Samantha's eyes zoomed in and out of the files in front of her, yet she was filled with nothing but anger running through her veins. She had been burned once and if she had any sense she was going to take it in a stride instead of trying to make sense out of whatever was going on. The entire day went like a whirlwind, sucking her deep into what she would have considered irritating at first. Until she got to be point where she kept dishing up letters and receiving praises from Orion. A knock at the door had her head jumping up. The skies that become dark. "I knew you were in here. Aren't you coming home with me?" Orions deep voice cut into her concentration. Oh..."I didn't know that we were supposed to leave together, but I'll just round up a few things and then we could leave.""You and I have a lot to speak about but I would wait until we get home." He reminded her. Of course she knew that she had a whole lot of things to talk about but none of them was appropriate for outside

Samantha looked at herself in the full-length mirror and, for the first time in a long time, looked beautiful. She didn't even have to do too much to be able to convince herself that she was sparkling. There was something different in the way she moved today, and it was simply from the energy that she fed off of him. Smacking her lips closely against each other, she headed downstairs. It was supposed to be just an ordinary outing, but why did she still feel giddy? Orion looked up as soon as he spotted her. There she stood, looking every inch like a siren. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, leaving him wanting more. Has she really dressed up because of him? He wondered. Samantha wasn't one to bend over just to get a man's attention and that was one of the things that he loved about her. She made it even easier to be liked. "If you keep staring I might be tempted to think that you are falling in love with me," Samantha smirked, loving the attention that she was getting from h

"Damn, Reese, you are even more beautiful than the last time that we met. Isn't it wonderful that you've been able to turn into such a proper woman in a short time?" Orion gushed over the strange lady without even introducing Samantha. Samantha held her breath. It was one thing to be blindsided; it was another to be treated as if you didn't even exist, and both of them just enjoyed having a wonderful conversation to themselves, which was not really a bad thing, but I hide was the most disrespectful any man had ever been. "I hear that you've gotten married. How did all of them happen without my knowledge? Didn't you say that it was going to take a whole lot to get someone like you to the aisle? What the hell changed?" Reese spoke. "Meet Samantha my wife. She was able to lock me down with her charm. I have never met anyone as beautiful as she is I think that suffices." He grinned. Nothing was funny about the entire incident to someone like Samantha, but she wasn't going to allow an

Orion couldn't help but stare at the woman who made his world stop. Samantha was clearly enjoying herself but was holding back from feeling. He had a feeling that she was doing a lot of this on purpose. It wasn't really because of what she could gain, but because of the things she could be indebted to do by the time she finally told herself the truth. "Let's go over to the arcade area." Samantha would rather pretend like everything was find unto allow herself stat thinking about the things that did not even matter. At some point she was beginning to think that she was overthinking things and demanding question was not even worried about anything. Orion answered naturally without any hesitation as they proceeded there. The energy was lost and since he wasn't want to pretend there was no need for him to start acting like it wasn't forced. There was something different about the way he decided to approach things and she respected his decisions on many levels but one thing was certa

Game on wasn't the plan for Samantha. She didn't want him to think that she was just trying to play hard to get and that he needed to win her over to himself at all costs because then it was going to defeat the entire purpose that she was here for. "I'm not saying this because I do not want you. I'm saying this because this is the most complicated thing that we could ever do and I'm not willing to jeopardize my freedom over just some basic human instincts. It is sexual tension speaking through both of us and we should not complicate it for something more." She snapped at him. Orion was past arguing with her over something that was true. instead he pointed at her chest, "tell yourself the truth for once and maybe you would be free to live instead of keep lying and pretending like these things do not exist as opposed to the truth." Samantha's face marred with frustration. She was trying to communicate with this man but he was not willing to listen to her. Was he hoping that he wi

Jonathan's smiles reeked of fake ness. "Never did I think that I was going to bump into both of you." He addressed.The first thing that the both of them had about was that trouble had come knocking and the only way to counter it was to push it far away before it became a menace. "How are you doing today Jonathan?" Orion responded. Jonathan surprisingly looked well but if you stared at him for long one would find out that he was not really what he claimed to be. "I see that you've been taking your medications properly for the past few weeks." Jonathan laughed at the insult. He wasn't even trying to be funny. He was genuinely looking for ways to make sure that outsmarted his brother. It was a given. "You know at some point I was beginning to think that you would have found out that there are even better ways for us to handle our differences and being at loggerheads with each other all the time." "Jonathan what exactly do you want?" Samantha stood her ground. It would be stupid for

Telling the entire world about what happened to Maria was not on Orion's bucket list in fact it was something that he decided was going to remain a secret till the end of time if it was left to him but Jonathan was ready to spill everything out without thinking about the consequences. One of the major reasons that he had decided on not employing a legal battle yet against this man who was simply because he knew that Jonathan was going to play dirty and he did not have too much information that was going to cripple the business entirely. "Save your threats for people who want to listen but for someone like me you failed even before you started and there's nothing that I can do to help you." Jonathan knew that he had struck a nerve. Orion would never pass up any opportunity to Rob dirt on him no matter how much he wanted to prove that he was not connected to what was going on and any form of deflection was be taken as a threat to his person. "Right... I guess the safe to say that I

The house was plunged into silence after both of them arrived home. Samantha was not going to start up a conversation that was going to lead her into more confusion. It was evidence that Jonathan knew something and Orion was just trying to cover everything up but it would never leave her mind that's something that happened to a woman. If it was not true Orion would have kicked against it the first minute that the accusations had landed. "Do you want to have some drinks with me?" Orion asked as soon as they entered. "You seem like you would need one." It was on the tip of Samantha's tongue to tell him that the only reason she'll be needing a drink was because he wanted to keep many secret things to himself that would require a lot of digging before she was able to ever get her hands on proper information. It was one thing for her to pretend like any of these things did not exist but it was another for her to keep playing oblivious. "Oh... I don't really think that it's a good idea

Samantha doubled backwards as soon as she heard that piece of information. "What?" "Till today I keep blaming myself that I grabbed her call when it mattered and maybe I would have been able to stop her from getting into the problems that she did. That is what Jonathan is trying to capitalize on and things that I'm going to do with him." Orion explained. Samantha noticed the contract look in his eyes, lions have not always been hard-hearted. It was probably based on what people had done to him that it made him decide that he was rather going to be on his own and never allow any other person into his life. "I'm sorry about that.""It's in the past. Jonathan does have a way of getting on my nerves and because he knows that you do not know the full story of whatever has gone wrong between both of us he always tries to twist it around to make sure that he's successful while at it. It's just that I'm all strategy that he employs and I don't think those should be worried about any of tha

Samantha picked up her pace as she headed towards the VIP section of the bar. Tomorrow she was going to think about the fact that Louisa could be one of the people trying to bring the company down but for today she would rather just think about the future and how amazing it was going to be. "If I didn't know better I would think that you are running away from something or someone." Louisa raised an eyebrow at her friend who had gone incommunicado for the longest time. "I'm trying to run away from my feelings. The house seems to suffocate me." Samaantha giggled. It was one thing for you to understand your problem, it was another for you to keep trying to freaking describe it to somebody who had no idea of what you were talking about. "I should not be advising you about marital issues. I don't want to be the cause of anybody's marriage breakdown." Louisa evaded the question. "Well I would have been asking the wrong person to come outside with me if I knew that you just wanted to be
