Night of Destiny

Just then, an assistant came into the room and showed Samantha a file. He then handed her a picture. When Samantha saw the man in the picture, she was stunned. “This is your target this time, Ms. Leiderman. His name is Ezekiel Weiss, and he’s the heir to Dansbury’s Weiss Group. All you have to do is sleep with him for a few nights.”

Samantha was filled with ecstasy. She wouldn’t be satisfied with just sleeping with a guy like this for a few nights. She would make him hers and marry him. Then, she would live a life of opulence other than having a handsome husband by her side. “Making men mine is what I do best. I’ll get it done, don’t you worry.”

The assistant held up another picture. “This is Mr. Weiss’ girlfriend. You should know her.”

Samantha picked up the photo. Surprised, she said, “Harmony? She’s his girlfriend?”

“Looks like our intel is right. Are you good friends with Harmony?”

Samantha didn’t expect Ezekiel’s girlfriend to be Harmony. She and Harmony were roommates all through university, and they cared for each other. However, ever since Samantha entered the entertainment industry, her ambition grew. She used all her connections to climb higher, and eventually, she was in a different circle from Harmony. Even though they were in the industry, it had been years since they met.

“We used to be good friends, but I got busy, and we didn’t have the same circle of friends, so we drifted apart. She’s just a nameless actress. How did she get to date Mr. Weiss?” Samantha was shocked. She had just came back from sleeping with another rich guy abroad, so she had no idea what happened back home.

“You wouldn’t feel guilty stealing your best friend’s boyfriend, would you?” the assistant asked.

Samantha was nonchalant. “I’ve betrayed everything for money. I’d steal my own sister’s husband if I had to, let alone my friend’s boyfriend.” And besides, it’s just seducing a guy. I’m better than Harmony at this. I know things she doesn’t, and I have more resources and connections than Harmony. Not to mention, they’re giving me the chance to snag a great man. No way I’ll let this go.

“Then we’re counting on you. Make him yours and hook him up with our boss. Do that, and you make one and a half million.”

“Sure, you can count on me,” said Samantha. She had blocked Harmony’s number before, but it was time to unblock her. When Samantha went back to her car and searched for Harmony’s name, she was shocked. What? She got so many awards? And she had a role in a big production like The End of Times?

There were also pictures of Harmony and Ezekiel on the Internet. Seeing Harmony alone with a man like Ezekiel filled Samantha with jealousy. She’s not worthy of a guy like Ezekiel. “I did everything over all these years to get to where I am, but all you had to do was seduce one man, and you get everything.”

That afternoon, Ezekiel took Harmony to an upscale restaurant. The active night had left Harmony famished. Ezekiel watched as she gobbled everything down, and his eyes were filled with love. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Ezekiel’s phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. “Yes, Mom?”

“I have to go back to your dad. Do you want to come with me?” Ezekiel’s mother asked.

“I’ll stay here for a bit, Mom. You go home first.”

“Sure. I’ll be going to the airport after I take your grandma back. You spend some time with her.”

“I know, Mom.” Ezekiel was reminded of a certain thing he wanted to say, but he held it back. He and Harmony had just started dating. Once they were stable, he would take her to see his family.

Harmony saw him hanging up, and she asked, “Are you leaving?”
