Sam walked out of the hospital and took a cab back to her house in a daze. "Sam?" her mother called the moment she walked through the door, "Are you okay?"However, Sam was oblivious to anyone and anything. She simply took the stairs to her room and locked the door behind her, the doctor's words still ringing in her ears.'I think you might be pregnant,'Sam sat hopelessly on her bed as tears began to form in her eyes. When she thought about the impossibilities surrounding ever being with Ian, the tears began to flow very quickly.She began to sob and curse herself. It was bad getting pregnant at the stage of her life.

Only when she remembered this did she calm down and stopped crying.* * *The next day, Sam and Ian were seat

Sam snapped her hand away.She said with a straight face, "No."Before he could say anything else, Sam had gone. Kevin and Karen would soon get to the airport and so Sam joined Ian to welcome them. Sam couldn't help but smile at her friend's glow-up. The one month vacation seemed worth it."I missed you, Sam!" Karen declared as she put her arms around her friend and kissed her cheek."I missed you too," Sam repliedAs men, Kevin and Ian did not showcase any emotion. Instead, Ian said,"Glad you're back, I will die if I go another day heading that company!"Kevin merely smirked. Although he was back in the city, he was not ready to return to the mansion. If it were up to him, he'd have remained with Karen away from everyone else however Karen insisted on coming back.The limousine took them to a five star hotel and Kevin booked a room for him and Karen and was about to book for Ian and Sam as well when Sam cleared her throat, turning all attention to her."I'll prefer a separate room

"She's Kevin Kord's wife!" said Sam, "Don't speak to her in that manner!"Amelia appeared shocked. She gazed even more irritatingly at Karen and regained her composure."Let me guess," she chuckled, "You got Kevin by deceitful means, didn't you? You both are shameless and would not leave rich men alone!"She glared at Sam, "Your friend might have succeeded in getting Kevin but as long as I live you will never have Ian! Mark my words!""Miss Smith," Karen stepped forward, "Stop being insecure. My friend has no intentions of being with Ian. You should tell your fiancee to stay away instead.""Is that so?" Amelia smirked, "Have you asked her why she was on his bed a month ago?! Despite knowing that he belonged to me she threw herself at him shamelessly! If she stops casting her eyes towards Ian he would stop thinking about her!""Besides, why is she in the same hotel as him, huh?""This was Kevin's doing," answered Karen."I don't care!" Amelia shrieked, "As long as she is closer to Ian
A Paradise Called Us 83-Whom to choose?
Karen was distraught. She wanted to go up to them and ask why Kevin lied to her. She wanted to go up to them and ask if Kevin pretended to be over Selene just to get her to bed and have his father's will? But she did not move an inch.Even if all these thoughts passed through her head, she feared the fact that they might turn out to be true. So she turned and found her way back to Elliot's car.He joined her inside the car and said, "I know you're hurting Karen but it's what you get when you don't listen to me. You have seen me as the heartless one meanwhile it is Kevin who is infact heartless. And my wife..""She deceived me as well," he paused and added, "I'd gone through her phone just few days ago and found her chats with Kevin. They got in touch even when Kevin was with you during the vacation."He slipped out his phone and handed it to her, "Here, if you don't believe what I'm saying."However, Karen shook her head and simply said, "Please take me home."Elliot obediently did as

"Look, it's Mac and Cheese," Karen said with a smile as she dropped the plate in front of Zachary."Here's yours, Aunt Maya." planting a soft kiss on the woman's cheek she said, "Your favorite, spiced turkey. I made it just the way you like it."Karen stared at the table filled with food however Aunt Maya and her cousin, Zachary were not eating. Instead they had a forlorn look on their faces.Aunt Maya said, "There was no need for this, Karen""Why not?" Karen chuckled "It's the New Year and this is how we celebrate it, remember? I make your favorites each year.""This is different," Zachary lifted his gaze "Why are you pretending, Karen?""Pretending?" Karen gave a sad chuckle "I'm not pretending.""Should I remind you that this is your last New Year celebration?" Zachary said with clenched jaw "You have only eleven months left and, God, you're so happy. How can you be happy?"Finally found out, Karen took her seat quietly beside Aunt Maya who began to weep."I know," Karen replied c
A Paradise Called Us 02-The proposal
"You've no idea what you mean, Kevin." Mrs Kord objected "As the only son of the Kord family you deserve an almost perfect wife which will be if not impossible, difficult to find.""Mother, calm down." Kevin said "I have someone in mind.""You do?" asked a surprise Mrs Kord."Good then," Mr Kord remarked before getting up and leaving the table. Elliot followed suit but hid in the shadows to eavesdrop.Mrs Kord leaned forward and whispered, "Who is she? Do you really love her or did you just make that up to impress your father??""No," answered Kevin "There is infact someone and you know her. I have always been in love with her mom.""Oh, I see.." her words trailed of and then picking up her pace she asked "Are you speaking of Selene Wilson?""Yes.""I..I thought you both are just strictly childhood friends??" "We are," Kevin sipped his wine "But I grew to love her beyond a childhood friend.""Alright..but..but does she love you?"Turning, Kevin frowns and then says "Of course she doe

The Wilsons, Kords, the paparazzi and even the crowd gathered were thrown into shock. Their disappointment reverberated in their unexpected gasp. Elliot smiled.Selene was about to turn around and leave when Kevin got up on his feet and grabbed her wrist just in time. He twirled her around."Selene," his voice cracked "Why..why won't you marry me? Did I say or do something wrong?"Selene jerked her wrist from his grip."You're blind, Kevin." she replied "That's what you did wrong! You're blind and you want to use me to cover up your weakness!""Selene, why would you think so? I'm not using you," he paused and added "I'm marrying you because I love you.""No, don't lie to me! Do you want to deny the disgrace that accompanies marrying you-a blind man! You speak of fulfilling my dreams, Kevin but this is not my dream. I don't dream of getting married to a blind man who walks around with a stick to find his way."Kevin opened his mouth to speak and then shut them again, hurt by her choice
