THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Big Mistake
It was just one surprise after another, Sam looked at Jonathan in a way that showed that he was trying to understand what he just said. “Ownership of Ethan’s corporation? What are you talking about, Jonathan?” Sam was stunned, what did Jonathan want with Ethan’s corporation? Has Jonathan become so selfish that he also wants the company for himself? Sam thought, maybe that was the reason he was in support of Ethan giving the property to Sam, so he could steal it from him secretly. “You heard that correctly, Sam. This isn’t a joke, it’s either Charity’s life or Ethan’s corporation.” Jonathan warned, his fictitious grin was slowly turning into an ugly frown. There wasn’t much time, he had promised Elena and Derek that it wouldn’t be more than tonight, after bragging that he had what it takes to control Sam; he hoped he could without having to go into violence. “You want the company in exchange for someone's life? Are you really Jonathan, or am I still dreaming, or what the fuck! Did
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Dark Room
Sam couldn’t believe his eyes, the sound of the gunshot and Charity’s yell were all mixed up; Jonathan just fired the shot on Charity, and he could see blood slowly dripping to the ground. This wasn’t the third trial, what the hell was Jonathan doing? “I warned you, Sam. No police, this isn’t over, if you mention anything we did here to the police who would enter this door in less than a minute, Emily dies. No matter the amount of protection or security you put around her, she dies.” Jonathan was frowning angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left through the back door followed by his guards. Leaving Charity bleeding and a confused Sam in the room, just a few seconds after Jonathan left, the FBI broke down the door and entered the room. Sam untied Charity, he wasn’t sobbing or trying to cry at the moment, he was angry; not only at Jonathan but at Emily. She was definitely the one who called the police. But his anger was more ferocious on Jonathan because he threatened t

Sam and Emily stared at each other as he removed the cell phone from his ear. “What did it say?” Emily asked suspiciously, forgetting the first question she just asked. The way Sam's expression was after the call made her curious as to what he just heard on the phone. “I don’t know who this is, but the person wants me to come see Charity in the hospital; and it seems to be urgent. I think it’s definitely someone from the hospital,” Sam had a worried look on his face; why would Charity want to see him immediately when she was taken to the hospital. He actually thought she’d be unconscious for now because of how much blood she might have lost. “Seems she has something important to tell you, maybe something about the kidnapper,” Emily suspicions disappeared, she thought it was something more important; it was seeming that Sam cared about Charity so much and actually it was giving her a kind of toxic vibe but it was still a little. “Yeah, we've got to go to her now.” Sam answered and

“What’s going on doc?” Sam asked as soon as they walked into the ICU, he saw Charity laying on a bed with all the different life support machines beeping while some read her heart rate. “Thought you’d never ask, Mr. Sam, but I’m sure it’d be best if you heard directly from her,” the doctor answered, walking straight to the bed, he was just some inches away when the life machine made a loud sound. The sound was loud and continued, and only the doctor understood it, he ran the rest of the inches to the bed and held Charity, trying to take several medical measures to keep her stable but sadly he was too late. The machine sound went louder than normal then came to an abrupt stop, and the ICU went silent like a grave yard. Sam and Emily stood inches away from the bed, watching the scene like it was a movie. When Sam saw the doctor give a frustrated sigh, he knew what had happened, he ran towards the bed and quickly held Charity hands, it was very cold; and that confirmed what had happe

Clinton was also stunned at Sam’s sudden entrance, and he had never seen Sam so angry before, his eyes were filled with tears that wouldn’t fall off. He couldn’t imagine what must have happened that made the gentle man so angry. “The man you thought is your brother, ain’t really your brother, Dad.” Sam stopped walking when he got close to the bed, his eyes focused only on Ethan who was doing the same to Sam. Ariana had no clue what was going on, so was everybody in the room, except Sam. “Calm down, Sam. Tell me what’s going on,” Ethan spoke lightly, anxious to hear what might be disturbing Sam to this extent. What brother was he talking about, Ethan continued thinking as he waited for his son’s reply. “Jonathan is not who he says he is,” Sam sniffed, he had never felt so down in his life; now that Charity was dead, there was no need to keep any of Jonathan’s secrets to himself. He was so eager to relay the message to his father that he had to dump Emily, although he didn’t reall
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Unexpected Introduction
When the person knocking saw that no one was coming to open the door, she slowly opened it by herself, popping her head inside the room first; when she saw Sam standing next to Ethan and a woman close to the bed, she knew she was in the right place. This was prolly the second time she was coming to Ethan’s mansion and the first time to enter his bedroom. Ethan and Clinton were surprised to see her, Ariana had no idea who she was; Sam was expecting her. He had left the Cadillac and sent one of his guards down there to bring her to the mansion, he just needed a little private time and he got that inside the taxi. Emily walked into the room slowly, glancing at the people in it, one after the other, the only person she wasn’t familiar with was Ariana; but her guess was she was Ethan’s daughter, there was some sort of resemblance between them. “I’m sorry for leaving you behind, Em,” Sam apologized, speaking first after the strange silence that followed Emily’s entrance. Ethan was stil

Ariana had definitely heard of her, maybe seen her once or twice but she didn’t really care about secretaries or receptionists whenever she visited her dad’s company in the past. No one needed to tell her that Emily was way older than Sam, even though she was a beautiful redhead, she was a woman so she knew. Emily glanced at Ariana’s reaction and sighed, burying her face in Sam’s shoulder. She was so embarrassed by all these, it was as if they were looking at an abomination; something that wasn’t supposed to happen. “We’re leaving, if this is how you’d welcome my fiancée, then maybe I shouldn’t have brought her here at all,” Sam frowned and held Emily by her wrist, ready to pull her with him as he walked. “But you will, one day; if you really wish to get married to her,” Clinton chipped in, disallowing Sam from taking his first step towards the door. “I’m so sorry about this, Sam. We never expected it, that’s why our reaction is somewhat embarrassing to her, I’m so sorry, Emily. I
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE A few Moments of Peace
“I couldn’t ask him directly, cause I thought it might ruin the moment. But, your Dad spoke like he was going to die very soon, why’s that?” Emily’s worry was written all over her face. Sam wasn’t expecting that question, he was thinking Emily would ask something about Charity’s death or Ethan’s approval. However, anybody would have observed it, Sam thought it was obvious but it seems Emily just wanted to hear it from him. “Yes, he is going to die soon,” Sam resumed looking out the window, feeling his heart squeeze as he spoke the words. He was really going to miss his dad, but he was always trying not to think about it and the situations he had been through the past few weeks have helped keep the thought out of his mind, but now that Emily had brought it back; it was so heart wrecking. Losing Ethan would also make him the target by the rest of the family who wanted Ethan’s corporation, however; he’d have Clinton and maybe Ariana supporting him. Emily was startled by Sam’s reluc

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
