HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 26: I Will Not Die Because of Love
Samantha’s friends kept trying to reach her—call after call, but no answer.“Allow her to enjoy herself,” Marian shrugged.“When she’s done with Jake, she’ll come.”“But this isn’t right,” Tasha said, frowning.“She could’ve picked up at least once.”“Maybe we should just let her phone rest,” Naomi suggested, trying to lighten the mood.By 4 PM, Samantha still hadn’t returned.They dialed. They texted via WhatsApp and SMS.“Where are you?”“Have you forgotten we’ve got a long journey back home?”“At least pick up your call just once…”But all they got in return was silence.They waited until 5 PM.Then, at 6 PM, Concern replaced curiosity.The air was heavy.“What kind of strange behavior is this?” Tasha said, voice shaking slightly.“This isn’t like the Samantha I know.”“Maybe we should call Jake,” Naomi suggested, pacing restlessly.“Do you have his number?” Tasha asked, hopeful.“No, I don’t,” Naomi sighed.“Neither do I,” Marian added, frustration in her tone.A quiet pause sett

“Girls, I think I have to leave you now,” Samantha said, rising to her feet.“I’ll join you soon in the library.”She hesitated, her voice lower now.“To be honest, my mind isn’t settled… but I don’t want to disappoint Jake—especially with his friend there.”She glanced down, thoughtful.“What matters most to me right now is completing my school fees.”“Alright, dear, go well,” the girls said as Samantha turned to leave.Naomi teased. “Please bring our fried rice and chicken!”The others chimed in with laughter.“Yes—don’t eat only!”Samantha grinned.“Don’t worry, I’ll bring the food... and all the customers too!”Laughter erupted again, the whole group bursting with joy.Naomi waved her hands dramatically.“Please… please! We don’t need your food again!”Marian leaned in with a smirk.“Oh yes, don’t bother—we’re not witches. We don’t eat humans!”Joan and Tasha nodded in mock seriousness.“True o! We don’t do that kind of thing!”Samantha walked away with a smile, wrapped in the ech
HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 24: Between Deadline and Grace
It was Monday morning.Samantha sat quietly in class, but her mind was far away.Not thinking about Jake.Not thinking about Daniel.Not about friends or family.Not even her struggles.Her only thought… was her school fees.Exams were coming up next week, and today was the final payment deadline—extended for the very last time.She needed to pay the balance.But she didn’t have it.Her eyes stared at the lecturer, but the words didn’t reach her.She was there… but not really there.Worry filled her chest like water in a sinking boat.“um… umm… umm.” Joan cleared her throat gently, snapping Samantha out of her deep thoughts. She had been watching her closely.It didn’t take much to guess—this was about school fees.Samantha hadn’t even noticed when her seatmate shifted over, making space for Joan to sit beside her.Samantha blinked, returning from wherever her mind had gone.All she could do was nod, the heaviness still sitting quietly in her chest.“Hi Joan,” Samantha whispered.Joa
HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 23: The Unexpected That Broke Her Down
“Hey! Look who’s here!” someone called out from across the seats as she spotted Samantha through the window. Almost all of Samantha’s colleagues rushed over, their voices overlapping with excitement.Samantha barely reached the entrance before she was surrounded.Smile.Hugging.“Sorry!”“We missed you!”all at the same moment.It was her first day back on campus since the accident, and the moment she stepped into the lecture hall, everyone stood and rushed toward her.The outpouring of love came fast and full.Rebecca flung her arms around her, eyes bright.“It’s been two weeks,” she said.“But it felt like two years!”“I missed you so much,” another voice added from the crowd.Samantha couldn’t help but smile.Naomi barked through the crowd, protective and loud:“Y’all be careful! She’s healing—watch the bruises, okay?”Tasha and Mirian tried to help Samantha with her backpack, careful not to press her too hard.They managed to grab the bag, but with the crowd pressing in, there was
HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 22: The Temptation Men Hardly Resist
“Don’t worry, dear. It’s nothing,” Nathan replied gently when Samantha noticed his thoughtful silence. But deep inside, his curiosity burned. Who was this man? And the boss he mentioned? Something didn’t sit right. Maybe I’ll investigate it myself, Nathan thought quietly.Meanwhile, Samantha spent two weeks healing and resting at home, recovering fully before she returns to school. Friends came by to cheer her up—Jake, Daniel, Naomi, Tasha, Marian, and some others. They brought food, laughter, and endless stories to make her smile.One quiet afternoon, Samantha turned to Jake. “That paper you said you wrote for me… can I read it now?”Jake smiled and shook his head. “Not yet. When you’re back in school, strong and well—that’s when you’ll get it.”Samantha rolled her eyes playfully but nodded her head.Then came Friday.Jake, on his way to see her, sat in a yellow taxi. He spotted something—A girl was standing alone beside a car on the expressway. One hand on her hip, the other
HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 21: Not What We Expected
“Why are you acting this way?” he asked carefully. “Be free with me, ma’ams. You’re my relative... right?”“Yes, sir,” I said quickly.“No, sir,” Gloria cut in at the same time.The man looked at both of us, visibly confused.Realizing the mismatch that we’d given conflicting answers, I quickly echoed her,“No, sir,”But then Gloria reversed course and echoed mine,“Yes, sir,” almost at the same time.We both turned to look at each other, thrown off. Confused. I'm a little embarrassed. Then glanced back at the man, whose expression said it all:What is going on here?He leaned back slowly in his chair, arms crossed, just... watching.After a long pause, Gloria pointed at me and said, “She’s looking for her lost son too.”I whispered harshly, my face scrunched. “Gloria…”But she kept going.“Her son went missing many years ago,” she said gently.“To cut the story short, we’ve held onto hope… believing that someday, a miracle would knock at our door.
