I sigh loudly running my fingers through my already disheveled hair pacing across my room with Sam watching me closely, a specific someone with green eyes and brown soft hair keeps taunting my mind making it so frustrating to think straight.

"Relax, she will get over this and move on, " Sam says patting my shoulders while I seat on the edge of the bed with her standing between my legs.

"She making me feel so guilty but I am only doing this for her," I say sadly before blowing air through my parted lips.

"I actually spoke with her this morning," she says discreetly before seating beside me.

"Didn't I make it clear to you not to speak or come anywhere close to Shiloh? " I question angrily.

I specifically told her not to speak with Shiloh because I had it under control but she just had to do contrary " calm down I was only trying to play a part by being a jealous fiancee and besides you should be thanking me not yelling for no just reason " she says rolling her eyes at me.

I glare at her " I just hope you haven't forgotten why we are doing this ?" I ask making sure she does not get carried away thinking I love her.

"I don't think I would ever because you seem to remind me always," she says harshly sounding a bit hurt.

Focusing more on her harsh tone " don't act like I am the only one gaining here we both know you are gaining so much from this" I say agitatedly.

She abruptly stood to her feet picking her purse from the couch beside the bed " you should stop with your hatred towards me because we have to at least act like we can stand each other for our love scenes to seem real" she says firmly.

I stand up walking towards the door " it's not my fault I can't stand your presence" I say leaving the room with her walking beside me.

"My driver just arrived " she informs me as we walk towards the living room where Mum was doing some work "Mrs.Elaina I will be going home now," Sam says with a smile gaining my Mum's attention.

"Alright dear, say, hello to your parents on my behalf," she says with a smile before returning to her work.

I walk Sam towards where her car was parked before her driver opened the car door for her to get in "Bye sweetheart" she says trying to kiss me on the lips making me move my face, her lips lands on my cheek then she got into the car.

She waves me goodbye as she drives out of the compound.

I run my hand through my hair" today has been one heck of a day" I say sighing before walking towards my room praying Mum ignores what happened today without asking to speak with me.

Because I honestly don't know what I could say to save myself from her anger.

Entering into my room I lay on the bed taking my phone from the nightstand, pressing the on button, the phone beep to life.

A smile grace on my countenance before fading into a frown, a picture of Shiloh which I used as my wallpaper appears making me acknowledge the fact that I am still yet to remove it has my wallpaper.

But I can't because this reminds me of her beautiful innocent smile, I remember the day I took this when we went out on a date at the park.

She was so happy laying on the grass with a radiant smile-enhancing her glamour while staring at the bright sky above her, I took a picture because the site was so adorable I even had to it keep as my wallpaper.

I place the phone back on the nightstand shutting down the memories before staring at the moon shining brightly through the closed windows suddenly feeling the urge to laugh.

So I laugh angrily thinking about the last words she said before leaving. How ironic.

She is happy for me. Why am I feeling this way, this is what I want, for her to give up on me, to move on with life but then why is it so hard for me...

A knock on the door snapped me from my thought "young master your Dad needs you in his office " a maid says before leaving.

I got up from the bed before leaving towards his office pushing the door of his office open to find him seated on his usual spot with a glass of Chateau cheval Blanc 1947 " you sent for me" I say taking a seat across from him.

"I had a little talk with Shiloh as expected she refused the money, " he says calmly.

We talked about this more like my Dad decided" Dad I entreated you not to go on with it" I say between clutched teeth.

"She is pregnant for you we can't take any risk or the press may find out," he says before sipping from his drink " Mr.Atlas won't be happy if that should happen," he says giving me a crucial look.

"I will take care of it," I say calmly.

"You better or I can always use my ways, " he says with a hidden threat lacing his words.

Knowing my Father he is a man of his words, a man who is hardworking attaining his goals "I understand sir" I say with a nod.

" What other surprises are you plotting ?" Mum says walking into the room gaining our attention "because it seems I officially don't have a say in all this" she says if only eyes could me, me, and Dad would be on our knees pleading for our life.

"Honey, we are just discussing company business," he says nonchalantly avoiding Mum's intense gaze.

"Which includes Chance getting engaged or rather about how Shiloh is expecting your grandchild, " she says angrily with a hard stare.

" Elaina we discussed this and besides your son loves Samantha," he says walking towards her " I am giving my support for his wise decision ".

" Am not surprised," she says sounding disappointed" this alliance will favor you in many ways but for once think about your son he believes he loves Sam but he loves Shiloh more "

I chose this as a time to speak since Dad is left speechless by Mum as always" Mum I love Sam, what I had with Shiloh was inflation but I still care for her " I say keeping a stern expression.

"I know you so well please don't jeopardize your future thinking this is the right way out," she says sadly arguing.

I squirm on my seat feeling uncomfortable with her gaze on me but my mind is already made up, " Mum I don't love Shiloh anymore stop forcing her on me" I say mildly before adverting my gaze towards Dad for help.

"Relax love, be sure of his decision deciding not to back down anytime soon," Dad says with sincerity in his voice while trying to make Mum calm down.

"I am not in support of this make sure you both are ready for the verdict after all this is over," she says throwing a dagger our way before leaving.

I sigh tiredly while Dad place himself back on his seat with his lips pursed together "Don't stress about your Mum I will take care of her just go on dates with Sam to get the press to notice " he says filling his empty glass before gulping down everything "I am very proud of you son" he says directing his index finger at me with the empty glass between them.

I left his office towards my room to put an end to the overbearing day.

I got ready for the beginning of a new day before leaving my family's house towards my home.

I park my car then get out to meet with the silence inside the house before making my way towards Shiloh's room knocking lightly on the door" coming" she yells pulling the door with wide eyes staring directly at me in surprise.

Her face was free from makeup leaving her eyes puffy, red nose, and red cheeks like she cried herself to sleep. Which I am to be blamed for.

She is in her pajamas making a bad hair day look sexy.

I cough lightly clearing those unwanted thoughts getting myself back on track " can I come in ?" I ask.

Blinking twice before replying " sure come in " she move aside letting me in.

I got to admit this room is pretty small and lacking some needed things she is used to.

I took a seat on the chair beside the reading table before focusing my gaze on her, " my Dad told me about his discussion with you " I say going straight to the point making her tense.

"I didn't take the money if that is what you are worried about," she says softly her gaze downcast.

"No am not worried about that but I am worried about your feelings towards me, " I say brushing her words off.

"What do you mean?" She questions glancing at me in turmoil.

"I am engaged to Sam and I love her so much," I say trying not to meet her hurtful gaze "loving me will only hurt you, and I really don't want you to get hurt"

"Please, go straight to the point, " she says with her voice cracking with emotion.

"What am saying is you have to kill your feelings for me to save yourself from getting hurt," I say sternly feeling ashamed of my action but this is for the best.

I deserve her hating me and not her love.

" I understand," she says before licking her dry lips "Thanks for letting me stay here," she says softly.

"Okay, get ready for class," I reply leaving her room going towards my office before getting ready for my afternoon classes.

"Chance, I need you to come pick me up," Sam says through the speaker of my phone.

I just finished with my classes so I am about to drive back home before receiving a call from Sam " for what exactly?" I ask getting into the car.

"We are going shopping to find the perfect dress for our engagement party," she says coyly.

"I am not doing that with you, and besides you can get your seamstresses to make the perfect dress," I say getting irritated with her demand.

"Okay let make it a date, " she says sweetly.

"Okay I am on my way you, pesky," I say hanging up not waiting for her reply.

I drove towards her college where she was currently studying modeling.

She walks towards my car after noticing my car parked in the parking lot " hey" she says getting in before placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Give me the address of the place?" I say starting the engines.

"Hey, Sam how are you doing? how were your classes?. Then I will reply with am doing great, my class was great with you on my mind, " she says sarcastically.

My lips twitch into a smile "Don't be ridiculous" I say with a smile on my lip receiving a weird look from her "what?" I ask confused.

"Nothing," she says typing the address into the GPS.

I drove off following the direction of the GPS before arriving at the mall.

We both got out walking towards a boutique with our hands locked together just for eye see.

"Sam please could you just pick any dress," I say getting frustrated.

We have been here for about three hours going into different shops, I wish I never signed up for this " Stop being so grumpy" she says picking gowns from the racks before walking towards the dressing room.

"Maybe I could stop being grumpy by leaving you here," I say with a smirk.

"You know there is a thin line between love and hate" I took a seat on a bench watching her go through the clothes.

" your point?"

"My point is since you hate me now you may actually fall in love with me tomorrow, " she says slowly making me laugh loudly.

"Sam I told you countless times don't let all this get to you, and I don't even hate you," I say firmly still laughing.

"Whatever, pesky," she says before leaving to change.

"Chance do you think Shiloh would attend our engagement?" She asks from the changing room.

"I hope she doesn't "I reply incoherently.

I watch her walk out of the dressing room wearing a long-length gold dress with a deep v neck bringing out her curves.

" what do you think?" She asks twirling around but before I could answer she beat me to it "don't say anything this dress is perfect I am buying this " she says leaving me dumbfounded.

She changes into her normal clothes before asking a female worker to get the dress ready " let's get something to eat" she suggests. we left after I paid to go towards an eatery at the mall.

After taking Sam home I decided to have a night out with the boys in the VP part of Louis's Dad's nightclub.

"I can't believe you are getting engaged," Louis says taking a shot.

"But in the process, you are hurting Shiloh" Damien suggests.

"I know, but it's not my fault she still loves me, " I say gulping down my drink before going for another.

"I hope you know what you are getting yourself into, " Louis says rigidly.

"Let's forget all these things for now," I say wanting to change the subject and they both get the message" Sam is really getting on my nerves but she is cool. Can you believe she made me go shopping with her and I had to carry her shopping bag" I say irritated.

"Shiloh would never make me go shopping with her or dare ask me to carry her shopping bag but Sam is so different which makes me so angry and frustrated because she can never be like my Shiloh," I say my words coming out unclear.

I gulp down Five more shots" Chance you have to slow down " Damien advises watching me empty my glass.

"Damien let it be I need to get drunk and forget how much hurting Shiloh kills me inside," I say dismissing his advice" I hope she forgives me for hurting her now and in future times," I say drunkenly getting a sympathetic look from both my best friends.

"I deserve this verdict," I say refusing to wallow into self-pity.
