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
Chapter 14: New Friend Samantha's POV I went home yesterday with a frown on my face. I didn't enjoy my shopping because of that ugly situation. He ruined the moment. Maybe he wouldn’t talk to me again because of what I did to him. Diego's business meeting ended earlier; that's why he was already home when I got there. Just like before, he looked at me with furrowed eyebrows, but I didn’t have time to talk to him yesterday because of what happened. I was just annoyed because of Andrew. He’s telling me that it’s my fault he cheated? Who in their right mind would think that way? Did Tiffany do something to him? A knock on the door brought me back to reality. I stood up to open it. It was Diego. He was already prepared, wearing a black long sleeve and sunglasses. “Did you prepare for this day? You look like a model in that outfit,” I said while smiling. I was just wearing my yellow dress above the knee. “The choppers
Chapter 15: Silly Woman Samantha's POV After we went home from Diego's Island, I decided to visit my mom and talk to them about the wedding. I could still see that they were shocked by how fast everything was happening. I’m being careful when I’m talking to them, afraid that I might accidentally reveal that the marriage might not last long. If they find out, I’m dead. “Where are you going?” Diego asked as I turned around to look at him. I placed my finger on my chin, thinking about whether to tell him or not. He was busy on his laptop. “Why? Are you coming with me?” I asked him. He didn’t respond, so I continued walking. “It’s already late at night,” I said with a smile when he spoke. Does he care about me right now? That’s so sweet of him. Or maybe he’s just worried that something bad might happen to me? But that’s caring, too. Whatever. I opened the door and was about to step out when he sighed. He then stood up while
Chapter 16: Bachelor Party Diego's POV “Cheers, bro!” One of my classmates raised his glass. I smiled and did the same. “Cheers to the groom!” they shouted. I shook my head while looking at them. I drank my champagne while the loud music conquered the room. This night is the bachelor’s party. I invited my friends, some businessmen, and, of course, some of my schoolmates from before. Sam is also having her bridal shower. “Congratulations, bro,” Garry said, the one who spoke earlier. He's one of my schoolmates from high school, to be exact. We sometimes had contact, but because of busy schedules, we rarely met. He's a businessman, too. “Thank you, bro. How’s your wife and Keith?” I asked him. Keith is their son. He chuckled and held my shoulder. “We already have two kids, and guess what? My wife is pregnant again,” he said proudly. I smiled. “Really? Congrats,” I told him. We talked for a while. I was just wonderin
Chapter 17: Party TwistSamantha's POV“I regret joining here! I'm supposed to join Diego's party,” Ray complained. I laughed. He just wants to be surrounded by men. I mean, he's not gay; he's not straight, either.“I didn't invite you here,” I said, laughing at him as he kept frowning. “I did,” Elisha raised her hands. They both glared at each other.“Let's just enjoy it,” I said, laughing. I left them in the meantime to talk to my other guests. I invited my relatives, my age, and also some of my friends.“Congrats, Sam. I hope you'll be marrying one of the hottest businessmen in the world! How I wish I could find one in the future,” Krisha said while holding my hand. Krisha isn't my closest friend, but she's still my friend. It's just that she's studying abroad.“Did you know that he has this six-pack of abs?” I giggled. Krisha is just like me,
Chapter 18: Unexpected Moments Samantha's POVI sat beside him while he looked at me. Was he having a moment? Should I leave?“I should be the one asking you that,” he said. I sighed before ordering two beers.“Because it's boring inside? What about you? Why are you here? You're supposed to be with your guest?” I asked him. He looked at the two beers in front of me.“Same,” he just uttered while drinking his glass of hard liquor. I nodded before drinking.“We just escaped with our party,” I laughed. He was wearing a white polo and had even removed the three buttons, which made it even hotter.Why doesn’t he look thirty-one? Does he only look my age? Though he really has a great body.“Why keep staring?” He looked at me. I chuckled.“Don’t you know that everyone does that when you're walking on the street, ea
