"What exactly do you think you're doing? You think I can’t get rid of you and your folks all because you got the job and a bit of his familiarity?” Jaden asked before he broke out in an annoyingly long laugh.
What’s so funny about this to him?
“Do you??” he roared looking at me in the eyes making my heart skip a beat. “Well, don’t! Because what that fool wants is a secretary and I bet he wouldn’t care if the one he hired comes to work severely bruised every morning.” He threatened with all seriousness in his words.
Bruised? What is that supposed to mean?
I stared back at him wondering the evil capabilities behind those brown orbs that appearso fierce.
“I’m sorry. Believe it or not, I just can’t stand arrogant people.” I apologized trying to sound as remorseful as I can to cool him down.
“We’re leaving,” he
Chapter 21Samantha Downs ~“Of course. You didn’t think you were the first good looking bitch I made Nathan’s secretary, did you?”“Maybe but that’s not my point. What is, is the fact that she got hired three years ago. You’ve been at this for three years?”“Yes. After Nathan left high school, his rich dad had a one year schooling programme done for him about how to run the family business then he made him the CEO. So young and so foolish. I wanted that info so I sent him Vivian when he fired the existing secretary.”Wow. Jaden has thrown away three years of his life on Nathan but he still doesn’t want to quit?Is what he wants that important? I stopped asking him anything and begun to observe the whole place.The whole place is more luxurious in the inside than it looks on the outside. An the outside is amazing. Everything looks more expensive and top standard from the marble

Chapter 1Samantha Downs ~Barely three months ago, I graduated from college having studied Clothing and Textile Economics. Since I'll be gone for a probably long while, today is going to be the last day I’ll be spending with my mom and dad before, for a very long time, I’ll return.Who says you can’t have more than one dream in life? Not me.I have two, at least two main ones. The first, to be a successful fashion designer and the other, to be a body model for various high-class companies in the world. Two dreams that can offer me the spotlight.If I’m as beautiful as my fiancee, Francis says I am, and I agree with him, then the second shouldn’t be much of a stress on the part where I get it.Right now, I have little or no capital to get me the first on a golden platter. No ‘silver-spoon’ parents and no ‘super rich’ relative to look up on. It’s just me so I’ll have to go with
Chapter 2Samantha Downs ~“I give the orders around here and you’re not going anywhere until I say so and I don't intend on saying so… at least not right now!” he added using his right hand to raise my chin so my eyes met with his burning brown orbs.“Let go of me!” I roared taking my chin off his grip. “You have no right to keep me here. You have no right to have even abducted me and brought me here in the first place.”“Gentlemen, look at what you’ve done to her.” he said with a rising intonation expressing anger totally snubbing me.He advanced forward and punched the two men by Sam;s side both in the gut one after the other and they released me from their grip howling in pain. This made Sam realise that the man before her is stronger than he looks.“You shouldn’t handle a lady so poorly. Never. Especially one that I need so much.” he said
Chapter 3Samantha Downs ~“What do you want from me? Can’t you just let me go?” I said trying to hold back tears.This guy is a Mafia Lord? That explains everything. The henchmen, the guns, the whole kidnapping me and my parents, the luxurious mansion and the devious look in his eyes everytime mine meet his. Everything but why he needs me. Every second I spend with him makes me feel worse than the last. What if he intends to hurt me?I’ve never encountered one before but I've heard dreadful stories about them. They don’t really keep good reputations. I never intended to meet one and certainly not make a deal with one but what choice do I have? He definitely isn’t bluffing about killing my parents.“Sam, can I call you Sam? I’ll call you Sam. What I want is really simple. A deal!”“What deal??” I know this isn’t going to end well considering the fact that I am about to s
Chapter 4Samantha Downs ~“Let me get this straight. You kidnapped me and my parents to begin with. Made a lot of creepy research on my… well, everything and those of Nathaniel Kress and want me to get some important info from him by making him fall in love with me then report back to you in exchange for my parents and if I don’t pull through with this crazy deal as you wish, you’ll kill them both?”“Absolutely! You’re a smart one after all. You seem to be catching on quite nicely with the terms of the deal.” I heard Jaden say and I could tell even though I am not looking at him, that there was a smirk on his face.“No!” I said with my eyes closed. “I won’t do it!”How on earth am I going to do any of that? Make the CEO of a multi-billionaire company fall in love with me? How is that ever going to happen? I’m nowhere close to his class.I just can&rsq
Chapter 5Samantha Downs ~“Three months, Sam. Three months.” with his American accent putting emphasis on every word.”“... You are free to stay and have dinner with me though.” Jaden offfered and from where I stood, I could feel his breath on my neck.He is right behind me.Jaden walked to the door and the men there gave way for him. He opened the door eyes glued on Sam but she didn’t look at him.She just walked out.“You,” Jaden called out pointing to one of the duo. “Get her back home and give her a three-hundred thousand dollar cheque. Tell her it’s for her wardrobe change. And bag her up too. Until I can trust her, I can't risk having her know her way here.”“Yes, boss.” The man left to get to Sam and he led her back to the SUV.Sam didn’t resist this time. Not that she did trust them but she wasn’t going to knowing that woul
Chapter 6Samantha Downs ~“Briiing! Bring!! Briinng!” the alarm clock kept on going until I put the batteries to rest.I had stayed up almost all through the night reading the contents of the files one after the other. I must’ve slept off while reading on Nathan’s personality. Nathaniel Kress is more interesting than I thought he was. Right now, my eyes are sore from lack of enough sleep but realizing that I have to get going, I forced myself up from bed.I had made up my mind to keep my parents disappearance a secret as well as the whole deal thing. The cover story would be that they’re out of town.Telling someone might trigger ‘his bad sides’. I reached for my phone and turned the screen on. The time is 7:06AM, pretty early to begin the day. I was about to drop it when the notification of a message came in. The sender’s name appeared as ‘J.S’ and I knew that it was coming from no one o
