SAMANTHA'S POV We finally moved to the new house, this time, he was nice enough to give me my own room."The housekeepers will be available in case you need help with anything." I looked at the people he called his housekeepers, there was an elderly lady, a young girl and a man who I assumed was the Gardner, they had their quarter behind the house."Welcome Ma." They all said in Unison."Thank you." I replied before following him to the room he wanted to show me.I returned to my own room after the tour round the house, the place was even more luxurious and big, way more than I had imagined.I took my shoes off and laid down on my soft bed, my thoughts wandering off to the past events of the previous days.My stepmother and my sister were to be released later in the day, I hoped whatever they might have gone through in police custody would be enough to make them leave me alone, atleast I was sure that they wouldn't find me here.Mum was scheduled for a surgery later in the week, I
NOAH'S POVI hated Scandals!I hated having my name up on the net for the wrong reason.I hated when bloggers had a field day with my name and the worst part, I hated having to watch her shake like a wet puppy in my presence."I honestly didn't take the necklace, I don't know why they're doing all this." She said as more tears streamed down her face.I had heard the sound of something crashing while I was busy with work, only to rush downstairs and found her wet, eyes wide open like she had seen a ghost with her body shaking vigorously.She had shown me the headline after I kept on trying to find out the issue.It was my first scandal and I hated the look of it."Are you sure it was your sister that did this?" I asked again because it didn't make sense that one's own blood would want to go this far."Yes, she sent me a message earlier demanding I sent her money so she would bury the issue, I didn't reply and she decided to do this." "Okay, I believe you. No matter what, stay indoors
SAMANTHA'S POV "I don't know how that found it's way into my bag, I swear I didn't put it there." "Then who did? You think my mum and I would do that to accuse you or what?" Lisa said coming to stand in front of me."I didn't, I honestly didn't take that, have no idea how it got into my bag." I tried saying again but my stepmom was already dragging me by my hair.It took the help of Noah for her to stop, he stood in between us and took the bag from her.Bringing out the necklace, he gave it to Lisa without saying a word."Noah, you see the woman you choose to marry? This is how she is, always taking what doesn't belong to her, this isn't the first and I'm sure it wouldn't be the last." Lisa said shooting dagger stares at me.When she had said she was going to take everything from me, I never knew this was how low she could go to destroy the little peace I thought I had made for myself."Samantha, don't think because you're married you can escape this, don't worry, you'll Rot in jai
SAMANTHA'S POV"But I'm trying to help too, you think I enjoy this?" I retorted.He stood up and left the room, totally ignoring me. I sat back on the couch in anger.Who did he think he was? It wasn't my fault that we were in this situation, so why was I the only one looking for the watch? What was even so special about it? It was just a $200 wristwatch.He was even threatening me, how does he expect me to bring it back in a week? He's a disrespectful drunk and I hate myself for being in this situation with him."Can you extend the deadline to maybe a month? I promise to look under the earth to get it." I yelled at the top of my voice.Silence.Ruthless much.I rested my head on the table in frustration, my head filled ways to get back the only thing that tied us together, soon enough before my dad finds out.My phone beeped from my side pocket, I picked it up to see a call from my Dad."Samantha, can you let Noah know we're hosting a dinner later and I would really want him to be
SAMANTHA'S POV I went upstairs to find him at the beginning of the stairs."You should be more careful around her, I don't think she likes you that much." He said and went down the stairs."Okay"I turned and went back to the room, whatever had happened today was embarrassing, there was no way I wanted a repeat of it.What was the meaning of what she said? I knew my sister to be a meanie when she wants to and her mum? They were both a recipe for chaos when working together."What do I do?" I muttered to myself as I sat down on my bed.Here I was in an arranged marriage with a man I had spent a night with, someone I had thought I wouldn't meet again, I was still trying to navigate that part and now my sister wants to complicate things for me.This was one of the times I wished mum was here, she would have known what to do, I missed her, I missed her even more now, I hated the fact that I was thrown into being in full survival mood all the time.My Dad? He couldn't do more even if it w
SAMANTHA'S POV "What are you doing here?" She looked at me with a puzzled expression and continued smirking like one who had set a trap and was watching her prey fall into it. "Can't I visit my sister anymore? I couldn't see you after the wedding, you zoomed off like you didn't want anything to do with the family." She said smiling. "I couldn't even bade you farewell." She was calm, her voice had a polite tone, she didn't look like someone who was here for trouble. "Are you here because of what happened at the hospital?" I asked in an attempt to reveal her intent. "What happened?" She asked, i could see the confusion on her face. Maybe she really wasn't here to confront me for what happened with her mum at the hospital. "You've been kind to me and also being the perfect sister for as long as I can remember, I just wanted to come here to congratulate you on your wedding since I didn't get a chance to do that yesterday." "Is that all this unexpected visit is all about
