All Chapters of I Got Married, SO WHAT?!: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

During the dinner, Sam and Claude played the perfect couple in love, fawning over one another, even putting food in each other's mouth, feeding one another and giggling.They frustrated everyone in there with their antics.And of course, with a dinner of such high and mighty people, there's bound to be some gossip the next day.It rocked the business world that Claude has settled down.Not only them, every beautiful female who ever had eyes on him aand of course, his employees who were all throwing the "I told you so" line with reference to the closeness between the two the day before.Although, that morning seemed perfect...Sam opens her eyes dramatically, her clothes missing from her body and she's covered in a big white blanket in a completely unrecognizable room. "Where am I?" She asks herself, her eyes wide with trepidation. She smacks her own head. "Where the fuck are you now? What have you gotten yourself into? You should stay away from anything intoxicating for the rest of y

Later that day, Claude returns home and meets the place empty.Samantha had left before he returned.He sighs and goes back to the living room to take a seat, worried for her sake.What could the woman have done to deserve such hate? Not only from her own family now but almost everyone around her.Thinking of that, he dials Elena. "Yes sir?""Where's the footage I asked you to analyze and get for me?""I had it on top of your desk today but since you were not in...""Send it to me now."While waiting, he goes to get a glass of water from his kitchen and sees a memo stuck on his fridge.Smiling slightly, he plucks it off the cold metal and reads it."Thank you very much for everything. I guess I'll see you again..." Signed "your fiancee."He laughs, his mood boosted up ten times.He grabs his phone, muttering to himself. "I need to make some calls and urgent changes before work begins next week."While he's furiously typing on his phone, he receives a video message from Elena which he

Claude glances at her through the rear view mirror. "I don't know actually. I just didn't feel like."Sam dips her hand into her bag and produces a tie clip with a platinum lion and an almost illegible carved name. "C.W. I don't know why I never thought it could have been you. I've kept it since then, it was the only thing I had left from that... Unfortunate night.""Unfortunate?""That same night then into the next day, I lost many things. My family, my integrity, my name.""Let me ask you one thing, don't you think sooner or later, you would have lost them?"Sam frowns. "What do you mean by that?""Isn't it better that you found out before the marriage? What if you caught Mark and Taylor later when you're married? Won't that be worse?""Hm. I never thought of it that way but you're right. I should be happy for all I've got now right?"Claude smiles. "In plain words, be happy you have me. My name will replace the one you lost."Samantha laughs. "You know you can be a proud little nar

Inside his room, he shuts the door behind himself and produces his phone from his pocket. He opens his messaging app and he does not even have to search up her name before he sees the tons of messages she had sent him.They were almost thirty individual messages, starting right from the day of the wedding, evening time. She had sent him a text message which, now that he reads it, he has tears forming in his eyes.“What injustice have I done to her.” He mutters under his breath as he reads the message, scrolling down. And as he reads each one of them, more tears form in his eyes and slowly, they begin to drop down from his eyes.“Dad, I got a job today. I love you.” This one had come in the midnight.“Dad, you looked really handsome in your suit yesterday. Wear suits like that more often, they suit you.” This one had come just yesterday, the day after the dinner where he had looked at her with disdain.Andrew Stiles knocks himself over and over again, asking himself why he had not beli

When his car finally pulls up in front of her shared apartment with Renee, the silence already got burdening but neither of them decided to break it.“Thank you for the ride.” Samantha mutters as she pulls softly on the door’s handle.“Wait.” Claude suddenly says, his brows somewhat furrowed together, not enough to be a frown though. “You said you don’t want to be someone’s special lie? I completely respect that but to me, you are no lie. There are many coincidences in life, admittedly, but this…?” He entwines his hand with hers and pulls it up till it’s her eye level, “Being able to touch me at will when not even my own grandfather can? That makes you more than ordinarily special to me, you are not a special lie and even if we are about to tell a lie for a year, you are my only special lie.”Her stomach drops.“I’ll go inside now.”He nods but she makes no move to leave. He raises one eyebrow at her and she glances at his hands, still holding hers quite firmly.“Oh.” He lets go hesi
