Chapter 48: She is sitting with a man

After facing persistent denials from Margarita, Samson headed out to his pub. He needed to analyze the accounts and other stuff and thought it was a reasonable way to engage his mind away from her. He was figuring out about fixing things between Margarita and him for the entire ride. What went wrong that made her so mad at him? But little did he realize it was he who knew her and recognized her face, but that night she was drunk enough not to remember his features at all. It was a faded memory he remembers, and how could he expect her to know the details?She would not trust him when all she saw was a chaotic person, a monster in him. Should he give up? No, he should make more effort to get her back, or yes, there was no way he was ready to handle another woman in his life, but he felt himself when she was with him.It was a challenging determination to find his way out. For now, he let go of her and resisted the urge to get her back into his life. He called Antonio, who returned to t

Chapter 49: Jealousy

“Hello, doc,”Margarita turned to look at the source standing behind her in the dim lights. She rumpled her eyes to get a clear view of the silhouette calling her name, as he knew her well. Could it be Mateo? But he never called her doctor. She stood there waiting for him to reveal his face.“Hello doc, how are you?” He extended his hand like a perfect gentleman.“Antonio,” Margarita’s lips twirled up naturally, seeing a familiar face.“What a pleasant surprise? What are you doing here?” He questioned.She smiled, “Well, I thought to take a break from my boring life and refresh my mind with some music and drinks.”“That’s good to know. You chose the best of the place, I guess.” Antonio added confidently.“How do you know? Do you frequently visit here with your friends?”Antonio laughed and shook his head.“This is our pub.”A surprise claimed her face. “You own this place?”“Yes, Samson and I.” She looked around; Mateo was still chatting with Shanaya, ready to win his bet.“That says

Chapter 50: I am not perfect

Samson settled in front of his wheels, watching the crowds leaving and entering the pub. Life goes on, but something inside him has stopped. It still revivified the morning scene in his mind, the way she came to ask him questions and the words she spoke when she was lost in her world. He shifted back and sighed.What is happening to him? Why is he eager to follow her? Isn’t there a time when he didn’t like her and wanted those seven days to be over, and today he tried to chase the same woman? What changes in between? Why does it feel like they both had the same pain? The song that made him cry would be the same lyrics she would hum for herself.He clutched his head and pulled his hair back to his head, unable to decide whether to follow her or return to the pub.The impasse was eating him alive. One of his parts wanted to follow her, confront her. But another one slid back and warned him not to follow his foolish heart, which, once again, wanted to seek happiness.He came out, closed

Chapter 52: Who is Samson?

“Who is Samson?” Mateo questioned without sifting through his memory.Margarita gave him a blank look, thinking he caught her red-handed, but she remembered he mentioned him in their earlier conversation. Her stiff expression loosened a bit when she answered him back while opening the door.“I told you about him. He was my patient. Remember?”“He used to send messages in the middle of the night?”Mateo blurted, without giving it a second thought. “He is an insomniac, and I told him to talk to someone he trusts.”Margarita added in a low tone, accepting in the back of her mind Samson came asking for help, and she denied it.“He is just a patient.” Her tone was more persuasive to Mateo, but it was more like she was ensuring herself about her decision. Mateo absorbed every word she was presenting to him.“Besides, my sessions were over with him.” She walked inside, followed by Mateo.“Okay,” He cleared his throat.They went inside and changed their clothes, settled on the patio. The weat

Chapter 52: Laila's call

The morning knocked from the sheer curtains of her apartment and gently caressed her cheeks. Margarita woke up and went out to see Mateo standing on the patio, looking at the blank road, lost in his thoughts. She was about to wish him good morning when her eyes landed on his phone, displaying Laila’s missed calls.Laila called him five times and dropped several messages, but he didn’t check his phone. Is he ignoring her?“Good morning,” Margarita smiled.“Good morning,” Mateo summoned a smile.“Something bothering you?”He shook his head with no clue; Margarita had already seen the phone screen. “You expect me to forgive myself, and did you forgive her?”Mateo didn’t bother to look at her, “Who, Margi?”Margarita lifted his phone and showed him.“Why are you ignoring her?” He rolled his eyes and tried to get his phone when the phone buzzed again.Margarita picked up the call and said hello to Laila. It’s been years since Margarita didn’t talk to her. Mateo makes sure nobody knows her

Chapter 54: You are taking a risk, doc

Panic switches off her highest mind. Her hands automatically acted, and her foot pressed the gas at its loftiest. “Samson,” she looked at him.She pulled her scarf from her neck and pressed his wound.“Hold it tight.” She couldn’t be more thankful to her brother for this lifetime. She could never expect her old car would sustain this long. Just when she thanked her brother sincerely, a black truck approached next, sliding its window and pointing a gun toward her.The peer exchanged between them, and she could hear her heart thudding in her mouth. She tried to press the gas, but the traffic ahead on the highway didn’t give her the window to cross this one.“Samson,” she whispered in dread, and the next moment the man shot, pointing at her. But the bullet never reached her head. It bounced back from the tinted window itself.“Fuck, it’s bulletproof glass.” Her hands were shivering, and her eyes flickered, witnessing her death close enough. She could only read those frustrated lips abusi

Once Azra and the doctor left, she stood at the closing door, resting her head against it to quiet herself. She never expected this to happen. She was happy these last two days, and now she is afraid of everything heading her way. Someone knocked again when she was about to leave the thinking spot.Her senses heightened but relaxed at the exact moment when she saw Azra on the other side of the door. She opened the door immediately. “Did you forget something?”He hesitated for a second. “Can I request you something?”“Sure,”He stuffed his right hand into his jacket pocket and took out a leather holster. “Keep it. It’s for you.”“But..”“Please, I respect your choice and hope you do mine.”“We both know being a Costello comes with a price, and I want to ensure you are safe with the man lying inside.”She knew Samson was not a regular guy. The more she wanted to escape this crime world, the more it trapped her.She took it and glanced at the piece inside, and a smile sprinkled on her fa

Chapter 56: Sponge Bath

Margarita went out to the nearest store in the chilly weather. The breeze was enough to warn her to finish whatever she had in mind, return home, and snuggle herself into a thick blanket. She could not use her car for the time being. She picked up some clothes and other necessary items and returned in time.Hastily she tried to get into her apartment before anyone saw her, but there Lorenzo caught her.“Hey, Margarita,”“How are you?”“I am good.” Margarita stood at the ajar door, not letting him take another peek at what was happening in her home.“You found someone?” Lorenzo wiggled his brows.“Someone?”“I saw you two last night.” It reminded her how Samson hid his face while kissing her neck.“Yeah, yeah,” she answered, trying her best to get rid of him.“Who is he?”She hesitated to answer, “A friend,”“A friend? Or a boyfriend?”“Both,” she bit her tongue, holding the paper bags.“Do you need help?”“Oh, no, no. I can handle this.” She was stuttering and regretted for not wearin

Chapter 57: You are a heartless man

She came to the kitchen smiling, thinking about these random thoughts and situations bubbling between them. A sense of happiness throbbed to see him alive and talking. The fear of getting another death assigned to her name was gone.She prepared the breakfast and arranged the table for the two of them. She knocked on the door and peeked inside.“Mr. Ruffino... sorry, Samson, breakfast is ready.”He took time to get up and walked, holding his injury.She placed two hot pancakes, scrambled eggs, and a cup of hot coffee. “Are you comfortable here?” She questioned, sitting next to him. After such a long period, she had a reason to smile and enjoy her food with her not-so-favorite company. But she liked him. His strange way appealed to her; it never did.“I am, thank you.”“How are you feeling? I mean, after yesterday’s incident.”“Punished.” He replied with a thin smile.She arched a brow, “Punished? Why?”“I think one of their wives or sister was in love with me, and I broke their heart.
