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
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
“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!”
“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
“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 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
