130.Samantha raised an eyebrow, wondering what Bianca was talking about. “Matter of life and death?” she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly at Bianca like she didn’t believe what the lady was saying.On the other hand, Linda was taking her vow of protecting Smanatha quite seriously as she stretched her hand out, denying Bianca from coming close to Samantha. Now that the lady was pregnant, they needed to be extra cautious. The more power one was, the more enemies they made, and she wasn’t a fool to know that Samantha had plenty enemies—enemies of which one was standing in front of her right now. “Do you think we’re going to believe your lies?” Linda scoffed. “I bet you’re just looking for an excuse to hurt her.”Bianca shook her head. “Trust me, I’m in no position to hurt anyone. I can’t even afford to hurt a fly at this rate.” “Liar!” Linda snapped. “That’s what they all say.” she scoffed.Samantha sighed. “Linda, that’s enough. Let’s hear her out.”Linda blinked. “What? Are you sur
129.Linda blinked, her eyes widening as she took in his words. At one point she felt like she was dreaming, but she stylishly pinched herself. The pain was as real as the confession just made to her.“Seth, I…”“I know we haven’t spent a lot of time touetger, Linda, but the little time we’ve spent has shown me that you are the woman I want. No woman has ever made me feel the way you make me feel. I feel like myself whenever I’m with you and I don’t get to hide my flaws with you, Linda. I love you.”Linda smiled as she stared at him. She couldn’t deny the fact that she had been attracted to him for a while now. It all started after he defended her against Roland — the way he fought for her and even punched Roland when Roland disrespected her moved her to the core. Though they had times when they’d banter and curse at each other, but she always found herself enjoying every bit of it. And yes, she got to be herself with him too; she hid no flaws and he was able to see all of her the sam
128.A WEEK LATER...“Is everything ready?” Darcel asked as she walked into the house.Samantha and the rest nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Darcel gestured for them to turn off the lights and they did. They heard the sound of Mia's car driving into the compound and hid themselves.Excitement was in the air as they waited for the two lovebirds to make their way into the house. They heard Mia's excited voice talking with Shawn, but she stopped the minute the door opened and what she met was obscure darkness.Mia's brows furrowed in confusion. Darcel called her that they were home, what was going on?“Where did everybody go? And why is everywhere so dark?” Shawn asked, his expression mirroring that of Mia.“I have no idea,” Mia sighed but then she caught a whiff of something in the air. “Is that cake I smell?” her face lit up. “Wait here, Shawn, I'll go turn on the lights.”She found a way to the switch and turned it on. Immediately the lights came on, the group jumped up and screamed
127.Aiden walked into the living room with a smile on his face. “Good day, mother in law. You look quite exquisite this evening.”Jessica scoffed at him. “Oh please, don't flatter me. You're here to take my daughter home...again!” she feigned annoyance.Aiden chuckled. “I came because I missed her. Do you know how traumatizing it is for a man to come back after a long day at work, and not see his wife? Her face is the only source of strength I need.” he whined and the girls couldn't help giggling.Samantha smiled and stood to her feet. “I thought the baby's who you're missing,” she folded her arms. “For that reason, I'm sleeping with mum tonight. You can go back home and do whatever it is you feel like.”Aiden pouted and hugged her. “I'm sorry, my angel. But you know I love you both equally, right? I was just teasing you.” he pulled away and poked her forehead lovingly.Samantha pouted. “I know,” she tugged at his long sleeves shirt. “I was just being dramatic.” both chuckled.“Oh pl
126.SALVADOR'S MANSION "Oh, darling, you have no idea how happy I was when you told me over the phone that you were pregnant," Jessica was so excited as she took a seat on the couch after giving Samantha a glass of water.Samantha beamed, a wave of relief washing over her. "I'm just happy that I'm finally pregnant, mum.""Finally?" Linda chuckled. "Girl, you weren't even looking for the fruit of the womb." she teased, causing the women to laugh.Jessica couldn't help her excitement. She was going to become a grandmother, and her husband a grandfather. "I can't wait to know if I'm having a grandson or grand daughter. But I'd prefer a grandson. I want a replica of Aiden." Samantha's eyes widened. "Mum," she called in mock offense. "I feel betrayed," she whined, causing Linda and Darcel to giggle. "I'm your daughter. Why would you want a replica of Aiden?" she asked with a pout. Jessica grinned, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Why not? I have a very handsome and out of the world ca
Samantha was speechless as she stared at Mia. How on earth? “You sent that video to Yasmeen with my phone? How is that even possible?” Mia sighed. “I heard when you two were arguing about the video and I could sense her fear. Yasmeen is someone who loves reputation more than anything. If she sees that you have a bad reputation, she wound cut off from you immediately so I had to take my chance. That was why I borrowed your phone that night. I wanted to send to video to myself but unfortunately, if didn’t go through so I had to send it to Yasmeen on your behalf.” she explained. “That was so wrong,” Aiden spoke up. “You made it look like Samantha did it. Besides, Samantha already promised Estella she wasn’t going to send it.” Samantha sighed. “Aiden is right, Mia. Estella hates me more now because of that.” “I’m sorry, but that was the only way to get rid of her and it worked,” she said but Samantha and Aiden didn’t look pleased. “I know it wasn’t the best way but I got fed up with
