Chapter 8
SamanthaI WOKE up with a blanket covering my naked body. Dylan's not around and it relieved me. I feel it would be better not to see him after what he did to me last night. He used me like I am some kind of whore and I loath him for that.
A sarcastic smile formed in my lips as I gripped the blanket that's covering my body. Seriously? After using me like that, he'll cover me with a blanket as if nothing happened.
I balled my fist and slowly sat on the bed. I bit my lower lip as pain sting in between my legs. I groaned and pushed myself to stand. Covered with blanket, I went inside the bathroom, limping.
Slowly, I started caressing my arm. I swallowed hard and faced the mirror in the bathroom. With trembling hands, I dropped the blanket and squeezed my eyes closed as I saw the reflection of my body in the mirror.
There are kiss marks in my chest and arm, down to my stomach and legs.
I took a deep breath and made my way to the shower area. I started rubbing my skin, trying to remove the traces of his touch and kiss.
After taking a bath, I went to the kitchen. I saw Jacob putting a cup of coffee in front of Dylan.
I froze and was about to turn my back when Dylan noticed me. He immediately pulled me and made me sat on his lap. I tried to stand up, but he firmly held my waist and made me faced him.
His jaw clenched. “Let me ravish you before I go to work, sweetheart.”
I was about to move my face when he pulled me by my nape and crashed his lips against mine. His other hand made its way inside my shorts and started rubbing me.
I bit his lips and got off him, but he's quick to grab my wrist that made me flinched. He threw the coffee from the table and harshly pushed me on it. He bent my body as he pressed his body against mine. He started kissing my neck from the back as I met Jacob's blue eyes.
I felt so dirty and disgusted as Dylan pressed his front against my back.
Tears started pooling in my eyes.
“Listen here, sweetheart. You don't have the rights to refuse to me. I'm just giving back what your father did to my mother. You see, I'm still being nice to you since you haven't lost your mind.” he whispered in my ear and cupped my front.
I flinched as my breathing became rugged. I withdraw my stare from Jacob and bit my lower lip as I tried to push Dylan away from me.
“Jacob, leave us. I don't want you to see my wife's body as I f*ck her.” Dylan commanded.
Fear consumed me as I shifted my gaze back to Jacob. I started shaking my head as tears started streaming down my face.
Jacob avoided my gaze. “I'm sorry, sir, but you're gonna be late for your meeting.”
Dylan slammed his fist on the table. “Just f*cking leave, Jacob, or you want to join us, do you?”
I balled my trembling fist. I dropped my eyes on the table as I hear Jacob's footsteps, leaving the kitchen.
I squeezed my eyes closed as Dylan tore my clothes again and started using my body for his own selfish pleasure.
Every move and every kiss he does, my stomach is turning upside down, making me want to puke in disgust.
I swallowed hard and dropped my exhausted body on the floor after he's done. He then buckled his belt and kissed my lips again before leaving me in the kitchen.
Panting, I rested my back against the dining table and squeezed my eyes closed. Tears escaped my eyes, but I maintained my emotionless face. I'm so tired with this life.
I flinched when a warm arm gently carried me, after a cloth covered my body. My eyes widened as Jacob's blue, intense eyes welcomed me.
His jaws are clenched. He's also half naked because he covered my naked body with his black t-shirt.
I looked away. “P-Please put me down.”
“I'm sorry.”
My heart pounded as I shifted my gaze back to him. “W-Why?”
His stares become more intense as anger formed in his eyes. “I don't have a choice. I need his money to save my dying mother.”
I didn't respond, instead, I rested my head against his naked chest as he started walking. His palm in my legs is too warm and his body against mine is too hard. I don't know, but, I suddenly felt secure and comfortable in his arms.
“W-Where is he?” I asked, almost whispering.
“He left already. Do you wanna escape? I will help you.”
I chuckled without humor. “Your mother is dying.”
“I'll look for another job.”
I squeezed my eyes closed as I swallowed hard. We reached the bedroom, and he slowly deposited me on the bed. He's also quick to cover my nakedness with a blanket as he stared at me with so much emotion in his eyes which I couldn't read.
I stared back at him. “I can't leave yet. He's hiding my brother.”
He stood beside the bed and took a deep sigh. He slowly nodded. “I will think of a way to help you.”
I appreciate that he want to help me, but I just can't accept pity from anyone. With my situation, pride is the only thing that's left in me.
I shook my head. “I'm not your responsibility, Jacob.”
“I-I don't understand, miss Samantha, how did you end up with him?”
I smiled, a faint one. “We were in love, at least I thought,” I shook my head again. “He's just after my wealth and is up for revenge.”
He didn't respond. He just stared at me for a second before pressing his lips together. He slipped his hands inside his pocket. “I'll be in the living area, miss Samantha, if you need anything, just shout my name.”
I couldn't help but to laugh. What is he, a superhero?
I looked at him again, who's now confused after I laughed. I faintly smiled. “Can you cook for me again? I'm hungry.”
He nodded. “Okay, just give me thirty minutes.”
I stared at the door after he left. I felt so feeble in bed. I'm glad that Jacob is there to carry me because I know I wouldn't be able to walk back in the bedroom after what Dylan did.
I'm just physically and emotionally exhausted.
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
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 POV"I will beg, Theo!" I desperately growled at Theo. He's restraining me from leaving. He just doesn't want me to leave and do the only thing I can think of. I will beg to my family just so I can find Samantha. I will kneel willingly, so they'd help me."Do you think they will really help you? Our family are worse than you think, Jacob. They won't allow you to be happy after you turned your back on them."I looked down, hopeless. I don't know what to do anymore. When I decided to leave, Shane stopped me. And now, Theo is convincing me to stay. I don't wanna stay here and wait. I don't wanna stay here and do nothing. I just can't."Your daughter needs you, Jacob. I know you want to save Samantha. You badly want to be with her again. You're damn worried, but if you leave, what will happen to your daughter? Didn't you promise Samantha that you'll take care of your child? What are you doing now?"I fell on my knees. I don't know. I don't know anymore. I'm so confused. I'm so da
Samantha's POVI watched Dylan entered the room with a tray of food. He was smiling so wide, so bright, and I know that behind those smiles, he was thinking something selfish and devilish. I've known him for a long time. I've been fooled by him real good, and he's done enough to make me want to puke every time I see his face.He walked towards the bed where I'm sitting and put the tray on the bedside table. He leaned to me and kissed my cheek. I would love to spit on his face, but I have to play my cards well. Dylan is a bastard, and I know he knew that I have plans."Are you hungry, sweetheart? Do you want me to feed you?"I looked at him, despise is visible in my eyes. I don't wanna pretend that I don't hate him. He's f-cking bastard and coward for doing this. Abducting me, and blackmailing that he would hurt my child and Jacob? He's plain stupid!"Why don't you eat alone, Dylan? I don't have an appetite. I've lost it the moment I saw your face," I said with my clenching jaws.He ch
I've been searching for Samantha for a week, but I always fail to find her. I can't help but to cry on the seventh days because of worry and frustration. I know that it was Dylan, who took her. What made me furious even more was she was taken even when i'm just with her that day. She was taken without me noticing. Dylan managed to take her away on my guard, and i'm so angry at myself. I hate myself."What do we do, Jacob?" Theo asked me and heaved a sigh. "The investigator haven't found any clue for the past few days. I bet our family is also blocking our connections. They think Samantha is the problem here."I clenched his jaws and looked at Shane. He was silently listening while staring at baby Sunny in his lap. I'm aware that he's frustrated either, but he's trying to calm and convince himself that his sister is safe."You need to ask help from our family, Jacob," Theo added.I clenched my jaws and shook my head as I lifted his face and looked at Theo. "No! I will find her myself,
Samantha's POVAfter I got discharged, we went home straight. Jacob was so careful of me and our baby that sometimes I'll just laugh at him because he's really overreacting."I'm not a baby, Theo!"I looked at my brother, who growled at Theo. The annoying Theo keeps on insisting on carrying him to sit on the couch, but my brother, who's showering with pride, keeps on refusing.I just shook my head and looked at my sunshine in my arms. I went to the kitchen, following Jacob, who's gonna cook our dinner."Hey!" Jacob noticed me behind him. He smiled and went to us. He kissed our baby's knuckles. "Hello, my little sunshine. Daddy is here."I smiled and stole a kiss on his cheek. He looked at me and shot his eyebrow up. "You're abusive."I chuckled and chewed my lower lip. I shook my head. "You don't like it?"He grinned and kissed my lips. It was a passionate and long kiss while his left hand is keeping my face in place. He licked his lower lip after the kiss and winked. "I love the tast
