Chapter 83

He held her face still, pressed kisses on her forehead, and said, "You can come to me whenever you need me. I'm willing to guide and help you outta this. You ain't alone, okay?"

With her arms tightly wrapped around him, she was pressing her forehead against his. She was soothed by him. He's everything!

Samantha had gone to Brittany's place. They were both sitting on a sofa with cushions in their arms as they discussed.

Brittany shook her head. "Oops! Story of my life, I guess."

Samantha sighed and said, "I tried, Brittany, but he declined. And guess why."

"Why?" Brittany asked.

"Cause of that motherfucker, Elodre," Samantha puffed out smoke from her mouth and nostrils.

"Fuckin Elodre," Brittany said and dragged the cigarette.

"Damn!" Samantha blew out heavily. "But I've got good news!"

"What news?" Brittany raised a brow.

"He'd love to meet with you someday."

"Is that what he said?!" Gasping, Brittany sat up on the sofa.

"Yeah," Samantha nodded and winked. "And that'll be your happiest moment."

"For real," Brittany said. "But when?"

"I dunno," Samantha shrugged. "He said when he's done with a couple of things."

"Oh," Brittany said. "Can't wait then."

****

"So where are you?" Samantha was on a call in her car. "Alright then. I'm on my way."

IN THE EVENING…

"Sam I gotta go so that I can prepare for work tomorrow," A guy said from Samantha's room.

"But we're not done yet," Samantha said from outside the room. "You're so sweet and I can't get enough of you."

"Ugh!" He sighed.

"Just hang in there, I'll be back," She said and walked down the stairs.

She got out of the living room just when Cayden and his convoy drove in. With a gasp, she rushed in and ran up the stairs to her room. "Dress up! Dress up! Hurry!! My big bro is back and he's sure gonna kill you if he sees you!!"

"My God!!" The guy gasped. "Thought this was your home!!"

"Shut up and dress up, dude!" She said,

Since Jasmine got detained, Elodre scarcely allowed the cleaning girls to serve her. She's been coming downstairs to pick her meal lately but today was completely different.

Damn!! Elodre exclaimed in her head as her eyes opened. She'd fallen asleep without returning the dishes downstairs. Sleepily, she got out of bed and carried the tray of dishes out of the room.

In her nightgown, she walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

Both Samantha and the guy rushed down the stairs. "Bye!"

"Ain't you gonna see me off, huh?" He asked.

Wait. Whose voice is that?! Elodre wondered while washing her hands. She was familiar with that voice. She could hear a terrible thunderbolt. The whistling wind was blasting as lightning striped in the gloomy sky.

The guy was about to take a step further when the door suddenly opened and Cayden walked in with his briefcase and suit hung on his lower right arm.

"Who are you!!" Samantha suddenly yelled at the guy and shock flashed on his face as his lips patted. "Why are you staring at me like a dumb head?

And Cayden raised a brow in astonishment upon seeing this strange face. "Don't you know him?" He asked softly.

"He's just coming from your room, brother," Samantha said and Cayden flashed his wide blazing gaze at the guy. "I'm sorry, brother, but Elodre invited him. I don't even know him."

Cayden's brows furrowed deeply. "He's just coming from my room, huh?" He tossed his suit and briefcase on a nearby sofa.

Shock has almost choked Elodre to death. She was in the kitchen listening to Samantha. What the heck is she doing?! She wondered bewilderedly. She rushed out of the kitchen to see who the guy was and a gasp escaped from her lips as her eyes widened. What the hell! "Roberts??!!" Jeez!!

Turning to the stairs, Robert's heart skipped a beat. "Elodre?!"

"You see, brother," Samantha said. "They know each other!"

Scowling at them both, Cayden's eyes were red and burning. Huffing, his hands clenched in fists as fury was rippling in him. At the drop of a hat, he ran to Roberts and tugged him brutally, fastening deadly blows on his face and blood was sprouting out.

With tears stinging her eyes, Elodre gasped in alarm as her hubby beat Roberts up mercilessly. The floor was already messed with blood.

"Now tell me who the hell you are!!" Cayden thundered, folding up his sleeves to his elbows. "Tell me how you got to know my wife!!" He was huffing.

Sitting helplessly on the bloody floor, Roberts was coughing violently.

"I said speak!!" Cayden kicked Roberts's chest and he coughed out blood. "How the fuck did you know my wife?!! Tell me!!"

"At…th…the spa…" Roberts quivered.

"Spa?!!" Cayden roared and glared at Elodre who stumbled a few steps backward. "What spa?!!"

"G…Good Life Spa," He coughed violently. "W…where she comes for m…massage…"

"What?!!" Furiously, Cayden poked his fingers into his hair and disheveled it.

"Didn't she tell you she's fuckin married?!!" Yelling, Cayden brutally lifted Roberts by his neck with just one hand and Roberts's legs were dangling above the floor as veins lined his ruddy face. "Didn't she tell ya?!!

"Y…Yes sh…she did…" Roberts said faintly.

"And you have the nerve!" Cayden was shaking him violently in the air. "The fuckin nerve to step your damn feet in my home?!!"

"I…I… didn't invite him, Cayden…"

"Shut the fuck up!!" Furiously, Cayden flung Roberts away without caring where he landed. "Do you feel me?! Shut up!!" Glaring at her, he was huffing in rage.

"What about this?!" Samantha showed Cayden that photo and he gritted his teeth. "Is this not you and the same guy sitting in a coffee shop?

And Elodre's heart leaped to her throat.

Furiously, Cayden crushed the phone with his hand and tossed it away. " Elodre! Come here!!!" He stormed toward her and she scurried up the stairs.

He ran up the stairs swiftly and yanked her and she stumbled down the stairs….
