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
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 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
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
At noon, the land was covered in darkness, dark clouds hang dangerously on the sky. From a distance, the sound of thunder could be heard. It was in such a moment filled with turmoil that Samantha stood in front of a huge chapel with a bouquet of flowers in her hands which she clutched tightly. She glanced up at the building filled with emotions, her eyes tearing up. This was the place that would determine her fate." Please Samantha, let's go inside, it's about to rain," Herald pleaded."But dad, you know that I don't want this, how could you, my father let me marry someone even older than you. I'm just nineteen years dad," Samantha said with her tears falling freely." We have already talked about this dear, this isn't the end, you can always file for a divorce when our company is finally up and running. I hate to do this to you but there isn't any other way. My child, I'm begging you, don't let our company go to ruins," Herald pleaded." Alright dad, if this is what you want from me
Finally getting off the suffocating car, she stood infront of a huge mansion as she glanced around. A train of cars parked by, neatly trimmed flowers, and the building, magnificent in its own way.Samantha was lost in admiring the all too beautiful surrounding that she didn't notice Eliot take his step up the stairs." Show her to her room," Eliot said to Carmen, the housekeeper who had gone to receive them back.Samantha had her back turned against the two as she admired the long drive they had come through. She felt already lost in the vast estate seeing the gate a distance off." Miss Reeda please let me escort you to your room," Carmen said respectfully.Eliot stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He turned around in an instant and stared hard at Carmen." Never should you mention that name in this household ever again," Eliot said in a stern voice before he took long steps and entered the house.Samantha's attention was drawn back as she stared at the two. She heard a gasp fro
Inside Samantha's room, she had stuffed a few of her clothes into a small back pack in a hurry. With all the essentials, she hurried for the door. At the same time Dorca pushed the door to her room with much force as it flew open. Samantha was hit on the face before she staggered backwards and dropped on the bed." Where do you think you are going you stupid fool. How could you go against me?" Dorca yelled angrily, her mouth breathing fire." Why are you so upset aunt?" Samantha said slowly rising from the bed, her gaze fixed on those blazing eyes of Dorca."Didn't you say that Boris would make the perfect husband for me? Now that your daughter won him for herself, you are still mad. Aren't you going to be swimming in millions now, isn't that what you wanted, to sell me so that you can maintain your fake lifestyle. No wonder my dad didn't marry you but chose my mother, you are such a shameless and despicable woman." Samantha said angrily as she held her forehead that was swollen by n
Herald alighted from his car and hurried into the mansion. He could hear the happy laughter of Dorca and her friends coming in from the pool area. He shook his head in regret as he headed for the stairs. If what Mr. Eliot said was true then Samantha must still be within the mansion. Getting into Samantha's room, he knocked on the door but there wasn't any response. He tried to unlock the door, but it was locked." Samantha..are you in there?" Herald asked, his voice laced with concern." Please let me in, let's talk," Herald pleaded." Dad.." Samantha's exhausted voice came through followed by loud sobs." Samantha, what's happening to you? Please let me in," Herald said." I've been locked inside, dad please get me out of here," Samantha cried. In a long time she hadn't cried before her dad, but she couldn't hold back all the pain burning into her soul." What! Hang on in there, I'm getting you out," Herald said before he made long strides along the corridors to the balcony overlooki

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
