The Encounter of two lost souls
"Chapter 1"
Red, blue, green, yellow flashes of light with a hardcore music makes me feel im on top. No more buddy guards , no more command, a total taste of freedom that I never felt since the day I surrender myself to Fuentebella family and become one of them. After almost three years of being in a relationship my girlfriend broke up with me because im poor I am broke and she doesn't have any future with me and that's the f*****g reason why I turn back to my previous life and accept being Fuentebella , besides they are my biological family after all. " That's the thing runs to my mind when I am dancing in the bar with strangers.
" Two shots of tequila for this lonely girl, "a girl with a long hair wearing black curvy dress approches and sat beside me.
" You seemed so lonely and upset at the same time! but anyways Im Eris" * offering her hand for a handshake
" I dont know but maybe its a mix emotions, I couldn't say that , well thank you for the shots , Im Samantha" I replied with some fake smile.
Eris open up on how she ended up being at the bar always. It was her ex boyfriend who cheated on her with her best friend actually they planned to get married but unfortunately she caught him red handed. She also make me spill the tea so i told her that my ex left me because I can't be the partner she wanted to be. I also tell her that I am a lesbian and I come from a 3 year toxic relationship." to cut the conversation and prevent from getting hurt I invited her to have some dance then she never hesitate and hurriedly grab my hand.
How ironic it is to see two hurt and in pain people comforting each other and enjoying the rhythm in the dance floor.
Samantha's POV
We're getting closer to each other as the background music getting louder our body move as it has its own mind. We're too drunk but it seems that we both want more.
While dancing I just cant help myself but to keep staring at her. The music suddenly change into sweet and in constant she hugged me and lean her head over my shoulder and start kissing my neck. I was shocked that time so I somehow pushed her a little bit causing her to act like embarrassed. She ran to the VIP room where the place she used to stay the entire night.
I ran into the room and saw her crying all over.
"I'i'i'm so sorry! but I dont mean it ! I DDDONT MMMMEAN TTTO OUSH YYYYOU ! IIII WAS JJJUST YOU KKKKNOW! I AM SSSSHOCKED you wwwere the first person make me feel that way and it just hhhappen that I dddont know how to react with it" I explained but this f*****g mouth keep on stuttering
"You dont have to explain yourself, I get it! Im not good in anything, like thats the reason why I get cheated on im just an outs......."
I kissed her as if its like we know each other for so long. She kissed me back , by that time we found each other a safe place.
Eris point of view
I met some stranger and decided to hook up with her . Actually I didn't mean to get closer to her but it was my first time doing it with the same gender as I have. I never planned to do it so I was just under the influence of alcohol and get carried away. I felt ashamed of what I did, but who the hell can resist of such a goddess smell
Her perfume lured me and made me feel even more addicted to it. I ran towards the VIP room and take full shots of alcohol thinking that she might leave me just like my ex boyfriend did. I was about to talk then a soft like cotton lips instantly take over me. We had oppurtunity to get to know each other more and in fairness
she manage to make me realize that being not so good in romance does make ma less of a person. I surrender myself as if I can trust her my own life. I started sharing some of my experiences,mistakes and even stuff about me,she made me felt comfortable. The night go so well and every minute of it surely enjoyed.
Samantha and I spend the night, shes cute more than i imagined. It took me half an hour to finally realized that I've been smiling while staring at her face. Her eyes is my favorite part like there's something she wanted to prove on. She introduce herself as Sam the artist, she even manage to showcase her talent when she made some fast sketch of me on a piece of tissue paper. More stories, more jokes and having s*x with a stranger! well thats the story of it.
I felt so dizzy not realizing that it was 9 o'clock in the morning.
" Sheshhhh im late," I mumbled
I take all my clothes in, and fix myself but a peace of paper distracted me for a while.
Letter (Samantha's POV)
"Ammmmm I dont know how to start it, but sorry for what happen last night, I mistook the opportunity of knowing you better and it ended up having a night stand with you. Its shameful because I didn't hold back. Here is my favorite necklace, I hope you'll treasure it. Ill take it back when I clean up my mess. yours truly, Sam"
It took me an hour to arrive at my destination at East Point where I work as Branch Manager of a liquor Company. It was a distributor company under the largest distillery owned by vigilant business tycoon. There's a rumor that the CEO assigned a new COO of the Company that has been a great tea in the business field. Invitations sent to all business partners headed by Fuentebella Group of Companies.
All the department of East Point remain busy for the entire week since the party will also serve as the flat form to have a deep understanding in the field of my job. Lots of opportunities are comingggg.
"As I open the invitation I saw a particular name it's " FUENTEBELLA" I lmost shout at shock because as far as i know Dion Lior Gayler has a blood line of a Fuentebella.
"why? what the hell is about that Fuentebella?? "
Andrew asked me curiously
" Do you know Dion Lior of RUSS Models? he's a Fuentebella and this party was a huge stage for him. Maybe his family is one of the major sponsor of this event. Look beshy! its a huge event not just about this city but in the entire country. " I explained to my best friend Andrew who happens to be my work mate.
" GOSHHHH WAITT you mean your long time crush??? how can you be so sure that somehow he will notice you??? like duhhhhh his a big person and if he really is a Fuentebella then I will bet that you will never be given the opportunity to meet him. Maybe you can see him but from afar and he will never notice you. Are you okay with that??? you saw him but he, himself doesn't have any idea of your existence." he replied sarcastically.
" You think that made you the best friend of mine??? why the hell you aren't supporting me??? Let's just have some hope that he will somehow notice me. " I replied
" Ok!!! maybe let's think of having some plan.So this is the scenario, Dion was walking in the isle then here we are planning to get closer to him. We were having chitchat but I push you a lil bit because of your corny jokes them you spill your wine on him. He will notice you but his mad and the moment you try to wipe her expensive toxido he will grab your hand and talks to you like what's happening in such family tails. He felt in love with you and take your hand, ask you out and leave the event like a prince and a princess. BUT ITS ALL YOUR DREAM YOU SILLY !!! how come a man who's good for everything be in love with you?? look beshy we have different world we live in different level so will you please stop dreaming??? " Andrew added.
I was about to believe that scenario but I think Andrew was right.
" How about having salon this coming Sunday?? what do you think??? " I ask him maybe he will support me this time.
" Ammmmm Sunday??? let me think of it! welllll I have date with my boyfriend but it's a dinner date so I'm on it. Let's get beautiful sissy!!"
" such a girly freaked bit....."
I stop talking as Mr. Lu pass across the aisle . he's wearing an eyeglass to cover up the black eye he got. Maybe he had a fight with his wife , but he deserves that. He's a bit of a cheater i can tell it since i met his wife before and the last time i saw him, he was with another woman , a not so familiar woman. About 5'4 petite blonde haired woman the one i saw with him in a public place let's say a theater. But I need to shut up since he has a higher position than mine and with that I feel so petty with her wife, a loving and caring wife.
That cheater doesn't deserve her at the first place.
"Oppsss it's already 5 o'clock maybe we should continue it sometime. Anyways I have to fix my things first but please do wait me!" I asked Andrew then get back to my mini office.
As I started fixing and packing my stuff I dropped something. I went under my table and look for it. finally i saw that strangers necklace . I spend minutes looking at this gold necklace wondering what kind of person it belongs.
"Erisssss hurry upppppp" Andrew shouted.
I grab my things and directed to the door. As I saw Andrew I felt that I need to ask him about that feeling of kissing a woman like me since he and his boyfriend are gay couple. Maybe he's the best person to ask for advice.
Andrew's POV
"What took that girl for so long? goddammit!! "
"Erisss hurry upppp" I shouted at her
She hurriedly run to me carrying her stuff and all.
"You know I really wanted to left you! you took so long! and What's that??" I asked her without knowing that I was thinking that the necklace was given by someone or maybe her suitor, well that's better than her ex boyfriend. Well I am Andrew Forbs best friend of Eris Luna.
"Hey, Can I ask you something? It's a bit strange but please don't laugh at me" Eris asked me
." Oppsss you got me nervous huh !! so what is it?? just spill the tea darling." I asked Eris
" You know what maybe it's a good idea if you stay at my crib for tonight??? I'll cook for both of us. Remember tea is more delicious if ......" I cut Eris out, and decided to have sleep over in her house.
It takes 15 minutes to finally arrived at her house.
She took 30 minutes to finally prepared our dinner.
While having the food I remember that Eris asked me to go in a bar I go with her but my boyfriend called me and asked me to get home as early as I can so I decided to asked Eris to come with me.
"Anyways before you tell me what the necklace all about , may I asked you why the hell happened this morning??? why are you late??"
"Okay, well this is the real thing here. I get back to that bar the same night because I wanted to enjoy my freedom besides no one gets mad if I drunk too much. So here's the tea, I was about to pee then I bump with this good looking girl and damnnn she smell like heaven, oh God I can't forget it. That girl is kinda weird but I never mind her, so I peed as I passed through the bartender corner I smell familiar , and thats the girl I bumped with. Then out of blue, I ask the bartender to give her shots of tequila than that conversation start. That's the begining and the ending of it was terrifying ghadddd." Eris complain.
" And what happen??? ohhhh so you have some stranger things?? look tell me what really annoys you???" I asked Eris with my sarcastic smile.
" WE TALK TO EACH OTHER, WE KISSED AND SHITTT I HAD ONE NIGHT STAND WITH A STRANGER. its my first time having s*x with a girl. Oh come on, why the hell I'm I this affected, I loose nothing at the first place."She still complaining.
" And what happen next?? Do you enjoyed it??" I asked Eris in suspense way.
" To be honest, I, I, I it seems my body likes it and you know I felt some strange in me during that time I mean the pleasure she gave is kinda different from what I experience with Liam.But it's unfortunate she left me all alone after that one night stand she just left me with that peace of paper and a necklace damnnnn. They Are all the same s**t!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGGG" she shouted
" So that necklace belongs to her huh?? maybe she has a plan to meet you somehow. Yieeee sounds interesting you lil bitch." I teased Eris causing her to get blushed.
Eris POV
" Maybe You're right! what if she just feel sorry for what she does! maybe she's thinking of way to communicate with me regardless of what happen on our first meet??? Maybe that's the real deal but why the hell she didn't left any contact number or just right down her complete name.? I murmured.
"Well besty, Can I ask you ?? how did you meet your boyfriend?? and how are you so sure that he's the one for you?? do you have any clue?" I asked him
Andrew's POV
"Well, he's playing volleyball that time and I was like cheering my cousin , he was with a girl cheering for him who I thought his girlfriend that time but fortunately it was his sister who really loves volleyball but can't play because of her heart failure. My cousin plays with him most of the time that's why I have more time with her sister at the bench. During the first competition of my cousin, his sister sat beside me to cheer. Suddenly, she approach me, and asked me" Do you love volleyball too? I always saw you in every game of my brother" I was shocked and I felt ashamed of accusing her as my crush's girlfriend. Indeed! she's Nicolai, my boyfriend's little sister. " I stated.
"Oh really? I thought you're his girlfriend "
"(smiling) you know what?? you're not the first person think that way! I was just too spoiled by him that's why I'm always with his side and never leave me. He loves me so much since I am his only sibling. He always make surprises, he understands me the most and he sacrifices all his happiness to make me happy just by doing things I really love to do, like this! like volleyball. I'm so happy to experience this things through him, but the most precious thing I can receive was to see his smile again anyways I'm Chris, I hope to know you better." She told me.
Oh my God I felt so touched by how he was as a brother!! and I have this feeling that I wanted to know more things about him.
The game was over and the victors are the Titans of course my team. Chris, Nicolai's sister introduce me to his brother. Nicolai offer his hand for a handshake with me. The moment our hand touched each other , Oh godddd is this the sign?.
Our story started when I decided to join their volleyball team and look at us now, we were celebrating our 2nd year anniversary this coming Sunday. That's why we need to be beautiful, the beauty no one can resist.
"If you feel something like mix emotions maybe you should try to communicate with her or try meditating. Its not easy to enter in l***q world, discriminations, lost of confidence, betrayal and so on, be ready for those negativities that's the world of us. But!!! REAL LOVE can conquer all, all you have to do is to trust each other."I added as I Eris puffy eyes.
Eris POV.
To be exact, I learned a lot from my best friend, maybe I was mesmerized by Sam. I have to move on , I want to feel and enjoy my current life so if there's a chance to meet Sam again maybe we should try to make things up to.
Two days left for the grand event here I am fixing myself. I really wanted to amaze Dion Lior,my long time crush.I got a new hair look and my nails will perfectly fit to my dress.
(Meanwhile in Fuentebella mansion.)
Samantha's POV
Kringgg!! kringgg!!! kringggggg
I woke up to turn the alarm off because I'm so sleepy that's why I take another hour of sleep. I need beauty rest, I'm not gonna bother myself to maintain my freshness. This time I felt so ashamed of myself, the moment I get in the mansions gate I felt so much guilt. Its about what happen that night, damnnnn alcohol I lost my wallet and the most unexpected thing happened.
I decided to take a shower at that moment, drops of freezing water fall into mine that soaked my shirt untill it perfectly touch my skin. I still remember the way her hand clinched my neck. Her sweet strawberry flavored lipstick, Andddd .....
Someone enters my room so I decided to get myself fix before it's too late. I have an idea who the hell trespass my privacy.
"Good morning my little one" he asked me while smiling .
"I'm good grandpa! Haven't I told you to knock first before entering my room?? You're invading my privacy!!" I replied to him.
Yes it's him Master Gabriel Fuentebella the founder and the president of Fuentebella Group of companies. I can't even imagine that this kind of respected tycoon who happens to be this silly and crazy at the same time. But in fairness, of all his grandchild I become his apple of the eye in just 5 years being a Fuentebella. Well it's 5 years since we learned that I am a Fuentebella and for those 5 long year he keep on chasing me and giving all his best for me to accept them as my biological family. I do really hate being a part of it because of issues that this family has. Well it's a long story Why I ended up accepting them as my family. Well let's forget about them.
"So you're ready? We have to meet Mr. Sinichoro, well you might have any idea on how to please him? do you?" He asked but I know this old hag has this idea of using my connection with Mr. Sinichoro's son.
"Yeah! I have him before during their gathering, Akira ,his son become one of my close friend in this industry. Look, I'll help you but please never introduce me as your grandchild. Is it okay grandpa??? You know what?? I can do whatever you asked but only with conditions. "
" WAHHAAAAAAAAHAAAHAH you really are my grandchild! THATS A FUENTEBELLA! Smart, excellent , exceptional and wild. Your father would be so proud of y....." he was cut out by someone who I trust the most in this hell.
" Yahhhhhhhhh dada will be so proud of you little sister" My Big brothers compliment, yes despite of being lost of almost 17 years I never lost in my brother's heart. Twenty years ago my brother was the smartest of their class but an accident take his innocence away from him. We both lost out parents, Rafael Fuentebella and Sabrina Rocess but for him, for my older brother, he lost his entire family because at that time of accident the only body recovered was our parents burned body.He take all the traumas, he start to blame himself at the age of seven. Our grandfather take his custody and raise him. Since grandpa spent his time on his business, he never pay hundred percent of attention to my Older brother Samuel. With all the burden he have , he suffered from mental breakdowns , he's afraid of the dark that's why I choose to have my room near him. He's mentally incapacitated, the one who used to be our grandfather's next successor happens to be the weakest among Gabriel Fuentebella's grandchildren.
"Sister, look I draw you, Gramps and I isn't it beautiful?" Brother asked me.
"Wowww amazing, how about giving them new names like we used to do when you draw animals? Let me think of name? What if you replace grandpa's name with Godzilla?? It perfectly fit him right??" As I try to add some joke I saw my brother's genuine smile.
"Big brother, We need to go as soon as I get back I'll play with you is it okay?"
He just nodded, and get back to his room.
As I and Grandpa get in the car, I saw a man standing in front clinching his jaw, that scenario made me happy. It was Dion, my cousin he was the favorite of all when Fuentebella doesn't have any idea that I do really exist, I'm not dead yet.But thanks to my brother, he was the one who convince our grandpa that I am still alive, because of my birthmark , the only thing my brother's remember about me.
Dion was 2 years older than me, he was the smartest off all my cousins. He always get in my way everytime our Grandpa praises me , I love seing him getting wild. Dion was assigned to Handle the RUSS clothing company , his brother Conor trained by his father to manage construction company of Fuentebella since his father Carlos Gayler is a civil engineer and his sister who manage the salon. I was the one in charge of Distillery, the profession dreamed by Dion Lior Gayler, my mortal enemy since the day I become one of them.
At this point my brother are off so I am the most legible to take over Grandpa's position since I carry Fuentebella in my name. And that's the thing made other Fuentebella envy of me. There's more than that, most of our workers respect me more than any of my cousins. I come from a poor family so I know how to treat people so well and that's why most of Fuentebella's servant become loyal to me. I never had a good connection with them so I decided to spend more time with my adopted family, they are my first priority after all.
At the Mansion
Hassi's POV (one of their servant)
"Guess what? guess who??" I asked the other servant in the kitchen.
"I have some teaaaaaaa, wanna spill it?"
"Okay! I saw Sir Dion glaring at my YM Samantha hahahaha , a look of jealousy ahahhahah" I smile out loud lucky enough because the three Gayler left the Mansion.
"Hassiiiiii! shut the f**k your mouth your mouth! you're gonna be dead if someone heard you" Anyways have your YM Samantha tell you to prepare her cloths? She will visit the farm a week before the grand event?? Oh don't tell me you forgot?? Surely, she will kick your ass out of this Mansion." Head Lolita remind me of my assignment.
So that's indeed next week!!! How curious I am on how do the Fuentebella behave in that long awaiting event. I wish that errands can attend too. Oh my God ! self, stop being too dramatic just support your Young Master and she will finally appreciate you.
Samantha's POV
"Anyways paps, like the usual thing I asked, If you're going to introduce me please, just Introduce me as Engr. Ace Engridd Torres, I'm not yet ready to act like a Fuentebella in front of your colleagues and other people. Is it really that possible? You can grant my wish right?" I gently ask my grandpa.
" So when do you plan to admit that you're one of my defendants? are you ashamed of this family? Paps asked me but this time I saw his angry face.
"Well, to be honest?? I'm still afraid that If I show myself in front of the crowd as Samantha Fuentebella, I surely catch the attention of all the people special our enemy. Remember that the culprit in my parents accident remains free as it is. I don't want to get my adopted family get harmed because of me, they did a lot of favor and I hope you understand that paps."
After that argument paps never form me to be Samantha. Things will go right ayaw and the confrontation begin the moment I saw a very familiar face in the Luxurious event.
Samantha froze when she woke up in a dazzling white room surrounded by flowers and medical paraphernalia. She was about to move but a round metal clif prevented her to have such acts.
"A handcuff why? " she ask to a female attendant wearing a clear white uniform, it was her personal nurse.
"What on the world happening here?? is this really a hospital?? why i am in handcuff? am i a criminal? Samantha shouted as if she was about to have her rampage as to cause commotion inside her private room.
Zia , her nurse decided to make a move since she can't answer any of Samantha's dealing questions. Her fellow nurse informed her doctor about the situation in the said room.
A handsome man full of masculinity entered the room... it was Doctor Lawrence Craig , hwr neuro surgeon.
" How are you?" he asked.
But anyways, I am Doc. Lawrence Craig! your neurologist/neurosurgeon.
"What's your name?"
"Do you where are we?"
"Do you remember why your here?"
Doctor Craig consecutively ask to his curious patient. It takes couple of minutes for Samantha to absorb and understand what was going on. She constantly asking herself whi the hell is she, in just a blink of an eye she notice her wristband indicating her name initial and her surename.
"I am S. Fuentebella?" she stated with full of curiosity.
" Why cant I be so confident to tell that I am a Fuentebella? Sheshhh I don't know how to react and what ever" she told to herself.
" Doc will you please explain what's going on? Im a bit confused" she asked
" If you really want precise answer, I hope you dont mind conducting and undergoing in such exams, do you?" Doc Craig asked as if he knows Samantha's trust issues.
BOOGSSSSHHHHH!!! The door open as a young woman age around mid 18-23 years old enter Samantha's room breathing heavily.
"Young master, pardon me for not being with you all this time specially now! "
"How are you? "
"Does anything hurt?" (checking on Samantha's physic .)
The young lady's action added to Samantha's confused mind as if there is another unknown character comes to her life as Samantha Fuentebella.
Suddenly, A cold husky voice began to interfere and subjected to Doc. Craig
"How was my princess situation Lawrence?"
Doc Lawrence bow his head and pay respect to an elderly man standing in the entrance of Samantha's private room.
"Its my pleasure to be your grandchild's personal doctor Great Master Gabriel" Doc Craig respectful response to the elderly man.
"Ohhhh dont mind calling me in that way, grandpa is enough" he responded to it.
Gabriel Falmonleigh Fuentebella is the head of Fuentebella Group of companies and has the largest share in Falcon Distillery. The only person who look after Lawrence Craig when his parents died during the car accident. GM Gabriel felt petty for Lawrence situation since he himself experience loosing both parents at the same time.
"Since you were all here, lets talk about Samantha's condition first" .
" Zia , get the result of her examinations" Doc. Craig commanded.
"The result proved that Samantha has
post-traumatic amnesia.
It is a damage to brain structures that form the limbic system, which controls emotions and memories.
Usually grandpa it can last from a few minutes to several weeks or months, depending on the severity of brain injury. As for now i assure you that there no more complications related to her accident. There are some instances that she might suffer from head aches but the result shows that there's no major fracture to her bones. As I mention her memory lost took some time so dont bother yourself." Lawrence explain it clearly.
" Is there a possibility that her memories will never get back? Its a good thing for her to start her new life as my heir so take responsibility for her Lawrence, I'm counting on you."
" So I've got an amnesia huh, sooo the only thing that matter is my memory lost , this broken legs and this freaking feeling of uneasiness when im with this people wearing freaking plain white uniform as if I am in mental hospital!"
" Uncuff me, or else ill burn you" Samantha shouted in rage .
