That was directed at Samantha, and Samanthaâs face turned green, red, purple, white, and even more colors in the span of moments.
Ezekiel scanned Samantha coldly. Then, he said adamantly, âDonât worry. Youâre the only one I love.
No one can steal you away from me.â
Samantha noticed that icy glance, and she inhaled sharply. Ezekiel was not like what she imagined at all. What kind of man is he?
âGood,â said Harmony happily. Thereâs no need to humiliate Samantha anymore. This is more than enough humiliation for her. Samantha tried to leave as gracefully as she could. âI-Iâll leave you two to it.â
âIâll send my friend off,â said Harmony.
âSure. Come back to me later.â Ezekiel nodded and let her leave. Harmony approached Samantha. âIâll send you off, Samantha.â
Samantha knew that wasnât just the thing Harmony wanted to do. She had no choice but to leave Ezekiel. Once they were out of his earshot, she turned around. âYou arenât just sending me off. Are you, Harmony?â
âAnd you didnât come to the gym this early just to work out, did you?â Harmony retorted, exposing Samanthaâs plan.
Samantha smiled. âSo, you do know what I was going for.
Harmony didnât look happy at all. Instead, she replied coldly, âI was happy to see an old friend, but after everything you did⦠I know youâre not the old Samantha I knew.â
âNo oneâs the same anymore. Youâre different as well. Youâve learned how to be shrewd. Plus, you hooked up with a rich guy. Why? Donât want to share your good fortune with your friends?â said Samantha, treating Ezekiel like some sort of exquisite merchandise to be shared.
Harmony became angry as she sneered, âDo not insult my boyfriend, Samantha. He is not for sharing.
He is mine alone.â
Samantha curled her lips into a nonchalant smirk. âYouâre too naive, Harmony. In all these years in this industry, Iâve never seen any rich guy staying loyal to one woman. Dream on. Weâre friends, right? If he dumps you one day, you can hook us up. If I get any good guys, Iâll hook you up with them too.â
Harmony looked at Samantha. âIâm only saying this as your friend, Samantha. You shouldnât be so promiscuous. If you catch any diseases down the line, youâll suffer. Being someoneâs plaything isnât a badge of honor.â
Samanthaâs temper flared. âDonât you take that tone with me, Harmony. Youâre not that noble yourself.
Iâll be waiting for the day you get kicked to the curb, just like what Reuben did to you.
Harmony heaved a sigh, restraining her anger. âNo. God kicked that jerk away from my life and let me meet the man I truly like.â
Samantha scoffed at that notion. âDonât make it sound like divine providence. We all know Reuben dumped you.â
Harmony arched her eyebrow as she refuted, âSo? I donât care. But if you try to steal my boyfriend away, Iâll drag you down even if itâs the last thing I do.â
âWhy youâ¦â
âAnd if you tell the media about my whereabouts again, I will sue you,â warned Harmony. Samantha harrumphed. âAnd how do you know I did it?â
âI just do.â Harmony whirled and flounced off.
Samantha stomped her foot angrily. She had lost her chance, and the money would never be hers now.
She had no idea why Ezekiel was so hard to seduce.
When Harmony returned, Ezekiel was waiting for her. Then, he wasted no time helping her train. A while later, a film of sweat was covering Harmonyâs skin.
Ezekiel felt himself heating up at the sight. He wrapped an arm around her as he murmured, âLetâs get back to our room and take a shower.â
