"The family's finance is so poor and yet you are refusing such a tempting offer, Samantha!. Are you sick in the head!......Your father is dying!" Lydia, Samantha's step mother roared. She was just one step away from smacking her face.Samantha trembled in fear. The dream she imagined was about to be shattered.If she agree to be a surrogate, she will lost the love of her life forever. She will lost Stefan. She wants him to take her virginity on their wedding night and they will live a happy life. Her dream was as simple as that. To be with the man she loved dearly."Come on, sister. Are you still thinking about this? After all, it is for our benefit. You've always wanted to go to Harvard university to study cosmetics design. If you earn this money, it would be a plus...." Ashely said. She is Samantha's step sister and she is such a two faced human who is always pretending to be good to her in the public but in the private, she is nothing close to that.But in fact, Ashley has an eye on
"No, it's not true..Stefan...Stefan please listen to me" Leaning by the window, Samantha slid to the floor, her tears pouring heavily as despair completely took over her like a tide.Ashley chuckled lightly. She loves seeing Samantha crying."You had better get yourself together! You heard what the Doctor said right?""If anything happens to the baby, our family will be ruined by you!" Ashley snorted.Samantha felt her world crumbling before her. She had just lost her boyfriend, she lost her admission to Harvard too. She could no longer care about anything else aside Stefan and so, she rushed downstairs. When she saw her father, a boost of courage surge through her, "Father, I don't want to do this anymore..."Upon hearing her words, her father stood up and smack his hand across her face.Her face swung to the side and pain reverberated throughout her body."What are you talking about? You not doing this anymore means sending me to an early grave!""Sam I have raised you and now that t
While snorting, Noah Leonardo looked at Vicki again before skidding away with a backpack in his hand, half dragging it on the floor."Noah, walk properly!" However before Noah could skip more steps, a dignified male voice came from behind.Noah who was initially cheerful stopped and pouted obediently. Then dropped his backpack on the floor and kept his hands to the sides. He walked sternly like a soldier on duty. He began to match in goose steps.Looking at Noah who was walking in such a stern manner with his bowl cut hair, Sam couldn't help but laugh out loud.In quiet space, her chuckle literally attracted the attention of Noah, so when he saw her standing at the end of the line, he ran over."Hey, you are new here. Why are you dressed so old fashioned? It's extremely unattractive" Staring at the little boy who barely reached the height of her waist and had stopped tight in front of her, Sam was stunned. For a brief moment, she didn't realize what was happening.She felt something l
Later in the day, Samantha was shown around her workplace. The kitchen, the store room and everything. She was also give the chef's uniform.She was only allowed to work thrice a week. Those days are; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Such a little day for such a huge amount of money. Samantha was very pleased. She promised to go thank Mrs Claudia later in the day for recommending her."You're back, Hannah. Would you like a bowl of pasta?" Back at the apartment, Bonnie raised her head from her phone.Sam flashed her a smile. She dropped her bag and hurriedly went to seat beside Bonnie. She held her hand.Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Should I take this action of yours as a yes that you got the job?" She asked.Samantha nodded a yes, smiling so much."I got the job, Bonnie. I got the job. Finally I won't have to lock myself indoors and worry from dusk till dawn...it's such little days for such a huge amount of money. The pay is so huge. I can pay for our apartment and we will never go hungry
"S..am how have you been these years?" Looking at Sam who didn't seem to change at all except for her unfathomable eyes, Stefan was overwhelmed with emotions as he stuttered.With a slight smile, Sam replied, "As you can see I am doing okay. Thanks for asking!""Stefan!" When Ashley saw the brimming joy and excitement in Stefan's eyes while he stared at Sam, she almost pushed them apart but she restrained herself. Instead, she walked over and reached her hand to hold Stefan's hand with a grin while saying to Samantha, "Sam, you came back in time because next week Friday will be put engagement ceremony. You will be there right? By the way, Stefan is here with me today to buy our engagement ring""Ashley, why are you bringing this up?" Looking as Ashley, Stefan pulled a long face."I....""Congratulations! Since we met at the right time, I will definitely attend it" Without giving Ashley any chance to mock her again, Sam quickly interrupted her.After that, she carried her things and st
When Samantha looked up, she saw a pair of black eyes staring at the breakfast at her hand. Recognizing that it was Noah, she couldn't stop giggling. "It's spaghetti and it tastes good"Gluing his eyes on the food, Noah gulped and implored with a smile, "They seem really delicious, can I have a spoon?"Looking at his adorable yearning face, Samantha couldn't help but laugh. Then she patted the sear next to her, "Of course you can. Come and and sit here""Okay" Noah happily answered and immediately sat down beside Samantha."It is a little bit spicy, can you stand it?" While handing the food box with spaghetti and meat box, Samantha reminded him kindly. "Am not afraid of spiciness" As soom as Noah grabbed the box with his fair chubby hands, he took the fork and scoped some spaghetti into his mouth. While eating, he mumbled, "I've always loved spicy food! No one in my family can compete with eating spicy foods with me"Looking at Noah who seemed very hungry, Samantha patted his back gen
"Ama, Mr President is a very particular person. Everyone in the President's mansion should not be looked down upon. So, you must be very careful with your words and actions in this place. I hope you can be meticulous in your job and do your best" When they came out of Nicklaus office, Vickie told Samantha. After all Vickie his personal assistant, so she couldn't make a fool of herself. Besides, Vickie likes her and was part of the people that made her employment a success.Looking at Vickie, Samantha nodded her head, "I know. I will be very careful next time and I promise not to ever disappoint you"Gratified Vickie patted her shoulder, "Do your job well and have a bright future" With that, Vickie left and Samantha quickly returned to the kitchen with a thrumpling heart.It's difficult to believe that she almost lost her job minutes ago.She recalled how her gaze fell into Nicklaus pair of deep and bottomless black eyes. Those black eyes were like black holes which could easily entrap
Samantha cared less about the rumor even though it went on and on. All eyes were on her. They sized her up and couldn't stop making speculations. Showered under their gaze, Samantha lifted her red lips into a perfect arc as she walked into the hall in a graceful demeanor without the slightest form of awkwardness and uneasiness. "Greetings, Miss. I wonder if I would have the honor to dance with you on the dance floor later" A handsome man suddenly showed up to her. With his shining eyes, staring at her. Looking at the man who blocked her way, Samantha had to stop and she refused him politely, "Excuse me, Mr man. I am here to attend the wedding of the Dante's and the George's, I'm not here to dance" As a chef in the President's mansion, keeping her identity was the first rule. Although the man in front her is handsome, it was obvious that he is a young man born into a wealthy family, so it is not a good idea to be friends with him. Meanwhile, the young man didn't take Sam's rejecti
