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

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

The sound of my phone beep jolted me out of my reverie and I stared at the screen. It was a text from Lucas. He was going to be at the restaurant in ten minutes. I readjusted my blouse quickly and removed the band from my hair, allowing it fall freely across my shoulders. I was not at all concerned about my looks. It was not like how I looked mattered to him anyways. All we needed to do was get to a mutual agreement. I stared at the table across. Two men on leather jackets were having an intense conversation over a barely touched bottle of whiskey. I quickly averted my gaze before either of them could catch me staring and my mind drifted away to more important things – like why Lucas had chosen such an exquisite location for our meeting. I wondered how much he had paid for the reservation at the Water Gardens and I hoped that he came sooner because time was ticking away and money was counting. The Water Gardens was the most exquisite park in the whole of New Jersey and if the thirty

“Damn Audrey!”That was the only thing in my mind as I opened the paper that contained our contract agreement. She always chose the wrong time to tell the world that we were dating. I could feel my hands begin to vibrate and I sighed. Once again, I had forgotten to take my medication.I dropped the paper on the table before us and looked up to make sure that she was listening. Her deep blue eyes were still fixed on me and I smiled. She was very attentive. My father would love that.“Sleeping arrangements first,” I announced. “My sleep is very important to me.”She smiled and I continued immediately.“On regular nights, you would sleep in my room and I would sleep in the living room,” I said. “On not so regular nights, we could share the bed.”“Not so regular nights?” she asked, her eyebrows arched at me.“Would get to that later,” I frowned.I wondered if she was surprised, surprised that the son of one of the richest men in America couldn’t afford a house with two rooms. She didn’t s

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, not even daring to stop for as much as a second until I got to my house. I opened the door and slumped on the chair immediately. My heart was beating in my chest and I struggled to calm my breathing down. The image of the two men begging for their lives before he had silenced them were still very fresh in my memory and the very fact that he even had a gun on him all the while made me shudder. Who was Lucas Storm? Why did he keep a gun with him? Who were the men that had attempted to kill him? Why did they make such a daring attempt at a public place? Tons of questions flooded through my mind and I knew that no matter what, I wouldn’t be able to answer as much as a single one of them. I did a quick sign of the cross and thanked mother Mary for giving me the courage to run away from him. He was too dangerous for me. I heard the sound of a phone ring from a distance and I turned around quickly, searching for my own phone. It was not in the

"I don't want to see him again," I said to Valerie. "If I want to stay alive, I need to stay as far away from him as possible."Valerie looked at me with concern. "Do you think he's dangerous?""I don't know," I replied. "But I can't take that chance. The worst could happen if I meet up with him again."Valerie nodded, understanding the fear in my voice. "I agree, we need to be cautious. Maybe we should go to the police and report what happened."I shook my head. "No, I don't want to involve the police. I just want to forget this ever happened and move on with my life.""But what if he really is a bad guy?" Valerie asked."I know what I saw," I said firmly. "He might have claimed self-defense, but I don't believe it. I think he's a bad guy and I don't want to be associated with him in any way."Valerie placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll figure this out. I'm here for you, Samantha. We'll get through this together."I knew I could count on Valerie to support me

I didn't expect such rude behavior from my secretary and to my guest! The audacity!! I thought to myself."What's going on here?" I asked in a cold tone, addressing my secretary. He looked up and stammered, clearly caught off guard."I...I was just joking with her, boss," he said weakly, as if that could excuse his behavior.I could feel my blood boiling at his words. "Joking? Is that what you call it?" I said, my temper rising. "You spoke to my guest in such an unprofessional manner, and you think that's a joke? You should be ashamed of yourself."My secretary was taken aback by my outburst, but I wasn't finished yet. "I didn't hire you to harass my guests," I continued, my tone still cold. "I hired you to work for me in running this company, and if you can't do that without being disrespectful, then I suggest you find employment elsewhere."As I confronted my secretary on his unprofessional behavior towards Samantha, I couldn't believe my ears when she spoke up in her defense, "He

"What the hell are you doing here, Andres?" I demanded, my voice tinged with anger. After everything that had happened, Andres had the audacity to come in and stir up trouble, the nerves to show up in my presence.Andres smirked. "Last time I checked this establishment was owned by my father, I don't see anything wrong with being in my father's company," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm, and worse, how he emphasized on "my father"... Son of a bitch!I gritted my teeth. "Cut the crap, Andres. You know damn well why I fired the secretary.""Enlighten me, then," Andres said, crossing his arms over his chest.I took a deep breath, trying to keep my anger in check. "The secretary embarrassed Samantha, insulted me, and then didn't even mean the apology he made to her. That's why I fired him."Andres raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I see. So you fired him because he embarrassed your little girlfriend and insulted your delicate ego? How very noble of you, Lucas."I felt my anger rising again.

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
