Samael’s POV
I was angry, angry at myself and Shane. How dare he fucking call me and threatened me about Ella. I was so angry or more like livid. Shane and Mia want to meet Ella and take her with them. They never treated her like their daughter, I was there for her whenever she cried or needed help with something. I was there for her to love her and care for her, they both never bothered. And now, as I have Ella’s custody, they want her back with them. I would never let my sister live with those monsters. Never.
I saw the confusion and questions written on Caroline’s face but couldn’t open up to her. When she held my hand in the elevator, I just wanted to tell her everything. But I held myself and tried to just give her a weak smile that I was fine or will be fine. After we reached in front of our door, she pulled her hand out of my grip, and suddenly I felt cold. I wanted her hand back in my hand and I wanted her to be close to
Caroline’s POVI don’t know why but knowing that Samael has never had a girlfriend made me feel good somehow. It’s also hard to digest that a 25-years-old man has never had a woman in his life ever, but the fact that Samael dint exactly gave a reason made me curious somehow. He ended the conversation as he didn’t want to say anymore but I felt like there was more. Then again, it’s none of my business to know about him, but he makes me curious and sometimes it feels like I have to know about him. “Wow! It’s so amazing!” Ella said as we walked towards the British Museum. She was walking with Samael while I and Peter walked just behind them. I saw Peter looking at his phone with a frown and a sad expression.“What is it, Peter?” I asked him with an eyebrow raised.“Um, nothing Caroline. Don’t worry.” Peter turned his gaze at me and shoved his phone in his po
The museum was beautiful and amazing. Ella enjoyed it a lot as she gasped every second whenever she saw something new or different. We came out of the museum around six in the evening. The sky was shades of orange indicating the sunset. Carline bought some donuts and churros for us as we headed towards London bridge. We found a place and parked the car, getting out we were able to see the amazingly beautiful sight in front of us, of London bridge as the sunsets.“WOW!” Ella chuckled surprised at the beautiful sight in front of her.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Caroline asked with a smile and Ella nodded at her as they both gazed at the sight in front of us. Her blonde hair was open, the light breeze making them flow back and my heartbeat speeds up. Her blue eyes shined as she took in the sight in front of her. Her lips stretched into a beautiful soft smile melting my heart.“Yeah, absolutely beautiful,” I whispered
Caroline’s POVHow did that happen? I haven’t talked about my parents in so many years to anyone. As soon as I utter about them, all the memories came back, and I went to the washroom to calm myself down.After dinner, we went to our hotel and bid our goodnights. Ella hugged me before she walked into her room with Samael, and Peter came and hugged me.“It’s okay,” he said and patted my back with a smile, and I know what he was talking about. I gave him a tight looped smile with a nod and went into my room as he went in his.I took a long bath to clear my head and compose myself. I wore my nightdress and walked into my room. I switched off the lights and sat on the sofa that’s on the balcony. I felt calm and relaxed as I gazed outside. I had a beautiful city view from the balcony and the silence which is like music to my ears. Suddenly I heard a knock on my door and I frown. Who would be, this late? gett
I don’t know what came over me when I say she looked beautiful. Tough, I was honest, the way her smile spilled from her face made me think I said something wrong. I dint meant to say it out loud, I thought I said it in my head.“Why are you nervous, Sama?” Ella asked me as we both sat in front of each other, having our breakfast. I was ready for the meeting already, wearing black trousers, a light blue shirt, and black formal shoes.“I am not nervous, Ella,” I tell her and continued to have my breakfast, while she eyed me and tried to find the answer to her question.“Yes, you are. It is because of the presentation that you are supposed to present?” She asked and I sighed as I finished my breakfast.“Yeah, something like that,” I muttered and saw her giving me a nod.“Well, don’t worry. I know my brother is going to do amazing!” she said with a grin on her face which made me sm
I watched as Samael gave the presentation and for some reason, I was not able to look away from him. The way he panicked when I almost broke my ankle made me smile and felt wired yet good that he was worried about me. He stole a few glances at me here, before he fully turned to me when he finished the presentation.“So, do you think about it?” I turned my gaze from Samael to the men and women sitting around the table, who smiled at me before nodding.“You have the deal, Ms. Martinez.”After discussing for a few more minutes, we sealed the deal. Everyone left soon after leaving me and Samael in the conference room. I turned around to see him already looking at me with a smile on his face.“Congratulations, boss!” Samael said and I rolled my eyes at him for calling me boss, tough a smile stretched on my lips.“Thank you, congratulations to you too and the presentation was amazing Samael.” I complimented
Samael’s POVI took a long breath as soon as I entered the balcony. The fresh early morning breeze made me feel content and the beautiful sky made a smile form on my face. leaning on the railing I thought about my life.It’s been so long since I have felt content or at peace. Coming here to London, felt like a break even though I did work on the presentations and all. I loved it here, and it was our last day. In the evening we will be back to our life and I will be again busy with everything.I don’t know how I feel about the fact that I don’t have any place which I can call my home. My childhood was horrible and the place where I was living was not less than hell. Also, the fact that the man I lived with was not less than devil either.And now, I have escaped that place and that people with my little sister, yet I don’t feel content. I still fear that they will come after us and try to take her from me. she
Caroline’s POV “Thank you,” I said to the taxi driver after paying and got out of the car.I took a deep breath when I saw the beautiful garden in front of me. the trees, flowers, and the stone path were bringing back the beautiful memories from my childhood. The sky was clear and the birds chirping could be here in the silent surrounding. People were walking and sitting around but the environment was peaceful, making a smile stretch on my lips.“I see you love this place.” I heard Samael’s voice and nodded at him without looking at him.“I do, it’s the garden I use to visit with my parents whenever we came here. It has a lot of memories, good memories.” I don’t know why I told him that, but I just felt like sharing. When I looked at him, he just smiled at me softly with a knowing look.“Wow, it’s pretty here!” Ella walked towards us.“I hop
Samael’s POV“London’s eye! Oh my god, it’s so huge!” Ella jumped up and down with excitement which made Caroline and me chuckle.“Come on, let’s go,” Caroline said and I nodded at her in agreement as we walked towards it and Ella followed us while taking pictures.“Caroline!” Ella said making us stop.“Yes, Ella?” Caroline asked turning around to look at her as she waited for Ella to walk towards her.“Thank you for taking us wherever you took us in there a few days. I really enjoyed it, thank you so much!” Ella said as she held onto Caroline’s hand.“You are welcome, Ella,” Caroline replied with a smile on her face.We walked towards London’s eye and when we were up in the sky, I felt like it was the most beautiful view I have ever seen. The sky was getting darker and the city lights looked beautiful. The mome
Caroline’s POVI sighed and looked up when Samael held my hand, while aunt Maria and the man sat in front of us. The place was not too crowded, after an awkward silence I decided to speak up.“What is going on with you aunt Maria?” I asked directly.“Fine, I'll tell you everything. But in exchange of the truth, I want something from you.” she said trying to look confident but could tell she was nervous. “What is it?” I asked.“I want you to put Victor in jail.” she said making me frown.“What? For what?” I was confused and weirded out by her demand. “Not everything you see is truth and Victor is the prime example of that.” she said with a sigh, I saw the man beside her holding her hand and aunt Marie giving a small smile at him before turning towards me and continuing. “Victor is abusive. He has been for a long time now. At first, I tried to keep it a secret because of Mason and then when he grew up Victor threatened me to harm Mason if I said anything to anyone. He is greedy, he w
Caroline's POV“How do you like the food?” I asked when I saw her eyes sparkle when she ate. We were currently eating our dinner in a restaurant after we finished watching the movie. “It’s good.” she said happily eating another mouthful of bite, making me smile at her adoringly. She looks cute and “Better than mine?” I asked teasingly knowing she likes my cooking. “Hm, yes.” I said and we both chuckled before continuing to eat and have some random topics to talk about.After the dinner, we walked outside, it was dark outside but as we walked, I heard the noise of seashore.“Let’s take a walk around the shore.” I suggested to which he gave me a nod before we walked towards the beach. We stood for a moment looking at the sea silently, cold air swept around. The moonlight reflected in the water and the scene was beautiful, which made me calm and feel content in way. I felt something touching my hand and I looked down to see, Samael’s hand holding my tightly. I looked at him, who was
Samael’s POV“Hello James.” I greeted as soon I answered the call, while walking in the room.“Sam, I need to speak with Ms. Martinez. I have been trying to connect with her but her phone is out of range.” James said making me frown as he sounded nervous and serious.“Oh, what happened you sound serious?”“Yes, it’s urgent. I need to speak with Ms. Martinez. Is it possible for you to connect with her.”“Um, yeah. Hold on a second, will you.”“Okay” he exhaled and I walked down stairs to find Caroline. I saw her watching television with Ella beside her. I signaled her to walk outside for a minute, she frowned but followed me out.“It’s James, he wants to talk with you, it seems urgent.” I said and handed the phone to her and walked inside when I saw Ella calling me by waving her hand.“What?” I asked her taking the single chair.“What are you going to do now?” Ella asked me making me frown.“About what?” I asked raising an eye brow to which she rolled her eyes.“Bro! Aren't you going t
Caroline’s POVI shifted closer to the campfire as the heat from the campfire cut the coldness of the air. It was dark, I was able to hear the water flowing and the beautiful moon made everything much amazing.It was late and everyone was in the tent, but I stayed outside because I was not sleepy yet and it felt amazing outside. I felt calm and content, a small smile stretched on my lips as I sighed and closed my eyes for a few seconds. “Aren't you cold?” my eyes snapped open as I heard Samael’s voice. He walked towards me and placed a blanket around my shoulders.He wasn’t wearing his glasses again, which made me admire his beautiful eyes and I noticed he was wearing a thick jacket on his casual attire now. He sat next to me looking at the campfire and I looked at him observing his handsome face. His black hair was sickled back, his skin looked golden because of the campfire, his sharp nose and jawline looked prominent. His hazel eyes looked like they were dusted with golden power m
Samael’s POVOne thing that takes my mind off everything is cooking, which slowly became my hobby as it helps me relax in a way. Turning off the stove, I turned and kept the breakfast on the dining table with some bread, butter, fruits, and omelets.“Good morning!” Ella walked down the stairs with a huge smile on her face which instantly made me smile. I saw Caroline who was just behind Ella, she looked like she must have just showered because of her wet hair. Even though she was just wearing casual clothes, she looked beautiful.“Good morning though it’s almost afternoon now, you are just on time brunch is ready,” I said while filling plates for both.“Wow! Thanks, Sam, let’s eat.” Ella and Caroline sat beside each other with their plates and started eating. I deliberately took a seat in front of Caroline who still hasn’t made eye contact with me yet.“Look at you. Doesn’t even bother for me to join.” Justin snorted at Ella as he came and sat beside me, who has not showered.“I know
Caroline’s POVAfter I told Justin to go and help Samael, I took a quick shower. Ella was taking a nap on our bed so I walked toward the balcony. It was dark now, the beautiful evening sky was gone, replaced with a dark blanket decorated with shining stars.I was unable to see the river flowing by the house but was able to hear the retelling of the water through it. a breeze of cold wind made my eyes flutter close and sigh in contentment. I felt peaceful, I like this feeling.A small smile stretched on my lips as I remembered how Samael was stealing glances at me the whole ride back from the market. I was able to feel his gaze on me but choose to not react to that. I have felt his gaze on me many times in the office too but brushed it off. But I never admitted that I liked how his eyes follow my every action. I like his attentiveness towards me, it makes me feel special.“Wow, the sky looks so beautiful!” I turned to look at Ella who has her eyes fixed on the sky.“You are up,” I said
Samael’s POVI am stupid.She looked so pretty in her casual clothes, hair down, light eyes, and soft smile, as she gazed at the sky above that was turned in the shades of orange, red, purple, etc. Tough for some reason my eyes dint left her face, looking at her I somehow felt … content.While driving back to the rented house, the car was silent and I liked that it was a comfortable silence. While Caroline dozed off in her seat and I drove while taking a few glances at her.When we reached the house, it was dark I stopped the car and sighed. The lights in the house and street lights around were also turned on. I was able to hear the river water flowing and music playing in the house, which I confident was played by Justin. He loves music, a lot, and because of him, Ella has started to like music a lot.I turned to look at Caroline and a soft smile stretched on my lips. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight. I slowly and softly brushed strands of hair from her face trying to not wak
Caroline’s POV“You seem excited and nervous at the same time,” Peter said as we drove to the airport.“I am. It’s my first vacation after working hard for so many years, I need a break so I feel excited. But at the same time, it’s my first vacation without my parents, it feels a little wired and I feel a little nervous.” I said with a shrug.“I understand and I am glad you invited Mr. Wright and his sister Ella to join you,” Peter said making me nod in agreement.“Yeah, I think I will be fine as I won’t be alone,” I muttered to which Peter smiled at me.“Here we are.” He announced making me sigh and get ready to start my vacation. After parking our car, we walked inside and met with Samael and Ella who were already waiting for us.“Hello, Caroline and Mr. Peter!” Ella greeted us with a huge grin on her face and excitement in her eyes, making me smile at her.“Hi, Ella. Good to see you.” After all the greetings, Ella introduced a man who was standing with them.“Caroline, this is my f
Samael’s POVI was surprised when Caroline said that, making me freeze but something made my heart flutter. I could sense Justin and Ella looking at me wide-eyed when they heard Caroline, as the phone was on speaker because Ella wanted to talk to Caroline. Ella took the phone from my hand while I was sitting there thinking about Caroline’s offer.“Yes! It’s me, Ella. I would love to go on a vacation with you … and also Samael.” Ella said with a huge grin on her face.“Oh, Ella. Hi, that’s good to know. I will inform you after planning everything.” Caroline said and I could sense relief in her voice.“Yes, that would be great. Wait, would you mind, if my friend tagged along with us?” Ella asked making me frown. Who does Ella want to go with us?“Um, … yeah, okay. No problem.” Caroline said a little unsure but Ella dint picks it.“Yay! Thank you, Caroline! Here talk with my brother.” Ella said holding the phone in my hand. Turning off the speaker, I stood up and turned around to talk wi
