EMILIO'S POVI had left the hospital after making certain that my men were well stationed around Dominic's ward after being convinced he had lost his memories. They were not to leave the spot and should anyone get there to check on him, someone was to enter with them. I needed to get home as my manager had texted me there was an urgent message for me. I realized I had forgotten about my job all these days in my pursuit. I was headed home and then the moment we got there, I saw the person standing outside and a frown broke across my face. For the sake of the heavens, I decided to stop and also, to make myself clear to her since she wants to play silly."Stop the car and wind down the window." I said to the driver as I saw her.I was having enough of a bad day already that I would have to witness this melodramatic sight in front of my house. What was her problem or could she not simply read in-between lines that I was done with her."Emilio. You've not been returning my calls or message
SAMANTHA'S POVI could not believe I had just screamed his name out loud to George but it dawned on me with a strange realization that I had just made more or less, a declaration. I did love my husband after all and had only been thinking haywires. Sincerely, I missed Emilio. Not the recent one that had been giving me heartaches but the one I actually loved. The one that had been there to pull me away from all the pain I had been feeling after all my wrong relationships. For the record, I would rather you do not assume that George and Joey were the only men in my life. I have known men and I have seen them as well. It was never fun for me.I found myself rising up suddenly as I stared at George who seemed confused over my reaction."Are you okay, Samantha?" He asked me.Tears had begun streaming down my cheeks."What? What do you think? That I'm now crazy for saying I love my husband?" I asked him."No. It's not that. I was only..." He began but I was prepared to take the reins of our
TOM'S POVWhat was wrong with Emilio? I clearly had just sent him on his way because he had some matters of urgency to attend to and then went about my duties when my phone started to ring. It was the nurse from the hospital. Apparently, Emilio had been so kind enough as to have given her my contact and I could not tell when or how he had done that because I had not witnessed it in the tiniest bit. However, he had done that and she called me on the phone to announce the good news."Detective, the lady is awake." She said to me,"Lady? Detective? What are you talking about? Who are you?" I asked her, totally confused."I'm a nurse who was asked to watch over the female assassin in the ward. By my take, I believe you must be a detective asked to keep an eye on her. I was asked to give you a close call too." She said to me,"Did you call Emilio?" I asked her.Sincerely, I was still thinking she was making the wrong call here and only sought to point her in the right direction. I knew tha
JOEY'S POVNot again with the annoying jerk and his presence.I had been really angry the minute I saw George come around to see Samantha. I could not believe that he would have the nerve to show up at her place after everything he had done. I had to return to my men and start focusing on our primary assignment at her place with hopes of getting distracted through work which was not working. All my mind was fixed on the fact that George was in there and alone with Samantha which did not ride well with me. I wanted him out.Just when I eventually thought that I was about to lose my cool, I heard her raising her voice at him. One would never explain the feeling of triumph which I felt hearing him being asked to leave her house. It was the best thing and best feeling ever to be felt. I saw him coming up through the door as he walked out angrily towards his car and decided to give him a piece of me before going to talk to her. I was lucky to find that he was just about to open his car."Y
SAMANTHA'S POV It happened so suddenly and I had not expected that kiss one bit. It was not my intention to kiss Joey but then I realized how much I seemed to be loving the fact that he was doing so. I could not bring myself to stop initially as I equally responded to him and then a couple of moments later, I pulled away to stare hik deep into the eyes. The fact that I had just kissed him was etched onto my mind and suddenly, my conscience pricked me in the most painful way ever. I clearly had done Emilio wrong by going off to kiss someone else. "Samantha, I'm..." He started to say to me. "No. I should go." I said to him, "But we need to..." He was about to say again when I cut him off. "It was my mistake and I am really sorry. I should go now." I said but it sounded more like I was trying to convince myself to leave. My legs were beginning to turn into rubber and I knew well enough within me that if I stayed here, I would not resist. I had to run away before my leg melted before me a
EMILIO'S POVThe young man was really surprised to see me back at the phone store and had actually believed that I had come to query him over something."Is something wrong, sir?" He asked me to try his hardest to disguise his fears.I at this point was in no mood for reassurance. All I wanted right now was to get the damned phone fixed and if I would need to play baddie to get that done, then so be it."Fix this." I said to him as I slammed the phone in front of him.He took one look at it and became frightened."Wasn't this..." He started off but the glare in my eyes instantly shut him up for good as he swallowed. "Okay, sir.""And do not attempt to wipe the memory. I want it to be good as new." I said to him,"Okay, sir. You could return in about three hours, I'll have it ready by then." He said to me trying to avoid my stern gaze."Three hours you say, you must think I'm a joker, boy. I need that phone up and running in less than an hour. Do you hear me?" I asked him angrily."Ye-
EMILIO'S POV Zara was awake? That woman would go totally B.O.L.O. I looked at the young man beside men in the car now and he seemed confused as to whether or not we would be coming. I realized I needed to make a decision right now based on the scale of preference. No! This is my last chance probably at getting Samantha back and that does not happen so easily. I realized it would be best if I sought my wife out. I decided that I would call the men at the hospital and speak to them. They were to wait with her in the ward and not permit her to speak to the police. However, upon hearing that Tom was there as well, it made things easier. "You guys, sync with Tom but do not leave their side." I said as there was no trusting these people not to stab me in the back. To everyone, I was the arch villain quite alright. "Let's go, Alfredo." I said to the driver. We made our way straight to the boy's little apartment and I had to say that it was way below the standard of living I had been used t
SAMANTHA'S POV"Here you go, sweetie." Ma'am Jacqueline said as she handed me the tea cup.I took it from her amidst tears that were seeping from my eyes while trying my hardest to calm my nerves. The older lady had taken up position on a rocking chair right in front of me as she looked at me steadily."Are you going to keep crying or are we going to talk about this, Samantha?" She suddenly asked me."I'm a bad person." I said as I set the tea aside."We all are bad people." She responded.Did I ever mention she had her degrees in philosophy. It has never been an easy job talking to the woman from the onset. One is always wary of what things to say before her."No, I mean I'm very very bad." I responded."To an extent we all are very very bad. So, are you going to keep up your self loathing or you want to start telling me what happened?" She asked me again."My marriage is in shambles." I responded."That has already been established." She answers."Ma'am Jacqueline, I just did someth
