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.

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.

When he found Samantha preparing breakfast, he walked over to her and turned off the stove."Ethan!"

Her hands remained raised while her body was held tight by her husband.

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!"

Chapter 56: Samantha's Confession
"Did you know about Samantha getting involved with the Wrights?" General Winfield Davis asked Matilda as she was being rested by her caregiver to bed.

Why start now?" Matilda asked in return. "If you really want to know... why not speak to your own daughter?""Mother, does Ethan know of Samantha's past?" Winfield Davis tried to probe again, but Matilda did not answer. "If they are married, how come both of them were not wearing any wedding rings?"It was a specific instruction coming from Ethan, not to let the General and his new family know the truth about Samantha and Ethan until they were ready to present themselves to them.
