Chapter 35
Samantha
My brother and I are both struggling as we live together in an apartment. After we left Rachel's house, Rom visited us and apologize for what he said, although I didn't really admit that I overheard their conversation. Three months later, Shane's investment works. Now, we're starting to live a normal and simple life while I'm pregnant with my child.Staring at my own reflection in the mirror, I was caressing my four months baby bump. I'm starting to move on, but I cannot really say that I'm happy. There's a big hole in my heart, and it's certainly Jacob's place. I miss him, so much. After our last conversation in the hospital, he didn't show up to me anymore. I can only see him through magazines, billboards, internet, and TV. I can say that he's definitely out of my reach, but I can't stop my heart from beating for him.“Sammy!”I quickly wore my robe and went out of my room. I saw Shane sitting on his wheelchair. He smiled at me as he poRelated chapters

SamanthaI was staring back at Jacob. He was just standing at the other side of the elevator, staring down at me, and I'm completely intimidated. I know it's not his intention, but I can't help it. Seeing him now, I can really say that I'm not ready to face him yet.He rolled his tongue over his lips, wetting it. “How are you?”I don't know. I don't know how I manage to answer him, but I saw him nodded. Did I answer yet?He pressed his lips together as he looked down. “I'm sorry. I know, you made it clear to me. I understand, I just… don't have any idea that this is where your brother invest.”I nodded. That is not his fault. If not because of my brother, I would really think that our encounter here is purely coincidental.“It's nothing. I'm good, by the way. Starting to live a normal life.” I managed to answer despite the threat of cracking my voice.He nodded and rested his back against the elevator. From the ground, h
A Liar's Confession Chapter 37
SamanthaI was pushing my cart of groceries when I bumped into someone's cart. I lifted my chin to apologize, but my words were left hanging as I recognized the woman pushing the other cart. I still remember everything she told me. Still remember how small I felt like back when she was mocking me in the hospital. Still as elegant in her dress, she tilted her head as if trying to remember me.I slightly bowed my head and pulled the cart. I pushed it to the side to avoid her cart, but she purposely blocked my way. Her eyebrows swiftly shot up as she grinned at me. “Oppps! My bad!”I heaved a sigh, calming myself. I asked help from Rachel to find the connection of this woman to Jacob, and it turns out she is his older sister. Jacel Lee.“I see you're still wandering around here after dumping my brother. Are you waiting for him to chase you? Sorry to burst your bubble, bitch, he won't,” she added. Smirk and mocking tone didn't leave his lips and voice. She's really
A Liar's Confession Chapter 38
Jacob LeeI went home right after the meeting. I didn't know Samantha would be there. How cruel this fate can be? I'm trying so hard to keep my distance from her, but fate doesn't seem to like my decision. I respect her. I love her. I care for her. If letting her go will ease and mend the pain in her heart—that pain I helped to carve—I will risk my heart and happiness, so she can find her own happiness and contentment.Loving her was the most consistent feeling I ever felt. I was so damn happy when I get the chance to be with her. I made her smile. I made her laugh, but after all of that, I made her cry. I broke her. I regret everything I did, so I'm trying to move on, trying to correct my mistakes, but I can't. She's been haunting me every fucking second. She was in my dreams, and when I open my eyes, she was in my mind. It's killing me, wide-eyed. That woman is my first love and my only love. I only dreamed of marrying her, spending my life with her and our futur

Jacob LeeI was counting days. It's been two days since I declared my decision of stepping down as the CEO of VFHL Corporation. The whole company was blown in shock because of my sudden decision. It even reached the national TV, and reporters and magazine writers have been chasing me and waiting for me to step out of my condo unit.I know, these two days is an ultimatum of my grandfather for me. Certainly, tomorrow everything will be blown again into another series of mess. I'm trying to ready myself because I know they won't let it slide. They will surely drag Samantha in this mess, including all the people around us. South Venture surely won't be spared, either.Massaging my temple, I looked at the screen of my laptop. South Venture Inc is where I and Shane Miller invested. It is a company of Resort and hotel.Heaving a sigh, I went to my personal email and started typing a message for my lawyer. I need to prepare for my grandfather's revenge.After I send the email, my phone rang.
A Liar's Confession Chapter 40
SamanthaI was biting my lips while waiting for Jacob. I called him because I was worried, but I wasn't able to stop my heart again. I want him. I love him. And now that I realized a possibility of losing him completely, I just lost it.I swallowed hard. It's only been five minutes since our call ended, but it feels like a thousand years of waiting.My breathing hitched when a car stopped in front of my apartment. The door was pushed open, followed by Jacob, who immediately got off his car and rushed to me.It became slow. Everything seemed to slow down. Jacob was staring directly at my eyes as he walked towards me.“Jacob…” I whispered.He stopped in front of me. In no less than a second, I was inside his warm embrace. He's hugging me tight, so tight, and right as if his life depended on me.“Thank you… Samantha, thank you for h-having me again!” He whispered with a shaking voice.Slowly, I lifted my arms and hugged him back. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I buried my face in his ches
A Liar's Confession Chapter 41
SamanthaMy fists are balled as I sat on the chair beside my brother. Jacob took the chair on my right, holding my balled fists. I'm sitting across Jacob's wicked sister. She was glaring at me. I don't even know why she's here. I'm certain she's not part of the company, not even a stockholder—or it's just what I thought?Heaving a sigh, I glanced at Jacob, who gently squeezed my fists. He stared into my eyes as if calming me down, and telling me everything will be handled just fine.Admit it or not, I am indeed nervous. Today, at this very moment, there's a big chance that my life will turn upside down for the second time. It feels like I will lose everything in an instant, and it's scaring the hell out of me. How can I fight with them when they're using their money and I don't have anything with me but courage and dignity.Jacel Lee lifted her chin after her parents came, followed by an old man in suit and walking stick. His dangerous aura brought negativity around the four cornered
A Liar's Confession Chapter 42
Samantha's POVI'm silently sitting on the passenger seat while Jacob is driving. Behind me is Shane and beside him is Theo. He left his car in front of the company, saying it has a tracking device on it.I keep on glancing at Jacob. Anger is still visible on his face. Worried, I slowly caressed his arm. He glanced at me and his eyes softened. "I'm sorry about Jacel."I smiled and shook my head. "It's fine, Jacob. It's nothing."His jaw clenched. "They haven't started. My grandfather will do everything to make us struggle severely.""Don't worry, Jacob," Theo paused and tapped his cousin's shoulder. "I got some help here."My forehead creased when he lifted a black briefcase while smirking.Jacob glanced at him through the rearview mirror. "What's that?""Money," Theo grinned and chuckled. "You're not the only smart boy here, Jacob."Jacob chuckled at what his cousin said. He shook his head. "When did you put that in there?""Hmm! You left your car open, Jacob. I paid some kid around
A Liar's Confession Chapter 43
Samantha's POVFor me, our lives didn't change that much, but for Jacob and Theo—it did, big time. I know they're having a hard time living a new life, which was far from their lives before. They said, we'll have a vacation on this island, turns out we will live a simple life like the other people here.The island is private, but there are people living here. Most of them are families of fishermen, and they seem to love the life here."Sam."I looked at my back and smiled at Shane. It's been a week since we got here on the island. Theo and Jacob went fishing every morning. Sometimes, they do that for our meal, but most of the time—to sell, so they can support us. They're enjoying their lives, I can see it, but I'm still worried that they'll eventually realize that they trade their lives for us. They sacrificed too much.Shane stopped beside me, still sitting in his wheelchair. I'm just standing by the door, watching Jacob fixing the fishing net after they got back from the mid-sea.S
