"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.

Chapter 45: Finally Together
6:00 AM at First Diamond Hotel."Sam? Sam. It's time to wake up." Fluttering her eyes open, she awoke to the voice of Ethan on a Sunday morning. Samantha hummed herself up and called for him, "Ethan? How are you here so early?""Aunt Diana let me in, I thought I'd wake you." Ethan was sitting on the side of Samantha's bed, caressing her hand to wake."Oh, gosh. What if I had drool on my face? How could aunt just let you come in?" Complained Samantha while covering her mouth.Her words resulted in Ethan's smirk and he answered, "It doesn't matter... tomorrow and the coming days, I'll see your face every day when I wake up, first thing in the morning."He leaned over and pecked on Samantha's lips and said, "Good morning, Sam. I had the hotel bring up some breakfast so we can leave as soon as possible. You are all ready, right?"She smiled at her morning kiss and answered, "Yes, overly ready. The kids have been so excited, they slep
Chapter 46: Ethan's Desire
Taking a deep breath, Samantha braced herself, seeing how Ethan was moving forward. Clearly, they were in for a long and hot kiss, like he had been suggesting for a while now.She lay on the massive bed, feeling her heart drumming against her ribcage.Samantha was still remarkably overwhelmed at how she was in the arms of Ethan Wright.He was handsome, clearly sexy, and smart, and he was the father of her children.This same man was now her husband, and he was looking straight into her eyes, filled with obvious desires, ready to eat her up.His big, yet soft hands caressed her cheek and brushed his thumb over her pinkish lips. His touch granted her to tremble all over, giving her that familiar strange sensation in her stomach.It was always this way with Ethan. With the way he touched her or kissed her, she often found herself in an unexplainable euphoria, one she had never known before.Her eyes beca
Chapter 47: This Is It
Samantha's lips formed into an 'O', silently whistling at the sight of Ethan coming out of the lanai area. He had nothing but his Calvin Klein swim shorts and held a shirt in his hand.Her eyes shifted to another side of the pool area, thinking, 'Damn. Did he do that on purpose?'She had never seen a man with such a small waist in her life. It was perfect for touching!Ethan was not a big muscle-man kind of guy, but he had a well-defined torso. He formed just enough abs on his abdomen to keep him lean and stunning looking. He had just enough muscles in his biceps and on his long legs.While Samantha tried to avert his gaze, she stole a glance or two as she pushed Kenzie's floater in the middle of the adult pool!"Mommy! I'm scared!" Kenzie screamed with her eyes closed."Don't be, you have a donut floater around you. Just hold on tight, sweetheart," Samantha chuckled as she caught up with Kenzie."Here I come!"
Chapter 48: Ethan's Stamina
Samantha's hand pressed harder against Ethan's solid chest.Under his breath, she gasped as he untied the straps of her top.She closed her eyes while responding to his heated kisses.At the feel of his hand, slowly descending from her neck to her chest, her body trembled in pleasure. The second she felt his hand over her bare breast, she gasped and sighed, "Oh, God!"She could not fathom the amount of satisfaction she just felt.His hands were warm over her breast, and he was caressing them gently, running his fingers in between her nipple, while tasting her mouth passionately.Samantha watched as her husband let go. His eyes were hooded while looking at her with nothing but desire.Ethan granted Samantha another kiss before he pecked on the corner of her mouth. He moved down to her jaws and then to her neck, kissing while gently sucking on her soft and savory skin."Aaahhh!" A sigh of passi
Chapter 49: I Chose The Best
Looking at herself in front of the mirror of her vanity table, Samantha gasped and said, "I'm nervous."She turned to Ethan and asked, "How do I look?""You look like... my wife," he said before smirking."Pfft! Ethan, please," she answered before studying her evening dress for the night.Samantha wore a mint green spaghetti-strapped, cascading ruffled vintage dress that flowed down to her knees.Her beautiful shoulder blades and slender neck clearly flaunted thanks to the design of her wardrobe.Ethan and Samantha, along with Diana, plus the kids, were going to leave for the Wright Family mansion, which was just a community away.Samantha was apprehensive once more, as she was going to meet Ethan's grandparents for the first time.Taking out a velvet box from his pocket, Ethan placed a simple, yet elegant looking gold necklace around her neck.He bent down and pecked the side of her fac
Chapter 50: Amanda's Intuition
It was already after dinner that Samantha received another invitation from Amanda. This time, they went to the study area for a talk."Sam, I'm so happy that I kept my memory of Sarah all these years," revealed Amanda. She held a cardboard box, containing albums of old pictures and a flash drive that included memories of Sarah Turner Davis, Samantha's mother.Amanda sat next to Samantha and explained, "These are some photos and videos on the flash drive. These are some of the old events where Sarah and I went together as friends are there... at least the ones that I recorded."She grabbed a photo album and flipped it open. Pointing to the first photo, she said, "This was during our first year in college. We enjoyed taking pictures around the campus, even as we attend football games. We were always together! It felt like we were twins!""Wow... She is so beautiful and so vibrant!" Remarked Samantha, looking at her mother's picture as a young lady.
Chapter 51: The Executive Chef
On an early Monday morning, Ethan was walking down the staircase with a frown on his face.When he found one maid cleaning the living room, he asked, "Where is my wife?""Sir, Mrs. Wright is preparing breakfast for the children," told the maid.Ethan walked towards the kitchen, maintaining the grimace on his face. When he found Samantha preparing breakfast, he walked over to her and turned off the stove."Ethan!" While Samantha exclaimed, Ethan turned her to face him.He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said, "Sam, I am not a very demanding man."With his eyes closed, he leaned his head and rested it on Samantha's before revealing, "I am a very busy man, and for now, I'd really like to ask that I wake up next to you every morning when I am around."Samantha was holding a spatula in her hand when Ethan turned her over. Her hands remained raised while her body was held tight by her husband.
Chapter 52: Well Deserved!
Samantha was okay with having Matteo not aid her in the dinner preparations, but what irked her was how he had formed followers in the kitchen amongst the senior staff.One sous chef named Deana, ten station chefs, and four junior chefs joined him in his move to test Samantha's ability to manage the kitchen. All three reasoned that they believe Matteo should be the executive chef and not Samantha.Inside Samantha's head, she thought, 'The nerve! They aren't even afraid that I am Ethan's wife.'"Well, I don't know about you but I'm afraid to lose my job!" Said one station chef, named Jane. "I'm staying.""I'm staying too! I have two kids!" Said one of the junior chefs."I guess I'm doing overtime," said one sous chef named Anthony. He was meant to be off, having started worked since breakfast, but given the situation, he decided to stay.Most of the lower ranks chefs and the kitchen staff lingered, especially since they were
