Lucian was about to hurry towards his car when he heard someone call behind him. "Wait!" Penelope called out. "Please wait! Please." Penelope said as she began sobbing. Lucian knew she was crying because of something else. Well he didn't know her pretty well except their weired encounters. He placed her hands around his shoulders and helped her to the car. Well he wouldn't want to be called a pervert again if he tried to carry her. He helped her into his car and drove off. "Where's your house Miss?" Lucian asked. But Penelope didn't reply. As tears just kept falling down her face. Lucian decided to ignore her. He drove to one of his penthouse suite. He arrived and found out Penelope was fast asleep. "You look cute when you're asleep." Lucian said touching her hair. He wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. He carried her and laid her on his bed. He decided to leave her there and headed home first. The next day Mildred woke up with a headache. She was surprised to see Lu
Lucian walked into his office, he knew Kai must have tried to stop Kate but she must have caused a scene again. He saw Kate in an overly sexy dress that hung just below her thighs. "Lucian you're finally here." She said with a smile. "Why are you here?" Lucian asked as calmly as he could. "To see you my love."Lucian chuckled when he heard her call him love. "Love? It looks like you're day dreaming Kate I'm not your love, not now not ever." Lucian said. "Come on Lucian can't you forgive me? It's just a mistake you know I didn't mean to hurt you." Kate seduced licking her lower lips. "I'm sure you didn't but I don't care, get out of my office now." Lucian said coldly. "Lucian, don't you want my body?" Kate asked. "I wore a sexy dress just for you." She seduced. "And that's supposed to make me feel better?" Lucian asked. "Please, don't make me call security, for old time sakes get out." Lucian warned but Kate was adamant instead she leaned closer and kissed him. Lucian was a
Samantha glared at the man seating beside her. "If you don't tell me who you support I'm going to support the wrong person and it would only end badly." Samantha said. "Fine, I want Julian's grandson to take his place. That way, I could get more benefits. And you know me well." Alexander said."I'm glad I do." Samantha replied rolling her eyes."Boss, we're here." Jordan said. "Well Samantha let's go. My temporary secretary for the day." Alexander winked.Samantha followed Alexander and Jordan into the building. "Have you done this before?" Alexander asked when they were in the elevator. "Once, with my dad when I was eighteen. I was really nervous that day." Samantha said. "Are you nervous now?" Alexander asked. "Not at all, maybe because I might not get the opportunity to speak." Samantha said. The elevator's door opened and the trio walked out of it. They headed towards the buildings conference room. "Welcome Mr McCallion." A Chinese man greeted with a smile. "Thank you."
Jordan was following the duo but from a distance. He didn't know why, but he felt the man in front of him wasn't his boss at all. But some tourist with his wife or fiancee. "That's a beautiful ring." Alexander said glancing at Samantha's finger."Yeah." Samantha nodded. "It looks like a wedding ring." Alexander added. "Yeah, it belonged to my mom. Emma is actually holding my dad's we promised to switch them every month. It makes me feel safe. Just like a necklace." Samantha said. "What necklace?" Alexander asked. "I'll show you some other time." Samantha replied. "Let's have lunch." "Okay, I'm pretty hungry." Samantha said. "Do you like it here?" Alexander asked. "Yeah, kinda. It is beautiful but... You seem happier I'm glad." Samantha said. "Probably because of you." Alexander said. "Jordan." Samantha called out. "Yes, Miss Pierce." Jordan answered. "Just call me Samantha. Come sit with us." Samantha said. "No... I'll..." Jordan tried to decline. "Don't worry your boss
"Who is it at this ungodly hour?" An old woman asked as she opened the door she was surprised to see Samantha and a man covered in blood. Samantha tried speaking Spanish but she couldn't keep up. And Alexander was running out of time."I'm sorry, my Spanish is a bit rusty. I need a first aid kit to cure him. He is going to die, if I don't help him. Can I get your first aid?" Samantha asked."Please come in he is badly hurt, I'll call my husband." The woman said and her husband came walking towards them.He was old just like his wife."Oh my god what happened to you two?" He asked in Spanish. "Can you save him?" Amelia asked. "The bullet greased him, still he has lost a lot of blood. Let's get him to the basement my tools are there." He said. "What tools?" Samantha asked. "My husband is a retired doctor." Amelia said. "Ah." Samantha nodded and sighed. Soon the older man skillfully removed the bullet and stitched Alexander's wounds. "He should be up by morning. Although he would
The leader of the goons called their boss and told him that they lost Alexander and the girl. Although they believed Alexander was hit. "You know I don't live my life based on speculations.""I need you to find out the whereabouts of Alexander and the girl. And if he's dead confirm the kill and let's be glad we have successfully eliminated one of my dad's biggest supporters and I'm sure the rest would support me if they know how dangerous I am." Julian's son yelled. "Yes boss we would do that right away, we're trying to pick up their trail." "Well do that quickly we're running out of time." Julian's son Hugo said. Samantha felt warmth from the old couple they were really nice, she was given new clothes and Samantha could tell they weren't the woman's size. Cause it almost suit her perfectly. "I'm sure you're wondering who they belong to." Amelia said and Samantha nodded. "They belong to my granddaughter, they rarely visit these days." Amelia said. "Are you sure it's okay weari
Simone dialed his contact at the hotel's number. "What did you say?" Simone asked. "Yes, Mr Jordan left with all of the trusted security Mr McCallion has." His spy informed. "And do you know where they're going?" Simone asked. "No, it would seem only Jordan knows." He said. "Do you have the GPS coordinates of the car?" Simone asked. "No, sir.""You're always useless, this is our lives on the line." Simone yelled. "You mean your life, I have nothing to do with the gang no one knows I'm working for you. I shouldn't even be giving you any information regarding them. Mr McCallion is a dangerous man. He would surely have your heads after this." His spy said slightly irritated. "Yes, I know. Which is why I want to stop it before..." Simone said. "It's too late, piece of advice run while you still can." His spy said disconnecting the call."How are you feeling Mr Elias?" Humberto asked. "I'm okay, thank you sir. For everything." Alexander smiled. "No, problem. Hugo's gang are a gr
Samantha glared at Alexander and then sighed since she saw his unwavering smile. "Fine, I'll will come with you then." Samantha said. "What? No! You're not going." Alexander protested. "Yes I am, and there's nothing you can do about it." Samantha said. "Samantha don't be stubborn." "And why not? You get to be stubborn why can't I?" Samantha asked. "Because I said so, Samantha don't make things complicated." Alexander said. "That Hugo guy only wanted to kill you because he saw you were vulnerable. I was his major target but since he saw an opening to kill you too. He decided to take it." Samantha said. "Samantha...""It was my idea that got you into trouble." Samantha said. "Fine, you want to make it up to me and the board?" Alexander asked. "Yes, and don't even tell me not to go." Samantha said."Fine, but I need to punish you for not listening to me." Alexander said. "Hmm, a wounded guy wants to teach me a lesson? Or would it be the other way round?" Samantha asked. "Miss
"Sophie Weston, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourself to him in marriage?" The priest asked Samantha. "Yes." Samantha replied. "Alexander McCallion, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourself to her in marriage?" "Yes." Alexander replied. "Will you honour him as your husband for the rest of your life?" "I will." Samantha answered. "Will you honour her as your wife, for the rest of your life?" "I will." Alexander replied. "Will you accept children lovingly from God and bring them up according to the law of Christ?" The priest asked. "Yes." The duo replied. "It's time to exchange the vows." Rita and Christopher gave Alexander, and Samantha the rings and the duo began to recite the vows."I Sophie Weston take you, Alexander McCallion to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health. I will love and honour you till death do us part." Samantha said sliding the ring into his
Alexander walked into the house and Samantha smiled at him. She immediately got on her feet and went to hug him. "Hey beautiful." Alexander said pecking her cheeks. "Hey.""I came to give you this." Alexander said. "What's this?" Samantha asked taking the file from him. "Actually I would have given this to you a year back but... Well now that I remembered I just thought to give it to you." Alexander said and Samantha went through the papers."Wait... These are the documents of our house." Samantha said, "Yeah, I'm giving your foster parents home back to you. I purchased it from the bank you see. I just forgot to give it back.""Emma would be so happy, thank you." Samantha said hugging him. "You're welcome, my love. I have to go." Alexander said. "Hey, you're not leaving. Help me make a pick between this two colors." Samantha said. "Why don't you just pick anyone?" Alexander asked. "I want you to pick.""The purple one." Alexander said. "See that wasn't so bad, and that was m
"I probably would have preferred Kate to her.""This is about something else isn't it?" Lionel asked."This is about something else isn't it?" Lionel asked again. He knew his wife a lot. "I don't want to talk about it." She said. They continued the dinner in silence till it was over. "Thank you for having me Mr and Mrs Moon." Penelope said. "Of course, and thank you for coming." Lionel said. "Tell me something did you get employed at the hospital because you got yourself into my son's bed?" Stella asked. "Mom! That's enough." Lucian said. "I'm just curious.""Mom, you're being mean." Mildred said. "Why are you all taking her side?" Stella asked. "Because she did nothing wrong, I know why you don't really like her." Lucian said. "Because your ex girlfriend is better." She said. "I'd rather die single than go back to Kate. I love Penelope and nothing you do will change that." Lucian said."Penelope let's go, I guess mom has too much alcohol so she isn't thinking straight." Lu
"I'm not saying you are. I'm just saying...""That's what you're trying to imply." Sebastian frowned. "Keep your money Sebastian, I know you're trying to impress your girlfriend but don't." Mr Grayson said. "So, Emma tell me how you two got into a relationship." Mrs Grayson asked. "Oh, it's kind of embarrassing." Emma said. "How so dear?" She asked. "Sebastian was a weird guy. I don't know the first time he walked into class I have to admit I hated him. He might have good looks but his manners were poor." Emma said. "You're right about that." Mr Grayson said and Sebastian glared at him. "We bumped into each other on the streets and... He asked if I'd love to go on a walk again with him since we live close to each other.""We've became close since then after I found out he wasn't a total idiot." Emma said. "I like you Emma, you're very outspoken." Mr Grayson said. "Thank you sir."Lucian arrived home only to hear voices he was surprised to see his parents and Mildred laughing.
"Samantha a lot had happened since... I thought I lost you." Emma said. "I know, it wouldn't have been easy thinking you lost me too." Samantha said. "It wasn't, losing dad, mom, aunt, you. I felt so empty. But Sebastian, Mildred, Carlos, Scarlett and Linda kinda made it a bit bearable." Emma said. "I'm glad they were there for you, come park your things." Samantha said and Emma nodded. "Guys thank you all for coming. Thank you all for supporting me." Samantha said. "Of course Samantha, you're a part of the group." Ken said. "But more than that. You guys helped me regardless of the fact that I pretended not to know you guys." Samantha said. "Samantha you chose to trust us, we owe you our support. You've been through a lot with us, you almost got killed I wouldn't blame you if you choose not to come to us for help." Lucian said."Still thank you all I wouldn't have been able to pull that off without your help.""We're glad we could help." They said. "Oh Joelle sorry I sent a mo
When Samantha heard this she nearly lost her footing. "Well get dressed first." Raphael said."Penelope you have to get the hell out of there." Samantha said. "There's still a few percent to go." Penelope said. "Ditch it they would kill you." Samantha said. "It's done.""Get out now." Samantha said and Penelope arranged her dress before walking out of the room. Samantha knew that the father and son pair would surely see Penelope coming from the study so she decided to stage a little drama. "Play along." Samantha said. "I don't want you calling me Samantha how many times do I have to tell you and your friends that I want nothing to do with any of you?" Samantha asked. "Samantha..." Penelope called out. "Penelope what are you doing up here?" Raphael asked. "Oh she came upstairs after she saw me and you heading up here and then she's telling me some weird crap about our childhood." Samantha said. "Penelope you know you should stop talking about Samantha." Raphael said. "And yo
Alexander was preparing for the man walking towards him with a smile. He couldn't understand why people would waste their votes on someone as vile as him. Well they were going to make sure he doesn't have a career in the political race anymore. "Alexander McCallion." Gael smiled. "Mr governor." Alexander said with a straight face, well he wasn't known for smiling much so his looks weren't weird. "Long time no see.""Indeed.""I'm glad you could make it tonight." Gael said"Yeah, me too." Alexander smiled. "I hope Mr Weston and your father makes it tonight." Gael said. "Oh, I'm sure they would turn up." Alexander said. "Yeah, because I have a very nice surprise for everyone here." Gael smiled. "I'm sure you do." Alexander smiled reading more meanings to his words. "Guys I think there's a problem." Alexander said. "What is it Alexander?" Lucian asked. "Joelle I need you to text Mr Weston not to come tonight I think Gael is up to something." Alexander said. "Too late Mr West
The next day Samantha went to Karl's club. She hadn't been here since she was kicked out and Alexander forced her into his little deal and since then her life had been a drama.Well she wanted to fix everything and that includes facing her past. "Boss Miss Weston is here to see you." Johnson his manager said. "Let her in." He said immediately. He wondered why he saw the name Weston in his schedule, he knew Ethan lost his wife for more than seventeen years but he had never gotten himself drunk or gotten laid. So he wondered what the sudden visit was for. A bulky man walked into his office he knew that wasn't Ethan Weston and that definitely wasn't a woman. He heard the sound of clicking shoes and he was surprised to see who it was. "Samantha?" Karl asks surprised. "How..." He stuttered. "I see you're still not a good fan of news are you uncle?" Samantha asked."Samantha." Karl called out again as he hugged her. "Hi uncle Karl it's been almost three years." Samantha said. "Sa
Alexander was surprised to see Ken there. Well it's not like they all haven't had a common enemy that they've had to deal with. "Why are you here?" Alexander asked. "To make it hurt." Ken replied."Are you saying I can't make it hurt?" Alexander asked. "Maybe not. Let's do this together, I have a little score to settle as well." Ken said walking on ahead of Alexander. Alexander walked into the room and found Preston tied up. Alexander asked his blind folds be taken off."Ah Alexander McCallion, I wasn't expecting you'd be the one to bring me to such a place." Preston said. "Well you've gotten old, so old in fact that you're disgusting." Alexander said."I might totally deserve that." He said with a slight chuckle. "So what are you going to do? Kill me?" Preston asked."You don't think I can?" Alexander asked. "You and I both know you can't." Preston Cruz challenged."Should I kill you and make your son in law take the fall?" Alexander asked. "You live my daughter and her famil
