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.

    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

    Samantha and Eliot arrived back at the mansion when it was getting dark. The two had stayed quiet all through the long ride, and Samantha couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her stranger husband's mind. The fact that her dad already knew him made her worry less, but still, he should at least say something.Not a word till they entered the mansion.Carmen had been quick to receive them and tried as much to hide the horror on her face when she saw Samantha's body all bruised up." Next time I won't be the one to save you," She heard Eliot say before he had taken long strides up the stairs. Samantha swallowed hard as she stared at his departing figure. She should be glad, he had saved her from her step mother, but his coldness was something that sent shivers down her spine." My lady, please have a bath while I prepare your dinner," Carmen said respectfully.Samantha only nodded as she went in to her room.Her body arched all over, the warm water and bathing soap bit painfully

    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."

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.
