Samantha was left alone in their humble home. It was not too big or too small. It was the alright with the two of them living together. It had a few rooms and an attic where her stash of books. Her room was with simple blue with a small veranda where the sun set could be seen. She was inside the shower. Her mind was in miles away as she soaked herself under the shower. Her mind railed with the panicked and troubled face of David and the woman who admitted her feelings for David.
She fixed herself up after showering. She could not understand herself. It felt a deep hole was cut through her. Without notice, she shed tears. She held to the counter for support as her heart wailed in pain.
Jacob was really upset and sad when he entered into her mother's room. It was pitch black but he knew her mother was still awake and was weeping. He came to her and hugged her. He did not say anything. He just hugged her.
When Samantha finally slept. Jacob left the house. He went straight to the hotel where a young lady was standing by at the window. "Who are you?" she asked when she saw Jacob.
"Miss Matthew, you don't need to know who am I" he walked to her with strong aura.
"You keep this in mind, you anger me" he caressed her before kissing her intimately. "what's wrong? you manage to slip into my mother's fiance, why not do the same to me" he said sarcastically through her ears.
"Your highness, here is the files you have ask for" A man in an uptight suite entered the room with back straight. He entered the room with grace and poise. The man on the other end of the table was busy reading the contract given to him. He placed it down and relaxed to his comfy chair. "Its all here?" he was asking with patience. His tone was powerful. His glare was ferocious. The man who was standing, nodded and replied, "Yes, your highness" with straight face. He showed nothing emotions at this powerful man. His highness signalled him to go out before grabbing the files and read it peacefully.
Samantha came out of the house when she noticed Jacob wasn't in. She grabbed her phone along the way as she continued to call him. It was a cold day outside early in the morning. She looked around the streets as the view was seen along the balcony.
"Jacob, where are you?" the call finally came through. She could hear a sleepy kid. "I'm in the office mom. I fell asleep while reviewing the papers" Samantha's anxiety had subside. She gave a deep relief of breath. "oh.. I will bring you fresh clothes and warm breakfast then" she said as she relaxed. She was about to enter her house when someone grabbed her hand. She was pulled to the person's chest. The faint smell was familiar. She did not expect who it was that she was frozen between his arms.
"I miss you" he said through her ears. Those words sent her chills that she could not comprehend. "how did you find me?" she unconsciously asked. "I miss you so much" he said again without answering her question. He held her tight as he kept saying he missed her.
"Charles, let me go" she said as a warning.
"Come back to me please" he said. Samantha felt disgust upon hearing such words. She could not help herself remember the time she saw his back when he decided to go to Clara. She pushed him away and showed to him that she was angry.
"Are you crazy Charles? I'm getting married..." she emphasized to him. She want to let himself sink in those words. She moved on and she wanted to have happy ending like those other people with their husbands.
"I doubt it" Charles interrupted. He held her arms tight that it could bruise her. His eyes stared at her. It was trying to swallow her if she would say anything more. Sam got goosebumps that was rilling under her skin. She pulled her thoughts away and gathered enough courage.
She pushed him away. "What do you mean?" she sensed something was wrong. She saw Charles demeanor changed. She was not certain what it was. She could only look closely and trying to decipher what was in front of her.
"Do not marry him if you don't want me to do something..." he said with cold eyes.
"You disappear for 15years. I think that is enough for my wait and for your forgiveness, right?" he said as he stepped closer. Every step he made, Sam stepped back until she ended at the door at her back. "I dont care if you have someone between those years, but you are mine" he said as he cornered her. He kissed her lips intimately. Sam struggled and gave a heavy slap.
Both were silent, and Sam could still feel the pain of her palms to her right hand. She glared at him as if she wanted to kill him. She did not like what was in front of her. She struggled enough and she could not believe such shameless man would threaten her. Her anger rose. "Despicable" a lot of hate when she told him. She shove him back and swiftly went inside the house.
