Chapter Forty Four

I spent two days in the hotel, Mandy came to visit me every day and she never came with anyone. I was happy she respected my wishes not to come with anyone. On the third day, I was ready to go back home and Mandy was there to pick me up. She ordered an Uber that took us home.

I unlocked my door. It felt nice to be back home.

"Thank you Mandy for everything, thank you for standing by me in this hard time. I don't know what I would have done without you" I smiled at her

"I must stand by you. You were there when I needed you and it's only right I do the same. I'll be on my way now, Peter is waiting for me and I have to go to work"

"Okay, thank you once again. I'll stop by the house later"

"Sure. If your phone rings please pick up, I don't want your brothers blasting my phone up"

"Yes, mum" we started laughing. It felt nice to laugh this hard "I promise to pick up" we hugged each other and she left. I locked the door and put on the television, they were showing After and they were halfway through it. It was interesting and I was enjoying the movie until someone knocked on my door. I felt it was Mandy since she was the only one that knew I came back.

I unlocked the door "Did you forget something, Man........" I paused when I saw it was Samantha.

"You!!!!!! What are you doing here?"

"Ummm......Euli...I.....I......"

"If you don't have anything to say I'm shutting the door" I was about to shut the door when she shouted

"Wait!!!! I have something to tell you. Please can I come in?"

"You have ten minutes to say whatever you have to say and be on your way"

"Ten minutes is fine" she gave me a small smile

"Come in" I opened the door wider for her to enter "Sit down"

"Thank you"

"Your time starts now" I remind her

"Errm, I'm sorry about your loss. I heard your father died. Please accept my condolences"

"It's fine"

"I'm sorry for everything. I know you know the truth about the designs, I'm sorry about it. I didn't want things to get this far that we will be enemies but it happened. I didn't want to betray you but I had no other choice. Please don't blame your brother for any of this, he is not at fault, it was all me. I forced him to take part in my plan"

"Why did you do this? Why did you have to drag him into this? I trusted you as a friend heck I even thought of you as my best friend. Why did you have to betray me like that, if you had a problem you could have just told me instead of stealing it. Why?" She bent her head in shame as she started crying

"My mum has cancer and I have two younger siblings I'm training alone. My father left us and ran away with another woman when I was young and my brothers merely knew anything and my mum has been the one training us till I graduated and got a job until she fell ill last year. When the doctor diagnosed the sickness as cancer it broke my heart to pieces but the doctor said cancer had not spread too far and chemotherapy would help. There was hope when he said that but the problem was the money for chemo it was a ridiculous amount of money. I wanted to ask the boss for an advance but I did not know how long I would work before I would be able to pay everything back so I decided not to. Daniel Caesare came to meet me one day when I went out for lunch, he brought an envelope and everything in it contained information about me. I was shocked. He said he had been following me and he knew my mother had cancer and I needed the money badly. He told me he would pay for the surgery if I could find out if Constantine has a new design on the way and if I could get the samples. I told him I would think of it and give him feedback so he gave me his business card"

She cleaned her eyes and continued.

"The offer was tempting and I never knew he was going to claim the designs as his own. I called him and accepted the offer. I started following you because I knew how close you are to me. The day Constantine introduced you to the stylist I followed both of you and I also heard him say let's keep it a secret and then he gave you something to take home, that's how I knew it was the design. I wanted to follow you home that day but I knew you would suspect me so I asked your brother instead. I met your brother at a party and we hit it off from there and at some point, we started dating. I didn't know you were his sister when we started dating until he showed me a picture of both of you. When I got this job, it just made things easier. When I begged him to take the designs he refused saying he couldn't do that to you. I told him if my mother died, her blood would be on his hands. Emotional blackmail was the only thing I could think of that day, I was really desperate to save my mum. He walked out on me for the first time since we started dating and I knew I crossed a line but I couldn't care less" she was sobbing heavily now

"He called me two days later and asked we meet, we went to a place and he brought the designs and gave me. I was so happy and he said 'you've gotten what you wanted I hope you are happy now, I never want to see you again" she took my hands but I removed my hands.

"I'm very sorry, I know no amount of sorry would take back the pain I've caused you. I can't keep living normal knowing I caused you pain. Please forgive me" she knelt down

"I forgive you, Samantha. Please stand up" she looked surprised

"Thank you so much, Eulalia, thank you. I would be on my way now I have to pack my things. I'm relocating"

"Good luck"
