Samantha POV
There are certain moments that will have a person wishing for death. I was in that exact dilemma at the moment.
I begin to pace back and forth in the restroom. I could not call Alexander because my phone was switched off.
“I don’t have all day Samantha” He said.
“What do you want?” I asked, trying to sound bold even though I was panicking inside.
“Open the door and let's talk,” He said.
“I will not open the door for a devil like you” I snapped.
“If you do not open that door then I promise you that someone in this mansion right now is going to get hurt.”
His words were cold and menacing. I took one look at the mirror and took a deep breath. This is the time I have to face my worst fear and I have no other option.
I walked to the door and unlocked it.
Jack walked inside the restroom and closed the door behind, a smile lacing his face as he looked at me.
“You are all grown from the last time I saw you” He commented, eyeing my body.
“What do you want from me?” I asked, clasping my hands together while trying to hold my ground with shaky feets.
“I just want you to be mine,” He said.
“How can you just walk into my life and think you deserve a second chance?” I asked and pulled the fabrics of my cloth on my hand showing it to him.
“Do you remember this scar?” I asked and pulled my long hair to the side pointing to my right eye. “Or the scar you gave to me in the eye. None of them have ever healed.”
“I will rather die than get back to you” I added, getting angry as I recalled all the traumatic encounters with him.
“Be Careful what you wish for” He said with a smirk. “But do not worry, I am not coming to get you right now. When the time is right, you will be mine”
A loud knock came through the restroom.
“Samantha, are you okay in there?” Alexander’s voice came through.
I turned to Jack and he held a gun with him. He gestured for me to answer appropriately, while he placed the gun in my direction.
“Y..Yes, I will be out in a minute” I said, trying to maintain my voice.
“Okay, I am outside. You can come and meet me when you are done” Alexander finished and walked off.
“Now listen attentively to what I have to say.” Jack said and handed over a piece of paper to me. “If you do not want to see anyone from the Wang family shot dead, meet me at that location tomorrow morning. If I don’t see you, then I will shoot one of them”
I collected the piece of paper from him.
“Now leave” He ordered and I hurriedly rushed out of the rest room.
I walked briskly out of the rest room to the living room and found Mr. Wang and his wife watching a Netflix show.
“What kept you there for so long?” Mr. Wang asked jokingly. “Hope you are alright?” He added.
It was obvious that my face was unsettling.
“Please where is Alex?” I asked, trying to maintain my voice even though it was shaky.
“He is outside waiting for you,” He replied.
“Thank you very much” I smiled at them before walking out of the living room.
A honk at the parking spot had me walking towards the direction.
Alexander had already turned on the ignition of his car and was ready to move.
“What took you so long?” He asked
“I had a running stomach and I need to get myself together” I lied, trying not to hold his gaze.
“Are you sure?”
“Am I sure?”I repeated with furrowed brows and a frown on my face. “I told you what just happened to me. You know what, let's just get out of here” I said, placing my hand on my forehead.
Alexander drove off to the mansion. While we were going on the road, a message popped up on my phone once again from the same private number.
“If you tell anyone about what happened, I promise Mrs. Wang will die first”
A picture popped up next to the message and I gasped in shock.
It was a picture of Mrs. Wang sleeping in her room and Jack pointing a gun in her direction.
When we arrived at the mansion, I struggled to get out of the car, my legs still shaken from the encounter with Jack.
We walked into the living room and I dropped to the couch, closing my eyes and trying to recollect my breath.
“I have been practicing law for several years..” Alexander said as he sat on the couch opposite me. “I know when a person is lying and right now that is exactly what you are doing” He added.
“Listen Alex, I am not in a very good mood at the moment. I want to sleep and we will talk tomorrow” I said and got up from the couch and walked away before he could say anything else.
I stood up and went into my room , I dropped on the bed and closed my eyes.
In the past two days of his return, Jack has only caused more harm to me even though we were not together anymore.
A gentle knock came through the door and I groaned in frustration.
Alexander needs to learn to respect privacy.
I stomped my feet on the ground as I proceeded to open the door for him.
He held a tray of tea and other snacks in his hand and walked into the room, placing them on the table.
“I figured you might need this for rest” He said.
“Thank you but I want to be left alone right now” I said to him softly,
“One more thing…Can you call my phone with yours, I don’t know where I kept it” Alexander suggested.
I turned to the bed and realized my phone was nowhere to be found. I checked the purse and it still wasn’t there.
“Looking for this?”
I turned around and Alexander was holding my phone.
“So when were you going to tell me that this Jack was harassing you?” He asked and I remained silent.
“I am going to keep this phone for the night. I already texted him to get away from you.”
Slowly panic begins to set in.
“You shouldn’t have said that to him!” I said, slapping my face in disappointment. “Now he is going
to kill Mrs. Wang”
“Wait, What?” Alexander asked in disbelief.
