Chapter 2;

The next morning when Nicole woke up, she saw Samuel Green lying next to her.

The red stain on the pristine sheet looked extremely eye catching. It described what had happened the night before.

Before Nicole could comprehend the situation, there was a knock on the door followed by a group of reporters that blocked the exit. They could not wait to publish the news of Samuel Green having spent the night with a mysterious woman.

The Green family were the most distinguished family in this city. Evidently, they had a literary reputation and were an aristocratic family.

Old master Green was an old fashioned man.

Samuel Green was immediately woken up by the noise from the group of reporters. Before the hotel workers could do anything, the reporters had gone into the hotel and started taking intimate photos of Samuel Green and Nicole.

It was so shocking to Samuel when he saw all that was going on, yet turning to his left, he recognized Nicole from the Bush family.

The Green and Bush family were good friend and because of that, he knew Nicole from childhood.

Although Nicole knew he was in love with Riley George, how could she have slept with him behind Riley’s back.

Nicole too was shocked, how could the person she had a one night stand with turned out to be Samuel Green, her childhood friend?

Yes, he was the person she had loved since from childhood because he was always there for her, but when saw that he would not reciprocate back his feelings to her and only considered his self as her big brother, she hid her feelings from him.

But now, what a mess!

“Samuel, I can explain. I….” Nicole tried to talk but Samuel pushed her away from the bed and he ended up landing on the cold ground.

Even though the reporters were still present there, they continued to take photos and videos as the drama unfolded between Samuel and Nicole.

“I always considered you to be my younger sister Nicole, how could you betray my trust and took advantage of my helplessness knowing I was drunk? You could have done any other thing to me, yet you slept with me. How despicable and shameless of you. For what you have done, you are my enemy from now on.” Samuel was boiling with rage as he yelled at her.

His cold attitude made the reporters to pause as they found sense something was not right.

Wait, wasn’t this lady the childhood friend of Samuel and the daughter of the Bush family?

What a coincidence that they were pretending to be best friends in public, but was having intimate behind everyone’s back.

“Wow, this is what we call friends with benefits. Who would have thought that Samuel from the respected Green’s family will be sleeping with Nicole!” One of the reporter said laughing. This act of her made Samuel when more angry and felt like strangling Nicole.

“No it’s not like that. I can explain. It’s a mistake from the start, I….” Nicole was shut immediately.

“Keep your stories to yourself Nicole. You pretend to be pure, yet so dirty minded inside. I can’t believe she is the same lady her father use to praise in public. Mr. Bush will be so disappointed at you. Hump! You are nothing but a shameless country side bumpkin.” Another reporter said.

“Since Samuel Green is from a wealthy family, which lady would not want to lay in his bed? Nicole is no exception, moreover she is pretty and could live a luxurious life with Samuel.”

“Such a shameless act of her.”

The reporters continued criticizing them. When it became obvious that they planned not to leave, Samuel put on his clothes and struggled out of the hotel room.

The reporters left Nicole and rushed after him.

“How do you feel now that you have slept with your best friend Nicole?” The reporters threw questions as they rushed after Samuel.

“I thought you are dating Riley George, she must be so disappointed at you. She trusted you, but you broke her trust!” Another reporter said.

“Keep shut and get lost!” Samuel shouted as he went into his car and drove away.

Meanwhile, Nicole quickly put on her clothes and rushed out. At that time, everyone was focused on Samuel and did not notice when she left.

Only when she had gotten out of the hotel did she relax a bit. Now that the reporters had the evidence against her and Samuel, how would she clarify herself at home now?

“I wonder what dad must be thinking of me now!” She cursed, rubbing her head as she scampered home.

What transpired between her and Samuel was like a dream to Nicole. However, it was not a good dream.

Nicole was scared, nevertheless Nicole gathered up the courage to call Samuel.

“ let me clarify things to him, only he can understand me.” Nicole was saying as she dialed Samuel’s number:

Without a surprise, her call got declined. This, she could only timidly send a text over to tell him that she had something to say and was hoping they could meet to discuss it.

When her call continue to be declined by Samuel, Nicole could only hurry back home. Hopefully, her family will believe her if no one else does.
