Her uncle, aunt, and two cousins were already in the cemetery. However, no other family members were present. Amy saw some of her parents’ friends, a few of her parents’ colleagues and staff, and reporters there. When the reporters recognized her, they chased her like dogs ran after a bone. “Miss Brooke, what will happen after this? Since your parents chose your uncle as the successor of their business, what will you do? Will you sue the will?” Then another asked, “I heard your sister is still in the hospital. How is she?” Tom sneered to see that and did nothing to ask them not to bother his niece. Becky Brooke, Amy’s aunt, wanted to approach Amy and helped her deal with the reporters, but Tom stopped his wife by shaking his head. It was Richard Anderson, her parents’ friends, who finally scolded the reporters. “She is grieving. Don’t bother her!” Some reporters were silent, but a few others still chased Amy. Richard couldn’t stand it anymore. He asked some guards to send away
Amy didn’t need to wait for long. Ten minutes later, Miguel entered the small restaurant. He spotted her immediately and nodded. “Ready to go home, miss?” “Yes, but I’ll call Samuel first.” Miguel opened the SUV car door for Amy. Samuel instructed him not to use a fancy car today so no one would notice it. As they needed to stay low key to make Tom off his guard. Amy called Samuel, and he didn’t pick his phone. She wondered if he was busy, but then, when she was about to call him again, he called back. “Darling, have you arrived home yet?” His low and gentle voice greeted her. “Not yet, but Miguel just picked me. I want to ask if you will have dinner at home. I want to cook for you.” Samuel grinned and hummed. “I’ll go home early, then. Thank you, my sweet. I can’t wait to see you soon.” “What do you want to eat?” “Anything. I will eat anything you cook.” “Okay, then. I will buy the groceries now. See you at dinner.” Amy was about to hang up the phone, but Samuel said, “Da
Amy held Samuel’s hand and let out a sigh, but her lips curled into a slight smile. “Having you to support me means a lot.” “You are my woman.” He squeezed her hand. “Of course I must support you.” Then he kissed her lips again and touched her bosom, but then her stomach growled. At first, they didn’t react, but then both laughed hard. She blushed and sat. “I forgot I skipped my lunch. Are you hungry?” “I’m always hungry.” But his eyes stared at Amy’s body. Her face was redder, knowing what he meant was herself, not the food. “Let’s eat first.” Amy walked to her room, put on a casual white t-shirt and shorts. Then she served the steak and salad. “Samuel?” she called him. “Yes, darling?” Samuel came from behind her and kissed her neck. “You smell good.” He licked her neck and sucked it. Then he whispered, “You taste even better.” Amy giggled and released herself. “Let’s eat first. I’m starving.” “Okay, but after this, I want to have you all night long. I’ll send you to wor
He took scissors and cut Amy’s shirt. Amy shrieked because she couldn’t see what happened, but she could feel the cold steel of scissors touch her skin. “What are you doing?” Amy asked. “Removing your t-shirt.” “Oh!” Amy trembled as she thought he used a knife, but then after he threw the piece of t-shirt on the floor, she asked again, “It’s weird that I can’t see anything. It’s what my sister deals with every day.” He kissed her lips and forehead. “Relax. You will feel soon it’s quite satisfying.” Then Samuel removed her shorts. He stripped her underwear too until she was bare as when she was born. Later, he left the room. “Samuel, where are you going? Don’t leave me!” Amy bit her lower lip. She didn’t have any idea what he would do to him. But then Samuel returned. He kissed her lips again and bit her lip to open her mouth. When she opened her mouth, she could feel the wine in his mouth. Moaning because tasting the wine, she smiled a little, part of relief and the rest be
The next day, Amy woke up with Samuel next to her. He still wrapped his arms around her waist, as if he wanted to show his possessiveness, even in his sleep. She wriggled, trying to let go of his arms, but his grip was tight. When she took a deep breath, wondering if she must wake him or remove his arms, a kiss on her shoulder stopped her. “Good morning, my sweet.” “Good morning, my husband-to-be.” She giggled and turned around so she could stare at his eyes. “I need to go to the bathroom.” “Okay, but don’t be too long. I still want to lie next to you.” He released his arms that caged her body. Amy rushed to the bathroom, then when she finished and wanted to go back to the bed, she gasped to see the hickeys everywhere. Amy hadn’t worn her clothes yet, so in her nudity, she could see everything. She returned to the bed and pouted. “Samuel, look what you’ve done!” “What?” He took her hand and pulled her so she sat on the bed. “The hickeys! Oh, how can I meet your grandma today
After the lawyer left the apartment, Amy hugged Samuel. Her eyes sparked with tears because she was happy that he fulfilled his promise to her. “Hey, why are you crying?” Samuel wiped her tears. “I’m too happy. You truly did as you said.” He shrugged. “I told you, I would do it. Now, let’s go to visit my grandma. But I must call her first, in case she isn’t at home.” “Darling, can we visit the hospital first before we go to your grandma’s house? It’s been two days I didn’t see Jillian.” “Sure!” Samuel nodded. “Don’t worry.” “I’ll change my clothes first.” Amy walked to her room. Waiting for Amy to change her clothes, Samuel called Vivian. Soon, his grandmother picked up the phone. “Samuel? I’m so happy you called.” “Grandma, remember I asked you to pray for me about my future wife? I already proposed to her, and she said yes.” “Oh, Samuel! What great news! When will you come with my future granddaughter-in-law?” “We plan to go today if you are at home.” “Yes, I can’t
Samuel kissed Amy’s forehead, and after waiting for her to calm, he stared at her. “Ready to meet my grandma?” She took a deep breath. “Give me a minute to wash my face.” Then Amy went to the bathroom, cleaning her face from the tears. After splashing water a few times on her face and neck, she was better. When she left the bathroom, Amy saw Samuel stand beside Jillian’s bed. He tidied her sister’s hair. Her steps stopped. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you and your sister. No one will hurt both of you again.” He smiled a little. “It’s strange that the hardship brought your sister to me, but maybe it’s fate. I won’t let her go unless she asks me. This I can promise you.” Samuel took a deep breath. “She loves you so much until she sacrificed herself for you. So, please regain your consciousness soon, my future sister-in-law.” Amy shed her tears again. Then she went back to the bathroom and wept. Afterward, she hurried to wash her face again. A knock on the door startled her. “Yes?
Vivian observed Amy and frowned, as it was obvious Amy was still so young. She patted the seat next to her. “Come, sit here. I won’t bite you.” Amy smiled and nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Hoffner. I know Samuel only joked about the bite and bark.” “The naughty boy has never stopped teasing me,” Vivian grumbled, but she laughed, as it was a common teasing between her and her grandson. “So, Miss Brooke, Amy, I will call you Amy. Miss Brooke is too mouthful to me. I will ask you some questions. Please answer me honestly.” “Yes, Mrs. Hoffner, please call me Amy. I will answer your questions honestly.” “How old are you, and how did you meet my grandson?” “I’m twenty, almost twenty-one. I met Samuel for the first time at his restaurant, but the real meeting was a few days ago.” Amy blushed, knowing that she only spent a few days with Samuel, but she already felt close to him as if she had known him for years. “Good, you answered me truthfully. Amy, wait, Brooke? Do you know Peter and Melanie Br
