"Bro, what's the matter?"
Edward tensely stared at their friend who was drinking wine straight from the bottle.He went to Cymbals with his house shirt and long shorts. He was also in his slippers. Obviously, it was not his intent to go to the bar that night....but what caused him to drown himself with wine and brandy with his friends was a puzzle to them."Is it about Samantha?" Chester asked when he didn't answer Edward's question."We had an argument!" he simply responded in a soft tone that the two couldn't almost hear.They bent their bodies closer to him and squinted their eyes trying to listen to his new story."We almost fought!" he continued after gulping a red wine."Give me that bottle first. So, you can speak well!" Chester took the wine bottle from him and Albert just narrowed his eyes."She is different these past few days!" his face was showing a lot of distress and difficulties as he breathed a deep sigh."Well, it'sEarly in the morning, Andy was preparing the black Mercedes-Benz for Eve. He made sure that everything was in good condition including its car scent and interior decor just the way the doctor liked it.Eve, on the other hand, talked to Lily in secret. Lily was inside of her room instructing her about their unfinished task."I'm telling you, Señior Madrigal isn't someone who's easy to trick so now that you hopped into his boat, you should finish this job with or without my consent!"Eve's words sent chills down her spine. If only she could back out or run away, she would have done it."Do not call or send me a message anymore. Do you get it?" she even held her chin tight scaring the heck out of her."Ye-yes, Doctor Garner!" Lily stammered in her response.She moved backward till her back reached the cold wall. She stared at Eve's flaring eyes. She was petrified with the sharpness of her orbs.Scary she thought!"Do you have questions?" Eve asked while putting
"Mom, dad! I'm bringing Albert his lunch!"Samantha was carrying a thermal lunch box when she went out of the dining room. She was wearing a red jumpsuit with halter neckline. Her hair was draped on her back covering her exposed skin. Her footwear was a pointed toe sling back. Hanging on her shoulder was her summer round straw bag.Lauren and Christopher were resting on the couch in the living room when they saw her passing by."Sure, Sam. Albert would be glad if you will do that. Oh, don't worry about Tristan. Jaden brought him to your brother's villa. Since it's still their vacation, he has plenty of time to play with them!" Lauren joyfully uttered while sitting straight.Christopher removed his hand on her shoulder when he saw that Samantha was staring at them."Thanks, mom. By the way, dad. Don't be shy to show your sweetness to mom. We, women, always appreciate that!" she winked rather which made Christopher coughed and Lauren chuckled."Okay! Go n
"Aiden, cancel all my appointments this afternoon!" Albert commanded when he went back to his office and took his suit in his built-in closet."But President, the meeting this afternoon is important!" Aiden was adamant to follow his words."Reschedule it!" he exclaimed while pushing the arrow button of his private lift.Aiden had no choice but to obey. He bowed at him and when the lift door was closed, he breathed a frustrating sigh.In her car, she rolled up the roof and clenched her grip on the steering wheel. Her tears were non stop. She didn't know where to go.To Andrea's place?No, the last time she went there, her own bestfriend told her to go back to the mansion. And probably, she was also busy at the hospital. Just like her, Andrea was also a doctor. A General Surgeon.She had decided to go to their place in River Park. She visited her Aunt Maria before she went to Ireland and that was few months ago. She missed her street smart talks and
"Madz, what you're planning is a crime. Don't do it. You're gonna be put behind bars!"Cheska quivered at what Madeline told her. She was enveloped with rage and what happened to her five years ago left a deep bruise in her soul. She would like to kill Benjamin.The problem was, she had no idea where he was?Even their men, they couldn't find him. She was having a nightmare almost every night that Samantha's beast uncle was feasting on her body.Sometimes, she would scream in her sleep or fell on the floor sweating or crying. Since then, she neglected her treatment. She stopped working either. She was losing her sanity little by little.Now, she would like Samantha to experience the same thing since she thought Samantha snatched Albert from her.Her infatuation.Her dream man.She gritted her teeth and flared at Cheska. The latter moved back in her seat upon seeing her murderous stare."Madz, calm down!" she gently told her.Her hand
"Dad mom, what happened?"Albert called out in the quiet mansion upon stepping in the living room."Tristan!" Samantha called her son right away as she strode towards the stairs.When the people in the household heard the two, they all went out and faced their frantic expressions. Tristan also strode downstairs and hugged his mom tight still sobbing.Samantha immediately knelt down to hold her son and stroke his back."Mommy, let's go home!" he beseeched to his mom.Albert was hurt seeing his son cry so he squated down to tell him what happened but Tristan buried his head on his mom's neck instead. He didn't want to see any of the Michaels at the moment.Albert felt his heart was just crushed into pieces when he saw Tristan's reaction. He tried to touch his back but Tristan brushed his hand off.When Samantha saw Fe and Gloria, she got up while carrying her son and went towards them."Mom, what happened? Where are dad Christopher and mom
"I'm glad you called me for help. If not, I would still have to bribe someone to help me with my revenge plan. Those uncle and niece need to suffer. That servant had become bold since the Houston found her!"Madeline was in the pool water dipped up to her chest, right hand was holding a tequila sunrise while her other hand was stretched on the edge of the pool."You have a friend. The one who came with you at Albert's party. Don't tell me, she left you behind!" she, who was wearing a set of diamonds, sipped her margarita elegantly before she spoke."She chickened out. I sent her back to her hometown. Took all of her gadgets, phone, and reset them so she can't contact anyone anymore!""If she remembers a certain phone number, I think you're going to have a problem!""You think, I didn't think of that. Of course, I did. That's why I had my female bodyguard to watch her closely!""Female bodyguard?" she exclaimed at Madeline.She seemed not to underst
When Enrique heard his explanations, he gnashed his teeth and slammed the desk with his fist."Samantha will be treated at the hospital. And Tristan ~""Tristan will be going back to Ireland, Michaels whether you like it or not. He's not safe in your place!" he cut Albert off."Houston, he is my son. She is my wife now and I will never let you nor anyone take them away from me!" Albert was heating and his words weighed a lot of pain and rage.He had lost Samantha before. He was just starting to have a good bonding with Tristan. He didn't want his family to be divided like this."You brought that grim reaper to your mansion because you want to annoy my sister. How dare you say no one can take them away from you? You failed to protect my sister and my nephew. You have no right to be with them!"His resentment towards Albert that started when the latter impregnated Samantha grew even more. Before he was just testing his sincerity to his sister, but when Sa
Before Christopher went home after fixing his discharge papers, he visited Samantha's VIP Ward first. He went with Lauren who was still drowning in guilt for not controlling her anger towards her grandson.Now, because of that, they would never see Tristan for a while. It was such a great pain to feel from grandparents when they couldn't see their grandson and what's more hurting was to witness their son's family falling downhill.They just got married for Pete's sake. Albert was just starting to be a father for Tristan. He and Samantha were separated for years.What kind of struggles had they been experiencing since they confessed their love to each other?When would it be stopped?Would they have a happy ending?Lots of questions kept popping up in her mind as they walked towards her ward."Dear, come now. This is Sam's ward!"She was brought back to her senses when Christopher whispered to her. They were now standing in front of the door. T
