Chapter 26: Secrets and Smiles
Samantha's POVIt's been two days since we got home. I refused to talk to Diego for the meantime, maybe because I'm too tired.But I'm okay now. He's cooking in the kitchen while I’m reading my favorite book in the living area. My feet are placed on the table while I'm eating.He even glared at me. Maybe he's thinking that's not how a woman sits. The hell I care about; I'll do what I want.While I'm busy reading, I can't help but think about Diego and Jasmine. Why am I so curious about them? I bit my nails and threw the book on the couch.Let's do a little investigation in that case. My subject would be Mr. Oldie.I marched through the kitchen. Why the hell is he not wearing something? It's only the apron. Dang! That body—I could even see from here that his biceps are attracting me to touch them.But I have a goal today. I cleared my throat and sat on tChapter 27: Movie Marathon Samantha's POVI woke up in the morning. “Good morning, Oldie,” I uttered. I stretched my hands. My gaze went to him. His eyes were still closed.I sat and turned to look at him sleeping peacefully. He looked innocent. He looked so fine. My pointed finger touched his nose and pressed it lightly. I chuckled while playing with it.My fingers started traveling to his eyebrows. Why do they have better-looking eyebrows than me?He moved. I hurriedly removed my hand and fixed my hair. I glanced at him, but he was still sleeping.My gaze went to his kissable lips. My finger slowly touched them when he opened his eyes. I hurriedly pulled my hand back and faked a cough.“You're finally awake,” I chuckled uncomfortably. He stared at me before getting up.“Let's start your first day of moving on,” I told him and smiled. He sighed before going i
Chapter 28: Talkative Samantha's POV We're done with my first plan. I'm thinking about doing something again. Maybe I should write a list. I grabbed my notebook and a pen. I wrote first about what happened yesterday. “What are you doing?” he asked me. We're sitting on the balcony right now, watching the sunrise. “I'm doing my list. How to Move On in Thirty Days. I’m telling you, after this plan, you will forget about her.” I winked at him and continued writing. “What should we do next?” I talked to myself. “Moving on. You know, the best thing to do to move on is to focus your attention on something else. You should make yourself busy but don't forget to enjoy.” I pointed at him. “I am the best mentor you could have,” I assured him. “I thought about something,” I grinned. This would be exciting. “You know what, Oldie? You should try to smile, that would help you. I mean when someone tells a joke or when
Chapter 29: Teasing Him Samantha's POV I was walking back to our table after I finished touching up my makeup when I bumped into someone. “Sorry,” I lowered my head while picking up my things scattered on the floor. “Sam?” That familiar voice suddenly stopped me. I looked at her while standing and fixing myself. I didn't expect her to be here. What a coincidence. “We're not friends anymore, Tiffany, so stop calling me that name,” I told her. She was silent because of what I said. She had no right to call me Sam. I already cut our friendship on the day I caught them cheating on me. “Are you still mad?” she asked me. I chuckled sarcastically. Am I still mad? Of course I am. After what they did to me? Who wouldn't be? When your best friend steals your man. “Why should I be mad, Tiffany? I'm actually happy. Thanks, by the way, for stealing Andrew from me. You already got him. You played your role as a viper in our r
Chapter Thirty: Drunk Samantha's POVDiego went to a business meeting today, while I decided to go somewhere. It's been days since I last went out by myself, and I missed it. When I say "going out," I mean going to parties. My cousins, Jane and Anna, invited me since Diego isn't home yet. I'll be attending that party. They're going to pick me up, so I'm getting ready. I wore my fitted red dress and hurriedly put my makeup on because they'd be here at any moment. My phone rings while I'm wearing my earrings. I hurriedly picked it up. It was Anna. My cousins are outside waiting for me. "We're outside," Anna said. I hurried and put on my heels. "I'm coming!" I excitedly replied. I ran to grab my pouch and went out of the room. "I'm glad you finally joined us," Jane said while waiting outside her car. I chuckled as we got inside the car. "That’s normal when you're married," I told them. Anna looked at me. "So, tell us about your married life," Anna asked curiously while she was dri
Chapter Thirty-One: Is She Drunk? Diego's POV I was in the middle of a meeting, but I still couldn't stop thinking about that woman. She really likes teasing me. She knows that I get irritated easily. “This is our proposal, sir,” Alex said, placing the papers on my table. Alex has been my new secretary since Via resigned. “What about the paperwork from yesterday?” I asked him. I told him to send it to my email, but I didn't receive it this morning. “About that, sir. I still haven't finished it. There are errors that I need to change. But don't worry, I'll send it later,” he said. I looked at him. “Fine, but before nine in the evening,” I told him. He nodded. After that, he left my office. I checked my phone to see what time it was. I'll be home later. I sent a message to Samantha about dinner. I waited for several minutes, but she didn't reply. I sighed. What is she doing right now? That woman is really talkative. When we were heading back home from abroad, she became
Chapter Thirty-Two: My Hot, Handsome Oldie Samantha's POV Is he mad? Wait. I didn't do anything wrong. I smiled broadly at him and walked towards him while carrying my heels. "You're still awake," I told him. I feel like my world is spinning right now. "Where did you go?" he asked me. I pointed to myself. Is he referring to me? I chuckled and hit him on his shoulder lightly. "My two cousins invited me for a drink. But don't worry, it's just a girls' night," I whispered to him. "Don't you know what time it is now, woman?" His voice suddenly raised. I backed off and glared at him. "Are you shouting at me now? Listen, Oldie, you're my husband, not my mother," I told him. He messed up his hair. What's wrong with him? "Going out at night and coming back home at this hour is not something a woman should do," he said seriously. I rolled my eyes and walked inside our room. I smiled secretly. "Do you care about me now?" I teasingly asked him. "You're in my house, Samantha.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Morning MessSamantha's POVI woke up with a headache. “Shit!” I held my head. Why am I sleeping on the couch? Did he just kick me last night? I stood up with my eyes half-open.“Damn, what happened?” I asked myself while standing in front of the mirror. My hair was messy, and I smelled something stinky. I looked around and didn't see Diego. I sighed before deciding to go for a shower.After I was done, I saw Diego changing the couch's cover.“What are you doing?” I asked him. He glared at me. What the heck is his problem?“Why was I sleeping on the couch last night? Did you do something, Oldie?” I asked him. He stood up while looking at me.“You don't remember vomiting on me?” he asked sarcastically. What? Wait! Shit! I slowly remembered what I did last night.I bit my fingernails. He just glared at me. I laughed when I finally remembered.“Sorry about that. I was drunk. I couldn't control it and had to puke,” I said, laughing. I walked to the bed and lay on it.
Chapter Thirty-Four: Surprise VisitSamantha’s POV“How are you, baby?” Mom asked me as I decided to visit them. She caressed my back after we separated from hugging.“I'm fine, Mom. Where is Dad?” I asked her. Dad was out of the office. I walked towards him and hugged him tightly.“Baby, you didn't tell us you were coming,” Dad said as he hugged me. It's been three days since I decided to visit them. Diego sent me here because he's going to a business meeting.“Even I didn't know I would be here today, Dad,” I told him. That guy told me to dress up earlier. He didn't even mention where we were going. I just found him driving to our house.He said that I’ll stay here for the meantime while he's working. He'll just fetch me after work. He already decided without asking me.“Oh wait! I forgot. I bought a gift for the two of you.” I went to my room and grabbed my gift for them. I bought this gift when we were abroad.“Here,” I said as I handed them the paper bags.“Thank you, baby. How a
