Isn't it always true of betrayal; brands the heart, solidifies its walls? Samara never had a reason to wonder at this. Her own walls were always literal, built by family and circumstance, they didn't fail at rendering her unfathomably naive at the age of 22. Forever kept away, it seemed. Be it by those she loved or herself, but somehow forgotten. So, it should come as a shock that on this particular day, in a specific order of chance and anomaly, Samara was seen. By her boss, of all people. And, though today seemed to be a stand alone occasion--a one-day-only type scene by which such a strange observation could've been made on her part, Charles Jones had found himself incapable of losing sight of and marveling at his endearing assistant everyday of the subsequent year. The difference? Today, this is a fact which he has come to fancy.

"If this is how you want to handle the situation, then leave me out of it! Leave me out of your business, leave me out of your plans, and leave me out of your life!" After screaming her final word with a deathly glare, Sam stormed out, so angry, so irritated and frustrated, nothing else mattered as she marched down the hallway and headed to the elevator. Leaving this place was the only thing on her mind. This is a continuation of my previous works, A Fairytale for a Night and Beach Raiders. Notes after some chapters to highlight hidden references. All characters are from the Webtoon Let's Play by Mongie, which I do not own. Check it out for its nerdy references, awesome story, and Bowser the dog!
