The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 4

The two men said that Samantha and someone named Mr. Devin were spending time alone in her office. But from what Rue said, Samantha was a loyal woman.

Why would a woman like that do what she was doing? Was there some sort of misunderstanding?

Adrian went up to the office.

***

CEO’s office, the Bailar Group.

A beautiful woman sat in the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. She was elegant and had a pair of long, slender legs that were crossed under the desk.

That was Samantha Cowell.

Her company had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from competitors, and she was accused of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her company away.

That night was her last night at the office. Years of hard work were going to disappear, so she was feeling upset.

“Samantha, have you signed the agreement?”

The door of her office opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He smiled and asked her after walking in.

The man was Devin Williams, the owner of the Williams Group that was a part of Alyanz.

He had always wanted Samantha for himself but she had rejected him multiple times. He had worked together with the cousin of Alyanz’s chairman to force Samantha into a corner.

They made Samantha donate her company away.

“Here’s the agreement. There’s no longer any debt between us.” Samantha stood up when she saw Devin enter and handed the agreement to him. “After midnight, the company will be yours.”

“But before that, you need to leave!” she yelled as she pointed at the door.

Devin did not leave, but instead walked over to the couch and took a seat.

He lit up a cigarette. “Ms. Samantha, you know what I want isn’t your company. What I want is you.”

Devin was obsessed with Samantha’s figure, and his kink was that he was into married women. He knew that Samantha was married and her husband used to be well-known in Swallowston.

“I’ve given you what you want, so stop dreaming. Besides, I’m married.” Samantha stood up and packed her things.

If he was not going to leave, she would. The man disgusted her.

However, Devin said, “Your deadbeat husband is probably dead. Samantha, I’m showing you respect. If I don’t, you’d be nobody.”

He blocked Samantha’s path of exit.

Samantha wanted to ignore him and yelled, “Get out of my way!”

Devin took a drag of his cigarette and smiled. “What if I don’t want to? What are you going to do? You’re not going to win this, Samantha Cowell.

“I have connections throughout Swallowston. Even the legate who arrived today dined with me. There’s no one more powerful than me in this city.”

Devin did not even wince as he lied. He never met the legate anyway.

Samantha did not want to entertain him so she tried to push him away. However, before she could, a voice rang out.

“The legate dined with you? I don’t remember doing that.”

There was a bang and the door was kicked open. Adrian walked in.
