When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
"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

The drive to the mall took longer than I expected, especially because Samantha seemed lost in her own world of oblivion, with her face turned to the other side of the window– If we were going to live together for six months we might as well start getting used to it from… now."I think we'd go for Ines Di Santos collections, their wedding dresses last summer were terrific!" I said, trying to start a conversation with her."Uhuh," she grunted in response, I glanced at her, she didn't seem interested in saying anything.And for the rings, "I'm thinking Tiffany and co. But it's too basic, I mean… their last collection wasn't so enticing. Personally I prefer Harry Winston's, which do you think we should go for?" I questioned, as I stared at her from the corner of my eyes.She sat up straight and tugged at her hair, "Whatever you want… Mr Storm,"I was about to reply to her and didn't notice we were already in front of the mall,"We're here!" I said, sounding excited– Personally, I would ma

My eyes widened in shock by what I heard, I hung up and tossed my phone away, I quickly made a sharp turn which made Samantha lose her balance and hit her head on the window"Ouch…Lucas, what's wrong?" She questioned, looking at me with concern."My father is dying," I managed to say.She looked at me in shock, "I… don't understand what do you mean by dying, when was the last time you saw him?" she asked, holding tight to her seatbelt."I saw him yesterday and he looked well, at least it looked like he was well," I said, increasing the acceleration of the car. As I pressed hard on the accelerator which made Samantha scream at the top of her voice, "Lucas, you have to calm down!"I ignored her, how could I calm down when my father was dying? I needed to get to him as fast as I could. And if it means breaking through the road I would do it."Does he have any history of illness, prior to now?" She questioned, I took a quick glance at her, hands still firmly gripped to the seatbelt."Plea

I clenched my fist as I tried to suppress my anger, my father completely ignored me and was having a conversation with Samantha– was that a smile I saw on her face? The nerve!"Are you going to keep standing or you're still deciding whether to come join us… Aha! The chef is here," he raised his brows as he looked over me.The chef came in and served Samantha,"Enjoy your meal," the chef smiled at her and pushed back the trolley with varieties. I wanted to bring down the whole building but not in front of Samantha, I didn't want to cause a scene in front of her.She was about to take a bite of the beef Wellington, when I angrily walked over to her and gripped her by the hands."We're leaving this instant!" I said, pulling her up.My father looked at me. If he was surprised I couldn't tell, but he said, "Lucas, what do you think you're doing?" He questioned.I shook my head, he still hasn't seen any wrong in what he did! "Dad, we're leaving!" I said, trying hard not to raise my voice."

The day that would lead to the beginning of a charade had begun. The sun was aglow in all radiance as its rays seeped in through the curtain linen. I stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room staring at my reflection, adorned in a breathtaking wedding gown. The gown hugged my figure perfectly, accentuating my curves, and the intricate lace detailing added an elegant touch.I looked undeniably stunning, there was no denying that. But beneath the beauty and the excitement, a wave of sadness rushed through me. This marriage was nothing more than a contract… a charade that would last for a little while and it would. I crossed my fingers, "Samantha don't get so worked up, it's just for six months and you'll be free," I reminded myself, but the reality of it still weighed heavily on my heart.I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself. This was the path I had chosen, and I couldn't let emotions cloud my judgment, not now that we were about to take the act a step higher. Besides,

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
