SAMANTHA'S POVThat sound. Someone was knocking on the door that morning and I needed to force myself into wakefulness. I had overslept clearly and my eyes raced around until my brain registered the sound."Who's it?" I asked loudly.My eyes went straight to my husband who was lying down on the bed. I needed to be certain that he was still alive and upon noticing his rising and falling chest, I was satisfied with what was happening right now.I got off the bed as clearly, the person at the door did not hear me. Carefully, I opened the door and found the doctor standing in front of the door."Good morning doctor." I said to him,"Morning, ma'am. How's Mr DeGeneres?" He asked me.I looked behind at Emilio before turning back to him."Alive. Breathing." I said."Great. I need to check on him." He said to me,"Sure. Feel free." I said stepping aside but he did not move. "Anything the matter, doc?" "There's a man outside. Says he wants to see you." He said to me,"A man?" I was repeatedly
SAMANTHA'S POVI could not believe what had just happened and how seriously my aunties had taken the whole thing with George but regardless, I did like the fact they showed up now. Ma'am Jacqueline on the other hand was totally not having it with me for the scenario I had caused them. I could not blame her though, she had every right to feel angered by the presence of the other guy."I did not ask him to come here." I said to her when it had become clear she thought I wanted to hang with him."You were out, standing with him." She pointed out the vain truth."Yes. I was but I had been asking him to leave before you came." I said."Didn't look to me like you were asking him to leave." She responded."What did it look like then? I'm being honest here with you, auntie. I sincerely demanded that he leaves but you should know already that he's stubborn." I explained which was a way to cover up my growing anger."You want a man to leave, then you should be wanton about it. You shouldn't be
EMILIO'S POVI had been through hell and back again. At some point, I actually believed that I was not going to make it but perhaps, this was going to be a case where I too get my own second chance at loving my wife. I suddenly felt life being drained out of me as my temperature had been rising above its normal temperature. It did not feel right and I wanted to feel better right now. There was a coldness within but I was really hot on the outside.Was that it? The feeling people usually get before they pass on?Samantha was there. I heard her scream for the doctor and all I could think of was how I would be able to manage through and reassure her that I was going to be alright. I did not want her to worry about my health. To be more specific, I did not feel like I deserved her worries. She needed to calm down and get some rest as she had been really worried.All this while, she had been receiving the back end of the treatment while I went around frolicking with women who would never a
DOMINIC'S POVI had been nearly the same as a prisoner in this place as it would seem that I was being watched carefully. Emilio's men were everywhere and they looked as stern as anyone could be. I was yet to see him again and it was a little wonder why.Perhaps, he had forgotten about me but if so, what about his men?I worried about Samantha greatly at this point. Whatever had become of her bothered me as I could very well remember that she had been hoping to get away from Emilio, had she achieved her plans or had he gotten to her too?I needed to leave. It did not matter how I felt or whether I was healed. I just knew that it would be best I get out of this place.The nurses and doctors were really nice to me. Little wonder why... Things were not just right here and the plan I had was to make a run for it from this place and then somewhere far away. I would certainly look for Samantha when I feel much better or possibly, would call her.Bolting out of this place was not easy at al
SAMANTHA'S POVRelief spread through me when I saw it was not Joey coming but one of his men approaching me. The other door to the bus where the passengers were opened and others started to come out. This man came to me and I looked genuinely worried like he was the bearer of obvious bad news."Good morning, miss." He greeted me."Good morning. Where's Joey?" I asked him."Oh, he put me in charge. He has other matters to attend to. Is now a good time to continue the renovations?" He asked me.I turned and looked at Emilio who was looking at me like he had just caught me cheating red handedly. Oh, he has the nerve to look at me like that when we both know he is way worse than I am. That asshole of a man who I love is really something.I turned to the guy and smiled."Absolutely. I would like it to get finished pretty much sooner than later. I might be traveling soon too." I said to him,"You got it, ma'am." He said and smiled as he turned to his men. "Let's get to it boys."I walked ba
EMILIO'S POVObviously, I would not argue my way through this one as clearly there was nothing a man in my state could do. I allowed the doctor to lead me away to the room where he insisted I needed rest. Samantha's aunties seemed like the next thing to family and even more, I loved the treatment they were giving me.Nevertheless, I would not argue at all. I just had one thing to do and that was of course to lay my head down and rest. She would be back regardless and I only needed to hope that she would not be taken away from me.Now, the sins I had committed against her were beginning to overwhelm me to an extent, I was actually beginning to consider having a confession session with a priest.Mon Dieu!!! I am evil.All this while, she must really be confused and worried about her inability to get a child after losing the first pregnancy which was all my fault.Perhaps, I shall have to tell you a little bit of what I had done that would mean that I deserve no forgiveness from either G
DOMINIC'S POVThe moment I heard the announcement, I knew just one thought in my head and that was to make a run for it or get caught. I could notice the other patients looking weirdly at me when I passed them and hence, I tried to guide my escape by flashing smiles at him. I suddenly lifted up my head to look and then I noticed how much closer I was to the doors that were slowly getting closed. I picked up pace.The security personnels were busy trying to stop people from getting through and I reckoned that this could be my last chance to escape.I had gotten near now. Near to my freedom and I would rather I make it out."There he is!!!" I heard the voice and turned to look over my shoulder.It was the bodyguards from my ward along with a team of doctors. I noticed how they were all focused on me as the confused bodyguards could not make out who exactly they were talking about as there were also a number of patients making their way to the door.Act natural...This was the only thing
SAMANTHA'S POV "Is my husband home?" I asked as I stepped out of my car catching sight of Emilio's Buick in the parking lot. It was unusually off as he had told me that morning he had a lot going on for him at the office while I left to get my hair done.The servants were all staring at me awkwardly like there was something off and would not answer me. I recalled this scenario like a deja Vu had hit me. The awkward silence and glances. Emilio was at it again and this would certainly not be the first. Quickly I pushed my key to the potter standing before me and angrily made my way into the house.The shock I got started from the sitting room upon seeing the female handbag on the sofa and there were clothes littered around the area. Two glasses and a bottle on a stool. I nearly could not believe my eyes but I was surprised, absolutely not. I wanted to scream his name and go upstairs and make a scene but the question on my mind was clear. How much more drama would I be making over a man
