Samantha was feeling the chill around the room, hearing the rain still pouring outside the mansion, but it wasn't the only thing she sensed.
She noticed how big hands were all over her bare skin, going under her sleeping dress and how she received pecks on her face and neck.
Her eyes fluttered open and saw her half-naked husband putting his arms under her body. She whispered, "Ethan? What are you doing?"
"Shhhh... Waking you up," the man said while gradually lifting Samantha with his arms. "Don't worry, I placed pillows around the kids."
Samantha only had a second to look, observing her twins still dozing off on the bed with pillows around them.
Looking back at her husband, she asked, "Where are you taking me?"
With tightening eyes, Ethan softly answered, "To the bathroom."
"What? What time is it? Why are we going to the bathroom?" Sama

Samantha reported to work at seven in the morning. She wanted to observe the breakfast service at the hotel, aiding Anthony, her sous chef that day.As she enforced new dishes and imposed new rules in her kitchen, she was at least satisfied how her executive sous chef had begun his work without complaining.The only catch was, he was giving her a silent treatment. Still, Samantha thought the fact that Matteo was back to work meant he accepted defeat. She now only had to win his friendship.With the exception of one sous chef named Deana, everyone was back to work.Deana, the bitter and number one follower of Matteo, called in sick that day. Thankfully, it was not such a busy day.Being a Tuesday, the rest of the morning was somewhat quiet.

The afternoon was another quiet time for the kitchen. So Samantha took the chance to discuss with her team the upcoming grand opening of the hotel. They were two weeks away and like as she did with their regular dishes; she wanted to make some slight modifications to the planned courses.Since they did not have any orders at three in the afternoon, nor were the reservations in the evening that significant, they tested on her alterations, cooking the required dishes according to Samantha's adjustments.The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was made closed for their own food tasting and discussion over the dishes."Hmmm... This is just heaven," remarked Anthony. "Wonder why I never tried it this way!""I love the mix seafood dish!" Remarked Jane. "I did not think it was possible to use lemon leaves as an added aroma!"Samantha chuckled and said to them, "Sometimes, you learn things as you cook for your child."Matteo, on the other han

The middle of the week was surprisingly busier for the hotel. Both restaurants of the First Diamond Hotel were packed with guests.It was thanks to Belinda Lopez's feature of the hotel on a Wednesday morning that reservations came through in the afternoon and in the evening itself.On a Thursday night, The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was crowded!Samantha wound up coming home very late in the evening that day, fulfilling the very last order, not wanting to leave her team on their very first rewarding night.Entering the master bedroom, Samantha greeted her husband, "Hey there, handsome.""Hmmm. Is it normal for the wife to come home much later than her husband?" Ethan answered while putting aside his laptop.Samantha chuckled and climbed right next to him on the bed. She, herself, warranted for a kiss, crashing into his arms and lips.That prompted Ethan to wrap his arms around Samantha and caressing her angelic f
Chapter 61: The Unexpected Visit
"Chef Sam, someone... is here to see you," said one of the servers of the Pearl Diamond Restaurant on a Friday afternoon.Samantha was just about to finish the lunch service with her team when she was informed of a visitor so formally. She frowned and asked, "Is it, my husband?""No, Chef... It's General Davis," said the food attendant. "What should I say?"Feeling her heart racing, Samantha paled at the name of her father. She repeatedly flickered her eyes for seconds. Only after seeing the strange expression coming from the food attendant and some kitchen staff did she say, "Ummm... Why don't you bring him to the lobby lounge and I'll follow.""Yes, Chef Sam.""You okay?" Matteo asked, seeing her expression. "What's with you and the military? You had the same scared expression when you went to see the Brown couple."Turning to Matteo, Samantha answered, "Ummm... It's a long story. Do you mind taking over?""Of course," said Ma
Chapter 62: Shameful!
From within the Fort Eagle Military Camp, the biggest estate, an old home of the Davis family, had helpers scrambling left and right in preparation for Samantha's return."What is all this? Why have you invited some of Sam's previous classmates? Even Clayton and his family are here," Winfield Davis probed with his brows drawn together, seeing so many people gathered in their dining room that ten-thirty in the morning."Well, Winfield. This is your daughter's official return to the mansion. We thought it would be nice for her to meet up with old friends and see familiar faces," suggested Catherine Davis. "I even invited some of your relatives, coming from the Davis side!""Today is a day for Samantha to rejoice, coming back to this home!" Catherine exclaimed. "That's why we prepared so much food!"She smiled at Winfield Davis before saying, "I can't wait to see her!"It baffled Winfield how his wife was so eager to see Samantha. Sure, it

"You have wrongly represented us - parents! What kind of parents would throw their child out of their home when she is two months pregnant! What?!" Amanda's eyes widened and her voice further raised as she added, "More than the shame of Sam's misreading, I bet people behind your back talked about the shameful act you both had done to the child you call your own!"Amanda had been glaring back and forth at Catherine and Winfield before she added, "If Sarah were alive, she would dare not abandon her own child! Clearly, Winfield, this new wife of yours is BELOW Sarah! She and her daughter even dared to bring up Samantha's past like it was the worst sin on earth!"Amanda's words brought about silence in the room.Everyone saw how Winfield's pride was wounded, and how Catherine's face paled. All the more, when Amanda added, "I wonder what is more sinful, getting pregnant or murder!"Redirecting her gaze to Catherine, Amanda squinted. Her nose flared while

Envy flashed through Annie's eyes, seeing how Samantha's little girl easily won the heart of her adoptive father.It irked her how Samantha could produce such an adorable young child despite having slept with an ugly old man.Just when she thought her jealousy was at its peak, Ethan walked in, holding a boy that looked exactly like him; A mini version of the great Ethan Wright!Annie Davis found herself gawking at Ethan and the little boy. She could vaguely hear the introductions spoken by Samantha, merely focusing on the resemblance of the two.Finally, her soon-to-be mother-in-law broke the silence and asked, "Why - why does... your son look so much like Ethan?""Yes, such a coincidence," her adoptive father, Winfield Davis remarked, also looking back and forth at Ethan and the little boy."Um... no, actually father... It is not," Annie heard Samantha answer, practically flushing as she said the words.It mad
Chapter 65: The Apology
The entire lunch was a mix of silence and awkward exchange, but it was thanks to the children's optimism that the mood lightened up.Kenzie especially walked towards the General and asked, "Grandpa, you did not eat at all. Is there something wrong?"The little girl's pure-hearted probing and gleaming eyes made Winfield sigh. He gasped as he reached for the child's head and said, "I'm not very." He cleared his throat before resuming, "I'm not very hungry.""But grandpa, Mommy always tells me that food is a blessing! Sometimes we only had chocolate porridge, but you have pork and vegetables on your plate. You should eat that grandpa," revealed Kenzie.While he forced a smile at Kenzie, it all the more tightened Winfield's chest. He turned to Samantha and silently asked for an explanation.Even Ethan was looking at his wife, wondering what Kenzie meant."Um." Samantha pursed her lips as she set aside her utensils. She ex
