Chapter Two

Samantha's heart fluttered as she recalled the moment Ethan had proposed, the memory as vivid as a movie scene. The evening had been perfect—the sunset casting a golden hue over the city skyline, the scent of blooming jasmine filling the air, and Ethan's voice, steady and sincere, as he asked her to be his forever. She blushed, her hand instinctively touching her stomach. She was nervous about the news she had to share, but the joy overshadowed her fears.With a sigh, Samantha reluctantly left the warmth of her memories and tossed her duvet aside. She slid out of bed, her feet sinking into the plush carpet, and began her morning routine. The spacious bedroom, with its elegant décor and floor-to-ceiling windows, was bathed in soft morning light.Kingston Enterprises, a renowned company owned by Ethan’s parents, was a towering structure in the heart of the city. Its sleek glass exterior reflected the bustling streets below, where luxury cars and pedestrians in designer suits moved like

Chris, the head of human resources, was lounging behind his imposing desk, his laughter echoing through the room as he chatted on the phone. She gently closed the door behind her, the soft click reverberating in the spacious office, and approached him with measured steps, clutching her phone and documents tightly.Soft light filtered through the large windows, casting long shadows across the room. The air was heavy with the aroma of fresh coffee and the faint scent of cigar smoke. The walls were adorned with framed certificates and photographs, showcasing years of corporate achievements. Chris’s voice was a low hum, punctuated by occasional bursts of laughter, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly atmosphere.After what felt like an eternity, Chris finally ended the call, his laughter hanging in the air like a ghostly echo.

Chapter Four

With quivering lips and tears streaming down her cheeks, Samantha rushed to her office, the fluorescent lights above casting a harsh glare on her distraught face. She hurriedly packed her bags, her fingers trembling as she clutched the sealed envelope that was meant to bring joy but now felt like a cruel joke. She had hoped to make him the happiest man on earth, but the reverse was painfully true.Her footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, a stark contrast to the usually bustling office. The cold, sterile air felt suffocating as she made her way to the parking lot, the scent of cleaning supplies mingling with her own salty tears.Reaching her car, Samantha tossed her handbag onto the back seat with a shaky hand, the soft thud barely registering in her chaotic mind. She turned on the engine, the roar of the car a brief distraction from the turmoil inside her. Placing her hand on her belly, feeling the slight bump beneath her trembling fingers, she broke down, her sobs echoing in the c

Samantha's hands trembled as she clutched her phone, tears streaming down her face. "Please, Rose, you have to help me. Ethan threw me out. I have nowhere to go."Rose's voice crackled over the phone, a mix of concern and helplessness. "Please calm down, my dear," she said softly, her words a fragile comfort against Samantha's rising panic."I don’t know what I’m going to do. My whole life has been ripped away in a single day. Where do I even start?" Samantha's mind swirled with despair."Don’t cry, Samantha. You’re stronger than you think, I promise you.""Ca… Can you please talk to Ethan for me? At least let him hear me out!" Samantha pleaded.There was a few seconds of silence between them."I’m sorry, Samantha, but I don’t think I would be of help.""Please don’t turn your back against me, Rose. You’re literally my last hope." Samantha's voice cracked as she spoke.She heard Rose sigh. "You’ve not done anything to offend me, my child, and I don’t think you did anything to offend E

Five Years LaterSamantha’s lips curved into a sweet smile as she stepped into her baby’s room. The gentle sunlight streaming through the window bathed the room in a warm, golden glow, casting soft shadows on the pastel-colored walls adorned with whimsical animal decals. Her smile grew even bigger when she saw that her little angel was still sleeping soundly, her small chest rising and falling rhythmically under the soft, pink quilt patterned with tiny stars and moons.She gently shut the door behind her, the click barely audible, and made her way over to the bed, where her bundle of joy lay nestled among plush toys. The air was filled with the faint scent of lavender, a soothing aroma that always calmed her nerves.She sat on the edge of the bed, the mattress dipping slightly under her weight, and gazed at her daughter's peaceful face. The soft morning light highlighted her delicate features, making her look even more angelic.“My love,” she whispered, her voice a gentle murmur.“Pri

In a couple of seconds, the elevator stopped at their floor, and the duo walked out.“I hope you have a lovely day, and yeah, I’ll see you later.” Kelvin’s smile was warm, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he parted ways, heading towards his office. His confident stride echoed through the corridor, his tailored suit catching the light.“I saw that! Now spill! Don’t leave any detail.” Samantha heard the familiar, high-pitched voice of Katherine beside her, her tone dripping with curiosity.“Not now, Katherine. I’ve been through a lot today already.” Samantha resumed her steps, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor as she headed toward her office. Katherine, holding her tablet, hustled to keep up.“You know I’m not going to believe that, right?” Katherine’s persistence was as sharp as ever.“I have nothing to say. Maybe you can meet him for the information instead.”Katherine shook her head, her bobbed hair swaying. “I wanna hear it from you. The story is always sweeter fro

Chapter Eight

Samantha took a 360-degree glance at the place, her eyes scanning every corner of the cozy, warmly lit cafe. Jasmine’s Cafe was a charming haven, with rustic wooden tables and chairs, the rich scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the sweet aroma of baked goods. The soft hum of quiet conversations and the gentle clinking of cups created a soothing ambiance, while sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting a golden glow on the polished wooden floors and the brick walls adorned with vintage art.Her gaze settled on a man in a suit, instantly marking him as her client. He was the only one who looked out of place among the casual patrons, his sharp attire and polished shoes a stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere. He sat alone at a table near the window, his broad shoulders and upright posture exuding confidence and authority. The table in front of him was spotless, save for a single cup of espresso, its steam spiraling up lazily.With measured steps, Samantha made her

Chapter Nine

Ethan froze on the spot as he saw Samantha walking away from him, just as she did years ago. He wanted to say something, perhaps tell her to stay, but he was short of words. He watched as her hair bounced behind her, each step quick and purposeful as she headed toward the exit of the café.As far as Ethan remembered, he loved her hair. He loved it when she let it down and wouldn’t hesitate to run his fingers through it.But her hair was no longer straight. It was now wavy and a different color, unlike the golden brown he was used to.But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t recognize her with a different hair color.Ethan snapped out of his thoughts when she was nowhere in sight anymore. He was torn between running after her, but he knew that she would have escaped with the fast pace she took out of the café.Ethan picked up his phone on the table and plopped down on the chair he was previously seated on, aggressively scrolling through his contact list.Seeing the number he was looking for, E

Chapter Ten

As Ethan caught sight of Samantha across the bustling café, his heart skipped a beat. Her hair, once a familiar golden brown, now cascaded in soft waves of chestnut. The warm afternoon sunlight filtered through the café windows, casting a gentle glow around her as she moved gracefully through the tables.She wore a simple, yet elegant dress that hugged her figure, accentuating every curve. Her eyes, a deep shade of hazel, betrayed a hint of nervousness as she navigated through the crowd, her steps quick and purposeful.Ethan, usually composed and confident, felt a knot of anticipation and apprehension in his chest. He watched intently as Samantha approached a man in a dark blue suit, Moore James, exchanging pleasantries with a polite smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.Moore stood tall and composed, his suit immaculate against the rustic backdrop of the café. He greeted Samantha warmly, extending a hand in welcome. Their conversation, though brief, carried an undertone of professi
