When Storm Meets Hail SAMANTHA’S POV
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Lucas footsteps heading towards the door. I rubbed my eyes and yawned lazily. I didn't even remember when I drifted off to sleep."Good morning pumpkin," Lucas greeted.I blew him a kiss, "How was your night?" He questioned."It was amazing?" I turned to look at the alarm clock. It was barely eight in the morning."Why are you leaving so early?" I asked, still feeling sleepy.He walked up to me and kissed me on my forehead, "We have new investors coming in from Mexico today," he ran his fingers along the nape of my neck, "This would be one of our biggest hit in this quarter,"I slipped out of the comforter and wore my robe, "Oh that's good to hear, I wish you well,""Thank you pumpkin," he stood up and slid his hands around my waist, "We have a reservation at two pm, today. Get ready,"I moved back slightly, "Reservation? Where?"Lucas arched his eyebrows at me, "It's a surprise," he kissed me on the lips and a little all over my face before

I managed to get a hold of myself and gently pulled out of the secretary's grip."What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to mask the tension brewing inside of me.Audrey let out a mocking laughter, "What am I doing here?" She smirked, brought out a piece of paper and flung it at me, "Last I checked you are highly intelligent. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for you to understand,"I crouched and picked up the paper that fell to the ground. Oh my goodness! My vision turned blurry as I read through the content of the paper.It was stated in the paper that Audrey was pregnant. She's Andres' date remember? A little voice in my head that held on to hope suggested."Andres isn't here. You know where to find it," I said in defiance.Audrey laughed again, this time louder than before, "And who said Andres was responsible?"I'd never been unconscious all my life. But at this point, when she said those words, I lost every sense of reasoning and went totally numb.And who said Andres was respons

I cursed myself for getting into this in the first place. It was all my fault, if I had stayed back that night instead of downing myself in shots of scotch whiskey, Audrey wouldn't have been here. Now, I stood a greater chance of losing Samantha– again.When will all of these end? "Lucas you don't need to bother with Samantha, after all she's a grown woman she'll do–" she placed her hands on my shoulders."Get your filthy hands off me," I was losing my cool as much as I tried to keep it in check.She gasped and laughed, "You and I know there's no denying that you own this pregnancy," she inched towards me and leaned in so close I could breath in her perfume that smelled of fresh vanilla."That child is not mine," I drawled, reminding myself of the numerous reasons why I don't lay my hands on women. Audrey was pushing me to the wall so bad and I was struggling to keep my head in place.She ran her fingers over my chin, "Baby, we could just continue from where we–"I held her hands firm

I couldn't bring myself to stop crying or even thinking about the whole incident with Audrey. Valerie tried as much as she would but perhaps her best wasn't enough to dry the tears from my eyes."How about you go to the mansion and talk things out with Lucas?" Valerie had suggested one day.I'd my head and dismissed her suggestion. What's the point? What's the point when everything were based on deception and lies? I should have known Lucas would never get over Audrey.Maybe I was the other woman. The woman who shouldn't be there but forced herself on Lucas irrespective. Despite all of this, I didn't love him less than I did when all of these hadn't happened.I tried to get my mind off everything and concentrate solely on helping Valerie come up with the best marketing structure for her company. It wasn't enough to make me forget about Lucas but at least my head was full of ideas other than sulking and dying slowly."What do you think about this?" I showed Valerie some of the samples

Ever since Audrey broke the news of being pregnant and I responsible, I've been nothing but miserable heck! a mess for lack of better words.Yes I went to the casino, I bumped into her and shoved her aside. I stood up and headed towards the exit till I almost stumbled on the waiter and then and then she helped me and everything went blank. I couldn't remember what happened after that.I found myself drifting off during board meetings and I could hardly keep up with the hectic schedule that came with this office, whilst trying to navigate what my life had become. She'd asked me out of her house that was mild compared to what I'd expected her to do.Samantha was a walking angel, as much as she would stand her fight if it was too much for her to handle, now I feel like she wasn't fighting hard enough.I was way strong to hold my own liquor and didn't get tipsy that easily. Then, how on earth did I get into bed with Audrey? The incessant question bugged at me.I sighed and rubbed the brid

I'd have asked her out of the house. I had every right to do that, she was the other woman. The one bent on making Lucas' life miserable and stubbornly holding on to him. She didn't want to claim him and she definitely didn't want him to live his life that much I was sure of.My heart bruised against the rib cage when I saw the video of her and Lucas kissing in the club. Maybe she was right afterall, because after the scene she led him out of the main room to a secluded part the video didn't capture.One thing was peculiar to me, Lucas' demeanor. He didn't look like he was in the right frame of mind when Audrey led him into wherever– I tried not to make a mental image. From what I watched, Lucas staggered a little, but as someone who efficiently handled his own liquor, the shortcoming was obvious. Something was definitely wrong.Was I mistaken? Perhaps exaggerating my position in Lucas' life? Maybe I was the second woman and Audrey was always meant to be with him. Lucas' expression wh

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

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
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
