Samuel asked the detective to search for information about all the fashion designers and agents whom Cecilia used to work with. He planned his revenge since Cecilia was the one who caused so many heartaches for him and Amy. Samuel promised he would destroy Cecilia’s career and life as she had already done the same to his life. He wanted to ask the detective to search for Amy, but the problem was the world was so vast. Besides, if Amy didn’t want to be found, she would hide herself well. Since she already deactivated her old number, Samuel lost the only way to reach for her. But then, he suddenly remembered his grandmother. Considering how close Vivian and Amy were, he wondered if his grandmother knew where Amy was right now, or even her new phone number. So, he went to Vivian’s house without telling her. Tony, the butler, widened his eyes when he saw Samuel, but then he bowed his head and smiled. “Master Samuel, what a surprise! Madam didn’t tell me you would visit her today.”Samue
Samuel contacted the detective to see if there was any list of designers and agents he could contact. The detective asked for a few hours, as he wanted to send a complete list. After waiting for a while, the detective finally sent two lists that Samuel asked. When Samuel was about to check the lists, the detective called him. “Sir, I have a piece of interesting information you might want to know about Cecilia Smith.” “Go on.” “Apparently, Cecilia has some special relationships with models and actors at the same time. From the information I got, currently she has three friends with benefits, but the one she contacted frequently is Pierre Collin, a famous actor and model.” Samuel tapped his fingers on the table. “Interesting. Do you have any information about Pierre Collin?” “He will launch a new movie. So any scandal and bad publicity will negatively affect the movie.” The detective grinned because he knew Samuel would do anything to get revenge. “I’ll search for more information
After Madeline promised Samuel she would send him a ticket to the Paris fashion week and introduce him to fashion designers and agents, Samuel went home. Arriving home, Samuel sent the lists he received from the detective to Madeline with a request to be introduced to those in the list and also to other prominent people in the fashion industry. Then, a day before the fashion week, Samuel flew to Paris with his private jet. Madeline came with him. Samuel even ordered Madeline to stay in his hotel. Samuel and Madeline rested in the penthouse of two bedrooms. Later, they enjoyed a comfortable dinner as friends. Both Samuel and Madeline knew they wouldn’t be lovers, but Madeline was kind enough to offer her help, even to pretend as his special person. Because without the reason, it would be weird for Samuel to attend the fashion week. On the fashion week night, Samuel and Madeline went to the runway. Reporters took some pictures of Samuel with Madeline. Samuel also saw Cecilia as th
Cecilia went home, and she slammed the door hard in her apartment. Dropping her bag and some accessories from the agency office, she threw herself on the bed. She didn’t know what gossip the agency had heard, but for sure, she wasn’t afraid. There was actually a year left before her contract ended. However, a more famous agency than her former one had already approached her and wanted her to move to their agency. So, she rushed to search for the business card the famous agency’s representative gave her. When the people from the agency offered her, Cecilia only said that she would think about it, but didn’t give a definite answer whether she would receive it. This was a good time to contact the person. After finding the card, Cecilia called. The one she called received her call after two rings. “International Fashion Agency. Can I help you?” “Hello, it’s Cecilia Smith. You gave me your card with an offer to move to your agency. After thinking about it, I’d like to accept the offe
Cecilia arrived at Pierre Collin’s apartment. Since he must go in two hours, she knew she must hurry. After she came, he kissed her lips and asked her to sit on his lap. “It’s rare you call me in the afternoon. What’s going on?” he said. “Pierre, you told me you wanted to marry me. I’m ready now.” Pierre frowned as it was unlike Cecilia. He liked pursuing her because he knew she didn’t want to have a serious relationship with him. It was odd to see she changed her mind so suddenly. “Is something bad happening to you?” He lifted his eyebrow. “It’s a bad day, and I realize I didn’t appreciate you as much as you deserve.” She smiled and caressed his chest. “So, if you still want me, I’m ready to marry you.” Pierre smiled and kissed Cecilia’s lips. “I always want you.” He carried her to his bed. “I still have an hour before I must go to a photoshoot. Let’s not waste the time.” Cecilia did everything Pierre wanted. They ended up having sex for more than an hour. Laying on the bed,
From the fashion designers he invested in, Samuel got information that they didn’t work with Cecilia again. The detective also reported that Cecilia’s agency had already ended their contract with her. However, Samuel wasn’t satisfied yet because Cecilia only lost her job. He wanted her to experience the heartache like he did. So he sent anonymous information to some reporters. Samuel revealed the confession from Cecilia’s accomplice, the picture the artist drew in the interrogation room, and the cemetery where his unborn baby was buried but he censored her daughter’s name. Samuel asked all reporters to publish the information. He even asked the reporters to check information in the police station of his country in the capital to confirm his information was true. After two days, the reporters published the news, and soon, they chased Cecilia to get a comment or confession from her. She ran away to the airport and booked a flight back to her country since Paris was no longer open to h
Four years later, Samuel wondered if it was time for him to start over again. Though he still loved Amy, the detective couldn’t trace her location. Since he couldn’t find her, Samuel didn’t know how much longer he could wait for her. His grandmother was getting older, and Samuel needed an heir. Sometimes, he asked Madeline to have dinner and enjoyed his time with her. Currently, another billionaire also approached Madeline. However, Samuel didn’t want to rush because Madeline and he were good friends. He still considered it if he should pursue her as his future wife or stay as friends with her. The next day, after having lunch at a business meeting, Samuel’s car got a flat tire. So, Miguel, his driver, parked the car on the side of the street. While Miguel fixed the tire with a car jack, Samuel went outside to have a walk. A little boy ran along the pavement outside of a kindergarten and almost bumped into Samuel. Then Samuel steadied the boy’s little arm to help the boy not fall.
Miguel widened his eyes when he saw Samuel carry Shane. He opened the door for him, and Samuel told him Shane’s address. Meanwhile, Shane yawned and rubbed his eyes. “Are you sleepy?” Samuel asked. “Yes, Daddy. Can I sleep?” It warmed Samuel’s heart to hear Shane call him daddy. “Sure, Son. Just sleep.” Shane let out a happy sigh, closed his eyes, and slept. Samuel kissed Shane’s head and rubbed the little boy’s back. Miguel, who saw everything, scratched his head. “Uh, Boss? Are you the boy’s father?” “You too?” Samuel laughed a little. “It’s been three mothers and a teacher who assumed that. Why did you think so?” “Well …. If you see the boy’s face and yours in the mirror, you will see it yourselves. Oh, I have your pictures with him. I’ll send them to your phone.” Miguel shrugged. “Maybe you can ask Madam Vivian too. She will agree with me.” Samuel said nothing, but he stared at Shane’s face. His sleeping face was so cute until Samuel couldn’t stop himself from kissing th
Amy and Samuel spent most of their honeymoon enjoying Paris on the days and afternoons. They visited the Eiffel Tower again, but this time Samuel wore a medical mask to cover his identity since in the first honeymoon the reporters spotted him and ruined their honeymoon. Afterward, they visited the Louvre Museum. Enjoying so many great pieces of arts from paintings and statues, they also went to the Tuileries Garden and to the city cruise through the Seine River. They shopped for clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry for Amy, but also for Vivian, Jillian, and Caroline. Amy insisted Samuel buy some clothes and shoes too. She also bought an elegant watch for his husband. After ensuring Samuel wouldn’t be jealous, Amy bought Reese a watch and some coffee beans. They enjoyed lunch and dinner in the best restaurants in Paris. But when they didn’t want to go to the restaurants, they bought meals to eat in some gardens or in some parts of the city. After spending days and afternoons venturi
The stewardesses smiled at Samuel and Amy. “Congratulations on your wedding!” “Thank you,” Samuel and Amy said. A stewardess carried a tray and offered Samuel and Amy champagne. Then she left the couple. They toasted and sipped the champagne. Samuel stared at his wife and grinned. “What?” Amy asked. She touched her face, wondering if there was a stain on her face. “Nothing. I only imagine what we will do there.” He bent forward and captured her lips with a lingering kiss. “I can’t wait to make love with you again, my sweet.” Blushing, she caressed his shoulder and whispered, “Me neither. I miss you a lot.” “Don’t worry. We can spend days and nights enjoying ourselves. How about a week of honeymoon?” Amy shook her head. “I can’t! I must go to work.” “No worries. I have already asked permission from the personnel manager for you.” “Really?” Amy raised her eyebrow. “But then, Shane and Jillian?” “They have my grandma, Tonny, and the nurses too.” He looked her in the eye and s
“I wonder if we can have a date tomorrow. You can bring Shane too. We can go to the town and relax there.” Amy gulped because she must reject Reese’s invitation, but she was also nervous to tell him about her plan. “I’m sorry, but I can’t ….” “Oh, you’re busy? It’s okay. We can go next week.” “Reese …. I … I’ve been thinking about Samuel. I …” Amy couldn’t continue her words. “Amy, I know you love him. It’s okay if you want to return to him.” She held her breath. “You know? I’m so sorry ….” Reese said nothing for a while until Amy called him. “Reese? Are you still there?” “Yes. I know you will return to him, but I was thinking I might have a chance with you. But I’m happy for you. Samuel truly loves you. I’m sure Shane will be happy if you two are back together.” Biting her lower lip, Amy let out a heavy sigh. “Thank you for everything, Reese. You are a good friend.” “I’m glad I can spend time with you. I hope we can still be friends.” “Of course!” “Please send my congratul
Samuel and Amy finally returned to the car. Miguel grinned at them, as he saw how they walked hand in hand as if they were a new-married couple. “Where to go, boss?” “To the airport.” Samuel said, still holding Amy’s hand. Amy raised her eyebrow. “Airport? Are we going abroad?” “Yes.” Then he called Vivian with a video call. “Grandma? Did Shane look for Amy or me?” “No, he is eating his lunch. Do you want to talk to him?” “Sure!” Then Vivian called Shane. “Your father wanted to talk to you, sweetheart.” “Yes, Granny!” The little boy ran and stood before the phone. “Hi, Daddy.” “Shane, if Daddy and Mommy go for three days, is it okay? You will stay with Granny.” Shane glanced at Vivian. “Granny, can I stay here? Three days?” “Sure, sweetheart. You can stay a whole year if you want. I will be happy if you are here.” “Granny said yes. Okay, Daddy, you can go for three days.” Then he giggled to hear what Vivian said.. “What?” Samuel raised his eyebrow. “Granny said Daddy wa
Doctor Benjamin checked Jillian’s condition. After checking her pupils, tongue, and heartbeat, he smiled. “All vital status is good.” Amy sobbed and held hands with Samuel. He hugged her shoulders and waited for the doctor to finish to examine Jillian. The doctor checked Jillian’s feet and arms too. “Everything’s good. Welcome back, Miss Jillian.” The doctor smiled at Jillian. “Is Jillian alright, Doctor?” Amy held her breath. “Yes, Ms. Brooke. Miss Jillian will need to have physical therapy, for sure, to have a complete recovery. But other than that, she is healthy.” “Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!” Amy shook the doctor’s hand while weeping. “Amy? Is that you?” “Yes, it’s me, little sister.” Amy held Jillian’s hand and kissed it. “I’m so happy to see you wake up.” Jillian sighed. “I’m thirsty.” Then she added, “and hungry too.” Amy glanced at Doctor Benjamin. “Can she drink water and eat anything she wants?” “Water is okay. For the food, please choose easy to dige
The next day, Samuel picked up Amy and Shane. They sent Shane to Vivian’s house before going to a date. Shane jumped around in the living room and hugged Vivian when she showed up. “I just saw you yesterday, but I wonder if you are getting taller.” Vivian rubbed Shane’s head. Shane reached out his hands, and Vivian bent her body. He kissed Vivian’s cheeks and whispered, “I’m a big boy, Granny! Yes, I’m taller every day.” Vivian laughed when she heard the little boy’s comment. The proud parents stared at each other and shared smiles. “Why are you still here?” Vivian frowned. “Go! Have fun! No worries with your son. I’ll look after him. Besides, he’s a big boy already. Right, Shane?” “Yes!” Shane shouted. He ran to Samuel and Amy, kissing their cheeks. “Bye, Daddy. Bye, Mommy!” Tony approached them too and bowed his head to Samuel and Amy. “I’ll ask the maids to look after the young master too.” Samuel grinned and patted Amy’s hand. “Let’s go, then. It seems everyone wants us to
“I have never meant to torture you. It’s ridiculous to think that.” Amy scooted to move farther from Samuel. However, Samuel moved too and pulled her body, placing her to sit on his lap. He cupped her face with both hands and looked into her eyes. “Then let’s remarry in three days.” “Samuel ….” He kissed her lips until she let out a sigh. “I won’t take a no.” “But—” Samuel kissed Amy’s lips again. This time, he used his tongue and sparked her passion while probing his tongue into her mouth, teasing her until she moaned and touched his chest. Then he caressed her bosom until her head tilted backward. When he bent his head to kiss her cleavage, Amy shook her head. Realizing Samuel didn’t see it, Amy cleared her throat and said, “It’s time for us to return to Grandma’s house. Shane may seek for me.” Reluctantly, Samuel lifted his head and placed Amy to sit next to him. He took a deep breath to calm his passion, and then he smiled. “You have changed.” “Well, it’s been five year
They didn’t talk, but only stared at each other, and Samuel kissed her lips again. Amy hugged his waist and clung as if her life depended on it. Since they must stop for taking a breath, Samuel touched his forehead to hers. “Thank you for loving me so much until you took a difficult way.” Amy sobbed and nodded, but she couldn’t utter any words. He kissed her lips again, and she kissed him back. Then, after a while, Samuel brought her to the bed and lay next to her. They stared at each other. “I asked the detective to investigate the last threat message. Somehow, I found it related to Cecilia.” “Cecilia?” Amy widened her eyes. “Cecilia Smith, your ex-girlfriend?” “Nope, she has never been my girlfriend. We only dated a few times.” Shaking her head, Amy touched Samuel’s face. “She sent me the pictures of both of you in your hotel. I thought you had an affair with her.” “What?! I have never brought her to my hotel.” Amy smiled and nodded. “Yes, your grandma told me that.” “Gran
The manager at the Cold and Sweet bowed to see Samuel enter the place. His eyes widened to see Shane who held his arms around Samuel’s neck and Amy who walked beside Samuel. Since the manager read the news, he knew Samuel had a divorce five years ago. But then he asked a server to come to the table and serve the billionaire. After asking their choice of ice creams, the server took a few minutes before returning with three bowls of ice cream. Samuel spoon-fed the ice cream to Shane. Then Shane suddenly did the same to his father. Amy who saw it could only smile with tears in her eyes. Some of the ice cream restaurant’s guesses saw Samuel sitting with a little boy and a woman. Only with a glance, they could see that the little boy was his son. Shane also spoon-fed Amy with his ice cream. Suddenly, the little one said, “Daddy, give ice cream to Mommy!” Samuel raised his eyebrow. “Oh, you want Mommy to try my ice cream?” Shane nodded and grinned. “Yes!” Then he smiled at Amy too. “Y
