Chapter Five: Hot Uncle
Samantha's POV
I smiled broadly as I bit my lower lips to stop myself from giggling. I can't believe I just made him agree. Well, that's me, Samantha, the girl who can get whatever I want. Diego is no exemption. That handsome, hot uncle.
I set our meeting today. I just wore my simple yet elegant dress to impress him even more. Well, little did I know that he's already impressed. He's just hiding it. He’s good at masking his true emotions.
Who would not? I could easily get what I wanted. I am waiting for him in this restaurant, and he is two minutes late now. I just hate it when people make me wait. But since it's him, I'll consider it.
I tapped the table while waiting for him patiently. He didn't want to meet us today, but of course, I pulled some strings. And he couldn’t say no. But damn, waiting makes me feel eternity. I frowned as I looked around.
“Where the hell is he?” I murmured to myself. I zipped my coffee while staring outside the restaurant. My phone buzzed, and when I checked it, I received a message from Zayn.
“I'll be there in a minute.” I guess I won’t wait any longer. A smile formed on my lips. We have a lot of things to discuss right now.
Three minutes had passed, and I saw him getting out of his expensive car. He even caught others' attention because of his attractive appearance. Some had their mouths half opened while staring at him.
I stood up to walk towards him with a smile on my face. I hate it when girls stare at him like that.
“Hi! You made me wait,” I pouted, then I turned to those girls looking at him with my furrowed eyebrows. I heard him sigh. I even intentionally placed my head on his shoulder to show them that Diego was already my property.
They rolled their eyes, but I didn't care. Droll whenever they want.
“What do you want us to talk about?” he asked while he was looking at me. I smiled at him sweetly.
“About the wedding,” I told him. I could see that he was confused.
“Since you agreed, I'll be introducing you to my parents. You must make them agree to the wedding, but don't worry, I'll help you.” I winked at him.
He rested his back on the chair while he was staring at me with deep thoughts. I wonder what he is thinking right now. He’s probably cursing me inside his head. I giggled at the thought.
“When?” He asked. He was impatient while looking at his watch. He just arrived, and it looks like he wants to leave already.
“Thank God, you already utter a word. I thought I would be the only one talking here until this meetup was done.” I rolled my eyes. Isn't it hard to deal with this Oldie?
“Listen, Zayn. I don't want to waste my precious time. Tomorrow in the evening, you’ll meet them. So, you still have time to prepare.” I saw his brow furrowed, but I didn’t stop talking. “And don't worry about my parents. They are easy to deal with.” Well, except my mon. I smiled at him. He only nodded. Though I'm nervous about my parents' reaction.
I know they will be shocked. But I must convince them first. I'm terrified about Mom's reaction. I know he will go mad later.
This guy's silence is making me a little bit irritated. He's not even asking about our situation. I wonder if he's bored or what. Did he have anything to say?
“Is that all? I still have a lot of things to do,” he and he didn't even touch the coffee I ordered him. It’s already cold. But he was a lot colder.
“I'm not done yet, Oldie.” I glared at him. He also glared at me because of the way I called him. He doesn't look old to me, but I just want to tease him.
“Here's the deal: this will be our setup. First, you'll have to marry me for six months. After that, you can divorce me all you want,” I told him, which made his forehead furrowed in confusion.
He was about to speak, but I widened my eyes to stop him, “You're not allowed to talk while I'm still talking,” I warned. He rolled his eyes.
“Whatever,” I heard him murmuring, but I didn't care.
“Second, we must act as lovers in public places. I want you to be as sweet as possible.” I told him and chuckled while thinking how he would do that.
“We must convince everyone that we are a couple. You have to date me, give me flowers, and shower me with sweet words.” I watched his face while suppressing my laughter. Damn, I wanted to laugh because of his reaction.
“Especially my parents. We must convince them. In that case, I will be living with you,” I said with a broad smile. Well, I've been waiting for this day to tell him.
“After the wedding,” he said but I shook my head. I want to live with him right now.
“Nope, after you get my mom's permission,” I told him. He leaned back on his chair while looking at me. He pressed his lips tightly.
“Fine, you can be my maid,” he said which made my eyes widened. He said what?
“What? With this face of mine? This kind of beauty is rare you know. You would make it as your maid?! That's ridiculous” I said in disbelief. He stood up to cover my mouth. That was loud I know. But his maid? I’d rather die.
“Lower your voice, Lady, we're in a public place,” he said, reminding me, but I don't care. I held his hand and removed it from my mouth.
“I don't even know how to cook. Why would I be your maid? I am your wife,” I told him which made him hold his forehead.
“Fine, I won't make you. Just lower your voice,” he said firmly. I even acted by zipping my mouth in front of him.
“Okay, okay. And lastly, you will act as my husband, and I will act as your wife. As simple as that,” I said, and he looked at me with no other choice.
“What do you think?” asked him. He seemed to be thinking about the deal.
“Fine, six months. I'll be at your house tomorrow evening.” He said which made me smile broadly.
“Great! I thought it would be hard to talk to you.” I extended my hand in front of him. I want to seal the deal. He stood up and grabbed my hand.
“Six months, woman. Only six months,” he clarified.
Chapter Six: She's Mad Samantha's POV I bit my lower lips while looking at my mother worriedly. I know this will happen. “What?! You're still studying Sam!” My mother's voice echoed in my ears. She's screaming angrily. Damn, she's overreacting for real. I just told her that my boyfriend will come here tonight. And she was like, What?! You're too young for that! I secretly rolled my eyes. She was younger than me when she got pregnant. . “Mom, I'm already mature. Besides, he's handsome and freaking rich. “ I told her, trying to convince her. There's no way I wouldn't convince her right now. “We're rich too. Sam. Boyfriend? There's no way on earth I will let you bring that man here.” She objected to my decision. “But Mom, he's matured. Believe me, if I say so," I said and placed the pillow on my lap. I grabbed the chocolate and started eating it. She looked at me with wide eyes. “Sam, I told you. You're not allowed to have a boyfriend," she said, but I shook my head. Her
Chapter 7: Meeting the In-Laws Samantha's POVMy hands were sweating as I looked at my dad nervously. My father was staring at me. Damn! He looks like he's ready to throw me out of the house.“Did I hear your mother right?” he asked in his serious voice. I slowly nodded at him and lowered my head. For sure, I will hear another preaching from him.“Dad, Mom, what can I do? I love him,” I said. Dad let out a heavy sigh as he looked at me.They were both discussing it in Dad's office when he got home. I could barely hear them arguing earlier.“What time will he come?” Dad asked. I looked at him and bit my lips to stop myself from smiling.“Tonight. He will be joining us for dinner,” I told Dad. He nodded at me and looked at Mom, but she just furrowed her eyebrows.“That's all, Philip? You're not going to talk to her about the mess she made?” Mom said incredulously. She was like pushing Dad to talk to me. Damn, I don't want to hear any more words.“Sam, I hope you know what you're doing,
Chapter 8: Moving In Samantha's POV “Are you sure about this?” Mom asked me while she was sitting on my bed. I glanced at her while I was busy packing my things. “Mom, I know things went so fast. But I'm grown up now. I'm not a baby anymore,” I told her. I sat beside her. She fixed the strands of my hair. “I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just that- I love you. It's hard to see you packing your things and living under another roof,” she said. I understand her; they treated us like princesses. “Mom, I'm not going to another planet. I'm just a little bit far from you and Dad, but I'll be visiting you always.” I chuckled. She sighed. “Just come back here if things don't go well, okay? The door is always open for you.” I nodded at her and continued fixing my stuff. “Isn’t he handsome?” I asked her while smiling broadly, thinking about Diego. “Yes, but-” The door opened, and it was Dad and Diego. I was also done packing my things. “Are you done?” he asked me with his sweet voice
Chapter 9: Wedding Preparations Samantha's POV“What do you think about this?” I asked him, showing him the wedding ring. He was just looking at it when I kicked his feet under the table. He glared at me, but I furrowed my eyebrows.“Ma'am, we only have one pair of rings. It's actually a perfect fit for you,” the sales lady said. I found it cute; I don't care if it's expensive.“This one, I want this,” I showed him my ring finger excitedly. I intentionally pouted. He just nodded.“Aren't you happy?” I acted like I was crying while wiping the side of my eyes. It made him hold my hand immediately.“Of course, it's perfect. Sorry about my fiancée,” he told the sales lady. She chuckled while looking at us. I placed my hand on his chest.“You two really look good together. Wishing you a successful wedding, Ma'am and Sir,” she said. I gave her back the wedding ring. I glanced at Diego. He was smiling at the sales lady, but when he glanced at me, he glared.What the?The sales lady stood up
Chapter 10: Learning To CookSamantha's POVI felt satisfied leaving that wedding gown boutique yesterday. I couldn't stop snickering while thinking about Tiffany's face.I still couldn't forget their betrayal—how I treated that bitch like my own flesh, only for her to use me to get closer to that cheater, Andrew. It's been days since that happened, but when I see their faces, it's like it only happened yesterday.“When will we meet again?” I asked myself while sitting on Diego's swivel chair. I could see the shock on their faces. Well, it's not bad, thanks to him playing along.I stood up when my tummy growled. I'm hungry. I woke up, and he was already out. I hadn't eaten breakfast, so I decided to go to the kitchen to look for food.“Seriously? Vegetables?” I couldn't believe it. I'm not picky, but I am not a fan of vegetables, especially when I'm not in the mood.I just grabbed the egg and bacon from the fridge. I suddenly stopped when I remembered I actually didn't know how to coo
Chapter 11: Entangled FatesDiego’s POVI was too drunk at that time. Damn it. I just really thought that Sam was Jasmine. I was in the middle of drinking that night in the bar when someone suddenly entered. She was wearing the same dress that Jasmine had.A very talkative woman. I wasn't expecting that I would do such things. It had been a year since I last did that. I was drowned by pleasure and lust.I thought she was Jasmine. All I could think about that night in the darkroom was her. But it was not Jasmine. I was too drunk that night to realize she was in pain. When I did that thing, I knew it was not her. It was another woman.I was so stupid to continue. I was so lost. I just committed mistakes.That morning, when I woke up in an unfamiliar room, she had already left, but her bloodstains were still there, symbolizing that I was the one who took her purity.I thought it would be only a one-night
Chapter 12: Dinner Talk Samantha's POV We're having dinner tonight. I was the one who insisted on eating in a restaurant since Diego, the Oldie, had no plan of taking me out. He’s not even asking me what I want to eat or where I want to go. He’s not asking if I’m hungry or if I want him to order food for me. No! He's just, "Alright. Yes. Stop talking." I rolled my eyes. When will he speak more? I’ll throw a party if that happens. I will invite all our relatives. I don’t want my night to be silent. I cleared my throat and then drank my champagne. Should I tease him? I really like it when his forehead is knotted. “Oldie—I mean, Zayn—are you getting bored with life?” I asked him. He stopped eating and looked at me. I can't bear sitting here without talking. I mean, I’m not talkative; I just want to express my ideas and opinions and discuss things that will help me or others. Well, it’s better to be expressive than se
Chapter 13: Ex's Reckoning Samantha's POV Diego went to a business meeting this morning, but before that, he still cooked breakfast. I offered to cook, but he didn't let me. “What should I do?” I asked myself. It’s getting boring. I’m all alone in his condominium. I thought of doing something. Maybe I could go shopping in the meantime? I sighed before getting to the shower room. After that, I just wore my bluish dress. It’s simple and not that revealing. Should I call Jorge, our driver, to pick me up? Or should I just call a taxi? I sighed; maybe I have no choice. I’m not living with my parents now. I just got into a taxi. I haven’t told Zayn that I’m leaving. He doesn’t care, by the way. The car parked, and I immediately swiped my card. I entered the mall and started looking for something I could buy. I went to the dress store when something caught my attention. I’ve always been here, but I h
