Semua Bab When Storm Meets Hail : Bab 101 - Bab 110

The whole thing made sense to me. Why Andres wanted me out of the way, I walked to the bench in wobbly steps as Lucas wrapped his hands around me. Cold trepidation clung to my edges.I took a deep breath, "Lucas, I know why…"He caressed my hair gently, "Pumpkin take it easy. Take all the–""I'm ready to speak now," I cut in.Lucas stared at me intently, a visible line of anger formed a faint crease on his forehead, "Go ahead," he said calmly but enough to depict the one emotion that stood out in those words– vengeance.***Flashback***"Get out of the road!" I shrieked as I tried to swerve through the road to avert the accident that would have occured.I quickly got down from the car after I'd managed to bring the car to a sharp halt and started making my way to the old man who was visibly shaken by the near death experience he'd just faced.I was on a call with Valerie but focused enough to see him in time to step on the brake. A small scene already gathered around us, good thing I w

Lucas stood up and walked some feet away from him. Mere looking at him, it was obvious he was struggling to keep his emotions in check, "Lucas I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything, even though you didn't go through it the right way I should have known you wouldn't hurt me,"He shook his head, "It's my fault Pumpkin, I shouldn't have let you go in the first place. When I bumped into Andres on that call my thoughts were scattered all over the place and the only thing I could think of was…" he paused, turned his back at me and said in a low tone, "The only thing I could think of was to get you to safety," his voice seeped with agitation. Dear Lord help Andres.I stood up and covered the distance between us. I rested one of my hands on his shoulders, "I understand perfectly. It wasn't the nicest thing to do at that point but it was the best,"He spun around and our eyes locked, "Pumpkin, I need to get to the man. It would give me enough evidence against Andres. If we want him to face the c

Samantha was one person that no matter how much I tried to, I didn't think I was going to know her well enough. Maybe, if I was always ready for any version she shows it wouldn't come as a surprise.I already mapped out one hundred ways that'll make Andres' beg for that and what did Samantha do? Made me promise her that I wouldn't get to peel his skin for even thinking of hurting her in the first place.And now I just got off a distressed call from my father, migraine gathered around my temple. That mother fucker! If anything happens to Javier then I might be moved to the point where I'll break promises.We drove to the hospital. Prior to that, I already arranged Valerie to be moved to the VIP section. "My men have mounted surveillance around the hospital, you'll be fine," I said."Promise me you'll be fine Mr Lucas," Samantha's voice was shaky with trepidation.I forced a faint smile across my lips, "I promise," I pressed my lips against her forehead, "I'll be back before you know i

The next days that followed the court hearing were full of media rounds like I was some sorta celebrity– being a Hernandez was enough baggage to cope with.I still had to win back Samantha. She was still upset over my actions, even though she tried to keep it civil in the public view I could see through her distress.Samantha stayed with Valerie in the hospital and wouldn't budge to leave her best friend which was quite understandable given the incident that almost took her life. I stopped by the hospital to check up on Valerie but more importantly asked Samantha back to the office, she'd stopped coming to the office and for the most part I didn't want to be the reason– even though I knew I was."Hey it's Lucas," Valerie's face lit up when she saw me. Samantha shifted uncomfortably on the couch."You came," she said quietly. We held gazes for a while before she looked away. I nodded, "Yes, I decided to come check on Valerie, given the fact that my…" I didn't want to complete the state

Yes, there was a loophole between me and Samantha. One we needed to fix if things must return to normal, not like I blamed her for her actions, as long as it was Samantha, she was right.I didn't want to push it too far. If she needed space as much as I hated not being in her corner, I'd give her as much space as she wanted. I walked out of the house. I didn't look back but I could feel her eyes drilling holes behind neck.My goodness! Just a few weeks back we were all loved up and navigating through our real-life marital status. And now, I was on the verge of losing her. I'd rather walk into an erupting volcano than watch Samantha walk away.'Give me time' her words slammed into my memory like heavy bricks. The more I thought of this, the more I hated that mother fucker Andres– good a thing he wasn't my blood. I'd never forgive him for putting Samantha through this.I got into the car and drove off. The house was not a place I could cool off. Technically, anywhere that had even a sli
