All Chapters of Love I tried to Hide: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Arlyn and Lemar waited for Maya to bring Samantha back from the park. Lemar paced the living room, his mind still reeling from the revelation. He couldn’t wrap his head around it—Samantha, the bright little girl he adored and had grown so fond of, was actually his daughter. Every interaction they’d had suddenly took on new meaning. How had he not seen it before?I glanced at Lemar, watching him as he paced, his eyes focused on the floor. As much as a part of him was still upset about missing out on the earlier years of Samantha’s life and the fact that I had kept this secret from him for over three weeks, I knew there was something else.He had done an amazing job raising Samantha on his own, without even knowing. That thought filled me with awe. Lemar, the man I had fallen for at first sight, and then lost, had carried the weight of fatherhood in a way I hadn’t even realized.“What are you thinking?” I asked, my voice b

Although I had already spent over two hours with Samantha, she was still clinging to me. Her face brightened with joy as she showed me each of the items in her room and the stories behind them.“Daddy,” Samantha called, her eyes gleaming with mischief.“Yes, Samantha?” I asked, looking at her with so much love in my eyes. No matter how many times she called me that in the last couple of hours, my heart still did a flip-flop every time she said it.“Daddddy?” she drawled.“Yes, Sammannny?” I asked, imitating her drawl, and she giggled.“Daddddddy?”I chuckled this time. “Alright, I give up. What is it, Sam?” I asked, and she giggled, shaking her head.“I just love to call you Daddy. You’re no longer just James. You’re Daddy,” Samantha said, and I chuckled.“And you’re my baby,” I said with a smile.“Then

The moment Lemar stepped into his suite, an uncontainable surge of joy overtook him. He flicked his finger in the air, a grin spreading across his face as he moved to the rhythm of the victory beating inside him.Without thinking, he slid effortlessly into a smooth moonwalk, followed by a jubilant spin like something out of a dance show. Laughter bubbled out of him, echoing through the spacious room and filling every corner with his euphoria. He was on top of the world.Humming to himself, Lemar began to strip off his clothes with the same excitement, eager to freshen up and head out. His shirt came off first, followed quickly by his trousers, until something small tumbled out of his pocket and hit the floor with a faint clink.Lemar paused, his brow furrowing in confusion. He stooped to pick up the object, realizing it was a flash drive. His mind raced, how had it gotten there? Did someone slip it into his pocket? Who? When? A flood of curiosity washed over him

As Flavier drove back home, he couldn’t stop thinking about what Lemar had said about trying to seduce Tyrra. He snorted. Over his dead body, he thought. There was no way he’d ever let anything happen between Lemar and Tyrra. The very idea made his blood boil.But then, as he thought about it more, doubts crept in. Had Grace lied to him earlier? If Tyrra really wanted Lemar, why hadn’t she made a move? She knew Lemar had feelings for her, so what was holding her back? The more he thought, the more unsettled he became.Flavier’s mind drifted back to the first few times he had run into Tyrra at the company and how she had acted. Now, it made sense, she had acted that way because she knew Lemar was interested in her. Was she playing some sort of game, testing their boundaries?He shook his head, trying to push those thoughts aside.None of it mattered now. Tyrra had lost her job at Empowered, and Lemar had no reason to meet with her a

Eric’s face seemed to pale, his eyes moving from Tyrra to Samantha in stunned disbelief. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but no words came. The revelation seemed to shrink his normally strong presence.Claire placed a gentle hand on Eric’s arm, her voice soft and reassuring. "Eric, let’s go inside and sit down."But Eric remained frozen, his gaze locked on Samantha, who was still holding tightly to her grandmother’s hand. Her innocent eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.After Tyrra’s introduction, Samantha’s face lit up with a bright smile. She let go of Claire and stepped forward confidently, her tiny arms outstretched toward Eric. "Hi, Grandpa! I’m Samantha," she said, her voice sweet and free from the tension in the room.For a moment, Eric stood still, his brows furrowed deeply as he tried to process everything.Although still confused and upset, he didn’t want the child to sense it,
