Samantha Nievez
Gunner Sylvester
Samantha Nievez is a Foreign Language professor at Brenton University-maganda, matalino at higit sa lahat, anak mayaman. Nag-iisang anak ng mag-asawang Nieves na nagmamay-ari ng naglalakihang beach and resorts sa iba't-ibang sulok ng Pilipinas. In fact, sa sobrang yaman ng kaniyang mga magulang ay hindi na niya kailangan pang magtrabaho. But Samantha refuses to rely on her parents' money. Gusto niyang tumayo sa sariling mga paa at may mapatunayan sa sarili.
Although her parents agreed to what she wanted, but only in the condition that she was to marry Ethan Sylvester, the older son of her parents' business partner. Although they've been engaged for more than two years now, still the distance between them was palpable. No progress at all even after their parents set them up many times that she couldn't keep count.
"So last night was no different?" Asked Lexie, one of Samantha's friends since high school and now, her colleague. "You weren't Sylvester's type and he wasn't yours either. Your parents should know that by now."
Samantha just sighed. She had dinner with Ethan last night but all they talked about was school matters. They feel nothing for each other except empathy as two people in the same field and profession. Kahit anong pagkumbinsi ang gawin niya sa mga magulang, nothing seems to work on them. Palaging pinipilit ng mga ito na hindi na siya pabata, that she's already twenty-six and she should be raising a child at this age.
Like seriously? She just turned twenty-six but her parents think she was at the age of menopausal!
"Yeah, right. As if they will listen." she mumbled under her breath and continued attacking the food on the table.
"Why don't you tell them about the rumours?"
Samantha froze at her friend's suggestion. The rumours that Lexie was suggesting was about Ethan fooling around with a student.
