Chapter Four: Show
Samantha's POV
I was like a freaking crazy while staring at his picture. He is filthy rich and indeed handsome.
“You seemed so happy,” Nita said while she was serving me coffee. I couldn't stop but smile while biting my finger.
“Do you find this attractive, Nita?” I asked her while showing her Diego’s half-naked photo. Her eyes widened when she saw it. I laughed at her reaction.
“Ma'am Sam, where did you get that picture? That's inappropriate. But yes, he's handsome,” she said, but I shook my head. It's actually yummy. I mean, he's damn hot and spicy.
I smiled broadly. I've been waiting for his message. It's Harold, the one I met in Diego's company. After I left his company, I made sure to get his secretary’s assistant’s number.
I just used my charm to get what I wanted. He's actually easy to fool. I will not miss the chance to stalk Diego. He'll be mine, after all.
“Miss Sam, he's going for a jog,” he sent a message. Through Harold, I can easily find out where Diego Zayn Presley is. It's just a name, but it's actually very interesting.
“Nita, tell Jorge to send me to this place right now. I'll be going for a jogging,” I told her and stood up.
“But ma'am. You've never done that before,'' she said, which made me roll my eyes. Jogging is not my thing, but since Zayn loves to do it, I think I'll get used to it.
“Just do it, Nita,” I told her before going to my room to change my clothes. After that, Jorge sent me to the place where I waited for him.
When I saw him approaching, I started jogging. I thought he saw me, but he was looking somewhere else. I pouted when he passed by. That's why I jog after him.
“Zayn,” I called him. He’s not responding. He's like running, and it's hard to jog with him. I hoped I would be blessed with those long legs, too.
I held his shirt, which made him notice me. I waved my hand, but his forehead knotted, and there I realized that he was wearing an earbud when he removed it.
“You again?” He seemed disappointed. I furrowed my eyebrows. Does he not feel threatened by what I told him in his company? This guy is unbelievable. He should be proud that he's the one who gets my purity.
“Yup, and I just want to remind you about something,” I pointed to his chest while looking at him. I bit my lips and fixed the strand of my hair. I like how he looks right now. He's freaking wet. I could even see the masculine body that he hid from those clothes.
But anyway, I’m not only here about those things; I also want to claim him. Damn, Sam! He should be attracted to me right now. Is there something wrong with my charms?
“About what?” he asked, uninterested. My jaw dropped. Really? He doesn't find me cute or beautiful. I even wore this jogging outfit for him.
“You need to be responsible for getting my virginity!” I said in a mad voice, he's making me feel irritated. He then suddenly covered my mouth and looked around. Hmm, I love his perfume. I feel addicted to it. I kept smelling him when he removed his hand from my mouth.
“Lower your voice. There are people around us,” he said, which made me look at them. We're actually here in the park right now, and a lot of people came here this morning.
A brilliant idea came to me. What great timing. I stared at him, trying to concentrate. I pretended as if I was hurt. But to be honest, I really wanted to laugh so loudly.
“What's wrong?” he asked me, sounding so worried. I sobbed like he was oppressing me. I bit my lower lips and looked at him with pleading eyes.
“What happened to her?”
Why is she crying?”
“Gosh, I can't believe another girl would cry with a jerk, but he's damn handsome.”
“Did he hurt her?”
They started to murmur, which is what I am aiming for. Just keep doing it, guys. When I glanced at them, they kept on looking at Diego, which made him uncomfortable.
“What's wrong? Tell me. You're just okay earlier,” he said in panic. He even touched my hand. I like those soft hands.
“Hmm, I love you, Zayn. Why can't you love me?!” I cried so loudly. He looked at me confused. I bit my lower lips to stop myself from laughing. Damn, his reaction is so funny.
“What? Stop this woman,” he uttered, which made me cry even more. The crowds started to get worried about me while throwing sharp looks at Diego.
“You're calling me baby in bed but you're treating me like no one in public. Please love me, Diego,” I told him and held his hand.
“Oh my gosh, he has the guts to make a girl cry like that. He's heartless”
“Does he have a conscience?”
They said while looking at us. Oh, I love those judgmental eyes.
“Stop this now,” he said firmly, but I shook my head. I intentionally hit him on the shoulder while crying. I like those hard biceps. This guy always seemed to be in the gym.
“Let's talk privately, woman,” he whispered as he held my wrist. I was about to walk, but I stood still. I pouted while looking at him, trying to make myself cuter.
“No! I won't stop. You took my virginity! You should take responsibility for me.” I told him the crowd gasped while his jaw dropped because of what I had said.
I cried even more and kicked the floor. I held his shirt like a kid, and he still couldn't believe that I had said those words in public.
“Oh my gosh! He did that to a kid?”
“I couldn't believe what I just heard.”
“Why is he letting that girl cry like she's pitiful?”
“Hey! You should take responsibility for what you did,” the old granny shouted at him.
I heard him sigh, and he glared at me.
“What? I just want you to take responsibility for what we did that might happen when we have-” I was about to utter what we did, but he suddenly covered my mouth.
“Damn it,” I heard him murmuring.
“Just agree,” I whispered, which made him look at me.
“We enjoyed that night you even-” I acted like I was about to tell the public what we did when he covered my mouth again. I know he won't let me.
“Fine, I'll take responsibility for you.” he surrendered. My tears immediately stopped because of what I heard. I hugged him tightly. But I couldn't feel his arm on my waist.
“Why are you not hugging me?” I said in my cute little voice, which made him hug me immediately.
“Let's get out of here,” he said, which made me nod. I didn't move. He furrowed his eyebrows. I pouted at him.
“You should carry me. I'm so tired, and I have no strength to walk anymore,” I told him. He was about to disagree when I started crying again.
He then carried me in a bridal style. I looked at the crowds concerned. I winked at them and smiled, which confused them.
Thanks for the help. This is so good. I just realized Diego Zayn Presley is actually Andrew’s relative. He was his uncle, the youngest son of the Presley couple. I was aiming to hit three birds with one stone.
After marrying Zayn, I’ll be Andrew’s aunt. What a sweet revenge. I can already imagine how pathetic he will look.
Chapter Five: Hot UncleSamantha's POVI 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
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
Epilogue Diego's POV I smiled while staring at my wife. She's really gorgeous. It's funny how I ended up with her—this silly girl who brought color to my life. The girl who is always irritating me, messing with me. I love her so much. I love her more than myself. I'm willing to give everything for her. I knew from the very beginning that she was just playing, the way she teased me, stared at me, and forced me to do things. How she tried to seduce me was just part of the contract. I remember how she forced me to marry her at the park. I thought she was just having fun that day, but I was wrong. She's the only woman who has ever done all those things to me. As the days passed, I started to fall for her silliness. I acted like I didn’t care, but the truth was, I was slowly falling for her. That day when we went abroad for our honeymoon, I enjoyed her company. She was so sweet and cheerful, full of energy in a way not many people are. I couldn't help but smile as she forced m
Finale Samantha's POV The sound of gunfire echoed through the old buildings. Everyone became alert. I started to feel nervous. "Get all the guns that we have!" Mr. Wedge shouted to his allies. Leo began distributing the guns to the others. "Watch her," Mr. Wedge said, glancing at me. Tiffany grabbed the gun that Mr. Wedge handed to her. She pointed it at me while the war outside the building raged on. "Please, just let me go," I pleaded with Tiffany, but she didn’t listen. "Shut up! This is all because of you!" she snapped, pointing the gun directly at me. I shook my head in denial. "Remove the leash from her hands and feet, Windy," Tiffany ordered. Windy immediately did as she was told. "Get that knife and point it at her neck!" she added, and Windy obeyed. I looked at Windy, and I could see she was just being forced to do it. "No, please, Windy. I'm begging you," I said, crying. "You want to beg? Then kneel!" Tiffany screamed at me. "Get the guns! The police are here!" I h
Chapter Two Hundred Four: Kidnapped Samantha's POV I breathe heavily, panic tightening around me. Something covers my head, making it hard to see or breathe. Fear grips me as I realize my hands and feet are tied to a chair. "Help!" I scream, struggling to move. A voice, familiar but chilling, responds. "She's awake." It's Leo. I know it's him. "Where am I? Let me go, Leo!" I shout, my voice cracking from fear. "Remove her blindfold," a monotone voice commands. My heart skips a beat. It’s Mr. Wedge. They pull off whatever was covering my head, and though my vision is blurry, I see Leo holding a gun, talking to Tiffany. I blink, trying to make sense of the situation. “The princess is awake,” Tiffany says as she walks toward me, gripping my chin. I glare at her, trying to mask my terror. I’m not just scared for myself but for the baby growing inside me. "Why am I here?" I ask, trying to stay calm. She laughs coldly, mocking me, and my gaze shifts to Mr. Wedge, who’s watc
Chapter Two Hundred Three: Stay Alert Samantha's POV We’re at Diego’s office, and I’m surprised to see my brother, Louis, here, along with his wife, Leilani, and their daughter, Anya. Mrs. Bianca is also here, and everyone is drinking and eating. Diego is sitting beside me, holding my hand. We’re celebrating my pregnancy, and I have no idea what made Diego invite everyone over so suddenly. “Congratulations to both of you,” Mrs. Bianca says, raising her glass. Ray and Elisha are also here, joining in the celebration. “Thank you,” I smile, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Anya is happily playing with the new toy Diego bought her. “Congratulations, sis, and to you too, Diego,” Louis says, giving me a tight hug. “I’m so happy for you,” Leilani adds, embracing me warmly, and then congratulates Diego as well. “Congrats, Sam,” Elisha says, hugging me before giggling. “Congratulations, Sam,” Ray joins in, and as he hugs me, I can’t help but sniff him, then glare at him playfully.
Chapter Two Hundred Two: Happiness Samantha's POV We were busy with our work at the library. Anna and Jane sat with me, but all I could focus on was eating. It seemed like that’s all my body wanted these days. "Sam, no offense, but you've been eating the same thing every day. We’ve noticed," Anna commented, making me pause mid-bite and glance at the food in my hand. She was right, but I couldn’t help it. "And you're not even gaining weight. That's the strange part," Jane added. "Do you think it's a problem? I just can’t stop," I said, leaning back in my chair. Technically, eating wasn’t allowed in the library, but I couldn’t resist. "I thought you hated those foods? Remember when we tried to get you to eat strawberries? You wouldn’t even touch them," Anna said. I remembered that. But people change. "Girl, stand up for a second," Jane said suddenly. I stood, confused. "Face the wall." I bit my bottom lip, feeling their eyes on me. "Damn," Jane muttered. I sat back
Chapter Two Hundred One: Pregnant Diego's POV Damn it! That old man is really pushing my buttons. Luckily, I got there on time, or else he would have hurt Samantha. I know he already has an idea of what we are up to. Even though he tried to hide it, I could see how furious he was. Samantha still hasn’t spoken to me since then. I regret shouting at her. I got carried away by my emotions. I hated the way Mr. Wedge looked at her, especially when his gaze shifted down to her belly. He seems to know something. Yes, Samantha is pregnant. That's why I don’t want to stress her out. I’ve been planning to tell her about what’s going on, but I hesitate when I see her acting differently. I know she’s pregnant, and I know she’s confused too. "But Mom and Dad never mentioned that to me! Damn that Wedge," Louis said. We’re in my office right now. He flew in as soon as he found out what was happening. He and his family are staying at Mr. and Mrs. Henderson’s house for the time being. H
Chapter Two Hundred: Won't Let Anyone Hurt You Samatha's POV He was about to slap him when I shouted. It made them both look at me. Jane tried to hold my hand, but I continued walking towards them. "And who do you think you are to shout at me like that?" he yelled at me. I glared at him. He was wearing a decent suit, but he couldn't even act in a decent way. "Sam," Anna said as she held my hand. But my gaze was fixed on Windy. She had bruises on her hand. "I don't care who you are!" I snapped at him. He let go of Windy, who shook her head at me. He chuckled sarcastically while looking at me. "I think I already know you," he said, walking closer. I took a step back. "Call him," I heard Jane tell Anna. She was now frantically searching for her phone in her bag. "How could you hurt someone like her?" I asked him. He stopped in his tracks and looked at Windy, who immediately lowered her head. "That's none of your business, Mrs. Presley," he said, which shocked me. "How
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Nine: Stop Samantha's POV I looked at the calendar, my forehead knotted, while Diego was busy on his laptop. We were actually in his office right now with Elisha, Ray, Harold, and Jana. “That’s not what actually happened,” Jana said, glaring at Harold. They had been arguing for a while. “Then tell me,” Harold said. I held my head as I started to feel a bit dizzy. “Are you alright?” Diego asked, standing up and carefully guiding me to sit on the couch. “I'm just dizzy, but I’m fine,” I smiled at him, noticing the others looking at me. “What’s the matter?” I asked them. They quickly returned to what they were doing. “Just sit there,” Diego said as he went to the table to get me a glass of water. He handed it to me, and I drank it. “Feeling better now?” he asked. I nodded my head. They went back to their discussion. I still didn’t know why he asked me to be here. I had t
Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Eight: Sad Thoughts Samantha's POV Windy is definitely being duped by Tiffany. I can't believe it. “We have to talk,” I said, holding her hand and making her look at me. She stopped walking. “What's the matter?” I asked her. She suddenly removed my hand and looked at me. “There's nothing to talk about,” she said with expressionless eyes. I sighed and furrowed my brow. “No, we have to talk, Windy. What happened to you? You weren't like this before. Is it because Tiffany is the one paying for your tuition? Is that why you are avoiding us? Did she threaten you?” I asked. She just looked at me. “I don't have to explain myself to you, Samantha. We're over,” she uttered. I shook my head, biting my lower lip to stop myself from crying. She’s my friend; we have so many memories together. “No, we're not. We promised to stay with each other. We promised that, Windy. How could you say such thing
