Flash Marriage: President's Seduction

In the busy place of Taylor's financial services, Samantha was sincerely checking all her official mails and responding to them carefully one after another. Simultaneously she was also helping her fellow colleagues to complete their assigned tasks. Her personal mobile buzzed, she ignored it completely with a thought of not using the personal mobile during working hours. She is sincere and a dedicated worker.

Samantha Jones, a 24 years old woman with an epitome of beauty and brains. Her fair delicate skin, with big brown eyes, a small dimple on her right cheeks and brown blonde hair enhanced her beauty. She may not exactly look like a Hollywood model but, still she is indeed a perfect beautiful woman who looks great in her own way. She has completed her Master's in administration and for the past one and half years she has been working for Mr.Taylor's Financial services. She is a personal assistant to Mr. Thomas Taylor, the CEO. And also she became one of the most trusted employees of Mr.Thomas Taylor, within a short span of time.

Samantha sincerely worked hard to earn such trust and respect from Mr. Thomas. Undoubtedly she is a good employee and a smart worker in her work place. So, everyone appreciates and respects her.

Though she gets elated about her professional life, her personal life is kind of gloomy. She struggled and suffered a lot from her young age, which changed her into a tough woman. Her miserable life taught her a few things.

It was "Not to trust anyone and Not to betray anyone " she was just stuck to that and carried her life with a rough and rigid heart. She completely lost respect for relationships, refused to give a chance to anyone and suppressed all her emotions in her heart long ago. She had slowly turned into an introverted person in her personal life due to her worst experiences.

Samantha cleaned her table, arranged everything tidy and moved out from her desk to Mr. Thomas' room. She knocked at the door a couple of times and asked politely with a smile creeping on her face, " May I come in Sir??".

Next moment she heard a reply from the man who was sitting inside, of course he was Mr. Thomas Taylor, " Yes come in ".

Gently she pushed the door and walked inside the room professionally, her eyes fixed on her boss Mr. Thomas, who was seated at his desk.

"I'm moving out to have my lunch," she informed him formally.

"Is there anything else you'd like to get for you on my way back after lunch??" asked Samantha.

Mr. Thomas looked up at her from the file which he was checking over just a minute ago and instantly his frown turned into a gentle smile.

Mr. Thomas Taylor, is a good hearted kind man, he is a well mannered aged man in his late sixties. He knew to respect people and their talents. His head was partially bald, only little of his hair is left on either side, some are black and some are white.

Samantha always feels lucky about the interview day, where he gave her a chance and hired her for his personal assistant job. Because she left her previous job in a very short time due to the cringe behavior of her old boss. During that time Mr.Thomas gave her this job despite her inexperience in financial services and helped her to grow up to become a better employee. She believed strongly that his advice and his guidance had made her what she is today. So ,she is always respectful and grateful to Mr. Thomas Taylor.

Breaking the silence suddenly she heard a voice, "No, no, I'm fine," he answered calmly. "You can enjoy your lunch Samantha and let me know as soon as you return"

"Okay " Samantha said, nodding my head.

Immediately she turned back and closed the door,without a sound. She was wondering why he wanted to meet her after lunch. Casually she picked her handbag and walked straight away towards the elevator.

Later on she shrugged her own thoughts and convinced herself that it was probably something he wanted to discuss officially or he wanted her to take care of some office work. Finally she thought he would let her know once she returned after lunch and walked away.

She walked towards the end of the floor and reached Emily, a colleague of Samantha. She waved her right hand at a pregnant Emily, and gently asked her, " How do you feel today?? "

She rubs her bulging tummy with a grimace and said "Is there any day better than some?? Always heartburn, swollen feet, and several trips to the bathroom. I just want my baby to come out soon" said Emily with a smile.

Yikes!! " Really I wish you to deliver your baby soon as well as safely" said Samantha.

"By the way, I'm going out for lunch, do you want me to fetch up anything for you??" Samantha asked Emily.

" Wow!! That's so sweet of you Sam. If you don't mind, can you get me some fresh juice?? I'm a little tired" said Emily.

" Sure I will " Samantha said with a sweet gesture and walked towards the elevator to go down. Her office building is twenty five storeys, so she needs an elevator to get down.

Samantha went inside the elevator and pressed the button to go to the ground floor. Meanwhile she wondered about motherhood. She can't imagine how any woman would suffer and tolerate so much pain after getting pregnant till the delivery. She thought they have to undergo so many changes internally as well as externally.

As a woman she can understand this through Emily; she was transformed from a size zero to XXL. Her pregnancy also gives her acne, tension, mood swings, even though she is a sweet woman, sometimes now she acts snappish or bursts into tears without any big reason.

"Will I also undergo the same pain as her??" She asked herself. Then she answered her own question firmly, " No way "

Absolutely from her point of view, there is no idea for her to get into motherhood, it will be quite impossible. Getting pregnant, making a family is not in her mind and besides that a man should be also involved to become pregnant and she doesn't have such a man in her life. Because she doesn't have a boyfriend or a companion, not only now but also in future she doesn't wish to have one. Most importantly, she doesn't trust any man and would accept him in her life.

Once there was a person in her life, he was Joshua, whom she dated in her high school for a short period. But, it didn't create such a spark in her, before she could realise what is Love?? Things turned upside down in her life and her relationship ended abruptly after she got shifted to another high school.

Still now she was not bothered about not being in a relationship, and not interested in being in a romantic relationship. Later on she started to plunge into her studies, then her work to build her successful career. And that's how she ended up in Thomas's Financial services.

All of a sudden her mobile buzzed once again, she realised that she got a few more messages sometimes back on her personal mobile. Immediately she opened her handbag and took her mobile out. By that time she reached the ground floor and the door was opened.

Samantha was checking her messages and walked out from the elevator without looking up, suddenly she hit a hard wall and bounced back.

Oops!! She was about to fall down on her knees by losing her balance. Instantly that wall extended its strong arms and saved her before she hit her head on the floor. She stumbled and held that man's arms for support.

"I'm so sorry..." Samantha tried to apologize for her careless behaviour, but her eyes were widened in shock,her throat became dry all of a sudden. She couldn't believe her own eyes, she blinked twice to confirm whether what she was seeing was true or not. How come he is here?? She is stunned,her face flushed.

Her lips muttered shockingly looking at the stranger, " You..???"

He smirked at her flushed face and said mockingly, " Is it habitual for you to bump at me and fall in my arms??"

Her flushed face turned more flush now, she burnt in anger and couldn't believe what she heard. She thought how can he accuse her?'' She gritted her teeth in anger and jerked him away furiously.

" How dare you accuse me like this??" stormed Samantha. He didn't expect her to push him away suddenly and so he slipped slightly but managed to stand firm. His eyes shrunk and went deeper than usual. It shows a deadly warning to her, which means really dangerous. With a sudden pull he held her right-arm, squeezed it tightly, his eyes went deeper, his face turned cold and expressed his anger. She looked damn shocked at his outrageous behaviour. Her eyes widened in shock looking at his cold stone face.

The flashes of their first meeting came into her mind, unknowingly she trembled , reminiscing the stranger's strong aura. She asked herself how can a person humiliate her without a reason?? Nothing was her mistake, she already proved him then, why the hell does he behave rudely to her??

To Be Continued....

"Hey what are you doing??" Samantha yelled. " Leave me...leave my hands, it's hurting" Samantha muttered in pain as well as anger. Her lips trembled, she tried hard to control her tears to not come out in front of that stranger. She tried hard to remove her arm from his clutches but it was not possible for her, which she understood later.

He was six feet tall with broad shoulders and a strong aura. His eyes were dark, but they were sparkling like an eagle was holding her like a prey. His gigantic strong arms were undisturbed by her efforts, she felt agitated and cursed herself for bumping into that monster. As time passed she felt lost and tear droplets escaped from her eyes unknowingly.

He was watching her keenly and all her efforts to get released from his clutches. Finally he saw tears rolling down on her cheeks and left her arms freely. She rubbed the place he held to subside it's pain, and looked at him angrily.

" Mind your steps. Get lost " He said sharply and walked ahead towards the elevator. She tightened her fist to control her temper and stared at his back by gritting her teeth.

After a few steps he turned back for a moment, looked at her eyes with a smirk and went inside the elevator. Samantha fumed in anger and rushed out of the building. The moment she stepped out, a cool breeze touched her face and brushed away her tension. She felt a little relaxed and started to walk further towards the restaurant where she usually goes.

" Is it habitual for you to bump at me and fall in my arms??" his sharp words echoed in her ears again and again mercilessly. She tried to ignore his unreasonable behaviour but she couldn't.

She asked herself, "Why was he so rude to her for such a small mistake?? She didn't do anything intentionally. Then why did he humiliate her?? How come he can disrespect her without any reason??" She felt worried and started to reminisce about their first meeting.

A Couple Of Days Ago....

Samantha went to the pub with one of her childhood besties, Jenny, to celebrate. Samantha wore a black pencil skirt with peach colour blouse with black buttons, she left her hair loose to fall on her tender shoulders, and a simple earring which made her look beautiful without any make up and she glowed in every possible way.

Though Samantha is an introvert she shared a very good bond with few people and one among them was Jenny. She knew everything about Samantha and supported her through thick and thin.

Jenny will be getting hitched soon so friends went to celebrate their happiness. It was Jenny' s idea to give her a party in the City club, which is one of the famous clubs of that city. Jenny saved all her earnings for her family and is finally going to marry her longtime love.

" Hey Sam, today will be my treat, enjoy this night " exclaimed Jenny happily and hugged her bestie Samantha. Both shared a bear hug and Samantha wished her friend a new start with a happy face.

Shortly after that they both started to drink together, Samantha drank a little red wine as usual. But Jenny gets over excited and drinks a lot.

" Sam, you know something?? It's cool to get married and settle down, I want to see you soon settled like me" said Jenny. Samantha's smile faded away instantly, her forehead had frowns and eyes were so deep. It shows her unexpressed pain.

"Sam, if you want I can introduce my cousin to you, first date with him and then you decide" Jenny gave an idea. Samantha gets pissed off and asks her to stop blabbering.

" Hey, don't think I'm blabbering since I'm drinking. I always wanted you to settle down. Forget the past, please move on, Sam. See now I'm going to get engaged. You should also think about your future. This would be the right time I feel" Jenny advised. Samantha remained silent recollecting her bitter past about her abusive father, who left her mother for another woman.

" Sam, you are a beautiful woman, you have a job, you are earning decently, then what is more you are waiting for?? Are you still scared about relationships?? " asked Jenny without beating the bush.

Sam gets tensed hearing her words. She knows well whatever Jenny said was true.

" Sam, marriage will not be a nightmare for everyone. It will be more pleasant and happy than you imagine. Don't think every man is the same as your father" said Jenny holding Samantha's hand. At that moment Samantha was broken in tears, she couldn't hold herself when she heard about her father. She cried thinking about her pathetic life once again, she clearly remembered how her abusive father hurt her mother physically and left them both alone for a second woman.

" Hey Sam, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't cry, I feel bad, " said Jenny in guilt. Samantha realised that Jenny felt guilty and controlled her emotions like she always did.

" Hey, dude it's ok. I'm fine,you don't feel bad" said Samantha to convince Jenny. Still she looked sad for making her bestie cry.

" My dear Jenny, listen carefully now you are soon to be bride, then it will spoil your growing beauty. Then how can I apologise to Jack?? He will screw me for making his fiance cry" said Samantha and winked her eyes naughty. After hearing her boyfriend Jack's name Jenny blushed.

" Ok... now this is for the lovely new couple Jenny and Jack. Cheers...." Samantha says excitedly and drinks more wine to cheer up her friend, Jenny too gets excited and drinks more.

" Sam, have I wanted to ask you one-thing, did you ever get mesmerized seeing a man??" Samantha stared at her angrily.

" No... No... this time I'm not talking about marriage, I simply asked. If you don't want to say leave it, but don't get annoyed" said Jenny before Samantha acted.

Samantha was quiet for a moment and said calmly, "Never". Jenny was surprised and asked her " Really?? I can't believe it"

Samantha looked at her and said, "That's not my problem. If you talk about this once again I will leave then".

" Ok..ok.. cool, I won't talk about this" said Jenny and murmured silently " I wish soon she should see a man who could break her barricades and give her love and happiness "

" None can do that, " said Samantha firmly, Jenny looked stunned and asked surprised "Sam, how did you know what I thought?? See we are true friends, you can read my mind " Jenny smiled sheepishly and had a sip of wine.

Samantha laughed louder and said, " You spoke louder, it was not your mind voice as you thought. My dumb girl, grow up"

With a sudden jerk Jenny spit the wine at Samantha's attire, both were shocked. Jenny reacted first and said "I'm sorry Sam... I'm so sorry. Let me clean it " Jenny said, spoilt Samantha's dress more in a drunken state. Samantha gets worried and asks Jenny to stop it.

" Jenny, it's fine I will go to the washroom and clean it myself. You don't get bothered, I will be back in a few minutes" said Samantha and walked towards the washroom.

It was a weekend so the pub was crowded with youngsters. Samantha was here for the very first time, she found it difficult to find the washroom. Finally she found it with the help of a waitress and went that way.

All of a sudden a drunken man pushed her, she lost her balance and trembled with her broken heels and fell on the person's arms who was seated on the couch.

Samantha gets stunned seeing a man so close, this was the first time in her life. His face was so close to hers, she could feel his warm breaths brushing her face, she gulped nervously. His blue eyes stared at her brown eyes intensely. His eyes made him look unique, his jaws were sharp, his lips were tightened and so attractive too. Though he looked handsome, I don't know why?? I could feel that he hadn't smiled recently or for years. His eyes were so deep that none could understand his mind. Even people would have gotten scared to come near him because of his dangerous aura.

" Wow!! What is this?? You guys are so romantic. Danie you gave me a surprise" James Miller exclaimed happily by holding his girlfriend Freeda in one hand and another thrust into his trousers pocket.

After hearing James's voice, both Samantha and Daniel regained their senses. Samantha looked at Daniel's rigid face,she was so embarrassed, her face turned pink. She tried to get up from his arms immediately ,almost she jumped out from his strong arms and stood dumb embarrassed. Daniel to get up following her.

" Hey Danie!! I thought I would surprise you by introducing my girlfriend to you but you did it man. I'm totally happy to see your selection. Congrats Danie "said James happily and extended his hands.

" Shut up," Daniel said deeply, looking at James. Immediately he remained quiet. Samantha flinched and looked at him shocked. By that time his eyes were also on her, and it was fumes in anger.

" Who the hell are you?? Who sent you here??" Sneered Daniel Miller.

To Be Continued....

Samantha was in utter shock, she couldn't come out of it so soon, this man has misunderstood and accused her of being unreasonable.

She jerked her hand from his hold and said annoyed, " Mr, it was an accident, someone pushed me in the crowd, and so I lost my balance.I don't have any intentions, none sent me. And I'm really sorry for bothering you "

Daniel looked at her in disbelief, his eyes were dark, he looked complicated and asked her " Why should I trust you??"

Samantha gets more irked, she thinks this man is despicable, she rubs her temple and spits the word," That's not my problem". She turned back to leave the place.

Daniel's face became more complicated than before. " I'm not going to let you go until you tell your identity " said Daniel and dragged Samantha out of that place. James and Freda looked clueless and followed the other two.

" Hey man leave me, I told you it was by mistake, really you misunderstood me. I'm not the person you think of. Let me go! Please listen to me once! " Samantha shouted and tried hard to get released from him.

Daniel became deaf and dumb all the while, he went to the private suite and threw her directly on the couch there. She lost her temper and yet slap him.

But Daniel was one step ahead and held her hand tightly, she struggled to release her hand. His eyes shrunk, lips tightened and his face darkened, he looked terrified.. His grip tightened on her wrist and she started to feel pain. He spat " How dare you raise your hand?? Today you will get your lesson "

He stared at her, she too stared at him. Her eyes filled with anger and turned red as a fireball, but she controlled it with difficulty and warned him to leave her hand.

By the time James and Freeda enter the suite, they get stunned by the other two. Freeda gets scared seeing Daniel's attitude towards Samantha, she pulls James' hand sleeves secretly and gestured to him to do something. James, who was in shock all the while, reacted now.

He shouted, " Danie, what are you doing?? Leave her "

But Daniel was unaffected,he remained silent, his eyes fixed on Samantha. He thought she was sent by one of his enemies. Slowly Samatha's face flushed in pain she endured, her wrist started to burn with his tight grip.

She muttered, " Believe me, I don't know who you are?? My name is Samantha Jones, I just came with my friend to celebrate her upcoming wedding. She is down and waiting for me". Samantha's eyes pleaded to believe her, anyone would have melted seeing her sorrow.

But Daniel?? He is obviously not someone to believe others at ease. He didn't let her go and still held her wrist. James and Freda felt bad for her and tried to convince Daniel. They asked him to leave her hand, but Daniel stood as a deaf. His eyes were too sharp to face, and sometimes Samantha got startled.

" If you don't believe my words you can check with my friend, she will tell the truth"said Samantha. But Daniel didn't react, still his eyes were dark and it gave off a bad vibe. She looked away disappointed and gritted her teeth angrily.

" What the hell do you want, man ?? If you don't believe me then at least give me a chance to prove that you are wrong. Why are you troubling me" yelled Samantha.

" Danie, let me bring her friend. We can give her a chance to prove herself, what if she is really innocent?? But if she was wrong let us deal with her in our way" said James and went down without waiting for Daniel's answer.

Freeda saw Samantha's flushed face and got worried, she said " Brother Daniel, she can't escape from this room until her truth is out, at least leave her hand."

Daniel refused to listen to Freda, he gave her a cold look and asked her to stay out of it. He said nonchalantly , " This is my business, stay out ". She pursed her lips after his cold gaze.

But by using this time Samantha bit his finger and pushed him away vigorously. Daniel lost his balance and fell on the couch with her unexpected attack. Freda gets worried and asks him " Brother Daniel, are you fine". He nods his head and stands up on his knees. His temper rises, he fumes, " You little brat, you crossed the line"

Samantha tries to escape from that room after pushing away Daniel, but he catches her before she steps out and locks her between his strong arms. He caged her between his torso and the wall, atlast he held her both the hands and clasped them behind her.

He was only a few inches away from her, almost their clothes brushed against each other. Her breath touched his chin, her soft plumpy lips trembled, her hair was messy but she looked so attractive. He looked at her brown eyes deeply, and she did the same. He felt something strange, neither could he take his eyes from her eyes nor could he see her eyes.

All of a sudden the door opened and James brought Jenny with him. " Danie, I think she is right, you can ask this woman. But I'm afraid whether she will answer properly, she is fully drunk " James gestured towards Jenny.

" Jenny?? Is it you?? " Freeda flabbergasted and went on to hug Jenny. Everyone in the room gets surprised and looks at them, including Samantha. Danie's grip loosened; using that chance, Samantha pushed him hard and went towards Jenny and Freda.

James asked, " Freeda, do you know this woman??" Jenny nods her head and about to say something she was interrupted by Samantha.

" Jenny, are you alright?? I'm afraid that you would pass out in my absence, did you drink again??" Asked, Samantha worried.

"Hey Sam,why did you take so long to return?? I thought you met your man, lying on his arms and forgot me " said Jenny with the effects of alcohol. Samantha gets shocked and grits her teeth. James and Freda grinned, reminiscing Samantha on Daniel's arms a few minutes ago.She also noticed a mockery in Daniel's eyes, which boiled her blood more.

" I'm sparing you only because you are a new bride, otherwise I would have made you hospitalized. Stop your nonsense Jenny" said Samantha and clenched her teeth. But Jenny was not in the state to listen.

" Do you know these girls??" Asked Daniel, looking at Freeda. She was quiet for a second and observed both the girls.

" Brother Daniel, Jenny will be my sister in law soon, next week she will get engaged with my elder brother Jack" said Freda calmly. Then her eyes went towards Samantha and explained, " But I don't have any idea about this girl ".

Now everyone turned toward Samantha, she got tensed and said, " Don't look at me like this. We are childhood friends. I came to wish and celebrate her wedding with this girl but she had troubled me a lot by spitting wine at my clothes. I was searching for a washroom to clean it then everything happened". Samantha tried to explain her situation.

Including Daniel, everyone looked at her untidy wine strained clothes and felt her explanation was reasonable. But still Daniel looked at her suspiciously, she got irked and said, " Jenny is not in the situation to explain, if you still doubt me you should check with Mr.Jack Brown. He knew me well as Jenny's bestie and we came here to partying" said Samantha looking at Daniel.

" Do you know my brother Jack??" Freeda asked, surprised. Samantha looked at her gently and said with a polite smile,

" Yes Ms. Fredea Brown, even Jack said a lot about you. I'm glad to see you". Immediately Freeda's face brightened proudly and extended her hands to Samantha.

" Call your brother Jack, " said Daniel interrupting Freeda and Samantha's conversation. He observed Samantha keenly. She looked annoyed.

James signalled Freeda to call her brother. Immediately Freeda called her brother and put it on speaker to let everyone hear. The call connected at the other end,

" Hello...."

"Brother Jack..."

" Yeah tell me Freeda, what's up??"

" Did you know anyone as Samantha??"

After a small pause Jack replied, " Yes I know she is Jenny's best friend. Even today they went to City club"

" Oh...ok.." Said Freeda looking at Daniel and James. Daniel's face changed a little. Samantha smirked at him.

" Everything alright??" Jack asked worried.

" Nothing to worry brother Jack, I will explain to you later. Now I'm with James, will meet you at home, bye!! " said Freeda and disconnected the call.

" Are all your doubts cleared now?? Shall I leave??" Asked Samantha, gritting her teeth. Daniel didn't say a word, he thrusted his hands into his trousers pocket and walked towards the window. Samantha didn't understand his behaviour and got irked.

James came forward and said " We apologise to you Samantha, I understand it's a complete coincidence. You can go now".

Samantha fumed at Daniel who stood like he was not related to any. For a simple matter he blew and pushed her in trouble, but he was not ready to apologize for his misbehaviour. What kind of man is he?? Such an egoistic rich brat, Samantha scolded him in her mind.

" Sam... Sam..." Jenny murmured. Samantha gets worried about her and chooses to leave the place before Daniel creates another mess. James and Freda helped her to move Jenny to her car. Before she left she gave a killing glance at Daniel, stamping her foot and then closed the door, he too didn't fail to notice. A lazy smirk came out from him thinking about the woman who had just left.
