Chapter 84: Chapter 84
Edward was clearly shocked, he couldn't believe he had underestimated his ex wife, he thought she knew nothing, he had treated her wrongly and she could have threatened him with her knowledge, yet she allowed him, and she is only speaking up now, because she is trying to stop Joe from killing him.
He wishes he had done better by her, she is really a wonderful woman to behold, but now he was close to his death, this was no time for wishes, this time is the time to pray and wish that Joe would over look his faults and forgive him.
"Samantha, you are going to take me to the hospital, I need to see her". Joe says, she nodded her head, even though she isn't really the one who took her to the hospital, she had a little help, but before she could reply, Craig and his men showed up.
This time Craig didn't try to accuse anyone, he was just very angry with Samantha.
"Why would you leave the house, you pretended to be asleep, and you left the house? He was telling, and she looked so scared, for she have never seen that side of him before.
Do you know how worried I was, when I didn't find you in the room where you should be resting? He wasn't just yelling, but he was so angry with her, and it was evident on his face.
Edward wanted to speak, but he didn't have the strength to, and he didn't think he has the moral justification to do that, for he is guilty of doing worse than talking.
"I am sorry". Samantha could only mutter, she has never seen him so angry before, and she didn't know what to say other than apologize.
"Can you tell me what is going on and why you really want to be around these people? This time, Joe wanted to speak up.
"Craig please...... But Craig stopped him with his hands raised.
"I wasn't asking you, I was talking to my wife". It shocked everyone, for no one knew that they were already married.
Get in the car! He commanded, and she quietly obeyed. Joe followed her to the car, and asked her.
"Alright, Samantha, just give me the name of the hospital". Craig was already loosing his patience.
"The solution. It is in a village in Hillsboro". She says simply, before Craig commanded the driver to move the car, the one she came in with was driven by another guard.
Craig was so angry he refused asking her what was going on, he resolved not to ask her again, if she wants to share the details with him, she would, but if she doesn't want to share the details of what is going on, he wouldn't force her to do so, but he must keep her safe.
Samantha kept looking at him, and hoping he could just look at her face.
He focused on his phone, speaking to someone over the phone, telling the person he is going to deal with the person for allowing her leave the house without following her, but he wouldn't even look at her. He called someone else, whom he spoke calmly to, telling the person that he only had to track his missing car to know where she is, and that they are on their way back home, still in the car, she heard him speaking to Whitney who also sounded worried.
I will be home soon my love, and she is coming back with me, so you can tell Mary not to worry". He says then he turned to look at her, only when they got to the estate, which leads to his mansion.
"I hope you feel better getting everyone worked up and worried about you? That was an emotional blackmail to her, she didn't want them worried and if only he would just look at her, so she explains to him, he may not feel the way he is feeling at the time, but before she would reply him, they were already at the garage, he just angrily opened the door, he didn't even help her hold the door for her to get down, he walked in, leaving her to stare at his behind.
"He is really angry". She muttered to herself, while Mary and Whitney rushed down to welcome her in.
"Why did you just leave the house like that mummy? Daddy was so worried". She says, and just like before, Samantha could only apologize to her daughter.
"I am so sorry my love, I just wanted to do something good for Edward, else he would be killed". She says and even Whitney became worried for him.
"Is he in danger? She asked, looking shocked.
"Yes, but I hope he is free now". She says and hugs her.
"I need to go and speak with Daddy, he still seem to be very angry". She says and rushed back inside the house, while Mary stood Infront of her, demanding to know the entire story.
"Joe wants to kill him, so I had to step in". She says to her, shocking her some more.
"Why would you step in, after all he did to you?
"Yes I know Mary, but he is the father of my daughter and no matter how much I hate him, I cannot just watch him die". She says, and she shook her head before asking again.
"Did you tell them about Joan? she whispered.
"Yes, I told them I took her to the hospital, I didn't want them to know that it was actually you that took her to the hospital, but you know what happened after that right? She asked, Mary nodded her head.
You know I haven't asked you, because I didn't think there will be need for me to ask, but I want to ask now, after you left her there, did you check on her again?
Samantha asked.
"No I didn't go back, I couldn't leave, because you know that after that time, Edward became so aggressive, and almost immediately, he filed for divorce, and the public embarrassment, I was just too busy, I couldn't visit her again, but since you have given them the location of the hospital, I am sure she won't be there, but they should be able to tell where she is". Mary explained, after a long silence, she then said to Samantha.
I think you should go to Craig, he needs to know everything, he shouldn't be kept in the dark, he is your husband". She advised, and Samantha left, but by the time she got to the room, he was not there, she searched everywhere around the house for him, it was already late, he shouldn't be out by that time, but she didn't find him anywhere, she went to the bar, thinking he must be there, but once again, he wasn't there, she finally found him in her daughter's room, which is supposed to be the first place she should have checked, he was singing to her, trying to send her to bed earlier than her bed time, she walked in to join in the singing, but Craig didn't look happy to see her there the way he used to look, when Whitney finally slept, she stood Infront of Craig, trying to get his attention, but to her surprise, he walked out on her, without looking at her or saying a word to her, she was so worried, but she wasn't going to give up, she followed him back to the room.
