Sam was startled that she turned around instantly to look who touched her. Then, she was surprised to see Charles.
“Charles!” She sighed while she held her chest.
“Sorry, did I startle you?” asked Charles when he noticed Sam’s nervous expression.
“Yeah. By the way, I thought you’re busy. What are you doing here?” asked Sam.
“I just told you that because I want to surprise you. Aren’t you surprised?” said Charles with a grin.
Sam was confused. She was wondering how did Charles know that she was coming. “Surprise me? I was supposed to surprise you but- wait, all my things left here are gone.”
“I’ll tell you where your stuff is but you need to answer my question first,” said Charles staring at her.
“What is that?” Sam asked curiously.
Charles became serious. “Sam, you know how much I love you. Do you still love me too?” He asked in a magnetic voi
Steve smiled innocently at Charles which made Charles more annoyed.While Sam was flattered by Steve's remarks. She felt warm inside with their praises.Mrs. Davidson continued chatting with Sam. It seemed that she was so interested in Sam's life. She did not pay so much attention to Steve and was not noticed Charles's indifferent reaction.After dinner, Charles and Sam rest for a while before they prepared to leave.“Charles, what if you spend overnight here? It’s been a while since you last slept here. Besides, Sam and I have a lot to talk about.” Mrs. Davidson suggested as she enjoyed Sam’s company.“Mom, there’s still next time. Sam was tired from travel earlier. She needs to rest,” said Charles as an excuse. He really does not want to stay with Steve as he felt uncomfortable especially that Sam was with him.Although Sam was really exhausted that she wanted to go home as well.
"Alright, I'll pick it up this afternoon," Sam replied.Last year, Sam was not able to attend the reunion because she went to the southern suburbs. Thus, she planned to attend this year sinceit's nearly six years now when she graduated from college.“By the way mom, I moved to a new house.” She continued.“Moved? Why so sudden? Didn’t you just paid your apartment last year?” Mrs. Wilson was puzzled.“It’s a long story, mom. I’ll tell you later when I get there. I’ll hang up now. Bye!” Sam ended the call.She could not tell over the phone that Charles gave her a house that’s why she intended to go there to inform her mom.After the call, Sam took her favorite novel from the bookshelf and sat down on the sofa. She read it until she unconsciously fell asleep. It appeared that she needs to sleep more.Sam suddenly woke up due to the tone of her ring
Mrs. Wilson was shocked when she saw that Sam and Charles came together.Although she was aware that they got back together.She recalled what Sam told her earlier, thus an assumption formed in her mind. She thought that they must be telling her about it that’s why they went together.Mrs. Davidson threw a questionable look at Sam. She did not expect that it would turn out like this.“Mom, where’s the invitation?” asked Sam not noticing her mother's peculiar expression.Mrs. Wilson was lost in her thoughts, she did not notice that Sam was talking to her.“Mom? Why do you look astonished? Is something the matter?” Sam worriedly stared at her mother when she did not answer.That’s the only time Mrs. Wilson paid attention to her daughter.“Huh? I-I was just thinking of something. What is it?”
Everyone in the event was puzzled why Charles left in a hurry including Olivia. She wondered if she said something wrong as he looked flustered before he left.While Charles almost flies to the parking area. He has a bad hunch that it’s not a simple mistake or prank but he could not think who has the intention to do so.He was aware that Sam has a limited social circle. Only Kelly has the motive but she was already in prison. Aside from her, he could not think of anyone.When Charles reached his car, he immediately got in and drove fast to the university while he was trying to call Sam.“Sam, answer your phone,” Charles said anxiously.However, Sam could not answer his call because shewas trying to escape Jules.Based on Jules's nasty expression, Sam sensed that he would not do anything good. Therefore, rightafter he blocked her path and threwher a question, sh
Charles pulled himself together. He thought that Sam was in danger and needs immediate help. He should think of a way how to rescue Sam the soonest.He ended his call with Sam and decided to call the nearest police station to the university. He reported the incident and asked to send rescue for Sam.However, the police station was fifteen minutes away from the university. Heglimpsed at his navigation map and found out that he’s still twenty minutes away.Charles gnashed his teeth as he thumped the steering wheel with his right hand. Then, he pressed the accelerator harder. He needs to get there quickly.Thereafter, he called Sam once again. He should at least know her situation as of the moment.When Sam’s phone rang, Jules got distracted. He looked where the sound was coming and he saw the purse on the floor where she put her phone.“You have a caller. It must be your boyfrie
Little did Jules know, Charles used to join martial arts tournaments when he was in college and he continues it until now as his workout when his time permits him to do so.Hence, there’s no trace of fear on Charles’s face even after he saw the dagger in Jules's hand. He just smirked at him while he removes his coat. He thought that it would be a serious fight this time.Moreover, Charles noticed that Jules was not a good fighter. Considering their age gap, he was stronger and has advanced knowledge in fighting. He also sensed his nervousness while getting the dagger out of his pocket.Meanwhile, Sam regained her consciousness. She was wondering what happened after she fainted. She anxiously feels her body but she only felt the pain in her belly caused by the punch of Jules earlier. Aside from that, she’s certain that he did nothing to her.She slowly sits down as she holds her belly. Then, she caught sight of Charl
When Charles met Sam, he believed that it’s not by chance nor by accident. He knew that there’s a reason behind it.And the reason was that Sam would be needing his care and protection. Thus, he felt glad that he was able to fulfill it.Charles continued. “That we’re destined to be together, aren’t we?”Sam was not able to reply. She remembered when Harvey also asked her about destiny.Charles glanced at her while he parked his car in front of Sam’s house.After a moment, Sam asked. “Do you believe in destiny?”“Of course, if not what do you think wasthe reason why we met that night? I don’t usually spend late at night in the office and I’m sure you don’t usually sleep on the bus.” Charles sounds a little cheesy.“Hmm. Maybe, it’s really destiny.” Sam was still skeptical but she agreed.“By the way, my dad would be visiting us this weekend. He
Sam was stunned. She has no idea what Mrs. Davidson was talking about. She just guessed that Bella must be Charles’s ex-girlfriend but he did not mention it to her.“Sorry, Auntie but may I know who’s Bella?” Sam asked curiously. She was interested to know her.“She was the first woman brought here by Charles. At first, I like her because she looked nice and simple. Until one day, I discovered her true color. I saw her with another man. So, I made an investigation about her. Then, I found out that she has a boyfriend who she really loves. And that she was just using Charles because of his wealth.” Mrs. Davidson explained.Sam felt a little jealous when she learned about Bella. All this time, she thought that she’s the first woman in Charles’s life.‘She must be his first love.’ She thought. Now she understands why Mrs. Davidson was cold towards her before. She could not just trust that easily because of that previou
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
