When Charles met Sam, he believed that it’s not by chance nor by accident. He knew that there’s a reason behind it.
And the reason was that Sam would be needing his care and protection. Thus, he felt glad that he was able to fulfill it.
Charles continued. “That we’re destined to be together, aren’t we?”
Sam was not able to reply. She remembered when Harvey also asked her about destiny.
Charles glanced at her while he parked his car in front of Sam’s house.
After a moment, Sam asked. “Do you believe in destiny?”
“Of course, if not what do you think was the reason why we met that night? I don’t usually spend late at night in the office and I’m sure you don’t usually sleep on the bus.” Charles sounds a little cheesy.
“Hmm. Maybe, it’s really destiny.” Sam was still skeptical but she agreed.
“By the way, my dad would be visiting us this weekend. He
Sam was stunned. She has no idea what Mrs. Davidson was talking about. She just guessed that Bella must be Charles’s ex-girlfriend but he did not mention it to her.“Sorry, Auntie but may I know who’s Bella?” Sam asked curiously. She was interested to know her.“She was the first woman brought here by Charles. At first, I like her because she looked nice and simple. Until one day, I discovered her true color. I saw her with another man. So, I made an investigation about her. Then, I found out that she has a boyfriend who she really loves. And that she was just using Charles because of his wealth.” Mrs. Davidson explained.Sam felt a little jealous when she learned about Bella. All this time, she thought that she’s the first woman in Charles’s life.‘She must be his first love.’ She thought. Now she understands why Mrs. Davidson was cold towards her before. She could not just trust that easily because of that previou
Sam just ignored Charles. She stood up and fixed herself.While Charles was disappointed again but he understands and respects Sam.In this time that several couples engage in premarital sex, he admired her more because of her principle thatno sex before marriage. Moreover, he loves her so dearly, thus, he’s willing to wait until they got married.The following week, Charles and Sam got busy with their work.In spite of their tight schedule, they managed to spend dinner with Mrs. Wilson. They informed her that they are engaged already and soon to get married.At first, Mrs. Wilson was shocked. Although she prepared herself for it, she did not expect that the feeling would be different the moment they announced it personally to her. But of course, she accepted it nicely since Sam was at the right age already.Then, they scheduled to have dinner with Charles's parents on Friday
Charles stared at Sam. He could feel that something happened earlier as she looked embarrassed the moment she saw him.“Y-yeah, I thought it was you who opened the door for me,” Sam confessed.“So, what happened?” Charles was interested to know.“I-I held his hand,” Sam mumbled as she lowered her head. She was ashamed of what she did.Charles’s brows drew together. “Then?”“Then, we sat down on the couch. That’s when I learned that he was Steve and not you and then you came.” Sam explained defensively.Charles turned silent and did not ask more questions which made Sam anxious."Hon, sorry. I won’t let it happen again. Let's just forget about it okay?” told Sam as she does not want to cause a feud between the siblings. Besides, it was her fault that she did not confirm first.“Alright, I’ll let it pass this time. Drive safely. I’ll see you t
Sam was horrified to see Kelly. She recalled what she did to her on the mountain and when she pointed a gun at her. Then, a familiar cold feeling washed over her again.Nevertheless, she pulled herself together. She thought that she would not allow Kelly to do something nasty again against her.“What are you doing here?” Sam asked frigidly.“I learned that it’s your engagement party. So I came to congratulate you.” Kelly said with an innocent smile on her face.Charles knitted his brows as he moved in front of Sam to protect her from Kelly. “You should be in prison. How did you get out of jail?”“I filed a motion for bail. Luckily, it was granted. Don't worry, I won’t trouble you from now on. I promise.” Kelly explained as she raised her right hand.“Don’t speak nonsense. Once a bad guy always a bad guy.” Cindy exclaimed in anger.Some guests near them were look
The driver of the white Toyota Camry who crashed Sam's car beat the red light. Mrs. Wilson called Sam’s attention but it was too late already.Sam‘s mind went blank when she glimpsed at the car about to slam her car.It happened so fast that the Toyota Camry rammed into her passenger’s side.The impact of the collision was tremendous and the smash itself was very disorienting. It’s very loud.After the crash, there is a moment of silence. An extreme silence like a piercing sound in one’s ear. Everything becomes still and quiet right after the clash.Nonetheless, Sam’s mind was in chaos. Several questions run through her head.‘What just happened.....?’‘Am I still alive....?’‘My mom!’The moment she recovered her senses, she slowly turned her head. She glanced at her mom on the passenger seat and saw her unconscious with blood on her entire face.
Meanwhile, in the western city, there was a man in a dark room with his hands and feet tied up on the bed. He was listening to the voices outside the room that seemed to be fighting.“I made everything clear. We agreed that you won’t do anything without my consent. But what did you do? You harm Sam without my knowledge." The man exclaimed. He was so mad that Sam’s life was put in danger.“Why are you so agitated by what I have done? Does it matter to you?” The woman questioned him raising her brow. She was wondering why he was so furious about what she did.“Yes, it matters to me because she’s going to be my wife.” He answered as he violently grabbed her arm.“Huh? Who are you trying to fool? Don’t forget that you’re just pretending to be Charles.” The woman laughed at him contemptuously as she swayed her arm from his grasp.“Who cares? They won't know. Besides, I’ll be the one who will marry her so
Afterward, Kelly entered the room smiling sweetly at Charles. Then, she sat down beside him.“How are you, sweetheart? If you only chose me, we will not reach this point.” Kelly said as she stroke down her fingers from his face to his chest.Charles hated it but he tried to endure it. “Why Kelly? Do you really love me? No, you don’t love me for real. Because you only love yourself!”“Charles, what are you saying? I love you with all my heart. That’s why I don’t want you to be with another woman.” Kelly uttered then she laid down her head on Charles’s chest and hugged him.Charles closed his eyes in annoyance. He wanted to push her but his hands were tied up.He took a deep breath and mumbled softly.“If you really love me, you won’t treat me this way. I’ll be forever grateful if you help me to get out of here. We can be together after this if you want.”Kelly sat straight a
Sam was feeling restless. She could not think of any reason for Steve to pretend as Charles.However, she felt strange since Charles was acting differently. She knows that he won’t interfere with her decision especially about work. He knows very well how she loves her job.Henceforth, there was something in her heart that tells her that he was not Charles but her mind could not deny that he was definitely him.'I need to find it out.' She told herself.After Sam got some clothes and personal stuff, she went back to the hospital.When she got down the car, she saw Charles‘s car leaving the hospital. She guessed that he visited her but he left shortly since she was not there.Sam took her phone from her bag to call Charles and inform him that she’s back. However, she suddenly decided to follow him instead because she wanted to resolve her doubt once and for all.Sam a
