~~~~~~~~~~~~~Oliver~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Claire left, I was left in my room wondering if I was really wrong about everything. I tried to remember everything that happened in last few months. I had the most wonderful time of my life with Sam, and then everything just changed all of a sudden. I was so exhausted with all this brain storming that my head could explode any moment. Just then I felt a hand on my head. I turned around and saw mom standing beside me looking a little worried.

Trying hard to sound as normal as I could I said, "Hey Mum!"

"Good morning son, are you alright?" She asked combing my hair back with her fingers.

"Y... Yes mom, why do you ask?"

"Because in past seven years, you have never been late for work, and today it's almost half past noon and you are still sitring here by yourself. What is the matter son? Is it about that girl? What was her name.... Oh yes, Samantha!" I could hear hatred for Sam in my mom's voice. It was not the right time to tell her the truth.

"No mom, everything is fine. I just came here to see Claire and then thought I would just grab few things from my room and then go back", I lied.

She looked around the room, as if cross checking my words and actions and said, "Hmmm, alright. I just came to remind you that it has been more than two months and you have not yet spoken about your promise".

"Promise?", I was confused.

"Yes, we had a deal, remember, that Samantha will have to pass my test to get my approval. I hope my son is not thinking about betraying me by breaking the deal".

In all the drama that had happened, I completely forgot about this deal with mom. "Mom, I don't think Sam is ready for the test right now", I said hesitating.

"Why not? Is she scared of failing?"

"No. She .... She needs more time".

"You have already taken a month extra. Give me a sold reason, or else forget about her and marry Julianne".

"I don't want to marry Julianne mom", It was frustrating, arguing with my mom.

"Why not? Tell me one reason, one valid reason", she demanded.

I didn't have a reason. I kept quiet. But then someone from behind us gave the answer, "I have one solid reason, why Oliver should not marry me, Aunt Rose".

"Julianne, darling what are you saying. You don't need to help my naive son in this", mom said putting her arms around Julianne's shoulders.

I looked at her, she looked pale, sickly. Her eyes were puffed up and blood red. "Julianne, what happened to you?" I asked out of concern.

"I am sorry Oliver, I.... ruined your relationship. Sam... Er... Actually...", she was out of words, stammering at each word.

"What are you saying Julianne?" Mom spat at her in anger.

"Aunt Rose, I am sorry. Please don't hate me. But I need to confess something. I.. I never loved Oliver. Infact I am in love with Ben, Sam's friend. I was after Oliver's money."

"What the hell is wrong with you Julie? You were after my son's money. Is this some kind of a joke? I mean, you are the only daughter of your parents. The only heir of Tucker empire", Mom screamed.

"Tucker's Industry is actually in debt. The things that Ben told you about the financial discrepancy in the financial statements were true. My dad was using me to get hold of your financials", she said in a low tone. My mom went speechless hearing this.

"And what about Sam? Why did you say that you were sorry for ruining my relationship?" I asked.

"Sam never stole those designs. I gave Justin money to do that. He got her login credentials by tricking Christine", she said and I just couldn't take all this anymore and before I could think rationally my hand hit her face hard and she fell in the arms of my mom.

"Oliver, control yourself son", Mom said holding Julianne back up.

I immediately grabbed my car keys and was about to leave, but Julianne held my hand and said, "there is a lot more to the story Oliver which I think you should know before facing Sam".

"Shoot", I screamed at her face.

And then she told me how she and her evil dad planned everything and how she tried creating misunderstandings between me and Sam at every step. And that Ben was in the hospital because of her. I couldn't believe how wrong I was about everything and everyone. I hated Ben for no reason. I never trusted Sam. I couldn't hate myself more than I did at that moment.

Mom was all silent during all this. Probably, she was having a similar realisation too.

"I am going at the hospital, do you want to come?" I asked Julianne and she nodded.

******************

I couldn't think straight the whole time during my way to the hospital. I gave so much pain to Sam, it was hard to even think about it. How could I be such a jerk. I was still not sure what I would be telling Sam.

We reached the waiting area where three unknown people were seated. I looked around but could not find Sam. "Where is she?" I asked Julianne.

"Er... I am not sure. I think she might be..", and her words remained unfinished as I saw Sam coming towards us. She was talking to one of the nurses and was completely unaware of my presence.

"Yes, Miss Ryan, now his condition is absolutely stable. If you want you can take some rest now. We'll inform you as soon as Mr. Turner will regain conciousness", the nurse told Sam.

"Thanks a lot, but I'll just stay here", she said after which the nurse left.

I was eagerly waiting for her to see me and as soon as she turned around her eyes met mine. She gave a brief notice to me before turning her gaze towards Julianne and said, "Julianne, doctors are saying Ben is fine now. Oh and yes, some people from the police department are waiting to take your statement. They are near the reception", she said.

"Oh alright, I'll go then. Excuse me", Julianne said before leaving the two of us alone.

I was glad that she left. Now I could talk to Sam and apologize for what I did. I opened my mouth to speak but just then she walked pass me and sat down next to a young lady who was busy reading the latest edition of Vogue magazine.

I came around and sat on the couch next to Sam. "Sam, I am sorry. I know you are mad at me right now, because of my stupidity, but please let me explain things to you".

She turned around and looking straight into my eyes she said, "alright, explain!"

I was not expecting such a calmer response from her and that made me dumbstruck for a moment. "I... I .. what I wanted to say is that I am really sorry for hurting you. It was all my fault. I should have trusted you instead of listening to others. I don't know. I was so confused and tensed. And everything happened so suddenly. I am really sorry Sam. Please forgive me", I said looking into her eyes.

"I forgive you Oliver for not trusting me and hurting me", she said in even calmer voice.

And a bright smile appeared on my dull face. I moved forward to higher and said, "thank you so much sweetheart, I am so...", but before my arms could reach her she stopped me and moved few inches backwards closer to the lady sitting next to her.

"I said I forgive you. But I didn't say that I forgot everything. I forgive you for what you did, but I can never forget what happened", she said in a firm voice.

"Sam, what do you mean?" I asked in confusion.

"I mean, it is alright Mr. Taylor. I understand that you couldn't trust your employee and based on the false evidence you got, you fired me. I am glad that you know the truth now. But that doesn't mean that I am ready to work for you once again. I have no interest in you whatsoever. And at the moment I am already very tensed, my best friend is lying on that hospital bed because of me. And I am finding no fun in having a conversation with my ex boss at this very moment. So if you could please excuse me", she said and stood up to leave.

I could feel my heart stop at that moment. I grabbed her wrist stopping her and said, "Sam, what are you saying. Please don't talk to me like this. I am Oliver, your Oliver".

She pulled her wrist out of my wrist and without speaking anything turned around and started walking in opposite direction. I ran behind her. "Sam, Sam please. Please listen to me",I kept begging running behind her as she kept ignoring me.

"Sam please... I am sorry!", I said again as I saw her cross another corridor.

She was about to enter an elevator when I grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her towards me and entered the room next to us.

She tried to speak, while I just shushed her by covering her mouth with my hand and stopped her movement by shadowing over her crushing her against the wall.

"Sam, please listen to me. I am really sorry sweetheart. I love you so much. I know what I did hurt you so much. And I am sorry. Really really sorry Sam. I don't know why I get so angry all of a sudden. I know I have anger issues and things affect me especially when it is related to you. I am so scared to lose you that I can not think straight. But if you'll leave me, I'll lose my mind. I'll die. Please please please forgive me", I said.

I removed my hand from her mouth and she moved her face away from mine. It felt like someone just hit my heart with a hammer and shattered it into pieces.

I turned her face towards me and looking into her eyes said, "Please baby, I know you love me too. Please talk to me Sam."

"You are wrong. I hate you. I hate every little moment I spent with you on the past two and a half years. I hate your name, your face, your touch, your feel, your voice. I hate you Mr. Taylor, so much that I want to kill myself right now", she screamed back at me.

And I moved back immediately. I couldn't believe what she said. She hates me so much. I kept looking at her for a while. She gave me a quick glance before turning towards the door, but I again stopped her by grabbing her hand and stood in front of her. "Sam, I am sorry for making you hate me so much. But if you'll leave me I'll die for sure. Please give me one last chance. Please. I beg of you",I said and sat down on my knees in front of her laying my head low.

I expected her to forgive me. Listen to me. Love me. But to my dismay, she left me there, and walked out of the room without saying anything and I fell on the ground crying on agony.
