Theodore, who recognized the woman's face, immediately panicked. The woman was none other than Samantha, the person he had known and just met."Samantha, wake up!"Theodore panicked and quickly grabbed his cell phone."Preston, get the car ready now. I'll be at the back door," Theodore said without being able to elaborate.Preston didn't have time to ask or answer and immediately did what Theodore told him to do. Theodore didn't want Mr. Grendel's party got messed up, so he tried to find the back door of the hotel."Sir, what happened?" Preston saw Theodore come out with an unconscious Samantha in his arms."Let's go home now!"Theodore had no intention of answering Preston's question. Theodore was already panicking when he saw Samantha's blue face and the blood coming from the corner of her head."Hurry up and get a doctor," Theodore said, taking Samantha into his room without thinking."Yes, sir."Preston immediately called for the private doctor who usually took care of Theodore."
The next day, Samantha woke up and got ready for college. Samantha came downstairs carrying her small backpack and a brown coat."Morning, dad." Samantha greeted Mr. Heather, who was already sitting at the dining table."Morning, dear."Mr. Heather, who was playing with his cell phone, put it down and greeted Samantha warmly. Mr. Heather's face changed when he saw the bandage on Samantha's head."What happened?" Mr. Heather stood up and touched Samantha's wound."Samantha got bumped last night. I am fine," Samantha explained with a bitter smile."Are you sure? It looks pretty bad," said a very worried Mr. Heather."I am okay, dad." Samantha touched Mr. Heather's hand and looked deeply into his eyes."Hm, okay."Mr. Heather listened to Samantha's words, and they sat back in their seats. Samantha and Mr. Heather ate breakfast together without any meaningful conversation."Samantha's class lasts until noon, Dad." Samantha informed him. "Samantha is going to the office after lunch.""Okay
Theodore brought Samantha back to his house. Theodore called his personal doctor to check on Samantha's condition. Fortunately, Samantha wasn't badly hurt, but her body was in shock."Preston, please call Mr. Heather and tell him that Samantha is with me."Preston, who heard that, nodded his head, understanding Theodore's order."Also tell him that we have some business to attend to, so Samantha can't come home yet.""Yes, sir.""Thank you."Theodore walked to Samantha's room and closed the door again. Theodore sat next to Samantha and waited until she regained consciousness."Who is he, Samantha? Why is he being rude to you?"All of Theodore's questions went unanswered. Theodore looked at Samantha with a worried and sad face. There was a strange feeling that Theodore felt when he looked at Samantha.Theodore raised his hand and touched Samantha's hair, smoothing it behind her ear. Theodore stared at Samantha's face until he unconsciously drifted away."Theo," called Samantha, who ope
Theodore immediately ordered his entire team to search for Alex's whereabouts. Theodore didn't want the man to roam free. Alex had to be taught a lesson."We have to join them, Preston."Preston nodded his head and grabbed his jacket that was lying on one of Theodore's wooden chairs."Get the car ready, I'll be right there."Theodore ran in the opposite direction to Preston. Theodore went upstairs and knocked on Samantha's bedroom door. Theodore opened it slowly when he didn't get an answer.Apparently, Samantha was fast asleep due to the effects of the medicine given by the doctor. Theodore breathed a sigh of relief before closing the door again."Take care of Samantha, I'm going out for a while.""Don't let Samantha go anywhere.""Yes, sir." The maid bowed politely.Theodore quickly ran down the stairs and found Preston ready at the door in Theodore's car. Preston opened the door for Theodore and then drove towards the big highway."Landon hasn't called yet?" Theodore asked as he co
Theodore returned home with a sense of relief. As soon as he arrived, the servants took off his dirty clothes and prepared warm water for his bath. In addition, they also prepared a change of clothes and aroma therapy.Once ready, Theodore entered the bathroom and submerged his body into the bathtub filled with warm water. Theodore closed his eyes and enjoyed the aroma therapy that was being turned on. Theodore tried to calm his mind this afternoon."Theo! Where are you!"The shout echoed in both of Theodore's eardrums. However, Theodore did not move or even open his eyes.Heavy, irritated footsteps made their way through Theodore's room until they finally approached the bathroom. Samantha immediately opened Theodore's bathroom door, which was not locked by the owner.Samantha opened it and looked at Theodore who was soaking in the bathtub casually while closing his eyes. Without hesitation, Samantha walked forward to Theodore."What have you done?"Theodore, who heard the voice next
"Is your head still heavy?" Theodore asked as he finished the drink in his glass."It's better.""Want to go out?" Theodore offered first."Where to?" Samantha frowned."I don't know, just for a walk."Samantha stared at Theodore for a few seconds as she thought of a response to the offer. Theodore also patiently waited without giving any expression."Okay.""Okay, I'll wait downstairs. Get ready first," Theodore said as he carried the tray of snacks outside."Alright, thank you."Samantha walked Theodore to the front door of the room before he got ready to put on his coat and shoes. Of course, Samantha couldn't change into anything else as she had limited clothes."Preston, get the car ready because I'm going out with Samantha.""Yes, sir."Theodore ran back into his room and got ready. Theodore wore casual clothes, a jacket, pants, and shoes. Tonight, it was cold enough that Theodore would wear thick, layered clothing.After finishing, Theodore ran downstairs and headed to the front
The next day, Samantha and Theodore had breakfast together at the dining table. The two of them had their usual breakfast and it didn't seem like anything happened last night."I'll take you home today." Theodore told Samantha without looking at her."Today? This soon?" Samantha looked a little sad. "Hm, I mean okay."Samantha looked away and focused on eating. Samantha didn't really want to go home so soon, but it was okay because she couldn't stay here forever. Samantha would go back to her daily routine and not be able to see Theodore more often."What are you thinking, Samantha?" she muttered, shaking her head."What's wrong?" Theodore noticed Samantha's strange behavior."Nothing." Samantha finished her breakfast quickly before leaving the dining table. "I'll get ready first and walk down."Samantha simply left, went back to her room, and took all her belongings with her. Samantha went back downstairs and found Landon already standing in front of a car."Please, Ms. Samantha." La
"Alex, don't you know who you're up against?" Theodore was still standing while looking straight at Alex very sternly.Alex also stood up and gave him a murderous look. "I know very well, Mr. Theodore Hawthorne."Theodore snorted in annoyance like a bull in a war zone. Alex was pleased that he had managed to master Theodore's emotions."Who helped you?" Theodore was sure that someone was helping him to do this."I can do it myself, don't you believe it?" Alex didn't want to reveal what really happened."No way, I'm sure there must be a mastermind of all the things you've done.""What do you mean? I said I did this all by myself. Are you really underestimating me?" Alex raised his tone quite high.Theodore chuckled and turned his face away from Alex. That made Alex also annoyed by Theodore's behavior.Alex immediately grabbed Theodore's arm and turned Theodore's body with a single stomp. Their faces met again with anger."Can someone as weak as you do this?" Theodore turned the questio
