"Thank you so much, I received it earlier today and I'm damn grateful."

Lila said from the other end of the line.

"It's nothing."

"Are you kidding me? Another $10,000?! I'm certain it's got something to do with your boss, let him know I'm very grateful. The Doctor has assured me that Mom's surgery would be great and she'd be fine on or before next week."

"Really?" A grin appeared on my lips.

"Yes. And I can notice the improvement in her health, she's doing really great and it's all thanks to you and God. Our Mother would be fine soon."

"Wow, I'm super excited!" I squealed, feeling the greatest form of joy building up in my belly. I was beyond exhilarated. I really wanted to jump on the couch and scream my internals out to express this triumph.

"If it's got anything to do with your boss, please thank him a million times and give him a chance. I'll call you later. Bye."

Whether or not I had admitted it, I had been so scared of Mia dying. She was the only family I had left except Lila, a

    "Whoa, a visitor." Georgina said, referring to Lila and shut the door behind her."Oh, she's here." Lila rolled her eyes, crossing her legs on the couch."Of course I'd be here because I live here." She scoffed, walking up to us on the couch and dropped her bag to the floor carelessly."Oh, right. She does. I think I forgot that." She replied sarcastically. Georgina sat on the couch opposite to the one we sat on. "You definitely forgot that." She turned to me. "How's your boss now? Should I be expecting to be an Aunt to a Millionaire baby now?""Georgina, jeez." I picked a throw pillow and threw it at her.She burst into laughter. "What? I should expect that, you were literally living with him. By the way, when did you arrive? I was out with my sugar daddys." She winked."Wow, such a statement to announce proudly" I replied sarcastically. "I arrived yesterday.""Oh, so... your boss doesn't tell me you haven't agreed to give him a chance."Lila drew her eyes in askance."Yes, yes, I

    He still held my hand to lead me out of the barrier of chairs then led me out of the restaurant. I was welcomed by the coolness of the evening breeze greeting my skin with its wonderful harmony playing in my ears. The moon was shining its glory in my direction, enough to make me fall in love with it in an instant more than Alvin."Let's go." He continued holding me, and began walking on the pavement.We still maintained silence for the next few minutes, only swinging our linked hands."Sam," he called, breaking the silence and I glanced at him to catch his graceful smile. "I love you."That was so unexpected so it sounded awkward and made nervousness ignite in me."We've talked about my crazy father but it'd be nice to talk about you.""About me?""Yes.""Talk about me to me?""Kinda, but related to me.""Weird but go on.""There was a day I met you in a store then I secretly followed behind you."He chuckled. "You were with a woman I assumed was your friend, then you both bumped into

    "We'll burst the door open then yell 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'," Lila whispered."Silly, it's not Mia's Birthday." I whisper-yelled with a roll of my eyes."Oh, yeah. Sorry, again. I'm just too excited, so it's making me confused." I glanced at the small cake in her hands then back at her face. "Be sensible."She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Don't forget; Mom, not Mia.""Yeah, right.""Be sensible." She added.I turned the doorknob and pushed the door inwards, walking in first with Lila following behind me."Happy Recovery!" I said at the same time Lila said-"Happy Birthday!"Mia, who was seated on the bed, chuckled."Lila," I glared at her."'Sorry, sorry, whatever." She walked past me and to Mia on the bed, arching her back to kiss Mia's cheek. Mia giggled. "Thank you."I also advanced to her and kissed her cheek, which made her giggle again. "I'm glad the surgery is finally over.""I am too, thank you so much.""We brought cake," Lila extended the cake, grinning."Thank you too, but I can't

    "Next time, if you walk into a room and notice me frowning, it's either because I haven't seen you yet and I was missing you, or it's something else and you shouldn't hesitate to ask me about it. You can calm me down with a touch or make things even better, a kiss." He held the arms of my chair to cage me."You are late to work today, you'll have to pay for that." He smirked."P-pay?""Yes, in a gentle way. You made me wait for you for so long, don't I deserve a kiss? Why are you always late?""I already stopped arriving late, even before we traveled to Australia.""I don't believe that, you're late today, again, so you must pay for it." He pulled my chair closer to him and drew his lips to my ear."I love you." He whispered into it. The way his lips grazed my ear made goosebumps form on my skin, from my neck. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "I have to resume work.""You work for me, it shouldn't bother you if you're not working yet, as long as it's because of me. By

    ~ Alvin Robert ~"That's it? I'm done? Whoa, I didn't see that coming." I shut my laptop with a graceful smile. If I knew I'd be done with work at the office so early, I'd have gone with Samantha to Mr. Hawthorn.Remembering the closeness between Samantha and me earlier today; how my arms were around her, my hand on her chin, the way her beautiful lips moved when she said 'I love you too' (ignoring the fact that I made her say it), made my smile extend.I had never been this happy in my entire life. Being with Samantha was the greatest joy of my life and I couldn't wait to have her as mine completely. I assured myself that that was going to happen very soon. Since I was done with work so early, I could either go to Kade, Mom, or Amanda's, or a club, or anywhere fun."I better give Amanda a call before she feeds on me next time we meet, out of anger." I chuckled, picked up my phone from the table, and dialed her phone number.After the second ring, she answered the call. "Hey, sugar

    "There were candles around. It was a romantic theme. I think he wanted to propose to a woman. It started from the curtain, then to the pillow, couch, alcohol, wood, I don't know." She looked tense."It's okay.""How am I here?""I passed the company and ran to save you. The moment I saw you looking lifeless on the floor, I almost died." I moved closer to her and held her waist, raking my fingers through her blonde hair and holding her cheek. "I'm glad you're fine," I spoke softly and connected my lips with hers for a kiss. I was about to get the most out of kissing her but my phone began to ring from the nightstand which made her break the kiss. I groaned. This was probably the only chance I had to have the perfect kiss from her but the stupid phone had to ring. I rose to my feet and took my phone. It was a call from Mr. John Hawthorn. I glanced at Samantha Reese, who still looked confused, before answering the call."Hello, Mr. Hawthorn.""Please stop the formality." I could smell

    "Hey, Lila. Can you come over here?" I asked, crossing my legs while sipping from the juice box."I already left home and I'm heading to your house right now. I'll be there in a few seconds or a minute. Bye, I have to check something in this stupid car." She groaned."Thanks, babe." I ended the call, dropped the phone and juice box on the table, rested my head and legs on each arm of the chair, and resumed watching the television. I had lost interest in the movie long ago but I hadn't turned it off due to the situation at hand ringing in my head. Georgina chuckled. I glanced at the dining chair she had pulled to sit in a corner of the living room. She was grinning from ear to ear and her face was crimson."What's going on?" I lifted an eyebrow at her.She glanced at me, still grinning. "It's Dash.""Your loverboy? This isn't the first time you're smiling because of him. I'm certain he's not a one-night stand person." I smirked."Not, I'm interested in him." She returned her gaze to h

    "Fingerprint and face scanned, please come in." An electronic voice from a speaker said and the door automatically unlocked and opened. I was surprised about that but got inanyway, then the door automatically shut. Creepy.Where was Alvin? I walked to take a seat on a couch, waiting patiently for Alvin to stroll down the stairs."Hi, Miss." A woman who was a maid said. Her sudden presence and voice startled me."Hello. Where's Alvin?" I asked."He's in his office upstairs. He had mentioned earlier that I should direct you there when you arrive. May I?" She wore a polite smile."Oh, an office at home," I said, rising to my feet."Yes." She nodded."Okay, lead me there." I returned her smile.She started walking and I followed behind her till we stopped in front of a black wooden door."He's in. Goodbye." She said with a polite bow and left.I knocked on the door."I don't need the coffee anymore." He yelled from inside. Once again, I was startled.I knocked again. "It's me, Samantha

    ~ Samantha Reese ~~ {Flashback} ~"Please get the door, Samantha Reese." Lila requested, rolling her sleeves up. "I'm the pregnant one here, I shouldn't be overworking.""Getting the door isn't overworking. Stop being so lazy." I groaned and reluctantly rose to my feet, sauntering to the door and opening it.I was so surprised to see Faith standing by the door, grinning from ear to ear, holding a small bag. I opened my mouth to speak but she pulled me into a hug. "Gosh, I missed you. I'm so glad you're fine." I smiled, returning the hug.I gently pushed her by her shoulders."I didn't expect to see you here. Please come in."Shutting the door after she walked in, we took our seats on one of the sofas."Mr. Robert asked me to come here. As your maid, I should be at your service, no matter where you are.""Oh, that's great. I missed you too. Doing some things on my own feels like a lot of work now." I admitted and she chuckled."Then it's a great thing I'm here. Is there anything yo

    ~ Alvin ~Another frustrating day without Samantha Reese. I had been checking the internet on how to make your angry wife forgive you but it all seemed to be pointless. It was high time I gained the courage to call that stubborn woman I called my wife.I picked up my phone and searched for her name in the contact list. Just one click and the phone was going to be ringing but it felt like the biggest deal in my entire life, it felt like an issue of life and death. I had never been this scared in my life. I succumbed to it and called her. It kept ringing continuously but there was no response.I sighed and dropped the phone on the bed but flinched when I heard, "Hello?"I picked up the phone, staring at the screen like it was a dream."Hello?" Oh my gosh, that voice, I missed it so damn much. I immediately went into a trance after hearing it."It's probably a butt-dial, ignore it." I heard Lila say.I snapped out of my trance and exclaimed, "No! Wait!""Oh, it's real.""What do you wan

    ~ France ~"Georgina, it's so nice to see you again," I said as Georgina sauntered to take a seat beside me, dropping her clutch on the counter."Yeah, really nice. You probably remember me from Samantha Reese's wedding or something.""Uh..." I scratched the back of my head. That was not the only time we had met. Who could forget Georgina after so many plays we had had together in the past? "Of course not." I chuckled nervously.She smirked. "Great! I was wondering how anyone could ever forget this nasty Georgina after so many times together. So you're simply ignoring me?" She ordered herself a bottle of drink."Georgina Bend, it was long ago, okay? I wasn't ignoring you or anything, it was just supposed to be one-night stands."She laughed out boisterously."One-night stands that happened about a million times?" She rolled her eyes, chugging down a glass of alcohol in one drought."Okay, I agree with that. It has been so long, about 5 or 6 years ago. We were still in college, woman

    "Samantha?" I asked again, scanning her from head to toe. Maybe I might've heard the wrong name.They paused, gazing at me."Do you know her?" Dash asked."Of course not. Where on Earth am I supposed to know such a disgusting person?""I'm so surprised to know you decided to go after such a cheap thing. I mean, look at her." She scoffed at me, resting her elbow on Dash's shoulder."She was supposed to be for fun but she was proving so hard to get and I wanted to make her my girlfriend to use her and dump her, baby." He admitted, not bothering about the fact that I was standing right in front of them."Aw, my babe is so nasty." She smirked at him, patting his head proudly."I can't believe you're so terrible. I thank God I didn't fall into your crazy trap, motherfucker!" Oh my, where was this courage coming from?"Why is she being so dramatic?" She asked with her forehead crumpled and wearing a lopsided grin.I stormed out of the house and quickly got into a taxi. Samantha was probably

    ~ Samantha Reese ~"You still won't let me tell anyone you're here? This torture is killing me. Won't you at least tell Mom or Georgina?"Lila asked, finalizing her makeup."No, I'd let Mom and Georgina know today. Please don't let anyone know yet." I smiled at her. "By the way, you look very gorgeous.""Thank you." She grinned."You're going to work? Aren't you late now?""No, I'm on leave again. I'm going over to my boyfriend's.""Oh... I'd love to see this man you and Georgina is so crazy about.""Stupid Georgina. She keeps blaming me when I've got nothing to do with her sleeping around with men." She rolled her eyes, rising from the vanity chair.I chuckled. "That's Georgina for you. I'll talk to her later today.""Please do. Talk some sense into her head.""I'll try to." I chuckled again. "I'm going to take a stroll for relaxation.""You need it. Call me if there's any emergency, don't work too much, don't destroy the house, don't get too emotional, don't do anything stupid, eat.

    ~ Alvin ~"You're just returning?""Yes, sir." The stupid driver who had driven Samantha Reese had finally arrived but not with her."And where is Samantha Reese ?""She made me drive for a long time and then asked me to stop the car in the middle of nowhere, no matter how many times I refused. She said no one should look for her there because she was going to go further away.""And why are you just returning?""She said I shouldn't return home until today. I tried to follow her but lost track of her. I promise it isn't my fault. I also have no idea where she is.""Please send me the address of where you dropped her off, I'll send it to the police.""Okay, sir, I'll try my best to recall the place." He nodded then left my sight. I returned to the building and dropped me on a sofa."Won't you at least have something to eat?" Mom asked, her tone was soaked in worry.I simply shook my head, resting my head on the arm of the couch and the back of my palm on my forehead."You have to eat,

    "Baby daddy?" It didn't take a second before my breath quickened."Samantha? So this is the crazy redhead that's obsessed with you.""Obsessed with him? I find that harsh but not offensive, it's okay." She nodded."Tell me what you mean by baby daddy?" I frowned, beginning to sweat from what she just said."How dare you come here?" He asked in a very intimidating voice, clenching his jaw."Why not? I don't think a couple of millions of dollars would be able to replace the place of a father in the lives of our children." Though she was speaking to Alvin, she was smirking at me.My legs immediately became wobbly, and I lost my balance but before I could fall, I held her shoulders. "Wh-what.. what do you mean?" My voice cracked at every word, and my hands which had a tight grip on her shoulders began to vibrate."Samantha Reese, let's go," Alvin said, fear could be read in his voice by anyone, even a baby."Don't." I pointed my index finger at him, my eyes burning with so much rage towa

    "Uh... I don't know." I chuckled nervously."Why do you sound so nervous?" She narrowed her eyes at me."Mom, it's okay. We can't be certain she's pregnant. And if she is, I'm sure it's my child, right Samantha?" He asked and I nodded."You should do a pregnancy test to confirm if she's pregnant because if she's not then it's probably a serious illness. I'll take my leave.""Wait!" I rose to my feet. "What do you mean by you'll be a grandmother again?" I only heard that. "As far as I know, Alvin is your only child.""Oh, he hasn't told you?" She glanced at him."No, he hasn't told me anything." I held her arms. "What is he supposed to tell me that he hasn't? What's going on?" They shared a glance at each other again then burst into laughter. "Calm down. Alvin isn't my only child. He has a sister.""A dog, Mom.""Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "And she has had a lot of puppies." She clarified and I sighed in relief."I can't believe my baby is having a baby." Alvin wrapped his arms a

    ~ TWO MONTHS LATER ~Once again, another night, no Alvin. I was more than confused. Why hasn't he returned home after three fucking months? I returned to my room took off my jacket, grabbed a towel, and left for the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub. I felt so sick. Alvin not being around had made me very dizzy with terrible headaches.After a long bath, I wrapped a towel around my body and opened the door. I was shocked to see Alvin standing in front of the door, also holding the door knob."Nah, this is probably a dream." I scoffed, rubbing my eyes but he still stood in front of me."You don't believe I'm here?" He raised an eyebrow.Hearing his voice filled my soul with happiness. I wanted to jump and hug him but the happiness was erased quickly and transformed into anger. I walked past him."Please don't give me this attitude." He held my hand but it made me angrier."Let me be." I sauntered to the wardrobe while he walked behind me."Don't be mad at me. I thought you'd be very h
