Calla's POV:
Today, the sun seemed to show mercy on earth as its rays were warming to the extent of a blanket.
As a warm breeze blew past me, I thought "What a day!"
Standing on the balcony of my future temporary home, I was thinking about what will be my future. I don't know, honestly.
Like a fool I am, I agreed to this mess. Like an idiot, I agreed to solve my Ame's agony when I can't even bear mine.
I sighed tilting my head side to side and looking at the clouds that looked happy whispering to the breeze while my mind was completely numb thinking about my situation.
"Is that a sigh of relief?" came a taunting voice coated with hate.
My eyes widened when I realized that it was the voice of her love.
"Samuel?" I asked turning around to look at him at a speed of light.
To only regret it.
Disgust.
The only emotion featured in his expression.
"Why wouldn't you be relieved? After successful messing up my life." He gritted his teeth like it was almost impossible to even talk to me. And I think it may be true.
Instead of showing my true feeling, as usual, I wore a blank face just to save my face in front of him.
"What are you talking about?" I asked rolling my eyes and turning my back on him to look at the trees around here. If I were more at peace, I would have really appreciated them.
When I was expecting a lot of venom words from that pretty mouth of him, I suddenly felt a tug at my right arm.
Next thing I know I was staring at a very angry Samuel.
But that's not a problem.
My problem is the closeness between us.
"Really? You don't know what I am talking about?" He asked with his hand gripping my arm tight showing no mercy to the pain neither in my arm nor in my heart.
I gulped at the sight of his face so close to mine.
Come on, you can't blame me. I mean he was that handsome and I was really really swayed away by his eyes. A chocolate fountain I want to dive in.
Wait! I have to react!
Samuel who was relaxed that I am not reacting violently was startled when I aggressively released my hand from his hold by harshly pulling my hand.
"Don't touch me!" I said with a blank face with a plain tone but a warning as clear as day.
His shocked face turned to a deep frown when he heard my words.
He pushed me to the railing on the balcony and put his hands on either side of me. He leaned forward until his nose was threatening to touch mine.
Shock was an understatement for me.
My eyes widened on their own at his sudden proximity.
"Samuel, What are you...." My words were cut off by his harsh whisper in my ears.
I am not gonna lie it low-key feels like he was seducing me. But I know better.
"You don't like my touch. But you want to be my wife. What a saint!" He whispered in my ears with his teeth gritting.
And I am sure by now that his teeth will be gone by all his gritting out.
I mean, man, who would in their right mind grit teeth that much?
I know that I can't push him by his chest. Because he will be ready for that attack considering my last attack.
And I don't want to be a coward in front of him.
Let's try another route.
While he was staring at my shocked face, I decided to give him a heart attack.
I slowly smile widely, placing my arms around his neck. I moved my face near his neck just near his ear, my lips dangerously touching his neck.
"Why, baby? Does my husband want his touch to be liked by his wife? Do you like me that much, darling?" I whispered seductively or rather that's what I thought. I haven't done this before to anyone.
I swear I could hear his heartbeat in this proximity. His heart was beating o fast. Could it be because of me?
I wonder....
When I moved away from him, I smiled at his shocked face. I know he won't expect this. Heck, even I don't!
I smiled at him before leaving the balcony.
I left before he came back to earth.
Probably I ran because he will definitely kill me.
I am sure that I will be killed at our next meeting.
I will care about that at that time.
When I reached the living room, I realized that the atmosphere there is still the same.
I went to sit on the single sofa while aware of everyone looking at me.
"So, Mr. Foster, Is our plan final?" I asked holding my hands together in my lap and looking at him straight in his eyes.
" Yes! Ms. Mason. There will be no change." He said with a blank face.
"So….., when..will…be….the….wedding? came a stuttering voice full of sadness which put me to shame.
Yes, it was Amelia.
I truly felt bad for her.
Mr. Foster's eyes softened at her.
"Oh! Dear! It's the same day as Samuel's friend Liam!" He said in an extremely sad voice.
I have never that my wedding day will be announced in such a tone.
Anyways, I am more concerned about explaining this mess to Emily and Liam.
They will kill me for this.
"What we will say to everyone? Amelia and Sam are engaged. Now this girl out of nowhere is marrying my son. What will we say?" Mrs. Foster nearly spat the words with hatred. I cringed internally.
At that question even Amelia was looking hopeful like this will cancel the wedding.
"We have no choice but to act like Ms. Mason and Sam are in love. So, We have to call off the previous engagement." He carefully talked looking at Amelia like she was a piece of glass that will break at any time.
The word "ACT" directly attacked my heart.
I sighed to control it.
"No way!...…. No way, I will act like cheating on my Amelia. Love? Me and her?" He shouted and proceed to laugh dryly.
Who, you ask?
Obviously, it is my Ame.
"Sam, If you want our Amelia alive, then shut your damn mouth." Mr. Foster harshly yelled tired of his son.
"Ok!" Samuel said defeated.
When he came to sit near Amelia, that too in front of me, I notice that he was trying to avoid my eye contact.
I just shook my head slightly at his sudden weird behavior of not glaring at me.
"So, Mr. Foster, see you in 15 days for the engagement." I politely excused myself to leave this mad house.
He just nodded. I resisted my eyes from rolling.
Before leaving I took one last look at Samuel, who at the same time looked at me. He just looked at me anticipating my reaction.
I just smiled sadly before turning my back.
