Chapter 37


    Billy helped Josefina to the hotel, straight to Sammuel''s room.


    In the room at that moment, Sammuel, with his big belly, watched the unconscious Josefina with


    great satisfaction. "Billy, you''ve got a real gem here, but it''s a shame she''s out cold. It would''ve


    been so much better if she were awake."


    Billy, eager to please, chuckled, "Sammuel, my gal''s got too much fire in her. I was worried she''d kill


    your vibe."


    "I love ''em fiery. There''s nothing like taming a wild one."


    Billyid Josefina on the bed. "Sammuel, about our deal..."


    "Don''t sweat it, it''s all signed. My secretary will hand it to youter."


    Billy was over the moon. "Sammuel, I''ll get out of your hair then. Don''t want to cramp your style."


    Not long after Billy left, Sammuel approached Josefina. But before he could make a move, a


    scream cut through the air. Josefina nailed Sammuel in the gut with a kick, leaving him howling in


    pain.


    "How could you hit me! You think I won''t have the Antonio family bankrupt in a heartbeat?"


    Josefina towered over him, "Oh, really? Well, I''m all eyes. Billy sent me to beat the lights out of you.


    Said he''s been itching to take you down for ages."


    Sammuel was steaming. He''d been yed by Billy, big time.


    "And Billy called you a dimwit," Josefina continued, "Said once he got the contract, he''d kick you to


    the curb."


    Sammuel was livid. And the aftermath was gonna be brutal.


    Sammuel''s rage made Josefina''s day. She dusted off her hands and left the mess behind.


    As for Billy, he was chilling at a nearby café with Lauren and Ruby, waiting for Josefina to emerge


    from the hotel in shambles. Instead, they saw Josefina stride out unscathed, hopping on a bike and


    taking off.


    Ruby was bewildered. "Dad, she''s fine!"


    Lauren was incredulous. "Sammuel was that quick? Way too quick."


    Billy''s brow furrowed. Something was off. He reached for his phone to call Sammuel. Before he


    could dial, Sammuel''s call came in. "Billy, you son of a gun, you set me up. You''re dead meat!"


    Before Billy could say a word, Sammuel hung up and blocked him.


    Then came the secretary''s call. "Mr. Antonio, we''re in deep trouble. Sammuel''s pulled the plug on


    the deal. Thepany''s going under."


    Billy''s heart sank. He couldn''t fathom how Sammuel couldn''t handle Josefina. What on earth did


    she say or do?


    Lauren was fuming, cursing Josefina non-stop, while Ruby kept her head down, scared stiff Billy


    might send her out to hit the streets.


    Billy tried calling Josefina in anger, but couldn''t get through.


    ...


    The Antonio family couldn''t find Josefina, and she was living it up. She didn''t sue Billy. It was


    payback for thest shred of gratitude she owed. If the Antonio family dared touch her again, she


    wouldn''t hold back.

    Josefina nned to check on Brandon''s health today, after raking in so much cash. After breakfast,


    Brandon sent a car for her.


    Hattie cautioned, "Sweetie Josie, make it a quick visit, yeah? I''ll have the driver follow the Baldwin


    family''s car. Just hop in toe back home whenever."


    Garrett reminded her too, "Don''t bother with lunch at the Baldwin''s. I''ll have a seafood feast ready


    for you here."


    Josefina couldn''t help butugh at their overprotectiveness. "Don''t worry, I''ll be home for lunch."


    Her words eased the couple''s worries. They saw Josefina to the door, watched her get into the


    Baldwin''s car, their hearts heavy with longing.


    "Honey, it hurts me to watch Josie drive off. It’s like our little girl''s left the nest for good."
