31st August, 2025, Sam was arrested in Barcelona…

That same evening in Spain, FC Barcelona mobilized its rich legal resources as the club lawyers responded immediately, instantly reacting to the case and approaching the court to defend their player.

Of course, legal matters most times could not be rectified so fast.

The police remained adamant in holding custody of Sam till their investigation was done to get conclusive evidence, but the lawyers were able to negotiate favorable conditions for their star player.

Sam was to be kept in the best environment possible till the end of the investigation and if necessary, till the end of the court hearing.

Just like that, Sam’s life turned upside down.

From celebrating his first 2 goals in the blue and red colors of FC Barcelona, Sam was suddenly faced with a case of rape and sexual assault.

He was just barely recovering from his mental problems caused by his lack of goals and assists in the Spanish La Liga, and now this?

Sam felt frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

1st September…

That morning, he was finally let out by the police to face the media where he gave answers to a few questions.

Sam had only one answer to all of the inquiries. "I’m being framed".

"I’m being framed," he repeated. "I don’t know what she wants but I’m being framed".

…

1st September…

In the afternoon, Kayla arrived in Spain, Barcelona.

After the appeal from the FC Barcelona lawyers and due to their influence, despite being detained, Kayla was allowed to go inside the building where her boyfriend was being held.

As soon as she heard of the news, Kayla didn’t even think about it, she took the next flight to Barcelona.

As soon as she arrived, she went straight to the building where he was being held by the police.

As soon as she entered, finally meeting her boyfriend, the first thing that she noticed was the eyebags.

She grimaced; clearly, Sam didn’t sleep well the previous night. This was despite playing such a grueling away game at San Sebastian.

"Oh come here my love," she accelerated her steps, walking briskly till she hugged him.

Sam never knew how much a hug could mean to him till this moment.

He hugged her tightly, sniffing, taking in her scent hungrily, all of it was spiritual healing to the mental fractures in his mind.

As soon as they broke out of the hug, Sam looked into his girlfriends’ eyes. "Kayla, please believe me, what happened…"

"I believe you," she interrupted him, smiling.

Sam was stunned. "Really?"

"Yeah," she chuckled. "I took your virginity, so I’d know".

"Ah," Sam scratched the back of his head, awkwardly looking around. "Yeah, that too…"

In that moment, Sam could feel himself falling in love with Kayla all over again. Afterall, this was a sexual scandal.

At first, he didn’t know how Kayla would react to it and that frustration was part of the reason why he could not sleep last night. Her reaction caught him off-guard, and left him even deeper in love.

Sam never paid attention to social media before but due to what happened and his frustration, for the past night, he scrolled through social media and what he saw left him depressed.

Back in Fulham, he’s experienced love, unconditional love from fans but the abuse he was receiving at the moment…, it broke him.

Sam could not deal with it, until his girlfriend came.

In her company, as if knowing exactly how he was feeling, Kayla was able to help her boyfriend recover himself a bit.

And before he knew it, regaining his appetite, Sam ate and, in a few minutes, later, he slept.

As soon as he slept, Kayla moved, meeting her boyfriend’s lawyer first.

"Tell me the situation". She demanded.

The lawyer nodded, knowing who she was as she explained the situation to her.

Kayla frowned. "How will this affect his career?"

"Until the police conclude their investigation, he won’t be allowed to leave which automatically means he won’t be able to train with his teammates nor will he be able to play for FC Barcelona".

The lawyer shook her head. "His career is stagnant till he leaves this place".

Kayla’s frown deepened but she nodded. "I understand, thank you".

Once the lawyer left, she turned to look at the room door where her boyfriend slept. She sighed, and then she dialed a phone number. Your next read is at novelbuddy

(Outgoing call to Big Bro Ian…)

The phone rang for only a few seconds before Ian picked it up.

"Where are you?" He asked first.

"Barcelona".

"Let’s meet up," Ian said. "I just arrived".
