When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA'S POV
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to intrude. I-I just wanted to, you know what nevermind… I'll talk to you later," She stuttered as she apologized and turned to leave, giving us some privacy. I couldn't help but feel a rush of relief as she exited, allowing me to compose myself.But before I could fully gather my thoughts, I found myself pushing Lucas away, creating a distance between us. My heart was racing, and a mix of embarrassment and uncertainty flooded through me. I needed to regain control of the situation."Lucas, what was that?" I questioned, my voice tinged with a hint of annoyance. "You can't just pull stunts like that. It's not fair."Lucas looked at me, his expression a mix of determination and frustration. "Samantha, we've discussed this before. We need our marriage to appear genuine to the outside world. That means we have to play our parts convincingly."I couldn't deny the truth in his words, but I was still taken aback by his audacity. "But did yo

As Lucas and Audrey continued their conversation, their voices filled with affection and intimacy, I clenched my teeth to suppress the bitterness that engulfed me. I couldn't bear to listen to their sweet nothings any longer. Ignoring their presence, I walked to the closet and picked out a nightgown, and made my way to the bathroom.With each step, I distanced myself from Lucas voice that filled the room. The sound of their laughter and whispered exchanges faded into the background as I closed the bathroom door behind me. I needed a moment of respite, a brief escape from the facade I was living.The cool tiles beneath my feet offered a solace from the tension that had settled within me. As I turned on the faucet, the sound of rushing water filled the air, drowning out the noise from the room outside.I stepped into the soothing shower, as the water cascade over my body, washing away the weariness that clung to my skin. In that moment of solitude, I reflected on the path I had chosen.

I looked up from my laptop and watched as Samantha walked to the headboard and grabbed a pillow, my irritation began to simmer beneath the surface. Her insistence on creating unnecessary barriers between us was starting to wear on my patience– this would be worse than I thought. I couldn't understand why she was so stubborn, so hell-bent on making things difficult for both of us, especially me. Getting father's approval was one thing but staying with this woman? I'll lose my mind before we're done."What do you think you're doing?" I couldn't help but ask, I held myself from showing so much irritation already brewing inside of me. The furrow on my brow deepened as I watched her lay out a bedsheet on the floor, seemingly determined to sleep there.For a moment, there was silence. Samantha's gaze met mine, her eyes defiant and ready for a tug of word exchange– sweet baby Jesus! She didn't utter a single word. It was as if her silence was a protest, a way of asserting her independence.T

As I lay on the bed, my body curled up, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling inside me. Lucas had managed to get under my skin, and it was taking every ounce of self-control to hold back my frustration. I closed my eyes, attempting to find solace in the darkness, but my mind was still racing.His words echoed in my head, his anger evident in every syllable. "Never put up such an act again. Don't think of sleeping on the floor ever again." His stern voice lingered, a constant reminder of the power dynamics at play in this arrangement.I knew Lucas was stubborn, but his determination to have things his way rubbed me the wrong way. I couldn't help but question his motives. What was he so scared of? Did he think that by letting me sleep on the floor, I would somehow disappear or cease to be a part of his life?But as I replayed our argument in my mind, I realized that my own stubbornness had fueled the fire. The more he pushed, the more I resisted. It was a battle of wills,

I watched as Samantha's eyes widened with shock– did she really think I was going to sleep outside my room? It amused me to see her so surprised and caught off guard by my presence in the bed. I got up from the bed and moved to sit on the chair in my study, enjoying the momentary confusion that lingered on Samantha's face.I collapsed into the chair in my study and poured myself a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid swirling within the glass. As I took a sip, Samantha's soft voice reached my ears, barely a whisper but loud enough for me to catch her words."Who begins his day with alcohol anyways?" she muttered, her tone laced with a mixture of irritation and disapproval.A smug smile played at the corners of my lips as I took a deliberate sip. I set the glass down with a satisfying thud and leaned back in the chair, my gaze fixed on Samantha– her doey eyes blankly staring into space."You have a lot to learn about me, Samantha," I replied, my voice laced with amusement. "I start my d

"Let go of me!" I yelled, my voice laced with more surprise than anger as Lucas's grip tightened around my arm.He seemed unperturbed by my outburst. I caught a smirk in his face as his grip tightened, holding me firmly in place. It was as if he pounced on every opportunity to step on my toes, relishing the physical strength he had over me– How much I hate his guts! His actions made anger course through my veins, I struggled to break free from his grasp but with each protest his grip tightened."Lucas, I demand that you let go of me this instant! Leave me the fuck alone!" I warned, my voice taking on a stern tone.He stared at me intently, his eyes searching mine, "You wish," he muttered. In a flash, Lucas spun me around, his arms enveloping me in a back hug. His unexpected gesture caught me off guard, my anger momentarily giving way to confusion."What do you think you're doing?" I demanded, I hoped he couldn't decipher the confusion in my voice. I tried to wiggle out of his embrace,

"I kissed you, Samantha," he replied, his voice husky, as he stared deep into my eyes, his gaze sending shivers down my spine. "Because sometimes actions speak louder than words."I stood there, caught between the rush of emotions. "Move away from me," I said, pushing him aside, but he wouldn't budge.He gently tugged at my hair, "No I'm not going to move aside,one more word from you and the kiss would be the least you'd experience today," I scoffed, "What the hell did you just say?"He corked the corner of his lips in smile, "I didn't stutter, you heard me clearly Ms. Hail," I rolled my eyes– he just wouldn't listen, "It's Hall, not Hail… Lucas can you just put an end to all of this? It makes me sick," He pushed his head towards me, our nose almost touching, "Or you mean it gives you butterflies? Don't act like you didn't enjoy the kiss… don't try to undermine my kissing prowess," He said, sarcasm etched in his tone.I took a step back. "Lucas," I said firmly, my voice tinged with

When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
Days had passed and everything seemed to return back to normal except for a few times– when I saw Audrey, either at the house during breakfast or at the office. Asides that, my relationship with Lucas was moving just fine.I got out of the bed and made to walk into the bathroom to prepare for work when I lost balance and fell back on the bed. My head felt fuzzy and my legs were wobbly. I held the back of my neck to keep it steady, but it was like a log of wood was stuck in my head."My goodness…" I muttered under my breath as I managed to stand up and started making my way to the bathroom, when I felt bile rise to my throat. I quickened my steps, turned on the faucet when I stepped foot into the bathroom and threw up all the content in my stomach. I felt fuzzy the more I threw up, I slid onto the floor and leaned my back against the wall.There was a knock on the door. "Come in…" my voice was faint, even through the sound of the water gushing out I knew he must've heard.Lucas came in
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
I had mixed feelings about Lucas' actions. Yes, Audrey was a bit too much, but she was carrying his baby or at least that was what she made us think. Perhaps, he should have been a little lenient with her and let her be till she puts to bed."Are you cussing at me because of Samantha?" Audrey's tone was that of bewilderment.A vein in Lucas' neck pulsed hard, "My wife. That's who she is and I wouldn't have you displace her," he tightened his grip in my hands, "Now get out," his voice was calm but had the sharp edge of a sword.Audrey looked at me intently and I could clearly see through the hatred that brewed from her. She stared for a while and left.Lucas turned to face me. "I shouldn't have picked up a fight with her in the office," I regretted my actions, but it was much needed.He placed a finger over my lips, "It's okay pumpkin, you don't have to defend anything," his voice reached to my heart and patched the broken pieces like the holes weren't there to begin with."I love you
When Storm Meets Hail LUCAS’ POV
My schedule stared at me and I could barely make out the words. I had a meeting slated for four p.m and I was already bored. I was tired sick of everything happening, Samantha was doing a good job trying to keep it together but, for how long would she keep up with the act.A knock sounded on my door, the door creaked open and my secretary walked in. "Sir the meeting–"I rubbed my forehead in frustration, "I know what time the meeting is slated for,"She nodded and walked towards my desk to pick my laptop. "It's in five minutes right?" I questioned."Yes Sir, and some of the board members are already on their way," she said.I waved my hands in dismissal. I was suffocating and nobody was seeing it, or maybe they were and they can't do anything to salvage the situation. Audrey coming to the office was something I'd never have imagined to happen and it did.What was my father thinking, agreeing to it in the first place? He hated her the moment he set eyes on her, ''She's not good enough
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
Soon after Lucas left for his office, Laura walked in looking a bit disgruntled and without my regular morning coffee."Laura, I thought you left to get my coffee?" I questioned, when in fact she left to give Lucas and I privacy.She inched closer to my desk, "The new staff took the cup of coffee from me," her voice was low, I had to strain my ears to make out what she was saying.I clenched my fist into a ball, taking a deep seated breath to quench the anger that was threatening to erupt. "And who's the new lady?"You know who.Laura tugged at the edge of her shirt, "Audrey–"Take a deep breath Samantha. I took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds and forced a smile across my face. "Thank you Laura, you may leave now," I tried so hard to conceal the disdain in my voice."I'm sorry ma'am. I should have been more careful. But, she just snatched it from–"I raised a finger to stop her from saying more. I should have scolded her, but this had absolutely nothing to do with the young la
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
All through the drive, all I could think of was; What would the other staff say when they see Audrey and with a growing bump? Besides Lucas' secretary whom I was sure would keep the situation under lock, I wonder who else got wind of the news.I tried to focus on other things. Other things like exposing Audrey for whom she really was. I don't know if it was what comes with old age or his way of punishing Lucas for slipping up but Javier wasn't seeing Audrey for the sly she was and it bothered me."Samantha…"What does she want now?No response. I wasn't in the mood to talk to her and I was only doing what Javier asked, "I just want to get acquainted to the Java's working system," she rubbed her bulging stomach gently, "It would be nice if I get some experience to at least share with him when he comes of age and is ready to follow in the family's footsteps," she laughed.Lucas, where are you?I bit so hard at my lower lips until I felt the coppery taste of blood in my mouth. Don't cry.
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
After my visit to Valerie's place, I became more sensitive to Audrey's movements. Where she went to, what she did when we were out. So far, nothing out of the ordinary has happened."Lucas, wait up for me!" Valerie cried from the stairs. We were already running late and one of Audrey's dramas was something we didn't want so early in the morning.Lucas sighed sharply, "What the hell do you want this time?" He gritted.I hope it wasn't what I was thinking. She was dressed in a black velvet gown that stopped just on her ankles, court shoes and a blazer over the gown. It wasn't exactly my style but she looked good."I am coming to the office today," Audrey said.I was a bit taken aback, "Why?" We asked almost at the same time.She rolled her eyes in disgust, "Isn't it obvious?" She sighed, "I want to start working at the company," she looked at me with disdain, "Afterall she works there too,"There was no way in hell. The vein at the back of my neck pulsed hard, and I felt my heart bruise
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
Going to the office and coming back to the mansion to see Audrey with her fast growing bump wasn't something I looked forward to. I tried to square my shoulders and act like nothing's wrong when on the contrary, I was dying slowly.Audrey altered everything. The peace in the house, the scent and everything to suit her smell on the basis of being hyper sensitive to smell. Lucas ignored her and acted like she was some sorta ghost. But, I knew he looked forward to having his own child.It wasn't the birth of the child that irked me, it was the vessel bearing that child that made this unacceptable."Good morning Ma'am," Laura greeted when I got to work one morning.I nodded in response and made my way to the office. She followed in silence till we reached the door."Do I have any schedule that'll take me out of the office?" I asked when I slouched into the chair. She looked through her memo."Yes ma'am. A meeting with the investors slated to take place by three p.m and–"I waved my hands
When Storm Meets Hail AUDREY’S POV
I waited till the two lovebirds drove off to work before I started getting ready to go out. It was already past nine a.m exactly and I was a few minutes behind time. The prison visiting hours would be due in forty-five minutes.I'd been in touch with Andres since he was convicted of the crime. They'd all forgotten about him, I couldn't not after all we shared together. He wasn't the nicest person but he ignited the fire in me."Where are you off to?" Javier's voice sounded from the stairs when I opened the door. Lousy old man. I rolled my eyes and put on a calm expression before turning to face him.I flashed him a grin, "I'm going for antenatal," I lied. I could only hope he didn't request I go with the chauffeur because then I would be busted.He nodded, "Have a nice day," his voice was cold. I knew he didn't like me, he never did. Not when I was with Lucas, not when I was with Andres. I wondered why he didn't object to I and Andres' relationship when he got wind of it. Maybe he kne
When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
She looked at the door, maybe hoping for a sign of Lucas then back at me. "Look I didn't ask your husband to get pregnant–"I sensed her anxiety from a mile away. Now was the time to act, "On the contrary, I don't care for you," My gaze lingered on her and fell on her growing stomach. "You would stay here till you give birth,"Audrey leaned into the bed, "I don't intend on moving out after childbirth if that's where you're driving at," her voice was a little shaky but she did a good job hiding it."We'll see about that. After childbirth, you'd go for a DNA test to ascertain who the father of the child is,"Now she got started, her face squeezed into a frown. "What the hell are you saying?"I rolled my eyes. Audrey. Audrey. Audrey. Still as vain as ever, "Exactly what you heard. If you claim Lucas is the father of your child," I paused when the housekeeper walked into the room from the closet and waited till she left, "Then we need to confirm, afterall…" my voice trailed off when she s
