"Sir, why do you want Samantha to go back to Ireland?" Fe asked when the two youngsters left.
"Since Isabella is in your place now and Samantha is with us, it is for the best to bring them both back to their real family!" Christopher carefully replied.He knew Fe was hurting. He could feel she wanted Samantha to be with her till she had her own family. She treated her like her own daughter and it pained her to the core if she would leave."But they are in danger and Enrique Houston. He is here. What about tell him his sisters are here? What about explain well to him that incident 14 years ago?" Fe was still doubting and reluctant to face the truth.Sebastian was patting her back keeping her calm. As much as possible, he also didn't want Samantha to leave but that was the sad fact. She was not theirs. She had a family. She had her real life. A Houston life!"Fe, it's the sad truth. We have to face it!" Sebastian uttered while he kept on stroking his wife's back.ButAlbert's assistant left his office after their meeting but Christopher hadn't come back since then. He got up from his seat and looked for his father. When he saw Christopher at the parking lot, in the smoking area, he slowly walked towards him avoiding to disturb whatever it was in his mind that time. But Christopher saw his shadow illuminating from the brick wall. He turned around, put off his cigarette, and threw it in the bin."You know that mom Lauren will never allow you to smoke. Do you disobey your wife now?" he teased as he stood straight beside him. His hands were in his pockets.Christopher chuckled at his remarks as he tapped his shoulder. He was about to go back when Albert stopped him with his question."Who called dad?""It's Sebastian. He was with his daughter. By the way, is there something going on with you and Samantha?" he intentionally asked channeling their conversation to another topic."Yes! We both have feelings for each!" he replied frankly a
A month had passed...Samantha walked like a zombie beside Andrea going to the canteen of their school. They just had their practical exam and would go to a hospital nearby for their internship after. They were both interns in Adamson Hospital, a ten minutes walk from their school."Sam, would you like to go with me in Cymbals after our schedule?" Andrea asked while wrapping her hand around her arm.Andrea was always the energetic one. After their hospital schedules, she could still jam and have some booze at the bar. Sometimes, she was with Edward and Chester. Other times, she was alone."I'm going home after our hospital sched. I wanna rest!" Samantha said in a weak tone."Are you okay? Sam, to be honest since last week, you look so down. Is there something wrong with you? You're still staying at Enrique's villa, right?" Andrea halted in her steps and glanced at her pale look. She touched her forehead if she had fever but her temperature is normal."I
"Master Christopher Michaels, what a pleasant surprise!" Enrique uttered to the man standing in the entrance of his office.He was in his late forties but with his physique, people could mistakenly took him as ten years younger than his age. Boasting a domineering aura, Christopher gracefully walked towards Enrique who was also a dominant figure in his looks especially when he raised his chin as he placed his hands in his trousers' pockets.Their eyes had met as their stance were both strong and imposing. Their stares were asking who would speak next."Señorito Enrique Houston. I don't need to hide myself from you anymore coz I know you are aware about me!" till it was Christopher who pushed the button."Please have a seat, sir and you are older than me so you don't really have to call me señorito!" Enrique explained as he offered him to sit on the five-seater Italian couch just in front of his desk."You're indeed a Houston blood. A part of Ja
"Samantha!"His voice was like a roaring thunder. The servants in his villa had never heard him called someone like that before. Even Esther hid behind the door frame in the dining room peeping to the foot of the stairs once in a while.She could see Enrique looking up on the second floor while holding the handrails. His face was as dark as the night. His eyes were narrowed and his eyebrows furrowed in a sideview look."Esther, is it true? We've heard Señorita Samantha is pregnant!" Digna, their chef nudged her.When Esther turned around, Digna was already behind her. She just nodded as she gestured Digna to keep quiet."Samantha, we need to talk. I'm not angry, okay?" Enrique gently uttered thinking Samantha got scared of his loud voice.When Enrique couldn't get an answer, he climbed upstairs in big strides stepping two steps ahead like he was running out of time.In Samantha's side, she had been hiding behind the bathroom door since she heard Enrique's roar f
Andy called Albert's private doctor to seal what happened to him from the prying eyes of both mainstream and social media. When Doctor Eve Garner, arrived at his office and saw him leaning on his swivel chair with eyes closed, she sighed to get his attention.Albert drowsily opened his eyes as they were slowly outlining a woman with blonde wave length hair and a sneering smile."Seems like you have gone out having a boxing match!" Eve mocked while putting her first aid medical box on the center table.Albert ignored her words and just blankly staring at her. Eve had been his personal doctor since last year. They were of the same age but h*ck she graduated medicine really early. She was packed with a brain where medical students would say, the 'platinum' one. The Michaels hired her to be Albert's private doctor just right after her graduation.Aside from that, she was also a beauty. And a complete neat freak. It was a good thing, Albert's assistant cleaned the mes
Saturday!The weather was nice. It wasn't hot nor cold. The leaves were changing their colors and the wind breeze was cool.Autumn was here!When Samantha and Enrique went to the gyne, the doctor told them she was more than three weeks pregnant and she had to be careful for the fetus wasn't that strong.Enrique prepared everything for her health and safety including food nutrients, stress-free environment, and comfortable transportation going to school of which the frowning pregnant lady wasn't used to."I think this is too much!" she whined like a kid as she sat on the couch with her hands crossed over her chest.Enrique just laughed at her adorable sulking. He instructed Esther to prepare for her favorite cravings but she sulked even more."Do you have other fruits? I want cherries!" Samantha pouted as she stamped her feet.Enrique chuckled as he sat beside her. She stroked her hair and told Esther to obey her request. The latter was just smiling. Samantha
Enrique carried Isabella up and twirled her around. She was still amused with her big brother's attitude but she didn't say anything anymore. When he gently put her down, Isabella couldn't still believe with what's going on at the moment."Ahm! Big brother, aren't you mad at me? I ran away from home!" Isabella's kissable lips were twitching while her light brown orbs were entreating him to give her a light punishment.They totally forgot about Samantha and the other remaining people in the living room who were still gawking at them. Sebastian's family couldn't help but to admire the bond between Enrique and Isabella.Based from how they treated each other, the siblings were inseparable. Isabella was like a spoiled sweet sister while Enrique was a caring and protective big brother."Why would I get mad at you. I totally understand why you ran away!" Enrique rubbed his sister's head like how he usually did to Samantha."Hrm!"When suddenly the sensitive p
"F*ck that Michaels!"Jaden kicked the planters outside of Sebastian's place while venting his anger on Albert. He wasn't even satisfied that he picked up one pot and was about to smash it on the ground when Maria stopped him."Hey! Hey! One is enough, okay? Not my plants!" she took the pot from him and gently put it in its original place."Calm down, Jaden. For Sam's sake!" she also reminded the trembling in anger young lad in front of her."I'm gonna kick his balls. I'm gonna beat him!" his teeth was gritting and his fists were clenched tight."You don't have to do that. I already did it last week!" when Enrique barged in. He went out of the house and talked to Jaden and Maria.Jaden and Maria turned around and glanced at him looking puzzled with what he just said."You mean, you two... fought?" Maria asked in confirmation which Enrique just shrugged off."Oh my! That's great! How does he look like? Did you give him a black eye? Ah, noseblee
