Chapter 75

"The heck are you doing in my room, Sam?" Elodre asked. "You never even sought my permission!"

"Which is why I'm here," Samantha smirked. "To obtain your permission, Mrs. Brooks."

There's nothing as annoying as that smirk on her face. Elodre just had to gulp down the anger that was rippling in her right now. "Alright,"

The 'alright' was nothing less than a mild attack. Samantha thought. Elodre's gray eyes were glowing fiercely.

"So, what do you want?" Elodre raised a brow.

"Nothing," Samantha shrugged. "Just came to say hi!"

"Fine," Elodre said. "Could you leave now?"

"No, I can't," Samantha said firmly, folding her arms. She was gazing down at Elodre.

That's a whole nerve! Elodre thought. She sighed quietly. God knows she isn't ready for this. "So what?"

"So what, Elodre?" Samantha talked right back.

"Look, Sam, I ain't for this," Elodre said and sipped her tea.

"Ready for what?" Samantha asked.

Elodre exhaled and shot a glare at her and Samantha snickered.

"Why did you pretend to sleep when you saw me last night, huh?" Samantha asked.

"What do you mean?" Elodre asked.

"Stop playing dumb, Elodre," Samantha took a few steps closer to her. "You know what I'm talking about."

A snicker escaped Elodre's mouth. Ignoring Samantha, she started eating for a while then covered the food and gazed up at Samantha. "Why in the hell are you here, Sam? Say whatever you wanna and leave my room."

"Why are you apprehensive, Elodre?" Samantha asked.

Was she?! Elodre thought. Yes, she's nervous!! But is it obvious? "What makes you think I'm apprehensive?" She asked boldly.

"I could be your mirror, Mrs. Brooks," She said.

"Leave my room, Sam!" She snapped.

"And what if I don't?!!" Samantha attacked.

Inhaling, Elodre held her breath. Damn!! Is this happening for real?!

"However," Samantha said. "The last time I checked, this isn't your fuckin room, but Cayden's! And he's my goddamn brother!"

"And I am his wife, Sam!" Elodre shot back.

Samantha scoffed and shook her head. "That's sure gonna be a story of your life soon."

"Because you've planned to ruin my marriage with that photo, huh?" Elodre said and shock flashed on Samantha's face. "The picture of me with the guy you took at that coffee shop, huh?"

Samantha swallowed back her gasp and stifled her surprised look. Wait. What?! Elodre is fuckin aware of that?! How did she get to know about that?!! She snickered and said, "What picture are you talking about, Elodre?"

"Didn't you take a picture of me and Roberts, huh?" Elodre asked. "And I found you with him afterward!"

"Oh," Samantha scoffed. "So, you're tryna say he's your fuckin man?"

"I never said that Samantha!" Elodre's eyes were glowing with disdain. "Do not twist my words!!"

"But you just confirmed that now," Samantha said. "How did you get to know I took a picture of you, Elodre?"

"Of course, someone showed it to me!" Elodre said. "How can you be so creepy!!"

Samantha's brows furrowed. It would be Mom!!! She thought furiously. No one else but fuckin mom!! Damn it!!! "Doesn't the person have a fuckin name?!

"I don't care about that!!" Elodre snapped. "The thing is that you're dim-witted and a dumbhead to take a picture of me because I only hung out with a regular guy!!"

"That's someone's boyfriend, Elodre!" She snapped.

"Your boyfriend?!" Elodre was astonished but didn't show it. "Is he your fickin' boyfriend?!! If he fuckin is, what then is the difference between us?!"

"Look who's tryna compare herself with a billionaire," Samantha said. "You poor ass!!"

"The heck did you say, Samantha?!" Elodre felt her body trembling. That hurts!!

"You heard me right!" Samantha said.

"I dare you to say that again!!" Elodre flared up. "I dare you!!"

"Since the day you came into the Brooks family you've infected my brother with your venom!!" Samantha said.

"At least I ain't as venomous as you are, Sam!!" Elodre shot back.

And Samantha held her breath. "I know what's giving you such audacity to argue with me, Elodre!! No one else but my brother!! You've blinded him!! Which is why he takes your side!!!"

"Then it's high time you tie the fuckin knots with Roberts…just so you can blind him as well!" Elodre snapped and was satisfied to see that it hurt Samantha really bad.

"Fuck you!!!" Yelling, she gestured.

"Of course, my husband fucks me," Elodre smiled.

Gritting her teeth, Samantha's hands clenched in a fist.

"You keep fussing about how I don't deserve your brother," Elodre said. "But here you are, shamelessly fucking a guy who's lower than your class, Miss Billionaire. Or maybe Zillionaire."

Am ain't fuckin dating Roberts! Samantha thought furiously. "After all you wouldn't dare to walk on the same lane with me if my brother had not picked you up from your miserable background! You should consider yourself lucky!"

"Isn't that a lesson to learn, Sam?" Elodre said. "Go pick Roberts up like your brother picked me. No need to be ashamed."

Samantha snickered. "Ashamed, huh? You should get on your knees and pray cause my brother is surely gonna kick you out soon. It's gonna take you unawares…so take heed!"

That sounded like a reality but Elodre stifled the grief. She'd never let Samantha see her tears. "You are malignant!"

"You can say that all day, asshole," Samantha said. "You should be worried about your duration with my brother, Elodre." She smirked. "At least after crying in the arms of your humble chef, Jasmine…"

Elodre's brows furrowed. "What does Jasmine have to do with this?!"

"Oh, you think I ain't aware?" Samantha chuckled.

And Elodre felt the hardest knot in her stomach. What the hell!!

"Well, " Samantha said. "Just so you know, it would be my pleasure to pack up your stuff by the deadline." She walked off, glancing around.

She opened the door and winked at Elodre.

"Well, let's see how that goes!" Elodre said.

"Sure," Samantha said and shut the door mildly.

Jasmine was panting in the kitchen with both hands on her chest. Glad she made it downstairs real quick and didn't stumble. Damn! She'd been listening to their arguments. But wait, did Samantha take a picture of Elodre?!! That's so scary!!

**

Samantha walked straight to her room and slammed the door shut. "God!!! Mom what did you fuckin do?!!!!!" She groaned, pacing around the room.

Damn! She'd not even eaten half of her breakfast and had left her phone downstairs!! Fuck!!
