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 Bar 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.
Herpany had been kicked out of the Alyanz Chamber of Commerce because of sabotage from
competitors, and she was used of wrongdoing. To avoid going to jail, she was forced to give her
company away.
That night was herst 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 herpany 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, thepany 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 yourpany. 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.
Devin saw him and immediately frowned. “Who are you? Have you met the man?”

Adrian ignored Devin and walked up to Samantha.
She saw someone enter and was curious about who it was, so she took a closer look at him. She could
not recognize him as thest time she saw him was seven years ago, and she had only spent two days
with him.
Adrian recognized her though. He would always remember her face.
“Samantha, do you remember me?” Adrian asked as he touched her face.
Samantha was surprised. She took a good long look at him after he said that.
Suddenly, a sh of recognition went through her mind and she froze. “A-Adrian?”
Samantha recognized the healthy-looking face and familiar expressions. It was her husband, Adrian
Xander!
She started tearing up.
“Sam, it’s me, I’m back.” Adrian excitedly said.
Samantha was shocked. Her tears started falling and she covered her mouth. She could not believe
her eyes. This was the man that she had been thinking about day and night.
Seven years. It had been seven years!
“Aren’t you ashamed toe back?” Samantha suddenly pped him and said through her tears.
Adrian felt a mix of emotions and did not know what to say. He felt guilty and med himself.
Samantha had done a lot for his family, but he had suspected her of cheating on him.
“I’m sorry, Sam,” Adrian said.
Samantha took a deep breath. She thought that her life would pass just like that and that she would
forever be a widow while taking care of her mother-inw and making money to send her sister-inw
to university. She never imagined that her husband would one day return.
“You think apologizing is good enough?!” she cried, “Adrian Xander, you’re nothing but trash! You owe
me! You owe the entire family! I won’t forgive you! You left me for seven years! I will never forgive you!”
Adrian never expected her to forgive him. He only hoped that he could use the rest of his life to repay
her.
He said, “Sam, go home. I’ll settle this and go home to you. You can then hit me and yell at me all you
want. I won’t retaliate.”
Samantha took a look at Devin, paused, then turned and walked out of the office.

After she left, Adrian’s face fell. He turned to face Devin.
Devin understood what was going on and smiled. “I know. You’re Henry Xander’s son, Adrian.
Samantha’s husband.”
“You want to sleep with my wife?” Adrian asked.
“Hahaha!” Devin threw his head back andughed. “I’m d you know. I’m part of the Alyanz Chamber
of Commerce. I’m pretty powerful around these parts. We even managed to take Samantha’spany
away from her, but what are you going to do about it?
“I have an in with the war legate too. Your wife is lucky that I’m interested in her.”
Devin had heard of Adrian. Ever since Henry’s passing, the family fell apart. Adrian was sent away to
the army at the border and did not seem to have made any improvements since then.
When Adrian heard Devin’s proud tone, heughed. “The war legate huh? Sure. I’ll show you who the
real war legate is.”
He then pulled out his phone. “General Summers, bring some men to the Bar Group.”
