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 folded his clothes neatly the following day after taking a hot shower and putting on his clothes. He picked up his phone on the dresser and saw messages from Vittoria, informing him that she has to fly overseas for a meeting in three days. She then relayed that she looks forward seeing him since she’ll be in the country for a couple of days.His mouth formed into a tight, thin line at the timing of her travel. He replied to her message before going out of the room, bringing his bag. His mind started to cursed the wrong timing of things with Vittoria’s impending arrival and Sam’s stubbornness to sell her shares. Added to that as well is his overwhelming desire to bed her.Sam is coming in from the front door when he took the last step down, letting Gunny off the leash while a paper bag is hanging around one arm. She is also in a coordinated dark blue active wear paired with black running shoes.“You could have mentioned last night that you’ll be out for a run,” Damian scoffed, g

    Two Weeks Later…Sam strolled around the mall, looking at the shops’ storefront display and smiling politely at the staff inviting her to come inside on a Saturday morning. She finally entered a bookstore and thanked the person, helping her with the shopping bags she is carrying.“Do you need some help with a certain book, Mrs. Cameron?” The staff then asked, knowing that she often goes there. “We have some new arrivals at the children’s section.”“Thanks. Please have a cart on standby there already. I’ll browse for a while before heading there,” Sam answered softly. She felt her phone ringing inside her bag and after walking towards the shelves, she pulled it out and saw Vanessa calling. “Hey, I’m in a bookshop.”“Such an old soul,” Vanessa commented in amusement. “At the age of tablet, you still prefer reading a book.”“As well as removing the packing and smelling the fresh pages,” she continued with a laugh that made Sam laugh as well. “Anyway, do you want to join us for dinner lat

    “I want you to meet my partner, Samantha. We’ve been dating for quite some time and I’m just visiting for a few days,” Vittoria introduced as she walked back to Damian and hooked her arm around his. She leaned on him comfortably with a smile on her face. “Damian McLaren. I’m sure you’ve heard about him. He’s building a shopping center at upper downtown.”Sam took a deep breath and let out a polite smile.“Please to meet you, Mr. McLaren,” she said politely as she stepped forward.“Sorry. I didn’t ask for your full name a while ago,” Vittoria apologized lightly.Damian opened his mouth to say something but Sam beat him to it.“Kingsley,” she answered, cutting him off and using her maiden name. She saw the staff who knew her giving her a sad look that made her slightly raise her chin up. “Samantha Kingsley.”“Yes. Cheri, meet Samantha Kingsley,” Vittoria reintroduced with a smile. “She helped picked and recommended these books I’m bringing back for Lucio. He’s definitely going to love t

    Damian just ended his conference call when Frederick entered his office with some files that he had been asked to bring on a Wednesday morning.“I have the budget files of the finishes per floor,” Frederick started as he placed down the documents on his desk. He then took his Ipad tucked underneath his arm and stood ready for his instructions. He hesitated for a while but finally decided to continue talking. “Sir, there’s a folder there that contains the deed for the shares on Cameron.”“Did she have her attorney’s office send the same offer again?!” Damian asked with irritation as he checked the folder. “Didn’t I said to throw it immediately when another one will be sent?!”Frederick looked at him calmly.“It’s your offer, Mr. McLaren.”Damian narrowed his eyes and opened the folder that Frederick had pushed towards him. He scanned the contents to confirm that indeed it was his offer to buy Samantha Cameron’s shares.Flipping back to the first page, he immediately noted that Samantha

    Sam stared up into Damian’s eyes through tears. She clenched the sheets with one hand while the other balled into a fist.Damian saw her action and before she could say anything, he bent down and captured her lips, kissing her softly. His lips at first gently moved over hers before it started to slowly coaxed her to kiss him back.When Sam finally kissed him back, Damian pulled her face closer and parted his lips. The tip of his tongue slowly grazed the outline of her lips before he started nibbling on her lower lip lightly. His kisses started to become demanding, persuading her to part her lips.Damian finally decided to travel his lips down her throat and moved to her neck when Sam didn’t give in. His one hand traveled around her waist while the other one reached for her hand, wrapping it around his neck.Slowly, he pushed her down the bed as he kissed her again passionately.“No,” she whispered, turning her head to the side that his mouth landed on the bottom of her ear.

    Damian shifted in his seat inside the car that fetched him and Sam at the airport when the chauffeur informed that they’re almost at their villa at The North Coast. After almost a sixteen-hour flight, they have finally arrived at Menorca at half past ten in the evening.In the last few remaining hours of the flight, Sam finally stopped him from sweet-talking her and told him that she’s going to rest. She went to the plane’s lavatory and came back to her seat already in comfortable wear. He watched her turn to her side and closed her eyes.All throughout the flight, Damian kept a light conversation with her despite her projecting a heavy aura towards him. He showed her the sights he plans to take her to see, the yacht trips he had booked for them. Sam would only either nod and just gave a short answer.Damian knew what she is doing and he let her have his way during the flight. Once they arrived in Menorca, he will make sure that he will be getting what he wants.“Sam?” Damian called o

    Sam opened her eyes the following day and turned towards the balcony, watching the sun’s rays breaking through the sheer curtains. She smiled at the simple beauty that she is looking at before checking the time and saw the clock read eight in the morning.Turning slowly towards Damian, she saw him still in a deep sleep, his shoulders rising gently with his breathing.She looked at him lovingly, memorizing his features.Raising her hand, she lightly traced his eyebrows down to his cheek and his lips. She remembered his lips that explored her body last night and how she loved every second of it.She looked at her hand with the engagement ring that Damian had given her and smiled, touched that he even considered the color scale of the blue diamond which is faint blue. It would go perfectly with whatever hues that she will be wearing.“You’re everything to me, Sam,” Damian confessed to her last night after he made love to her. “The thought of losing you made me go crazy. I’m never going t

    Sam placed down her brush and carefully checked that she had tied her hair neatly, turning to both sides. Turning towards her bed, she walked towards it and untied the ribbon of the box that was placed on top.She removed the lid and it revealed a lilac butterfly sleeveless high waist irregular swing midi dress. After putting it on, Sam walked towards the full-length mirror beside the dresser and smiled when she noted that the intricate silhouette flattered her figure and the fabric is very light. She also made sure that the breast pads are in place since it looks better without wearing a bra.She had also noted that the dress is in her favorite color and she assumed Ara had made that decision. Taking her phone, she took a picture and sent it to Ara.“Thanks for helping Damian choose the dress,” she typed with a light smile. “As always, you know my color. The dress feels wonderful.”She placed her phone down while seeing Ara typing a reply and put on a pair of low-heeled sandals that

    Damian handed his bag to one of his bodyguards and a box to one household staff with instructions, as he went out from his car on an early Wednesday night and proceeded towards the entrance at Stratham. He immediately took off his coat, unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt and loosen his tie.“Where’s my wife?” He asked when Winston greeted him while checking his phone. “How is she doing? Has she eaten?”“At the garden by the pool, sir,” Winston replied. “Madam barely ate her lunch but I convinced her to eat the fruit bowl I gave this afternoon.”“We’ll have dinner in an hour with guests. Frederick already coordinated with the chef,” Damian informed, nodding at the butler’s response. He pocketed his phone after answering a message. “Call him as well. I had him do something and needs to coordinate with you.”“Right away, Mr. McLaren,” Winston answered.Damian then headed towards the glass doors and pushed it open, his eyes searching for Sam. He found her sitting by one of the loun

    Sam heard her phone ringing as Damian handed his card to the waiter after they are done with their meal. She reached for it inside her purse and saw Vivian calling her, showing it to Damian before answering.“Vivian, is anything wrong?” Sam asked after answering the call.“Madam, we are on our way to the vet right now,” Vivian answered calmly. “There’s something wrong with Gunny. I already informed Mr. McLaren’s driver so he can immediately take you there.”She gripped her phone, her face turning pale.“Everything okay with Gunny?” Damian asked.Sam shook her head, abruptly standing up and grabbing her purse. Tears started to well up around her eyes that her husband immediately noticed that he stood up as well and took her hand, heading out of the dining room.After giving instructions to one of his men to take care of their billing, he quickly ushered Sam to the car, who is already waiting for them.“Here,” Damian offered, handing his handkerchief to her.Sam took it and wipe her eye

    Damian watched Sam as she walked ahead of him to check some local goods bazaar being held at downtown. He noted that Noah and Brandon immediately went closer to her for easier access in case of emergency.After their conversation a while ago, his heart felt lighter but also quite heavy.Sam looked at him in confused after he told her that he loves her.“What did you say?” She asked slowly.Damian just stared at her for a while before blinking, realizing he uttered it in Italian and in a low voice. He shook his head before looking at her again, placing a hand on her face and smiled. He didn’t know if she understood him or not but if she did, she asked to make sure that she heard him right.“Did you say-?” Sam started.He cut her off by pulling her face down and pressing his lips on hers in a hungry kiss. He wrapped his other arm tighter around her waist, deepening the kiss when she kissed him back with the same intensity.He didn’t know how long they stayed in that position. All Damian

    Sam opened her eyes to a dim room, feeling heavy. Her eyes ached as she cried herself to sleep and also taking her medication, when Damian all of a sudden walked out on her when she begged him not to take Cameron away from her.She looked towards the balcony and saw that the curtains had been closed to prevent the light from coming in. She reached for her phone and saw that it was nine in the evening.Checking her messages, she saw none that came from Damian and her heart dropped and felt heavier. A whimper came out of her mouth.“Are you alright?”Gasping in shock, she turned towards the other side and saw Damian, lying beside her on top of her blanket, looking up at her.He was still in his work clothes and only removed his coat and shoes and unbuttoning his polo at the top.Damian reached for her one arm and pulled her back down. When she is on her side, he then immediately pulled her in his arms, pushing her face into his neck and resting his chin on her head. He let out a long an

    Damian gripped Sam’s shoulders tightly as he deepened the kiss, to make her stop struggling away from him. He bit her lower lip to get her to cooperate and when he finally felt her relax, he ran the tip of his tongue to soothe the sting.When they finally pulled away, Sam rested her forehead on his shoulder, breathing heavily. Her hands are clutching at his shirt tightly and suddenly her breath hitched as she started to cry.He only stood, his arms wrapping around her and let her cries out. Her tears soaked his shirt but he didn’t mind and let her continue.“Feeling better?” Damian asked when she finally became silent.Samantha shook her head.“I-I wanted to smashed the glass I’m holding at Omar’s head when he invited me to go up,” she whimpered as she covered her face with her hands. “I feel sick and wanted to throw up when he touched me. I wasn’t entertaining his advances as you claimed.”“Were you also judging me when SJ hugged me that night at the charity gala? Did you think of th

    Opening her eyes and removing the blanket over her head, Sam checked the clock and saw it displaying twelve minutes past ten in the morning. Finally deciding to get up, she padded to the bathroom and took a quick shower.After putting on her clothes, she went out of her room, hearing Gunny’s bark from outside, probably from the exercise Vivian is tasked to do.“Good morning, Madam.” Frederick greeted.“Hasn’t Damian come down yet?” Sam asked.Frederick looked at her for a while. “Mr. McLaren left before I arrived and told me to stay here when I called him,” he answered patiently. He followed behind when she proceeded to the dining room, stopping when Sam glanced at him. “He will call me if there are any urgent concerns.”Sam fully turned towards him; her eyebrows raised.“He told you to babysit me, didn’t he?” She questioned tightly. “I don’t need one.”“He told me to tell you that when you will ask of his whereabouts,” he responded calmly.
