Samantha sighed again. She couldn't shake off the worry in her heart, it seemed to be getting harder for her to reject Kristoffer's courtship as the days passed, but the reason for her frown now was the words that Viviana had said that she couldn't get out of her mind.

"Psh! You still seem happy about your engagement party preparations, huh?" she said with a pout. Then the door to her office opened and there she saw Tristan holding some papers.

"If you need something done, just leave it here on the top of the table," she said. After seeing Tristan enter and close the door, she lowered her gaze and never lifted her head again.

"Is there a problem?" She felt Tristan walking towards her. From her sitting position, she stood up and pretended to be busy searching for some folders in their container.

"Sam?" He reached for her hand, and she turned her head to see his worried eyes.

Samantha avoided his gaze, as if she was being sucked in by his eyes. Since this morning, she had been ignoring

    From the middle, Viviana and Tristan sat, with Samantha's step-father and mother on either side of them. The guests, too, were happy to observe, but some of them couldn't help but whisper and speculate whether the marriage of the two will really push through, especially considering the undeniable history of conflict between the two families in the business realm."Good evening, everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic time tonight. We are gathered here to celebrate the love and commitment of two extraordinary individuals, Mr. Tristan Hilton and Ms. Viviana Branson!" The host begins.

    Tristan walked towards the host, his father's brow furrowed, while his step-mother was oblivious to what was about to happen."Mr. Hilton?" the host asked in confusion as Tristan took the microphone in his hand."There will be no wedding." Whispers quickly spread around, reporters started to scramble, prompting Tristan's father to stand up from his seat and approach him."What the fuck are you talking about, Tristan? Take back what you said," his father sternly whispered, but Tristan remained unfazed."Everyone knows that this is happening because of the agreement between the Hilton and Branson families, but I never agreed to it, only my father did.""Oh my gosh!""He really doesn't love Ms. Branson?""Poor thing, she really wanted to become a Hilton," whispers around. Viviana stood up from her seat."Tristan, please... W-What are you doing? Go back to your seat. Aren't you embarrassed?" Viviana whispered, and then grabbed Tristan's arm, but he firmly removed it.Samantha glanced as K

    "Viviana, please don't involve my child." After stepping down from the stage, Samantha's mother approached her."Ms. Samantha, what does Ms. Branson mean? Do you know if there's any truth to your step-brother impregnating Ms. Viviana?" asked a reporter, followed by others."Everyone, please don't escalate the situation. My child has nothing to do with this. Tristan, please, sort this mess out. Samantha..." Samantha looked at Tristan again, her mind seemingly blank, all she knew was that she wanted to cry."Let's leave here for now, dear," her mother suggested, taking her by the arm."Sam..." Tristan was about to follow when he was stopped."You heard what Samantha's mother said, Tristan. Fix the mess you've made," Kristoffer firmly stated, then followed Samantha.Tristan's father walked over to the host and whispered something."Everyone. I kindly ask that you return to your seats. We can also start lining up for the buffet." The host tried to calm the guests, especially the media, bu

    Tristan nearly fell from the force of his father's punch, it was as if he lost his hearing momentarily, even the noises from their vast garden he couldn't hear."What madness has entered your mind to make you do all of this?!" his father yelled at him. His eyes were red with extreme anger. Tristan straightened up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth."Don't you think, Tristan? What you've done could cause everything to be lost when you open your eyes tomorrow because of your foolishness!" His father's fist landed on his cheek again, but he remained silent, trying to calm himself. He didn't seem to understand what his father was saying because his mind was occupied by Samantha."The media will surely feast on this. And do you think Kristoffer won't retaliate for the humiliation you've caused Viviana? You ruined our plans, Tristan. You didn't just embarrass me, but our entire family! You're fucking stupid!" His father choked him, Tristan gritted his teeth."You will marry Vi

    "Bullshits!" From his hand, Kristoffer flung the glass filled with wine, while Viviana just sat on the sofa in their living room, watching her brother who was still seething with anger."That damn Tristan! He has the audacity to deny to everyone that he's marrying you. He's brought us great shame.""Calm down, Kris..." She looked at him with a furrowed brow because of what he said. She was still wondering as she scanned his whole body, which was just sitting there."Seriously, Viviana?""Hold on... Why does it seem like you've already forgotten everything that happened?" Kristoffer's eyes narrowed as he looked at her."Don't tell me you're already confident that old Hilton can convince Tristan to marry you?""Just a while ago, you were practically begging Tristan, because you were scared he wouldn't take responsibility and marry you after getting you pregnant!" Viviana laughed softly. From her seat, she stood up to get two more glasses and a new bottle of wine from the kitchen."Vivia

    "Sorry, Tristan. But maybe it would be better if you try calling Sam again and let her tell you where she is.""Evelyn, you don't understand. I really need to talk to her." Evelyn couldn't contain her concern for her friend and the frustration she felt towards Tristan."Tristan, I'm not trying to meddle. I am well aware of your relationship with Samantha. My friend had a peaceful life before you came into it. She wasn't involved in any issues, but look at what happened earlier. She was practically blinded by the cameras pointed at her.""And what's worse about that? She just found out that the man she loves got someone pregnant!""I-I didn't want that, Evelyn. I love your friend so much, and I never wanted to hurt her.""But it still happened, Tristan! I'm a woman, and I know how painful that is. You know, from the start, I was against your relationship.

Until now, I'm the one being bothered by the media.""Benjamin...""Why can't you just let Tristan be? Our child is already grown, I'm sure he knows what he's doing with his life. He has his own mind to make decisions he wants." Benjamin paused, as Samantha's mother approached him, trying to calm him down."Nathalie, is that what he thinks he's doing with his life? He's on the wrong path. He doesn't understand me! Everything could be lost for him if he continues to be stubborn.""He's such a shameless! After causing all that trouble, he still hasn't come home.
