to know her pains, her hopes, her motivations. This certainly can not be love at first sight.I thought I once fell in love before. For almost twenty years with one woman but I was wrong. It wasn't love. It was lies, pains and heartbreak. I hope I'm not getting it wrong again, I'm too old for these.I told Samantha, I have a buisness meeting in less than 45 minutes but It's already an hour past the time I was supposed to meet with my partners. I only planned the meeting in my head, but I did not call them, I only said that to make Samantha panic a bit. She's cute when her emotions run wild. In the main time I know what brought me here, business. I can't risk another call from Luca and me telling him that I haven't started regional planning.I dress in the navy blue suit selected by her, I've never really liked this suit

    SAMANTHA'S POV"Oh shit!" I jump off my bed as my eyes lock on the wall clock in the corner, one of the few assets I've been able to acquire from my job. "How did I sleep this late?" I run into the bathroom and struggle to hold my gag as I wash my body and run out. In less than five minutes I'm dressed and ready for work.I hang my bag across my shoulder and head into the small living room. "Mom, I'm off to work." She doesn't answer. Since Uncle Harry died, sorry, since she killed him, she has been so withdrawn. I wonder how the death of a man that treated you so badly will throw you into depression. "Mom!" I move closer to the couch and touch her legs. There's a beer bottle hooked on her elbow, her neck is resting to the left, and her eyes are closed. She's drunk again. "Mom, wake up; you haven't been to the laundry store in almost a week now." She doesn't answer; she must have passed out last night because of her excessive drinking. I'm already running late; I rush to the window an

    West's POVI don't know why Samantha is just too stubborn. Move out from that crab of a house; she wouldn't do it. I don't know how she will react when she hears I want her to move in with me because, well, the facility we arranged to shelter the families that will be affected by the demolition process is already filled up, and my suite, like I've already stated, is large enough for a family of three, and since Sam is an expert in running away and avoiding me, we may never even bump into each other."Move out of the way." I use my hands and body to push people out of the way as the nurse speeds the stretcher with Sam's mother on it into the emergency ward. Sam comes running after us, panicked eyes, her hotel uniform all queezed and scattered, blonde hair that is always packed in a tight bun now has some tendrils rolling out of place. But she doesn't cry. I lean against the door frame and watch as the nurse rolls the stretcher into the ward, stopping to lock the door, and Samantha rac

    SAMANTHA'S POVSo now I have to leave with a man. Cheers to not being a whore. But it changes nothing, I won't have casual sex and I certainly won't loose my virginity to an arrogant man who I'm pretty has no plans of settling down.Sex. Sex. Sex. What are we talking about? West never said he wanted to have sex with me.I relax and take my seat. Now that is done, I have to tell her about the elite event which is tomorrow. "Samantha, tomorrow you will be my date to an elite event."What? "I'm not going with you to any event tomorrow." I focus on the meal in front of me. My poor background has affected my eating routine and now I think I may have an eating disorder."Why?" West drops his cutlery and leans back into his chair, crossing his right leg over the left, obviously enjoying our banter more than the meal."Because..." I look around trying to come up with a lie. "Uhm...I have to take care of my mother.""The nurses will take care of her, besides they won't let you see your mom un

    SAMANTHA'S POV"The red.""What?" I turn around to look at West who is standing too close to me and making it difficult...impossible to breathe."The red dress. Red fits your skin tone better." He moves forward, pressing his weight on me as he removes the red dress from the stall and throws it on the trolley. He attempts to hold the handle of the trolley and roll it for me, like a 'gentleman' I don't move out, so instead, West places his left palm over my left hand that is resting on the trolley's handle and places his other hand over mine as well, imprisoning me between the trolley and his hard body. "Let's move." He starts rolling to the next section."Stop. Let me move out." I struggle.He ignores me but stops to fill the trolley with more luxurious dinner wears, corporate outfits, demin short, crop tops, dresses, shoes... "I thought this shopping was just for the elite event, I possibly can't wear all these dresses in one day.""You never know, you may actually want to go out wit

    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

    SAMANTHA'S POV "Come on, wear something hot." Alice tugs at my arm."Are you crazy? I'm a married woman.""You are not yet a married woman; it's still tomorrow. 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.

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
