A month later,

Samantha Bones stared at her reflection from the mirror. She was wearing a gold backless dress with a plunging neckline psir with a silver stilettos.

Her make up was on point. She looked sexy and gorgeous.

Yeah! Today was her engagement night with Clark Langford.

The few passed month, she got to know him. And now, she has take a little, very little interest in him.

The door burst opened and she could hear footsteps.From the vanity mirror, she noticed it was Clark. She immediately turned to face him with a smile.

He's now well dressed in a white V-neck shirt and a fadef denim pant.

He got to her and lean his mouth over her ears.

"You're really a definition of perfection, Gorgeous and sexy" He said.

Samantha only rolled her eyes.

"Stop it Clark. You knew how much i hate" She uttered, taking about the compliment he gave.

He looked down at her. He's mesmerized by her aura. She cleared her throat and averted her gaze. Awkwardness suddenly filled the air.

He held her hand carefully. She glanced at him. He was staring at her as if he was memorizing all the sides of her face. She held her breath as he pulled a few strands of her hair from her neck. She stiffened even more as he thoroughly titled his head towards her.

What is he doing?. She couldn't help but close her eyes when his breath hit her neck. There's something tickling her system that makes her goose bumps. She opened her eyes when she felt a little cold above her chest......A necklace.

She blinked several times and unbelievably stared at it.

"Thanks" She said and stared again at the necklace.

"It's beautiful" she muttered, touching the diamond necklace.

"I'll see you downstairs"

He kissed her neckline and left. Samantha suddenly let go of the breath she have been holding in.

The mansion was filled with people, both men and women, all dressed beautifully. The interior is well decorated with balloons and beautiful chandelier light hanging on the ceiling. Everyone has smiles on their faces, expressing their happiness. Standing in the midst of the crowd is Clark Langford, patiently waiting for his bride to descend the stairs.

And then she did. She walked down the stairs confidently. He stares at her from the stairs intently. Her pair of brown round eyes, her soft cheeks, her light skin, and her pink small heart shaped lips makes her the most perfect woman.

Samantha stared down at everyone as she walked down the stairs. For a second, she felt it was her dream engagement party. Just like what she dresmt of.

Would this actually turns out perfect?

She suddenly felt dizzy, and her vision blurry. She missed a step and before she knew it, she fell heavily on the stair and started rolling down.

"Oh my God! What's happening?"

That's all she heard before passing out.

AT THE HOSPITAL

A searing psin shot through her arm. It was unbearable. Samantha licked her chapped lips and tried to open her eyes but couldn't. Her eyelids felt hot and heavy.

She heard muffled voices as she stirred on the bed. Sometimes, the voices sounded loud and clear and at a time it softened, confusing her.

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself laying in a hospital. Her eyes widened in horror. She soon realized what happened. She turned her head sideway and her gaze met with Clark who's sitting beside her.

He had a sad look.

"Congratulations Samantha, you're a month pregnant"

"What!" She recoiled in shock.

Her heart sneaked. It was drumming in her chest, she broke into a cold sweat. She had never had any intimacy with him. At that very moment, she remembered the awful one night she had with the stranger.

"Telling me you don't want me would have been better"

The tears fell off his eyes but he quickly wipe them.

"Take care of yourself Samantha. It's nice meeting your kind of person. Goodbye" he said.

She shook her head. The fear wracked her nerves. Her body trembled. He turned around and hurried away not bothering to spare her another look.

She immediately pulled the needle out of her arm and ran after him.

She shouted his name but he didn't look back. Thinking he hadn't heard her, she shouted his name and ran after him. She got to him before he could reach for the door and hugged his waist.

She frantically looked around and realized no one else was in the ward.

"Please don't leave me!" She cried. The door opened. Her step mother Sierra and her dad Thanatos Bones walked in. She let go of his waist that moment.

Clark used the chance and walked out of the ward. She was visible startled when she saw them. The two of them unanimously turned to look at Samantha.

Sierra wlked up to Samantha and slapped the check on her face.

"Ah!"

She let out a piercing scream and moved back like a fightened kitten.

"The nerves of this stupid woman! How dare you do this to us"

She moved to Samantha and gave her another resounding slap.

"What are you doing?" Her husband quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"What! Do you feek sorry for her" she glared at him.

"She was supposed to save your company from bankruptcy but instead she got pregnant" she snapped viciously.

Anger surged through Samantha veins.

"How dare you get pregnant. What is wrong with you? Do you know how hard your father worked hard to achieved all you're enjoying. You imbecile. You're a disgrace to this family. The bastard you're carrying is nothing but a garbage" Sierra retorted.

"What!" Her lip curled up into a seer. She felt a tightness in her chest. Endless resentment and pain surged in her heart.

How dare she called her child a bastard and a garbage?

"You're now an object of laughter, scorned by society overnight. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Sierra sneered.

Samantha shook her head. She was seething with rage. It's all their fault too. They're to be blamed not her.

"Just shut up!" Samantha blurted out and she gasped.

"I wouldn't have gone out that night and get raped by a random guy if i wasn't put at the edge of getting married to someone i barely know then. So tell me, why should i take the blame?"she snorted.

Her family has always treated her like a piece of trash and she had been used to it. They always made things difficult for her but she endured.

But these two has crossed all their limits today.

"I'm not taking the blame. I was exchanged for a business deal without caring about my feelings. Don't you think I'm human?"

Her words echo in their ears. Her eyelids twitched a bit. She stared at her stepmon but she quickly avoided her inquiring gaze.

Their silence was an unspoken answer

Her jaw tightened. The blood on her face drained in an instant.

"You ungrateful witch. Since we done nothing for you, while don't you leave and start your miserable life somewhere else" Sierra said.

Her body froze. Her words sent shiver down her spin. Her head began to spin as the reality of the situation began ti slowly sink in.

"Leave caused my husband and i can't parent you with your unborn bastard"

Seirra words were like a bolt from the blue. She couldn't believe it. She laughed bitterly as she felt fbe excruciating pain in her chesg as if someone had stabbed her heart and plucked it out of her chest.

Samantha bite her lip to control her anger. The strong taste of blood snapped her back to her senses. She shook her head.

She didn't want to put up with the torture anymore.

"You know what, i disown you two too"

Her feeble voice lost its authority. The weight in her chest seemed to intensity as she barely breathe.

She felt dizzy.

She quickly turned around and headed to the door. Staying there for another second would only disgust her more.

Her legs grew heavy,but she didn't want to show her weakness in front of these people. The door was only steps away but she felt like it was so far away from her.

By the time she stepped out of the ward, she couldn't hold back the tears.

Tears streamed down her face. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot. She looked pitiful. Her heart leaped to her throat. She sniffed loudly and stroked her belly.

She covered her face and burst into tears. She couldn't believe she's pregnant for a stranger. She gritted her teeth as tge pain in her arm intensified but it's nothing compared to the wound in her heart.

She left the hospital and stumbled on the road.

A gush of cold wind brushed against her, making her shiver.

You will be dead as a doornail!” Richard was still shouting and cursing while he was pushed into the car. Jace frowned, subconsciously looking at Samantha. The cursed made Samantha looked cold. Jace raised his eyebrows slightly. “When did you arrange these things? You didn’t tell me anything.”“We’re business Patners for this project Mr. Jace.

Naturally, I have to deal with it whether being experienced in the field or not” Samantha said calmly. “You didn’t give him the chance to surrender himself! You’re such a ruthless woman.

    Chapter TenSamantha and Jace watched, waiting to hear their requests. “We understand that your project has already achieved this level, and relocation is a waste of money. How about 100 million dollars, then we will move the grave,” said the leading man while holding out a finger.“100 million dollars?” Jace was shocked. The man folded his arms as if they had already been gracious, saying, “If you make a relocation, you’ll lose more than a 100 million dollars. We have so many people in the village, and we will all be affected by the relocation of our ancestors’ graves. Losing money is a trivial matter. Once we get sick, this money will be essential to buy back our life!“Exactly! 100 million dollars is not much at all!”“We’re already being merciful. We gambled the lives of the whole village to help you save from losing more than on billion dollars. Don’t you be ignorant not knowing what’s good for yourself!”The scene went into an uproar.

    The car came to an halt right in front of Samantha’s Mansion. The atmosphere seems to be tensed as neither Sabastine nor Samantha would say a word to each other. “Sam….” He broke the silent. “You lied.. About the recommendations and online findings..” She uttered. “I…I…” he stuttered and Samantha interrupted as well. “You know I’m not even supposed to be mad. I guessed I expected more from you and you didn’t fail to disappoint” She said. Sabastine sighed. He’d fail her.“I’m so sorry Sam. I was going to tell you after the dinner. I only wanted you to rate the amazing meal without taking sides or wanting to pleased me knowing it’s mine. I only needed a sincere recommendation from you. I’m sorry that I lied”Samantha sighed. She never expected to take this far. Yes she was disappointed but on a second look, it wasn’t Sabastine that offended her tonight but Claire. “Forget it. It doesn’t matter. I’ve made my promises to you and I think we should keep our distance from now on”Sabast

    “Ha. Ha..haaa”Claire suddenly laughed as she looked from the security man to Bianca. She looked back to Samantha and pointed a finger at her. “How can you say this scheme of a woman here is a guest to the manager!” She blurted and added quickly. “How ridiculous!”Samantha couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She was getting irritated already. “And…And I’m the manager wife. Are you saying my husband brought this woman here?” She asked and the security man furrowed his brows. He knew his boss was single. Not even in a relationship nor alone married. “I don’t know what you’re spouting miss. I’ll suggest you’ve your meal peacefully and leave instead of causing choas here” he said. “Claire, what’s happening?. I thought your husband owns this place?” Bianca muttered out. Oh no!Claire thought. She can’t possibly loose face in front of Bianca!“Of course! Davis owns here”She replied and pointing at the security man, she continued. “This man here seems new. He possibly don’t know my husband

Where’s Axle?” She asked while removing her heels. “Sleeping ma’am “The maid responded. “She had dinner?”“Little Miss insisted on waiting for you but I made her eat a little ma’am” She said. “Alright. Thank you” Samantha muttered and headed straight to Axle room. Gina had informed her earlier that she will be going on a date. Samantha opened the door slowly to avoid making any sound. Axle was fast asleep with a book above her head. She dropped her bag beside the bed and proceeded to join Axle on the bed. Little Axle sighed as if sensing her mother’s present. Samantha covered them both with a duvet and wrapped her arm around Axle. She didn’t want to think about anything. Not Davis. Not Claire. She was just gonna pretend she never met with any of them tonight. “I won’t let them hurt you. Momma promise” she whispered as she peck Axle on her cheek.
