The day for burial had at last arrived. Samantha sat next to Camille at the cemetery. She had forced back her tears as she stared at everyone around, especially at her husband. She hadn't forgiven him yet. He had refused to help her before, yet he had wanted to pour all the money he had for the hospital bill plus the funeral expenses .Samantha had refused him forthright, but that didn't stop him, in the end he did everything his way, taking care of everything. All these time he organised everything with her sister Camille while she was pushed aside.Just the previous day Samantha had a fight with Camille since she had refused any help from Eliot,but who was she, the oldest one of course. She went behind her back and excluded her from the funeral arrangements. Samantha just sat there as a log while Camille took over her husband taking care of everything.Her best friend, the only family she could turn to was about to be lowered five feet down. Her uncles and aunts chose to distance
At Starlight entertainment company, Adrian stood by the window in his office staring out as he puffed out cigarettes. He had an amazing view of the city from one of the tallest buildings in the town, the flickering lights from every corner calming his head as he organised his thoughts.So far he had been able to keep the company afloat. An investor had suddenly appeared and poured in enormous amount of money keeping his company from going under. He however had to work hard and ensure that Eliot won't prevail the next time he tried to mess with his company.It was such a shame he had lost such a huge deal that would have reeked in billions of dollars into his company.He had to come up with new strategies. The one with Reeda didn't work especially since Eliot wasn't affected at all, he even got married on the same day. The news of being left on the altar didn't even make it to the top media houses as expected. It was as though he did nothing but score an own goal being stuck with Re
" Hi Samantha. Surprised to see me? Well, I called you a dozen times and requested that you help me out, but you just won't listen to me. Remember I told you that our house was being auctioned earlier on today, but you refused to help me out. But your husband here was kind enough to let me stay with you guys before I find myself a place. I must say your mansion is really beautiful," Camille said and gave Samantha a smirk before she turned to Eliot and smiled at him." What are you even talking about Camille? When did you call me?" " Samantha, let's first get inside, you two can talk later," Eliot said." But Eliot, she is lying to you, she didn't call me at all," Samantha said." It doesn't matter Samantha, she is already here. You should at least welcome your sister to our home," Eliot said and walked in. Samantha stared at Camille who walked past her as she concealed her laugh with her fingers." Sam, Carmen said you had a surprise for me?" Eliot asked immediately he sat on the c
Samantha walked beside her husband elated for the first time. They arrived up the stairs and Eliot swept her off her feet and carried her bridal style. " I'm sorry I hadn't done this sooner," Eliot whispered into her her ears.The warmth of his breath made Samantha shiver slightly." You did it now, it couldn't be more perfect if it's coming from deep down your heart." Eliot pushed opened the door to their room and dropped her to bed." You smell so nice, did you take a shower just recently" Eliot said."Sure I did shower after I finished cooking. I couldn't serve you all sweaty from the heat, but It's you who really smells nice, you know every day I always want to know the cologne you put on, but you've never given me the chance to. It's so intoxicating," " Do you always yearn to be closer to me? Eliot asked as he lay on top of her supporting himself with his elbow.Samantha's cheeks reddened in embarrassment.She had craved for his presence in her life, and right now everything
Camille quickly showered and put on her work outfit. She walked up the stairs into Samantha's room. She knocked but no one answered. She pushed the door at once and entered. Her mouth hang open unable to believe the beauty and sparkle of everything in the room. Her eyes caught sight of the walk-in closet which she quickly checked out. Several expensive dresses hang beautifully, and the designer handbags, the shoes. Camille couldn't believe her eyes. Was Samantha that rich now. She spotted Eliot's clothes lined beside Samantha's, they were so cool and fresh, almost as though they were worn by a god himself.Camille walked backwards as she stared still in disbelief." Camille..what are you doing in my bedroom?" Samantha's stern voice brought her to the present." I'm sorry Samantha, I knocked but you didn't answer. I can't believe all these belong to you now," " Why wouldn't you believe it Camille? Is it hard for you to accept that, I Samantha who was once a maid could own all these?"
While Samantha and the entire crew busied themselves with the scripts in preparation for the upcoming filming, Camille had been stuck in a meeting with important investors and shareholders in the company.She was on the receiving end of the heat when clearly thousands of dollars had been mismanaged from the company accounts resulting into their precarious situation.She had been forced to explain, and give them assurance that they would get their money back else they sue the company.Camille literally screamed when the meeting was over and was finally at her office. No matter how hard she tried to convince them of the upcoming deal, no one truly believed her.She was just exhausted with all that, yet one thing she had been unable to solve, getting the necessary shares for Mr. Barclays. Camille scratched her head in frustration. The shareholders at the company weren't willing to let go of their shares. They had promised to sink with the company should that be it's fate. " Such useles
Samantha arrived home when it was almost dark. She felt exhausted from the torturous experience earlier on. She breathed out loud knowing that the first filming a success, Samantha couldn't help but replay the director's approval in her mind. Actually she shouldn't fear anything. She had acted under more stressful conditions, where she gave her best but was always suppressed, but now that she worked for a professional company, she had better put her acts together.Getting into the house, Samantha could hear voices in the house. She was sure it wasn't Camille since she had spotted her car drive into Sarov hotel earlier,Eliot couldn't be back as well.She entered the living room only to see an old woman, probably in her eighties seated on the couch, she was just closing her eyes when she spotted Samantha." Samantha, is that you?" The woman said happily." Yes grandma, I'm Samantha," " Nice to finally meet you my granddaughter. Please forgive me, I was at the hospital when you had a fu
Samantha woke up to a call early in the morning. She quickly opened her email to find a copy of the script sent to her. She couldn't believe it, she had been given a new role after all. She quickly went over it, already loving the part she would play. If it came to memorizing content she was a hundred percent perfect.In just two hours, most of the opening chapters were already flowing in her brain like a river.She had a shower before heading over to the location of the days shoot. She had ensured to check out if Grandma Dora was alright. With everything perfect, she drove off happily.Camille on the other hand rose up early to the company. She had received an email stating various changes to the company's management.She was the CEO for goodness sake, such information should have come from her. Camille's heart boiled as she walked to the company.The entrance to the company was empty except for the guards.She was informed to join the others already in the conference room.Camille'
Samantha rolled her eyes as she walked to the window. If he only knew what she had done, obviously all hell would break loose." You should eat , come, I'll accompany you" Eliot offered. The two walked downstairs where the maids had laid up the table. Eliot hadn't removed his clothes." You plan to leave again," " Yes, I'm actually waiting for something," Eliot responded. Samantha could see just how impatient he was." Is it about my sister?"" That shouldn't concern you Samantha. But hey, has she contacted you?" Samantha shook her head in denial and drank the glass of juice almost emptying it. She couldn't afford to say those lies to him." What do you plan to do with her, should you find her?" " Didn't I tell you not to bother about what I intend to do with her. But I you insist, I'll have to find her, take her right back in jail and make sure she would never see the light of the day. No one ever crossed me and escaped twice." Eliot tried on the food and dropped his fork. The ra
The next morning, the entire nation was woken up by the sudden news about the murder of the renowned businessman Nosh Barclays who was found in his car having a bullet logged in his forehead. The detectives described it as a well planned crime since the suspects didn't miss it's target. Only one bullet had been used that killed him instantly. His driver was in a critical condition after losing control of the vehicle and hitting a tree.Samantha who walked down the stairs to get herself a glass of water was met by the disturbing news about Nosh's death. Just last night she had shared with Eliot the fact that Nosh was behind the accident that killed her father. He was visibly pissed about it all, but he managed to hide his feelings as they headed home last night. No one would want Nosh dead apart from her and Eliot, and of course Camille who was still in jail.Karl wouldn't do it especially after what had transpired between them back then, or what it his way of seeking her apology b
Three days after officially taking over operations at Starlight Company, Leez decided that it was best to have the company help her celebrate her birthday. Her issues with Adrian were almost getting resolved after they had successfully filled for a divorce. The only thing that remained was sharing their property which would take time. Leez felt a new kind of peace and comfort that she had lacked for over a year now and no better words could describe her feelings.She had a new kind of glow that everyone that she interacted with in the business circle couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.Getting back into the corporate world wasn't easy, but her associates and friends from before were ready to support her, almost as though they had been waiting for her return. No that she was back, the world better be ready.The company hall was decorated extravagantly with expensive cocktails and wines being served. Every kind of snacks you could think of was served.Several dignitaries had been
The sky was slowly opening up when Samantha woke up from her peaceful sleep. She stared around her to realize that she was still in the jet , but the warm bed, she hadn't noticed last night when they boarded or when she went to sleep.She walked into the bathroom to wash her face. Everything was quiet. She decided to get out to find Eliot. She was immediately captured by the beautiful rays of the rising sun, more so the breathtaking scenery of the clear waters, the white sand, the green trees on the other side, everything about the little island beautiful as they sea stretched out endlessly.She still hadn't spotted Eliot in the vast space.Samantha glanced up to see a grand mansion up a small hill and couldn't help but want to go check it out. Just then she spotted Eliot walking by the shores as he headed for her.Samantha smiled widely meeting him half way." I'm happy that you got impressed by everything, seeing the obvious light in your eyes," " I must admit dear, this place is
At the hospital, Samantha slowly regained consciousness and registered at once that she was at the hospital. She quickly held her tummy afraid that she had lost her baby after what happened.Just then Eliot's worried face appeared before her line of sight . She dreaded the thought that it wasn't him that had rescued her from Karl . Just how did he get to her that fast. Samantha just remembered she had received a text from Eliot earlier on just before the interview but figured she'd read it after getting done with the show." How are you feeling?" Eliot said amidst his gritted teeth. He was angry but tried to hold back. Samantha closed her eyes when she saw his hand held into a fist.Samantha turned her eyes to face the wall." Damn you Samantha, how could you?" Eliot burst out hitting hard the metallic bed.Samantha was shaken not wanting to look at him in the eye." How could you let a man into your room , alone at night? Didn't I warn you against him Samantha. What were you really
One month later.Samantha was before the renowned journalist P White as he interviewed her. P White show was watched by audiences all over the world, and Samantha's image was trending all over the internet with show being streaming by millions of viewers, those who had no idea about who she really was asking several questions.Samantha had taken the entertainment industry by storm, everyone excited by her unique skills, but her real identity hidden from the public. Eliot had done more to wipe off every trace of negative publicity about his wife online, but there were people who already had the information and couldn't help but find information to bring her down or probably shame her just to see her reaction." Miss Samantha, I can't help but want to ask more about your private life. Our viewers too would like to get to know the real you, thousands of commentators asking about who you really are." " That is okay White. I think I should clarify everything before my fans get the wrong
At what was previously known as Starlight entertainment company, Leez made her grand entry through the main entrance as she glanced around, her head held high, her sophisticated look catching the staff with awe. The company employees stared at her in recognition and immediately began whispering amongst themselves behind their desks.The company's real owner and CEO's long awaited return finally arrived.She was beautiful, her hair combed nicely to the back, a silver clutch bag in her hand that matched her black body hugging dress. One couldn't easily tell that she recently had a baby.As she walked past them , everyone bowed their heads to their desks, apparently busy with work.With Leez in the elevator, Marion, the company's biggest gossip jumped from her desk to her friend Jacky who immediately smiled at her knowing the hot gossip her friend just prepared. The whole room suddenly burst into noise from the whispers." Jacky....didn't I warn you, that the day would finally arrived,
Two days later, inside a cold room, Camille groaned as she turned to lie on her left side, her body burned up in pain. She had woken up from her nightmare to find herself imprisoned yet again. All she knew was that she was out of Nosh's clutch, but who had rescued her only to imprison her yet again , he could only be one person, Eliot.She spotted an iron plate that had dried rice on it. She slowly extended her arm to pick it only for the door to the room to open up suddenly with the lights blinding her eyes." You haven't eaten, it seems we've been too good to you Camille, taking our hospitality for granted," one of the men said." How pathetic, to see you this week and vulnerable, when all you do is kill innocent people," Arnold said staring down at her with disgusting. She was smelly all over, having not taken a bath for god knows how long.Camille didn't bother to respond and picked up the food and scooped it with her dirty bare hands, her throat was dry but she managed to swallo
" What do you want from me? What have I done against you Nosh to treat me like an animal?" Camille shouted once the tape was removed from her mouth." What would I want from you? Of course it's to pay with your life. You killed my father. I had you imprisoned,but you managed to escape after your brother in law rescued you. But now that you killed his grandmother, who shall be the one to rescue you this time," Nosh said as his eyes turned dangerously red. He just wanted to squeeze the life out of her and kill her already. But the satisfaction he felt seeing her in so much pain.The heartbreak and betrayal Camille felt made him feel a little satisfied.Camille glanced up at him not believing that he of all people could be so heartless. He seduced her, took away her company, he even turned her mad,but that didn't seem to be enough." That bastard was your father? No one you are just like him, a bastard and useless man who only finds pleasure in harming women," A heavy kick landed on Ca
