“Your filthy, good-for-nothing husband has been arrested for not paying up his debt. Now you have to rethink if you still want to be with that loser, or you want to be with someone else.” Michael said over the phone and took a pause, taking a deep breath to catch his breath. He heaved a sigh before he continued to talk, but Samantha started to talk, making him keep quiet to listen.“Michael, is this really you speaking?” She asked as she brought the phone off her ear to see the caller ID again before placing it back over her ear.“Oh yes! This is me. I was blinded by the wrong fact, and now I am back to my senses. Leave that man alone.” He said, and Eric could not help but stare at his wife as she kept mute, listening to his brother.“I should have known this was your plan all along. Getting him arrested.” Samantha blew hot over the phone and Eric became scared that Michael could reveal what happened. He heaved a sigh, getting the attention of his wife, who did not listen when Michael
Eric woke up to the soft tap on his shoulder. He opened his eyes slowly but squinted in response to the light that came in through the window. He slowly tilted his head to see his wife getting ready, and he quickly sat up on the bed, yawning and stretching out his arms. Samantha tilted her head to give her husband a brief look as she wiped her face in front of the mirror. There was a moment of awkward silence in the room before she took a deep breath to talk, but before she could say a word, Eric talked.“Where are you going?” He asked in his groggy voice as he tried to get up from the bed on his feet, then he suddenly realized that he was naked, not wearing even a boxer. His mind suddenly wandered off to what happened between him and his wife last night. He quickly reached for his underpants and wore it swiftly before his wife could notice. “I told you yesterday about the job offer that I got.” Samantha said as she turned around to focus her gaze on her husband.“You told me about a
Eric quickly got dressed, minutes after his wife left the house. “I have to meet with Damien before she arrives.” He whispered to himself as he wore his clothes quickly. He dashed out of the room and headed straight to Juan Manuel Corporation. He walked in, and the receptionist directed him straight to Damien's office. Eric heaved a sigh as he knocked on the door to the office and in not time, a response came.“Come in.” He heard and opened the door swiftly, going inside. “Young master, what a pleasant surprise.” He said as he stood up abruptly from his chair and ushered Eric to a chair. “What would you like to have? You did not inform me that you are coming.” Damien said as he tilted his head to look at him. Eric took a deep breath as he thought of where to start from.“Damien, there is something I want to discuss with you. It's very important.” Eric said, and Damien immediately had a smirk on his face.“It took you long enough, young master. I was intending to tell you about it too
Eric left Damien's office swiftly and headed straight to his house. A thought suddenly crossed his mind and he changed his mind to visit Darius. He thought of a way to do it, and he went back to meet Damien.“Did you forget something?” The receptionist asked, and he smiled, before he nodded. “I will get it brief.” He said, and she gave a nod, but suddenly came to realize that her boss was in a board meeting.“Excuse me sir. He is in a meeting.” The receptionist said sharply, and he heaved a sigh of disappointment as he remembered that Damien had made mention of the meeting earlier when he was with him.“When is he going to be out?” Eric asked, raising an eyebrow as he tilted his head to give her a brief look.“Let's say an hour or, at most, an hour and thirty minutes.” She replied, and he slowly lowered his head, shaking it as he thoughts about what next to do. He knew he couldn't go directly into Darius's company to meet with, as he did not want to stare any speculation about himself
Michael searched through all his pockets but could not find the card. He heaved a sigh of frustration as he went towards his bed to sit on the edge. Different thoughts soon ran through his mind as he sat there. “How do we pay up this debt?” He asked himself as he was slowly losing his mind, knowing that there was no way Samantha would ever agree to marry Darius and also Darius had rejected her outrightly without giving any valid reason for doing so. He heaved a sigh as he began to tap his lips slowly with his fingers.His phone suddenly began to buzz, and he checked to see who was calling. “Darius” he whispered to himself as he tilted his head away immediately, contemplating on whether to pick the call or not. “It's just a call.” He said and took a deep breath, closing his eyes briefly. Just as he was about to pick the call, it ended, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he tossed the phone to the other side. He leaned backwards, resting his back on the pillow as he went deep in thought.
Michael was a bit shocked at what he just heard over the phone. He heaved a heavy sigh as he tilted his head a little, thinking of what to say. “How did you know it was me?” Michael could not help but ask, and she only chuckled, exhaling heavily before he talked.“I know everything about you. You don't know me, do you?” She asked, and Michael's heart skipped a beat as he heard that. “Now I am scared.” Michael said, forcing out a breath, and suddenly Lydia started to laugh.“Oh common. Don't be ridiculous. I was just messing around.” She said, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he thought of what to say.“But seriously, it took you long enough to call me.” She added quickly.“Why did you ask me to call you?” Michael asked in a low tone as he stood up from the bed and walked out of his room to the sitting room to get a drink.“I have a business deal for you.” She said, and Michael's heart skipped a beat as he halted immediately. His mind wandered off to the money he will be getting from
Samantha arrived home and went directly to the bathroom to take a shower, as she was exhausted from her outing. She came out of the bathroom after a while and noticed that Eric was still not home, and she decided to give him a call to know where he was. She searched for her phone, taking a deep breath as she tried not to think about what had happened earlier as she went out. Just as she was about to dial his contact, her phone began to buzz, and she was shocked to see who was calling. “Why is Sonia calling?” She asked herself as she picked the call, placing the phone over her ear.“Hello, Sonia!” She said in a low tone and waited patiently for her to respond.“Samantha!” She said in a sharp tone and Samantha heaved a sigh as she was curious to know Sonia had called her.“Surprised to see my call, right?” She asked, and Samantha forced out a breath.“Not really. But considering what happened the last time we were together, I was not expecting we talk anytime soon.” Samantha replied, and
Samantha reached for the envelope and handed it over to Eric, who collected it and opened it. He heaved a sigh as he tilted the opening of the envelope to show Samantha what was inside. Amazed by what she saw, her eyes went wide open as well as her mouth. She tilted her head to look at Eric for a moment, placing a palm over her mouth. “Why the shock?” He asked in a low tone as he closely observed her. She shook her head slowly as she gently dropped her hands from her mouth.“It's too small, right? I know. But what can I do? He is the boss and does anything he wishes.” Eric said, and Samantha shit him a wild stare for a moment.“Small? Did I just hear you say small? Babe, that's huge.” She said, and Eric tilted his head away for a moment, thinking of what next to say.“Let's cut the chit-chat. What do you suggest for dinner? We have got some bucks, baby.” Eric said with a grin on his face as he leaned forward to grab his wife. She smiled as well, melting in his arms as she soon forgot
