Chapter 321: Fate!
"Stop, Samantha." Cassandra said making Samantha look at Cassandra.
"Mom... Don't worry... You know about Alexi... Please don't mind her!" Samantha said and Cassandra shook her head.
"No... I want to know what I did that my daughter is telling me that I am forcing you both for marriage!" Cassandra replied making Samantha and Alexi sigh.
"Mom... You did nothing. Please, let it go..." Cassandra again cut off Samantha in mid-sentence.
"I can't let it go, Samantha." Cassandra replied making Liam sigh.
"Cassandra, let's go inside and talk... Not in front of kids." Liam said making Cassandra shake her head in no.
"No, Liam..." Liam cut off Cassandra in mid-sentence.
"Let's go..." Liam said as he grabbed Cassandra's hand and walked inside their bedroom.
"Liam..." Cassandra said but Liam closed their bedroom door.
Samantha sighed as she looked at Alexi.
"I did nothing, Sis..." Alexi said.
"Really?" Samantha asked.
"Yes... I don't know why mom is talking about my marriage... I just 23 for god's sake!" Alexi answered.
"Alexi... She is our Mom... You need to understand her and let it go... For now! I know you are just 23 but try to understand that it's hard fir her too... She just wants us to settle down...
As you are already in a relationship with Martin... She is a little happy about it and doesn't want your relationship to fail in any way..." Samantha tried to tell her.
"But.. I am trying, Sam... I am trying. Can't she see it? Why should I get married as soon as I get into a relationship? I didn't tell anyone until now that I am still in doubt about this relationship... Because...
I am still kit sure about us. I don't at all... Understand about relationships... I am trying my best though. I want it to work out too... But as you see, Martin was a playboy...
Many don't believe in him and that makes me scared..." Alexi replied making Samantha sigh.
"Lexi you shouldn't think like that... Everything will fall in place in time... You just need to let it go as it is... Just take me and Johnson as an example... He didn't propose to me at all... And directly came to our home with a proposal...
Because he knows I will not accept him even if he proposes me..." Samantha said.
"If Johnson didn't try to make me fall in love before we get married then I don't know in what place I would be..." Samantha said making Alexi sigh.
"I can understand you so very well, Samantha. But as I said always Johnson and Martin are so different from each other... And I and you are different from each other!" Alexi replied making Samantha sigh.
"Mumma... I am hungry..." Anna said as she clutched Samantha's dress. Samantha looked down at Anna and took her in her arms.
"Yes, Love." Samantha replied and took Anna to the dining room.
Alexi sighed as she saw Samantha and Anna walked away from her. She sat down on the couch back with a heavy breath.
MEANWHILE.
"Liam, leave me..." Cassandra said as she and Liam walked inside their bedroom. Liam closed the door and leaned her against the wall.
"Oouch..." Cassandra said as Liam held her against the wall and moved close to her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Cassandra asked.
"Why did you take that topic out?" Liam asked.
"Leave me please." Cassandra replied.
"First... Tell me why did you even take out the topic?" Liam asked.
"Liam, you very well know about that!" Cassandra answered.
"You do know that Alexi is just 23 right?" Liam asked.
"So what?" Cassandra asked.
"So what?" Liam asked and Cassandra nodded her head.
"So what, Liam? Don't you want your daughter to settle down in her life with her loved one?" Cassandra asked.
"Cassandra, shut up... I want to settle down too but not right now... Not with Martin... Not so soon with him!" Martin answered.
"What is wrong with Martin?" Cassandra asked.
"You know that he was a playboy?" Liam asked.
"But he changed himself for your daughter!" Cassandra answered.
"You just can't be sure that he changed for Alexi. Are you?" Liam asked with a stern face.
"Liam... Try to understand me..." Liam cut off Cassandra in mid-sentence.
"No... Listen to me, Cassandra. I want my daughter to live happily in their lives and not with some playboy... Alright... If you want ne to believe him through Johnson, I will... But I will not believe Martin...
It has just been a month since he started dating our daughter... He might look good but I just can't give him my daughter to him so soon as I did with Samantha!" Liam replied.
"If I get to know about Samantha before, I would have never given Samantha to anyone else too... Neither Johnson too!" Liam said.
"And now, you would have regretted for not giving your daughter to him because Samantha is in love with Johnson now. Are you understanding it? She is in love with Johnson and no, you can't think of keeping them away from each other even for 1 month... They can't be away for a long time... They are in each other's hearts... Who thought that they will fall in love in just 3 months?
Did you? No right?" Cassandra asked and Liam sighed.
"So try to understand me, Liam... No one knows how a person's faith will be... Yes, Samantha got suffered a lot and we regretted and felt guilty and still feeling guilty but... Johnson is there for her now... He is making her feel good and special for herself. Samantha is flying now, liam." Cassandra said with a tears falling down from her eyes.
"Just think, What Samantha means to Johnson even though there is so little chance to get her to conceive. He didn't care about it... Heck, he didn't even care about her getting molested... He left her every flaw and accepted her opening his arms widely..." Cassandra said and Liam just kept staring at him.
"Our daughter suffered, Liam... I want them to have a beautiful life with their parents and not one like us with all struggles... I want them to be happy with their children... Our daughter is so strong to handle everything in their lives... Stop thinking negatively... Just forget for a few minutes that Martin was a playboy...
Just imagine having Alexi beside him and see how beautiful they both together beside each other." Cassandra said making Liam sigh.
"Cassandra, I wouldn't have regretted it because I know my daughter will be happy, to being with us... Without any worries. I would rather see her in front of my eyes daily than suffering her near someone else..." Liam replied.
"Fine... But whatever is done is done... Samantha and Johnson love each other now... And can do anything for each other no matter what and all this happened in just 3 months. Then, think about how beautiful their life will be if they are together for a lifetime. The same with Alexi and Martin, Liam.
Just trust him blindly like how you did for Johnson. Please... Alexi will be so happy in her life without any worries. Martin will look after them so well... We should try to make them one but not to get away from each other... It's us, who will suffer later seeing her unhappy!" Cassandra said making Liam shake his head in no.
"No, Cassandra... Even though, Alexi wants to marry Martin this soon... I can't give her any permission or my blessings. It's fine... If she marries him without my blessings... I can't do much about it...
But, I can't just accept Martin... Not right now!" Liam replied.
"Then how long time you want to accept Martin, Liam? 6 months? 1 year?" Cassandra asked and Liam shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know... But I really don't feel that Martin is right for Alexi..." Liam answered making Cassandra sigh.
"Alright... If you don't want to change your mindset then I can't do anything... You will only learn things when your daughters again start suffering for the love that they craved from year's." Cassandra replied as she released herself from Liam and opened the door.
"My daughters will not suffer again... I will not let it happen again!" Liam said as Cassandra was about to set out of the bedroom.
"You aren't sure about it... Are you?" Cassandra asked the same question to him making him just stare at her.
"First... Be sure about it... Then tell me... You can't do anything when it's already in their fates to get suffer in their love lives!" Cassandra said and walked away leaving Liam alone in the bedroom.
Liam sat down on the couch sighing.
He closed his eyes as a tear falls down from his eyes which he wiped it off as soon as it falls down.
