MANUEL’S POV Things didn’t seems to add up even still, I can say at least 90 percent of my confusion was solved but I still didn’t know who I slept with. I still kept thinking about what the woman said and I felt like we still needed to talk but I guess till fate makes us cross paths. I need to figure the remaining pieces myself. I called in Cris while I try to focus on the deal of the day, well it wasn’t easy but I have a business to run “Yes Alpha”, Cris said coming in. I narrated everything that the woman told me chipping in my own opinion and concerns. How Jonathan had kidnapped her husband and also involved Maeve in it.But now the issue is that who was the lady in the room that night?.I needed an answer. “Did you confirm that everything she was saying was nothing but the truth?”, Cris asked. “Yes, yes”“Everything about her spilled the truth”, I said to him . I think I need to get the CCTV footage at the lounge of that night. “Tell the driver to prepare the car,” I s
SAMANTHA'S POV5 years went by and I never saw the man I had slept with that night again. Even when I tried calling him to tell him the news, I was disconnected soon after. I found out in the news that he had begundating Maeve and that he was planning to make her his Luna. That had hurt me a lot more than I thought it did. I hadn't tried contacting my family since that day either. They had cut off all means ofcommunication to me."Mama!"I turned as Finn ran toward me holding a Lego toy in his hands."What is it, baby?"I cooed as I lifted him in my arms."Mummy, Rey broke my toy" he cried“I’m o sorry about that honey, I'll make sure that I get you a new one okay?"I promised him which comforted him.That was when Nora towards me frantically. “Mama what about me?”, she cried out. Unable to resist, I carried her up as well, placing her on my other lap. “Don’t worry baby. I'll get you yours as well."I promised."Uncle Rick!" we turned in the direction of the door where Rey was wrappe
MANUEL'S POVI watched as the beautiful brunette walked in looking around wistfully and in awe, I couldn't hide the smile that had appeared on my face. However, I had to be poised and collected throughout this interview. Somehow, I felt this sense that I had seen her before. But I wasn't able to recollect where I had seen her orwhen."Is something wrong?" I had asked when she gasped in surprise.She paused for a while, before recomposing herself."No sir.I’m sorry about my...outburst.I'm still excited about the interview" she said. "So why do you think you're a good fit for my company?"I asked the most basic question I had asked all day."I think I would be a good fit for your company because I am hardworking, I can endure copious amounts of pressure and not crack and for a company like yours, I believe it is an asset. I am diligent and hardworking and am good with organization and detailing, life taught me that...." she said with a sad smile "...I am also relatable, if you're wo
SAMANTHA'S POV"What the hell is your problem?! you're such a shitty driver!' Rick screamed at the passing car that had almost run us over."It's okay. Rick" I tried to calm him down."It is not okay. That reckless driver would have almost killed us had it not been for my lightning reflexes "he said annoyed.I couldn't hide the laughter that had slipped out of my mouth."What?" he turned to face me, staring back at me like I had a mental issue."It's all right. You just have to chill.We're okay" I told him.Letting out a deep breath, he calmed down.Turning to me now, he gripped my hand excitedly."So you were telling me about the interview before that driver rudely interrupted "I shook my head."I'll tell you everything. At home. Let's go home."I said softly. Pulling his arm in the direction of the car.The drive back was quiet. Rick was supportive without goading me for answers. He knew that I would eventually tell him when I was ready so he didn't force the conversation.Back hom
MANUEL'S POVI was looking forward to having a good day today only to be greeted by bickering as I walked past the hallway to my office.The door to my new personal assistant named Miss Samantha's office had been slightly ajar.I couldn't help but walk through to avoid any sort of danger only to find Samantha and Maeve in a very heated conversation.I frowned."Who had let Mave in?"I thought. I made a mental note to inform all my staff about her unannounced visits."What are you doing here?"I turned to Maeve."Baby, Your new employee here and I were just having a simple chat. "she chuckled stretching out a hand to pat Samantha's shoulder.I haven't known Samantha for that long but it was very evident that she was very uncomfortable. From the way she clasped and unclasped her fists at her sides, to the way her eyes pooled with tears threatening to fall. I knew that Maeve must have said something like she always does."Maeve, I need to talk to you, "I told her before walking out signali
SAMANTHA'S POVAs I calmed my nerves down, my mind recalled the last few minutes of thismorning.Did he remember something? was that why he asked me that question? Whatwas I going to do if he remembered?I had tried to see the extent of his memory but it seemed that that night had been completely erased from his mind. How the hell was that possible?It didn't make any sense.The rest of the day blurred by as I tried to forget everything about that night like I always did. I was still at my desk working to finish up the rest of the work I had to do. Sometime that day I called the nanny to babysit the kids for me because I knew the work I was doing was surely going torun late.I was interrupted by a knock on the door.It was a slow rasp then progressed into an impatient knock."Come in "I called out.In slipped, Olivia.The boss's assistant.My brow arched as I watched her tiptoe to get to me almost like she was a thief in the night I couldn't hide the smile that appeared on my lips.
MANUEL'S POVI couldn't stop. I couldn't control myself.I knew that the few bottles of alcohol I had had was still in my system but this was more than that. Samantha always had a way to pull this kind of reaction out of me.As I slid my hand higher taunting her, she let out a moan. I growled in response sinking my lips into her neck and nibbling. I couldn't get enough of her.She was like a drug.My hand found her entrance and she let out a soft moan as I ran a finger into her panties. Her response was to pull me closer into her, wrapping her arms around my neck. That gave me the strength to pull her deeper into me letting her feel how much I craved her. She threw her head back in ecstasy as I slipped one finger into her. I groaned as my blood boiled hotter. I trailed kisses down to her chest. Annoyed at the shirt that hindered me from enjoying the view of her beautiful bosom. There was a beautiful dark mark at the edge of herright breast but my mind waved that off as one of her a
SAMANTHA'S POVI had to get out of there as soon as possibleSo once I was safely outside, I walked briskly into the elevator and ran ever faster to my car.The drive back to the house was a blur. Ihad no way of articulating what had just happened at the office. I sped back through every street light breaking every traffic law that I could. It was only when I was leaning back on my door safely in the confines of my apartment that I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.Gripping my neck as if to cover up the shame of his bites and kisses on my neck, I slid down to my haunches and cried into my arms. I cried for all the lost years, for him not recognizing and remembering me."Was I that forgettable? Was I some random one-night stand he could chuck away or have his way with whenever he pleased? How did my life turn out this way? I wasn't supposed to be here. Out of all the companies that this country had, why had it been at his? Was the universe mocking me? How could I tell
