Chapter Three: Responsibility
Samantha's POV
I 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 opened it, I saw his ID.
“Diego Zayn Presley? “I read his name. He has an awesome name, too. And hold on… what?
“What the fuck!? He's 31 years old?” I covered my mouth. Did I just fuck with 31 years old man?
He suddenly moved, which made me hurriedly leave the room. I quickly went out of that freaking hotel and called for a taxi. Shit! I just made up with that guy. But who cares Sam? At least he’s someone worthy of bed, unlike your ex. My conscience said.
Yeah, right. I was busy fixing my hair when my phone rang. Damn it! I'm dead.
“Nita, don't tell Mother that I haven't arrived, or else I’m dead,” I said before Nita could talk. Nita is our maid. She's in her 40’s.
“Ma'am Sam, you have to hurry before your mother finds out that you're not here,” She said in her scared voice, which made me laugh.
“I'm on my way. Don't worry. I'll be there before she knows,” I told her before hanging up the phone. I arrived at the house and went through the backdoor, where Nita was waiting for me.
“You're making me scared. Go to your house and take a shower. They are waiting for you in the dining area,” she said, which made me hurriedly go to my room.
After taking a quick shower, I went to the room and saw my mother with her furrowed eyebrows.
“Hey, Mom, good morning,” I kissed her on the cheeks and sat on the chair while Nita was serving me food.
“Hmm, this is delicious,” I uttered while chewing the food.
“What’s with your behavior, Sam?” My Mom asked me, but I just kept on chewing.
“I don't know what is wrong with you. You keep on escaping at night,” she started. I acted like I didn't know what she was talking about.
I look at Nita and look down when Mom looks at her.
“Mom, I'm here last night.” I lied and drank water.
“Stop lying, Samantha.” Here she goes. She's mad now, calling me by my name.
“Where were you last night? And who’s this guy?” My forehead furrowed. Mom showed me pictures of me and that guy last night. What's his name again? Diego! Right, it's Diego.
I chuckled nervously and got those photos from the table.
“Mom, he's just a friend. Afterward, I went to the bar. I go home early,” I told her. She held her forehead problematic. I started with the picture, and he's actually tall.
“Not bad, so handsome.” I zipped my mouth. I thought I was just talking in my mind.
“What?!” Mom looked at me. I just shook my head.
“Don't ever escape again, Sam. I have eyes on you. Stop messing around. You’re not allowed to engage on—”
“Come on, mom. Please don’t be too hard on me. I’m your only daughter,” I cut her off. She let out a sigh, “That’s the reason why I don’t want you to go outside late at night. It’s too dangerous,” I know she’s just worried about me. It makes me feel guiltier.
“I’m fine, Mom. I can take care of myself.” She nodded, “Okay. I trust you. Finished your breakfast,” she said before leaving. I chuckled, staring at the picture.
“Lucky guy.” Well, it's better that he gets my purity than that ugly, Andrew. I grabbed my phone and searched for his name on the internet.
Hmm, so he owned a big company, huh?” I murmured, scrolling more, trying to find more information.
“Nita, I'll go outside to do something important. Tell Mom that if she’s looking for me, she should call me instead of asking you,” I said. She hadn't spoken when I stood up and got my bag.
I went back to my room and changed clothes. I wore a white dress and heels. I just put on light makeup, and I'm ready.
While I was inside the car, I couldn't stop but look at the image. I'm glad mom didn't get it from me.
I arrived at the said company. I grabbed my folder and walked inside. Someone is looking at me, and I find this man wearing eyeglasses with her mouth half open. Another target, maybe I could use him to find his office.
“Hi. Do you know where Diego is?” I asked him.
“Diego?” he was confused. I gave her my sweetest smile and winked at him.
“It’s Diego Zayn Presley. He owned this company, right?” I told him, which made him nod.
“He's in his office Miss. Do you have an appointment?” He asked me, which made me bite my lip. I placed my hand on his shoulder.
“I don't. But I'm his niece.” I winked at him, which made him stare at me. He held my hand, but I got it back. My hand is already reserved for my man.
“This way, Miss,” he said. I just followed him. He’s showing my way to my future husband.
“This is his office Miss-”
“Sam, call me Sam,” I smiled at him. He was about to speak, but I opened the door and closed it. I don’t want to talk to anyone aside from him.
I smiled widely when I saw him sitting on his swivel chair while looking at his laptop. He looks like those cold, yet handsome CEO.
“Hi,” I waved my hand and placed my folder on his table. He looked at me with the same expression he wore last night. A lot of coldness. Is this how he will treat me?
“How did you find me?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. Ow, he doesn’t want to see me here. I seductively smiled and sat above his table.
“You have to take responsibility for me,” I said and looked at him. He rested his back on his swivel chair. He problematically messed up his hair.
“Listen, kid-” I rolled my eyes and went on his back.
“Stop calling me kid. Call me baby instead,” I whispered in his ears softly.
“Samantha Henderson.” I was shocked when he uttered my name. How did he know me? Hmm, interesting.
“How did you know?” I asked even though I knew the answer. I’m pretty famous on or outside the university campus. I smiled widely but it slowly faded because of the next thing he said.
“I saw your card,” he said. I fake a cough. So full of me to think that’s the reason why he knew me. Famous, my ass.
“Just like what I am saying, you should take responsibility for me. You take my purity, and that was last night, in case you forgot about it,” I told him. He crossed his arms and coldly stared at me. Oh, so cold. I feel like I am in Antarctica.
“And what makes you think that I will do that?” He asked. Ugh, how rude. Oh, wait, is he married? That’s why he can’t take any responsibility? I sat on the chair. Duh, I won’t give up. This man is mine now. He won’t sleep with some random girl when he’s married, right?
“Are you a man? You just slept with me, and you must take responsibility for what you did,” I said, looking straight into his eyes.
“My family won't let go of someone who takes my purity,” I threatened him. I could use those words to blackmail him so he couldn't say no. He only stared at me like he was thinking.
I stood up and started to roam around his office, and the design was actually good.
“Good taste,” I said. Oh, wait, I need to show him the photos. I went back to the table and showed him our pictures last night.
He got those pictures and started looking at them. His forehead furrowed. That’s unexpected, right?
He has this athletic body, those tempting lips, attractive eyes. He doesn't look 31 years old. He looks younger than that.
“What do you think, Diego?” he glared at me. I chuckled because of his reaction. “Alright, if you don’t want me to call you Diego, what about oldie? Grandpa?” His glare intensified. I laughed hard.
“I’ll just call you Zayn, then?” He didn’t speak. He looked at those photos again. “You don’t have to think too much.” He looked straight at me again. He chuckled, “You're interesting,”
He stood up and walked towards me. He then leaned to fix my hair. I closed my eyes, thinking that he was about to kiss me, but I waited for a second and opened my eyes. He was just staring at me. I gulp because of the way he stares. He's freaking gorgeous!
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
Chapter Six: She's Mad Samantha's POV I bit my lower lips while looking at my mother worriedly. I know this will happen. “What?! You're still studying Sam!” My mother's voice echoed in my ears. She's screaming angrily. Damn, she's overreacting for real. I just told her that my boyfriend will come here tonight. And she was like, What?! You're too young for that! I secretly rolled my eyes. She was younger than me when she got pregnant. . “Mom, I'm already mature. Besides, he's handsome and freaking rich. “ I told her, trying to convince her. There's no way I wouldn't convince her right now. “We're rich too. Sam. Boyfriend? There's no way on earth I will let you bring that man here.” She objected to my decision. “But Mom, he's matured. Believe me, if I say so," I said and placed the pillow on my lap. I grabbed the chocolate and started eating it. She looked at me with wide eyes. “Sam, I told you. You're not allowed to have a boyfriend," she said, but I shook my head. Her
Chapter 7: Meeting the In-Laws Samantha's POVMy hands were sweating as I looked at my dad nervously. My father was staring at me. Damn! He looks like he's ready to throw me out of the house.“Did I hear your mother right?” he asked in his serious voice. I slowly nodded at him and lowered my head. For sure, I will hear another preaching from him.“Dad, Mom, what can I do? I love him,” I said. Dad let out a heavy sigh as he looked at me.They were both discussing it in Dad's office when he got home. I could barely hear them arguing earlier.“What time will he come?” Dad asked. I looked at him and bit my lips to stop myself from smiling.“Tonight. He will be joining us for dinner,” I told Dad. He nodded at me and looked at Mom, but she just furrowed her eyebrows.“That's all, Philip? You're not going to talk to her about the mess she made?” Mom said incredulously. She was like pushing Dad to talk to me. Damn, I don't want to hear any more words.“Sam, I hope you know what you're doing,
Chapter 8: Moving In Samantha's POV “Are you sure about this?” Mom asked me while she was sitting on my bed. I glanced at her while I was busy packing my things. “Mom, I know things went so fast. But I'm grown up now. I'm not a baby anymore,” I told her. I sat beside her. She fixed the strands of my hair. “I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just that- I love you. It's hard to see you packing your things and living under another roof,” she said. I understand her; they treated us like princesses. “Mom, I'm not going to another planet. I'm just a little bit far from you and Dad, but I'll be visiting you always.” I chuckled. She sighed. “Just come back here if things don't go well, okay? The door is always open for you.” I nodded at her and continued fixing my stuff. “Isn’t he handsome?” I asked her while smiling broadly, thinking about Diego. “Yes, but-” The door opened, and it was Dad and Diego. I was also done packing my things. “Are you done?” he asked me with his sweet voice
Chapter 9: Wedding Preparations Samantha's POV“What do you think about this?” I asked him, showing him the wedding ring. He was just looking at it when I kicked his feet under the table. He glared at me, but I furrowed my eyebrows.“Ma'am, we only have one pair of rings. It's actually a perfect fit for you,” the sales lady said. I found it cute; I don't care if it's expensive.“This one, I want this,” I showed him my ring finger excitedly. I intentionally pouted. He just nodded.“Aren't you happy?” I acted like I was crying while wiping the side of my eyes. It made him hold my hand immediately.“Of course, it's perfect. Sorry about my fiancée,” he told the sales lady. She chuckled while looking at us. I placed my hand on his chest.“You two really look good together. Wishing you a successful wedding, Ma'am and Sir,” she said. I gave her back the wedding ring. I glanced at Diego. He was smiling at the sales lady, but when he glanced at me, he glared.What the?The sales lady stood up
Chapter 10: Learning To CookSamantha's POVI felt satisfied leaving that wedding gown boutique yesterday. I couldn't stop snickering while thinking about Tiffany's face.I still couldn't forget their betrayal—how I treated that bitch like my own flesh, only for her to use me to get closer to that cheater, Andrew. It's been days since that happened, but when I see their faces, it's like it only happened yesterday.“When will we meet again?” I asked myself while sitting on Diego's swivel chair. I could see the shock on their faces. Well, it's not bad, thanks to him playing along.I stood up when my tummy growled. I'm hungry. I woke up, and he was already out. I hadn't eaten breakfast, so I decided to go to the kitchen to look for food.“Seriously? Vegetables?” I couldn't believe it. I'm not picky, but I am not a fan of vegetables, especially when I'm not in the mood.I just grabbed the egg and bacon from the fridge. I suddenly stopped when I remembered I actually didn't know how to coo
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
