Chapter 53: The Beautiful Chef
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56From inside the two-carat conference room, every guest of Clayton Brown and Annie Davis had been sighing in gratification with the food in front of them.
Starting with a plate of shrimp taco bites as their appetizer canape, they were all amused by the wonderful combination! A single shrimp was placed on top of a generous amount of guacamole, and beneath it was a taco shell just over an inch size.
They all felt the three pieces of which that were on their plates were not enough.
When the salads were served, more compliments were given to the surprisingly new flavor of the green dish.
At the table where the engaged couple sat, Annie Davis could not help but observe, "I don't remember the salad to have watermelon on it. Do you, Clay?"
After swallowing down his salad, Clayton answered, "No, even the sauce seems different. It tasted more... creamy and just a little sweet. They probably made some changes, but I like it."

Hearing the name of Clayton Brown and Annie, her stepsister, Samantha contemplated going to the two-carat conference room.She instantly paled at the idea of seeing her stepmother and stepsister. All the more, seeing her father. However, what pushed her to present herself was the convincing of the F&B Manager. She was told, "This would be very good publicity for the hotel, Chef Sam, and I'm sure the boss would love it!""You seem like you are hesitating, Chef Sam." From one corner of the kitchen, Chef Matteo remained to study Samantha's movements. He could not help but probe, seeing the reluctance in Samantha's expression.Samantha cleared her throat and replied, "It's just that... I am not used to speaking in front of a crowd, but I suppose... it's also part of my job."She forced a smile and added, "Let me just give additional instructions to the chefs and I'll be right behind you.""I'll see you at the two-carat conference room,

Yet, here he was standing in front of their table, calling Samantha his wife?!'No!' Her head was yelling in denial!At first, the possibility that Samantha was still after Clayton fueled her displeasure, recalling how much she adored Clayton in the past.Annie successfully managed to win Clayton over and she had already considered herself triumphant for having taken the attention that was given to Samantha, but now... why did it feel like she was still a loser in comparison to her stepsister?!Annie Davis's insides were screaming with envy!She clearly noticed how Ethan Wright was giving her and

"Did you know about Samantha getting involved with the Wrights?" General Winfield Davis asked Matilda as she was being rested by her caregiver to bed. "Are they really married?"He purposely came to his mother's room to talk about the daughter that he had forgotten."Winfield, how long has it been since you did not care for your own daughter - your flesh and blood! Why start now?" Matilda asked in return. "If you really want to know... why not speak to your own daughter?""Mother, does Ethan know of Samantha's past?" Winfield Davis tried to probe again, but Matilda did not answer. "If they are married, how come both of them were not wearing any wedding rings?"It was a specific instruction coming from Ethan, not to let the General and his new family know the truth about Samantha and Ethan until they were ready to present themselves to them. Thus, Matilda could only go around in a circle and create a lie."I don't know. Go ask her yourse

[WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENTS, NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS]Samantha was feeling the chill around the room, hearing the rain still pouring outside the mansion, but it wasn't the only thing she sensed.She noticed how big hands were all over her bare skin, going under her sleeping dress and how she received pecks on her face and neck.Her eyes fluttered open and saw her half-naked husband putting his arms under her body. She whispered, "Ethan? What are you doing?""Shhhh... Waking you up," the man said while gradually lifting Samantha with his arms. "Don't worry, I placed pillows around the kids."Samantha only had a second to look, observing her twins still dozing off on the bed with pillows around them.Looking back at her husband, she asked, "Where are you taking me?"With tightening eyes, Ethan softly answered, "To the bathroom.""What? What time is it? Why are we going to the bathroom?" Sama

Samantha reported to work at seven in the morning. She wanted to observe the breakfast service at the hotel, aiding Anthony, her sous chef that day.As she enforced new dishes and imposed new rules in her kitchen, she was at least satisfied how her executive sous chef had begun his work without complaining.The only catch was, he was giving her a silent treatment. Still, Samantha thought the fact that Matteo was back to work meant he accepted defeat. She now only had to win his friendship.With the exception of one sous chef named Deana, everyone was back to work.Deana, the bitter and number one follower of Matteo, called in sick that day. Thankfully, it was not such a busy day.Being a Tuesday, the rest of the morning was somewhat quiet. At eleven in the morning, Samantha found herself yawning from inside the kitchen.She then thought about her husband and so she leaned back on one side of the wall, just

The afternoon was another quiet time for the kitchen. So Samantha took the chance to discuss with her team the upcoming grand opening of the hotel. They were two weeks away and like as she did with their regular dishes; she wanted to make some slight modifications to the planned courses.Since they did not have any orders at three in the afternoon, nor were the reservations in the evening that significant, they tested on her alterations, cooking the required dishes according to Samantha's adjustments.The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was made closed for their own food tasting and discussion over the dishes."Hmmm... This is just heaven," remarked Anthony. "Wonder why I never tried it this way!""I love the mix seafood dish!" Remarked Jane. "I did not think it was possible to use lemon leaves as an added aroma!"Samantha chuckled and said to them, "Sometimes, you learn things as you cook for your child."Matteo, on the other han

The middle of the week was surprisingly busier for the hotel. Both restaurants of the First Diamond Hotel were packed with guests.It was thanks to Belinda Lopez's feature of the hotel on a Wednesday morning that reservations came through in the afternoon and in the evening itself.On a Thursday night, The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was crowded!Samantha wound up coming home very late in the evening that day, fulfilling the very last order, not wanting to leave her team on their very first rewarding night.Entering the master bedroom, Samantha greeted her husband, "Hey there, handsome.""Hmmm. Is it normal for the wife to come home much later than her husband?" Ethan answered while putting aside his laptop.Samantha chuckled and climbed right next to him on the bed. She, herself, warranted for a kiss, crashing into his arms and lips.That prompted Ethan to wrap his arms around Samantha and caressing her angelic f

"Chef Sam, someone... is here to see you," said one of the servers of the Pearl Diamond Restaurant on a Friday afternoon.Samantha was just about to finish the lunch service with her team when she was informed of a visitor so formally. She frowned and asked, "Is it, my husband?""No, Chef... It's General Davis," said the food attendant. "What should I say?"Feeling her heart racing, Samantha paled at the name of her father. She repeatedly flickered her eyes for seconds. Only after seeing the strange expression coming from the food attendant and some kitchen staff did she say, "Ummm... Why don't you bring him to the lobby lounge and I'll follow.""Yes, Chef Sam.""You okay?" Matteo asked, seeing her expression. "What's with you and the military? You had the same scared expression when you went to see the Brown couple."Turning to Matteo, Samantha answered, "Ummm... It's a long story. Do you mind taking over?""Of course," said Ma

Ultimately, he wanted to make a hotel chain, keeping the Diamond brand. Kenzie and Kyle accelerated two years ahead, making them ready for high school after a year.While still young, both were fixated on their dreams and already had a map outlined for them to follow. Kyle wanted to be a computer engineer while Kenzie wanted to be a model or an actress. While the entertainment industry was not what Ethan dreamed for his child, he understood that he should not be in the way of his daughter's dream. He supported them by giving outside-of-school classes.

Her golden hair already grew down to her back, and she did not seem to have aged at all.She had her hair somewhat straightened, with just enough waves to give life to her still angelic face.It was thanks to Ethan's pampering that she always had time to take care of herself.Getting her hair and make-up done in front of a vanity table, she received compliments left and right."Mrs. Wright, you are so beautiful. Your husband must really adore you.""Mr. and Mrs. Wright are perfect for each other."Samantha smiled as they fixed her up. She said, "I am... confident about that too. We are a great pair."Still, it was because she was wondering about the dress she was about to wear that she asked, "Although the dress has Sapphire gems on them, does it look to you as a wedding gown?""No, no.

Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant asked.Looking into his wife's eyes, Winfield Davis answered, "I do."After the priest asked the same Sarah Davis, she smiled back at her husband and answered, "I do.""May your love be eternal and undying. In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy matrimony, you may now kiss the bride," the officiant closed, encouraging Sarah and Winfield to face the crowd.Smiles could be seen between Winfield and Sarah as they officially remarry after a year of moving to their new home.Cheers and

It has been a memorable and challenging years, serving my country, but the time has come for me to give my attention to my lovely wife, Sarah, and to my daughter," Announced Winfield Davis as he stood in front of a podium.Flashes could be heard around the military stadium where many of the reporters were invited to witness the General's official statement as he stepped down being the head of the nation's armed forces.Finally, after two years of requesting from the government, Winfield was granted the chance to retire early and spend the rest of his time with his family."And with my official retirement, I am proud to reveal the next general to follow in my footsteps!"

"Doctor? How is it?" Ethan asked after the doctor came back in with the results of Samantha's recent laboratories.The doctor sat on his desk and reviewed the documents. After a while, he answered, "Everything is normal, and it has been for more than a year now."With a smile on his face, the doctor added, "I suppose it's safe to say that the Kannareth disease will no longer manifest."While Samantha was pregnant, she had monthly laboratories done, just to keep her health monitored.Shortly after giving birth, they have switched to quarterly visits to the doctor, and thankfully, Samantha showed no signs of the Kannareth disease.The doctor scoffed and declared, "So the pregnancy may have really helped!""We think so, doctor. In fact, BNU pharmaceuticals are already looking into this angle." Ethan leaned back in his seat and told, "I have even funded their research so more women who are affected by this illness will find a solutio

Six months passed.Both Kaleb and Kate were growing up well. The twins were gaining weight fast as well.They were able to easily sit up with minimal support at six months, already able to play with their siblings, blabber, and giggle happily as they did."Crawl to me, Kate!" Kenzie called as she and Kyle were playing with their younger siblings from inside the nursery."And Kaleb, come to me!" Kyle encouraged.The four of them were inside a fenced area of the nursery, with floor mats and with stuffed toys and other toys fit for their age.Nearly every day, Kenzie and Kyle had made it a habit to play with their siblings in the afternoon. Their Mommy usually joined them whenever Samantha would get off from work early.Kate and Kaleb excitedly crawled in the direction of their siblings, racing as they giggled in thrill.With Kaleb's stronger built, however, he managed to arrive firs

"John, I'm taking a paternity leave for two weeks," Ethan told his assistant on the phone.He heard John Garcia's awkward response, "Ah, boss. Your family owns the company, so you don't need to ask permission."There was silence between them before Ethan said, "I know that, John. I am telling you so you can clear my schedule and do what you needed to do. As necessary, see me at home with important documents.""In any case, Dad will stand in for me," Ethan added."Yes, Mr. Wright, and congratulations on your babies! May I just say, I am very - very happy for you," said John.Putting down the phone, Ethan turned to his little man, sleeping in the hospital crib. He smiled, took Kaleb in his arms, and said, "Mommy will have to keep visiting your sister for some time... So I guess, you'll spend more time with Daddy for two weeks."Soon, Samantha came in with Sarah, being brought with a wheelchair. Samantha said, "I'm ready to go

2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth. "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored. "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child. "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b
