When Lance received a message and video from Sebastian, they released Christopher and ordered the man in Albert's room to leave.
But before he left Lance's mansion, he asked Benjamin first."The twins will be the heir someday since their eldest is already worthless. Why not kill both of them? D*mn, where's the thrill in it if I am going to end Jackson's happiness and elegant life in a jiffy. Take it slowly. One kid at a time!" Benjamin uttered in a sadistic tone.His voice became lunatic. He was staring at the video that Sebastian sent. He didn't even think that the one who was just killed in cold blood was his four year old niece."Got that, Michaels? Now leave and seal your lips if you don't want to come back here for another meal!" Lance even spoke out.Christopher violently got up, fierce look covered his eyes. Enraged by what had just happened, he swiped the food served on the table."You two are soulless! Time will come, you will sow what you reap"How does Enrique know we're here?" she even had the nerve to ask the going to explode man beside her."Why not ask him later?" Albert angrily asked back."Does that mean, you two are in good terms now? That's great!" Samantha exclaimed in excitement."No, of course not! Never!" Albert replied as he left her and went to the pantry.Samantha just followed him with her baffled looks. But also shrugged off when she thought his reactions were just normal. She even thought, he was jealous!When suddenly, a loud knock on the door almost made her jump to her feet. If that was Enrique, then why was he sound upset? She immediately went towards the door and opened it.And she was right!A dark as the darkness outside face greeted her reluctant smile."Enrique, what brought you here?" Samantha anxiously asked."Brought you dinner. I know you didn't have dinner yet!" Enrique raised the food from a big styrofoam box."Please, come in. How do you
"I had a wonderful dinner, thank you. That chinese dish tastes good!" Samantha smiled at Enrique when they're finished eating and they're already in the basement."I'm glad you like it. If you have time, I will invite you for dinner!" Enrique also replied while fixing the neckline of her one piece casual dress.Albert was already in his car waiting for her. His glare was on the two while holding the steering wheel. He'd been watching them talking for ten minutes and it was really making him upset. Out of annoyance, he pushed the beep button to draw their attention.The two glanced at his direction and saw Samantha bowed and waved at Enrique while going to his car. She even looked over her shoulder and smiled back. She was about to open the backseat when Albert's deep voice rang on her ears."Take the passenger seat. I'm not your driver!""Ah! Okay!" Samantha simply replied."Snobbish prince!" she snorted in whisper while opening the passenger seat.
That night, Samantha was having a peaceful sleep while she hugged her pillow tight. But, in his case, he was staring at the ceiling still pondering on what could have happened if that annoying rain and wave didn't come to their way.He glanced at his phone on the side table. It was ten in the evening. Was she asleep he asked himself. But she slept the whole day today he also snapped back. His hand was itching to call her. He was about to reach his phone when his mind screamed 'NO! Let her rest, id*ot!'"Hrrrr!" out of annoyance, he kicked his duvet till half of it fell on the floor.He got up and strode out of his room. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He took a bottle of mineral water and gulped half of it. He was about to go back upstairs when he heard heavy steps at the dining room. He turned around and took a peek at the slightly open door.He smiled when he saw Samantha going to the kitchen. When he swung the door open, Samantha almost jumped to
"I had no idea, you two had met!" Lance uttered as he glanced at Benjamin and Madeline.The word 'displease' was written all over his face. They were having lunch at a high end restaurant near Houston Group Tower.Benjamin and Madeline accidentally saw each other in the mall one time when he was still with his mistress and Madeline was with Cheska, Chester's girlfriend.Now, Benjamin invited the father and daughter for lunch or to have a serious talk about Isabella's situation."Daddy, I didn't know you are friend with Mr. Madrigal. I just met him in his nephew's banquet before!" Madeline uttered while she was sitting beside her father."Business Associate, sweetheart. Not friends!" Lance corrected.Benjamin just chuckled at his rude behavior. He knew well he was upset with him. He was enraged by the fact that they had been played by Christopher Michaels 14 years ago."It's good seeing you again my former business associate!" he uttered with wry sm
In Maria's place...Fe stayed in their place which was an hour ride by bus from the mansion the whole weekend. She cooked dinner for Isabella since Maria was working at night. She also helped her with her chores.After their lunch..."Let me do your laundry, Isabella!" Fe offered when she saw that she was just gawking at the laundry machine."Ahm! I don't know how to use this. Can you teach me, Aunt Fe?" Isabella shyly uttered."Of course. Don't worry, this is easy. Come here!" Fe found Isabella adorable when she asked shyly. She thought of Samantha right away. They're the same she uttered inwardly. Just that Isabella acted really elegantly while Samantha was a bit careless."Make sure to separate your laundry first. There are some clothes that aren't machine wash. Let me see!" Fe scanned her dirty clothes while Isabella was getting redder and redder especially when she held her innerwear."Ahm, Aunt Fe. This is embarrassing!" Isabella took her lac
Isabella pretended to be fixing her sneakers while Fe was shielding her. Benjamin was getting closer and when he was in front of them, he stared at them for a while. Fe was trembling while Isabella was sweating."Something wrong with your shoes, young lady?" Benjamin asked while she glanced at Isabella."Ahm! She is tying her shoelaces, sir. She's my daughter!" Fe immediately responded."I see. Well, I am new here. I just wanna ask if you know which floor is the Chanel Store. My girlfriend is waiting for me there!" Benjamin suddenly uttered.Isabella was dumbstruck. Girlfriend she exclaimed in her thought. Was her uncle cheating on her aunt now? What a disgrace she grimaced.When their taxi had arrived, they felt relief. But was also stupefied when they saw Madeline rushing in."Oh! That's my girlfriend!" Benjamin happily uttered which made Isabella dumbfounded when she peeped at the woman he was talking about in between Fe's legs."Let's go!" Fe u
"Are you out of your mind?" Albert exclaimed in anger."She never left my side, Madeline. Did you just come here to bully her again?" also added.He was panting as he went in between them shielding Samantha from Madeline's sudden attack."I'm not lying, Albert. She was with a woman older than her. Probably her mother. She... She was the one who slapped me. She pushed me first then after that she slapped me!" Madeline was also trembling in anger.When she stared at Samantha who was behind Albert, she was stunned. That's the only time she realized the difference between her and Isabella."You're hair! It was short. It was shoulder length short and it's not wine color. It was black. You have black hair and you're wearing glasses and a baseball cap. You're wearing rugged fitted jeans and loose pink shirt. How did you change that fast? Were you just wearing a wig a while ago. Let me check those if they are wig or not!"She was trying to reach Samantha's hair
"I live in River Park. It's a land owned by the Michaels. Our original place was in Springville. It's were I grew up and spent my childhood days!" Samantha replied while staring at him.Her voice was sullen. She remembered how their small village was torn down to pieces right before their neighbors' eyes. Their friends and neighbors left the place with only worn-out bags and coins in their pockets. She remembered how she sat and slept on her aunt's shoulder on the cold cement ground waiting for almost an hour at twilight.She also remembered how Albert rescued all of them and gave them a new life. A curl up smile appeared at the corner of her lips upon recalling that certain moment where she was carried in his arm while cursing him in her heart. She just heard it from Andy when she was already awake that Albert was hurt with what she had told him while she's unconscious."What happened to Springville?" Enrique asked."It was torn down. The government sold it to a
