Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Edward was doing everything possible to make sure Samantha and Whitney have smiles on their faces. At some point, he even acted like a clown just to make Whitney laugh out loud, when he finally succeeded, he went down on his knees and apologized to his daughter.
Whitney was quick to tell him to get up, for she wouldn't have her father, kneel for her, he pulls her close, hugging her side.
"I am really sorry I drove you away, it wasn't my intention at all, I was just depressed, I was missing your mother too much, that I took out anger on you, I am so sorry". She nodded, even though within her, she still feels awkward, being so close to him. Samantha also looks away, she didn't want to look at him, so he doesn't think, what he is saying, is getting to her.
"Can I play with the toys now? She asked, for her eyes, are on the toys he had gotten for her.
"Sure you can". He says and she jumps excitedly, going to where the toys are. That was a chance for Edward to finally be alone with Samantha.
She looks really happy". He says and she nodded, but said nothing.
You should be happy too, I mean, I am happy being here alone with you, I would love it, if you can just smile for me". He says and she feigned smile, if that would make him leave her alone.
You know I never meant for any of this to happen right? He asked, trying to start a conversation, which seem to put her off
"You never meant for what to happen Edward? she asked, when she got no response, she continued.
You kicked me out of the house, because you wanted to cover your sins, you turned everyone against me, you didn't even give me the chance to see my own daughter. Do you know how many times I cried myself to sleep? Do you know how many times I wanted to end my own life, just because no one would employ me, no one would empower me?
"That was not my fault Sam, that was your boyfriend's fault. He was the one that started getting obsessed with you, that he started to draw images of the both of you, making students talk". Samantha nodded her head, for she knew, he was going to go there.
"I agree, even if he did that, what was your job as the man I married? You were supposed to stand by me, but no, you took the advantage to cover up your track. Where you got it wrong was that, I never even had that in mind, but now, I do, and all this you are trying to pull, have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing to do with the way I feel about you. You are still that monster in my eyes". Her words hurt him, but he pretended, as if they didn't have any effect on him.
"I am not surprised, that you are saying this, and I know that I deserve all that you say to me, but I just want you to see me as a sinner, and see yourself as a goddess. I want my family back, and that can only happen, if you can forgive me". Samantha wanted to tell him at that instant, that even if she forgives him, she was never going to be able to come back to him, because she loves someone else, but that would only mean, she was giving him the clue he shouldn't have, so she reminded him, that she has a boyfriend now.
"Max would be angry that I am out here with you, so you better not go there. I mean, talking about having the family back together, is impossible, I really don't see that happening".
"You loved me once Sam, I am willing to find that love again, I will make sure, I bring back all that is lost". He says and kissed her cheek, even before she could react.
The day finally came to an end, and he drove them home, Whitney rushed to Mary as soon as she got to the house, and told her how their day went, explaining excitedly that she had fun and all that, but Mary didn't seem interested, she kept looking at Sam and Edward, as they converse. She was angry that Samantha even had to smile at some of the things he was saying, she was very angry. Finally their discussion came to an end, and she watch him stare at her, till she walked into the house.
"How was your day? She asked her, and she nodded as to say yes.
"It was just like every other day, just that, Whitney seem very happy, so I had to act happy". Mary smiles, for she could relate. That night, when Samantha had gone to bed, Mary called Craig again, but he still didn't take her call, she became very worried, but knowing the sort of person he is, she suspect that he must have been seeing everything happening, and he is very angry about it.
Samantha was having a hard time closing her eyes, she was having pains all over her waist, and she kept turning from one side to the other, she imagined Craig massaging her, trying to help her ease the pain, but she allowed her imagination go wild, as she started to see him pull up her nighty, to give her a quick one, saying that, a quick one, will help her pain go away, and at that time, the image of that night came back again, he was very good, and she felt really exhausted afterwards. She soon sat up as the pains increased, but his thought filled her heart, that she smiles, touching herself, imagining that he is the one touching her, she soon found a side which suit her well, she closed her eyes, and had a wet dream about the both of them, she woke up in a sweat, only to look around her, to see that it was already morning, she got out of bed, and went to get ready for work.
She suddenly hates the day, for she will have to see Edward. Even though he is acting all sweet, she knows that there is something fishy about his act.
She promised herself, that she is going to tell him, that she doesn't love him, and that they could be great co parents to Whitney, they don't have to be together, but when she got to work, he told her that they would be going for an international meeting.
