In the car, Charles told Sam to avoid Kelly in the future. He was afraid that Kelly would do something bad again to her.
Sam did not ask why as she understands his reason. She also thought that Kelly had put something on her drink that’s why she felt dizzy suddenly and fainted after a few sips.
In the middle of their trip, Sam could not help but fall asleep again. While Charles was in deep thought. He was thinking what Harvey Johnson told him earlier. It seemed like a warning. He clenched his fist. Although at the back of his mind, he was thankful to Harvey for saving Sam from that man. If not for him, he could not imagine what happened to Sam.
The next day, Sam went to work early and got busy as usual. She had lunch with Charles in his office. Eve
Sam invited Cindy for a drink. She was so heartbroken that she needs someone to vent out her feelings.“Hello, Cindy? Let’s drink.”“Sam, did something happen? Why did you suddenly invite me for a drink?” Cindy knew her very well.“Are you coming with me or not?” Sam was not in the mood to explain on the phone. She just wanted a straight answer.“Sure.” Cindy immediately agreed.Sam and Cindy went together to City Bar. While drinking, Sam told Cindy what she witnessed earlier. Cindy was astounded by what she heard.“I was right, he returned to avenge me. I was so stupid. I knew it from the start but I still believed h
Charles just came out of the elevator when he heard a shout. He immediately went over after he recognized Sam’s voice. He saw Sam who was struggling even though she was no match to Robert’s strength. He promptly grabbed Robert by his shoulder and punched him so hard.Robert was caught unprepared so he fell to the ground. He held his left cheek that was swollen. He stood up in an instant and hit back but Charles was so fast that he was able to avoid his fist. Charles hit him again one after another. Robert was not able to hit back anymore and fell again.While Sam was so shocked, her body trembled and her knees went weak. She suddenly kneeled on the ground and looked at the man who suddenly appear and was surprised to see that it was Charles. When Charles noticed her, he left Robert and immediately walked into her. He picked her up and entered her room.Robert was left on the ground with his swollen face. There’s a trace of blood on his lips. He gritted his teeth an
Five years ago, a month after Charles and Sam first met.Charles passed by the university where Sam was studying after he attended a client meeting nearby. He could not understand himself, as if there was a magnetic force that was pulling him to drive here. He parked near the entrance looking at the students walking out the large gate.‘What was I doing here?’ He thought to himself. After that night when he first saw Sam, he could not forget her beautiful face. He always wanted to see her again. He would park his car in the bus stop where he sent her off for no reason and he even went to the university where she was studying. But he never had the chance to see her even once. He believed that it was impossible for him to see Sam this time as well.Charles was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure. He stared at Sam who was walkin
Sam was stunned by Charles’ remarks and was not able to respond. She could feel the heat rising to her face. She immediately avoided his gaze while Charles turned his attention back to the road. She took her phone from her bag to make herself busy. She browsed again the online shopping app she was checking earlier. However, her mind was not on her phone but was filled by Charles and his earlier statement.After a moment, they arrived at the nearest mall to the university. Sam felt uncomfortable the whole journey, so she was able to feel easy the time they entered the mall.Charles led her to a fine dining restaurant.“Wait,” Sam said as she tugged at his sleeve. Obviously, she was reluctant to enter the place. From its look, she knows that she could not afford to pay even a single order of meal in this kind of restaurant.“Don’t worry, I will pay this time. Pay me back once you have the money.”Charles winked his eye at her. He was aware of what s
Sam looked up to the man in front of her. She met his soulful blue set of eyes. The man was Jules, one of the famous varsity players in their university. His good looks and 6 feet height made him popular with most of the girls in the university.“Sorry, I don’t dance.” Sam politely refused. She lowered her head as she felt uneasy by his magnetic stare.“Sam, why don’t you dance with Jules? You are wasting the night by just standing here.” Olivia convinced her then put her hand to Jules.Sam was still hesitant but Olivia pushed them to the dance floor.Jules smiled mischievously while placing her hands on his shoulders and held her waist. They were so closed to each other while moving their body slowly to the sound of the music.Sam was feeling anxious as she never danced before like this. Furthermore, the dance made her dizzy, she could feel her head spinning as they move. She lowered her head
Subsequently, Sam and Charles got close together. They often went out on a date and had the chance to get to know each other well.After a couple of months, Sam passed the CPA Examination and got a job eventually at MY Corporation.Throughout the time, Charles was patiently waiting for Sam’s decision.And all his efforts have not gone in vain, Sam accepted his love.Everything went smoothly between them as they love each other so dearly. Charles was able to introduce Sam to his mother while Sam introduced him to her mother and brother as well.Charles could tell already that she is “The One” for him. Therefore, he decided to propose marriage to her on their first anniversary. Unfortunately, Sam ran away from him.Back to the present.Sam spent the remaining days of her vacation with her mother. It has been a while since she went home. Thus, she
However, his mother left them for another man. He did not mind the disappearance of his mother since she never treated him as her own child. He always felt that she was not her real mother.Although he knew that his father loved him and really cared for him, he still sensed that something was missing. He asked his father several times if they were really his parents but he did not admit nor deny it. It was a big question mark for him.After his mother left, his father tried to be strong for him. He worked part-time as a family driver to feed him. But he later died due to a heart attack when he was 12 years old.Fortunately, the family that his father used to drive was kind and allowed him to work for them as a janitor and gardener. In return, they let him stayed in their house.When he turned 18, he looked for another job for a better income. He went to different places and met different kinds of people.
“His neck trauma might result to a little difference in his voice like hoarseness or no effect at all. It's not that serious. What really concerned us was his head injury. But we can only do proper evaluation once he woke up.”Sam just nodded her head indicating that she understood. Then, she glanced at Charles who was still in deep sleep.The doctor asked her pieces of information and instructed her some things on how to take care of the patient before he left. While Kelly also asked to leave.Sam was left in a daze. She could not believe that Charles was now lying on the hospital bed.After a while, she looked for her phone to call her mother. She was going to inform her about what happened to Charles.“Where did I put it?” She searched it inside her bag and on the table but it was nowhere to be found.“Sigh.” She could not remember where did she put it or if she left
