They are also suspended for two weeks.They need to help the janitors in the school clean the surroundings, even the comfort rooms. They are required to take documentation while doing it.“Catch it!” Jana shouted as the ball was falling in my direction. I extended my hand.“Go, Sam!” Windy cheered as the ball landed in my hand.We’re actually playing right now. After I hit the ball, I stepped out and rested on the sand, watching them.“Here.” Diego handed me a towel and some water. I smiled at him as he sat beside me.“Why don’t you continue playing?” he asked. I shook my head and drank the water.“I can't. I’m tired,” I told him. His forehead creased.“You’ve only been pla
Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Eight: Second Time Around Samantha’s POVI was busy on my laptop when someone knocked on the door. I thought it was Diego, but when I opened it, it was actually Jane.“What is it?” I asked her. She handed me a paper bag while smiling.“You should wear that. We’re dressing up tonight. We’ll eat outside,” she said. I looked at her, confused.“Why? Are we going somewhere far from here?” I asked. She shook her head.“Nope, somewhere nearby,” she replied. I sighed and nodded before closing the door.“Where is Oldie? I’ve been looking for him for hours. I’m already losing my temper. I’ve called him, but he’s not picking up. Where did he go? Did he find a Georgia lady and follow her around? He told me he was just going to talk to the owner of this hotel, but it’s been over an hour, and he still hasn’t come back. Or maybe he went somewhere I don’t know about. That Oldie!”I took out the contents of the bag and found a dress.“A red dress?” I mumbled. “What am I supp
Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Nine: Always Put You FirstSamantha’s POV“Yes, I will marry you for the second time,” I answered. Diego smiled and slipped the ring onto my finger before pulling me into a tight hug, as everyone around us applauded.Before, I was the one who forced him into marriage, to act like my husband, to be sweet to me. But now, he's doing it all on his own, without me asking. The man standing in front of me will be my partner in life, and this time, without pretense. I will be his wife, truly, and for eternity.“Congratulations!” everyone cheered as Diego’s arm wrapped around my waist.“Congrats, baby,” my dad said, pulling me into a warm hug. I hugged him back tightly, missing him more than words could express.“I’m so happy to see you smiling,” my mom added as she hugged me too. I still couldn’t believe they were here.“Thank you, Mom, Dad. I thought you guys wouldn’t make it,” I said.They both chuckled. “Of course we would. This night is all about you. Diego told
Chapter One: Break UpSamantha's POVThe wind blew my hair as I opened the window of my room. Upon observing my surroundings, I was thinking about which direction I should run. I bit my bottom lip in annoyance when I saw our guards at the front door.“Damn it. He's still there,” I murmured. I went to my huge mirror and fixed my hair. I looked like a mess but still as gorgeous as ever. I winked at myself as I combed it using my fingers.“Samanta, baby, are you still up?” A knock on the door suddenly alerted me. Oh, mom is here. She’ll scold me if she finds out I’m still awake at this hour. I hurriedly went to my bed, nervously covering myself with my blanket, and pretended that I was already sleeping.I took a deep breath when I heard the door open. She always did that. I wonder if one of the people in this house knows the word privacy. I calmed down as I could hear her footsteps towards me.I felt her sit down on the edge of the bed, sighing in relief. She probably thought I went out
Chapter Two: One Night StandSamantha's POV“Let's party!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I raised my hand, holding a glass of wine. I could barely stand properly because of drunkenness, but I still kept on dancing like a crazy girl. The loud music is the only thing that makes me feel alive.It is fucking hurts. I trusted them with all my heart. Tiffany, you’re the last person I ever thought would betray me. But you’re the first one. What a sly bitch.“This is all that I want!” I shouted while dancing, not minding everyone’s around me. Damn that ugly duck! I even consider her my sister, and yet she's still betrayed me. And that Andrew Presley, damn that guy. Who does he think of himself? Some models with eight-pack abs? Damn! He doesn't even have one!I escaped from home again. I don't want to isolate myself thinking about those two snakes from the forest. Who even let them escape? I think I need to return them to where they came from. I'd rather go to a party than be a sad
Chapter Three: ResponsibilitySamantha's POVI covered my lips and yawned when I woke up in the morning. What happened last night? Oh, last night? I quickly looked around to see where I was. My eyes widened when I felt like my body was being torn apart. And I felt pain down there.“Shit!” I gasp when I feel someone’s hand placed on my stomach. Then I realized what happened last night. This can’t be serious. I end up spending the night with a stranger. Did I completely lose my mind last night? My mother will surely kill me.I slowly removed his hand while looking at his face. He's attractive even when he's asleep. Damn it, Sam! You still have time to think about that after you gave your virginity to this handsome guy. Well, at least he’s handsome.I got out of bed and hurriedly put on my dress, even if my body hurt. I got my purse and was about to leave when I saw his wallet fall. It makes me a little curious. Maybe I can find something about his identity. I slowly picked it up. As I o
Chapter Four: ShowSamantha's POVI 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 Die
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
