Eunice is determined not to be entangled with a celebrity, but Sam isn't ready to take no for an answer.

Can Eunice and Sam find a way to keep their love alive, or are they fighting a lost battle?

This is Eunice, my girlfriend,” Sam answers his mother proudly.“Good afternoon, ma’am,” I greet her politely, not sure if I should embrace her or just stay put.“I haven’t heard much about you,” she says plainly, ignoring my greeting. “I thought she was someone… younger,” she says to Sam, but her eyes are still on me.“Come on, Mother. Why would you say that?” Sam asks her in a tone that shows his irritation with his mother’s rude comment.“It was merely an observation, not an insult. You aren’t offended, are you?” She asks me with a bland expression.“No, I’m not,” I say, even though I feel like turning around and walking out of this unbelievably beautiful house right now.“Good,” she says with what looks like a smirk. “Come now, my love. Your father is seeing to the barbecue with Paula. You know that’s her forte, right? She does it so well.”“Paula is here?” Sam asks in surprise.“Yes. I invited her over,” his mother replies in a tone that shows her decision is final.
Brandon Ewing and his wife, Marissa Ewing, own a six-plot land on which their lavish three-story mansion is built. The vast property features an additional two-story staff building, two cottages that serve as guest houses, a luxury spa, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool in the back.There is also a vegetable/herbs garden in the east wing, a grand gazebo set in a mini flower maze in the west wing, and an expansive underground garage just off the driveway leading to the front of the house.The Ewing residence screams of unquantifiable wealth, and for a moment, I feel out of place. It’s as if I have just stepped onto a different planet.“I’m seriously struggling to come up with the right words to describe this place,” I confess to Sam in awe.“I know, right?” He responds with a chuckle. “It gets me every time too.”“It’s as if we’ve just stepped across the continent and appeared in a beautiful European countryside,” I continue in my awestruck tone. “What on earth is this place?”Sam lau
“Heather has been with me for a very long time, and she’s a hardworking woman,” Sam says to me quietly.“So?” I ask him sharply.“So, I don’t want to fire her,” he explains.“You don’t have to fire her,” I assure him. “Just put her in her place,e or I will. I told you yesterday that she doesn’t like me, and now she has proven it. If she tries another stunt like that with me, I won’t hold back.”Sam chuckles and plants a tender kiss on my forehead. “My feisty Eunice. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to her.”“Please, do.”“In the meantime, will you share my cup of coffee with me? Since you don’t trust Heather to make another one for you.”“Well, you don’t expect me to give her a chance to finally poison me, do you?”Sam laughs heartily. “Don’t be ridiculous, Eunice. Heather wouldn’t do that. She’s harmless.”“Whatever,” I say with a shrug and return to my seat. I share Sam’s coffee with him, and afterward, he takes me on a tour of his house.Once that’s done, we head back upstairs to shower and
“Eunice, are you crying?” Sam asks me and draws back to take a look at my face.I try to look away, but he captures my face in his hands and asks, “What is it? Are you ok? Is it because of the visit?”“No,” I respond, shaking my head slowly.“We won’t go if you don’t feel up to it,” Sam tells me tenderly. “Please, don’t cry, my darling. Talk to me. What is it?”No matter how hard I try, the tears won’t stop flowing. I don’t even know how to put my feelings into words without weirding him out.How do I say, ‘I love you, but I don’t want to love you?’ Wouldn’t that be the craziest thing he’s ever heard?“It’s nothing,” I finally respond to Sam’s questions. “I guess I just miss my children.”“Are you sure that’s why you’re crying?” He asks me sceptically. “You know we can always do a video call so you can see them whenever you want. That’s what we’ve been doing since we got here, so why would you cry because you miss them? What aren’t you telling me, Eunice?”I avert my eyes quickly beca
