Chapter 2

Chapter 2She found it odd to meet the door ajar, but she didn't care much. 

She walked in gently, not wanting to make a single noise. She entered the sitting room happily with her face full of smiles only to meet no one inside the room.

Samantha then walked to the kitchen and dining room to meet no one there. Then that was when her heart began to beat faster, she was getting confused for no reason.

Her hands wobbled gently, "Samantha, get a hold of yourself, nothing happened to Jake, he's probably in his bedroom." She mumbled under her breath, but her hands failed her.

Her hands were wobbling uncontrollably, beads of sweats were formed around her face, and her heart beat seconds after seconds.

She was hoping that it wasn't what she deemed it to be.

The bedroom door was slightly open, and her heart skipped a beat. She walked gently over there, and slowly, she pushed the door open quietly only to see Jake naked with her best friend Ashlyn.

"More! More!! More!!!" Ashlyn screamed out of great pleasure, her thin voice making her sound angelic.

"Ashlyn, I love only you In this world only," Jake said while Ashlyn nodded slightly.

The creaking sounds of the bed made Loud noises rhythmically as the duo bounced up and down.

Samantha's figure became damp, she couldn't believe her eyes. Her one and only Jake cheated on her with her best friend, Ashlyn and here they were talking nonsense about her.

The box of chocolates dropped on the floor making a loud thud voice that interrupted the duo.

"Samantha!" Jake cried out loud looking pitifully at her with pleading eyes. His eyes were enough to trick someone into forgiving him, but she wasn't going to give in.

"It's not what not to think," He pressed further, but the pale figure of Samantha couldn't get herself to say anything. 

She was having missed emotions, she didn't know if she was supposed to get angry or jealous, or just forgive him through the love she has for him.

Ashlyn sat on the bed transfixed, here she was, naked in front of her best friend, caught by her best friend having sex with her lover.

She covered herself with the duvet, hiding her face.. She couldn't get herself to look at Samantha's face. Guiltiness flushed at every system of her body.

Jake looked at the floor with tenderness, his eyes catching the box of chocolates, then he picked it up, "Are these for me?" 

He forced a smile to his lips, but deep inside him, he knew he was doomed.

Samantha still stood there, every single scene replayed in her head, and their words rang in her ears as though they were bells.

Her heart shattered into a thousand pieces, she tried hiding the tears that were about to pour out, but her emotions betrayed her.

Tears like rivers poured down her cheeks, while she sobbed gently. She didn't imagine that her love life could be like this. This was one of the worst feelings she has ever encountered.

Jake tried moving closer to her, intending to pat her back, but instead, she pushed him away making him fall towards the wall.

"Don't you dare come closer to me again," She bellowed. The room felt tense and the atmosphere was cold. The two looked at the angry Samantha in disbelief. The Samantha they knew was way different from this one. She was naive, gentle, calm, loving and understanding but Samantha standing before them was the exact opposite.

Jake blinked his eyes twice, "Wasn't this Samantha?" He mumbled grudgingly under his breath.

"Sa-m, it's me J-ake, remember?" He said amidst stammers.

She moved closer to him with bulging eyes and glared, "Don't you ever call me that in your life."

Samantha tried keeping her emotions in and covering it all in but it was all a phase.

Her hands and legs wobbled, her emotions were beginning to fail her again. She looked towards Ashlyn who was already frail now.

She shook under the duvet not daring to look up. Gracefully, she walked towards her and pushed her head up. Jolted as she was, she couldn't dare to talk.

She has never seen this wicked and cold side of Samantha ever since they were childhood friends. Her body became pale immediately she came face to face with her.

Samantha smirked, and landed a slap on her pretty face. Ashlyn yelped and groaned while cursing under her breath.

She held her cheeks in pain but Jake couldn't help but stare. Samantha hissed, these people were already getting on her nerves, and she couldn't let them go.

Her eyes moved towards Jake only to see him with her box of chocolates. Her anger grew to its brim.

She walked towards him and gave him a slap on his face too. She angrily grabbed the box harshly with a glare on her face.

Jake looked up at her fearfully, "I thought those were for me." He asked her, his eyes trying to beg her but just couldn’t.

The moment Samantha heard those words, she felt absolute rage. Was this man out of his mind?

Getting to experience the rage of Samantha made the two tremble in fear.

"Get Out," Samantha yelled, pointing towards the door.

She gave this house to Jake on their first anniversary, but now he just betrayed her! 

Her heart ached just seeing the man she loved half naked running away from her house alongside the only best friend she had.

Startled, Samantha gazed at the opposite side of the bed to see her clothes tattered, looking torn beside the side mirror made her eyes widen.

"Am I dreaming?" She murmured, blinking her eyes severally till she realized she wasn't.

The man beside her whose left arm was tattooed shifted a bit. He shifted from one side of the bed to the other until he hit a stiff object.

With curiosity at its peak, he quickly rose up only to see a young woman sitting beside him and seemed to be in deep thought.

"Who are you?" He asked her, and she looked at him slowly with eyes full of guilt.
