CLYDE                  Clyde went out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. While he and his son are having a hearty breakfast of toast, bacon and egg, Samantha took the opportunity to take a bath. Now, she is in front of her vanity mirror, drying her her. She is wearing a white spaghetti strapped top tucked in a cream shorts with suit fabric. He approached her. She seemed not to notice his presence so he stood behind her. Samantha’s eyes grew wide as she saw his refletion from the mirror. She immediately looked at him.                “Jesus Christ! Will you stop showing in front of me naked?!”          &n

CLYDE                  Clyde decided to go straight to his parents’ house after getting a call from his mother. His mom started nagging him about this and that so in order for her to stop, he agreed to go back home before heading to his office to work. He can’t help but smile while shaking his head thinking about his mother. She’s a typical housewife growing up. Since their father was busy with making millions with his own construction company, their mom was a stay at home wife looking after them. He has one older brother and one younger sister. His older brother Rafael, who is now happily married with a four-year-old daughter and another baby on the way, is the one who took over the family business after his father retired. His younger sister, Maxine, is pursuing her own dream of being a su

SAMANTHA                   “So, are you prepared to tell me everything?”, asked Kylie. They went in a karaoke bar so they have this whole karaoke room all to themselves. They ordered a lot. Fried chicken, fries, tacos and even potato chips paired with a pitcher of iced tea.                 This will be a really long discussion, Samantha thought to herself. “Order beer first. Or anything that has alcohol.”                 “Uh-oh. No, sweetheart. I’m driving.”                 “You are, but I’m not. Besides, I don’t think I can tell you everything without the help of alcohol,” she explained.  

CHAPTER XVIII CLYDE Clyde never felt as exhausted as like this before. Some days he got tired, alright. But not like this. Yet, he’s okay. He feels hapy and contented for the first time in his life. After he left Samantha’s bedroom, he went down to check his son. Rosa was waiting for him before she bid her goodbye and went home. He called in his house and asked one of the maids to bring him everything he needs. Suits, clothes, shoes and all that sorts. They were watching the tv when the doorbell rang. He smiled, his staff are the best. They made it in less than 30 minutes. “Just give me a sec, buddy,” he said and his son looked at him and noded. He stood and walk straight to the door. He saw, Thomas, one of his drivers standing in front of the gate. He gestured him to open the gate. Two of her houskeepers, Mercy and Anna got out of the car holding suit bags. He saw Thomas opening the trunk to get boxes of what seems to be his shoes. They all entered

CHAPTER XX CLYDE He woke up finding that Samantha woke up before him. Clyde took his phone on top of the side bed drawer 8:30 am. What the heck? He never woke up past seven before. Hell, he can’t even remember the last time he woke up that late. Being a businessman means you need to wake up early before the sun even goes up. He immediately went into the bathroom to do his thing and brush his teeth. He washed his face and looked himself in the mirror. When he was satisified, he exited the bathroom and went downstairs. It’s suspiciously quiet. “Babe?”, he called out when he reached the bottom. No answer. “Samantha? Samuel?”, he called out again. Nothing. He started walking, searching. No one is in the living room where he usually see his son playing. He went straight to the kitchen. Maybe they’re having breakfast, right? But no sign in the kitchen as well. Clyde started to get worried. He ran for the stairs and headed straight to his son bedroom only to
