He escorted Samantha to her car, kissed her goodnight.**Samantha got home after dark. She couldn't stop touching and staring down at the golden neck chain. She was so touched, she felt loved and cherished.Just as soon as she stepped into her room, a call came from Ethan, her manager."It's late, Ethan. Can it wait till tomorrow?" She asked.Ethan scoffed from the other line. "i can't believe you are saying this to me. You didn't even bother to call me before leaving the studio. Why? Because of that guy?"Samantha dropped her bag on her bed, sat down. "Hold on a minute. What's your problem with Tristan? Do you guys know each other before now?'"I've never met him before, Samantha. That isn't what we are talking about. I'm talking about the fact that you forgot to be in touch with me all because of him.""Good night Mr Welch. I can't have this argument with you right now. I'm tired." Gianna cut the call before Ethan would say anything else.She sighed, her fingers still romancing th

"No. No. It's just a coincidence." Tristan said out loud but even as he said that, he still couldn't stop thinking of the possibilities."Boss? Is everything okay?" Matteo asked, looking up at the screen. "What happened to her?" He added when he saw Layla crying while Gianna comforted her.Tristan was silent. He shook his head and stop up. "Turn everything off." He ordered and left the room.Matteo shrugged and did as he was told. **"Tristan! I didn't hear from you yesterday!" Samantha said happily as she conversed with Tristan on the phone. It was morning and she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom."Was busy. How are you my lady?""I'm fine Tristan. Did you checked the NTA news? God.....we are trending." Samantha said with deep breaths."I see." Tristan mumbled."Since it's a Saturday. Can you come over? Let's spend time together. Please..... don't say no. I have something to tell you too."Tristan was silent for a while. "Sure." He finally answered.Samantha gasped. "Really?

Samantha got to the guest house and met her mom speaking to someone over the phone. She decided to wait outside the door."Yeah. She's still as stubborn as always. Yeah. Come on Quentin, you know I love my daughter so much. I wish she can just come with me so we can live as o e family. Drake and Debby are also excited about seeing her. I will try convincing her again. Yeah."Samantha stood outside the door, listening to her mom. She rolled her eyes and walked in. She stood in front, folded her arms and shook her head. "Huh.... Quentin....let me call you back." Agnes said and cut the line. She put the phone down beside her, glanced up at her daughter. "Sammy....""Who were you talking to about me?" "That was your step father. He wants me to come back with you because I was always worried about you."Samantha rolled her eyes again. "Mom....I can't leave dad behind and I can't leave my current contract behind too. They mean a whole lot to me. Why can't you just understand?" "And what

"Yes. Kidney." Layla said again, looked around.Gianna gasped, tore her eyes from Layla. Now that explains the blood she saw that very day when she tripped with the food flask."I can't believe this." Gianna mumbled, shaking her head slowly."I was shocked too. It was like a dream. I was so scared. Scared to my bone marrows.""Who's Jasper Milton?" Gianna whispered. She was unspeakably frightened, heavenly scared. She glanced from side to side, scared that someone would jump on her from the dark."He's Harley Finley's long time friend and partner.""My God. Does this mean.....they are into killing people? But....how do they do it? I've never seen it happen....never seen anyone brought in. How....?""The red garden." Layla interrupted softly. Gianna stopped, looked at Layla with her her eyes widened. "The red garden? It has something to do with it, right? There's something about it right?""The red garden is not ordinary. It's full of....poison.""Ahh!!" Gianna shouted unconsciously

Leah was waiting in thr car for Nelson. She jumped on him when he joined her, kissing his neck, undressing him immediately. Since it was dark, she didn't have any problem about being shameless."Hey....easy. Easy." Nelson whispered against her lips, grabbing her arms."Just....touch me." Leah panted."Let's get out of here." Nelson said, started the car engine and drove out of the compound.**Tristan sat behind the wheel as he drove fast on the road. It was almost 10 pm in the night. He was driving to Samantha's house. He needed to get Gianna and Layla out of the house, before Nelson could get back and kill them. He needed to keep them alive. They were his only way of getting all the information he needed. Especially Layla. He'd heard everything he told the boys before he went out with Leah.Tristan took his phone, dialled Leah's line. "Still with him?""Yeah. I added something to his drink. He's not going home anytime soon." Leah's voice sounded very slow and low. "Sorry for soun
