Honk!
It was early in the morning but Samantha's bad luck happened to visit her earlier than her usual time of going to school. She glanced at the dashing car beside her and frowned right away.Sigh!Six years ago, she went to Georgetown International High School either by bus or by his now hated 'prince charming's' black Mercedes-Benz. Andy would be the one driving and she would sit in the passenger seat while Albert would elegantly take the backseat.Now, it was different. She knew all along that the one driving the new model of black Maybach piercing her ears with its constant beeping was the one originally sitting in the backseat of Mercedes-Benz six years ago.She took a glimpse at the tinted window and shifted her glance back on the path ahead of her ignoring the fact that the driver was a hot-tempered person and spurning him disdainfully wasn't exactly his favorite cup of tea to start his day."Just one more!" he thought as he pushed the raucousWhile going to the medical lab, she accidentally bumped into Andrea who was also rushing. Hair disheveled while she brushed the strands with her fingers. She wasn't wearing makeup. Just plain lipstick whom Samantha thought Andrea applied it in a hurry. Medical uniform buttons were in the wrong holes."Are you okay?" she couldn't help but to ask."Can't you see? I am not!" Andrea replied."Did you cry?" she asked again. This time, she moved closer as she examined her eyes from the frame of her black sunglasses."How do you know?" she asked as she bit her lower lip."It's obvious!" she pointed at her covered eyes.They were about to enter the lab when they saw that there's no one inside except for the dead person covered with white blanket. The formalin they used was so strong that Andrea felt sick."Excuse me!" she ran hastily to the nearest women's toilet and threw up.Samantha followed her in one of the cubicles as she rubbed her back."
It's 8pm!Samantha was standing in front of the university waiting for Albert. Andrea went home early along with her bodyguards. He told her he was on his way but she'd been standing there for about 30 minutes now.Till a familiar Maybach caught her attention. She waved her hand right away. The Maybach stopped right in front of her.A gorgeous young man elegantly opened the driver seat and went towards the passenger seat to open the door."Sorry, I am late. Get in!" he said.Samantha got in right away. She buckled up while he closed the door. She followed his steps with her gaze till he sat on driver seat and revved the engine."Am I this good looking?" he asked as he faced her with a little sneer."Ahm! Where are we going Young Master?" Samantha asked instead."It's eight and I haven't had lunch. Let's have dinner. I'm starving!" he replied while he started looking ahead and focused on driving."Young Master, I have something to tell you
They both went home not saying a word. He walked heavily upstairs while she was wobbling going to the servants' quarter. He removed his tie. She pulled out her ponytail. He unbuttoned his shirts. She unbuttoned her uniform. He unzipped his pants. She rolled down her stockings. They both went to their bathrooms naked. He turned on the valve and steaming water welcomed his messy thought as he lifted his head and shut his eyes. She turned on the valve and looked down onto her toes.They were both in loved with each other but they couldn't be together.What a fate?!They screamed their hearts out of frustration and it was a good thing that the water splattering on the tiled floor was louder than their voices. He nestled his forehead on the cold marbled wall. She leaned her back against the cold tiled wall."Albert!""Samantha!"They both spoke in unison.What were they going to do now?Staying in one big house was a torture. But she had no choice.
"Is that a joke?" Edward was beyond furious.Albert's murderous stare was directed on them. He was planning to have a powerful entrance to annoy this blue-eyed bug in his sophisticated dignified life.Who could have guessed he was also someone who knew how to ruffle someone's feathers?"Wow!" even Chester was rubbing his eyes in disbelief."Baby, is that your servant?" it was Madeline who asked the life-threatening question."Servant? Which one of them? The one on the left or the one on the right?" Cheska even added flame on the bursting fire."Ah! I didn't see that coming...too. I thought my nephew would only take one beautiful lady in his banquet. I had no idea that he took plus two!" Benjamin held his nape like having a stiff neck at the moment. On the contrary, he liked how Enrique made these three arrogant soigné billionaires' blood boil.When Enrique accidentally glanced at them, he whispered at the two charming belles who's hands were
When Albert went back to the banquet hall, he saw Edward and Andrea dancing in front along with the other couples. Chester and his new girlfriend were ouf of sight again. He knew exactly where they were and as usual, he always shook his head."Baby, Mr. Madrigal is telling me about Houston Group. I suddenly would like to visit their main office in Ireland!"Madeline was also busy chatting with Benjamin in their table. For a while, Albert would want to praise her for casually talking with him. It would save him from gathering more information about this family."That's great! Sure, we can visit Ireland next time. By the way, where is Manager Houston?"He is in his rented suite with Ms. Reynolds!" Benjamin replied in meaningful tone."What?" Albert exclaimed. He was about to get up when Benjamin stopped him."President Michaels, why not dance with your girlfriend? Or may I dance with her?""You may dance with her!" Albert immediately uttered."B
A week after the banquet..."Finally! Land of the free!" she dragged her luggage as she rummaged the surroundings with her light brown orbs.Couples holding hands while strolling in the park. Street vendors in some areas. Neon lights that sparkling brightly on the big billboards in the pedestrians. Names of closed stores and other establishments. It still looked daytime but when she glanced at her diamond watch, it was nine in the evening.She continued walking, her backpack hanging on her shoulder. Her luggage was just as tired as her. They were both dragging themselves on the ground. Till she thought she had found solace. But the line was as long as an anaconda she once watched in their private theater in the mansion."Cymbals!""Is that a bar?" she asked herself.She was eighteen but she had never been to bars before. She was also a night owl but how she spent her night wasn't what a normal teenager did. While they were under the disco lights jigging
When Maria held the mic, everyone stood up and gathered in front of the stage. Danny bit the drums and cymbals while their bass guitarist, Bass strummed the strings. Apple started swaying her hips and nodding her head to the rhythm. Maria started stomping her legs.Let's go girlsCome on!I'm goin' out tonight, I'm feelin' alrightGonna let it all hang out..."She's very good!" Isabella gasped in awe.This was her first time to see a band performing live and she loved every second of watching it.The best thing about bein' a womanls the prerogative to have a little fun andOh, oh, oh, go totally crazyForget I'm a ladyMen's shirts, short skirtsOh, oh, oh, really go wildYeah, doin' it in styleOh, oh, oh, get in the actionFeel the attractionColor my hair, do what I dareOh, oh, oh, I wanna be freeYeah, to feel the way I feelMan, I feel like a womanThe crowd had gone wild.

The woman in Benjamin's bed got up right away. She took her coat on the floor and her heels on the doorstep. She just brushed her hair with her fingers. She glanced at Benjamin who was in his robe sitting elegantly on the sofa not minding about her business."Sweety, I am leaving now!" the woman bade him a flying kiss but she was just about to turn around and leave when Enrique swung the door open."Uncle! What the h*ck? Who's this?" he exclaimed in both shock and disappointment."D*mn it! Next time, move fast. Oh, there's no more next time. Get out!" Benjamin harshly got up and shoved the woman out."Hey! Stop pushing me, a*shole. Is this your nephew? Oh! He's handsome!" the woman started caressing Enrique's chest which made him feel disgusted. He pushed her away as he glared at her."Wow! Like uncle like nephew. Hmp! Don't you know, your uncle has been screwing me and cheating your aunt for three months now!" the woman even uttered ignoring Benjamin's warn
In a high-end restaurant in the heart of the city, two beautiful single moms were going to talk to clear a slate. They were both calm, grace, and dignified."You will always be my sister-in-law no matter what!" Liz sincerely told Samantha while the latter still felt embarrassed that she was one of those narrow-minded people who believed something was going on between them with her ex-husband."I'm sorry. I don't know what to say!" all she could say was this.But her actions spoke a lot of meaningful words she couldn't express in sentences."It's all right. It happens to people. And we are not exempted!" Liz just shook her head as she gave Samantha a genuine smile.Samantha left a light chuckle with her phrase and just like her, she also shook her head."Yeah! We are not exempted!" she repeated."So, when will you two get back together? Tristan is at his age to have a sibling. He's already almost ten!" she channeled their talks to another topic when they were done clearing things out."
"Albert is in Ireland now? Is that true?" Candice who had overseas photoshoots for months was surprised when Grace told her about what happened three months ago.She who never liked to watch nor read the news was really ignorant when it came to those current events but when it was all about fashion, she was number one!"Yes, Miss Candice. The hospital here transferred him to Houston Medical Hospital two weeks ago!" Grace sternly uttered."But why? The hospitals here are also good!" Candice still insisted on digging for more information about him."It was Dr. Houston's command!" Grace still casually replied though deep inside she would like to yell at her saying 'Stop wasting my time! Just fly to Ireland if you want!'"Okay, thanks for the info. Bye!" Candice told her in haste before she strode towards the lift.Inside the lift, she called her manager right away."Get me a ticket going to Ireland tonight. I need to see Albert!""Okay, right away!" her manager obeyed at once..After abo
"Sam, Isabella told me to come here to help you today and tomorrow. How's Young Master?" Laila was speaking to her as she opened the door while she strode to Albert's VIP Ward.However, she also halted in the middle and her exciting orbs went open as she saw who were Albert's visitors at that time.The four including Albert's doctor glanced in her direction and smiled. Laila would like to turn around and run away for a while but her flat shoes were nailed to the floor."Laila, right?" one of the doctors asked as he sauntered toward her.She just gawked at him. She couldn't believe she had just eaten her tongue. She flickered her eyes and tried to speak, but she staggered in her voice."Yes, dictor...I mean doc...tor...!" she shut her eyes for a moment while shaking her head. Then she composed herself and spoke again."Yes, Doctor Arnolds!" Laila finally uttered...without looking at him. Her eyes glanced around instead."Beautiful name...Like the owner!" Sean commented before he went ou
Earlier...When Albert saw the group of policemen about one kilometer away waiting for them, he did his best to draw Madeline's attention to something else while removing the cloth that was wrapped around his wrists."Why are you doing all of these? What happened to you?""What happened to me? It was you who made me this way. If you didn't cancel our wedding before, we're supposed to be husband and wife now, and maybe, we're supposed to have children now!" she yelled as her glare was burning his eyes."But you feel disgusted by me. Since that monster kidnapped me, you never talked to me again. You avoided me like I was a plague!" she kept on releasing everything that's been keeping her bottled up for too long."Then you suddenly fell in love with a servant? How dare you, Albert?" her fantasy was making her blind but Albert never really listened to her prattles."What's your plan on me now?" he asked as he sneered.Finally, he loosed the cloth. He sideglanced at Rona whose eyes were shu
"Grace, could you get me the reviewed documents from Houston Group? The one I approved yesterday!" Albert called Grace on his intercom but to his surprise, she didn't answer."Grace, the contract from Houston!" he repeated but still it was dead air."Maybe she went to the restroom!" he whispered as he walked out of his office to get the documents himself.But to his shock, he saw Grace lying unconsciously on the cold marbled floor. He was about to call 911 when somebody just hit him on his head. He irked in pain but he didn't lose his consciousness. As he turned around while holding his head that was hit, he squinted his eyes when he saw a sneering Katie appearance but he knew that was Madeline."You?" he exclaimed but even before he could push the alarm button, he received another hit that was stronger than the first. This time, he had lost his consciousness.Simon carried him back inside his office while Madeline followed. However, an employee who happened to pass by saw a glimpse of
She released an evil laugh while staring at the headline that bannered their glorious names:'Madeline Swan, Wanted! Lance Swan Captures!'She laughed at the authorities who always failed to arrest her.She laughed at Houston's men who were waiting for her arrival.Above all, she laughed at Albert and the Michaels for not sensing her closeness in their visibility."St*pid powerful people!" she aggravatingly snorted.She was holding a red wine while sitting on their usual white Italian leather couch.Where?In an originally breathtaking place that became a haunted house.Indeed, Lance helped her escape and fooled the authorities that she was going to Ireland. Her father prepared her hideout once again. But this time, no one would even think she went back to the city of opportunities, to that penthouse where two wanted criminals were killed more than two years ago. The one was killed by her."Miss Swan, they all thought you're in Ireland now!" Simon grinned.He was pouring Madeline a gla
"Even if you will kill me, I would never tell you where my daughter is. She deserves to do those things after everything that happened to her!" Lance Swan shouted at length in a wild, impassioned way."Congratulations, President Lance! You've just admitted you know where your daughter is!" Jake spoke in a contemptuous manner rather.The police station where Vanessa and Jake were assigned immediately arrested Lance Swan when Vanessa called that day.When the doctor in Maui nodded that it was Lance who ordered them to make Cheska's condition worst, she instructed her team to arrest him right away."I'm gonna be behind bars anyway. But I'm not going to tell you where my daughter is!" Lance firmly told him.Jake slowly leaned on the chair glaring at him while his fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. Just one more he thought. He might give this middle-aged man a knuckle sandwich.They were both startled when Vanessa opened the door and announced."Good news! The eel is in Ireland!"
At dinner, Albert brought Candice to a western diner. Her favorite. When the waiter arrived, he ordered almost all of her favorite food such as beefy casserole, cheesy turkey broccoli pasta, and biscuit topped chicken pot pie. He also ordered some dessert and a glass of red wine."Thanks for accepting my invitation, Albert. Even if our relationship is just a sham, at least you're still gentleman enough not to decline!" Candice shyly told him while she tucked some strands of her hair behind her earlobe.But Albert was way too busy glancing around while his hands were clasped on the table. As much as possible he didn't want to see Candice anymore since the latter started showing some interest in him."Ahm! I always love beefy casserole. Here, try some!"She stuffed a cube of meat in his mouth and because it was sudden he wasn't able to shun it. He reluctantly chewed the food while frowning at her."It's delicious, right? Oh, there's a sauce left at the corner of your lips!" She even took
In Maui Medical Hospital...Chester was staring at her weak pale face while his hand was gently brushing her hair. She was still unconscious but the doctor said, her condition was getting better.He gritted his teeth everytime he remembered what the doctor told them. He had been violated not just once. Based from the findings of a single pubic hair they saw on her thigh when the swat team saw her in the big empty house, the owner was Simon Flord."I'm gonna kill you, bastard!" he muttered while staring at her.He had been looking for Cheska since she suddenly left more than two years ago. He tried to call her but her phone was disconnected. He thought she intentionally cut ties with him so after months of trying, he finally gave up.When he heard a soft moan, he sat straight as he moved closer."Cheska!" he gently called her name.His blurry eyes were glued on her pallid face. He touched his cheek while his other hand clasped her hand with an IV dr
