During the dinner, Sam and Claude played the perfect couple in love, fawning over one another, even putting food in each other's mouth, feeding one another and giggling.

They frustrated everyone in there with their antics.

And of course, with a dinner of such high and mighty people, there's bound to be some gossip the next day.

It rocked the business world that Claude has settled down.

Not only them, every beautiful female who ever had eyes on him aand of course, his employees who were all throwing the "I told you so" line with reference to the closeness between the two the day before.

Although, that morning seemed perfect...

Sam opens her eyes dramatically, her clothes missing from her body and she's covered in a big white blanket in a completely unrecognizable room.

"Are you really this bothered?" He inquires, his hand supporting his chin.Taylor looks at him, her expression masked, except the anger. "Yes, I am that bothered. How did she manage to get a man like..." She glances at Mark and stops short."A man like...?""I mean, Mr Whyte is too good for her don't you think? She must have seduced him or something. I still can't believe her proposed to her so publicly. Let me tell you something, their marriage is already doomed."Mark cocks his head to the side. "She didn't break the glass at your feet yesterday did she? You did it yourself to grab attention and make her look bad. I knew Sam before I knew you and she absolutely hates confrontations. She didn't break the glass."Taylor scoffs. "So, you're believing her over me?""I'm just stating the

    Later that day, Claude returns home and meets the place empty.Samantha had left before he returned.He sighs and goes back to the living room to take a seat, worried for her sake.What could the woman have done to deserve such hate? Not only from her own family now but almost everyone around her.Thinking of that, he dials Elena. "Yes sir?""Where's the footage I asked you to analyze and get for me?""I had it on top of your desk today but since you were not in...""Send it to me now."While waiting, he goes to get a glass of water from his kitchen and sees a memo stuck on his fridge.Smiling slightly, he plucks it off the cold metal and reads it."Thank you very much for everything. I guess I'll see you again..." Signed "your fiancee."He laughs, his mood boosted up ten times.He grabs his phone, muttering to himself. "I need to make some calls and urgent changes before work begins next week."While he's furiously typing on his phone, he receives a video message from Elena which he

    For a particular female, the night was a hectic one, didn't get good sleep and then was haunted by full images of herself, drugged and completely out of it, dressed in a pink gown, short hair bouncing in every direction, walking down a hallway to the wrong room, admiring a strange man's husky voice while thinking of her fiancee and passing out right under him.What used to be a nightmare.Samantha wakes up with a jerk, sweaty all over even though the windows are open and the room is cool.Her eyes go straight to the clock on the wall and it's already eight thirty am. "Shit."First word of the day, is a curse word. Can the day get any better? Now that she knows fully well that the man that always lurked at the back of her mind, always seeming familiar and distant at the same time, is her boss and the same man that the whole world knows she is engaged to.The same man who managed to show up everytime she's going through a moment, embarrassing or not.In an hour, she's sitting down at

    Claude glances at her through the rear view mirror. "I don't know actually. I just didn't feel like."Sam dips her hand into her bag and produces a tie clip with a platinum lion and an almost illegible carved name. "C.W. I don't know why I never thought it could have been you. I've kept it since then, it was the only thing I had left from that... Unfortunate night.""Unfortunate?""That same night then into the next day, I lost many things. My family, my integrity, my name.""Let me ask you one thing, don't you think sooner or later, you would have lost them?"Sam frowns. "What do you mean by that?""Isn't it better that you found out before the marriage? What if you caught Mark and Taylor later when you're married? Won't that be worse?""Hm. I never thought of it that way but you're right. I should be happy for all I've got now right?"Claude smiles. "In plain words, be happy you have me. My name will replace the one you lost."Samantha laughs. "You know you can be a proud little nar

    The five-star hotel in Los Angeles was full of celebrities. Tonight was the engagement feast for the MF Enterprise's Mark Fisher and Stiles Group second daughter, Samantha Stiles." Mark?... Which room is it?" Before the wedding ceremony, Samantha was dizzy and left the banquet hall.Samantha pressed a phone to her ear as she walked out of the hall, on a call to her fiancee."6607." Mark's voice was cold on the phone, as if he had held back the love he had for her in the past."Evelyn has asked me that are you trying to give me a surprise before our engagement?" Samantha's cheeks were covered with a cute pink blush, and her little face flushed from the drinking. "...Do you want me to be yours first? But our first time should be saved until we get married. Anyway, we waited for two years. " Samantha continues, her voice slightly slurred, obviously she was tipsy."I'm not kidding you, come up quickly."Mark hung up.Couldn't he wait for getting her, so impatient...Samantha blinked. She

    Samantha had dreamed last night that she was being run over and over again by a big truck!"Ouch..." After she woke up, she slowly sat up, feeling that her entire body was about to fall apart. "What's wrong with me?"Her eyes fluttered, looking around, then looking at herself.When she looked down, her clothes were gone!After her brain was stunned for a while, the memories of yesterday's wedding feast flooded in, as well as the call from Mark to ask her to go to a certain room... After that, what about the wedding?Samantha immediately got out of bed and prepared to get dressed. “Oh, no, no. How's the wedding going right now? Won't my family be worried?”Suddenly, when she got out of bed, she fell on the carpet."Ah..." She cried out with a pale face, twisted in pain.When she raised her head, she saw that in front of her was the unfamiliar luxurious presidential suite.She still had some vague memories of yesterday's situation, but she didn't remember very clearly. She only remember

The same family that was fawning over her not up to twenty four hours before?Samantha kept moving and turning over and over again. When food delivery came in the afternoon, she didn't open the door for them to come in because, partly she had not even heard the door ring and food was most certainly the last thing on her mind at that moment.Towards the evening, she stands up from the bed, wears her pink gown again from the night before and sets out to get answers to her questions and truths to what seems to be lies at the moment.She earnestly wishes it's all just a silly prank that would be over as soon as she shows up at home. That her family will all just laugh

You let them walk over you ever opportunity they get. How is that worth anything? You're not planning on getting any revenge?

He brings out a pair of white gloves and puts them on.He sees Sam watching and he smiles slightly. "Wondering what it is for? Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. I don't like to publish it either."Samantha wonders what he's talking about but doesn't have to for long as it's their turn to get off the car. "Stay in here, I'll open the door for us both."

She decided she'd rather give it to them by herself than mail it.Samantha tucks her hair behind her ear once more and grabs her bag and iPad.She's still going to the party as his secretary so she has to be official and dressed to perfection.Elena had told her she looked perfect earlier but she's still n
