Chapter 125: Chapter 125
Things have been really tense with Craig and Samantha. She has not been very supportive of him, she has been treating him like all that happened was done on purpose. She seem to have joined the netizens, to criticize Craig.
He has been given, funny names since then.
The atmosphere was beautiful, as the evening sun began its descent, casting a gentle golden hue, on everything it touched. This is one of those evenings, Craig loves to take a walk with his wife, and his two months old baby, but since what have happened, Samantha and Craig have not been the way they used to, and the world seem to have noticed, as everyday, one thing or the other, is being said about them, and how their lives life have been lowered, because of a single mistake from him.
With the huge thought of the recent happenings, in mind, Samantha was maneuvering her sleek sedan, through the mall, when she noticed people taking pictures of her. She has her day planned already, even though the pictures they are taking of her, is also part of her plans for the day, she hated it so much, she wish she could get angry and tell them to get away from her, but she has been going out a lot, trying to avoid seeing much of Craig, even though she isn't angry with him, she just doesn't know what the problem is, and why she hasn't been able to come to terms with the fact that Sandra is carrying her husband's child.
The last news she saw of her, was that she was throwing up at a restaurant after eating outside, and people started feeling for her. She was doing it for people to comment and say things about her, she wants them to feel pity for her, which pushed some, who even commented, saying she should move into the mansion with her, so she could be well cared for. Others suggested that since Craig is a billionaire with houses here and there, he should take Sandra, to one of his many houses.
Sandra even started granting interviews, with the face of a celebrity, she wears makeup and she keeps trying to put up a show, whenever she was in a public place.
Samantha feels bad that she hasn't been very supportive of her husband, she doesn't want to allow anything that have been said so far annoy her, which was why, she have decided to treat herself, she went to the salon to get her hair done, as she has a surprise for Craig, which he doesn't know about yet. She is going to create a fresh memory, with her family, especially her husband.
She looked back to be sure everyone was set to leave, and with her family around her, she starts her car.
The hum of the engine, a soft undertone, to her thought of sadness.
Her hair, that have just being styled from the salon, framed her face perfectly.
Today she has planned to have a long talk with her husband, and she was going to do it outside the house, with the help of Mary and Whitney.
From the salon, she was going to drive herself to a fancy restaurant, and wait for him to get there. the world is taking pictures, then they should be ready to take more pictures.
She could already see how what she is doing to Craig was hurting him, and she is trying really hard not to do anything of sort to him, she is supposed to be there to support him and love him. all he has shown her is support and love, which is what she is going to give in return.
She she started driving, she travelled back in thought, to what happened, before she left the house, he had asked her where she was going, but she didn't really give him a reply, she was still angry, and he has lost tactics as to how to make her smile.
When she told him simply, that she will soon be back, without her usual smile, kiss or hugs, she saw just how sad he looked. Even when she drove out, she could see that he was staring through the window. She didn't bother looking back, there was no way, he would allow her drive herself and no guard will follow her. she knows that he was going to send a guard to go with her, and she could already see a car behind that have been following her, she knows it is Davidson, but she is acting as though she doesn't know. The rearview was giving him away.
He still has the urge to protect her, even when she hasn't done a good job protecting him. She allowed her mind, embrace the hood thought of speaking to him, and putting an end to their fight.
She checked herself in the mirror, just to admire herself again.
She touched her hair, to feel just how soft the texture is.
Her hair has a delicate mix of lavender and chamomile, filling her nostrils with warmth, and a new surge of hope. that she was going to give the world a different thing to say today.
She stepped out of her car, and into the five star restaurants, there were lots of people there, she wanted to reduce the view, on her, she wanted to reduce the paparazzi's and then navigate the story to a positive light so she went into the VIP section, before calling her husband.
"Hey! She says, as soon as he took the call.
"How are you doing? He asked, with an urgent voice".
"Your guard have been following me, so he should know". She responded, making him smile. He knows it that she is trying to joke with him, and he became hopeful.
"I am waiting for you here, please come". She didn't mention where she is, for she already knows that he is getting every information about his whereabout.
She waited with bated breath, as she is unsure, of how today will turn out.
Will things be okay between them? Will Sandra giving birth change anything?
How will he share his attention between his first family and his unwanted family?
A myriad of questions baffled her, each one, more baffling than the last, but all she can do is wait for him to walk in through that door.
