SAMANTHA’S POV

I hesitated for a moment when I saw Lucas's name on my phone screen. Part of me wanted to let it ring, to let the call go to voicemail and avoid whatever conversation was to come. But another part of me, the part that had been missing him since the last time we spoke, urged me to answer.

Finally, I gave in and answered the call, trying to sound casual even though my heart was racing. "Hello, Lucas.". I watched with hidden amusement as Valerie quickly dropped the plate on the sink and rushed to the living room. She stood beside me curiousity sputtered on her face, she mimed "I'm sorry," and I rolled my eyes at her… Valerie was a handful.

"Samantha, how are you?" His voice came through the phone, smooth and unbothered… heck he was supposed to call me, I'm not his wife I know but he would present me to the public and most importantly his father, courtesy demand he called at least!

"You're going overboard with this Samantha," I thought to myself.

"I'm good, thanks. How about you?"s

    "Damn," Samantha groaned as I took a sharp turn and swerved to the other side of the road, I couldn't afford to ruin her first meeting with Father. I drove at high speed and in no time, I pulled up in front of the high fashion store. I noticed the amazed look on Samantha's face but time was running out and he hated to wait.I knew she was wondering what was happening and why we were there because her face was etched in surprise. I got out of the car and opened the door for her."Come on, we're going shopping," I said with a smile.As soon as we got into the reception, the manager came to welcome us."Good evening, Mr. Hernandez. It's a pleasure to have you in our store today. How may we be of assistance?" the manager said, bowing slightly."Good evening, John. I need a dress for my date tonight," I replied, gesturing towards Samantha.The manager nodded as he beckoned to a man who looked like he was in his mid forties, "He's one of the senior staff, and he'll help you with whatever yo

    Samantha and I looked at each other and let out a fake cough.He chuckled,"You youngies don't need to shy away from things like this, what's the point of waiting?" He asked, as he took a sip of his wine.Samantha let out a fake cough, and I quickly followed suit. "Oh, sorry about that Dad, we've just been dealing with allergies lately," I said, trying to divert attention away from Samantha's discomfort.Father said with a wave of hand. "No need to apologize, my boy. I just love the idea of you two giving me some beautiful grandchildren. Imagine how good-looking they would be!"Samantha looked at me with a knowing expression, and I couldn't help but smirk at her. She was clearly uneasy with the topic, but I could tell she was trying her best to hide it from my father."Yeah, Dad, that would be something, wouldn't it?" I said, playing along with the fantasy. "I mean, just think of how great it would be to see little versions of us running around."Samantha let out a small laugh, but I c

    I watched helplessly as Lucas drove off, leaving me alone on a lonely highway. I couldn't believe it. I was so angry and stranded at the same time. How could he just drop me off like that? I tried to order a taxi back to my house, but the app kept showing "no cars available."I sighed, "Just great," I was beginning to get frustrated, and I could feel the heat rising from within me. I took a deep breath, in a bid to calm myself down."What is wrong with this stupid app? Why isn't it working, today of all days" I muttered to myself as I tried to order a taxi for the umpteenth time. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, a taxi arrived. As I got in, I was relieved to be leaving the lonely highway behind."Who does he think he is? Treating me like some object that he can just dump wherever he likes," I soliloquized to myself. I couldn't believe that I agreed to this contract marriage. I did it for the money, but Lucas was making it so dif

    I took a deep breath as I stormed out of the lounge. I couldn't explain how I felt. After I saw Lucas and Audrey having a great time together, anger seemed to get a better part of me. Just as I was about to step out of the club, Andres followed me."Are you okay, Samantha?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.I turned to face him, forcing a smile on my face. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just needed some fresh air," I lied.Andres looked at me skeptically. "Are you sure? You looked a bit...jealous back there."I clenched my fist at his words, not wanting to give him any indication of how I truly felt. "Jealous, of what exactly?... Pfft" I said, trying to sound convincing. "It's just the tension in there, you know?"Andres nodded, seeming to believe my excuse. "Yeah, I get it. It can be overwhelming sometimes," he said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "But don't worry, let's just have fun tonight."I sighed,"I agree with you totally Andres, but I've kinda lost my groove for tonight, I really thi

    "Hey Samantha," Lucas said with a smile. I rolled my eyes in disgust, "Feeling any better?" He questioned, leaning close he reeked of alcohol as much as I did."What in heaven's name are you doing here Lucas?" I huffed.He laughed and teased me, "I'm just trying to make sure you don't fall and hurt yourself. You look like you can't handle so much liquor,""Last time I checked, I don't remember asking you to look out for me, now if you would excuse me…" I tried to push him out of the way but he held me down, I was too tipsy to make much progress."Ouch, that hurts and to think I just wanted to help a friend," he smirked.I raised my voice slightly, "I am not your friend… and I would prefer you don't help me, I do not need it," Lucas scoffed, he seemed determined not to let me through and I was not having any of this… not this night, "Well… maybe you're not but then let's think of it this way, I can't afford to have you hurt or anything…at least not now that my father seem to take a s

    I could easily distinguish Audrey's voice in the middle of a noisy crowd, as she came closer with each approaching step, I couldn't think of anything else to do, without thinking it through, I leaned into Samantha and kissed her."Stupid bitch!" Audrey muttered loud enough for me to hear as she stomped angrily towards us."Your woman is here," Samantha whispered, anxiety laced in her voice.I held Samantha down and whispered to her, "Just play along, Audrey can't find out about our plan."As Audrey came closer, she tried to pull Samantha by the hair but I was quick enough to hold her back, "Leave me alone you bastard!" She yelled as she struggled to break free from my grip.She turned to face Samantha,and snarled "And you, are you trying to steal my man from me?"Samantha straightened her sleeves, "I-I…I'm sorry it is not what you think," she stuttered."Oh cut me some slack," Audrey said, as she glared at Samantha, with so much hate in her."Audrey it's not what you–,"Audrey turned

    "Ugghhh" I groaned in pains as I slowly opened my eyes. My head was pounding so hard, and my mouth was so dry. I felt like I was hit by a truck. I tried to sit up, but the dizziness almost made me pass out. I must have had too much to drink last night. I could't even remember how I got home.Valerie came out of the kitchen, cleaning her hands with a napkin, "Hey, girl, are you okay?" she asked.I shook my head slowly, "No, my head is killing me," I said, wincing in pain."Well I'm not surprised, you were totally knocked out… lightweight, hold on a sec" Valerie teased but I was in too much pain to react.Valerie went to the kitchen and came back with an ice pack and some painkillers. "Here, take this," she said, handing me the pills and the ice pack.I took the pills and put the ice pack on my head. "Thanks, Val," I said.Valerie went to the kitchen again and came back with a glass of warm lime water. "Drink this, it will help with the hangover," she said."Thanks Val," I said, I took

    Since the incident at the club, I tried so hard to reach Audrey, but she blocked me on every side, my messages were ignored and my call transferred to voicemail– that was it! I decided to go and talk things through with her in person, as I pulled up in Audrey's garage, I took a deep breath and rehearsed in my head what I would say to her.I pressed the doorbell and waited for what felt like forever before Audrey finally opened the door. "Hey…". She tried to slam the door shut, but I held it down. I wasn't about to take No for an answer."Audrey, please. Can we talk?" I said, holding the door down so she couldn't close it."What could you possibly want to talk to me about after what you did at the club the other day, it does change the fact that you embarrassed me in the presence of the other guest!" she spat out, clearly still angry with me."That's why I'm here, I tried reaching you, I even had your favorite flowers sent over but you rejected them, I'm sorry for causing a scene at th

  • 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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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
