EXTRA! ETRA! The notorious Black Widow has struck again! No less than hotshot, playboy, billionaire, Damian Aidan McLaren as her latest prey.” Twenty-two-year-old Samantha Kingsley-Cameron withdrew from society and lived in solitary when her husband passed away. Scorned by the lot due to marrying a man old enough to be her grandfather, Sam decided to live the rest of her life in peace. Or so she had hoped until she received a meeting invitation from the famous shopping mall King. When Damian finally got to meet Samantha, he became instantly drawn to her despite the contempt and disgust he had for her. He will make sure that the enigmatic woman will be the one falling into his web especially when she unconsciously showed her strength. Sparks fly as two complete opposites butted heads. Damian vowed to conquer the woman and he doesn’t give a damn if he will be seducing Sam to his bed and make her fall in love with him to get what he wants. However, he wasn’t prepared discovering Samantha’s long and deepest secret. And, what happens when Samantha gets to unearth his own secrets as well?
View MoreDamian stared grimly as Sam was tucked into her bed by Ara in the room she had first stayed in at Stratham and watched Gunny immediately jumping up the bed and settled beside her, his head resting on her upper arm.Sam had also taken some pills.At Ara’s firm insistence, when they all decided to take Sam back home, she stepped up and told Damian to let Sam stay in a separate room. He was about to refuse but Oliver Morgan, Sam’s therapist backed her up. He was the unknown man in Sam’s office when he was able to bring Sam out of the toilet.He recalled what Sam said after he informed that he was called in urgently.“I thought I was going to be okay,” Sam only replied. She stood beside Damina silently for a long while. She was breathing slowly before looking back at Oliver. “But I don’t think I ever was, Ollie. I thought I was but I’m not. I don’t know what to do.”“I’m here,” Oliver assured as he walked towards her but stopped when Damian gave him a dark look. He gestured to one of the
Sam entered her office the following day and abruptly stopped when she saw Felix Conroy standing by her office, obviously waiting for her arrival. She gripped the folder in her hand when he turned towards her expectantly.“Were you able to have the figures revised?” Felix then asked expectantly.Walking towards her desk, Sam placed her bag on the chair and handed him the folder. She watched as Felix opened the file and read through it with his eyes for a long while before finally nodding with satisfaction.“Good to see that you had him agree to this,” he said to her calmly. “The ROI he presented will not be suitable for us. Have this notarized immediately by legal, Sam and then we can put this to rest.”“I had Shirley call them to come here to get the file,” Sam informed patiently.“Well, that’s it then,” Felix said with finality. He looked at her and there was some glint in his eyes but decided not to say it. “As long as you are keeping McLaren in check, we won’t be seeing each other
Sam leaned back on her chair as she read through the financial report that she requested that afternoon of the same day. She reached for a highlighter and started marking the figures that she checked.For the next two hours, she reviewed the files Shirley had placed on her table. The last folder she picked up contains the ongoing works at several floors of the building below where Damian's shopping mall will connect.Opening the file, she first read the progress report along with photos attached. She noted the delays and the buffer of works being done to ensure the target percentage."Shirley?" Sam called out, pressing on the intercom and waited for the answer. "Can you please check if Felix's at his office? I need to see him now.""He just came in here, Sam," Shirley responded with a hint of surprise in her voice. "I'll let him in."Sam stood up when the door to her office opened and Felix Conroy came in with a set look on his face. She already has a suspicion in her mind and it's fr
Damian, sitting in his chair inside his office, is deeply analyzing the words that Sam had said yesterday. The phone on his desk rang but he didn't answer it. His frown intensified especially when Sam told him that while they are together, she will do everything in her power to protect him from her world. She seems to have forgotten who she is married to, he thought with annoyance. He leaned back on his chair. Just how cruel is your world, Samantha? He recalled the way her face changed when he surprised her by having her dog brought to Stratham. When he found her at the terrace, her expression was void of all emotions, the wall she had built over the years, gaining another inch. But when Gunny came in, it's as if it vanished as her expression changed into relief, knowing that she has someone with her now to erase her loneliness. Damian suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy towards her dog. Sam never had that expression on her face when she sees him. He wondered when will she
Sam entered the front door silently ahead of Damian in the Stratham mansion and watched as the staff came after them bringing their belongings. She smiled politely when he introduced her formally to the household, who greeted her in unison.“Have my wife’s things placed in my room,” Damian then instructed and the head housekeeper immediately instructed the staff and helped with one bag. He then turned to the butler. “We will have lunch in thirty minutes.”“Yes, Mr. McLaren.”When they were finally alone, Sam was about to say something to Damian when his phone rang. Answering his phone and telling the caller to wait for a while, he turned to Sam and kissed her on the head.“It’s Frederick,” he informed. “I’ll take the call in my office. I’ll look for you.”Sam watched as he took off until she was on her own in the wide foyer. She walked towards the center table where a large flower arrangement of lilies was placed.After staying for three more days in Menorca, Damian informed her that
Damian woke up with a hell of a headache, his hand going immediately to his head and massaging the sides in slow, circular motions. Cursing himself for overindulging too much alcohol in broad daylight, he groaned for a while, burying his face on the pillows.Finally opening his eyes, he noted that he was in the bedroom back in the villa. Though he was not surprised about it, he knew that Jacob and Andres will be looking out for him while laughing. What surprised him is when he saw that there was an indentation of Sam’s presence beside him on the bed.He placed one hand on her side and still felt the fading warmth, realizing that she just stood up ahead for several minutes before he opened his eyes. Up to now, he still continued to marvel that he couldn’t even feel her when she moves up from the bed and wondered when he will be able to feel that.It was almost seven in the evening and he is topless.His eyes strayed towards a book that she must have been reading and noted that it’s a p
Sam watched as the two bodyguard carefully assisted Damian inside the master’s bedroom and then lay him on their bed after she had arranged the pillows. She then took off his shoes and watched as he slept deeply without a care in the world.It was four days later, to her surprise since she was expecting to meet her friends in two days, that she and Damian joined them. They met up with them at the weekend flea market for some shopping and chit chat.Sam remembered turning towards Damian and saw him talking to Jacob and Andres. Assured that his friends are with him, she ventured towards the displays and started browsing through.There was only one disturbance and that was when two men had approached her, enticing her to try another type of cheese. Damian had appeared just in time and shooed them away.He then took off after answering her question, leaving her on her own.She had met up with Damian a few hours later after having lunch with her friends when she received a call from Jacob,
Damian watched as Sam is ahead with her friends, browsing through the display of a street market late Friday morning while he walked beside Jacob and Andres. He watched thru his dark glasses as Sam carefully picked up a handmade bag, inspecting it while the seller is selling her the product.“You know you could have extended another day,” Jacob commented with a chuckle as he looked at him. “You’ve been watching your wife like a vulture ever since the two of you stepped out from the car.”Andres Grant, his other good friend, laughed in unison.“Probably gave her a few hours to rest,” he pointed with mirth as he picked up a box of high-end cigars and asked the seller how much. “Knowing our friend here, he must have exhausted her for the past four days and nights.”Jacob continued to laugh as he also decided to buy a box, handing his card for the payment.“So, how does it feel getting what you want?” He questioned as the three of them continued down the street, looking at goods being dis
Sam rolled onto her back on the bed and watched as Damian put on a robe and tied it around his waist after a few hours. He sat back on the bed on her side and kissed her for a while then telling her to stay in bed.“I’ll get some food for us from the kitchen. Give me fifteen to twenty minutes,” he informed, nibbling on her neck. “You don’t mind some leftovers, do you? Jacob ordered more than enough food from last night. And I’ll bring some wine.”“It’s still morning for wine,” she commented.Damian smiled down at her.“We’re honeymooning, baby,” he responded as he traveled his hand between her legs again and smiled triumphantly when he felt the evidence of what he did. He laughed when she slapped his hand off. “Having wine in the morning is an excuse for us to indulge a little bit more than the usual. Besides, you seemed far more relax and free willing last night.”Sam glared at him and he laughed, kissing the frown off her face.“You’ll be willing soon enough,” he added. “Wine or no
