Declan knew that it was a serious affair when a woman said they needed to talk. He wondered what had prompted her request. Samantha could not have possibly found out about the ploy they intended to carry out.
He packed up the few things he had come to Abigail's place with and alerted Jason, his pilot, that he was ready to go back to the island. He told Abigail that there was an urgent business meeting at home and his presence was required.
His phone rang when he arrived at the airport. It was Samantha and he dreaded answering it. He answered however on the second ring.
"I've been waiting at the hotel for over an hour now," she said once he pressed the phone to her ears.
"You know there is no need for that," he
Declan was not sure he heard what she had just said properly. He turned sharply to look at her."Are you sure?" He asked her. She nodded."I thought you would want to have that with Anthony instead," he said to her.Samantha was quiet as though she was thinking deeply about it. Anthony was a good man, no doubt, but he was still hung up on his last relationship and was a mummy's boy. She did not think she wanted to raise a son with someone like that. She needed a man to handle that aspect of her life, and Declan looked like one.We've always wanted a child together and I was thinking why don't we do this together too?" She asked him, not willing to taint Anthony there and then. "I was thinking of presenting you with that offer some time ago," he said to her. "But you were insisting on leaving me," she added.She turned to look at him. "I want us to do this together," she said quietly. "Co-parenting with you does not sit well with me. I want you to remain my wife," he said to her as
Samson arrived just in time to pick Hannah up for their date. He missed the evening session because he had another meeting. He was such a busy man these days that she wondered if he had time for himself. He would have no time to simp over her again. She had informed Kennedy and told him not to come to pick her up as she already had a ride. He insisted that he was told to take care of her, but she asked him not to worry about anything. Samson was waiting in the car when she came out of the hall. She entered the car immediately and he gave her a warm embrace. "I hope I'm in no trouble with your bodyguard, right?" He asked her in an amused tone as he began to drive. She looked at him. "Are you by any chance talking about Kennedy?" She asked him. "Of course," he replied and they both laughed. "Come on, he is just doing the job he was paid to do," she said to him. "And I must admit that he is very good with it," he replied. He drove on as they talked about other things. Whenever
As Declan stepped into the party arena, his eyes scanned the whole place for Samantha. He needed to especially appreciate her for what she had done for him.She helped him save face with Louis. He knew that she said she was going to do her research, but she had not been joking about it at all.She had dug out his records, including his dubious business deals. The amazing part was that she had it all on paper, which she duplicated and shared with all members of the board when she came in.They were surprised at it all and they all came to an agreement that Lucas be sanctioned.Declan thought about how much he had been sabotaged in the past. To avoid that sort of event, he made a final decision that Louis
Hannah was looking forward to seeing Samson later in the day. She no longer anticipated seeing Kennedy and she had told him not to bother about coming to pick her up until she asked him to."I will keep looking after you nevertheless," Kennedy said to her. His words were thoughtful and as he walked out of her room that morning.She had not taken out time to take in the handsome man that was her bodyguard. He was tall, well-built, and overprotective of her. Something about the way he carried out his duty, always in a pair of shades fascinated her. He was also a gentleman to the core and she wondered if he had someone he was with already.She called Samson after the morning session but he was not answering his phone. She tried three more times but he would not answer. It left
Hannah lay on her bed, crying profusely with her phone in her hand as she looked through the pictures on the internet. She could not believe that Samson would ever do this to her, right under her nose. She could not believe that she was so carried away by her longing for companionship that she had not noticed his plans all along. He got married in the morning and was on a chopper with her in the afternoon. It was probably his way of getting back at her. If it was, then he did so well for himself. She looked through the social media profile of the girl he had married. She was the daughter of an Australian business mogul, and he owned half of the city. The girl was a Harvard graduate that managed a
Hannah jumped off the bed immediately and it startled Kennedy who stood up and began to get dressed."Get out of my room," she shouted at him."Can you calm down?" He asked her gently. She would not hear of it."I said get out," she shouted again, pointing at the door.Kennedy seemed embarrassed as he walked out of the suite not fully dressed. He could probably use a bathroom nearby.She headed into the bathroom immediately to have her bath. Her flight was in an hour and she did not want to miss it. She would find something for her throbbing headache on the way to the airport.As she got out with her bag, Kennedy rushed
They soon sat down to a bottle of wine and Declan decided to go first.After the hotel argument, Samantha went ahead to discuss parenting and adoption with Anthony and he was more than willing to do so with her even if he had no idea that they were doing things behind his back.Anthony went ahead and joined the rest of the party leaving them both with a heavy tension between them."What are you playing at?" He asked Samantha."I don't understand what you mean," she said to him and took a sip of her drink."I can as well go up there and tell Anthony everything that has been going on at his back between me and his perfect girlfriend," he said.
Samantha read through the message again as she could not believe her eyes. Just when she was having a change of mind towards their relationship, he decided to switch up on her.She felt something tug in her throat, something that looked like nausea, a certain kind of irritation that made her lightheaded. The thought of losing Declan was what did it to her.She wanted to refrain from going to Declan's mansion but it was obvious she did not have any choice. It was at this point that she realized that she may not be able to give him what he wanted as well.She dialed Anthony's number but he did not answer on the first and second ring.He was probably carried away by the party. It was the way he was. H
