S2-Chapter 62

Author: Maria Anita
Henry’s POV

I couldn't believe it. It was the first time in many days that I had any sign Samantha would forgive me. When I entered that elevator and opened the card, I wanted to run out and kiss her, but the door was already closing.

Samantha had written "make me believe," and I didn't need anything more to have hope and know that I still had a chance to win her back. There were only three words there, but they said much more than it seemed.

I went to a meeting that I couldn't postpone and returned to Group Miller as quickly as I could, but first, I stopped at the mall to buy some things.

At the candy store, I asked the clerk to help arrange the box. She placed the twelve red rose buds, and between the stems, she put the bottle of Amarula liqueur, surrounding it with several strawberry chocolates. She closed the box and artistically tied it with a red ribbon. I attached a card on top that read, "I'll do whatever I can to show you I can be the man of your life."

    Samantha’s POVHenry pulled me into that house, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a beautiful and huge house, but what took my breath away was what was inside. There wasn't any furniture, but there were countless red roses, candle-shaped lights, and heart-shaped balloons on the ceiling.In the center of the living room, there were plush carpets in light shades and many colorful cushions in vibrant tones and various sizes, and a table with strawberries, chocolates, and wine on ice. Henry was recreating one of our best nights. He was over-the-top, cliché, and dramatic, but this time he had taken things to a whole new level."Whose house is this?" I turned to him, still amazed by everything."It's our house," Henry moved closer."I don't think I understand." I was completely perplexed by what I was seeing, so much that my brain seemed frozen."Sam, I bought this house about five years ago, before Alexander's parents died. My friends lived here, and I thought about staying close. But

    Henry’s POVSamantha and I stayed in each other's arms for a long time. I got lost in memories. Memories that I wanted to bury deep down and didn't want to share with anyone. Feeling her there, hugging me, supporting me, was somehow a balm for all those open wounds.When we pulled apart, I looked into her eyes, convinced that if it wasn't her, no one else would stay in my life, be by my side, help me leave behind all the pain my father had caused in the past."Come back to me, Sam, forever," I whispered."Henry..." she sighed. "Did you go to that horse ranch with her after I caught you two together?""Yes." I didn't want to talk about this, but I had to be honest with her."And why did you go?""Because she sent me a voice message crying, saying her life was over and she wanted to die, and if I didn't meet her, she would kill herself. I can show you the message.""I don't want to see it." Samantha turned forward and crossed her arms, clearly in a defensive position."Sam, I don't like

    Samantha’s POVAfter Henry left, I lay in my bed thinking. Maybe I should forgive him, and there wouldn't be anything more symbolic than doing it at Catherine and Alexander's wedding.My phone beeped on the nightstand. I picked it up and was shocked by what I saw. I had received a message from an unknown number, and when I opened it, there was a photo of Henry wrapped around that whore. He was wearing the same clothes I saw him leave my house in, so that photo was from today. Looking closely, it was taken in the Social Club parking lot. God, I was furious!That jerk had lied to me! I would kill him! How could he be so shameless? But you know what? I wasn't going to cry anymore. I was done! I went to the kitchen and made some tea. Then I went back to bed and fell asleep.The next morning, I woke up early, got ready, gathered my things, called a taxi, and went to Catherine's house. And, of course, I turned off my phone! It wasn't long before Melissa's phone rang."What do you want, man-w

    Samantha’s POVHeidi looked at me with the same green eyes her children had. But she conveyed a kindness that even calmed me down."You already know that my ex-husband is worth less than nothing, right?" Heidi began."Oh, Heidi, how could such a good person like you stay married to that pig for so long?""Well, dear, those were different times. My marriage to Reynold was a business arrangement. I was the only daughter of a sexist millionaire who thought marrying me off to his best friend's son was the best thing to do," she started telling me. "My father always knew about Reynold's unfaithful behavior towards me, but he would tell me that's just how men are, and threatened that if I left him, I wouldn't have any support, I'd end up on the street and lose my children. So I endured it.""Until he ran off with another woman," I added."Yes! By then, my father already had Alzheimer's, and I was legally responsible for him and his entire fortune. When my father got sick, I refused to give R

    Henry’s POVI wanted to rip Patrick's head off for taking me away from Samantha. But he had discovered why she was upset with me."Henry, Sam knows," Patrick said as soon as we entered Alexander's home library."Knows what?" I asked, not understanding."About yesterday. That you met Isabella at the Social Club," Patrick explained."What do you mean?" I was confused. I had mentioned to the guys about the mess with Isabella when I arrived at Patrick's house for poker, before going there."It was a setup, man. Isabella planned it and you fell for it. Vanessa took a photo of Isabella hanging all over you and sent it to Sam," Patrick explained, and then everything made sense."How did you find out?" I asked."Because Virginia is freaking out at me, saying if she catches me with Vanessa, she'll cut my balls off! I didn't understand anything, so I pressed her and she told me. But she said Melissa calmed Sam down and will investigate." Patrick was restless. "Man, I'm afraid Vanessa might set m

I would have the whole day by her side and I was excited about that.I went to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast. I was just finishing making the omelet when I felt her arms around my body and her lips planting a kiss on my back. It was delightful to be surprised like that. I flipped the omelet onto the plate and turned to face her as she stood on her tiptoes to kiss me."Mmm..." I moaned with pleasure when we broke our kiss. "I think this house is magical!""I think so too!" Samantha smiled. "I love this place.""Then I was right, this is where we'll build our home." I said between the kisses I was placing on her neck. "When do you want to start decorating?""Decorating?" Samantha let out a hearty laugh. "I haven't forgiven you yet.""But you will, it's just a matter of time and me begging a little more," I said, smiling confidently at her. "Meanwhile, you can decorate our house. It

At Henry's, I worked in sales and it was good, but I was getting tired of selling, so taking on this role here was fantastic because I wasn't just a secretary, I had more duties."Little Key, I like seeing your dedication.

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

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."

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 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.

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.
