“Welcome back Miss Samantha…” The maid greeted as Samantha entered her Villa. “Thank you. 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. She shut her eyes and let the sleep cloud he
Davis stared at her intensively, repeating the same question “Do you have an unsettled business with me?”Just the scene earlier was enough reason to believe she do. A while ago he was so engrossed with this woman that he didn’t even noticed that Claire had left his side. And then the scenario that played out between this woman and his wife. There was no doubt, this woman had some unfinished business with him especially with the way she treated Claire earlier. For hell sake, everyone saw it was a mistake but instead, she decided to retaliate. Furrowing her brows, Samantha uttered loudly. “Let go!”“Have you gone nut! How dare you show your disgusting self here!” She sneered bitterly trying to free her hand from his. “I’m not letting you go Mrs. Samantha not until you tell me what I’ve done to offend you” he said, meaning every word. “Get your fucking hands off you” Samantha finally pushed him off. She laughed out and shook her head. She was so pissed but on the second thought,
The next evening, Samantha prepared herself for the party. She didn’t want to go but Gina persuaded her. According to Gina, she had shut herself from the outside world long enough. She’d always use work to keep herself busy. It’s been years but she’d never thought of giving someone else a chance. But maybe attending Mr. Sabastine birthday party wasn’t that bad. He was a business partner after all. For the first time in ages, Samantha picked out a rose-red dress she loved, switched to contact lenses, and put on makeup.“A fancy cruise ship birthday party” Gina muttered as she enters the room. “According to my research, wealthy and influential people from all walks of life will be there. I heard some well-known celebrities, were boarding the ship one after another, dressed to the nines. You might find one lucky guy there Sammy.” She said and Samantha rolled her eyes. “I wished I could go but invitations are limited. Mr. Sabastine might really be interested in you for inviting you h
TWO WEEKS LATERInside the office, Samantha read over the contract with critical eye, making notes and revisions along the way. There was so much work to be done. She’d spend two weeks at the hospital watching over Axle, leaving loads of work pilling at the office. But she care less. When it comes to Axle, everything else comes second. She sighed. At least Axle was much better now and also, she had not set eyes on Davis since that day. It has helped her in one way to calm her nerves. She grabbed her coffee cup and place it between her lips. She took a sip as she kept on with the revisions of the note she prepared. As an expert in this field, Samantha prided here’s on her attentions to detail and linguistic process. Every word and sentence had to be precise and captivating, appealing to both the intellect and the heart. Her approyhis work with a fervent dedication to crafting a composition that excused enigmatic complexity and linguistic dynamism. Through the use of unconventio
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY“Fuck me! Yeah, baby, that’s it!”“You’re so sweet Sierra!”Lucien Bones (Samantha father) stood in the doorway of their bedroom. Someone was in there having his wife in their matrimonial bed. The woman he married with his own money but he couldn’t do anything about it. He was crippled and she’s the breadwinner of the family now. The horror and torture encompassing him at this moment was second to none. For a moment, he regretted ever agreeing to chase Samantha away. If only his baby girl was still here. She would have looked over him. She would have never allow his wife to bring in another man into his home but he had no one to blame but himself. He failed her. He allowed his wife manipulate him. When his baby girl needed him the most, he turned his back on her. He did nothing but rather watched his wife sold her out. If only he could turned back the hands of time. The door opened on its own and nothing could blind his eyes from the awful visual he was expos
“Leave Davis. I don’t want to see you here ever again!” Samantha uttered and Davis jaw dropped. “What!. You just can’t send me away. Your baby got hit by my car and I need to take responsibility” he said stubbornly and Samantha scoffed. “I’ve to be here. At least till she wake up” he added. Samantha shook her head in dismay. This was the same man that did nothing when Alexander died. This was the same man that shows no sympathy towards her and her dead son. Such a pretentious person!He’s just here because he had no memory of her!Or probably because she’d changed and he couldn’t recognize her. “You’re not worthy to be here. Leave now that I’m still nice cause your next minute here, I’ll make sure you rot in jail- where people like you belongs!” She sneered disgustedly. “Sir Davis, I’ll advice you leave” The doctor finally chipped in. “But……”“Just leave. Get out!!!” Samantha barked, pushing him out of the ward and banging the door right on his face. “Just leave!!” She finally b
