Semua Bab HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE: Bab 71 - Bab 79

Samantha was driven to Mr. Richard Blake’s house, the car pulling in with urgency. The horn startled Nathan, who jumped up and rushed to open the gate. The vehicle sped into the compound as someone escaping trouble. Nathan quickly locked the gate behind them, glancing around nervously, unsure if they were being followed.From the window upstairs, Richard caught sight of the car. His eyes narrowed.The way they entered unsettled Nathan. He watched closely, unsure of what was happening. As the car came to a stop, the door opened — but it wasn’t Samantha who stepped out.It was Julia.She moved with purpose, her expression unreadable. Richard watched her from above, confusion stirring inside him. “What’s going on?” he said quietly to himself.Then Julia’s voice rang out across the compound, calm but firm. “Bring her out.”“Bring her out?” Richard repeated, still watching from the window, puzzled by the urgency in Julia’s voice.Then he saw the car’s boot swing open.A young girl was yan

Nathan had taken his bath and surrendered to sleep, his breathing slow and even, as though the world outside no longer existed. The house was wrapped in a heavy stillness, broken only by the low, hypnotic hum of the ceiling fan in the living room.Samantha sat beside her mother, her hands folded in her lap, her eyes fixed on the floor.Lilian’s voice cut through the quiet like a blade drawn across glass. “How can a man choose to be so wicked? So heartless? No human feeling anymore. No matter the money they think they have, it will not be well with them — and that useless daughter of his, too. Like father, like daughter. God in heaven is watching everyone.”Her words trembled with fury, but they landed like stones in Samantha’s chest. She didn’t flinch. She didn’t speak. She stared into the distance, her mind drifting far from the room, far from her mother’s voice.Inside, she was hollow. Years of blindness — not of the eyes, but of the heart — had led her here. And now, her foolishne

I hope she doesn’t tell him I’m here, Samantha thought, her heart thudding in her chest. No… she won’t. Why would she? They don’t know me. I’m just a stranger to them.She tried to calm herself, but the anxiety kept creeping in. I don’t even know why I was running from the celebrant earlier. He probably wasn’t even coming for me. We don’t know each other… even though it kinda felt like he was.The food had made its way around, and the party was in full swing. Laughter echoed, music pulsed, and the vibe was electric.Then, quietly, the girl who had served Samantha leaned in close to the celebrant and whispered something in his ear.“I think that girl who rode in the taxi with us came for your birthday too, she is here,” she said.“You serious?” the celebrant asked, surprised and suddenly lit up. “Where is she? You saw her?”A smile spread across his face.“She’s sitting at the far end, in the corner,” the girl replied.“Okay, thanks,” he said, already scanning the crowd.“I’ll go see h

Lillian’s heart was restless. What if she wasn’t there? What if something terrible had happened to her?“Oh, Samantha… you wouldn’t take my life before my time, would you?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I don’t understand why you’ve chosen to be so stubborn, why you’ve decided to punish me like this. You were never like this before you started keeping company with men. But the moment you let love matters consume you—when you began giving your body to a man—everything changed in the blink of an eye.”She paused, her breath shallow. “My illness has left me too weak to guide you through these grown-up matters. But I promise you this—before my greatest fear comes to take me away from you and from your father, I will be your truest friend, your counselor, your tutor, and your most loyal adviser.”“I will be your bank of wisdom and understanding,” Lillian whispered, her voice trembling. “Even though I’ll let you make your own choices in life, I will always be here for you. So that wh

“No problem,” Clark said with a smile. “I’m expecting both of you.”“Alright, bye.”The call ended.The party was already in full swing when Samantha and Gabriel arrived. Music floated through the air, glasses clinked, and laughter rolled from one corner of the room to the other. Clark had gone all out for his birthday. The place was warm, bright, and filled with familiar faces.They mingled quietly, greeting a few people, trying to blend into the crowd. Samantha was happy to see Clark smiling, moving from guest to guest like the perfect host.About an hour in, the room shifted. Heads turned toward the entrance as Jake and Julia walked in. They looked polished, confident, the kind of couple that drew attention without even trying. They made their way around the room, greeting people with hugs and handshakes.But when they reached Samantha and Gabriel, they stopped. Jake’s eyes flicked over them, and without a word, he moved past as if they weren’t even there. Julia followed, her lips
