Though sometimes, I still feel traumatized because of what he did.Jorge sent me to school because today we have night class. That's what Mom and Dad told him. He'll fetch me after class.“Maybe he went back abroad. You know that's what criminals do when they are caught in the act—scared that they will go to jail,” Anna told us.They are talking about Andrew's disappearance. Everyone on campus also found out about what he did. The authorities were asking and talking to the students about him yesterday, but no one knows where he is. Even his friends know nothing.“She’s right. Maybe he's hiding somewhere,” Jane said. Windy is just silent.“That asshole. I hope they find him. Someone like him needs to pay for what he did,” I told them.“Really? Or maybe it's you who needs to be in jail,” Tiffany said behind me. I looked at he
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Six: We Need To Talk Samantha's POVI am silent while sitting. He didn't talk. I just kept myself busy looking out the window. I suddenly became anxious when I saw someone smiling at me weirdly. Wait, is that Andrew? I looked around."What's the matter?" Diego asked me. He stopped the car."It was him," I told him. I opened the car to look for him. He was standing right here earlier."Sam, it's too dark there," Diego held my hand. My gaze went to him. He's right. But I saw him here."I saw Andrew on that way. He was smiling at me," I told him. He pulled me closer to him."You should go back inside the car. I'll check if he's here," he told me. I went back to the car and closed it. I waited for him when someone suddenly appeared at the car window."Shit!" I cursed and shouted. It’s Andrew!"What happened?" Diego asked me as he ran back to the car. He followed my gaze, and Andrew was already running far from us. Diego was about to follow him, but I stopped hi
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Seven: NewsSamantha's POV“Did you hear the news? We don't have class for five days. Our professors are going somewhere,” Windy said. That news made me literally smile.“Really? Gosh! I've been waiting for that day. Finally, I'm so tired of doing all these school activities,” Anna smiled. She’s really happy about it.“We can go on vacation. That’s freaking five days, guys,” Jane uttered. She’s right. We've been so stressed. A lot has happened this week.“I heard that our teacher, Miss Caroline, is planning a trip. I mean, it's actually part of our subject, though it hasn’t been finalized,” Anna said. A trip?“Really?” I asked, and she nodded repeatedly.“Yup, but she isn’t sure about it,” Jane said. That's new, but it sounds exciting.“Wait, what about Diego? When I called you last night, I saw that he was at your house,” Anna uttered. Jane and Windy looked at me, confused.She’s really talkative. “What? Is he staying at your house now?” Windy asked. “Don’t
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Eight: Womanizer Samantha's POVJane, Anna, and I were at the mall right now, buying materials for our project.“We've been here for an hour. I’m tired,” Anna complained. She sat down, massaging her heel. Jane went inside a store while I looked around for something to eat.“I’ll just go this way,” I told Anna, and she nodded. I started walking when I suddenly felt the need to pee. I went to look for a restroom.After I was done, I came out and walked around the mall. I decided to go upstairs. Most of the stores here are restaurants, but there are some stores selling other things as well.I went inside a store and actually found the board we were looking for. I paid for it with my own money. I was about to head downstairs when something caught my eye.“That back looks familiar,” I said to myself. I tried to get a clearer look, and I was right—it was Diego. What is he doing here? I started walking toward the restaurant but stopped when I saw a familiar face.
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Nine: I Hate YouSamantha's POV“That bastard! You know what? I was really about to surprise him for our anniversary. I bought a ticket and everything. I was so excited to see him. I thought he was really busy at the time. He couldn’t even call or send me a message. He couldn’t even update me on what was going on in his freaking life,” Jane vented.Anna’s house had a mini bar. Her parents were abroad managing their business, so she was mostly alone with the maids and guards.Jane kept talking about her ex-boyfriend while we drank.“What happened that day?” I asked her, taking another shot.

He was living in a condominium. I put so much effort into it, but as soon as I opened the door to his place, I saw him with another woman,” she said, her voice breaking as tears rolled down her ch
Chapter One Hundred Thirty: Mom, Dad, I Miss You Samantha's POVI woke up and held my head. “Shit! It hurts,” I uttered. I looked around my room; it's neat. My gaze went to the time.“I was about to call you. You need to eat breakfast now. You still need to go to school,” Nita told me. I nodded my head. She went out of my room while I grabbed my towel and went inside the shower room.It took me a few minutes to finish. I just wore a black dress and paired it with heels. I went downstairs, my gaze searching for him.“You should eat now. Jorge will drive you to school,” Nita uttered. I sighed.“Where is he?” I asked Nita. She seemed to know what I was talking about.“He went to work early. Wait, why were you drunk last night?” she asked. I didn’t answer her.“Maybe he went to meet random girls again,” I murmured.

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-One: I'm On My Way Diego's POVI'm fucking worried about Samantha. That bastard, how dare he lay his filthy hand on Samantha. I will freaking kill him. The door opened, and Harold entered, frowning."Have you found him?" I asked. He let out a heavy sigh."I told you it's hard to find someone who is hiding," he said, messing up his hair. Damn, where did that bastard hide?"It seems like he really knows he's being hunted," he added. The door opened again, and Jana entered. She rolled her eyes when her gaze landed on Harold.What's the matter with them? Did they fight again?"How's Samantha?" she asked. I still can't forget about what happened to her and her maid.

He’s still out there, watching her," I told her."I heard you're staying at their house? She let you?

But how? How did they do that?"But Dad, Mom..." I wanted to ask them, but my mother quickly cut me off."You don't have to worry about it," Mom said, caressing my back."The food is ready," Nita said, calling us."Let's go, I'm hungry," Mom told me, while Dad smiled before grabbing his phone and calling someone."What about Dad, Mom?"
