"Samantha's eyes widened in disbelief as memories of Ethan's touch flooded back. The dim light of the room cast shadows on her face, emphasizing the lines of worry etched around her eyes. She hesitated, her voice trembling as she spoke.'I… I don’t know… I was really nervous,' she stammered, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.'Your cheeks are turning crimson,' Ethan observed with a playful grin, his eyes twinkling mischievously.'Lara, please…' Samantha pleaded, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her shirt.'Oh, sis. I’m not trying to make you uncomfortable.' Lara's voice was gentle, yet probing. 'I just want to confront the reality of this situation. If you admitted you still have feelings for him, I’m sure he’d react harshly, and it would be hard for you to bear.''I’m not trying to startle you.' Samantha took a deep breath, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for escape. 'I just want to face the truth.''I don’t care about him. I swear, I want him out of my
Samantha mentally facepalmed as Kathie chided her over the phone.“What date?”“Girl, what shall it profit you if you keep treating that poor guy like trash?”“I told you today was his birthday and you are still going to disappoint him?“I promised today, but you didn’t leave him your address. He said he’s been trying to reach you, but he can’t get through. Did you block him?”“Look Kathie, I’m really sorry to disappoint him. I thought my gestures made it clear I’m not interested.”“Babe, he’s not asking you to marry him. He just wants to hang out with you.”“Wait, is this about Princess? You said her nanny had the day off. I can come over to look after her so you can go on your date.”“No. That won’t be necessary.”“I’ll reach out to him myself.”“You should go and have fun.”“We shall see,” Samantha ended the call with Kathie.“So sorry about that. Kathie is just a pain.” Samantha sighed to her sister, Lara.“So, you have a date?”“Please don’t start, Sis. I’m already tense enough.”
Ethan had no idea where he was heading to as he made his way into the elevator but he knew he needed to get out of his room.It felt weird going places without his guards which made him do most things in this trip himself but he instructed them to stay back at home and take care of certain things for himWalking out of the building, Ethan’s eyes met with the restaurant/bar that was beside the hotel building.Based on what he heard, the hotel he was lodged in and this restaurant were owned by the same person and only the elites could afford to be there. Sensing that the bar wouldn’t be a bad place to relax and catch his breath and if possible find a lady to have fun with, Ethan found himself walking in the direction of the bar.To get to the bar, one had to go through the restaurant. Ethan was on his way when he suddenly stopped in his tracks at the sight of HER.No, she wasn’t alone and this time around she was with a different man, not the one he saw with her earlier at the cafe.His
At this point, Kelvin rose to his feet, ignoring Samantha’s gesture and grabbed the stranger by the collar of his shirt, wanting to strangle him, not giving a f**** if they were being watched by other people.“Get the f***k away from me!” He said with gritted teeth because he didn’t want any drama either.“I don’t care who the f***k you are but you’re nothing but a disgusting pig. You are no different from an insane man and I bet that you’re nothing but a low-life individual who never has any good thing to say.”“If it’s the mother who offended you, come for her and not the innocent child involved. Christ, did you just listen to yourself? You sound like a devil, having such ill thoughts towards a young girl.”“I would love to burst your bubble. That little girl is nothing but amazing and anyone that doesn’t know her doesn’t know what they are missing.”“We’ve had enough of you. Get the hell out of here!”Before Samantha could say anything. She sighted two hefty men coming towards them
Still not looking Into his eyes, She rose to her feet, picked up her purse from the table, then made her way out of the restaurant. She still didn’t look at him but she could feel his presence behind her.They both brought their cars to the venue so that kept Kelvin wondering for a while about what was going to happen.Once they were outside the venue, he arranged for her car to be brought to the front by the valet and once that was done, he turned to her. “Get in, I’ll drive.”Samantha didn’t argue. She obeyed and got into the car.Once they were both in and buckled up, Kelvin started the engine and drove out of the restaurant.She was hoping he would ask her for her home address since he didn’t exactly know her place but that question never came through.Samantha decided to stop getting bothered as she found herself enjoying the silent ride. She turned her attention to the window, looking into the beautiful streets while buried in her thoughts.After what felt like forever in the si
Samantha didn’t say anything.“Your heart is still healing and I feel like no matter how hard other people try to win you over, it might be fruitless because you’ve totally shut your mind out of love.”“You’re a sweet being, Samantha, and my wish for you is to find a man that will love you so much beyond words and take great care of you.”“I’m glad you went on the date. I’m not happy with the part of Ethan ruining everything, but I’m grateful to know that Kelvin stood up for you against him.”“I agree with Ethan about Samantha being jealous. Because that can only be the legit reason for him being mad at you for being with a man after all that he had put you through.”“He’s an as shole and I’m glad he’s got some competition. Someone as fierce as Kelvin.”“There’s no way they are going to take my single status away from me. Most especially that as shole, Ethan.”“Since he knows about Princess already, do you think he’s going to try something funny?”“I don’t know and I don’t really care
Bessie said nothing but continued to stare at him.“You’ll be getting pleasured and getting paid too. Why are you holding back?”“Did anyone send you to do this?”“What do you mean? You said it yourself that I’m a newbie.”“And that makes you a great suspect.”“Let me guess, you’ve got haters in this workplace.”She rolled her eyes at him, “Don’t act as if you don’t know haters are everywhere.”“You’ve got to have like two or more jobs to survive. I’ve got a corporate job during the day and this is my night job. I was a bit late, and that was why my colleague.” She pointed to the guy at the bar “attended to you first.”“Interesting!” He mumbled, “So you are not scared of your Boss or any of your colleagues seeing you here?”Bessie shrugged, “I’m just a receptionist over there so I’m sure the company doesn’t mind. A few colleagues know what I do. Besides, no one is holy. I have to do what I need to do to help my family.”“I like your personality so I’ll make a little increase. 20,000?”
She sighed, a part of her giving in as she noticed that she had a good chemistry with him.“Alic Incorporation.” She mumbled.“That’s where I work.”The name sounded familiar in Ethan’s head until it hit him, making a small smile creep to his lips like he just hit a jackpot.“Perfect! You’re going to help me!”Bessie stared at Ethan in confusion as the corner of his lips curved into a genuine smile.“Help you?”“How?”“With what?”“Don’t tell me you’re going to blackmail me now just because I got 20,000 from you? Gosh, I shouldn’t have trusted you.”“Can you just calm down?” He said, approaching her.“I may be all sorts of things but I don’t go back on my words. I’ve got no right to threaten you. That’s a very childish thing to do.”“I’m serious about being good and genuine friends with you.”“Then what do you want from me?”“I mean what can I help you with?”“I might as well just confess.”“You better do!” She mumbled, folding her arms.“I came here for business and I’m meant to be r
His eyes darted at Samantha and he saw that she had cleared her plate. She was sipping her drink from the glass cup and she looked extremely calm, as though nothing strange happened“Can I have my phone back?” She said, placing her glass cup which still had some drink in it back on the tray.“Why was Kelvin calling you?”“Why are you asking me? How did you expect me to know? You were the one who answered the call.”“When will you stop being brutal to me?” He said, looking deep into her eyes.“When you leave me the hell alone.”“That is not possible! You should start getting used to me.”“Stay the hell away from Kelvin Block him and never speak to him.”“He is my colleague.”“Avoid him!”“I will speak to someone. If it is possible to employ more people so you will not have to work closely with him.”“That will be a waste of time and effort because I can still see him and f uck him if I want to. Your opinion does not matter in my life. I am not a child and I know what I want.”Ethan sig
“I swear if I find out that you have been maltreating her, you are going to pay dearly for it. I won’t care if I love you so much; you are going to pay dearly for it because nobody messes with my blood,” Ethan said to her at the top of his voice, meaning every word that came out of his mouth.“Wait! Do not tell me that she is with that gold digger?” Ethan did not have to mention his name before Mary knew that she was referring to Ashton.“God, help me not to murder that man!” he mumbled, running his fingers harshly through his hair.“Australian laws are really strict. You are not popular here, and trust me when I say there is no way you are going to escape punishment no matter who you are! If you lay a finger on Ashton, then be ready to face the law by killing an innocent person.”“She is not with Ashton? Then who is she with?” he glared at her.“It is none of your business!”“Of course, it is my damn business. I am her biological father!”Victoria shook her head. “There is more to be
Blake had always been a breast man. He loved his women curvy, and Samantha had always had that curvy body, but seeing her after five years, he couldn't help but think she was now insanely sexier. He knew the birth of their daughter had really done good to her.“Do you only think about sex?” she spat at him as his eyes lingered on her chest.“I’m hardly sane whenever I’m around you.”“Please stop it! I’m sure you say that to every woman you come across.”“You know how much I hate it when people take me for granted. I don’t struggle to get what I want, but you have made me totally insane just because I want us to get back together.”“I will endure if this is what it takes to have you again.”“Stay away from Ashton and every other man. If you don’t, I give you my word that I am going to ruin them.”“And before you start denying it again, I’m sure you don’t want me to remind you of how well I know your body.”“God, I missed you so much!” Blake buried his nose in her neck once more, inhalin
"Okay, if it will make you feel better, I forgive you from the bottom of my heart. I promise, I am no longer mad at you, you can choose to still own the shares, I don’t mind anymore. As long as you do not intend to do anything evil. I forgive you and that means you are free to go back to America. Princess and I would be just fine.”“What do you take me for, Vee? I may not know a lot of things about being a father yet but do you see me as someone who will be so cruel and incapable of protecting his daughter? Why do you hate me so much that you do not want to give me any chance to make things right?”“Look, Ethan. I do not mean to offend you but I am just doing what any mother would do in my situation. Call me whatever you feel like, feel free to be mad at me but I am brutal when it comes to my daughter’s safety.”“Then I think I would have to go the brutal way too!” He challenged.Samantha frowned, folding her arms, “What do you mean?”“The plan was to come, and apologize to you, thoug
She stopped what she was doing and turned around to face him. “That was nothing. I was just carried away. I feel absolutely nothing for you. Let that sink into your head and get the f*k out of my house.”“I think we have gone past the stage where we both have to be in denial.”“You may say otherwise but your eyes do not lie.”“What now? You can read my mind by looking into my eyes? What are you again? A soothsayer?”“Don’t do this, Samantha. We are not going to get anywhere by going back and forth!” He said with a pleading voice, trying to direct his eyes to her face and not her naked body. He could not believe this was what he had been missing all this while. Her body has changed so much and he loved it. She now had well-defined curves in the right places which appealed to him the more. The thought of her belonging to another man or another man touching her was sending so much jealousy to his heart already.”“We made love and it was good. I saw the way your body reacted to my touch a
Literally, Ethan had more strength than she could ever dream about having but with everything in her, she pushed him away from her and ran straight into the bathroom with her boobs falling out of her silk. night dress.She shut the door behind her and Ethan heard her lock it.He sighed, running his hands through his hair. Heaven knows he does not regret a thing but a little part of him was starting to get anxious of the probability of ruining things already.”“He pulled up his briefs as well as pants, buckled up, and decided to stretch his legs by taking strolls around the room before deciding what to do next.”For the first time since he stepped into her room, Ethan took notice of the details in his environment.Super tidy and beautifully decorated with fine pieces of furniture. It was also spacious too, making him remember how organized his Samantha usually was.Ethan found himself taking steps toward Samantha’s nightstand.When he got there, he picked up the picture frame that was
Once Gloria left, Samantha shut the door, locking it from behind after which she heaved a long sigh. She could not believe that she was having the whole weekend to herself. She missed Princess already but she was rest assured since she was going to be with her brother and sister-in-law. The people she trusts most in her life.Deciding she was going to make this weekend worthwhile, Samantha made her way to the bar area, and reached for her favorite bottle of wine and a glass cup.With the items in her hand, she proceeded to her bedroom and went directly to her adjoined bathroom.She positioned the bottle of wine and glass cup by the counter, and prepared a bath which took a few minutes because she wanted the right temperature. Once that was all set, Samantha undressed, put her clothes away, opened the bottle, and poured some wine into the glass cup, putting both items by the stand beside the bathtub.Remembering something was missing, she dashed into her room naked and reached for her t
“You all need to stop taking my love life seriously. Kelvin and I ended it and please do not ask me why. Or wait, I will just give you a brief summary so you do not think I am being too irrational.”“There is this girl. I think a receptionist on the ground floor. Holy sh*t, I can’t believe I am already into office gossip.” She massaged her temple, making Lara chuckle.“I don’t even know her or her name. I just discovered her today. Apparently, she is into Kelvin. She heard about our date last night and came to warn me to stay away from him.”“Unfortunately, she met me sitting on Kelvin’s lap so….”“Holy sh*t, that must be so bloody!”“You cannot imagine!”“I am so sorry about that. And what did Kelvin say?”“He was really pissed! I told him the whole thing is over and I want nothing to do with him.”“And before you start supporting him, you know how triggered I am by office drama? I really want nothing to do with him anymore and I made that clear already.”“That is so sad. I was serio
“So what is the way forward now?”“Wait, you said you saw the little girl? Did you approach her or something?”“No, I did not. I could not move my body or breathe well when I saw her. I can’t explain the feeling that came over me. I suddenly felt weak and numb.”“I am glad you are feeling all the emotions that you hardly feel. Hopefully, it is going to bring you back to your senses.”“Your action sucked, you f***d up! What is going to be the way forward?” Greg asked again.“I do not know!” He answered, filling up his glass cup with some more wine.“I know that tone in your voice but I want to believe that I am mistaken.”“You are going to work things out, right?”“I do not know, Greg. You should know me by now. I am really f***ed up. I try to mend situations but I end up ruining them.”“Ethan!!”“What?” He groaned.“You do not want to apologize. That is why you are coming up with these silly excuses.”“Stop making up stories, Greg.”“I am not making up stories. I know you and I know w
