Everyone in the room gazed at Sam in silence as he walked in, they weren’t surprised; they just weren’t expecting him at all.Only one person was a little stunned at the man who just walked in, and it was Elena, she knew at once who the man was; he looked so much like the young Ethan. Sam paused and glanced around the room, his bright smile slowly disappearing from his face. Something was definitely going on in this room, he thought. “What’s going on?” Sam stared at Ethan with curiosity. The woman sitting close to Jonathan had an angry expression on her face even though she didn’t know it. Jonathan wasn’t smiling at all, and his father looked so worried. What could have happened? Sam kept thinking. “You came at the right time, son. I was just telling my wife about you, she would be your stepmom as from now,” Ethan managed a smile, but it couldn’t cover up his worry.“I won’t be a stepmother to a bastard, Ethan, not until you do what I want,” Elena growled, she wasn’t even concerne

Emily pretended to be looking at one of the shoes, she didn’t want Sam to see her face or his eyes meeting with hers. As she thought about his question, she had nothing to do that evening, but going on a date with Sam could trigger what she was trying to avoid now that she was his secretary. However, rejecting him would also seem awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn’t as if she didn’t like Sam, if he wasn’t her boss; she wouldn’t even think twice on the question. Emily knew Sam would have thought about it too, that having an affair with his secretary was unprofessional; maybe he had let his emotions take over, and Emily wasn’t really ready to give in.Not so soon. “I… I think I do, yeah,” Emily took one of the shoes and faced Sam, but she wasn’t staring at him, she was pretending to admire the shoe. “You think?” Sam was starting to feel impatient. He wanted Emily, and he wanted her fast. Although he wasn’t going to rush into the relationship, he just wanted to let her know his int

The silence had been longer than a minute, before Sam finally broke it. He was totally lost for words, but he had to say something; “It’s too late, Charity. Why didn’t you tell me this the first day I hired you?” Sam questioned, his hand covering his face. If he wanted to behave like the wealthy unconcerned billionaire that he was, he would have just discarded Charity’s feelings, but he respected the fact that she had loved him long before he became rich. “I was scared….I was scared to lose both you and the job,” Charity stuttered, sounding like she was about to cry. “You should have told me,” Sam persisted, his face still covered with his hands; he didn’t want to tell Charity that he was infatuated with her the very first day he saw her at the fair. Emily had taken all his ability to love someone else, even though she hadn’t agreed yet. But he had fallen in love with her faster than he did with Amelia. “I know, but I didn’t; and I keep feeling so awful anytime you talk to women

“Are you seriously asking that question, Amelia?” Derek glanced at her with a shocking expression and then looked back at the road. “I mean, I’m just thinking, what if he’s telling the truth?” Amelia persisted, she knew she shouldn’t be doubting; but the confidence that those last words carried was so intimidating. Someone who seems to be telling a lie would not have so much confidence. “Tell me, Amelia, how can someone become so wealthy within the twinkle of an eye. How?” Derek questioned, his eye brows squinted forming an angry expression. Amelia hesitated, she just didn’t know how all this was happening. Derek’s question was valid, getting rich between the twinkle of an eye is nearly impossible; especially when you know that person in and out. To her, Sam was an orphan that was being taken care of by his grandfather; Jonathan. He had no relatives or siblings, and the grandfather had nothing. The only way Sam would have gotten so much money in the blink of an eye is if he went

Katerina Cooper walked in slowly, as everybody stared at her. She was very old, even though she was ten years younger than Cooper himself, she looked older. Total gray hair, that seemed like it would have been blonde, and her mouth curled up evidently showing that she had lost some teeth. Katerina was Helen’s and Selena’s mother, unlike Ethan whose mother and father were dead. Helen still had her parents, although they won’t live very long now. “Mother, he’s alive,” Selena went to her mum, to help her towards the cushion, Katerina vision wasn’t very clear like normal. Sam just stood there, with Charity beside him, there was no anger inside of him anymore, the rage he had brought with him had died completely. Seeing how these people reacted meant that they had hoped that he would come and they were actually waiting for him to visit. Such a kind of faith, he had never seen. Katerina suddenly became uneasy when she heard what Selena said, she understood who the “he” stood for. T
