"SIL!" Someone called and Samantha and Noah turned to the voice and saw Martin starting at them both!


    "Umm... Hello." Martin said.


    "Hey... What is SIL?" Samantha asked.


    "It''s Sister-inw... Can I call you that?" Martin asked and Samantha looked at Noah and then to Martin.


    "Yes, you can." Samantha said with a small smile and Martin smiled.


    "Aunt Lucy wants you both inside." Martin said and Samantha nodded and they all walked inside.


    "Is there any problem?" Liam asked.


    "No, Dad. Nothing serious." Samantha said and Noah nodded with a smile.


    "Noah, I guess you them all?" Liam asked and Noah nodded.


    "Yes, Uncle Liam. But I will introduce myself again." Noah said with a small smile and Liam nodded.


    "Hello. I''m Noah Carleton. CEO of Caffeine by Amaxi Hotels and like a Brother to Sam and Lexi." Noah said as he wrapped his arm around Samantha and she smiled.


    "And like a son to us. Which we never had!" Cassandra said and Noah nodded and walked to Cassandra and hugged her.


    "Yes, Mom." Noah said and Cassandra smiled.


    "What the hell?" Some yelled and everyone turned around and saw Alexi in her workout clothes on the doorstep, who is ragging in anger and walked inside.


    "What they all doing here, Dad?" Alexi asked angrily.


    "Shut up, Alexi." Cassandra said.


    "I will not! Tell me, what they are doing in our home?" Alexi asked.


    "Alexi, go to your room. We already talked about thisst night." Samantha said.


    "Sam, we..." Samantha cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.


    "Now!" Samantha said with a stern voice and Alexi signed and ambted upstairs not before ring at Johnson!


    "I am sorry about that." Samantha said.


    "It''s okay, Sam. We can understand!" Damon said with a small smile and Samantha nodded.


    Samantha looked at Johnson as she felt his eyes on her and her heart started beating fastly. It''s so strong like her chest will burst, but that heart started beating fastly only for Johnson and his blue eyes sparked looking at her.


    Samantha blinked her eyes at Johnson and he smiled looking at her cuteness and Samantha saw his smile created dimples on his cheeks and she liked them and found them cute.


    "Umm... So?" Liam asked which broke Samantha''s thoughts and blushed a deep red.


    ''Shit... What am I thinking?'' Samantha asked herself.


    "Umm... Excuse me!" Samantha said and Everyone nodded and Samantha ambted upstairs.


    Samantha was going to open Alexi''s bedroom door when she heard someone calling her name!


    "Samantha." Johnson called and she turned around and saw Johnsoning towards her.


    "Ye... Yes. You... Need anything?" Samantha stuttered.


    "Can I talk to you for a few minutes? Please?" Johnson asked and Samantha nodded and they both walked to Samantha''s room.


    "Yes." Samantha said.


    "Why did you agree for marriage with me?" Johnson asked and Samantha looked up at him.


    "Umm..." Samantha stuttered.


    "I mean, why did you agree to marry me?" Johnson asked and Samantha walked to the big ss window.


    "Is... Someone forcing you?" Johnson asked.


    "No, no. No one is forcing me..." Samantha said.


    "Then, why?" Johnson asked.


    "Johnson... I have trust issues. I don''t trust anyone easily until I got to know about them and I don''t movefortably with people. Because I have my own reason. But, I feel sofortable with you in a very little time and somehow, I started trusting you" Samantha said and looked out of the window.


    "But, I still feel scared to trust someone. And I need time to trust you totally. Because you see things happened in our lives for which we don''t trust people easily and that is the reason Alexi is rude with you. I have... My own past... But, if you want them to know as my...


    Soon to be husband... Then, I will tell you everything." Samantha said and Johnson walked close towards her but Samantha still looking outside the ss window.


    "The main reason, I want to marry you because of my parent''s happiness. Please don''t think, I am marrying because of them. No, that''s not right! You see, I am scared of rtionships and fear that they may break at any time and I don''t want such rtionships." Samantha said and suddenly turned back and bumped into Johnson''s chest.


    "Ahh!" Samantha said and before she falls down Johnson wrapped his hand around her waist and bought her close to his chest and tucked her hairs behind her ear which is all over her face.


    Johnson just couldn''t stop staring at her beautiful eyes and her innocent eyes telling him to look into them deeply. They are deep, earthy. There is something else in them, something like a spark and which held so many secrets.


    "You are beautiful." Johnson said and Samantha released herself from him and looked away.


    "I... I''m sorry." Samantha said.


    "Hey, it''s okay. It''s... My mistake." Johnson said and Samantha gave a small smile.


    "I hope you are not angry with me?" Johnson asked and Samantha frowned.


    "Angry, why?" Samantha asked.


    "Umm... I called you yesterday after I got to know that you epted the proposal but you didn''t answer the call... I thought, maybe you are angry with me for bringing the proposal." Johnson replied.


    "Ohhh... Did you call me?" Samantha asked and grabbed her phone from the coffee table and saw it''s dead.


    "Oh... It''s dead. So sorry I didn''t check my phone." Samantha said.


    "Oh... Okay. So, you are not angry, right?" Johnson asked.


    "No." Samantha said with a smile and Johnson smiled brightly too.


    "Umm... I''m sorry, I didn''t ask you that do you want to marry me or not?" Samantha asked and Johnson frowned.


    "Umm... I mean, you okay marrying me or you have anyone..." Johnson cut off Samantha in mid-sentence.


    "Yes. I want to marry you." Johnson said and Samantha blinked her eyes at his straightforwardness but nodded her head with a small smile but her heart beating fastly when Johnson said he wants to marry her! She felt happy for a second but as soon as her past hit her brain she looked at Johnson.


    ''You will leave me... After knowing my past.'' Samantha said to herself in her heart and blinked away her tears which were ready to fall down from her eyes!
