10 Chapter 10

It was getting dark outside the veranda. Sam was sitting on top of the bed with knees bend closer to her head. She was curling inside the room. The room was getting colder that she sometimes shiver. It was passed dinner time and still Charles did not come. She knocked the door many times earlier but still no one dare to talk to her.

Fear crept into her heart that she eventually retreated to the bed. She hated to be alone but what was worst she hated quiet room.

She grabbed the phone as she remembered that Charles did called to her through that phone.

The call pushed through. It kept ringing to the other end. Every ring made her feel anxious.

"Hello" someone did answered, but it was not Charles. A voice of a woman's voice came from the other end of the line. Sam did not speak. She did not know what to say.

"Hello" she tried to pry at her.

"What are you doing?" she finally heard Charles voice from behind. Immediately, she could hear they were trying to fight off the phone from each other.

"Did I not tell you to know your place" Sam could hear his angry voice.

"Charles" she called out hoping for him to answer her.

"Yes, Sam. I'm sorry I am coming late. I am just leaving from the office" He said as she could hear gush of wind.

"I am scared" she murmured unknowingly if he could hear her or not.

"Don't be scared" he said, "I am just minutes away from you" he added.

Indeed, the door opened and she saw Charles in suit. He was full of authority but as he saw her, a tender look visible. His long strides came to.

He hugged her as he came close. He could feel her shivers.

"I am sorry I am late" he tapped gently at her. She suddenly could not stop herself crying. She did not know if it was because she felt relief or she was happy that he finally came.

After that day, Charles would bring Sam with him. He would take her out for shopping, for dinner and even during his meetings.

Everyone wondered who she was, but they were too afraid to ask.

But for Jeremy, he continued to follow Charles as well. He did try to talk to Sam but he was immediately assigned many task. He did know that Charles was making sure not to have any contact with his ex girlfriend.

Sam was a meek woman at the side and did not dare to move an inch away from Charles.

Those quiet days with her made everything peaceful for them. He would not make a move to her more than she could tolerate. Kisses on the forehead or to her lips were present in their relationship which it made Sam feel secure at that time.

But in one faithful day, Sam, who had more freedom, made to the office. But Charles was busy. She waited at the separate room where Charles usually rest up if he works late.

She somehow ended sleeping in the cozy single bed.

But she woke up when she heard a noise. She slowly crept toward the door. She did have a heavy heart as she imagine the possible scenario she might end up.

She peeked through a small opening of the door. There, her eyes widen when she saw Charles on the chair.

A woman straddling to him and they were making out. Her dress was rolling up as he caressed her body.

"You miss me" she wooed him out. He did not say anything.

Her heart sunk. She moved back and accidentally toppled down the chair which cause Charles to be alarmed. He immediately stood up and pushed the girl out of the way.

Sam tried to stop her sobs as she tried to see any alternative exit. She found it and went out to the secretary room. She ran out of the office without holding back.

She came to the villa and stopped herself in crying. She did not want the butler to notice her grief. She deep inhaled and entered the house.

She smiled brightly as she entered the house and greeted the butler.

"Miss, did you say you will wait for master?" he asked. She shook her head. "He is very busy. So I decided to just walk around the stores before coming back here. I already ate so no need to prepare dinner" she said and went to the room upstairs.

Not minute away, Charles came home. She could hear the car parked in front. She already shut the lights out of the room when she peeked to the window. She saw him distress as he entered the house.

She walked to the bed and lied down as if asleep. But she could her him asked her whereabouts earlier and Mr. Stephan answered him the same thing she told him. she waited for him to entered as her heart was torn in pieces.

Many whys and how come questions came to her. But not a single answer came to her mind. She definitely did her best not to ran away from him nor push him away for the past months together.

The door opened and immediately she could whiffed the perfume of a woman from him. She did not dare move as she acted. He went to the dressing room and came beside her. He hugged her as his usual day when he came from work. He would snuggled to her but this time she did not move as if she was awaken. Her entire being stiffened with hate.

"How dare he do this to me?" this came to her. "He chased me down but he got a nerve to be doing things to other woman" another phrase to her head came.

"I love you" he snuggled. but that word came to her as an empty promise. She did not accept it anymore.
