SAMANTHA'S POVI had run to Ma'am Jacqueline's place in tears and upon reaching her house, she was sitting on her rocking chair right on the porch.As soon as I saw her, I blurted out," He's a monster."I mean, what other words could compare as to what he had done to me? He really hurt me so badly that this time, I had no idea if I would ever be willing to forgive him."Where is he?" She asked me."In the house." I said."He did not run after you?" She demanded."Don't you get it, he's a monster!" I yelled.Instead of speaking, Ma'am Jacqueline got up and started walking towards my house."Where are you going?" I called out to her."To have a little chat with our monster. You get inside and brew yourself a cup of coffee." She said, walking away.No way. This was not right. Was she actually serious or she was messing around with me? I had just told her what a monster this man was and she did not even care to find out what happened from me?Unless...No, there was no way in the world sh
JOEY'S POVIt was finally happening, the wet dreams I had been having for years now.And yet, it felt strangely uncomfortable.Wait, I should be happy, right? It was my Samantha desperately kissing me now and fondling at my belt but it just did not feel right.Perhaps, I had to confirm from her that this was really what she wanted or stop it. Strangely, the thought of stopping it felt right this time."Sam...Sam..." I was calling her just when she raised my shirt and was creating a ripple within me as she nibbled and kissed her way downward my torso.Her hand desperately grabbed what would have been my buttocks had I not been wearing jeans."Samantha...Sam, are you even listening to me?" I called her just as I pulled her hand away."Stop it, Joey. You're ruining the moment." She said and made for my nipple.I stopped her by putting my hand against her face and pushing her arms length away from me."I thought you wanted me." She cooed.I let off a sigh."Of course I do. I mean, I did."
SAMANTHA'S POVIt was all still very confusing to me.And it actually felt sad Joey did not want me. I mean, I felt bad but not as I did with Emilio cheating and misbehaving.I realised something now, I did still love Emilio and it had to take my best friend to realise that.Well, at least the cat was out of the bag and we both had our moments of truth.Joey and Rita, that must be really something knowing how back then the girl with the braces had been rejected severally by Joey.Emilio had called me right in front of him and I had to take his call."Samantha, I'm sorry." Was the first thing he said to me.And I wanted him to keep talking, so I remained shut after demanding what he wanted."I just want my wife back. I know now I'm an asshole and a sorry ass excuse of a husband, at least that's what the slaps I got proved to me but..." He was saying.I was actually about to cut him off and understand what he meant by slaps when Joey decided to rat on me.It was adorable how he had give
EMILIO'S POVI stood there, drinking her in and watching her.I could not really recall the last time I actually appreciated the beauty of her body. I mean, the last time had been in our crazy fights moments when I busted her.Hell, I have been such a fool not to have appreciated the woman right before me."God." I muttered and her ears perked up."What?" She asked me."You're so beautiful, Samantha." I said to her,"Emilio, that's so..." She said and made to rise up to come hold me."No. Just-just stay right there. I just want to look at you." I said and she laid back on the bed with a frustrated sigh."Now you're making me feel like the model of Mona Lisa when Leonardo was painting her. I bet he was staring like you are." She said to me,"I agree. You're my Mona Lisa." I said as my eyes fell on her chest."Anything else you need me to take off?" She asked me.This felt too good to believe. She had forgiven all my misdeeds like they never existed? Like they were sad stories I just to
MARIAH'S POVIt had been quite the time and I had been trying to cope with my job.The good natured woman, Linda, had been there beside me through thick and thin.It did not take long for her to figure that I was pregnant and I came clean. I had been expecting it would ruin things between us but she brought me so close that I felt like her family.The most recent holiday had been Thanksgiving day and she invited me over to meet with her family. There she introduced me to her daughter who apparently was married.Sadly, she and her husband had been trying for a while now but to no avail.I actually felt for them and prayed my little angel would make it.The last time I had contact with my brothers, I had reassured them that everything was alright with me and that was it.Today, I was home as I had been coming down from the weather which was not thanks to the baby. Whichever sex it was, it sure came with lots of morning sickness.By noon, I thought I should go to the grocery store and ge
EMILIO'S POVShe was asleep now and I could not get one wink of sleep. I had to watch her as I drew up comparisons on whatever I must have seen in Hailey that would make me leave Samantha for her.I truly must have been a fool.Samantha laid there, an effortless beauty while Hailey was....fine, the bottom line was Samantha was a timeless beauty.My phone started to ring and I looked at the strange number calling.Perhaps, Dominic had switched lines and I took it."Hello." I said coarsely into the phone.A little hesitation before I heard whoever it was exhale. She had been holding her breath."I was scared you would never pick up." She said to me,"Hailey?" I whispered as I started to make certain Samantha was still very much asleep."Yes. It is me, Emilio. The lover you abandoned." She responded."I warned you never to contact me again. What is all this?" I demanded."Do you hate me that much?" She asked me."Listen..." I started off hard and Samantha muttered in her sleep.I quickly
MARIAH'S POVMarco remained here after the kiss for some hours. He had tried getting touchy with me but I pulled away from him."What? What is it?" He asked me."Um.. nothing, really." I responded."Woah, wait. I'm good enough for you to kiss but not good enough to fuck you?" He demanded."That is not it. Marco you know that's not it." I chided."Then what is the problem?" He demanded."I'm cramping. You know how it gets for me." I responded."Cramping as in...?" He asked, raising his eyebrows suggestively."Yes. I've been having these really bad periods and currently this month's time." I said to him, grimacing.He looked at me motionless and emotionless for some time, which actually scared me and made me worried. I was beginning to think about what lie I would tell him.He remained like that for a minute, with the both of us looking into each other's eyes. That awkward minute felt like eternity to me and I tensed up.Suddenly, he started to laugh rather loudly and nonchalantly."Jes
SAMANTHA'S POVIt has been three days since our loving moment at the hotel and now we are back home.I must say that Emilio did in fact upset his wound eventually but that was all patched up with his doctor who confirmed his shoulder was beginning to heal.Now, we are set to be married again tomorrow. We already had fixed the date but I couldn't help but notice something was amiss.Emilio was hiding something and I could feel it. He was beginning to seem aloof and it had begun after I found him at the balcony naked.Several times I had tried to get him to speak to me but he still would insist everything was fine or lie it was something to do with work.But I know Emilio. I mean, I have loved him for long enough to know that work never bothered him really. Even if there was a setback, he would never worry because he always recovered in ten folds whatever he must have lost.I looked at him slowly diminishing from worry a lot and it really hurt me to find myself helpless to whatever this
SAMANTHA'S POVI walked in the hotel and was soon inside the elevator that took me upstairs where Zara was waiting for me.A few moments later and I was in front of the door, waiting for her to open by me she did not.Was everything okay?I called her again and it took a moment for her to pick."Yeah?" She asked."I don't know if you heard me earlier but I'm in front of the door." I said to her,"Oh, I know that." She responded."So, what's holding you?" I demanded."Anger." She responded.Seriously, this was all on purpose?"Zara, what has your anger got to do with opening the door?" I demanded."You left me here and goofed off to Tennessee at the mercy of... nevermind that. But buttomline is you didn't reach out to me." She responded.I had not missed the part of her asking me to not mind but I would certainly revisit that once I get inside."Zara, I'm sorry for the upteenth time." I said to her,"Sorry doesn't fix this." She responded."Does making me stand in front of the door lik
DOMINIC'S POVI opened my eyes and realised that I was strapped to a chair. I was in this damp and nearly dark room whose only illumination was from a half dead bulb.I realised that I was also gagged as a piece of clothing seemed to have been stuffed into my mouth and then another over my mouth.My hands were also bound behind me and then another set of ropes holding me in place on the chair.Taking in my surroundings now, I realised there were cartons of unknown stuff stacked around this place that was beginning to feel like a den for criminal stuff.Which if you ask me is not new for Emilio.I waited and soon realised now how uncomfortable I was. I could barely feel my fingertips and I needed to break free.I tried to make a sound but thanks to the gag stuffed in and over my mouth, only a muffled sound came out.I tried some more to make them louder but it was still the same.I needed to break free and explore these boxes to see what weapon I could find. I mean if this was a den, t
SAMANTHA'S POVI sat at the back seat of the car with my thoughts running quite deep and wide.Zara was already waiting for me at the hotel and we would be having company. A tear fell from my eyes as my thoughts were beginning to wander around the fact that Emilio had slept with Mariah.Of all persons, it had to be her. The young girl I had decided to help. Was there no limit to my dearest husband's sin?I mean, I could forgive a whole lot of things he keeps doing and throwing at me but this was way too much.The toxicity of my marriage was deafening and I needed more than cool down laps to settle this.I needed REVENGE!"Ma'am, we're here." The driver said to me,I had taken one of Emilio's younger bodyguards whom I could influence to take me in the Ford."Good. What's your name again?" I asked the youth.I was actually wondering when he had been hired as a dark thought fizzled up in my mind.I mean, if my husband was so capable of sleeping around with every Rom, Dick and Harry that
EMILIO'S POVI sat down feeling stressed already from all my activities on this day.It was all my fault and it took Alfredo staring at me from the rear view mirror for me to notice that we were not moving."Is there a precise reason why we are stopping?" I demanded."The traffic light, Sir." He responded.I looked up and realised we were at the intersection and were being halted by the red light."Ooh..." I muttered."Sir..." He called me again."Alfredo, what's it?" I demanded."You've been broody all day since we left the doctor's. Are you okay?" He asked me."Do I look like I'm anywhere close to being okay?" I asked him."Absolutely not but I know it's not my place..." He started and I felt offended."Yes. It's not your place." I responded."But we could both agree that I have more experience in this stuff than you do." He said.Wait, what was that right now? Was he indirectly trying to say he surpassed me in managing my home?I was beginning to feel angered."Thread with caution
EMILIO'S POVAll my hopes that I would slip through this one had just been shattered. Samantha definitely would not let this go and here I was, faced with either telling the truth or lying."Sam, she was sacked for being bad. Trust me when I say that she deserved it." I said to her,"I understand she did bad per say, I just want to know what exactly she did that had you sacking her." She said to me,Samantha had that look in her eyes like she was going to deal with me if I did not speak."Samantha, please." I said."So you're not going to tell me?" She asked me."Babe you need to understand..." I started to say."No. You don't have to." She said and I exhaled in relief."Really?" I asked her."Absolutely. Because, I would just ask her myself." She said and turned to reach for her phoneWhat? No way!That would spell doom for me and the fact that she would ruin everything for me."No...no...no!!! It's fine. I'll tell you." I said rather quickly.I had to tell her and the heavens help m
SAMANTHA'S POVFinally after such a long while, Emilio was finally fit to travel although with a sling. Every attempt by the doctor to have him keep that hand in place has always been in vain, hence the sling.Trust me, Emilio did not find that funny in one bit. Nevertheless , he had to agree.In the two where we had stayed here, I had seen him cling to Ma'am Jacqueline like a son would his mother. He formed a sort of friendship with Joey although I knew that was all because Joey had someone now.I have never seen George or Kourtney since the hotel scene. I mean, they sure as hell deserved each other.Ma'am Jacqueline had grown so fond of my husband whom if we all could reckon, she detested at first."You'll come visiting, right?" Lady Florence asked."Hell yes, they do. Or I'll smack the hell out of them." Ma'am Jacqueline threatened lovingly."We would. At every chance we get." Emilio responded."And you'll be good to our Samantha?" Lady Florence asked yet again."Absolutely. I have
HAILEY'S POVPeople would always say to stay away from things that are not yours but I knew it would only be a moment before Emilio would be mine.I was already successfully pregnant and now I had the very ammunition to get into his life forever.I had a couple of friends in the club and everyone attested that he was not around. In fact, it could be speculated he was out of town.Another good friend of mine that was in a relationship with one of his bodyguards said she heard he was ill or injured. It was hard to say whichever it was.However, I had every reason to believe it was the fault of his bitchy wife and her desire to ruin him. Probably, it was because he found love with me and the heavens alone knows what she has on him.Emilio loves me and just me alone.Samantha was the intruder.But not for long. I would fight for him because I deserved all that wealth and affluence.I was getting ready today to get to the doctor's as I had an appointment. From there, I would go pick up one
MARIAH'S POVI spent the night after Marco had left browsing on how to someone and get away with it. I also did a little search on getting rid of a body after murder.Trust me, the more I searched, the darker my thoughts became. I had no idea that I could be this dangerous except now that my freedom had been threatened.I could not let him assume control over me because knowing Marco, soon, he would want to start pimping me out like he did with his girlfriends.He might have promised to keep my secret but he was unstable like a waving flag. He would use me up and whenever he feels he has no further use for me or he gets bored, he would have my elder brother down here.I feel restless now.I had caused more than enough arm to Madam Samantha and her husband. She might not know yet but it was still going to be really bad when it happens.Or should I just move again? I mean, even after furnishings and stuff, I still had a pretty much decent amount of cash sitting in my bank account which
TOM'S POV"Woman, you're scaring me right now." I said to Zara for the second time since she got off that call.Her emotions were a mixture of both excitement and danger. I was beginning to wonder what Samantha had told her."You're scared darling?" Zara asked me."Absolutely." I responded."Does that entail that you did something wrong in any form?" She asked me."Absolutely not. You know me, sweetie. I would not hurt a fly." I said, smiling to show impact."Right. You wouldn't but your friend would." She pointed out."My friend?" I asked her."Yeah. Do you remember him? He used to be married to my friend, then they broke up and now married again. The friend you were coming up with while I was unconscious." She explained.I know right from the start that she was referring to Emilio and man, if I set eyes on that dude, I would kill him.Upon waking and realising how we made up, Zara was really angry. She had been expecting me to put up more fights before settling with him.Like I mean
