MANUEL'S POVI awoke to find myself cuddled in bed with a body that didn't feel as soft as Samantha felt. I sat up abruptly staring around my surroundings to make sense of where I was and why I was naked.Memories of last night came flooding back into my mind.***FLASHBACK***"Marcella, what happened here?"I asked as I stepped into the mess.Her living room was in shambles.I had run as fast as possible when I had received her distress message.I found her huddled in the far end of the corner in tears.As soon as I had gone to her ,she had wrapped her arms around my neck,trembling as she sobbed."Who did this?Tell me!"I growled.She said nothing.She just sobbed into my arms.I ran my hand down her back to comfort her.she pulled more into me."I'm sorry I just cried like that.It's just the first time I was experiencing all this "She apologized.We were seated on her couch as I brought water to her in a glass.Thank goodness they hadn't raided the kitchen.The bulk of the mess was

MANUEL'S POV "What do you mean she's missing "I said into the receiver as I called Rick."She didn't come back home last night.Martha just called and she isn't at work either"Rick said, with worry evident in his voice."Then where the hell would she be?"I said running a hand through my hair in frustration."Maybe we could track her cellphone"he suggested. "But wait, it says here that her location is jammed"He added."So it would not be possible to track her"I responded."But we have to..."I paused as a message popped up on my phone screen."Hold on"I said before tapping the message open .It was a picture of Samantha interlocked with an unknown man naked."That can't be"I muttered."Is something wrong?"Rick asked bringing me back."Yes,everything's fine.I will just have to pull all my resources together and ..."I tried to form coherent words but they were not forthcoming.My cellphone rang.It appeared to be from a landline."Hello?"I asked as I picked up the call.T

MANUEL'S POV "Shit!"I don't know why I had lost it in there.Probably because I let my pride and jealously get the beat of me even when Rdyer had advised me against me accusing her without confirming first.I didn't want to.I wasn't a saint either and I wasn't blaming her.I was blaming myself. All I did was a transfer of aggression and it hurt that my words had affected her so much.But I couldn't get past that fact.I couldn't envision someone's else being with my mate.Trying to covet what was mine.I had to find out the truth myself.So pulling out my phone,indicated the ine person that I knew would offer a solution to the dilemma that I was in right now."Hi Micheal,did you have a moment?"I asked. "Yeah,anything for you.what's up?is something wrong? What happened to Ryder?"she said."Woah,just slow down there tiger.Rdyer is fine.Its for me."I told him.I heard him breathe a sigh of relief."What's up?"He asked."I need you to do some facial recognition investigation on t

MANUEL'S POVI had been in meetings after meeting all day trying to keep my mind off my imploding relationship with Samantha. It's been over two weeks now and our relationship h aga d become strictly professional.We only talked when we were in the same space and stayed in silence when we were alone.The only other words I had spoken outside work was the occasional pleasantries when I came over to see my kids.On some days she avoided me.On other days she gave the excuse that she wasn't feeling too well and disappeared into her room tight after I arrive.It got on my nerves but I knew I needed to give her some space as advised from Rdyer and Micheal who had reprimanded me for my disgusting behaviour towards her.I had betrayed her trust and she would need a lot of time to at least give me the opportunity to regain her trust back .All day,thoughts of her had plagued my mind.I couldn't concentrate because of her.That's why I had to do this.I thought aloud as my hands gripped the steer

MANUEL'S POV I stared at the blood that had stained her night gown.I had never expected her to say the words that shattered my world."You're pregnant?"I ran to hold her as she staggered back about to fell to her knees. Martha came bounding out of room and towards us.I instructed her to stay and to watch over the kids while I take her to the hospital."Samanatha"I called as I wheeled her in unconscious. The nurses took her on a trolley into the emergency room."Sir we urge you to wait here for us to do our jobs."Its my fiance that's in there!"I busted out."I understand but you need to be strong for her"The nurse said before running into the room.I waited outside for hours as they attended to her.I paced the length of the lobby until she was eventually brought out.The doctor stopped just short behind the trolley to address me."Am sorry to tell you but there is a high risk of miscarriage.And I suggest you be there to support her as she works through it."He told me.
