The Black Widow's CEO CHAPTER 50
Sam entered the lobby of her office the following Monday morning and shook her head at Shirley when she saw her secretary about to ask regarding the two bodyguards, which are following her behind.Pushing the door to her office, she immediately proceeded to her desk and sat down.“Did Damian give instructions for you to stay here?” She questioned tightly when she noted that Noah and Brandon, the other guard assigned to her stood by the door. She frowned when Noah turned to her and nodded briefly. “Pray tell me how I can be able to escape? The only way is through those glass and I have no plans in jumping.”“We will stand by outside your office, Mrs. McLaren,” Noah finally responded and the two of them immediately went out.Sam leaned back on her chair, closing her eyes.Ever since telling Damian that she wanted divorce, she had the two men following her wherever she goes even if she is just at the Stratham mansion. She tried talking to Damian, but her husband seemed to have disappeare

Sam stared at the file on her hand intently while gripping it with her hand tightly.Thoughts of what transpired between her and Damian came flooding back into her mind as the memory of her insisting on the figures for the ROI surfaced. She recalled the lengths she had to go through for Damian to finally agree.“Who the f8ck are you?!” Lucilla shouted at the bodyguards angrily. She turned to Sam. “Oh, so you now have the arrogance to hire bodyguards to protect you, Sam?! Do you really think you have a lot of threats that you need protecting?! It should be the other way around because they are the ones that needs protection from you!”He’s doing this on purpose, Sam thought wildly, not hearing Lucilla’s continuous rant. Is this the hell that he told me?Unable to control her emotions, Sam felt her body trembling, her knees starting to get weak. The file she held in her hand suddenly dropped to the floor and Noah turned towards her when he felt it.“Madam?” He asked in concern.Sam look

Damien took a drink from his glass as he looked at his watch and saw that there’s still ten minutes more before the clock turns six in the evening. He reached for his phone when a message notified.He read the message from his mother, asking him when he will be coming back to Italy.“We just talked a few days ago, mami,” Damien then said when he placed a call and his mother immediately answered. “I told you that I’m just finishing some works here. I’ll try to make them quicker than what I had told you.”“No, Damien,” Aurora insisted firmly. “I am giving you a week more to come here with Mrs. Cameron. She needs a new environment with her current condition.”Gripping his phone tightly, Damien leaned his elbows on the table.“Who told you?”“Does it matter, Damien?” His mother answered casually. She made some tsking sound at the other end of the line. “Why do sons always underestimate their mothers when they come to a certain age? Most of you prefer that we enjoy our retirement.”“As you

Samantha stood quietly beside Damien after he helped her out of the car when they arrived in his hometown, Bassano del Grappa on a sunny Tuesday morning. She listened as Damien gave instructions to his men and the staff that waited at the entrance of the house.Gunny is also being brought down from the second car and he immediately run to Sam, making sure that she is okay. Sam went down on one knee and rubbed Gunny’s face lovingly before she told him to go with Vivian for his meal.“Mami’s inside,” he said to her gently, helping her up and placed a hand on her back and pushed her lightly to walk with him. He looked down at her and noted her calm expression. “You have nothing to be afraid of.”Upon entering the living area, the room is bright due to the windows immersed with the surrounding greenery. The room designed reflected a perfect combination of rustic/historic finishes and latest generation materials.A tall, white-haired woman with striking, blue eyes was sitting on a comforta

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

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

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 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 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

Damian watched as Sam hugged Nile and Candice Robertson tearfully and warmly in the driveway after his surprise guests for her got out of the car that same night as they stood waiting at the entrance as the car stopped in front of them.He watched as Candice studied his wife with a big smile on her face while Nile is responding the questions being asked. Their grown children along with their partners and children, surrounding them with smiles on their faces.After she told him the name of the foster family that took her in the longest and seemed to have a place in her heart, Damian had Frederick look for them. It took a while for his secretary to locate but he considered it to be a blessing. Their timely arrival is perfect to help her from her grief.But deep down, Damian knew that she’s going to be okay from now on.He smiled devilishly inside as he recalled what happened inside her room. He was relieved to feel that Sam had also longed and desired for him. Nearly six months of holdi

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. He looked at her for a while, gauging her mo
