Samantha smiled at the cameras that tried their best to get good shots of her. She looked around at the sea of people gathered and studied their expressions. Some looked happy, others were shocked and others didn't fail to show their disapproval of her being announced as the new CEO. She knew they wanted her sister to be the CEO of the company but newsflash, she had taken over and this was her time. “It is an honor to be given this privilege and I promise you all that I won't disappoint you,” she spoke about her visions and plans for the company and when she was done, she gave them a slight bow. “Thank you all for your support.” she moved aside, followed by a round of applause and cheers as the anchor came onboard. She walked to where Aiden stood, and he held her hand, causing her to freeze. “You did good.” he smiled at her, and she couldn't help the warmth she felt at his words. “Thanks.” she answered and slowly disconnected their hands before facing the stage. Aiden sighed and tucked his hands into his pockets. He knew the kind of lady Samantha was, and was aware it was going to take some time before she trusted him enough to let herself love him again. All through that process, he was going to be with her and help her heal. His eyes went to Nathan, who stood with Bianca. When he saw them talking down on Samantha earlier, no one needed to tell him that it was her ex-husband and his main chick. His fists clenched as he stared at them and saw how Nathan would glance their way from time to time. He was going to make sure he dealt with the bastard. While the event was in full swing, Samantha used that opportunity to welcome and talk with some businessmen there one on one. She also made connections with some and was able to convince some of them into becoming shareholders and business associates with them. It seemed she had magic on her lips because she was able to convince the ones she met to trust her with her words. Nathan couldn't believe what was going on. The room suddenly became too suffocating for him to be in. He wondered if he was dreaming or all this was just a prank. The Samantha he knew was a nobody. How on earth did she suddenly become this rich and influential? She even became the CEO of the greatest and biggest business empire in the state. How was that even possible? “How did this happen, Bianca? Where did it all go wrong? Samantha isn't rich. She is a nobody. I know her too well. She told me her parents were in a remote village and struggling to survive. How did she become the daughter of the Salvadors? Not just that, how did she become an heiress, and a billionaire CEO?” he asked Bianca, who was also in shock. “I have no idea, but if this is really happening, then I am in big shit,” she said, the panic evident on her face. Nathan turned to face her. “What do you mean?” he asked and she sighed. “I am part of the Sullivan, and we are number three among THE BIG FIVE here in America. THE BIG FIVE are the five largest business conglomerate in the country and the Salvadors are ranking second while the Callymore are the first. The Salvadors are shareholders in our company and are one of our company's main sources of income. Now that Samantha is the CEO, if she finds out, she might withdraw from the company, and we will lose a lot of money as a result.” she explained and Nathan gasped. “That's not fair. Besides, she has no business with you personally, so why would she withdraw from helping your company?” he asked. Bianca glared at him. “I slapped and threw her out of your house, remember?” she asked, poking his forehead as if trying to register the situation into his head. Nathan soon realized and looked in Samantha's direction, but she was no longer there. He used his eyes to look for her, but couldn't find her. “Let's look for her and apologize for everything that happened. I'm sure she will reconsider because I am her husband.” “Ex-husband.” Bianca corrected him, a frown settling on her face. “She hasn't signed the divorce papers yet. I only signed my part. There is a way we can still work things out.” Bianca couldn't believe what he was saying. He wanted to work things out with Samantha? If that happens then what about her? Is he going to abandon her or what? “You're talking like it's something to be treated trivially. If you get back together with her, what happens to me? Are you going to throw me away like you threw her away because of me?” she asked, glaring at him. Nathan held her hand. “No, that's not what I meant,” he rubbed her hands to calm her down. “I mean, Samantha loves me so much. She obviously can't do without me. If I tell her that I want us to be together, she will be happy. We will be able to use her for her money, and also live a good life together.” “So you want to deceive her? You aren't planning to leave me?” Bianca asked. “I will never leave you.” he smiled at her and she smiled back. “I'm sorry to interrupt your love confession but spare me two minutes of your time. I need to talk to you.” Samantha smiled as she walked up to them. They turned to look at her and stepped back in fear. The aura surrounding her was different now. She was intimidating; unlike the sweet and calm Samantha they all knew. Nathan noticed that she looked more beautiful than before tonight. This was the same woman he threw out of his house yesterday. How did she glam up so quickly? He flashed her a smile. “Sam.” he called softly, expecting that fluttering look she always gave him whenever he called her that way, but her expression didn't falter. She just stood there with her arms folded, her face expressionless. “Nathan,” she called. “It's nice to see you again, isn't it? You know, a few minutes ago, you and your girlfriend shamed me, and called me a broke ass bitch. Isn't it ironic and somehow shocking that the broke ass bitch is the heiress to Salvador enterprises?” she smirked, her voice laced with mockery. “What do you have to say about that?”

29.After Mia walked out, Samantha soaked her handkerchief into the water and used it to wipe her gown, but the stains were still there since her gown was white in color. She ran her hands through her hair, not knowing what else to do. She wondered why Aiden's cousin would be this mean. It wasn't like she was even interested in the guy, so why was the lady all worked up?With a sigh, she walked out of the bathroom, trying her best to ignore the stains on her cloth. Her intention was to just go there and tell Aiden that she no longer wanted to have dinner.When she got there, Aiden's eyes went to her clothes. “Sam, your clothes are still stained.”“Yeah, I know,” she tucked a strand of hair behind her ears.“I'm so sorry, Sammy, I had no idea my clumsiness would be this…” Mia trailed off and sighed, giving Samantha an innocent expression. “I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad.” she pleaded, and Samantha couldn't believe this lady. She was acting like some sort of angel in Aiden's presenc

28.Aiden tapped his feet on the floor numerous times as he awaited Samantha's reply to his invite. He would glance at his phone every second and Seth just sat, watching him."No reply yet?" Seth asked."It's been fifteen minutes. What's taking her so long? She read it and refused to say anything." he ruffled his hair."Be patient. Maybe she tapped on the message by mistake and hasn't glanced at her phone to see it." he tried to comfort Aiden, who just looked away.After two minutes, he stood to his feet. "If she isn't going to reply to my text, I'll just have to meet her face to face and get the answer out of her." Just as he was about to take a step, his phone beeped. He quickly checked it and his face lit up at her reply "She said yes!" he exclaimed happily, did a dance and turned around, walking out of the office with the car keys twirling in his hand.Seth wondered if it was a proposal because how can a man like Aiden be so happy because a lady accepted his invite to a dinner da

27.Samantha couldn't believe what was happening. She turned to Madame Dupont, who was daydreaming about her son's happily ever after with her in the picture.“Madame Dupont, I don't think this is necessary. Elvis and I-”“Nonsense,” she brushed off what Samantha was about to say. “I am not expecting you two to fall in love immediately, no. Love is a beautiful thing and as such, it takes a gradual process. From the way he looked at you, I know that he likes you. Once you two spend some time together, you'll see.” she smiled.Samantha raised an eyebrow. If she had known that things would turn out this way, she wouldn't have come to this woman's house. She would have requested they meet for coffee instead.With a sigh, she placed her cup of tea on the table gently and flashed Madame Dupont a smile. “I know this would come as a shock to you, but I am engaged,” she said, and the woman became quiet. “I know a lot of people may not know because it hasn't been announced yet, but I have someo

26.A DAY LATER..."When are you going to rest, Mrs. Salvador? You shouldn't be stressing yourself out like this. I don't know how much longer your body would be able to fight this." Doc. Mara, who was in charge of her health, spoke up, worry etched into her voice.She had come to complain about her headaches and body weakness, and the doctor had checked her only to realize that her condition wasn't improving a bit.Samantha sighed. "Doc, you do know the kind of work I do, don't you? It does not require me to just sit and do nothing. I have to be busy all the time, paperworks here and there, TV interviews day and night, not to mention the eyes of the press are always on me. I'm under a lot of pressure, you know." she complained."I know but it wouldn't bite to take a short break. During that period, you could hire a manager. That would make the work lesser for you. You wouldn't have to do tons of paperworks anymore." Doc. Mara advised her.Samantha massaged her temple. "I'll consider

25.Jessica sat down on the couch and took a deep breath. Samantha was right about everything. There were times she had wanted to put Estella in her place, but she felt the girl just needed to be loved. She recalled how Estella would cry herself to sleep every night and shut herself out from everyone during the day. There are times she would want to do the work of a mother, but Estella had always been hostile towards her from day one.She could still remember the incident that occured the first day she stepped her feet into the house.FLASHBACKYEARS AGOJessica walked into the mansion, her hands wrapped around Ray's arm. They had just tied the knot and he had insisted she moved into the house today. She had no idea he was such an influential person because he was simple yet nice towards her."Ray, I know you were rich, but you didn't tell me you were this rich." she gushed over the beautiful interior. Being a designer herself, she couldn't help but admire the intricate designs on the

24."Excuse me?" Samantha couldn't believe what this lady just blurted out from her mouth. "For the record, Dad just traveled, he isn't dad, and again, he never asked you to be in charge of anything. We aren't kids."Estella glared at Samantha. "And who asked you to talk? It's not like you're the first daughter of the house or are you?""I might not be the first daughter of the house, but I won't be disrespected." Samantha replied.Estella laughed. "Look who is talking about respect? Do you think you're a big shot now because Dad made you CEO of the company? The CEO tag is just a title, it doesn't stop you from being a nobody because that's exactly what you are."Samantha tightened her fists. She was about to talk but Jessica stepped in to quell the situation. "Girls, you two are sisters-""Correction: stepsisters. She doesn't even deserve to be called my stepsister because I am sure she is an illegitimate child!" Estella snapped."Watch your tongue, Estella. I will not tolerate being
