Alvin was in the bathroom while I was done dressing. I wondered how long he was going to spend. I wore my heart-shaped earrings then a feather boa over my shoulders, whether or not it matched my not-so-revealing dress. I admired my hot self in the mirror for a while before deciding to take a couple of photos I was going to post on my social media accounts. People were asking about me and Alvin but he didn't want to let the media know yet for some reason. I decided to take more photos without the feather boa but I was interrupted by a call from Tyler. I answered the call and placed the phone on my ear. "Hey, Tyler.""Hi, babe." Babe? He ought not to refer to a married woman like that. "I hope you aren't so busy.""I'm kind of busy.""Oh, that's sad. I'm at a club right now and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining me. Instead of our next date, we can make it tonight, right now. Should I pick you up or-"No, Tyler.""Oh. Why?""It isn't necessary to tell you why but I'd le
"Samantha," someone continuously tapped me but I was too involved in my sleep to wake up yet so I snuggled closer to my hard pillow, wrapping my arms around it."Jeez..." he groaned. Wait, that was Alvin and his groan vibrated in my ear, but I still wasn't ready to wake upcompletely. I was gently pushed from the pillow but surprisingly didn't fall. My eyes snapped open and were welcomed by the sight of Alvin (he was the hard pillow), my arms were still around him and we were surrounded by a few other people which included Faith, my maid. I realized we were still on the plane."The plane has landed," Alvin said, looking tired."Oh," I quickly untangled myself from him and jerked to my feet, brushing a few strands of my hair away from my face.Alvin rose to his feet and laughed at me."What's so funny?" I wondered."Come here," I glanced around before moving closer to him. He touched my hair and probably fixed it. "It's better now." He pecked me.I stepped back and forced a smile at
"Hi, Mom," I said into the phone, standing quite far away from Alvin who was on the bed, to avoid disturbance since he was also on the phone with his Mom."Hey, sweetie. How are you? How has your day been?" She beamed."Great.""Lila and Georgina are here with me, and the phone is on loudspeaker so they have questions to ask.""Lila and Georgina? Together without me?" I cringed and I heard them laugh from the other end of the line."It's not such a bad thing. We're not enemies." Lila said."Oh, we are." Georgina interrupted."Silly. Let's ignore that and focus on the main point: how's your honeymoon going? It should be nighttime in Paris, right?""Yeah. Today was great.""How?" Georgina asked in a rush.I glanced at Alvin, at the same time he glanced at me and then chuckled."Hang on," I left for the bathroom then shut the door. "Well... today was great. He planned a really cute romantic surprise for me. There were flowers, and photos of me everywhere, and a capella group sang an amaz
Squinting my eyes at her, I opened the door wider and let her walk in. She walked towards Alvin, swaying her hips. If it made any sense, she was swaying her hips excessively and I didn't like that. I shut the door then sauntered to stand in front of Alvin, folding my arms across my chest. After casting a glare at the woman who was now beside me."May I know what sort of business you have with her?" I asked."I don't think it's any of your business, Samantha." He replied crankily.My face contorted pretty bad. "It's my business because I'm your wife, and secondly your secretary.""Oh no, it's not that kind of business. It's a personal business." He smiled at the woman (a smile I hadn't received today)."Who are you and what business do you have with my husband?" I asked her instead."I'm Lucie Babin. I'm—""Lucie, you don't have to give her an answer. Please come." He extended his hand to her.She returned his smile, stretching her hand to lace her fingers with his. Effortlessly, he pu
I yawned loudly, still feeling sleepy, rolling over the bed to reach for my phone.1:30PM?!I realized I was still in Faith's room so I screamed, "Faith!"She ran out of the bathroom, drying her hand on her skirt. "Is there any problem?""Why didn't you wake me up?!""I'm so sorry for not waking you up. We both watched a lot of movies till it was past midnight and I thought you needed to sleep more."I frowned at her for a while then sighed after noticing the worry on her face. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's not your fault. I'll have a bath. Please bring my clothes from my hotel room, I don't want to return there looking like a stinky mess." I yawned."Okay. You can use any of the unused towels in the bathroom." She smiled tiredly."No problem." I rolled out of bed and left for the bathroom.After my morning rituals in the bathroom, I took a towel from a rack of towels with the label 'New', wrapped it around my body and returned to the bedroom. Faith was sitting on the bed with m
Samantha ~My phone began to ring, disturbing my eardrums."Hey," I answered the call from Georgina."Hey, babe. I just called to say 'hi'." Her voice sounded cheerful."Hi to you too.""What are you doing now?""Absolutely nothing. I'm so bored right now.""Why? Where's Alvin?""He's helping France out with his work here in Paris but he promised to be back," I checked the time on the wall clock, "in about five minutes." I pouted."Aw, wifey missed her sweet husband." She teased."Shut up." It wasn't a lie though, I actually missed Alvin' presence and touch. I was feeling out of breath and damn bored from the fact that he wasn't here and constantly reminding me of how much he loves me."Such a lucky thing. I'll also have a man as sweet as Alvin too.""I thought you already had one. This dude that makes you blush... uh..." I tapped my knee repeatedly, trying to remember the name of the dude."Dash?" I heard her chuckle."Yeah, Dash Ronan.""He's fine. We clearly both have great feelin
I quickly let go of his hands, glancing everywhere else except him. My heart began to throb fast. This time, it wasn't due to Alvin kissing me or touching me but because I felt my ears were playing tricks on me."Uh... Er." how could I be so stupid to accept such a promise that easily?I should've known I couldn't trust Alvin with something like this. Making a promise to him? I finally gained the courage to lock my eyes with his, catching his gaze off amusement."Are you sweating over this? The Air conditioner is on," he touched my forehead with two of his fingers, shaking his head."Alvin, this- I can't-your request.." I didn't know what to say. Why was he always giving me a reason to be scared of being close to him? He chuckled, curled an arm around my waist, pulled me closer to him, and planted a kiss on my forehead."You seem to lack understanding of what at least means," he chuckled."There's no need to stress yourself over it. It's just been a big happiness for me. I love child
~ Samantha ~"Oh, yeah. That's so good, baby yeah... uh..." I moaned, enjoying the pleasure Alvin was giving me....He stopped all of a sudden, tilting his head. "Dear wife, it's just a massage. You're making dirty sounds over a simple massage. Anyone who hears you from outside might think something else is happening.""Shut up, ignore the sound, and resume massaging me with those magical hands of yours, dear husband." I turned around, lifting my shirt a bit."Give my tummy a nice massage, then return to my back.""Wow, the mighty CEO of HamIX International is giving someone a massage for free, when there are masseuses or physiotherapists I can call to come to give you a massage.""I don't need a masseuse and not a physiotherapist. I need you.""You need me?" He smirked."Yes, your hands are magical, I love them.""So we're starting with body parts? You'll love my hands, then arms, then other parts of my body till you love me as a whole." He said and started massaging my tummy."Mayb
~ 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
