Все главы When Storm Meets Hail : Глава 91 - Глава 100

From the corner of my eyes, I could see the way Lucas seethed with frustration, his jaw tensed. I guessed this was the time to do everything possible to diffuse the anger and the tension that was threatening to escalate. The painful thing was the stupid look on Andres' face. He looked so happy, like he really had gained the edge over Lucas. I held on to the hope that Lucas would calm down and handle the situation."Hey." I said, forcing a smile across my lips while I tugged at my pulsing wrist for support. It was obvious they were bent on taunting Lucas to see how far he could go unprovoked. Well, I wasn't going to take chances at all. Stepping slightly in front of Lucas to face Andres and Audrey, my voice was calm but assertive while greeting them."Audrey...and Andres. I'm so happy to meet you guys, I've been waiting all this for a moment like this. How are you both doing?" I asked, angling my head to the side while pulling out a hand to shake him. The smirk on Andres' face didn't f

The rest of the drive back home happened in silence safe for the thumping beats of our hearts against its ribcage. I made to get down from the car when he pulled me back by the hands. I sucked in a breath and lifted my eyes to face him. We stayed in this position for a few minutes before he ran his fingers lazily across my face. My lips curled up in a smile– it's okay. I mouthed.He didn't have to say anything for me to understand his hurt, how he was feeling right now for me, being in a relationship with Lucas wasn't just about the sex and orgasmic sweetness it was about who he truly was. I loved him not for what he does, I loved him because aside every other thing his soul was imperfectly perfect for me and that was all that mattered.We got down from the car and walked hand in hand to the house, except for the clicking of her shoes against the marble staircase, the house was silent."Lucas…" he placed a finger on my lips, to cut me off."Shh.. pumpkin it's okay. This has nothing to

The drive to the office happened in near silence except for the sound of our breaths. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the sadness in her eyes and how much she tried to push it back. With one hand I reached for hers and laced them into mine, she held on to them firmly and with vulnerability."We could have lunch later today huh?" I switched the conversation to ease the tension.Her breath shallowed, she tilted her head to face me. "That'll be nice, although I have lots of paperwork to do at the office,"Trust Samantha to always go out of her way even though it was overbearing, "You need rest. How about a weekend in Greece," I said when she visibly swallowed, "Or any country of your choice," I added.She forced a smile across her lips, "It's not a bad idea," her face lit up by half an ounce.My heart burned at the thought that it was because of me–or someone close to me– she was sad. "It'll do you a lot of good to take the weekend off and watch the sunset in a different country,"S

It's been two days. Two days of bumping into that monster during his call, two days of torture and being on high alert. I was going to figure out what exactly their deal was. I just needed to get Samantha out of the way.Andres was the right person to know Samantha's location at any freaking time. I didn't want to go ghetto on him…just yet. Now wasn't the time for casual actions. I didn't know what exactly he was planning or how well he was bent on hatching his plan, more reason I needed to be careful and get the bait out of the way.I pulled over at the garage. I'd made a hurtful decision but that was the best till I made other plans. I got out of the car, my throat dry with so much exhaustion and anger. God help Andres not to see me in this state. I clenched my fist at the mental image of the pain I'll inflict on him.For once, since Samantha came into my life going to her arms, seeing her face lit up when I entered had never been as difficult as it was now. I ascended the stairs sl

I'd barely pulled over at the restaurant garage when my phone rang. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the caller's ID– a private emergency number.I sucked in a breath and stared at the screen for a little over ten seconds. Different thoughts raced through my mind, did something go wrong at the charity? Was anyone hurt? Or was it a mistake?I shoved aside the thought and clicked on the green button. I exhaled sharply and brought the phone to my ears. "Hello…" my voice seeped with agitation.A husky, masculine voice spoke, "Good day ma'am. I suppose this is Samantha Hall,"Even though I'd have preferred he referred to me as Storm, now wasn't the right time to do that and, for the most part I wondered how he got to know my name, "Yes, good day this is Samantha Hall. How may I help you?"He sighed, "I have a bad news for you,"Thump. Thump. Thump.My heartbeat spiraled out of control. Bad news? This was the least thing I needed to the much I had on my plate. "Okay go ahead," I said in a
