Serendipity - A Chance Encounter 192 Bad Dreams

Liam closed the door behind him and as soon as the two of them were left alone in the room, Daniel pulled her close and pressed her body to him. Samantha yelped in surprise but soon, her lips were covered by his.

She initially resisted as she didn't expect his actions. However, Daniel's strong arms kept her still and she melted in his embrace. 'What is with this man? He is so irresistible!' She thought.

She closed her eyes and hooked her arms around his neck. They continued to kiss pa.s.sionately until both of them were breathless.

Breaking the kiss, Daniel slightly pulled back, their nose touching. "I missed you."

Samantha chuckled, "But you just saw me this morning."

"Yeah, and it has been hours already, so I missed you."

"You are so clingy, Mr. Cho."

He lowered his head and rested it on her shoulder. The truth was, he had been having nightmares since that first night that he had one. It was mostly the same scene and he can vividly remember how his dream went.

Just like the very first night, they were at the beach. Daniel can see how happy Samantha was as she smiled so brightly at him. Her auburn hair flowed with the direction of the wind and her eyes twinkled as if they were stars. Her laugh was melodious and her voice made Daniel's heart flutter like the feathers of a pure white dove.

Though unlike the first night, Daniel wasn't smiling with her. It was as if his unconscious state was already aware of what was going to happen next. Still, his body wasn't acting like how he wanted them to as he only stood there and looked at the beautiful figure of his woman whom he was so madly in love with.

Samantha stood in front of him, "I love you, Daniel." She spoke and reached her hand out.

Daniel raised his, ready to receive hers but even before their hands touched, her body swayed and she fell.

She fell on the sand and the instant that she did, everything around them turned b.l.o.o.d.y red.

"Sam!" He screamed and ran to her lifeless body. He was about to touch her when he noticed his own hands. They were stained with blood.

Daniel woke up to that petrifying scene. Why was he dreaming like that almost every night? Was his subconscious mind telling him something? What did that mean?

"Honey… are you okay?" Samantha asked as she brushed his hair with her fingers. "You seem to be sleeping less lately… are you still having bad dreams?"

Hearing her question, Daniel didn't want to show her his worries. He lifted up the corners of his mouth before he faced her. "Don't worry. I'm just a bit tired from all the work." He kissed the tip of her nose. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?

"Daniel, if you keep feeding me... "

"I will still want you even if you gained weight." He interrupted.

Samantha leaned her head back as she laughed. "You are so sweet. But that's not what I was about to say."

"I was gonna say that if you keep feeding me, I will never say no."

The two of them smiled at each other and kissed once more. "Let's go. I have actually prepared something for tonight."

Leaving the Cho Corporation's building, the couple rode in Daniel's Maybach and drove towards the Pier. As they were chatting inside the car, they didn't realize that a black sedan was tailing them several meters behind. The sedan had been following them ever since they have left the underground parking lot of the building.

When they have reached the docks, Samantha had a confused expression. "What are we doing here? I thought you were taking me out for dinner?"

Daniel parked the car and unfastened his seatbelt while he looked at Samantha. "Yes, we are. On a Yacht." He announced before getting off the car and walking around it to get Samantha's door.

"What?" She uttered.

When he got to her side, he opened the door and helped her out. "Are we celebrating something? Why a yacht?" She asked as she placed her hand in his.

"There's nothing special, Samantha. Can't I take my fiancée out for dinner on a yacht just because?"

"... Just… because?"

"Yes. Now come on, we can still catch the sunset."

Daniel brought her towards a large yacht, it had the name "Christina" written on the side.

Samantha tilted her head when she read it and then looked at Daniel. 'Christina… isn't it the name of Daniel's mother?'

When they were nearing, he gestured to her.

"Wait here." He said before he walked towards a small office and entered it.

He didn't take too long and when he came back out, he was already carrying a bag and a cooler.

They boarded the yacht along with a helmsman who was going to drive it.

Daniel led Samantha up to the deck and watched as the yacht drifted away from the docks and onto the sea.

From a car that was parked on the docks, there were two men inside. Their car was the black sedan that was following Daniel and Samantha earlier.

The man on the pa.s.senger's seat had a camera on his hand with a long-range lens.

"If they go too far, I won't be able to take any decent pictures even with this lens." He stated.

"Just keep taking pictures. No matter what they do in there anyway, it wouldn't matter. When people will see these, their imagination will run wild. No need for us to do anything else."

"Do you really think that people will care about a relations.h.i.+p like this?"

"You don't know how people's mind work. As long as they see it on the news, most of them will just believe whatever they read."

The paparazzi kept clicking and taking pictures until the yacht was out of sight. "I wonder who Boss is working for."

"Why are you asking that?"

"It's just weird that he's paying so much attention to these two, but in the end, he's also just taking orders."

The other man glared at him and remarked, "Just shut up and do your job. We are not to question orders."
