Chapter Sixty-Five: Louis and Leilani Samatha's POVWe're going to my brother's house today. Actually, it's been a year since he went abroad. His wife and kids have been living there, but today they're visiting for a vacation. It isn’t far from our place; they’re staying with his mother-in-law.“You haven't met my brother Louis, right?” I asked Diego while he was driving. He shook his head. Louis had called me last night, and I told him I’d be visiting today.Actually, Louis couldn't attend my wedding because Anya, his daughter, was hospitalized. But she's okay now."He's a businessman like you. He rejected Dad's offer to take over our company. He told Dad he wanted to build his own company. My brother and you have similarities. He's smart and wise, and now he has a great company abroad," I told him proudly. Dad, Mom, and I are proud of him, though we do miss him sometimes. He tries to visit us, even though he’s often busy."Louis Henderson… I think I've heard that name before," Dieg
Chapter Sixty-Six: I Hate You More Than You Hate MeSamantha's POVAfter we were done visiting my brother, he went to a business meeting. I insisted that I would come with him, but he sent me home.He didn't even mention where the meeting was.I was staring into space, playing with my fingers, waiting for him to come home. I couldn't really stay here without doing something.I grabbed my bag as I left the condominium. I called a taxi. I'm hungry again. I'll just find somewhere to eat.I sent him a message saying I'm going to eat somewhere. He didn't reply. I waited for several minutes, but I never received a message.I sighed while getting out of the taxi.Why isn't he replying to my messages?I just went inside the restaurant. I sat on the chair and looked at the menu to order.After I finished ordering, I was about to eat when someone suddenly poured cold water on me. "Shit!" I cursed and stood up.I heard laughter behind me. I turned around to see who it was. "What did you do?!" I
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Damn HimSamantha's POV"Where did you go?" I asked him. He didn't come home yesterday. I've been waiting for him the entire night, but he never showed up.I'm trying not to get mad, but I'm really furious right now. I felt like a fool waiting for nothing.He didn't answer me. Instead, he went to the kitchen to cook. What the heck is his problem? Why isn't he talking to me? I can’t think of anything I did to offend him."What's your problem, Oldie?" I held the tip of his shirt. He glanced at me, but I didn't let go. Damn him! Why is he acting like this?"I'm tired, Samantha," he said. I chuckled sarcastically before letting go of his shirt."Really? That's what you're going to say after I waited for you the whole day? You didn't even tell me where you went! You said you were going to a business meeting, but you didn't come home last night. And now that you're here, you're acting like nothing happened?" I couldn't believe it. I can't even control myself.I wanted t
Chapter Sixty-Eight: I Lost The GameSamantha's POV"Come on, Sam!" Windy cheered me on as I danced while others watched. She chuckled and joined me."I've really wanted to talk to you for a while, but someone kept pushing me away. I'm glad I found you," she chuckled. I stopped dancing and looked at her."Pushing you away? What? Why would someone do that? Who?" I asked her. She raised her glass."Don't get mad, but I heard you two aren't friends anymore. It was Tiffany. That bitch. She's always watching everyone around you. That's why everyone who admires you never gets a chance—they're all too scared because she's always talking to them when you're not around," she said. I stopped dancing. That bitch!"I had no idea she was doing all of that!" I told her. She rolled her eyes and started dancing again."It's okay. I'm glad you finally saw how much of a bitch she is," she said. I laughed, though I was surprised by everything she said."You know what? Let's just stop talking about that
Chapter Sixty-Nine: Jealous Samantha's POVI didn’t talk to him when I woke up. I wasn’t in the mood. While messaging Windy to thank her for sending me home last night, she asked if Diego and I were okay. I told her we hadn’t talked. Windy is actually funny, and she also likes going to parties. Maybe that’s why I became close to her in just one day.He told me to change my clothes because we’d be having lunch outside. I did what he wanted, but I still didn’t talk to him."Are you not going to talk?" he asked while driving. I chose to sit in the backseat."Where do you want to eat?" he asked me again, but I kept myself busy on my phone, acting like he didn’t exist. His phone rang, and when I glanced at it, I noticed he hadn’t changed his wallpaper. I smiled bitterly.Why did I forget? He’s still into Jasmine.He parked the car, and I didn’t wait for him to open the door for me. I got out and walked straight into the restaurant.I sat down and stayed busy on my phone, but I noticed he
Chapter Seventy: Untold Emotions Samantha's POV“Mom,” I hugged Mom tight. I didn't go back to Diego's condominium. “You didn't tell me that you were coming here?” she said. I just smiled at her.“I wanted to surprise you, Mom. Why? You don't want to see me here?” I asked her. She laughed while caressing my hair. I missed these moments with her.“Aunty Sam!” My gaze went to this little, cute girl running toward me.“Anya, why didn't you tell me that Louis is here?” I asked Mom. I played with Anya's hand and pinched her cheeks. I laughed at her cuteness.“They came here the other day. They're actually cooking,” Mom said. I carried Anya while walking toward the kitchen.“Samantha,” Leilani said with a smile, happy to see me here.“Why didn't you inform me that you guys were here?” I pouted. Anya gave me a kiss on the cheek. I giggled at what she did.“We were just about to call you, but you're already here,” Mom said.“Who has a birthday today?” I asked, noticing they were cooking a l
Chapter Seventy-One: Husband Diego's POV“Let's make a deal. You'll invest in my company, and I'll offer you the best interest,” Mr. Kuzato said. He's a Japanese businessman. I leaned back in my chair, looking at him.“And what is that, Mr. Kuzato?” I asked. He let out a heavy sigh and started discussing his company and the profit I could gain from investing.“So, what do you think, Mr. Presley?” he asked. I've read his company's background information. Indeed, his business is known in Japan, and he's one of the most successful businessmen.“Deal,” I said, extending my hand. He grabbed it excitedly. “Good choice, Mr. Presley. You won't regret investing in my company,” he said while standing. I nodded at him.After that, we just had some talks.After the meeting, my phone rang. I thought it was Samantha, but it was David.“Can you visit me right now, Uncle? I'm not feeling well,” he said. I could see a towel on his head. “Where's your dad?” I asked.“He went to a business meeting, Unc
Chapter Seventy-Two: My Heart AchesSamantha's POV“What do you think of my outfit?” I turned around to show him the dress we bought yesterday.We're going to a party today, and I’m excited. “Say something,” I pouted when he just kept looking at me.“It suits you,” he said curtly. I rolled my eyes. “That's all?” I glared at him. I did my makeup and spent so much time searching for this dress, but all he says is that it suits me? I sighed. I shouldn’t expect him to like it.“Doesn't he find me attractive?” I murmured.“Let's go,” he said while putting on his expensive watch. I nodded, following him from behind.He always looks great, but today he looks amazing. He’s like the prince in stories who tries to save the princess. But, of course, that only exists in fairy tales, not in real life.As we were walking to the door, Andrew’s condominium opened. His gaze fell on me, and I quickly wrapped my hand around Diego's arm.Diego looked at me, noticing that Andrew was watching us. I didn’t
