15.

Samantha's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what just came out of this man's mouth. From what she had read about him, he was quite a decent man, so what's with him? Why was he being a pervert?

Aiden smirked at her flustered expression.

“Take your clothes off, you wish!” she huffed at him, but he only looked at her with a bemused expression on his face.

“You're so adorable when you're flustered, Samantha,” he teased, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. “But don't worry, I won't take advantage of you… yet.” He winked at her, and Samantha's face turned beet red with rage and embarrassment.

She tried to squirm out of his grasp, but he held her firm. “Let me go now. It's not funny!”

Aiden chuckled, his teasing eyes set on her. “Oh, but it is, Samantha. You're so serious all the time. I'm

trying to lighten the mood,” He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear again, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body. “But if you want me to let you go, you have to promise me one thing…"

Samantha's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with possibilities. What did he want her to promise? And why was she even considering it? “What do you want?”

“You have to promise me a dance at the ceremony tomorrow night,” Aiden whispered. “A waltz, to be precise. Just one dance, and I'll let you go.”

Samantha's eyes widened in surprise. A dance? That's all he wanted? She hesitated for a moment, considering his request. She didn't want to dance with him, but she was already red by being on his lap like this, so the best thing to do was to get out of this present situation first. After all, she had thought he was going to ask for something obnoxious and he didn't.

With a defeated sigh, she nodded. “Fine, deal. Now let me go.” she demanded.

Aiden grinned, his eyes sparkling with triumph. “I'll hold you to that, Samantha. And who knows, maybe by the end of the dance, you'll fall in love with me.” He winked at her, and Samantha's face flushed with anger.

She snorted as he let her go, and she moved away from him, then pointed to the door. “You can leave now.”

Aiden stood to his feet and gave her a small smile. “Bye, wifey.” he winked at her and strode out of the room, each step exuding elegance as he walked out.

Samantha facepalmed and turned to look around her room, different thoughts swirling through her head. She couldn't understand what she felt when she sat on his lap and he flirted with her. She felt like her heart was about to explode.

She walked to the hanger and took her bra and panties from there. She put them away as her thoughts drifted to Aiden again.

She tried to shake off the feeling of Aiden's warm breath on her ear and the way her heart raced when he whispered in her ear. She couldn't understand why she had reacted that way. She was supposed to be angry, not… fluttery.

She facepalmed again, trying to clear her head. She had to focus on the ceremony tomorrow and the fact that she was going to be the CEO of Salvador's company. She couldn't let Aiden's flirting get in the way of her goals. She won't be distracted by love this time. She concluded that all men were the same.

Aiden might be nice to her now, but she knew once he got what he wanted, he would turn into a devil. That was the same way Nathan had deceived her with a fake love life, and turned her into a slave after she got married to him. She couldn't dispute the fact that all men had the same blood running through their veins and there was no doubt that Aiden was the same. She had been burned by the first man in her life, she wasn't going to give another the chance to repeat the same thing.

She sat down as Aiden's words came back to her.

“Maybe by the end of the dance, you'll fall in love with me.”

She scoffed. There was no way she was going to let that happen. She dismissed the thoughts and returned to her work.

Meanwhile, Aiden was about to enter the car when he looked ahead and saw a petite redhead rushing to him. She approached him with a smile and stretched out her hand for a handshake.

“Nice meeting you, Mr. Callymore. I am Estella, Sam's senior sister.” she beamed at him.

Aiden stared at her hand. He knew her too well. She was the one his parents had always talked about and wanted him to marry. His parents believed Estella would be the one to take over the company, and so they did all they could to join them together, but he refused since his heart was for Samantha, and he was willing to wait for her.

He also thought the company would be given to Estella, but had no idea why Samantha was chosen. He had already concluded to be with Samantha whether she took over the company or not. His love for her was the most important.

He slowly took her hand and she used her second hand to cover their palms.

“I have to go now.” he quickly pulled his hand out of her grip and got into the car.

“Did you come to see Samantha?” she asked.

He gave her a nonchalantly look and with a curt nod, he turned on the car and drove out without saying another word to her.

Estella's fists tightened. She had no idea why Samantha was bent on taking everything away from her. Not only had Samantha taken her father's love and her position, she had also taken Aiden. She thought she would use Aiden as a form of solace, but the man loved Samantha and even she knew that.

She might not have wanted Aiden badly before, but now she does. As long as Samantha wanted to have him, she wanted to have him too, and she would do all it takes to steal him from Samantha.

    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

    23.SULLIVAN GROUP"Not only have we lost a deal with Mrs. Thompson to the Salvador Group, they have also been able to win over the board of directors. They have influential people on their side, and I'm beginning to doubt if we can pull through with this plan." Mr. Will complained as he took a seat on a chair facing Mr. Sullivan. He had been present at the meeting and was the one who tried to oppose Samantha and got shut up by Aiden.He was one of the Salvadors directors but his loyalty lied with the Sullivans, and he was ready to do anything even if it meant betraying the Salvadors so as to bring the Sullivans to the top.Mr. Sullivan leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together as he thought. "We need to think of something, and fast. We can't let the Salvadors get the upper hand.""I agree," Mr. Will sighed, the frustration in his voice was evident. "But what can we do? They have the board on their side, and they have the resources to back them up."Mr. Sullivan's eyes

    22.And then slowly, hands began to rise. Aiden's eyes scanned the room, his gaze piercing as he counted the votes. Finally, he nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. “It seems the majority is in favor of Samantha as CEO. Let's get to work, shall we?”The room erupted into a flurry of activity, with directors and partners scrambling to congratulate Samantha and begin implementing her plan. Aiden watched with a sense of pride and satisfaction, knowing that he had played a crucial role in supporting Samantha and securing her position as CEO. Samantha looked at him. Who exactly was this man and what power did he wield to make her earn support this easily? She had thought Mrs. Thompson would be the one to save the day since her father had told her that if she had Mrs. Thompson by her side, she would win over the rest. Her father never made mention of Aiden, and he was the one who turned the game around just now.“Samantha,”She felt a tap on her shoulders and turned around to see Mrs

    21.CALLYMORE GROUP“The Sullivan's just handed him a contract, and he is having a word with Bianca's father today.” Seth conveyed to Aiden, who nodded his head as he swayed in his chair.Aiden smirked. “Let's let him be for now then.” Seth raised an eyebrow. “Didn't you say you were going to deal with him, or have you suddenly changed your mind?” Seth asked, his tone teasing.Aiden threw him a glare that made him zip his mouth. “I didn't change my mind. The best form of dealing with someone in an excruciatingly painful way is to make them think everything is working for them, and they have won. When they get engrossed in their “victory”, that's when you strike. And with a blow so subtle, they won't even know what hit them until it's too late. Trust me, Seth, I have a plan. And it's going to be glorious.”Seth raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Aiden's cryptic words. He knew better than to question him further. Aiden's mind was a labyrinth of strategies and tactics, and he was always th
