Samantha's POV
"Don't you like it enough to stay here?" I chuckled at his expression.
"No...uhm..yeah... I mean..." He stuttered, unable to state his opinion in one piece. I believe my question caught him off guard.
"Why would you want me to live with you?" He asked.
"Well, not with me actually cause I won't be living here for too long." I answered.
"What? Why?" He snapped. "Are you moving again?"
"No," It was amusing how he suddenly looked pissed off when he asked his questions. "I'll be living with someone else now."
He let out an "oh!"
"So it just came to my mind that you might just stay here and act like you own it." I chuckled.
"Why should I act like I own it?" He frowned and I sighed. If I really wanted him to help him out, I'd have to explain things to him without giving out much information. If I do not, I doubt if Nate would just accept t
Samantha's POVA loud sound woke me up and I jerked out of my deep slumber. The moment I opened my eyes, I realized I couldn't see a thing. My mind went blank but I didn't get the chance to panic though because my mind and brain suddenly came to life to realize that it was dark and it was nighttime already.The continuous tone that filled the entire room brought me back to the fact that it was what woke me up. I stood up from the bed and tried to search for my phone, using the little ray of light that existed in the room and the sound from the phone."Ouch!" I winced when I hit my leg against something I couldn't make out. "Where's the damn phone? I should at least see it with it's light."Bearing the sting, I eventually found my phone on the nightstand. I realized it was placed face down and the moment I picked it up, the light from the screen shone in the room but went off instantly.Before I co
Adrian's POV"Boss," Alexander bowed immediately he entered my living room. "Morning, Alex. What's up?" I inquired when I noticed his expression. "I've just got an information from one of our men that's on young Miss' trail." I sat up from the couch when I heard him mention Emilia. "What news? Is she okay?" "She moved into Ryan Anderson's house.""What?"I stood to my feet in annoyance. Why on earth would Emilia do that? Why does she want to risk her life while getting revenge? "Are you sure about this?" I asked strictly. "Yeah, sir." Alex nodded. "It's bound to happen since she became his personal guard.""Yeah, that's true but..." I trailed off.Lia! I ran my fingers through my hair. What exactly are you trying to prove by moving in with him?"Any news about the other one?" "No, boss." I sighed and nodded in understanding. "I guess the person acts too perfect to leave any trace of his involvement." I
Samantha's POV“Sam!” I flinched in shock when I heard the familiar voice.“Please, don't let it be him!” My mind chanted pleadingly till I turned to look at the person almost at the same time Adrian did.I should have known that no Adrian, no problem. Every time he popped up, I had something to deal with.“Oh no!” I exclaimed inwardly when I noticed Philip's suspicious gaze as he walked closer to us.Thankfully, Adrian has moved away from me just in time for Philip to stop in front of us.“What are you doing here?”“I…um… I came to get my phone from the car.” I stuttered. “Yeah, my phone!”“Oh, …okay,” Philip answered hesitantly. He shifted his gaze to Adrian.“Mr. Adrian,” he smiled. I could see that it was forced.“All right, Sam
Sam's POV Morning came as fast as it could and the night before, I barely had an issue staying under Ryan's roof because despite the fact that we stay together, we never crossed paths. Dinner would have been the issue but thankfully, Ryan made sure I ordered dinner for us before we got home. This morning, I got his call via the intercom informing me that he was ready to leave for work. I exited my room, ensured I locked the door before heading to the sitting room. It might be Ryan's house but that room is now mine and I can't afford to get caught because someone snitched on me after going through my belongings. I went to the car garage to get the car and before I got to the front of the building, Ryan was already waiting. I stopped the car in front of him and without waiting for me to get the door for him, he got in himself. I drove him to work before the rush hour would take its full effect. While he wo
Ryan's POV"Thanks for the meal, Sam." I appreciated the great cook. The meal was indeed tasty and I was sure Olivia enjoyed it too, judging from the smile on her face as she stared at Sam. "Olly, what do you say to uncle Sam?" I urged. "Thank you, Sam." "It's nothing, sir." Sam replied with a stoic look that never seems to fade from his face. He stood up to pack the plates and cups used."RRA, your friend hasn't smiled since I met him. Is he unhappy?" Olivia whispered to me but still loud enough for Sam to hear."No, baby." I chuckled. "By the way, you are beautiful." Sam paused. "Olivia, the word is 'handsome'." I laughed while she frowned. "I know but he doesn't..." "Olivia, thanks for the compliment. You're pretty as well." Sam smiled. Wow!"Excuse me, sir!" He said and disappeared round the corner and from the dining room, we could see him take care of the plates and cups. He came back few minutes later.
Samantha's POVIn the confined area I've been held hostage at, I paced up and down, throwing my fist into my palm once in a while. Ryan's guards stood around to keep an eye on me and I felt helpless. That feeling got me angry because of all things, I hated the feeling of helplessness. But anyone walking by would think we were just guards waiting on our boss. I had no idea that these guards would be here tonight. Their presence here definitely meant Ryan expected something would happen that needed their attention.I shut out the voices around me while I tried to think about what just happened. I was mystified at the sudden turn of things. Adrian couldn't possibly do that to me. "Even when he knew I despise him, he still loved me enough not to implicate me knowingly." I thought inwardly. My forehead creased when the pitiful look on my uncle's face reflected in my mind. I stopped in my track."Did he possibly know something was gonna happen to me today?"
Adrian's POVI stared at the girl who laid on the bed in front of me. Her lips looked dry and her face was pale. I rubbed her cheek with the back of my palm as I stared intently at her. I couldn't help but get worried about her pitiful state. She was going through a lot yet showed off fierceness."You came?" Her uncle had exclaimed when he saw me."I couldn't help it when I heard about her breakdown." I said to him. "How is she?""The doctor said she'll be fine. The past still hurts, you know.""You told her something?""She wanted to know but turned out she couldn't withstand the rush."I wanted to say something but I withheld myself. Besides, I literally had no idea what the past he talked about held so I nodded knowingly and went into the room she was sleeping in.Now here I was, staring right at the pretty face in front of me, that only looked calm in her
Samantha's POV With Christmas songs playing on a low pitch, I enjoyed the evening's cool breeze. I tucked in my hair that the wind kept blowing to my face of which I blamed myself for not bringing a hairband with me. Even though I had a book in my hand that I intended to read, I could barely concentrate because I had a lot on my mind. However, the atmosphere gave me a good escape from the troubles of the mind. With a low sigh, I dropped the book in my hands on my laps and sat back comfortably with my hands tucked across my chest. I lifted up my legs and rested them on the footstool. I closed my eyes to have few minutes of rest to relieve my troubled mind of the different thoughts that ran wildly through it, one of which was my relationship with Adrian and my plans with Ryan. But right before I could drift off to my short nap, I heard something that made me open my eyes. The sound was distant and I couldn't make it out.
