“Sam, will you marry me?”
Samantha Wilson was only 21 years old and just graduated from college. She did not expect that her one-year relationship with Charles would lead to this marriage proposal. She was really surprised.
Although Charles Davidson, a 25-year-old businessman, is really an outstanding man. His family owns the largest bus company in the city. She knows he could give her everything. However, she is not ready yet. She is still very young. She has a lot of dreams and wants to achieve so many things in life on her own.
“Say yes! Say yes!” Shouted by the crowd present in the restaurant.
Samantha was confused. She did not know how to answer. Pressured by the crowd, she responded.
"Charles, s-sorry.” Then, she suddenly ran away from that place. She was afraid to see his reaction that’s why she ran without turning back. Charles was left speechless and frozen from kneeling.
Three years later.
A man in a black suit walked out of the exit of the airport. His features are all perfect from head to toe - deep dark eyes, perfect sharp nose, thin red lips, masculine body, and a tall figure. A look that everyone will surely remember in just one glance. The man of every woman’s fantasy.
“Hello? Ben, where are you? I just arrived... Okay.” He answered the call with his cold magnetic voice.
Charles Davidson who left the country three years ago finally returned after the incident of his failed proposal. He still looks as handsome as ever.
A color blue Ferrari parked in front of him. Envious and admiring gazes will be seen around him.
He got in the car. “Boss, how’s your trip?” Ben asked, his driver.
“Fine, just had some turbulence. Maybe due to the bad weather coming. I want to take a nap. Drive safely.” He answered then he closed his eyes.
“Okay Boss, take a good rest.”
Meanwhile, there was an accident on the road. Sam’s car got bumped by a truck. Fortunately, the speed of the truck was not that fast and she was wearing her seatbelt so she did not get a major injury. Her back and head just slightly hurt due to the impact of the collision.
The police and traffic enforcers were on the road to investigate the incident.
“What’s the matter?” Charles asked the driver when he noticed that they were not moving for about 10 minutes.
“Sir, as per waze there was a traffic jam due to a car accident 300 meters away,” Robert explained.
“Car accident?” He did not know but he felt nervous once he heard that there was an accident. For this reason, he could not sleep anymore.
After 15 minutes, they finally moved. He looked on the road to see the cause ofthe traffic. Then, his heart skipped when he saw a familiar face on the side of the road.
“Police officers I was not holding my cellphone when the accident happened as he claimed. I am always careful when I drive to avoid anything like this from happening." Sam spoke calmly explaining herself.
“If you are not using your phone, then why did you suddenly slow down? If not, we will not bump into your car accidentally.” The truck driver asked arrogantly.
“I did slow down but I was not using my phone as you said. You bumped my car because you're not paying attention.” She’s still controlling her temper.
Unexpectedly, a cold deep voice was heard. They all turned their head.
“What’s the noise about?”
Sam was shocked when she saw him and her memory three years ago flashbacked. She stared at the man with mixed emotions. She wanted to hug him and say that she missed him a lot. But she has no right.
After that proposal, she heard that Charles went abroad to manage their family business there. She wanted to call him but she had no face to do so. They had no communication since then.
And now, he suddenly appeared in this pitiful situation.
“Mr. Davidson, it was just a small accident. We apologize for the trouble it had caused you.” The police officer explained politely.
Davidson family is very popular in the city. Everyone knows them as they owned the largest bus company in their land.
“I see, investigate properly. I’ll be leaving.” He turned around after he said those words. He just checked the situation. After he confirmed that Sam was safe, he immediately left.
‘He left just like that? He did not look at me even for a second? Was he still angry at me? Sigh, I deserved it after what I did to him.’ Sam was lost in her thoughts.
After both of the parties gave their statement they were invited to the police station to get the police report.
The following day, Sam brought her car to the repair shop.
“Luckily it’s Sunday today.” She said to herself. She planned to go to the mall to buy a dress for the year-end party of their company, so she booked a grab car. After 5 minutes of waiting, a car stopped in front of her.
‘So fast huh?’ The car was the same color as indicated in the app so she got in the car without looking at the plate number.
She was browsing the internet when the driver asked.
“Where are you going?”
She was stunned. ‘Why is this voice so familiar?’ She looked at the driver who was staring at her in the rearview mirror. Her eyes widened in shock. “C-Charles?”

Charles slightly curved his lips. “I just stopped in front of you, then you instantly hopped in my car. What were you thinking?”“I’m so s-sorry I booked a grab car just now and I thought it was you.” She was very ashamed at the moment. After she apologized, she opened the door to get down.“Running away again?” He raised a brow.Sam blushed after she heard those words. “Where are you going? Let me take you there since you’re already in my car.”She looked at her phone. “Hmmm...the grab car I booked will be here in few minutes.” She told him as an excuse.“Why I feel that you are avoiding me?” He stared a
“Sam, our new CEO is Charles,” said Cindy.“I heard it, you don’t need to repeat it,” Sam replied in low spirit.“Good evening everyone! Thank you for that wonderful introduction. It’s very heartwarming to hear those good words. I am looking forward to workwith all of you. I will make it short as I know that it’s getting late already. Let us work hard together for the further success of the company. Thank you!” Everyone clapped again their hands.Meanwhile, Sam did not know what to do. ‘How am I going to work with him? Should I resign? No, my hard work will be put to waste if I resign.’ She left the party dispirited with Cindy.“So, are you excited?” Cindy teased her. She did no
“You are really good at escaping.” Sam heard Charles’s magnetic cold voice from behind.“Huh?” She froze for a moment. ‘I will just get the financial statements.’ She wanted to say.However, Charles suddenly grabbed her waist and turned her back into him. Her eyes widened in shock.‘How did he get here in a flash?’ She thought.“Your habit of running away is not good, Sam,” Charles whispered.Sam felt his warm breath into her ears. She couldn’t react at the moment as her heartbeat ran so fast. Her body froze but her mind was telling her to hug the man that was just an inch from her.
Henry left after an hour."Sam, Henry is a good man. I think it's about time-""Mom, here we go again." She doesn't want to hear what her mother was going to say."I am not ready yet. And it is better for us to remain friends." She does not want to enter into a serious relationship again. Aside from the fact that she’s still in love with Charles."Because you still can't forget Charles?" It was more of a statement rather than a question. Her mom knew it as well."Mom, you should rest now. It's already late." She's obviously avoiding the topic.The next morning, Sam filed a leave to accompany her mother in the hospital. She has no choice as Richard was now graduating from college.Her phone rang. She picked it up to answer. The caller was from an unknown number."Hello?""Where are you?" She heard the familia
Charles couldn't help to smile upon thinking of what he did that time.Sam was really hard to handle. She is an elusive and independent woman. She is in charge of her own decisions and does not rely on anyone unnecessarily.While Charles was used to being chased by women. Every woman he met always try their best to climb up his bed. But Sam was different from them. She even avoided him several times. That made him more attractive to her.'...'After he checked the Financial Statements and other reports, he found out that the company was operating smoothly.

When they are about to leave, they heard a soft female voice from the other table.“Charles, you’re also here.” That was Kelly. She just came when she saw Charles. Her eyes lit up in excitement.Kelly looks so gorgeous in her simple pink dress matched with her colorful accessories. It emphasized her glowing skin and sexy body that looked refreshing to the eyes.Kelly Young is a famous supermodel at her age of 26. She's the only daughter of John Young. Her father owns the largest real estate business in the country.She smiled brightly while approaching them. She simply looked at Sam from head to toe.“K
A couple of minutes later, Charles arrived in his office with the usual cold expression on his face. Right after he accompanied Kelly to her car, he asked his assistant to get a copy of the surveillance camera in the cafe.After 30 minutes, his assistant emailed to him a copy of the surveillance camera. He immediately opened it.As soon as he finished watching the video, his expression became dark.At first, he thought that Sam deliberately threw her cup of coffee on Kelly as she was jealous of her. However, he knew that Sam would not do it unreasonably. That’s why he asked for a copy of the surveillance camera.And it turned out that Kelly was the one who approached Sam and intentional
Sam and Robert were walking in the hallway when Charles suddenly called her."Where are you going, Ms. Wilson? Our meeting will start in 30 minutes." Charles said with his deep cold voice."Meeting?” Sam was startled. She was not aware of the meeting. While Robert furrowed his brows."Didn't my secretary inform you that we will have a lunch meeting with another client at Grand Hotel?" He was irritated by her reaction.She thought of it deeply but she could not recall that they have a meeting. However, she turned and apologized to Robert."I am so sorry Robert. I overlooked my schedule today."
Five months later. “You may now kiss the bride.” Charles excitedly pulled back the veil and gently kissed Sam on her lips that last for seconds. Everyone looks so happy for the couple as they clapped their hands. Mrs. Wilson was happy and emotional at the same time that her only daughter was now married. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson were so happy as well knowing how the two love each other so much. Mrs. Johnson also attended the wedding. She was also delighted for Sam and Charles. She knows that her son was happy watching them wherever he is. While Richard held Leila’s hand as he smiled at her. Leila felt conscious that she blushed. They were in a relationship for four months now. Richard court her during the time that she was taking care of his mother. Henry and Cindy were also there smiling broadly. Cindy was in her
“Harvey, do you hear me? Do you feel me? Please wake up if you do. Open your eyes. Please, Harvey!” Sam exclaimed as she held Harvey's hand. Then, she broke into hysterical tears.Mrs. Johnson who was watching through the glass window suddenly ran into the room when she noticed that Sam was being emotionally out of control.Helen also followed her mom inside the room.“Sam, calm down.” Mrs. Johnson said as she held her shoulders.“Auntie, Harvey was crying. He can hear me. He was listening to me. I saw tears fell from his eyes but he doesn’t wake up.” Sam mumbled between her sobs.Mrs. Johnson was astounded. She immediately moved toward Harvey and yes, she saw tears.
Harvey felt relieved when he learned that Sam was safe. However, his condition became worst after his heart attack as it resulted in a complication called arrhythmia or irregular heart rhythm. His heart’s natural electrical rhythm has been damaged.His doctor suggested placing an implantable cardioverter defibrillator into his chest or atrial fibrillation ablationto restore a normal heartbeat since his heart developed a rhythm that’s life threatening or if worst comes to worst, to undergo a heart transplant.Consequently, Harvey confessed to Charles and Mrs. Wilson that he has heart disease that was diagnosed early last year when he suffered from chest pain. It turned out that he inherited it from his father who died due to the said disease.Aside from managing their family business, it
Steve also looked at Kelly and their gaze met.Without warning, Kelly leaned forward and kissed Steve on his lips.Steve was shocked by the unexpected move of Kelly but he felt like his adrenaline was going up. He likes the feeling, it’s good and it’s sweet.Hence, he did not think twice, he kissed her back passionately. Then, he enfolded her in his arms and laid her down on the bed while Kelly wrapped her arms around his neck. They kissed for so long until they were out of breath.Steve could no longer hold the sensation. He felt so hot that he removed his clothes. Then, he quickly undressed Kelly as well.Kelly moaned as his warm lips kissed their way down her neck, across her shoulder, down her body.Afterward, their bodies became one. Dancing to the music of their groans and moans.The following day, Kelly woke up with a smile on her lips a
Right after Charles and Sam left the place, Kelly arrived.She was so shocked at the scene she witnessed. The doorknob was broken and Charles was no longer in the room.Then, Kelly saw Steve unconscious lying on the floor with a bloody wound next to a bloody knife.Her eyes widened.“Steve!” She screamed right after she saw him.She thought that Steve was dead already but she heard him spoke.“Kelly, b-bring me to the hospital,” Steve mumbled in a weak voice.Kelly did not think twice. She bends down and helps Steve to get up. Then, she brought him to the car and drove to go to the hospital.“What happened?” Kelly asked while she started to drive.“Sam came and rescued Charles,” Steve answered directly.“Sam? How did she learn this place?” Kelly was puzzled.Steve recalled his conversation with Sam. “I guess sh
After Sam entered the house, she hurriedly went to the room where Charles was sleeping. She saw him with a pale face that looks distressed and with scrape wounds on the areas where he has been tied up.She imagined how much he struggled to loosen the ropes.“Charles,” Sam uttered as soon as she got near him. She tried to wake him up but he was still sleeping soundly.Hence, she tried to untie him but the ropes were tightly bound. So shesearched for something to use to cut the rope until she saw a knife in the kitchen.Sam does not waste any second as she knows that Kelly would return anytime.However, it took her a while to untie one of the ropes. Aside from several ropes coiled up, she could not spend so much force using her left arm.After she was done with Charles’s one hand, she tried again to wake him up.“Charles, Charles,” Sam
Sam was feeling restless. She could not think of any reason for Steve to pretend as Charles.However, she felt strange since Charles was acting differently. She knows that he won’t interfere with her decision especially about work. He knows very well how she loves her job.Henceforth, there was something in her heart that tells her that he was not Charles but her mind could not deny that he was definitely him.'I need to find it out.' She told herself.After Sam got some clothes and personal stuff, she went back to the hospital.When she got down the car, she saw Charles‘s car leaving the hospital. She guessed that he visited her but he left shortly since she was not there.Sam took her phone from her bag to call Charles and inform him that she’s back. However, she suddenly decided to follow him instead because she wanted to resolve her doubt once and for all.Sam a
Afterward, Kelly entered the room smiling sweetly at Charles. Then, she sat down beside him.“How are you, sweetheart? If you only chose me, we will not reach this point.” Kelly said as she stroke down her fingers from his face to his chest.Charles hated it but he tried to endure it. “Why Kelly? Do you really love me? No, you don’t love me for real. Because you only love yourself!”“Charles, what are you saying? I love you with all my heart. That’s why I don’t want you to be with another woman.” Kelly uttered then she laid down her head on Charles’s chest and hugged him.Charles closed his eyes in annoyance. He wanted to push her but his hands were tied up.He took a deep breath and mumbled softly.“If you really love me, you won’t treat me this way. I’ll be forever grateful if you help me to get out of here. We can be together after this if you want.”Kelly sat straight a
Meanwhile, in the western city, there was a man in a dark room with his hands and feet tied up on the bed. He was listening to the voices outside the room that seemed to be fighting.“I made everything clear. We agreed that you won’t do anything without my consent. But what did you do? You harm Sam without my knowledge." The man exclaimed. He was so mad that Sam’s life was put in danger.“Why are you so agitated by what I have done? Does it matter to you?” The woman questioned him raising her brow. She was wondering why he was so furious about what she did.“Yes, it matters to me because she’s going to be my wife.” He answered as he violently grabbed her arm.“Huh? Who are you trying to fool? Don’t forget that you’re just pretending to be Charles.” The woman laughed at him contemptuously as she swayed her arm from his grasp.“Who cares? They won't know. Besides, I’ll be the one who will marry her so
