Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Craig was getting really worried, since she wasn't back from work, and when he called the driver, he had told her that she stopped at a male store to get something, which Craig could already denote that she wants to get him a birthday gift, since it was the only news in the air, He plans to also tell her how he feels about her, and then tell her everything he had done wrong in the past. He plans to enjoy the euphoria of his birthday to do the right thing.
He didn't bother sending any guard after her, knowing that she would soon be back.
When he heard the sound of the car, he relaxed his mind, he was very happy, but minutes later, when she is supposed to be out of the car, he didn't see her, she didn't walk past his room to her room, he became worried, he looked out his window, and found the driver, trying to wake her up.
Craig wondered what sort of sleep that could be, he rushed down, and also found the driver rushing in, trying to alert them that Samantha was unwell, He was shocked, at the sight of an unconscious being in the back seat of a taxi, so he told the driver to turn back and take her to the hospital, While he joined Paul in the other car, and off to the hospital, they went.
They were immediately attended to, it was their family hospital. Craig was trying to understand what happened, so while she was being attended to, he asked the driver what happened, and hearing that she was met by someone named James, from the discussion, he knew what could have possibly happened to her. She passed out, due to shock.
Craig knows it is time to tell the truth, he couldn't lie anymore, and even if she doesn't remember what happened that night, he was going to tell her the truth. He waited for the doctors to revive her, and when he saw the doctor walk out of the room where she was being cared for, he walked in, and found her awake.
"Sam, how are you doing? He asked, taking his steps quietly towards her, for he expects her to get really mad with him.
"So it was you, you did all this, just to get me? She asked, and without letting him respond, she added.
You destroyed my life, took five years of my life, away from my daughter, and now you came in, as a saint, thinking you could make it all okay?
How could you Craig? I trusted you, I believed in you, and I was even thinking that maybe I have been the one getting it wrong, thinking that maybe.... She paused, and allowed her tears drop freely.
Edward is really bad. He was quick to dispose me, because he was scared.
If only I was able to convince him that I was willing to stand by him, I guess he wouldn't have filed for divorce. I also know that he misses me, and that is why, he started taking out anger on our daughter, which he is really sorry for. Edward might be evil, Craig, but you are the devil.
You are wicked Craig". She went on and on, as her silent sob, turned into streams of tears.
"Please Sam, I can explain.
I was inlove with you, I still am, but you seem to love Edward so much, the way you talk about him.....
"Yes I love him, he was my husband. The father of my child. What did you think? She took it from him, shutting him up, but he still found his voice, for his life was about to shatter before his own very eyes.
"Sam, I wanted to give up on us,. until I found out that Edward was not good for you".
"And who made you the judge of who is good and bad? Why didn't you let me be the judge of that?
"He might end up hurting you too, you had to leave his house somehow". He said in defense.
"And running my life, giving me a public disgrace, is the best way, you could come up with, to salvage me from my evil husband?
Craig couldn't pick a good line, so far, none of his lines had worked, so he went on his knees.
"Please Sam, forgive me. I love you and I know you love me too. I went about it the wrong way, but if I can just get a second chance, I promise, I will be the best person ever. I will be the best version of myself, I will love you and I will never, hurt you again. I will never make you cry ever again". He kept pleasing, while She was only crying, shaking her head disgustedly at him.
"I am sorry too, but you can take back your job, take back everything, I am no longer interested. I will move with my daughter to the country side, I will find myself a humble job, and live my life. Please, don't you ever, try to look for us, we are not your family, we do not belong to you".
"But Sam? She raised her hand to stop him.
"Don't speak to me". He couldn't hold it anymore, he held her by the hand, trying to force himself to hug her, but she pushed him aside, and at that time, she had a flash of what happened that night, she landed her back on the bed, and he came on to her with an erected manhood, she closed her eyes, thinking she was loosing her mind, but instead of just a flash, everything happened right Infront of her, and she asked him, with a tired voice.
"What happened that night at the bar? Craig who was now by the door, with a red eye, holding himself from actually breaking down. He knew the questioning was coming at the wrong time, but all the time she had asked this same question, have always been a wrong time to him, but he couldn't lie to her anymore, for the way she was looking at him, she seem to have the answer.
"You were drunk, you were crying and..... You.... I mean you.... He just couldn't say it, and she shook her head and says.
"You had sex with me?
"You begged me to, I didn't want to, but you begged me and.....
She exclaimed in hurt.
"Ha! You had sex with me against my will, you took advantage of my vulnerability?
She asked rhetorically, giving him no chance to defend himself. He only covered his face. She paused for a long time, thinking deep, about the next thing she is about to say. She heaved a sigh, then spoke.
From here, I will be going to a hotel, please, let Whitney know that I will come get her. don't bother telling her anything, I will tell her myself.
Thanks to you, I have some cash, I could start my life again".
"Sam, we can still work this out, please I am begging you, don't leave me like this".
"Craig, you have hurt me, the best thing you could do, is leave me to mourn in peace. So I will ask you nicely. Please leave". She tells him, and he, knowing there was no other thing he could say, he walked away, making sure to leave a guard, who will help him keep watch over her.
