" I can't believe you could do this to me Adrian, how could you?" Reeda cried as she ran after him. She hit him on the back even as he carried Leez inside the car." I don't have time for this Reeda, will you please stop," Adrian said angrily and shoved her aside as he opened the driver's seat. He couldn't risk loosing his child just for her.Reeda hit the car window trying to stop him but he sped off. Reeda quickly followed after him driving at full speed. Her hair was in a mess, her make up ruined as she wailed painfully inside the car.Reeda couldn't believe it, she had let go of everything, betrayed the man who had nothing but loved her dearly, just so that Adrian could betray her. All this time he was married.Reeda drove fast after Adrian not loosing sight of him.Adrian had taken an abrupt turn making Reeda spin her wheels unplanned following after him, she however lost control of her vehicle as she almost hit an on coming vehicle which resulted into her veering off the road an
" Grandma Dora, I'll leave for a while, I'll get some fresh supplies from the market to prepare food for Eliot once he returns," Samantha said to Grandma Dora who was sitting on the dining table." Won't you have breakfast with me Samantha, it's still too early," " I'll be back soon grandma, it's just an hour to the fresh food market," " Alright dear, but take Carmen with you, I'm sure she can show you the best place to pick them up," " No need grandma Dora, I know my way around the market. Haven't I told you that I used to prepare food for my family, I know all the corners for the best vegetables," " Sure Samantha, I'll just have breakfast at the balcony today, at least I won't be lonely there enjoying the warm morning sun." " I'll be back before you know it grandma." Samantha said and picked a basket from the kitchen before she headed out.At Meridian hospital, Adrian just returned to visit his wife and kid. He had to balance between his busy schedule at the company with taking
Samantha had been condemned into a dark room for two days with no food nor water. Eliot was surely going to do everything to ensure that she rots in the cell when she did nothing wrong.Samantha had cried herself to sleep and up again till she couldn't cry anymore. Who would come to her rescue?A guard unlocked the door to her cell and she struggled to see through the bright light." Mrs Dantes, you are free to go," the guard said.Samantha suddenly sat up unable to believe it. Eliot must have found out the truth. Surely he must have realised that she couldn't hurt grandma Dora.Samantha walked feebly out of the cell. She was hungry, thirsty and exhausted, but the thought that Eliot forgave her to have her released gave her hope and so she walked out.Once outside the police station, she glanced around but couldn't spot Eliot, not even his car was anywhere in the parking area.She turned back to the officer who had her released and asked who processed her release.The officers pointed
Samantha woke up in the middle of the night to find herself covered in a warm duvet. She glanced around in the darkness but couldn't see a thing. She got up the bed and almost fell to the ground. A low gasp that escaped her lips woke up Karl who was half asleep on the couch.He switched on the lights to see Samantha struggling to get her way around." Karl!" Samantha exclaimed." You up already? Do you need anything?" Karl asked." I just need to use the bathroom," Karl pointed to the bathroom behind her. Sam came out seconds later and stood in the middle of the room staring at her outfits. She was dressed in his shirt and a pair of shorts." Don't worry, it wasn't me that got you changed, my maid did that," Karl explained.Samantha relaxed a bit." Come, you should eat something. You were so tired so I didn't want to wake you up to eat," Karl said and held her hand.He led her out through the long hallway and down the stairs. The house seemed too big for one man, everything beautifu
Samantha sat quietly in the car and glanced out through the window. She wasn't ready to talk with him. She was supposed to handle things alone. She had to show Eliot that she wouldn't allow him treat her like that, but it seemed she was too weak to even protect herself." You need to prepare yourself for the shooting of the series. You know that your life won't stop just because of the baseless accusations. And Sam, please don't worry about Eliot, let me deal with him. By tomorrow everything shall be fine," Karl said.Samantha just stared out through the window. They were now back in town. The car stopped Infront of a high-rise building.Karl got out and held his hand out for her. The two climbed into the elevator silently till it stopped at the last floor.Karl took out a card from his pocket and placed it in her hands." You'll stay here for the time being. Please don't go back to Eliot just yet. He will only hurt you. Trust me in this, everything will soon come to an end," Eliot sa
Next day at Sarov hotel where the shooting of the scenes would take place, Samantha put on dark glasses as she drove into the hotel. She used a car that Karl had delivered to her earlier on. She could see several reporters waiting by the entrance and thanked heavens they didn't recognise the car she used.Getting into the shooting venue, several crew members glanced at her, others whispering as she went. She didn't bother and walked up to Erika who was busy with her scripts by the window." Erika.." Samantha called." Sam...you really here?" Erika jumped up in excitement and embraced her She glanced up at her from head to toes." How are you dear? What's really happening to you?" Erika asked." That's a lot to ask Erika, but as you can see, I'm fine, I've to proceed with the shoot," Samantha said.It was at that time that Ethan walked in. He gave a deadly stare at the crew and the actors present making them pretend to be busy. He walked over to the two who were busy chatting." It's
" Alright sir. I did something really stupid. I got into an argument with his grandmother, she accidentally fell down the stairs. I really didn't mean for her to die," Camille said as tears began to stream down her face." What! You really killed her," Nosh said." I really didn't mean to Nosh, she just let go of my hands and fell. I didn't plan any of it," Camille said." Okay, I wont judge you Camille. I promised to help you with him, and that's what I'm going to do," Nosh said and glanced up at his driver who immediately shot off at a fast speed.The three cars were involved in a heated chase in the middle of the town till they were able to loose him.Eliot cursed hard. He couldn't wait to catch her and squeeze the life out of her." Boss, the guards just called, Carmen has woken up," Alex reported." Drive to the hospital," Eliot said.Minutes later Eliot rushed out of the elevator into the room where Carmen had been moved into." Sir," Carmen called weakly as she extended her han
The uneventful drive led back to the mansion where Samantha had experienced the worst treatment. The feeling of his belt on her skin was still fresh even as she stepped back into the house few minutes past nine.Eliot hadn't let go of Samantha's hand and only let go when he pushed her down to the couch.It was just the two of them in the mansion.Eliot stood over her with his overbearing height as he glanced down at her with disgust." Go and wash away that man's filthy scent from your body. Then you can prepare my dinner," Eliot ordered and sat on the couch.Samantha wanted to refuse but looking at him, he was ready for a battle. Samantha knew she couldn't take any more beating when she had to grace the screens.She obediently got up and walked up the stairs that seemed strange to her. She opened the door to their bedroom. Everything was still in place just as she left them few days back. She walked around, checked the closet, everything was good.She entered the shower for a second
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
