"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 fAndy 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
Samantha got out of the black Range Rover in the parking lot in their university. Rodrigo who worked incognito was watching her in the sideline. Mariana who acted as a medical student was always in her classes including her internship at Adamson Hospital.When she was about to enter her first class, the secretary of the university's director greeted her."Miss Samantha Reynolds, right?""Yes, ma'am. My name is Samantha Reynolds!" she respectfully replied."You have to come with me for a while. The director wants to speak with you. It's about your internship at the hospital!" the secretary carefully explained."Ma'am, is there a problem with my internship?" Samantha panicked.They were walking in big strides to the director's office while they spoke. This made the pregnant lady gasp while she was catching her breath."Are you okay? Don't worry about it. It's not serious!" the secretary explained as she glanced at her.Samantha just smiled and n
"Is this a joke? Where is our daughter?" Verga was now panicking.They'd been late for an hour for the civil wedding. When the servants said Madeline left with Albert and they took a black Aston Martin, they were even delighted thinking finally Albert agreed to their wedding.However, it had been thirty minutes since they left but no update from them yet. That's the time that Lance started fidgeting and the person who came first in his mind was Benjamin Madrigal."Mrs. Swan, instead of wasting your time gawking at my son, why not checked the cctvs in this villa?" it was Christopher and he couldn't hide his annoyance especially when he saw Lance for the first time after 14 years.Verga immediately followed Christopher's suggestion while Lance stayed staring deeply at him."You are enjoying this, aren't you?" Lance uttered in rage.Christopher just sneered at him. He patted his son's shoulder and called Andy on the phone."Get Albert out of this stin
After a week...Lance Swan's men found Madeline in a hotel lying on the bed naked. She was alone and her clothes including her underwear were scattered on the floor. When they asked the staffs who brought her in the hotel and how she was brought, they all responded the same thing. They took Albert's photo on the magazine and they said she went with him willingly.But Lance knew it was Benjamin who kidnapped his daughter. The same with Christopher, he could recognize Benjamin's posture when he walked or stood straight. He immediately ordered his men to search for him anywhere in the country but even before they could block him in the airport, it was shown in the airline company that he took a business class flight going back to Spain."I want that b*stard in my hands alive!" Lance roared in their living room.Verga was still mourning for her daughter's horrible situation. She was brought to the hospital for treatment and the doctor found out that she probably had
Enrique went back to the US to continue managing their branch in New York. Isabella went with him to study to one of the prestigious universities for aerospace engineering courses. She stayed in Enrique's villa with still tight security. Ten men in black shirt surrounding her every time she went out.Samantha stayed in Ireland to continue taking up medicine and she also took double major. One was Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and the other one was Physical Therapy.In Albert's side, he lost his appetite to lead their company. He was still their president but Christopher was mostly the one executing everything.Him?He vented his frustration on racing cars, joining multi-billion contest anywhere. Of course, included were lady fans who were dying to be with him in bed.Four years...Four years that Albert played havoc with his life to forget the woman he failed to protect."Albert, son! When will you stop fooling around and move on with y
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
