Inevitable Passion
Chapter 1
Special Night
*Silas*
Sam and I have been going out on dates for a few weeks now, and each time I grow to love her even more than the last. Danny is finally home from the hospital after making a full recovery, so Sam's schedule has been a little more flexible. Tonight Sam's coming over to my place for dinner and I want to make sure it's special.
I set the table out on the patio, and light some candles. I blow out the match and watch the smoke rise and dissipate. Sam should be here any moment. I walk in to check on the meal and grab a bottle of white wine. Suddenly I hear the doorbell ring. I rush over eagerly and open it to see Sam looking breath taking in a short slimming purple dress.
"You look… Wow." She smiles. "Thanks." Sam walks in and begins to look around. I close the door. "So this is your new place?" she asks. "Yep. It's not much but…" "It's nice." I hear the oven timer go off. I walk over and take out the chicken parmesan. "Ooo that smells amazing" she says. I set the dish on the counter to cool. "While that's cooling, what do you say we go out on the patio for some wine?"
I escort her to the candle lit table and pull out her chair for her. She lets out a small laugh before sitting down. I think she's getting a kick out of me acting somewhat like a gentlemen. I take the bottle of wine and pour some in her glass, then in mine. "Thank you" she says smiling her beautiful smile. I take a seat. "So how's Danny doing?" I ask attempting to make conversation. "He's adjusting back home quite nicely actually. I caught him trying to sneak up the stairs again. I think he's just glad to be out of that hospital room and back to his own." "I always took the kid for the adventurous type." Sam takes a sip of her wine. "So what about you and Kiki?" I think about her question for a second. "We've only talked once since the party. Apparently Morgan and her ended up annulling their marriage." "Oh why? I thought they were good together?"
"Well for one Morgan lied to her about knowing the truth about me being her father, plus he didn't tell her his brother and she weren't related." "Wow. I would never have thought sweet little Morgan Corinthos would be the lying type. Especially to the person he loves." I stare down at the glass of wine sitting in front of me. "Silas? Is there something you're not telling me?" I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "That's not the only reason the marriage ended."
My eyes wander up to see a worried look on Sam's face. "Morgan cheated on Kiki with someone." "Wow. That must be horrible for you. Seeing that she is your daughter. I know you're not that close, but I know you really care about her." I get up out of my seat and walk over to the wall around the patio. I look out to see the harbor in the distance. Sam stands up and walks up behind me. "I wish I could understand what you're going through right now."
"This isn't about me." I clench my fists. "It's about who Morgan cheated on her with." My head drops and my eyes close. Sam puts her hand on my shoulder. "Who?" "It doesn't matter" I say firmly.
"Silas. I know you. And by what I can tell it does matter." There's a pause. "Come on Silas! You can tell me anything!" "Ava Jerome alright!..." I look back at her. "My daughter's husband slept with Ava Jerome."
