37 CHAPTER 37

"Jacob," a weak voice came from Samantha. She was exhausted in thinking what she should do with David. Ever since then, David would not leave despite the cold shoulder he received from her. David would cook her meals throughout the day. He would clean the house spotless when Samantha was not around.

Samantha did try to use coerce to push David out of her life. However, he would manifest distressing behavior that she feared he might do inside her house. She could remember herself as she looked at him in despair. She knew that she should be firm and never be swayed in handling this type of person. However, she could not. She could not comprehend why she could be wishy-washy towards him.

"Mom?" Jacob asked when he could no longer her mother's voice,

"What is wrong?" he added as he sounded more worried when silence continued.

"David is here" she said, and paused for a while. "I do not know how I should kick him out" she added. She gave out a deep breathe. "Can you get me away from here?" her voice was trembling as if she could not stop herself to be afraid to what outcome would be of her decision.

"Why is he there?" Jacob probed,

Samantha told him to what had happened on the other night. She included the things she noticed with the disturbing behavior. She did not want to be in a predicament that cause her grief or regret.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll take care of him." he coaxed, "Why not go out as if nothing, and I would take over and talk to him" he added,

"But.." Samantha tried to stop him, "Its ok mom. We will just talk " he added as he tried to reassure his mother. A paused came before she agreed with his plan.

On the other hand, Charles was investigating to what had happened after Samantha and David's break up. He threw a fit when he learned that David stayed in Samantha's house for few days already. The P.I tried to spy inside Samantha's house but it was highly equip with CCTV. P.I had unable to break through the codes to set off the CCTV undetected.

Charles' mind made lot of scenario and it always ended something he displeased with.

"FIND OUT IMMEDIATELY" he yelled thru the phone, and threw the phone to the floor. Jeremy stood still at the side as he continued to watch Charles breaking down as his temper rose. "JEREMY!" he yelled,

Jeremy stepped forward, but made sure to have a safe distance. "yes sir" he acknowledged his boss' call.

"Get the car ready. We are going to Samantha's house" he added as he grabbed his jacket and walked out from the office with long stride. He did not take account the possibility of Samantha's soft heart to actually give David a chance to get close to her again. He was angry, and he knew that he should take action before it was too late.

Jeremy and Charles reached Samantha's place with great speed. He walked with great pressure. His aura was dark and oppressive. He wanted to march to Samantha and would like to know the reason behind her actions. He could not help remembering his devastation and his pleading years ago. Anger crept into his heart and sadness mixed with it.

Samantha opened the door without thought. Her surprised was evident on her face. Charles sensed that she was feeling conflicted to see him. Nevertheless, he did not stop imposing at her. He knew his outrage had shown on his face. He could not contain the urge to hold her arms and dragged her away from the house. Yet, he was certain as her ex-husband, he had long way to go.

"Charles?"

"Can I come in?" he said as he tried to control the urge to pull her out of her house and brought her back to his house away from the man living inside her house. Samantha was hesitating but she let him in.

Charles looked around as if surveying her house. He was finding traces of the man that she was supposed to be married to. But he did not see a speck of that man. He looked at her again trying to decipher her reaction and he knew that man was here. Somehow, something caught his eyes, a love bite. He could no longer contain his rage. Samantha did not notice it that instantly she stepped away. But he quick in his steps that made Samantha was unable to distance fast enough.

"Why are you here?" she asked politely

"Please come with me" he said as he slowly reached her out. His hand caressed her face showing his hurt as he could imagine her embracing other man. "What do you mean?" Samantha looked at him confuse. He pulled her to him and hugged her as if telling her that he would not let her go despite hating him. Samantha felt something was off. She tried to push him away from her. Before she could step away, he smashed his lips to hers. He was ravishing her lips as he poured his all his longing.

Samantha was surprised. She pushed him with great force. "Are you crazy?" she was angry. Her eyes showed her despise towards him.

Charles went back at her and kissed her again. Samantha struggled, but he kept pushing her. He cornered her as he continued to kiss her. He continued to push her as his desire arose. He could not stop himself caressing her as he devoured her. Samantha whimpered as she slowly accepted his attack. Her hands were still trying to push but he did not budge. She could feel that he became more aggressive as she continued to try to put a distance between them. "I miss you so much" he whispered to her ears that sent an electric shock throughout her body. "I will never let you go" he said as he struggled to control eat her on the spot.

"Stop it Charles!" she gathered all her strength to push him though it was not enough to push him far. Her hair was disheveled. Charles suit was unbuttoned from the top. He looked at her poised despite he was trying to catch his breath. "I know I still have space inside your heart" he started as he stared at her eyes. He reached out to her hand, "I know I did shit that is far forgivable, and I know its difficult to face me, but I can take it all. I believe I can" he added. He kissed her hand without looking away. Samantha froze.
