Samara arrives home at 8:00 pm
Samara arrives home after a long day, feeling tired but excited to relax. As she enters the house, she is surprised to see her parents waiting for her with serious expressions on their faces.
Curiosity piqued, Samara asks what's going on. That's when her parents reveal that a marriage proposal is on its way for her. They explain that they believe it would be a great opportunity for her future, bringing stability and security.
However, Samara takes a deep breath and musters up the courage to share her truth. She tells her parents that she already has a boyfriend, someone she deeply cares about. She explains that she wants to pursue her own path and build a life with the person she loves.
Her parents listen attentively, their expressions softening. They understand the importance of love and happiness in Samara's life, but they also express their concerns about the future.
So, Samara's parents beg her to just see the person they arranged the proposal with, and when they finally arrive, it turns out to be none other than Hardin, the same person she had the intense meeting with earlier.
As Samara and Hardin lock eyes, a mixture of surprise and disbelief washes over them. They exchange a death stare, their previous clash of opinions still fresh in their minds. It's an unexpected and awkward moment for both of them.
However, despite the tension, Samara's parents are overjoyed. They see this as a sign, a twist of fate bringing these two strong-willed individuals together. They believe that their connection could lead to a bright future, filled with growth and success.
Samara and Hardin exchange a glance, silently acknowledging the irony of the situation. They may have been on opposite sides in the meeting, but now, they find themselves facing a new challenge - navigating their personal and professional lives intertwining.
Samara is deep in thought about her boyfriend while her family and Hardin's family discuss the business aspect of their potential union.
As the conversation about merging their families for business purposes unfolds, Samara's mind starts to wander. She finds herself lost in thoughts about her boyfriend, unable to shake off the feeling that her heart belongs elsewhere.
While her family and Hardin's family discuss the benefits of the union and the potential for a strong business partnership, Samara's mind is filled with memories of her time with her boyfriend. She recalls the laughter they shared, the adventures they embarked on, and the deep connection they have.
In her heart, Samara knows that she doesn't want to sacrifice her love and happiness for the sake of business. She wants to follow her own path, guided by her own desires and dreams.
Amidst the serious business talk, Samara's gaze drifts towards her boyfriend's photo on her phone, a gentle smile forming on her lips. She knows that her happiness lies with him, and she's determined to stay true to her heart.
In this moment, Samara realizes that she must gather the courage to express her true feelings, both to her family . It won't be easy, but she's determined to follow her own path and create a future that aligns with her heart's desires
As Samara intentionally spills juice on her gown, she quickly rushes to the washroom, hoping for a moment alone to collect her thoughts. Little did she know that her parents would ask Hardin to help her clean up the mess.
Hardin reluctantly follows Samara to the washroom, his frustration evident on his face. He wastes no time in letting her know where he stands. "I have a girlfriend, Samara. I have no interest in you," he says, his words dripping with coldness.
Samara, not one to back down, meets his icy gaze with a fiery determination. "Well, guess what? I have a boyfriend too!" she retorts, her voice filled with defiance. The room is charged with tension as their egos clash.
Their words hang in the air, each refusing to back down. The power struggle between them intensifies, their pride fueling the fire of their disagreement. It becomes clear that neither of them is willing to take a step back and admit their true feelings.
Samara, feeling a mix of anger and confusion, finally breaks the silence. "You know what, Hardin? Either reject me outright or figure out what you want, because I don't know what to do anymore," she says, her voice trembling with a mix of frustration and vulnerability.
With those words, Samara storms out of the washroom, leaving Hardin to grapple with his own conflicting emotions. It's a scene filled with ego and uncertainty, as both Samara and Hardin struggle to navigate their complex feelings and the pride that stands in their way.
Later while they were having dinner. They were reminiscing about happy childhood memories, and then Hardin whispers something to Samara, asking her to tell the truth. But then, later at the dining table, all hell breaks loose. Sam spills the fact that your son is taken, and she can't marry him. Hardin's eyes fill with anger as he looks at her, and his parents disagree, saying they asked him, but he denied being taken. Hardin stands his ground and denies the fact, reminding everyone that you told him in the washroom that you're taken. He boldly stands up and declares, "I can't marry someone where I have no respect." Despite her parents attempts to calm him down, he leaves the room, giving Samara a smirk and a wink.
