"You know... you are like Mary Poppins' bag." Samantha pursed her lips, turning to Ethan before announcing, "You come in a bag, full of surprises."
That made Ethan give out a genuine smile. He leaned over to Samantha and declared, "Speaking of surprises, you sure gave me the biggest... surprise in my life."
Samantha chuckled and suggested, "Showing up, having two kids?"
"I suppose," with his business-like expression, he said while leaning sideways, maintaining the stare at Samantha.
While munching on her popcorn, Samantha realized how rarely Ethan looked at the screen. She whispered, "You are barely watching."
"I'm listening," Ethan answered.
She glanced at him for a second and said, "You did not eat any of the popcorn."
"I'm feeling all tired from the trip. I can't move my hands. Do you mind... feeding me?" Ethan said it so casually, it did not seem like he was making a move.
It utterly made Samantha giggle while s

"Are we going home after this?" Samantha asked, realizing it was still nearly six in the evening."No, Sam... The night is still, young," Ethan responded. He then moved closer and whispered to her ear, "I have another surprise for you.""What is it?" She asked, turning to his athletic face.She nearly fainted, seeing Ethan's well-defined jaw-lines, and while she had seen this before, she could not help but appreciate it once more.Samantha found herself lost in Ethan's intense brown eyes as he glanced at her for a second. She heard him say, "It's a secret. We still have two itineraries for today."Ethan did not miss pinching lightly on Samantha's cheek before reaching for her hand.They wound up walking hand in hand, out of the cinema and to the lift. Still, the mall attendant was with them all the way.After the mall, Edgar drove them to the Wright Diamond Hotel where a few of the company's employees saw
Chapter 38: I'll Marry You
Samantha wasn't sure why, but she was starting to feel nervous. She kept asking herself, 'Why are we going around this house?'She already had an inkling, especially after seeing the kitchen. Besides, what was the use of showing her such a beautiful kitchen if it was not for her? Moreover, the butler and the maids addressed them like they were a married couple.'Stop it, Sam! You are making assumptions!' She scolded herself right before Ethan showed her the master bedroom.When Ethan presented her with the biggest room in the mansion, she flushed outright. While she adored looking at the sizable bed, her mind was thinking of something else. She brushed away her thoughts and remarked, "Wow! I really am jealous of the bed."Sitting on the mattress, she remarked, "It must be... really comfortable to sleep on this bed."She immediately eyed Ethan's reaction and heard him chuckle for the first time that night. She thought, 'This man is hidin
Chapter 39: Ethan's Promise
"You told her about the kiss limit," reminded Ethan."I know. I hate it when they remember these things... my kids are just too sharp," Samantha responded before forcing Ethan's hands off her waist. She smiled and pecked on his lips again. "Let me get the kids.""Hmmmm," Ethan's typical response.Before letting Samantha go, however, he put a hand behind her neck and savored for one last kiss.His actions made Samantha chuckle as she forced herself free from Ethan's hold. She whispered, breathing against his lips, "I'll be back."While Ethan turned on the lights to the living room, Samantha walked in the direction of their bedroom.It did not take long for Kenzie and Kyle to walk back out with Samantha, both puzzled for the late evening wake-up call. Kyle was especially still sluggish."Hi guys," greeted Ethan while remaining to sit on the sofa.Kenzie went straight into Ethan's lap and said, "Hi Da
Chapter 40: The Marriage Agreement
Once again, Samantha was under the watchful eyes of The Wright Diamond Corporation employees.The very next day, Ethan set up a meeting with his lawyers to draft the marriage agreement between him and Samantha.While Samantha took back her initial qualms to signing a legal document with Ethan, he still insisted.It was because he wanted Samantha to feel that she was in control in going into this marriage, that he went through with coming up with a legal arrangement.The company's CEO personally fetched Samantha from the lobby, together with John, Ethan's assistant.Like the last, they walked hand in hand, going to the lift and into the conference room.In front of Ethan's most trusted attorneys, he instructed, "Include in the marriage agreement all of her conditions.""Yes, Mr. Wright," both attorneys acknowledged alternately.Samantha nearly chuckled at what they were about to do, but since
Chapter 41: Little Sami
Friday Afternoon at the Wright Diamond Corporation.Ethan and John were busier than ever.Ethan's family was two days away from moving into their new mansion, and there was a holdup at the car company for the new Pullman Maybach that he requested.It was a six-seater Mercedes luxury car, perfect for a family of five, including Diana Turner.As the kids were getting older, it wasn't practical to have them sit on their laps for long in Ethan's standard Maybach. They just had to have their own family vehicle aside from his business car."John, tell them that they have a day to deliver the car or they are going to get a personal visit from me! Make it happen!" Ethan ordered from his desk."Yes, Mr. Wright! I'll... threat them if I have to," answered John before retreating back to the door.Just as John Garcia exited the CEO office, another figure came in.A slender, tall, and alluring

The hotel staff wanted me to go to a conference room, but I prefer waiting for you in here at the lobby," Matilda Davis asked on the phone right after they settled in the First Diamond Hotel lobby.For that lunch, they were to gather at the first-carat conference room and have a private meal together with Ethan's parents.From the other line, Samantha answered, "Grandma, I'm heading down with Kyle we can proceed to the conference room together. Kenzie poured her water over her dress so she is changing again with aunt Diana.""Okay, Sam. I miss you already and I am excited to see Ethan," said Matilda.

Chapter 43: Ethan's Admission
"So... how exactly did you and." Forcing a smile, Amanda Wright turned to Samantha and asked, "You and little Sami became... a couple? And when?"From inside the one-carat conference room, everyone was now seated in front of a huge round table when Amanda began her interrogation.It was already explained to Ethan how Samantha was apparently little Sami, the same girl that his mother had repeatedly mentioned to him.Evidently, Samantha was the same girl Amanda wanted him to tie the knot with. That ultimately cut down his worries into half, and he knew it also eased Samantha's nerves.Hearing Ethan's parents probe about the fateful night that created the twins, Diana volunteer to take the kids away. "I think for this part of your discussion, I will let the children and I sit elsewhere." Turning to the twins, Diana urged, "Kids, let's chat on the sofa?""Why? I can understand?"

Chapter 44: Welcome To The Family
"Your father and I... The friendship that we used to have due to my relationship with your mother... Sadly, it has turned sour." Amanda Wright took a deep breath before reaching for Samantha's hand."Look, Sami - I mean, Sam. You don't need to share this part with your grandmother, but back then... I did not have anyone else to blame but your father." Amanda felt teary-eyed, and only after collecting herself did she resume her thoughts, "I blamed him for the loss of your mother.""While I know, he did not cause her death, but you see, your father was so obsessed about climbing up to the military ranks, that he spent fewer hours at home and catering to your mother's needs."Clearing her throat, Amanda Wright thought, "Of course, every family is different."Amanda and Samantha now took the same place where Kenzie and Kyle had stepped away from their earlier conversation. After the food arrived, Amanda invited Samantha over for a chat.Whe
