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 was wiping the dishes now when Emilio, who was hovering around the kitchen, came to grab me around the waist."I'm still working." I said to him,"You could leave it to them. They would attend to it while I need my wife's attention." He said to me,"Wife-to-be you mean?" I reminded him and I felt him tense up."Well, can my wife-to-be come into the bedroom then?" He asked me."How about you go up and let me finish here?" I asked him and he turned to face me."Sam, something is wrong. What is it?" He asked me."Nothing. Just go upstairs." I said to him and tried to return my attention to the dishes."No. You cannot give me that." He said and took both the towel and dish I had been holding and set them on the work island.Next, Emilio looked deep into my eyes as though he could find answers there."Samantha, we promised each other. No more secrets, remember?" He demanded.I felt stupid right now and cornered. So the no more secrets rule did stand and yet, he was here ke
EMILIO'S POV"You may now kiss the bride." The wedding officiator said and I did.I kissed those lips I had always been fond of before those she loved and I had come to love.However, I could not help but notice that there was something different about my Samantha now. She had attained this aura that sort of prickled at me.My attitude had successfully changed her from the soft woman I used to know and now into this hard one.I could vividly recall most of her demands the night before after we had our little conversation.I could say something in all, Samantha had changed and I had reasons to be scared.It was like having a knife pointed at my back should I make one more mistake and somehow, that felt absolutely right.She had asked the doctor this morning before we came here when I would be fit to travel by air and she was given next week.Samantha then demanded I prepare a party for us to celebrate us renewing our vows.I had been against that initially but eventually, I succumbed.
DOMINIC'S POVIt had been days since I spoke to Emilio and I was beginning to tire out living like an outcast.I needed my freedom once again and right now, I was staying with Drew and his crew members as they referred to themselves.It was really annoying because I could see how they had begun leeching off me. It was clear I was beginning to take care of nearly every issue in the house.It was the ghetto. I was the only one looking like I was out of the world but then I was safe.Or as Drew would put it, "You're safe here, man. No one would hurt you without the permission of the street lord." He said to me,I had to take him in good faith and this I came to understand was the reason why I did not bother about how he was leeching off me.There was always an issue and his family was always having urgent issues to resolve.I could not say a word but I could see my account draining.He announced to everyone that were within his trusted circle that I was a big lawyer prompting them to lee
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
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
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
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
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
