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
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
“Get up, Samael!” the man shouted and kicked the boy laying on the floor. The boy looked up at the man who happened to be his father and his hazel eyes filled with fear. Though it was tough for him to stand up with one broken leg, yet he managed to do so with the help of the wall. As soon as the boy stood up, the man held his jaw tightly as he looked at him with pure anger and disgust. “You are unfortunate kid, aren’t you? I was going to be a father but you took her life too!” he shouted at him and tightened his hold more on the boy’s jaw. “I – I didn’t do any-.” The boy was cut off when the man shouted, “Shut up!” “Shut up! You ungrateful kid, I gave you a roof on your head and a meal once a day. You DO NOT talk back to me! Do you understand?!” The boy nodded his head as he sobbed silently because of the physical as well as mental pain he was suffering through. “Good. I did
“Well, I am Ava Thomas HR and this is Ms. Caroline Martinez, CEO of the company. So, Mr. Wright I just saw in your cv that you left your previous job. Why did you quit?” Ava asked him but his eyes were on me and looked embarrassed and nervous and maybe a little bit scared after knowing he spilled the coffee on the CEO of the company he is trying to join. Well, he ruined my shirt, he deserves to be nervous. His fingers tangled with each other and he gulped randomly, he is nervous. ‘This is going to be fun!’ I thought with an evil smile on my face. *** Samael’s POV I stopped the car as soon as I reached the school and looked to my right. “I know you don’t need it but all the best for your interview and I know you are going to get the job.” Ella, my little sister said. She is 10-years-old but has behaved like she is a lot older than that. Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and her green eyes matched her jumpsuit.
Samael’s POV I looked up from my phone when I heard the door opening. Ella entered the house and a smile appeared on her face when she saw me sitting in the living room. “How was your school?” I asked her as I kept my phone aside. “Same old, same old brother. We changed our place, not my school. It’s still the same.” She said as she took off her shoes and kept her bag on the floor before sitting beside me. “Wait why are you home early? Did you get the job or not?” she turned towards me and asked me excitedly. “Yes, I did. I start from tomorrow.” I answered with a smile and her smile brightened. “Oh my god, that’s amazing. Congratulations!” she said and hugged me. “How are the office and your boss? Is he good or rude?” she pulled away and asked me. “The office is amazing and huge and the boss, well it’s not he it’s she,” I said while she sat beside me comfortably looking at me. “Something happened?

Caroline’s POV “Good morning mam.” Lucy greeted me as soon as I entered the Martinez’s Company. “Morning Lucy,” I said with a small smile as I walked towards the elevator. I got out of the elevator as soon as I reached my floor while I took a sip of my coffee. I opened the door of my office and I saw someone standing in front of the glass wall. The person turned after he heard the door opening. “Mr. Wright,” I said as I walked towards my table. “Good morning, Ma’am.” He greeted with a smile. His glass reflects the sunlight coming from the glass wall. “You are on time, Mr. Wright. I am glad we dint bump again.” I said with a teasing smile, as I kept my bag and coffee on the table. He cleared his throat awkwardly which made my smile grow more. “I know I have already apologized but I am sorry for bumping into you yesterday.” He said sincerely while adjusting his glasses before continuing, “And I also wanted to ask
Caroline’s POV As soon as I was out of the meeting room I am face to face with James Maxwell, the accountant who works here. He was holding a stack of files in his hands. “Mam, there is a problem. You need to see this.” He said, concern written on his face. “Okay Mr. Maxwell, in my office,” I stated and started walking towards my office, James Maxwell followed behind me. After we settled down in my office, he started to open some of the files. “What has happened?” I asked him as a frown appeared on his face. “There are some transactions from companies account that are unknown.” He said as I looked at those files and papers presented by him. As soon as I heard him, I halted and looked at him. “What?” I asked him as I was not able to believe him. “From the past few months, there are some transactions from the company’s account that are unknown. We have no idea who is behind this.” He explained to me with a fearfu
Samael’s POV I sat and occasionally sent Ms. CEO some hateful stares while typing and sending a whole lot of emails which seems to be endless. She kept typing on her laptop and phone while I was trying to concentrate on my work but was not able to because my mind kept worrying about Ella. After a few hours, I got a call from Justin. Excusing myself I went outside the room and answered the call. “Hello” I greeted as I closed the door behind me once I was out. “Hey, bro. I made Ella dinner and played with her, but now it’s her time to sleep and she is not able to do so. She says that she wants you, man.” Justin said and took a sharp breath. “Thank you, Justin, can you give her the phone?” I said as I massaged my forehead with my fingers, while Justin passed the phone to Ella. She is big enough to sleep on her own but it’s been a habit for years for her. I use to make her sleep every night when dad and Mia use to have fought almo

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
