Happy ever after.Craig and Samantha's happily ever after is a testament to the resilience of their love, amidst challenges and societal expectations.If they had kept looking at what the world would say about them, they probably would not have gotten to the level they got to, and would have had to regret it all, because they didn't believe or trust in eachother. But their trust, love and resilience, pushed them to standing firm with eachother.Their journey began, with an unconventional start, a teacher, student relationship, that faced skepticism and doubt from those around them, and despite the initial hurdles, their bond grew stronger, evolving into a profound connection built on mutual respect, understanding and genuine love.Samantha at first, had thought that the world wiukd look upon her, as a bad person, that was actually abusing her student, while he was still under her care, so because of that single thought, she wanted to even raise their child alone, but love always knows
I could sense it, someone was following me, but after looking back and forth, I saw no one. Why should anyone be hunting me after everything I have been through? Haven't I been hunted enough? I am where I am today because I was too kind to my student, and because of that, it was rumored that I was having an affair with him. I fought for him, for he was almost loosing himself in the process, but what did I get in return? The other students photoshopped a picture of the both of us, saying I was having an affair with him.I was worried that it would affect his scholarship, but thankfully, he was unaffected, but I, on the other hand, I was badly affected by the effect of all they did.Some even had the guts to stand in as witnesses, to a story they made up. I lost my home, My husband filed for divorce the very day I was dismissed from school. He took my daughter away from me, and I had to flee for whatever is left of my dignity to be hidden.The school made sure, that no one will employ
I opened my eye hours or days later in an unfamiliar building. I rolled my eyes, trying to feel them. I don't know for how long I have been out, but I am very willing to know who it is that is adding to my troubles."Wow, so you are finally awake? My dear Samantha. It's been days stupid". I heard that voice, I have heard that voice before, How could I not know that voice?I tried to turn to where the voice was coming from, and I had difficulty turning, because I was tied to a chair. I needed to move the seat, so that I could see the face of the hunter.Don't worry yourself dear Samantha,you will see me". He added, and as he got closer, I couldn't believe it. I haven't seen him in five years, why would he stalk me? What does he want? He was quick to send me away, as if he had always wanted to do so.Edward Stones? I called his name. I just cannot believe that it has been my husband stalking me all this while. "Yes dear, it is me. I wouldn't have remembered you, if not for your note
I tried getting up from bed, and the pain all over my body was enough to send me back to the bed.I would have preferred to call the cops, but for someone who have had a case, of child abuse, before now, I don't think I have the right to go to the police, that my husband is abusing my eight year old. What proof do I have? they Wouldn't believe me, they would think I am just trying to get custody of her.I managed to get out of bed. No matter how difficult it all seem, I still have to do something.I staggered out of my room, and walked straight to the door, I didn't bother checking myself in the mirror, I could tell that I look terrible, but on my door step, there was a note, I was not scared to pick it up, if I didn't die last night, I will surely not die soon, so all I just had to do was to open up the note.It was a scary message, but I refused to be scared."Leave the house this minute, and go to your child's school". Was the command written on the note. In as much as I would l
I wiped my eyes thinking I must be seeing things, but when I looked again, it was still Craig, my students, who was in his final year, when the whole world turned against us, saying we were having an affair."Craig? I called out again, and he smiles, before ordering the men that had walked in with me."Leave us. Everybody leave us! The first one was for the men that brought me in, but when he added Everybody, he wanted the guards inside with him to know that he wants to be alone.I was supposed to be relaxed and happy, but I wasn't. As a matter of fact, I became very scared, this could be a case of a psychopath.Has he also been stalking me?"Hello Mrs Samantha, or should I address you as miss now, since you are no longer with your husband? He asked, and I just stared, unsure of what is going on."Craig, what is going on, and why am I here? I asked him, wanting him to cut to the chase."Alright, I was the one who sent you the note to leave the house, but that was before recalling, that
I guess this is where I should have been surprised, but somehow, I wasn't surprised. I mean with what he did the previous day, and what he showed me, why should I be surprised that he was behind all of my troubles? All I wanted to know was what I ever did wrong to him, to make him hate me that much.We were a happy couple, we did things together, we live together, we went places together, we even had a child together, so what did I ever do to him, to make him hate me this much? I looked up at Craig, and asked."But why? He raised a brow, and stared at me with wide eye."Are you really asking me that? Isn't it obvious? Your husband, is a well known paediatrician, if the world finds out, that aside being a paediatrician, he also does drugs, he will go down, He will loose his license, he will loose everything, and then, you had to find out, which was bad for him". I shook my head as to how one could be wrongly accused and misunderstood."But I didn't even know what he was giving to the
CRAIG'S POV.Seeing how pale, sad, weak and so unkempt she looks, makes me want to do so much for her.I just want to see her happy again. She used to be full of life, very happy, dresses to kill, and I have always admired her, but after what those whimps did back then at school, a whole lot changed, and instead of looking out for each day to get to school and see her, I wish that I could finish up on time, so that I could take over my inheritance, and show my grandpa, how well I could run the apple empire."Boss, we are here". I heard my personal Guard Stan say, and that was when I looked around to see that we are actually Infront of where used to be Samantha's house. The place she lived with her family.What do we do now? Stan asked again. Not like I am supposed to be here with them, but the fact that it has to do with Samantha, I want to be here, and see that everything goes as planned."I am going to sit right here, I just need you to go into the house with Joel, If Edward is not
Samantha's POV CONTINUES.Looking at my daughter, brought so much tears to my eyes. She wouldn't even let me touch her, she kept moving away whenever I try getting close to her, she just holds on tight to Mary, who was filled with tears."Hey Whit, she is your mother". Mary reminds her, between tears, and she had to bring out an image from her side, it was in a frame, a little glass frame, it looked hand made. she seem to carry it everywhere she goes. She was looking at the image and looking at me, I think to confirm that it is really me, then I heard her tiny voice."It is you. So you are alive? She asked, and I opened my eyes wide, wondering if she wanted me dead, or she was told that I was dead. She seem to get the question, so she clarified me, by slamming me, some more.You are alive, you live in a place like this with your boyfriend and you abandoned me? Now I get her question, I shook my head to speak, so that she understands that she is mistaken, but she wouldn't let me, she r
