Samantha's POVI can't move. I can't even lift a single finger. After I heard that gunshot, a deafening silence followed. Tears continued cascading down my cheeks as I covered my ears, afraid of another gunshot. Did he… did he really kill himself? No! He must pay for his sins. He can't escape just like this. He can't!"SAMANTHA!"I jumped in shock as a series of bang on the door followed that familiar voice. That voice! Jacob! Am I dreaming? Is he really here?"Samantha, baby, are you in there?"I looked at the door and slowly crawled backwards. The door swung opened, revealing Jacob, whose eyes are dead worried. His sharp eyes immediately softened after he saw me."Jacob!" I cried his name as his warm embraced enveloped me. He hugged me tight. So, so tight and warm."I'm sorry… I'm sorry for coming late, baby. I'm so sorry…" he whispered while kissing my hair.My trembling hands reached his back and I hugged him tight. I cried in his chest. "You came! You saved me, Jacob!""Shhh! Hu
Jacob's POVMy hands are sweating. I can feel my heart racing. Today, standing along some friends, I was trying to calm myself down. I'm sweating bullets, and I can't help but to feel nervous.Our love has been tested for so many times. Samantha was my first love. I was a coward, so I didn't have the chance to confess to her, now that we meet again after I insisted this to our fate, I won't let anything get in between us and ruin us.I loved Samantha even before, and I've waited long enough. I did all my best to reach this far, and I did this because I love her so much. Even after so many years, I'm still so in love with her. So damn in love."Couz, calm down," Theo said, laughing.I turned to him and frowned. He's so annoying.After a few minutes, we were informed that the bride is coming. My heartbeat tripled. Three years ago, I found courage to enter her life. I was scared because I know she'll ignore me since she found a loving husband, but intervening in her life turned out to be
Chapter 1Samantha “SWEETHEART, you cannot run away from me for I own you from to toe, and you accepted me wholeheartedly. You vowed to share everything you have, so as your naked soul and wealth. You shall not defy the rules of marriage because you will face the wrath of the monster you waken.” he whispered in my ear as he pressed his calloused fingers against my jaw, holding me in place, caging me just like a prisoner. I glared at him as I tried to struggle from his awful grip. His eyes wandered all over my face as he grinned and started licking my cheek. He pushed me against the wall and started kissing my exposed collarbone. I tried to push him away, but he firmly held me in place and pressed his palm against my stomach, making me flinched. “This stomach will bear my seed, sweetheart. I will plant my seed inside you every night, so I can enjoy my life as your husband.” he whispered again, and captured my lips. I pushed him away, and moved my fa
Chapter 2Samantha TWO WEEKS LATER… I STOOD proudly in front of the board as I felt my husband's hand caressing my waist. The evilness in him that I just discovered after our marriage has worsened. Now, he wants my company, and he’s using my ill younger brother to control me. I regret accepting his proposal, I regret meeting him, I regret falling in love with him, damn, I regret everything. I should’ve known better. If only I am strong and not stupid enough to fall for his faked love. “Today, I called all of you for an important matter,” I started as I felt his hand going down to my hand. He intertwined our fingers and kissed my temple. I squeezed my eyes closed as he whispered in my ear. “I’ll tell them for you, sweetheart.” I looked at him with pleading eyes, but he just smiled and faced the people in front of us. “Effective today, I will be handling the company. I am the new director of the company.”I balled my fist und
Chapter 3Samantha I'm staring at myself in front of the mirror. There was no mark or sign that I am miserable in my marriage life. There was no mark or bruise in my body that could be use against my evil husband. I sighed and put back my robe, the same time Dylan entered the room. He sat on the ottoman and stared at my face. I turned around to face him. I bore my eyes to him who keeps on staring at me for unknown reason. He gestured me to come. “Come here, sweetheart.” I did not move. My heart is pounding so hard while staring back at him. His stare is sending thrills down to my spine, but I couldn't look away, I can't take my stare off him as he looked so handsome with his business suit. If he just sat back and behave like that, no one will ever think that he's hiding a monster inside him. I regret meeting him. If I could turn back the time, I will definitely do it and avoid the part where I met him. His forehead creased. “Come he
Chapter 4Samantha I SLOWLY wore my clothes and hugged my body. Dylan stood before me while buckling his belt. While still half naked, he lifted my chin and hungrily kissed my lips. He licked and bit it before releasing me. He grinned at me and rolled his tongue over his lips, licking my saliva on it. “You're still sweet as f*ck. Glad you married me.” I looked away. I can still feel the disgust, but I'm trying my best to ignore it. I need to get into his good side to get a clue about my brother's location. Dylan wore his shirt and grabbed his cellphone, wallet, and car key. He kissed me again and stared at my eyes. “I'm off to work again, sweetheart. You shouldn't defy me, so we won't have any problem, okay.” I did not answer. He chuckled. “I'll be staying in the company tonight, so better behave because whatever you do will reach me.” Again, I kept my mouth shut and just stared at him without any emotion in my eyes. Even af
Chapter 5Samantha I DECIDED to leave the bedroom. It's been three days since I locked myself inside. I refused to talk to Jacob because he's Dylan's ally and I hate them both for keeping me inside this freaking gigantic mansion. It's too lonely here. I wanted to go out and have some fresh air. D*mn! I really want to be free. I grimaced as I noticed the CCTV camera in the living area. Actually, I wished that Jacob put a camera inside the bedroom, that could be enough to file a case against Dylan, but my evil husband is just too smart. I went straight to the kitchen to drink water when I saw Jacob drinking apple juice while half naked. I gaped at him as I blinked continuously. Is he serious? He noticed me gawking at him, and I immediately looked away as he smirked. He cleared his throat right away. “Do you need something, miss Samantha?” I did not respond, instead, I went to the refrigerator to drink water. Jacob on the other hand remained s
Chapter 6Samantha JACOB keeps on glancing at me while I'm watering the plants in the garden. Dylan left early in the morning and firmly ordered me not to leave the mansion. He's being paranoid, as Lucian tried to reach me last night through my social media account after Dylan forced me to give him all my social media accounts and forbids me to use gadgets. I don't like it, but I can't do anything, since he used my brother again to get what he wants. I was about to enter the house when Jacob got in my way. I lifted my chin and met his gaze. “What?” He looked down at me, guilt is visible in his eyes. “I'm sorry.” I heaved a sigh and crossed my arms. “It's nothing. I shouldn't have talked to you either, you're just a bodyguard.” “Miss Samantha—” I lifted my arm, stopping him. “I got nothing to say to you, Jacob. It's not even a month since we met. You shouldn't involve yourself with me.” I saw his jaw clenched. For wha
