CHAPTER 4

Samantha walked into the club and headed towards Karl's office.

Karl wasn't really her uncle he was a good friend of her father. She and Emma were used to calling him 'Uncle'.

"Sam? I wasn't expecting you." Karl said.

"Uncle I need your help." Samantha said not caring about formalities.

"With?"

"It's Emma she was diagnosed with leukemia. Uncle she's going to die if she doesn't get surgery." Samantha said.

Karl ruffled his hair this was a though choice. Emma was the real daughter of the household while Samantha was adopted.

He couldn't let his friend's daughter die right that was too much what was the point of being friends when you couldn't help when you have the means to.

"I'm sorry Samantha." Karl said.

"Uncle why are you doing this?" Samantha asked.

"I have to go." Samantha said leaving. And Karl didn't stop her even though he felt really guilty and he wanted to help.

Alexander made himself really clear. He shouldn't get involved or help her.

Karl sighed, he doomed his goddaughter to death.

Samantha thought of one other person that could help.

She headed to her mansion and the servants let her in after informing their boss that she was here.

"Samantha what do you want?" Valerie asked.

"Aunt I really need your help." Samantha replied.

"With what?"

"It's Emma she's in the hospital she needs surgery." Samantha said.

"I don't have any money to spare." Valerie said coldly.

"Aunt how can you be so cold and heartless?"

"Cold and heartless?" Valerie asked with a scoff.

"Well Samantha you better leave I don't have a penny to spare." Valerie said without even sparing her a glance.

"But aunt I'm not the one in need of the surgery Emma is, and she is your niece. Aunt she has leukemia she would die if she doesn't get help." Samantha said.

"Well I don't care Samantha she's your responsibility now. It's the least you could do after my brother adopted and raised you all these years." Valerie said nonchalantly.

"Find a way to save Emma I don't care." Valerie said.

Samantha hated the woman in front of her. She was so mean and cruel although she wasn't always like this.

Samantha was on her way out of Valerie's mansion when she bumped into someone.

"I'm Sor..." Her words stuck in her throat when she saw who it was. She just walked passed him without even apologizing.

"I see Samantha came, what does she want?" The man asked with a straight face.

"She wants money to help cure Emma." Valerie replied.

"What's wrong with her?" He asked.

"According to Samantha she has leukemia."

"What? I hope you didn't agree to help her?" He asked.

"Of course not I turned her away immediately." Valerie replied and the man kissed her on her lips.

"Sir." Jordan called out.

"What is it?" Alexander asked.

"It's Miss Pierce." Jordan said.

"What about her?"

"Her little sister is currently in the hospital." Jordan said

"What's wrong with her?"

"She has leukemia sir." Jordan answered and Alexander stopped what he was doing.

"Ready the car I'm going out." Alexander ordered.

"Yes sir."

Samantha hailed a cab and asked the driver to stop a few minutes walk to the hospital. She was walking slowly and a tear fell down her eyes, she didn't want to lose Emma she was all she had left.

Unknown to Samantha that someone was watching her.

She walked into Emma's ward and she was still fast asleep. Soon Emma woke up.

"Hey how are you feeling?" Samantha asked.

"I... I feel a bit faint but... Why did... Why did I pass out what's wrong with me?" Emma asked.

"How do I tell you this Emma... You have leukemia." Samantha said maybe Emma was right she should stop treating her like a baby.

"What?" Emma asked.

"Yes, and you need surgery, a bone marrow transplant." Samantha said.

"What happens if I don't get one?" Emma asked.

"You'll die." Samantha replied and Emma began sobbing.

"Hey I'm not going to let that happen." Samantha reassured.

"How are you going to save me? Dad's money is gone, the house it's gone too. And be honest uncle Karl doesn't want to help, does he?" Emma asked and Samantha just kept quiet.

"I'm sorry Sam." Emma said.

"Whatever for Emma?" Samantha asked.

"I'm sorry I keep putting you in bad spots and situation."

"Hey, it's not your fault okay. I promise you will get well again." Samantha said hugging her.

She knew deep down that it would be hard to raise money for Emma's surgery but she would do whatever it takes.

"Uncle, we need to talk." Samantha said over the phone when Emma was asleep again.

"Okay, what is it?" Karl asked.

"Tell Mr McCallion I want to meet." Samantha said.

"Okay, I'll try to set a meeting with him."

"Thank you." Samantha said disconnecting the call.

As much as she hates what she's about to do it doesn't matter right? She was an adult now it's only a night stand. She'd give herself to him and she would save Emma from dying.

Besides she already sold half her soul when she became a strip dancer.

Karl dialed the number on Alexander's contact card. And Jordan answered.

"Yes."

"Can I please speak to Mr McCallion." Karl asked.

"About?" Jordan asked he didn't want to waste his boss' time with something irrelevant.

"Miss Samantha accepted his offer." Karl replied.

"Boss you have a call it's Karl." Jordan said handing the phone to Alexander.

"What is it?" Alexander asked as he took the phone from Jordan.

"Miss Samantha wants to meet." Karl said and a smile played on Alexander's face. It would seem Samantha was smart after all.

"I'll text you a meeting place tell her to come by six o'clock tomorrow." Alexander said.

"Yes Mr McCallion."

Karl called Samantha back forwarding the address to her.

The next day Samantha was with Emma when a beautiful girl walked in.

"Hey girl."

"Penelope." Samantha smiled.

"The one and only." Penelope said hugging her.

"How is she?" She asked.

"Okay for now, I guess." Samantha said.

"Oh Sam, I'm so sorry."

"Thanks." Samantha said.

"Although I have a favor to ask Penelope."

"What is it?" Penelope asked.

"Please stay with Emma I have a meeting with someone."

"Who?" Penelope asked.

"Just someone, please it's a very important meeting and I... Might be able to get the money for Emma's surgery." Samantha replied.

"There's been a change to what we discussed last time."
