The Black Widow's CEO CHAPTER 17
Damian watched from afar as Samantha conversed with Terry and Senator Whitehall, which he added to the guests lists as the party continued in the evening. He watched the way her eyes would smile at something but despised her closeness to the senator.Just before the first group of guests had arrived, he was waiting at the living room for Samantha to finally come down. He walked back and forth, calming himself as he recalled what transpired inside her room. If he had not stopped himself, the party would have started without them because he will be having Sam on that bed.Damn it, he cursed darkly.For the first time since he had started putting his moves on her, Sam had finally responded to his kisses. He had no idea why and but he clearly had an idea why he is feeling uncharacteristic. The moment that he had tasted her, his body involuntarily responded to her uncontrollably.He got to have her.Tonight.“Mrs. Cameron is coming down, sir,” one of his household staff informed.He walked

It was one in the morning when Sam finally went up the stairs and walked towards the room given to her upon arrival after Damian had a helicopter fetched her from Darren’s cancer foundation activity.She entered the room and immediately took off her heels, massaging her feet and grateful to finally have them off. She went to her dresser and took off her earrings, bracelet and her two rings, placing them securely in her small jewelry box.She carefully unbuttoned her dress and stepped out from it. After hanging it, she then went to the bath for a quick hot shower. She lightly rubbed a soft cloth over her face, removing her makeup and then over her body, finally feeling refresh before turning off the water and started to dry herself.Sam knotted her robe and pick up a comb, running it through her hair as she walks back to her room to put on her undies. She stopped cold when she saw Damian inside the room, his back to her as he looks out the balcony, a drink in his hand. A bottle of whisk

Sam opened her eyes when there was a knock on her bedroom door later that same day in the morning. She didn't move for a while, debating whether to answer the door or not, letting the person on the other side assumed that she's sleeping.“Come in.” She finally said when a second knock came.She sat up when she saw Ara coming in with a concerned look on her face.“Hannah called and told me that your look down when you arrived this morning,” Ara explained softly. She sat on the side of the bed and reached for her hand. “She said you look distraught and your eyes were red. Steven also mentioned that he consoled you because you cried the moment you got inside the car. What happened? Is this about that article today?”“I don’t want to talk about it,” Sam answered stiffly.When she woke up a few hours after and went out from her room after changing, she was informed by the household staff that Damian had already taken off at around six in the morning. The feeling of emptiness enveloped her

Damian opened his eyes and adjusted to the glare of the sunlight coming through the sheer curtains on a Tuesday morning. He turned when he felt Vittoria stirred beside him, rolling to her side, her bare back to him.Sitting up slowly, Damian reached for his phone on the side of the table and turned it on to check for messages in his inbox.“Mrs. Cameron refused to be driven home by the driver and called for her own to fetch her at Stratham,” a message from the butler of the mansion he recently purchased read. “She waited outside the gate until the car had arrived.”His eyes narrowed at the information. He then went to the next message that was sent by his secretary.“Mrs. Cameron was spotted with Senator Whitehall having dinner at Bambino,” he reported. “They then went to watch a play at The Crown Concert Hall and had a nightcap at Bean Bag Tearoom.”Trying to project that you’re doing okay, Samantha? He thought coldly.“Gather everything you can about that senator,” he typed his reply

Samantha watched the waters as waves started to form, rolling smoothly towards the shoreline. She wrapped her arms around her knees and rested her chin, just enjoying the sound of the water, feeling the wind on her face and waiting for the sun to set a few hours from now.It has been several weeks since she came back to the beach house to get over the overwhelming resentment she went through. When she arrived, for the first few days, she just stayed coped up in her room, just sleeping and barely ate anything.When she wakes up, she would cry silently and would do the same thing before sleeping. She closed all the curtains in her room, retained just the light beside her table, wanting to removed herself from the universe. She wanted to be in an abyss, where she could just forget everything.When Ara and Vanessa thoughtfully came to visit her, they were shocked to see that she had lose weight. Ignoring her pleas to let her sulked, Ara had called their personal family doctor and had her

Damian drummed his fingers on the desk impatiently, as he listened to Frederick update him of the results of the shareholders’ monthly meeting at Cameron Elite Holdings that happened this Wednesday morning.Instead of attending it personally, he had sent Frederick along with his design and engineering team on his behalf.Ever since his encounter with Sam and Darren two weeks ago, Damian decided to stay away from her for a while just to give her the upper hand. After seeing her state and the way she shed tears at him, he knew right then and there that Sam had fallen into his clutches. Now, he’s going to use the feeling of separation to make it even harder for her.There was only one small drawback to his plan.Darren Whitehall.The senator obviously cared too much on Sam that Damian nearly loses his control and wanted to do some damage to him that day at the beach. He watched with so much hatred and anger as Darren lead Sam away from him, wrapping his arms around her protectively and d

“W-Why are you doing this to me?” She finally asked after a while when they pulled away to catch their breaths. She pushed at his chest to get off him but he refused to let her go. “What do you want, Damian?”“You,” he stated. He started kissing her neck, holding her arms with one and pushing her neck closer to him. “I want you, Sam! I want to f8ck you so bad and I’m tempted to do it here, right now just to calm myself.”“No,” she responded and immediately stood up when he stopped what he is doing.Damian watched from her seat as she walked away from him, her eyes closed and head bent as if in deep thought. He remained quiet as she paced in front of him.“Why are you here?” She finally asked, looking at him.“The construction proposal,” he responded. “Why did you f8cking go against me?”Sam’s eyes suddenly filled with annoyance.“Because Cameron’s not going to gain anything from it,” she answered flatly. She went to the door of her office when she heard a knock and received a bouquet

Sam tied the straps of her printed lavender bloom midi dress that flatters her figure. After putting on light makeup, perfume and fixing her hair, she put on a pair of strappy sandals and went out of her room, going down the stairs.She checked her phone and saw Hannah sending her a message that she will be home late from visiting her mother at the hospital. Sam typed on her phone, assuring her that it’s okay and she can spend the night there if needed. She then smelled the aroma of the dishes being cooked in the kitchen and followed the smell.“Yum!” She said happily as she surveyed what’s on the kitchen counter.“Don’t touch!” Santino Buckley warned lightly when she was about to pick up a cheese cube from the charcuterie board. He wiped his hands with the towel tuck in his waist and then checked the oven. “Fillet Mignon will be ready in ten minutes.”“There she is!” Darren’s voice came from the hallway and he entered the kitchen with a large bouquet of pink roses. He placed the bouq

Damian thanked Nino, the waiter that Venuti assigned to him after receiving his drink from him. He downed the drink in one go and requested to get him another one.“You really should take it slow,” Vincent muttered dryly.“Now I know why Venuti insisted that we come here,” Damian said darkly as he nodded at Nino. He lowered his hand that is holding his new drink and scowled when he saw Omar and Vittoria in his line of sight. “Never thought the old man can be quite scheming.”“Thank God that my wife doesn’t like Vittoria,” Vincent commented in a low voice.Damian nodded, thankful that Vincent’s wife, Katherine is with him. She immediately took Sam with her, making sure that their paths won’t crossed with the newly engaged couple.He saw the way Sam’s face clouded with anxiety that Damian was ready to leave the party just to protect her.“You’re not going anywhere, Damian. So’s your wife,” a voice said behind and when he turned, he saw Katherine, wrapping an arm around Vincent’s waist.

Sam leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes, letting out a long sigh after finally finalizing the contract deal of an existing building that Damian had been eyeing and negotiating for quite a while on a Friday afternoon, few hours before office for the day ends. She felt the cool breeze of the AC in one of the vacant offices in his company on the same floor with his, making her sleepy.For the past two weeks, she had been going with Damian to his office, helping him with the files that has something to do with Cameron. Without waiting for his permission, she immediately took the files from Frederick and started on it.By end of the first week, she was able to accomplished more than half of the documents that had been pending for quite a while. Her mind became hungry to work and she started automatically.Sam was more than happy to help, knowing that Damian had been sacrificing some work time to accommodate her since she started getting sick. She also felt a little guilty since he

Damian waited as Sam finally bade goodbye to SJ and Elli later that night when the event was finally over. He stood a few feet away as Sam turned down SJ’s invitation to visit him and Elli at Chatsworth House, citing some work she needed to attend to.“When you have the time, don’t hesitate to call,” Elli added warmly. “I’ll introduce you to my father.”Sam nodded with a smile.“Good to meet you, McLaren,” SJ said, holding out one hand to Damian. They shook hands firmly and then SJ looked at them with an amused smile on his face. “Hoping for a good turnout from both of you.”“What do you mean?” Sam inquired that SJ only laughed in return.“Take the win of the jewelry, Sammie,” SJ retorted. He pulled Elli closer to his side. “I’ll nurse my wife over the loss of it.”“SJ,” Elli hissed shyly.“Car’s here,” Damian informed to Sam and he gently assisted her down the last few steps. When Sam is finally inside the car, he turned back to SJ and Elli. “I’ll call you once we have the time to tr

“Watching your wife like a hawk, McLaren?”Damian turned his head away from where Sam is and glared at SJ Kincaid, who is enjoying his glass of whiskey. After hearing his name, Damian immediately knew who he is.He was surprised that Sam is good friends with him, knowing that their companies are each other’s top competitors in the country. Much more so that SJ is a minority holder of some stocks at Cameron.“Ah.. just like me when I was first with my wife,” SJ added. “Perhaps you and I have something in common. Both of our wives are pretty much younger than us. But, it took a while for me to realize she’s the one.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Damian snapped.SJ chuckled.“Oh, I think you do but you just refused to admit it,” he countered in amusement as he signaled to the bartender for another drink. “Trust me, McLaren. It’s only going to get worst overtime.”Damian turned his full attention to SJ.“Do tell me about it since you’re knowledgeable on that subject,” he said

Sam carefully zipped up her dress and looked at herself in the mirror in the walk-in closet inside one of the rooms in Damian’s luxurious apartment in Rome on a late Thursday afternoon. She turned sideways to make sure that there are no creases before she finally put on her black pumps and walked back to the bedroom.After staying in Bassano for almost two months in his family home, Damian finally decided to bring Sam to Rome with him. It was an emotional goodbye between Sam and Aurora with Sam crying hard that Damian had to reprimand her gently.“Oh, shush, Damian,” Aurora chided as she hugged Sam tightly, rubbing her back. She kissed Sam on her side of the head. “This just tells you that you should visit me more often.”Sam saw Damian rolling his eyes in amusement.They left Bassano del Grappa with his private plane and Sam was still sobbing. Damian finally told her to take her medication to calm herself down. He knew that she had stopped taking them after that dinner with his relat

Damian felt Sam tensed beside him in the dining table as his aunt and uncle’s family each placed a portion of pasta on their plates that night. He glanced down and saw his wife’s hands clenched on her lap underneath the table.“Mmm.. I do miss your pasta, Aurora,” Filomena gushed after sprinkling pepper on top and then bringing her fork to her mouth. “Perhaps you can take a short trip and go back home with me?”“That’s ridiculous,” Marciano interjected gently. “She’s going to have a trip back with her favorite sibling! Me!”Aurora and the others laughed as the two continued to banter.There was silence for a while as they finally tasted the pasta.Damian watched as his uncle and aunt chewed slowly while his wife beside him is already pale and look ready to faint from her worrying. He abruptly reached for Sam’s wine glass and handed it to her.Sam looked at him in surprise.“I’ll drink later,” she murmured as she placed her glass back on the table.“I must say, Aurora,” Marciano starte

Sam’s brows furrowed with concentration as she started to knead the dough, she is doing for the pasta that she’s going to make inside the kitchen of Aurora on a Friday late morning.She could hear her mother-in-law’s voice from the dining area, arguing with Damian while speaking with their family doctor. As they were headed towards the popular Ponte Vecchio, a tourist spot in town, Aurora suddenly felt unwell that Damian called the trip off.Despite Aurora’s insistence that she is fine and pushed him to take Sam to the trip, Sam also made the decision to stay. She does not want to put Damian in the middle.“Oh, dear,” Aurora then said after she sat down.“What is it, mami?” Laura asked, whom Sam finally met three days ago after arriving from France, where she was taking up her master’s degree. “Is something the matter?”“I told Maria that I will be doing the pasta for dinner tonight!” Aurora replied miserably. She tried to stand up but Damian pushed her back down gently and gave her a

Damian stared darkly at the contract that he is currently reviewing in his office at his headquarters in Rome. He clutched the edge of the contract angrily, forgetting that Frederick is inside his office, who now stopped speaking when he heard the paper being crumpled.It is a sunny Wednesday morning with the lights streaming inside his office. It has been two weeks since he arrived in Italy and more than a week of him staying in Rome to cater all the work he needed to do.Sam, to his annoyance, was held up by his mother back at Bassano.“I’m sure Sam has been to Rome several times, Damian,” Aurora pointed out frankly. They were having a light dinner at his mother’s insistence since he’ll be leaving early tomorrow. “And, at this time, the tourists will be flocking all over the world. She doesn’t need to be in that environment.”“Do you think I’m not going to do something about it?” Damian asked angrily. He turned to Sam, who is staring at him patiently. “Just pack light. You can enjoy

Damien pursed his lips as he knocked on his mother’s room late that night. He waited for her to tell him to come in and did, finding her occupying her favorite chair by the side of the opened glass door leading to the balcony and reading a book.“Close the door and take a seat, Damien,” Aurora said calmly, not taking her eyes off the book. “And get that stern look off your face. You know how much I dislike it especially when you will try to tell me off of what I’m doing.”He sat and remained silent, looking at his mother as she finally closed her book and placed it on the table between them and stared back at him. She took her time as she leaned forward, picking up her cup, sipping her tea slowly.“So?” She asked calmly. “Why are you here?”“You’re supposed to be on my side,” he accused lightly. "Why do I have a feeling that you are making me the enemy in this house?!"Aurora just gave him an amused look.“To which, I am but remember that I am on your side,” she countered gently. She
