Sam just got back from Istanbul and was rushing down to Ethan’s to tell him about the change of heart of Cooper Daniel and all of Helen’s family, he had for a moment forgotten that he had bumped into Ariana some days back. And now seeing her right in front of him inside Ethan’s bedroom was surprising and not surprising at the same time. It was surprising because he hadn’t been thinking about her, and it was not surprising because he had a hunch, a big one that Ariana was Ethan’s daughter. “I should be asking you that question, not you asking me,” Ariana fired back, stunned at the sight of the man who bumped into her at the mall in front of her father’s room. “Ask your dad, who I am,” Sam walked past her into the room. He waved at Clinton who nodded in acknowledgment.Ethan’s hand was placed on his forehead, as he watched Sam walk towards him and Ariana coming hastily behind him with an angry look on her face. Today would really be one hell of a day, he thought. If Ariana had cal

Ethan sighed, he had a frustrated expression on his face, even his daughter who was closer to him than any member of his family couldn’t understand his plight. Although, he didn’t expect her to get it in just one sitting. It was a little bit hard to accept, he knows that personally. But the fact that he couldn’t convince her made him frustrated. “They’re never going to accept it, will they?” Sam was the one who spoke first after Ariana had stormed out of the room. He was getting tired of all these even though he expected it, but it wasn’t bothering him so much anymore. Ethan looked at him with tired eyes, and then sighed again as he shifted his gaze to Clinton who was still standing by the door. “I will figure everything out soon enough, Sam; you’ve nothing to worry about, I expected all of these,” Ethan assured him, even without being sure what he wanted to do next. Sam could sense the uncertainty in his words, he had hurried to Ethan’s mansion to tell him about Cooper, and ho

“I’m pregnant!” Amelia broke the news immediately without any hesitation, putting up a face of worry and disgust. Her heartbeat was abnormal and she was unable to control it. Derek's eyes popped wide open, a grin slowly curling up the side of his lips. “That’s great news, why the hell are you looking that way?” He smiled, leaning closer to Amelia. Derek didn’t even think about this aspect, he was only worried about what illness Amelia must have developed, but it was a baby and he was so glad. They had only had sex a number of times since they just started dating officially some weeks ago, and it was obvious because they never for once used protection. “Because I’m not really sure who owns the child,” Amelia nibbled on her bottom lip, staring at Derek to see his reaction. Her fear was that the child may be Sam’s. She didn’t really know, the issues and problems in her life this past weeks had made her lose concentration on her personal well being. She was always thinking of Sam

The two of them stood in that position for a few seconds but it seemed like minutes in Emily’s eyes as she gazed at Sam’s raging ones; and his frustration slowly subsided. Her pleading eyes and expression had saved the moment, she had no idea what Sam would have done if she allowed him to do what he actually wanted to do. Sam sighed, and closed his eyes for a few seconds; something he usually does when he is frustrated or angry. He loved Emily and he was glad that she stopped him from escalating his anger. “Okay, Emily. I’ll give it a week. I’m sure you know this is not coercion, it’s totally your choice to choose whether you want to be with me or not,” “I’m sorry for almost getting angry, I just….” Sam’s voice faded off, staring at Emily’s eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat and noticed that his heart rate had risen beyond normal. He regretted what he just did and hated himself for it. He wasn’t going to force a woman to love him or be with him; it was beyond his pride an

The two cars collided, but Derek had swerved sideways making theirs tumble and hitting the road upside down. The airbag was all over the place, many motorists quickly parked their vehicles and came out to help the victims. Amelia had lost consciousness out of shock, but she wasn’t really injured, just some little bruises when she was dragged out of the upside down vehicle. Derek was the one who took most of the hit, with blood streaming down his dark hair; still he wasn’t unconscious. He was dragged out of the tumbled vehicle and he staggered straight to the owner of the other car, and gave him a super punch on the face. “Fuck you, man, what the heck were you thinking?” Derek growled, panting heavily. People immediately held him down and also went to nurse the punched man. Derek struggled free when he saw Amelia lying unconsciously by the side of the road, as he walked towards her; he prayed that nothing would happen to his child. The ambulance sirens blared loudly from a dista
