THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Blessing of a Father
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

Sam stood immediately and caught Emily as she fell, preventing her from hitting her head on the hard floor. She landed on his arms, unconscious; Sam was instantly dumbfounded, she didn’t show any sign of weakness or distress and just in the blink of an eye, she was lying in his arms unconscious. “Guards!!!” Sam yelled, his voice loud but shaky and his expression covered in despair and confusion. What could be happening? Just two weeks of peace and now another issue had come up, and it looked as if it was life threatening. It would be so heartbreaking if the woman he was trying all his life to protect died beside him without anybody’s intervention. The guards rushed to where Sam was and helped him carry Emily, “Quickly, to the car, we need to get to the hospital as fast as we can, all of the guards follows me except my butler and one house security guard,” Sam yelled, following behind the men that carried Emily, while the others rushed to fulfill his instructions. “Why always me!”
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Threat, A Twist.
“He sent you, didn’t he?” Sam whispered, his heartbeat rising steadily, Jonathan is back!And he’d fulfill his promises; just when he thought everything was going peaceful, Jonathan was planning to strike again behind the scenes. He was supposed to be ready for Jonathan's strike, but because of the assumption of peace, Sam was caught off guard once again. “I’ve no idea who that is, but you’ll see who sent me, soon.” Smith glanced at the road for a split second whilst still pointing the gun at Sam, they were at the location. Sam was so sure that it was Jonathan who sent Smith, who else could? He couldn’t help but wonder when Jonathan brainwashed Smith, how much did Jonathan offer him? Sam thought. “I’ll pay you ten times what your hirer offered you, Smith; if you betray him right here and now. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and you know I don’t bluff,” Sam looked dead serious at Smith, if he couldn’t solve problems with his mouth, his money should solve it for him. The car c
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE History Repeats Itself
“Elena!!!” Sam yelled, feeling a sudden thud in his chest with his hand tied behind his back and a gun pointing to his head. Smith hid his shock, glanced at Elena from behind Sam, his hands were already getting sweaty holding the weapon for a long period of time. Especially now that Sam knew the truth, if Elena found out about that then his parents would be visiting God’s kingdom. Smith didn’t know anything about Elena, he didn’t even know Elena’s name was Elena. All he knew was that Elena was the one behind all his problems, and she told him about Ethan’s corporation, not the full details but she let him know that it was what they needed from Sam. Elena scoffed and walked down the few steps of the bungalow to meet with Sam. She was feeling so happy, her plan was working so perfectly. This is what she’d have done in the first place, instead of allowing Jonathan to waste away an innocent girl’s life. She signaled to the driver who was carrying Emily, and he walked past Sam and Smi
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Tension In a Room
The tension in the small room increased and Sam squeezed his fists tight, he was certain that Elena was bluffing, there was no way he’d even use Emily’s life to guess if Elena was being serious or not. Elena’s unrecognizable guard came forward and removed the sack cloth from Emily’s head allowing the smell of debris to hit her nostrils. The first person she saw was Sam, and she immediately knew what was happening, for a moment there; she wasn’t entirely awake till the guard removed the sack cloth. Emily tried getting up from the chair only to discover she had been tied to it, she looked back and shivered when she saw Elena, she knew who Elena Cole was; how wouldn’t she, after working for Ethan for five years. Emily had never liked Elena even in previous years, although it was part of the fact that Elena was always thinking she’d try and seduce or steal her husband, there was a time Elena even threatened her. “You’ll be fine, Em. Just stay calm,” Sam assured her when he noticed he
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Blood and Guns
(Meanwhile….)Derek paced the room back and forth, it was the same room they always had their meetings; Jonathan was also there, occupying one of the dining chairs the room had while he sipped a beer. Elena had told them to wait in the room, if Sam agreed to transfer the ownership of Ethan’s corporation she’d give them a call so the next process would be done, but however, it was almost two hours now and there hadn’t been any call from Elena. Derek was starting to run out of patience, and he was getting uncomfortable with all of these acts, Jonathan had been compromised, if Elena didn’t get the right answer from Sam, she’d also be compromised, which means; one day, Sam would expose them to the police for threat and for killing his ex personal assistant. Derek knew that Sam would have been told that Jonathan was in with them, and he was the one behind all these threats. If Elena’s approach didn’t work, he would be in a mess. “Take a chill, Derek, don’t you trust your mother?” Jonat
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Tears Like Raindrops
(Somewhere in Between) “Drive a little faster, Shawn,” Clinton frowned, he was sitting in the front of one the Landrovers that his security team uses for operations. Sam had tapped the button some few minutes ago and he had to get there as soon as possible. He had been investigating the case of Jonathan for a while now without finding anything suspicious apart from the fact that Jonathan was always visiting Derek, and Elena also. That alone was enough to deduce that something was going on, but he couldn’t just jump into conclusions that Jonathan and Elena was plotting to take Ethan’s corporation from Sam and give it to Derek. It was something so obvious since it was the same thing Elena and Derek wants to do, but doing it in such a way was what Clinton was finding hard to believe. “We would be there in fifteen to twenty sir, no matter how fast I drive,” the driver responded but he also increased his speed as instructed. Clinton nodded, and continued staring at the road, luckily

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
