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

“Don’t do this, Ariana. We both know this is beyond my power, if there wasn’t a rule I wouldn’t hesitate to give your brother the company,” Ethan pleaded, also rising from the bed. His heart ached, that would be the height of it, even though he didn’t have much time to live; he still wanted to see his children until the day of his death. It would be really heartbreaking if he had to die alone. What had Elena told Ariana that was making her think this way? Ethan thought. “I’ve made up my mind dad; just as you’ve made up your mind not to take back the company from Sam, if you reconsider; I too will do the same,” Ariana blurted out, in front of her father and turned to leave. But Ethan grabbed her by the arm. “What has come over you, Ary. It’s me, your father!” Ethan called, pulling her close to himself. Ariana struggled free. “I should also be asking what happened to you dad, you know longer love me as much as you do, this new son of yours is now your priority. If you wish to k
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE A Secret Accident and A Secret Illness.
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

“What!” Sam exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock as he stared at his dad. He wasn’t expecting such news from Ethan; Sam could feel his heart pound faster than normal. “Yes, it’s true, Sam. And you’re the only person who knows now apart from Clinton,” Ethan confirmed his words, gazing at Sam soberly. Sam still couldn’t assimilate the news, he was confused; Ethan looked so healthy when they met, he thought this was just a little illness he had because of his age or something. “I… I don’t understand dad,” Sam stuttered, he was still utterly devastated by what his dad just revealed to him. “I found out about the illness very late, Sam. It’s already in the advanced stages, and my days here on earth are numbered, but I want you to have all you need before my time reaches fruition,” Ethan narrated, none of his children would take this news easily. He knew that, he just hoped they would allow him to die in peace. This was his last resort if Elena tried to go on with the divorce, he was goi

The doctor smiled at both of them, and brought out a white piece of A4 sized paper. “I should be doing this in my office, but I can see it’s urgent and you couples want to know the details so quickly,” he said, handing over the paper to Amelia first. She collected it and quickly glanced through it, going straight to the place where it confirms that Derek was the owner of the child but her countenance fell when she saw what was written there. Derek’s heartbeat skyrocketed when he saw Amelia’s expression, it shouldn’t be what he was thinking, he prayed. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Derek, but the child in Amelia’s womb isn’t yours, I do not know who the owner is, but you’re not the father,” the doctor made the announcement to Derek, instead of him having his own turn to look at the results. Derek could literally feel the shattering of his heart, it was so real and the pain was aggravating; he was too expectant and too confident that the child was his that the reality hit him as hard as a roc
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Laura’s Plan and Emily’s Thoughts.
“There’s someone here to see you, Amelia.” The doctor gave way for the woman to pass through, and Amelia gasped when she saw her. “Mum!” She exclaimed, her mouth agape. The doctor nodded, he thought as much; the resemblance was clear, it was the reason he didn’t ask Mrs. Rosenberg questions, he knew that she was a relative or something. “I’ll leave you two, but please make it snappy; she needs some rest,” the doctor announced before closing the door behind him. “What are you doing here, mum? I told you not to come,” “I heard about your silly accident for God’s sake, what type of mother wouldn’t come to see her daughter in the hospital after an accident,” Laura reprimanded, walking straight to her daughter’s bed. “I didn’t tell anyone, how’d you know that?” “A friend was nearby, luckily. So you weren’t going to tell me?” Laura questioned, looking somewhat terrified, her hands placed on her chest. She was putting on a flowery gown that went down to her legs, almost like the ones
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Call and The Date
Emily dialed Sam’s number, the beeping sound from the phone made her very nervous; after it had rang for about ten seconds, she ended the call out of fear and tension. She had no idea why she was feeling this way towards a man she was older than; like a teenage girl who just got teased by one rich high school boy. ‘What do you want to do, Emily!’ She said to herself in her mind, as she dropped the cellphone on the bed and paced her small bedroom. Her heart was pounding as if it wanted to come out from her chest; Emily hated the fact that she felt this way, just because she wanted to accept the man she had grown feelings for. Was it because he was her boss? Or because he was the son of the man she so much respected? She had no idea. As Emily paced her room back and forth, brooding about the step she just took, the phone rang suddenly; startling her and making her heart thud heavily. She quickly rushed to the bed and stared at who the caller was; as she had thought, it was Sam.
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Sand And Seas
Sam heard her loud and clear, but still he wanted reassurance; he wanted to hear her say it again. “What do you mean?” Sam pretended, leaning closer to the table separating both of them. Emily heaved a sigh, she didn’t want to keep repeating the words as it made her a little embarrassed. “I want us to go on with the feelings we have for each other, Sam, and I accept the request you gave me that day,” Emily made her response more clearer, in order not to repeat herself again. But she didn’t look at Sam’s eyes when she finished talking, she was too shy to do so. Instead she placed her gaze on the small vase beautifying their table. Sam could literally feel the joy in his heart, he couldn’t explain the feeling in words but he could tell that he had never felt such a way in a long time. It was different from when Amelia accepted his offer, this looked a lot like a big deal, but he wouldn’t make it seem so. For the first time since he started talking to Emily, Sam was lost for word

An unusual End
Ariana stood outside the hospital, ever since she called Derek, she hadn’t gone back inside. She wanted to be the first one o recieve him, she had to try and stop Derek from doing any harm to Sam, she knew he was going to blame him for everything that happened to both Elena and Ethan. Even though a part of it was his fault too. An ambulance arrived the hospital, but it sound didn’t jolt Ariana from her thoughts, she kept on going forward and backwards on the open area in front of the big hospital. “Stay with us, sir…stay with us.” The words were loud and demanding and it got Ariana to stare at the person who was saying it. Just as she looked behind her shoulders, her eyes fell on the man who was lying on the moving stretcher, it was Derek! Ariana didn’t know when she started running towards the stretcher, tears streaming down her eyes at will. What the hell happened? What’s going on in her miserable life? These unanswered questions hit her hard, it was as if her heart would rip o

And there was Darkness
Immediately Ariana reported the news to Derek, she heard a beeping sound that indicated that the receiver had hung up. She fell down on her knees outside the hospital and continued crying her eyes out, somewhere deep inside her heart; she prayed that the news hadn’t affected Derek in anyway.***The cell phone dropped from Derek’s hand and landed on the marble floor of his sitting room, the glass of whiskey he was holding in his left also fell off his grip and shattered on the floor, causing Amelia to rush out of the kitchen that was close to the sitting room. His eyes were wide and filled with uttermost despair, he couldn’t describe what he was feeling at the moment, he heard what Ariana said clearly, he had an hunch something was wrong that was why he picked up the call immediately. Ever since he joined his mother to get the inheritance off Sam, Ariana hadn’t called him in awhile. Amelia hurried out of the kitchen, rushing into the room; she had a shocking expression on her face

The Share of Guilt
Sam felt a double blow to his heart, in the midst of all these tribulations, Derek was coming for him. It wasn’t as if he didn’t expect it, he was somehow responsible for thier mother’s death, and Derek who has forever hated him would always believe he was the cause of Elena’s death. “Although I’ve spoken to him about not doing something stupid, but I’m not really sure he’s going to heed to my advise, which is the reason I’m telling you.” Clinton continued, staring at Sam closely. It was now somewhat his responsibility to take care of Sam, now that Ethan was in the brink of death, but he kept praying in his heart for God to give Ethan few more months. “What do you mean Derek is coming for him?” Ariana who had been listening for awhile chipped in, sniffing and staring suprisedly at Clinton. “You and Ethan are the only people who would believe the story about Elena’s death, Derek will not; and I’m sure you know why,” Clinton responded. Sam was still silent and confused as fear stre

Emergency
Sam pulled up from the embrace and stared at his fiancée with so much affection in his blue eyes. Emily’s eyes widened and her smile brightened, she was pregnant for Sam, just when her step sister aborted his child. It seemed the child reincarnated or something. “Are…are you for real?” The surprise and joy was so obvious on her expression, she hadn’t felt this much joy before, despite the fact that she just escaped death narrowly. How situations can change in a split of a second. “The doctor just told me now, the baby’s safe and I’m mostly glad that you’re also,” Sam revealed, he was almost starting to tear up now. “Oh gosh, I’m so so happy… can’t believe this is happening, Sam.” Emily’s voice sounded like she’d burst into tears soon. “It is happening, Em, you’re going to be a mum and I would be a dad, even though we just experienced the most traumatic experience of our lives, this news has brought so much joy, enough to overwhelm our sadness,” Sam narrated, staring at Emily wit

The Pinnacle of Pain
“Talk to me, Ariana, what is it you want to tell me?” Ethan climbed off the bed and rushed towards Ariana, holding her hands. He was surprised at her sudden burst in tears, what could have gone wrong, his heart started to pound abnormally in an instant. “I don’t know how to say this, but, promise me that you wouldn’t be affected by this news,” Ariana cried, even though she had mentioned the first two words, Ethan hadn’t grabbed what she wanted to talk about. He was still totally in the dark. Ethan looked at her confusedly, she was making him more scared and his heartbeat continued to move up drastically. He couldn’t promise such a thing, because he had no idea what she wanted to reveal to him and with all of this fuss, it was certain that it was something negative. “What’s going on, Ariana? You’re making me anxious already, just spill the beans,” Ethan's patience wouldn’t last long, has he held Ariana's hands, he was staring into her teary eyes and it was breaking his heart. But

Difficult Words
Sam’s mouth fell open, but no words came out. He was totally unaware of that, especially in this kind of situation, who would have thought that Emily was pregnant. “The baby’s fine, even after the drugs and stress she went through, it’s actually a miracle somewhat,” the doctor continued, smiling broadly, oblivious to what was going on in Sam’s head. Sam still remained shocked and mute, Emily was pregnant for him, God was really working miracles, just when Amelia had gone and aborted his child, then came another one. “Mr. Sam…. Mr. Samuel, are you okay?” The doctor was suddenly concerned about Sam's silence and shocked expression. Sam nodded positively without uttering any words, his eyes still popped wide. “Why is it so surprising to hear that your wife’s pregnant, actually I thought you’d tell me you know already,” the doctor was starting to get confused with Sam’s reactions and response to the news he just delivered. “You… oh God, you wouldn’t understand, doc. But I’m so glad

The Beginning of the End
Jonathan who was already scared because of his present predicament, and wasn’t concentrating on the conversation was overwhelmingly shocked by what he just heard Clinton say. Dead? How’s that even possible? He thought, Jonathan couldn’t believe it, just as he couldn’t believe he’d be going to jail soon. Derek shook his head, staring at Clinton with his eyes wide open and his heart beating so hard like it’d pop out of his chest. It seems what he just heard was a fluke or something, there was no way that was true. “Wha…what…what did you just say?” He stuttered, trying as much as possible to calm his nerves and not believe what he heard earlier. Clinton sighed, this was the real reason why he came to pass the message himself, he was so sure that Derek would take the hit harder than Ariana because Derek loved his mother more than Ethan, it was as if the two children picked one parent each. However, they still loved both thier parents. If it had been Sam giving this report, it’d even

Walls Have Ears.
(Back in Ethan’s Mansion) Ariana went into the guest bathroom to wash up her face, she had cried her eyes out and Ethan would definitely know no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She could reduce the swollen part of her face but the redness in her eye balls wouldn’t be easily removed. She stared at the mirror, looking at her reflection for a few seconds; but all she was seeing was the flashes of her mother’s face. Still, she couldn’t believe that Elena was dead, it was the most difficult reality to accept and it shattered her heart to molecules even though she didn’t have a perfect relationship with her mother. Now, it was evident and obvious that she’d become an orphan very soon, losing both her parents at such a tender age. The fact that none of them was going to hold her hand and lead her through the aisle and bless her marriage when she decided to have one was heartbreaking. Ariana had no idea how she wanted to relay the message to her father without him getting a heart a

If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
