Chapter Thirty-Seven: Sweetest SmileSamantha’s POVI still can't get over what happened yesterday. Those two stupid brats are really making my head hurt. If only they knew how I could help them with their studies! They know how to have sex, but they can't even spell "dick!" Damn them. I really want to smash their faces with the hardest metal in the world.“Are you still mad?” Diego asked me. I glared at him. Who wouldn't be? I saw their faces again.“How could that stupid Tiffany call you old?! I am the only one who can call you that way! Have you seen their faces? They even look older than you.” I messed up my hair while leaning my back on the seat.“I thought you were going to laugh when she said that,” he uttered while driving. Why does he still have to bring up that topic again? I already forgot it last night.“I don't have time to laugh with that bitch. I really regret being friends with her,” I told him.We're actually heading to a party today. Diego was one of the invited busi
Chapter Thirty-Eight: An Unexpected KissSamantha's POV“Stop drinking now,” she whispered. Diego tried to grab the glass of drink in my hand by moving it away. He glared at me, looking mad, but I just laughed.“Why? You're drinking too,” I whispered back. I pouted. I felt my face redden. Everyone was drinking at their own tables.“Your wife is such an adorable lady,” Zania said. Zania and Merrick were at the same table with us. Merrick is also a businessman where Diego invested in his company.“Thank you, Zania. We're both adorable,” I told her. I felt a little bit dizzy but I could still manage to control myself.Merrick poured another drink in Diego's glass. He was about to drink it when I took it from him.“This actually tastes good,” I complimented. I could see Diego glaring at me, but I just smiled at him.“Sorry about her. Please excuse us,” Diego stood up and grabbed my hand. I waved to Zania before leaving them at the table. Diego kept on walking while pulling my hand.It mad
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Goodbye KissSamantha’s POVI bit my lips while looking out of nowhere. I was like an idiot thinking about our kiss last night. I didn't expect him to kiss me back. I didn't even think of kissing him passionately; it was just going to be an act, like pressing both our lips together."I'm going now," Diego said while fixing his tuxedo. I stood up from the bed when I saw his necktie wasn't fixed properly."When will you come home?" I asked him. I also fixed his hair and sword sweetly. He stared into my eyes."What? Do I have dirt on my face?" I asked him. He shook his head."Nothing. Remember what I told you, okay? No drinking. When I came back, you should already be here," he grabbed his suitcase. I nodded my head like a kid while watching him prepare his things."Got it. I'll just go to my cousin's house," I told him. He stood up and glanced at me."Any goodbye kiss?" I chuckled as my silliness started again. I was about to tell him that it was a joke when he walk
Chapter Forty: Confrontation and Confession Samantha’s POV“Why are you late?” Diego asked me as I came inside. Anna and Jane were trying to invite me for a girls' night, but I refused because Oldie, my husband, would get mad. Anyway, he couldn't do anything if I wanted to.“Looking around?” I hesitated to tell. Before I walked through this room, I made sure Andrew's condominium was close. I don't want him to see me walking. It's not that I'm scared he might find out about what I did; it's just that I'm not comfortable with that room now.We had been in a two-year relationship before, but I never knew he was actually staying here. I thought he was staying at his parents' house. That's what he told me. He made me believe his lies.“I’m asking you,” he told me. I turned to look at him. He slightly furrowed his brows while looking at me with judgment.I rolled my eyes and walked towards him. “I didn't drink,” I told him before sitting on the couch.“So you want to eat outside?” he asked
Chapter Forty-One: Teach Me How To CookDiego's POV“Uncle!” I smiled while waving my hand on the screen. It was David. He grew up so fast. “When are you going to visit us?” he asked me. I couldn't answer him. Since we parted ways, I haven't gone to visit him. We're just calling each other.“Your uncle is still busy. But don't worry, when I have time, I'll visit you,” I assured him. He nodded. We kept on talking about him going to school, meeting new friends, and playing with them.“I'll hang up now, Uncle. My friends are in the living room,” he told me. I nodded at him before he ended the call.“Who was that?” Sam suddenly appeared in front of me, smiling broadly. I distanced myself as our faces were so close to each other.“Business client,” I told her. She nodded repeatedly while showing a sly smile on her face. Is she planning something again?I remember what happened the other night. I was worried when she hadn't come back from buying flowers. I hesitated to follow her, but I sti
Chapter Forty-Two: BossySamantha's POV"I have a great idea," Jane said, raising her hand. She squatted on the couch, hugging the pillow on her lap. Our attention shifted to her."What is it?" Anna asked curiously. We waited for her to speak as she pointed her chin upward."Come on, spill the tea," Ray said impatiently. Jane chuckled, looking at us with our brows furrowed in impatience."Why don't we go somewhere? Like hiking, maybe camping?" Jane suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement. "I know a place where we can stay. What do you guys think? We can stay there for a few days," Elisha said while busy on her phone.My cousins, including Elisha, were visiting me at Diego's condominium. Diego was in the kitchen, cooking lunch. I chuckled, remembering how his eyes squinted when they entered without him knowing they were coming."Really? That's great! Should we stay for five days? Or maybe three?" Jane said excitedly. "We need to have some fun before school starts again," she added, try
Chapter Forty-Three: SleepySamantha's POVWe're traveling to Elisha M's family hotel where we will be staying. Elisha and Ray are in one car, while Jane and Anna are in another. I'm sitting in the passenger seat, singing along to Taylor Swift songs."Baby just say yes..." I stopped when my driver—slash, my husband—parked the car at a store. I curiously looked at him, but he got out without even asking if I wanted to come with him. I pouted as he went inside, leaving me in the car."That oldie!" I hissed while waiting for him. I couldn't help but frown, thinking he forgot I was with him. I paused the song, staring at the store. After what felt like forever, he came out carrying two paper bags.He placed them in the backseat before returning to the driver's seat. I didn't take my eyes off him. He noticed and looked at me innocently. I rolled my eyes as he continued driving."Punk," I murmured, frowning and staying silent. "What's with the face?" he asked, noticing my quietness. I didn’
Chapter Forty-Four: We're Married Samantha's POVWe had already arrived at Elisha’s Hotel. From here, we could see the high mountains and the forest. There was also a beach nearby. This place was perfect for rest and relaxation.“You didn’t tell us your family is actually freaking rich, Elisha,” I said while looking around, smiling broadly. There were other guests here as well.“Ma'am Elisha, welcome back. You didn’t notify us that you’d be coming, so we prepared something for you,” one of the staff said. Her gaze shifted to us. “Good afternoon, sir and ma'am, welcome to Elisha's Hotel,” she greeted us, lowering her head and smiling broadly.“They’re with me. Please prepare two rooms for us, Cindy,” Elisha said. Cindy nodded at her and called two men to get our things.“You’re telling me I’ll be staying with you girls in the same room?” Ray furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief. I chuckled at his reaction.“Come on, stop complaining, or else you’ll sleep outside,” I told him. He hissed
