“Mum, it’s okay. You know what it is their loss. They don’t have the slightest idea what they just missed. I could literally punch those stupid judges in the face right now,” Bella says angrily. She looked so frustrated for Samantha that it made her feel better.
At least her children value her, and that was enough to cheer her up.
“Come here,” Samantha says with a smile before she lifts her arm so that Bella can lie on her chest, which she does.
“Mom, I feel so sad still,” Bella said, pouting.
She sighed and then said with a bitter smile, “If I were supposed to get the part, then I would have gotten it. Yes, I tried, and it didn’t go as expected, which, of course, broke my heart, but it was worth it because I learned a precious lesson from it. I knew that no matter how much you believe in your capabilities, there will always be better than you.”
Samantha was calm and placed a kiss on
Michelle woke up and then looked at her husband, who was still sleeping, back facing her. She wanted to hug him but was afraid that he would get upset again. In the end, she sighed heavily and decided to just leave Lenard fast asleep.In fact, she is not sure whether she is mad at Lenard or not, following their conversation the previous night. Perhaps she was being her usual moody self, and Lenard was not in the mood to deal with that.Was she having her period? Perhaps. She loves Lenard so much but doesn’t understand why they can’t be a normal couple and stop fighting every day. It was not like that when they were just starting.A part of Michelle was getting worried. She was worried that their
“Hello, can we talk?” Samantha reads as it pops up on her screen. She was lying on her bed, wondering whether or not she should text Lenard. Well, now it’s Lea.“Hey, yeah. What’s wrong?” Samantha replies immediately. She was concerned as it was the first time that Lenard seemed to need something. It was always the other way around.“My wife. He won’t talk to me.”Samantha frowned. Did they fight? She replied, “Am so sorry, what happened?”“It’s a long story, and it is really giving me a headache. Uhm, are you free tomorrow? We can have lunch together, my treat. If you feel uncomfortable, that’s okay. I completely understand.” Lenard texted back.Samantha stiffened. Is it right to meet another married man? What would others say if they learned of it?However, despite her worry, Samantha really
“Church?” Lenard asks, surprised as if he did not expect that answer. In fact, he also thought that he did not even go to Church for a while already.When was the last time I even got out to meet new people before this? Lenard questioned himself bitterly. He felt that he had missed out on a lot of fun in life recently.“Yeah, I am a Christian,” Samantha said proudly.“Wow, I am sorry. It is just that sometimes I even forget the existence of churches. You should teach me staff about the Church someday if you don’t mind.” Lenard said with a soft smile. In fact, he was not lying. He was really interested. Perhaps if he also brought Michelle along, they would meet someone who could help them with their current issues.“I would love to,” Samantha agreed cheerfully.“Thanks, because I really need a break from everything.” He replied and then sighed tiredly. At this time, he realiz
Samantha smiles and goes back inside the house. Everyone is upstairs, but the lights are still on. She locks the door and goes to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. She switches off the lights and goes upstairs.Bobby is already asleep. She changes to her pajamas and goes to bed. She is thankful and prays that everything will change for the better soon.Samantha wakes up before Bobby. She takes her phone to look at the time and finds she has an email from Bella.The email’s subject is a job vacancy. She takes a deep breath and opens it. She learns that an upcoming company in New York is looking to hire a secretary. She goes through the qualifications, and fortunately, she has met all of them. She gets her laptop, quickly follows the instruction, and successfully submits the requirements.Samantha thanks God for the opportunity and prays for a chance to work for the company if it is God’s will. She texts Bella, “thank you, honey,”

Still, it was all due to her need to see the good side of life and people, especially when they did not have any that always caused that on many occasions, she tried to maintain a relationship that was clearly doomed to failure.That is why she had taken a strong stance.

“Because I was watching you!”She smiled at that statement, and the final auction event was announced.He offered his arm, and with a smile, he said, “Let me escort you to the auction.”She looked at him doubtfully but only in that event, only that night that action would not harm her. Taking Rick’s arm, they both headed in the direction where the final auction would take place.The auction started as planned, and everyone present enjoyed the event. Tina would see the objects that were auctioned, and many of them had spectacular histories. Ancient jewels that fetched exorbitant prices or relics that in themselves could have the history of entire nations.Both enjoyed the auction while joking. Tina found Rick extremely interesting. His way of speaking and his general interests attracted her, and while the jewels were auctioned, Rick said, "None of these relics attract you?"Tina saw them, and they all clearly att
The man behind the line seemed to expect that answer and said, “We know! The person who sent the bouquet says that this would probably be your response, so he did ask us to give you the address, and you will be free to decide whether to go or not!”Tina received the information, she could not believe what was happening, she looked around her.At that moment her friend Essa arrived, she saw what was happening and while Tina was thinking clearly the receptionist updated her on the situation, Tina seeing her best friend started wishing that the person who sent those flowers wasn't Daril.She looks at the bouquet, took a deep breath, and said, looking at the two women who seemed to adore the scene.“There is only one way to find out who sent this!”And with those words, she smiling made the determination to attend the dinner.Tina considerably intrigued by the bouquet of flowers and the invitation, she prepared to go stra
She snorted, and placing her hand on Rick’s cheek, she said, “Relax, he is nobody... there is nothing to worry about!”Rick smiled, and they both kissed. Tina felt how the sky came down to meet her every time they kissed, the greatness of her world was spreading in her chest, and she could not help but think that a distant place celebrated her happiness was official. She was madly in love with him.The months weighed heavily, and her relationship only improved. Her dates and her tranquility seemed to be completely in tune, everyone was flowing naturally, and one night of the new moon, she gave herself up. Her fear was strong. She feared that that was all that Rick wanted, but it was not like that, he loved her as much as she loved him, and her union was the proof of that. After her body joined, life changed.Things seemed only to get better, and there was no reason to hesitate, only a few nights a month, Rick didn't seem to be available, and th
