Episode 4

Samantha was very angry at that moment, showing off her indignation.

"What do you want, Douglas?" she said, pulling his arm.

Samantha had run out of patience for what she saw in the kitchen, she didn't want or have anything to say to him, especially in the state he was in.

"We don't talk anymore, I just wanted to know if you're okay, you look beautiful and I was impressed with how you acted in there, that was the Samantha I always wanted to see."

Her lips parted and her eyebrows rose, Samantha was incredulous, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, was that how he wanted her, as a condition for them to be together?

She asked herself that question mentally, he could even have assaulted her moments before, but instead of telling her not to, not to hurt himself, what he did was encourage her impulsive attitude.

Samantha opened her mouth to give him an adequate response, but stopped when she heard a female voice coming from the other end of the hallway.

"Is there a problem here?" "asked the woman standing with her arms crossed."

"None, I was just leaving, good night to both of you" said Samantha and walked past the woman, who was already putting on her jacket.

After she left, Douglas' girlfriend kept wanting to know what was going on.

"Are you going to tell me now what you were doing here, together?"

"Don't exaggerate, Cibele, the way you say it makes it sound like we were doing something wrong."

"Isn't that so? She's your ex, Douglas, you disappeared from my side, and I find you here with her, what do you want me to think?" she questioned, her voice full of jealousy.

"Exactly, she's my ex, now you're my girlfriend, Pedro and Ivan had problems, that's all, we're all friends, we're just trying to help and nothing more" he tried to explain as best he could.

He approached her and gave her a kiss - You don't need that, I like you and nobody else - he spoke to her tenderly, calming the beast.

He hugged her and they went out to the garden, where the party was being held, he would have to behave for the rest of the night, although she seemed to have calmed down, he knew she wouldn't let that story be forgotten so quickly.

In the kitchen, Pedro and Ivan continued their argument.

"Did you see the ridiculous scene you made in front of our friends?" Ivan reproached him.

"I caught you almost kissing someone else here in the kitchen and during my birthday party, and you still say it was a scene?" "said Peter, almost crying."

"You're exaggerating, I wasn't almost kissing you, besides, I've already made it clear how I am, you accepted me like that, so don't come complaining now" Ivan said these words and turned to grab the cake-.

"Let's sing happy birthday, this party is over for me, you as always have managed to ruin it."

He went after him, pretending nothing had happened, smiling with the same smile as always, but it was the same fake smile as always, because that was what he did, pretend he was okay and happy.

When Samantha left, she went straight to Pedro's car, she knew where it was, since he had taken her to the party.

Samantha was angry at that moment, after getting in the car, she hit the steering wheel a few times, trying to relieve the rage, the indignation and the desire to punch Douglas and Ivan in the face, they were both assholes and it was no wonder they were so close.

Samantha kept driving wondering, what could be going through Douglas' head to act like that? He betrayed her with Cibeles, because according to what he said in his justification speech, she was the kind of woman he needed by his side, so why was he trying to get close to her again?

Those questions kept hammering in her mind, but she wouldn't have an answer at that moment, so it was better to focus on the traffic, or she might cause an accident, or even run someone over.

She began to concentrate on the traffic and observed a movement of police cars, and an ambulance passing by her, she could only imagine the worst.

In Sabrina's apartment, after Adam had left, Oliver gave the order to take her where they usually went when they were injured.

"Take her away, I'm going to find Adam, he's hurt and couldn't have gone far."

"Oliver, aren't you coming with me?" Sabrina spoke holding her wound.

"Didn't you hear? I have to take advantage of the fact that he's hurt and we have to get out of here, the police won't be long."

He signaled his men to follow his orders and left the apartment, Oliver got out and went out into the street after Adam, as he was injured he couldn't go far.

Oliver searched some alleys and didn't find him, he was very nervous about not finding his rival.

"Shit, lucky bastard, but let's see how far your luck goes" he signaled one of his men, indicating that they should leave there, he could already hear the sirens and that was the sign that his time was up.

Samantha kept driving until near where the vehicles stopped, she turned the corner to take another road, she didn't know what had happened and didn't want to get close to that incident.

She stopped at the traffic light, while waiting for the signal to open, the streets were not busy in that neighborhood, it was already dawning and that was probably the reason for the deserted streets, when the signal was about to open, Samantha found herself in an unusual situation.

Samantha heard a loud noise in the passenger side window, when she looked, she saw a man with a gun and blood on his hands, fear gripped her, to the point of not knowing what to do.
