Chapter Four
Grace is fumed about the card she received a while back and she never actually wiped it out of her head.  Sam crept up from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist. �Sam, honey, what do you call yourself doing?�  She beamed.  �I just wanted to surprise my wife . . . is that such a bad thing?�  He kissed her cheek passionately.  �Sam, you are very bad. You know, I was thinking?�  Sam interrupted her.  �Like what sweetheart?�  She sighed slightly.  �We should get away.�  She suggested.  �Get away? Really?�  He sounded enthused. She nodded and broke free from his arms to go to the refrigerator. �Yes, Sam. I believe it�ll buy us some time to catch up and do the things we all wanted to do.�  She implied. �Oh I see, and I know exactly what you�re talking about.�  He inferred.

�Good for you, Sam. I�ve already made some reservations, no time to waste, go pack.�  She demanded playfully.  �Pack?�  He asked confoundedly. �Where are we going?�  He queried while scratching his head.  �That�s for me to know and for you to find out.�  She smiled foolishly. �Oh, you are so cold, Mrs. Bennett.�  He teased and pressed his lips on hers.

�Since I am �so cold�, Mr. Bennett, why don�t you come give me some heat? I�m freezing cold.�  She loved the way his arms snuggled around her waist.  �You want to be warm, eh? Coming right up, Mrs. Bennett.�  He tickled her neck by kissing her tenderly as she didn�t refuse him.  She was about to cave in but she resist. �All right, we can save this for later once we arrive at our trip.�  Grace touched his lips fervently.

Sam didn�t argue with Grace and went packing.  He thought to himself as he started. I wonder what Grace is up to? What could she be hiding from me? I hope this will be worth my time. Because I feel really guilty for cheating on her and I want to make it up to her. I will give it all I got. I will let her know how much I love her and it will start today.  He smiled to himself and finished stashing his clothes away in his suitcase. �Apparently, you�ve been prepared without my acknowledgment.�  Sam replied while descending the stairs.  �Oh, yes. Sam, Eve promised that she will look after our children while we�re gone.�  Grace glanced at herself in the mirror.  Sam placed his luggage in the foyer and took one last look at their house before they are ready to exit.

�Sam, I promise you, this will be a vacation you�ll never forget.�  She simply stated. �I sure hope not. I know without a doubt that I will have a good time with my beautiful wife.� Sam kissed her cheek. Sam and Grace closed the door after them and didn�t waste any time to get to the airport.  �Grace, where are we going? You never did tell me?�  He wondered.  �You�ll see.� replied Grace laconically.

Sam didn�t know what Grace was up to but certainly he didn�t have to worry about anyone with the name, Ivy.  Sam kicked back and relaxed as Grace stares outside the window as the plane takes off. Sam closed his eyes and begin daydreaming about Grace and his vacation. Grace knew exactly what his smile stands for. She knew he is contemplating about them and their trip. Unaware to the fact that Ivy is on the plane as well. Sitting way in the back.   I can�t believe that I have found a way to wiggle my way back into Sam�s life. I will make sure he�ll fall in love with me.   Sam will always love me. Ivy only thought of the impossible and never considered the effects if she actually follow through with this dastardly deed.

Ivy�s teeth clenched onto her shades and thought evilly. �Sam, you�ll be mine. I assure.�  Ivy whispered.  Sam opened his eyes and smiled at Grace. �How was your nap, honey?�  Grace held his hand. �It was nice, but . . . it could be better.�  He snickered. �Oh, I bet, Sam. You are pitiful.�  She giggled. �I hope not. I was really looking forward to make love to you throughout our vacation.�  Sam stroked her hair gently.

�Sam, you are truly a good man to me.�  Grace replied while looking into his eyes. �Believe me, Grace. I don�t deserve all of the credit.�  He felt bad for what he has done. �Quit being so modest, Sam, you know you deserve me.�  She pinched his arm. �If only that was true.�  He mumbled.  �Don�t be such a tight ball, Sam. It�ll be all right. I promise you.�  She held on to his hand tightly.

�Yeah.�  He dryly remarked.  Sam told Grace he had to go use the restroom and Grace kissed him.  Sam walked to the restroom and inhaled deeply.  �What am I going to do?�  He frowned.  �Grace must never know that I have cheated on her. Ivy means nothing to me. I hope Ivy has learned her lesson. I don�t want her around me and I don�t want her to be in my face. I regret the day I�ve slept with her.�  He grumbled.

Ivy eavesdropped on his soliloquy. His words simply devastated her and tormented her to think even worse.  �I�ll show you, Sam! I�ll show you not to ever abandon me and think that my feelings doesn�t count. There is no way in Hell, I will let you get away with thinking that Grace will tend to believe that your marriage will remain rock solid.�  Ivy bitterly claimed.

�Damn you, Grace Bennett!  Damn you!�  She nearly roared.  She heard Sam coming out and went to her seat without any delay.  Sam seemed a bit flustered and kept quiet. �Sam, are you okay?�  Grace observed his faint expression. �Yes, I�m fine. I just can�t believe that we will finally have quality time to ourselves.�  He smiled. �I�m glad that we�re concurring about this . . . I promise you that once we get to our destination, you�ll not regret or forget.�  She purred in his ear. �Grace, you are so naughty and I can not wait to see more of you being like this later on.�  He blew sweet
kisses on her and didn�t want to hold back anymore.

Grace reminded him that they are in public as he agreed and kept his composure. �Oh Sam, the plane is almost landing. Ready?�  She felt somewhat nervous, at the same time, she can be at ease because there is nothing to threaten her marriage.

Sam and Grace are in total awe when they have laid their eyes on their hotel room.  �This is pure excellence.  Grace, I owe you big time!�   He picked her up and placed her on their bed.  Not knowing that Ivy is watching them. She burns with fury. �Damn you, Grace! Damn you!  I want you to rot in Hell for taking Sam away from me!�  She griped and decided to take some action into her own hands. �Grace, it�s time for you to say goodbye.�


Five hours later, Sam went out to buy Grace some very romantic aphrodisiacs for their secret rendezvous. Grace slipped into her sweet blue negligee and she faced the lights and wanted to dim them before Sam makes his entrance. Grace grimaced at the door. �That�s odd, I don�t remember leaving this door open. Maybe Sam forgot to close it after departing.�  She shrugged and shut it. Ivy stood from behind and began swinging the sledge hammer on Grace.  �This is for abducting Sam from me!  Die Grace Bennett!  Die!�  She fumed as Grace lays there helplessly.  �Ivy, what . . .�  Grace couldn�t finish her sentence.  It was too late. Ivy kept striking at Grace like crazy and made sure that Grace is very well dead.

�No more!�  Ivy yelled and left the revolting scenery.  She stayed near just in case if Sam appeared and watch his precious Grace laying there for dead.  Sam is in total disgust as he called the police and they told him that is dead.  He cried out all of his tears.  �How in the hell will I tell my children that their mother is . . . . dead?�  He dryly inquired. 

Sam found that his getaway was a sign of misery. He�s feeling guilty of not telling Grace the truth about his affair with Ivy.  Sam is angry and hostile.  He doesn�t feel the same way about life anymore.  It has no meaning, not without Grace. She is definitely the light of his life.  He looked up and saw Ivy on the air plane. �Ivy? I didn�t know you were on the same plane with me?�  He looked baffled at her. �This was the only time slot I could take. I thought I was going to have a good vacation and it turns out that I have been misled. I�ve screwed up my appointments in my planner. What a shame?�  She sighed.

�Yeah . . .�  Sam soughed.  �What�s the matter, Sam?�  Ivy asked out of concern as Sam spilled his guts about what happened to Grace.  He told her the whole story and they both arrived back to Harmony.
