S2-Chapter 20

Penulis: Maria Anita
Henry's POV

"So, Alexander, what's this brilliant idea that got me out of bed before six in the morning?" I asked when I met the guys on Monday at a café near Alexander's company.

"We're sending flowers to our women, my friend, lots of flowers!" Alexander smiled.

"That's a good idea. Melissa's being impossible," Fred commented.

"What kind of flowers?" Rick asked.

"Everyone picks their own, but it has to be an arrangement that shows them how crazy we are about them," Patrick said with that silly grin on his face.

We finished our coffee and went to the 24-hour flower shop. When we arrived, the florist showed us various arrangements on her computer that she could make. But Patrick, being Patrick, spotted a massive arrangement in the corner of the shop and called our attention to it.

"That's the one!" Patrick pointed, making even the florist laugh.

It was a huge arrangement of pink flowers in a tall crystal vase. That thing must have been three feet in circumference. It was way too big.

    Henry's POVAt the usual time, I was waiting outside the store for Samantha to come out so we could grab coffee. She looked stunning in tailored lilac pants, a white silk blouse, and high heels. She had styled her hair in a low bun with two strands framing her face."Hey Henry! Playing smart again? Did your mom stop praying for you?" Samantha said as soon as she left the store."What are you talking about, my goddess?" I knew very well it was about the collective flower attack, but I thought it better to play dumb.Samantha greeted me with a kiss on the cheek, and we started walking toward the café."Of course you know what I'm talking about. Do the super friends only do things together now? If one doesn't do it, the other won't either?""Sam, didn't you like the flowers?""I loved the flowers, Henry, but it seems they were sent with a hidden agenda. Mel's right, it looks like you guys are trying to manipulate us.""It's nothing like that, my goddess." I stopped and faced her. "We just

    Henry's POVI arrived at the mall a few minutes before Sam's shift ended. I waited outside the store, keeping my distance. I noticed a guy hovering nearby, closer to the store entrance, and assumed he was one of the other girls' boyfriend.Samantha came out of the store with a beautiful smile for me, but I watched it fade when the guy grabbed her arm and said something to her. She looked scared, so I approached them."Is there a problem here?" I said, standing beside Samantha."None of your business, rich boy! I'm talking to my girlfriend," the guy snapped, and I looked at Samantha, who appeared frightened."Let go of me, Romulus, you're nothing to me," Samantha pulled her arm, but he wouldn't release her."Well, Romulus, you heard MY GIRLFRIEND!" I emphasized 'my' loudly. "Let her go now, or you'll have a serious problem.""So it's true? You're spreading your legs for this rich boy, Samantha? Became a high-class whore?" That scumbag said, looking at me. I stepped in front of Samantha

    "Samantha""What is it, Sam?" Henry asked when I hung up the phone."Romulus..." I was shaking."Who's Romulus, Sam?" Henry looked at me confused."My ex. He's inside with my mom." I started crying. "I have to go in.""The one from the mall?" I nodded. "Your mom let him in? Even knowing he's stalking you?" Henry asked, and I could tell he was already getting angry."No, my mom definitely didn't let him in, but I don't know how he got in." I didn't have the answers and felt lost."Sam, what did your mom say?" Henry asked, trying to understand the situation."That Romulus is waiting for me. That's all. Henry, I don't know how he got in and I don't know what's happening in there. My mom is alone with him." I was starting to get agitated."Calm down." I was still in Henry's lap and he hugged me. "Let's call the police first, and then I'll go in with you. I imagine since you have a restraining order, they'll come faster."I got off Henry's lap and he called the police. When we reached the g

    Samantha's POVAfter hours at the police station, we were finally released, and Henry drove us home. Romulus remained in custody, but the detective informed us that being a first-time offender, among other factors, worked in his favor, and he probably wouldn't stay locked up for long. That news discouraged me."Mrs. Perla, I deeply regret meeting you under these circumstances," Henry said to my mother at our front gate."Me too, dear. But thank you for supporting Sam," my mother expressed her gratitude. "Would you like to come in?""No, thank you, you both need to rest. But let's plan a dinner when you return from your trip. I'd like to formally introduce myself," Henry flashed a beautiful smile at my mother."That sounds wonderful," my mother shook his hand and went inside."Sam, how are you?" Henry asked while examining my face."I'm okay. Thank God everything worked out. At least for now, I can breathe easy," I sighed."Go get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow," Henry brushed his thu

    Henry's POVI was eager to see Samantha. Today she would come to my house after leaving the mall - finally, she would be mine! I had prepared a surprise for her at home, a very romantic evening.By late afternoon, I was already restless in the office and decided to grab a coffee and take a walk around the building to try to distract myself. I accidentally overheard Melissa arranging with Catherine to go to the mall to check out some dresses that Sam had mentioned when I was leaving my office.I immediately got excited about an idea. I went back to my desk and called the guys, all of them, one by one, because if one girl was going to the mall, I was sure all the others would go too.We arranged to meet there. We arrived early and stayed at the café near Samantha's store, where we could see the girls entering the mall. As soon as they arrived, we went to the store and watched them go into the fitting rooms, only then did we enter the store and sit down in front of the fitting rooms.Sama

    Samantha's POVI definitely wasn't expecting that! Henry had just assured me he was mine, and then this girl shows up and throws herself at him. I recognized her - she was the same one who was all over him at the Social Club, but right then I wanted to scratch his eyes out and rip her chest off!We left the mall, and I called Manu, who said she'd love to have me over. Melissa dropped me off at her place, insisting I could stay with her and Catherine, but I chose to stay with Manu since Catherine already had enough problems, and I didn't want to pile mine on top of hers.I arrived and talked with Manu until late, and she advised me not to make things easy for Henry."Sam, you're too amazing to settle for anything less than an incredible guy, okay?" Manu said when she wished me good night. "It's good that you're off tomorrow. When I get back from work, we can do something together.""It's a deal, dear Manu!"The next day, I told my mom I'd preferred to go to Manu's house. She insisted on

    Henry's POVI was going crazy with the cold shoulder Samantha was giving me. To make matters worse, Enzo called wanting to know what I'd done wrong because he ran into her at the mall and she told him we weren't together anymore. As if! I wasn't going to accept that so easily.At least she was going to work with Alexander, which would give me an advantage since I could see her when I visited his company. However, his and Patrick's situation wasn't any better than mine.Then there was that ridiculous lunch with the girls and Virginia's brother's friends - thank goodness Sam wasn't there. They were openly hitting on our women, and the girls were playing along with it.On Friday, we planned a game night at Patrick's place. I thought it would be great to meet up with the guys and chat a bit. Since meeting Sam, I'd lost interest in other women. She was all I could think about. Now, because of a misunderstanding, she'd sent me straight to hell. I was surprised when I arrived and saw Fred and

    Henry's POVI was nervous, very nervous when I walked into my house with Samantha,. Women don't usually make me nervous, but Samantha is different. She makes me feel like a boy who doesn't know what to do and is desperate for attention."Your house is beautiful!" Samantha's eyes scanned the place after I turned on the lights."Thank you! I had prepared everything to have you over on Tuesday, but then you got mad at me." I gave her my best puppy dog face. "And today I haven't prepared anything special, but I really want you to listen to me and understand that what happened at the mall means nothing.""Explain it to me, Henry. Because I saw how familiar that little tramp was with you. She threw herself at you. She kissed you. And you let her.""I didn't let her. I was just stunned." I sighed in frustration. "Look, how about we have this conversation sitting down with a good wine? I'll explain everything you want to know."Samantha sized me up before agreeing. I left her sitting on the co

    Samantha’s POVI saw Henry get out of bed, pick up the phone from the floor, and try to speak, but the call had already ended. He came to me and hugged me."Sam, what did you hear?" Henry asked softly."H-he, he laughed." I was trembling and crying."Who, Sam? Do you know who it was?""It was R-Romulus." I looked at him feeling panic tightening my throat."Sam, what did he say?" I noticed the concern in Henry's voice."Nothing. It was like always, the breathing, but then he laughed and I know his laugh. It's Romulus, Henry.""Calm down. I'm going to turn off your phone. Tomorrow I'll tell Flavian about this. Sam, I think we should change your number.""Yeah, you're right, that's better." I agreed, as I didn't want to hear from Romulus anymore."Good, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow. Now, I'm going to put you to bed and make you some tea."Henry tucked me into bed, covered me, and gave me a kiss on the forehead. When he returned to the bedroom, he brought a tray with tea and b

    Samantha’s POV"My goddess, I'm so glad you're here! I've been missing you like crazy," Henry said between kisses."I missed you too!" I nestled into his lap."How was your girls' night?""It was fantastic! We're planning to spend a weekend at Hebe's beach house.""We're going... just you girls or...?""All of us, handsome. I'm not spending the whole weekend away from you.""Hmm, I like that! So, are we getting married this weekend?""It's in a month, Henry.""Alright. But until then, how about we practice for the honeymoon?" Henry traced his nose along my neck. "I'm desperately missing losing myself in you.""Are you reading my mind?" He smiled."Come here, future wife. I'm taking you to bed." He helped me up and looked at Cinnamon. "Buddy, you're staying downstairs tonight." The dog looked at him as if he understood and let out a whimper. The scene made me laugh."I need to take a shower," I said when we reached the bedroom."Ah yes, a shower is an excellent idea." Henry sat me on th

    Samantha’s POVThe weekend at my grandmother's house was more than perfect. I wasn't expecting Henry to propose, and he made the most beautiful proposal in the world. I confessed I was never the type of woman who dreamed about marriage, wedding dresses, and all those things, but now that I'm engaged, I was excited and eager."Oh my God, I'm engaged!" I said to myself in the closet, looking at the ring and band on my hand."Yes, Nightingale, we're engaged, and I want to set a date for our wedding." Henry hugged me from behind, making me lean back against his chest as he kissed the top of my head.I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed him coming in. He was ready for work, looking handsome in that charcoal suit that made his emerald green eyes stand out even more. I was so distracted that I was still in my robe."My handsome, how about a month from now?""Too far away," he complained, kissing my neck."I don't want to rush into things like what happened with Catherine.

I gave precise instructions - one dog, just one small dog - then I came back from a wonderful trip and got my kids back with two dogs, and Clara's dog was almost as big as her. I felt like sending both the dogs and the kids back to his house.Of course, he had a ready-made speech when I called him furiously questioning the two dogs. The worst part is that he convinced me - he always did, ever since we were kids it was like that, I did everything he wanted. However, my kids were two little troublemakers and I knew it. They were two little rascals who manipulated their uncle however they wanted, and inevitably, I felt manipulated by extension, because after Henry gave in to their wishes, he made me give in to his own desire to please his niece and nephew.I had no choice but to take the little troublemakers back with two dogs. To my surprise, the small one

I asked Enzo to help with the plans I'd made with Pearl and Joaquin for Samantha's surprise. We would set up the dinner table in the backyard, which was full of flowers and beautifully maintained.The hours flew by, and we managed to get everything ready. Pearl told me that when Sam was a child, she used to play a lot in this backyard and always loved it here, so it was perfect for what I wanted to do.I talked with Elenice, since I was in her house, and she became emotional about what I wanted to do. She secretly called me to her room and gave me something very special to add to my surprise. Her gesture touched me deeply.That evening, dinner was served in the backyard. Elenice had two housekeepers who had put great effort into everything, and they were excellent cooks. We had dinner amid lively conversation and laughter. Then, before dessert, I pr

    Henry’s POVAfter what happened at the mall with Enzo, I scheduled a meeting with my mother and Hebe. I needed to let them both know about the situation before traveling. Of course, Hebe was furious - she's a lioness mother, and after discovering Reynold's true colors, she didn't want him anywhere near the children.I took the opportunity to tell them about the surprise I was preparing for Samantha. I was anxious and worried. My mother and Hebe tried to calm me down, saying that Sam would love it.The rest of the week flew by, and early Saturday morning, we traveled to Sam's grandmother's house in the countryside, a bit far from our city. Samantha was excited and very animated. We arrived at her grandmother's house at lunchtime.

Besides, your parents are taking you to the farm. I'm just going to meet aunt Sam's grandmother and I'll be back quickly," I explained to Luna once again."Oh my god, you two are so mushy!" Ivy made a face at us."That's because we're in love, sis," Luna told her sister."Oh, sure!" Ivy smiled.We were at the mall waiting for aunt Sam and uncle Henry. I invited Luna to come with me since we wouldn't see each other over the weekend, and Ivy tagged along because she wanted to talk to aunt Sam."Ivy, what do you want to talk to aunt Sam about?" I was curious about that."I'm not telling you. I know your big mouth, Enzo!" As if I needed this - my Clara also pointing out my little flaws.

Reynold had crossed the line, and I wasn't going to let that slide.I called Flavian, who suggested that Sam should file a complaint, but she was very shaken up, barely slept, and insisted on going to work, making me even more worried.I arrived at the office in a terrible mood. I needed to deal with this thorn in my side that was Reynold. Once again, he dared to lay hands on Samantha, but this wouldn't go unpunished.My thoughts were completely focused on Samantha, and I was already too stressed and worried. I grabbed my jacket and left the office.I reached the garage, and as I approached my car, I couldn't believe the nerve of the person waiting for me.

    Samantha’s POVFor the past week, I was woken up every night in the middle of the night by my phone ringing, and when I answered, no one would say anything on the other end. The only thing I could hear was heavy breathing, as if the person on the other end was panting, and it left me distressed.This was getting on my nerves. I was anxious, nervous, and wasn't sleeping well. I already had horrible dark circles under my eyes and was exhausted."Sam... Sam!" Henry's voice snapped me out of my thoughts."Huh?! What is it, honey?" I sighed."Sam, you need to sleep." Henry was visibly upset. "We should change your phone number.""That's not necessary. This will stop." I didn't want to change the number I'd had for so long."Then start turning off your phone at night. If anyone needs to reach you, they can call me.""That's a good idea. I'll do that. But now, I need to get to work." I stood up as I spoke."Stay home today and rest. I'm sure Alexander won't mind.""Henry, I want to go to work
