Amelia was laughing like it was a joke, but she was actually calling security on her cell phone.

“Hello, we have a problem here, at Derek’s and Co post…..yeah,....please hurry up,” She dropped the call with a smile.

Sam wasn’t embarrassed by their laughter, nor was he moved by the call Amelia just made; he didn’t care anymore; they were all ignorant of his current state so he expected nothing less.

A few of Sam's roommates, that didn’t join in insulting Sam when Amelia ordered it, were still there watching the scene, they were still trying to believe that all Sam was saying was the truth, because, even though they won’t talk bad against him, they knew how poor Sam was.

Sam smiled and brought out the entry card that certifies you as an employer in the job fare.

Showing it to Amelia and her doubting gang of betrayals, the laughter subsided when they saw the card Sam was holding, it was just like the ones sitting on Amelia’s table. It was meant only for employers.

    “Hi Amelia,” Charity waved with a beautiful smile. But Amelia was in no mood for pleasantries, she had a dreadful sneer on her face and was embarrassed and pained for what Sam was doing. She still believed he was doing it to get back to her, but it was already going too far beyond what she could call a prank. Charity was a little surprised that her best friend didn’t respond to her greetings, but merely looking at her would tell anyone that Amelia wasn’t herself.“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, don’t tell me?” Benson paused, glancing at Amelia and then at Sam. He was confused, what was really going on; who was employing who? “Wait, I’m lost… what’s happening?”Benson questioned, curiously. He couldn’t deduce what was going on. He had called for Sam to attend the job fare, because he knew Sam was broke and needed a job to sustain himself, but seeing Sam here with a group of people around him was confusing. “I’m hiring, Ben,” Sam replied, stealing a glance at Charity, he fe

    “Is all this for real?” Ben approached Sam, looking anxiously at him. Now that Amelia had gone, it was time for Sam to explain how he was hiring people in the job fare instead of trying to get a job. He needed an explanation for the words that kept coming out of his mouth. “Let the lady answer, Ben. I cannot begin to explain,” Sam giggled, glancing at Ben and then returning his gaze to Charity who was still reasoning the offer. She was also doubting, maybe all this was merely a joke; because there was absolutely no way Sam was hiring people to work for him while he dropped out of school just to provide for a woman who had dumped him. “I would like to know what position you wish to employ me in and the salary compensation,” Charity tucked her blonde hair beside her ear, suddenly feeling shy for no reason. “My personal assistant, I need someone I can trust with my affairs. I’m willing to give you $5000 for accepting my offer and then $10,000 as your monthly compensation,” Sam answ

    Sam was utterly confused hearing the elderly man with gray hair calling him son, or maybe it was just because he was a young man. Old people tend to do that a lot. He walked slowly to the couch where the men sat, glancing at the number of guards that stood around the room; he couldn’t recognize any of them, they weren’t Clinton’s guards. Sam made himself comfortable on an empty couch next to the one the men were sitting on. The surprise was still on his face, but he wasn’t really aware of it. “Would you like a drink?” Clinton grabbed the bottle and began to fill an empty glass cup that had been kept for him. Sam hardly takes alcohol, but that wasn’t because he was allergic to it or anything; it was simply because he couldn’t afford it. He collected the glass from Clinton and stared at the golden brown liquid, he was damn anxious. Who was this man? He really wanted to know. “I know you must be having several thoughts in your mind as to who I am,” the man began. Sam raised his g

    Jonathan walked into the sitting room through another door, he didn’t come from the elevator which means he had been in the villa before Sam came in. He was dressed in a navy blue suit, and red tie; looking like a sharp billionaire; Sam had never seen him looking so expensive and handsome. Jonathan was a little bit older than Ethan, but now that he looked more closely, they looked so much alike; and they both had gray hairs. Sam had always noticed that he looked a little bit like Jonathan, the man who he thought was his grandfather. But now, he realized he looked more like Ethan than Jonathan, they had the same blue eyes, and it was obvious that Ethan's gray hair was once blonde like Sam’s. Jonathan buttoned up his blazers and sat beside Sam, who looked like he just saw a ghost. With Jonathan present, his disbelief had been erased; all that Ethan had said was true. Sam covered his face with both hands as he tried to take in everything he had just heard. His life had changed for

    Red flushes ran through Charity’s face, she looked away; would she be able to work for Sam and not obviously fall in love with him? Considering the fact that she had always secretly admired him but because he was her best friend’s boyfriend, she didn’t want to do anything stupid to jeopardize their relationship. Although she wasn’t really here because of Sam, she came because of the money, seeing him dressed like this; it seems everything he was blabbering about that day was true. The guys that Sam had hired rose from their seats when they saw him coming, Charity also did the same when she saw them.“Welcome to the villa gentlemen and my lady,” Sam gave a bright smile.The previous day, he finally learned the secrets behind his sudden mysterious wealth, even though he didn’t believe it. He wouldn’t be surprised how shocked these people would be when they found out he owned the very property they were in. Sam gave all of them handshakes including Charity, even though he had an infa

    Stephan's heartbeat skyrocketed, he couldn’t believe his eyes, this was the same Sam that was always looking homeless. How did all this happen in such a short time? What surprised him the most wasn’t just Sam, it was the three suited bodyguards that were walking behind him and a very beautiful lady beside him. Just in the space of a few days, Sam had become a millionaire with bodyguards and probably a new girlfriend. Stephan was so stoked that he stood by the side of the door, till one of Sam’s bodyguards opened it for Sam to pass through. Sam walked into the restaurant majestically, the place was also part of the properties that Ethan had given to him. Who would have thought that he would own the place he once worked at? He gazed at Stephan who was standing by the door with a shocked expression, and grinned; it feels so good to be wealthy, Sam thought as he made his way inside the restaurant followed closely by Charity. Charity had her hair done in a ponytail, with one of the l

    “Are you open or not? And why’s everyone staring at me?” The lady questioned surprisedly. “Because you look stunningly beautiful,” Sam didn’t know when the words left his mouth, but on second thought, he was glad he said it. Flushes of red rushed up the lady’s cheekbones, she smiled and looked away feeling embarrassed at Sam’s straightforward compliment.It wasn’t Charity’s intention but she felt bad anyway, she didn’t want to call it jealousy. Why exactly should she be jealous? Yeah, she liked Sam, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t compliment another woman Yet she felt a tight squeeze on her chest looking at the way Sam focused on the lady. If she really wanted Sam, she would have rejected this job, now that she had accepted, it would be awkward to fall flat for your employer. “Please come in and have a seat, we are open,” Sam finished up his statement, while the lady was still standing in front of him blushing. He had never seen a lady so beautifully made, the first one was Ame

    Sam was surprised to see Emily standing inside the elevator, he wasn’t the only one who was astonished by her presence, Charity was mostly confused than surprised. And above that, Emily was confused too. Did Sam work in the same company as her? That would be a real red flag to what they had planned. Although if Sam worked here, he wasn’t going to be in a small position considering the guards and this woman that follows him all around, Emily thought. Nevertheless, this was the first time she was seeing him in Ethan’s Corporation, where she had been working for over three years which would conclude that Sam must be a new employee or something. They all stood there, and each person froze in their spot until the elevator door started closing again, the guard held it and glanced at Sam. Sam nodded and walked into the elevator, his gaze not leaving Emily. She was now wearing a black blazer on her dress making her look more official. The three guards and Charity stood in front of them

    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.

    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

    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

    “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
