It’s been three whole days without my love working beside me and I don’t like it. I have finally got everything I need to clear her name. A board meeting was called by the shareholders. Ashton came to warn me before I got the call. These old bastards were going to see who was
actually in charge.
There was one shareholder, besides Ashton, who believed Samantha was totally innocent. Marvin Kellen came to me yesterday. He told me about how he was at a restaurant, and he noticed my wife with Elliot Beesom and thought it was odd. He watched them during his dinner. They looked to be conspiring about something. She gave Elliot a large manilla envelope. I asked him about what time this was. He said nine 9:30. This was the same night
I was to meet that b*tch at Taki.
I had told him at 9: 30 that night I was in the bath with my wife. I then showed him the video of Avery at Samantha’s desk, and he was astonished at the resemblance, and he nodded and
said that this was the woman he saw. He then told me he wanted to retire. I asked if he
wanted to keep his two percent or if he’d like me to buy him out. He opted to be bought out.
So now I hold thirty–two percent.
I texted Samantha and asked her to come to the office at one p.m. I was sitting in my office
waiting for her. A smile on my face. I hated being away from her. Working without her, I felt
lost. I don’t know how I managed before she came back into my
life.
My office door opened, and I smiled at my girl.
“Sweet Girl, I have missed you,” I said, standing and walking around my desk.
“You just saw me this morning. Remember you woke me up with your tongue between my
legs?”
“Hmmm, yes, I remember vividly,” I said, giving her a wicked grin. I gathered her into my arms
and kissed her passionately. She moaned and my c*ck started to get hard.
A throat–clearing had us separating. I looked over her head to see Ashton, his hands in his
pockets, smiling at us.
“Hey Ashie,” I said. He grimaced.
“She told you about that?”

Samantha giggled.
“She told you too?” he asked, bewildered.
“How’s the throat?” Samantha asked.
He cleared his throat again, bringing his hand up and rubbing his Adams apple.
“My baby girl has great reflexes.”
“Gross, don’t call her that in my presence,” I said, grimacing myself.
“They’re all here except Kellen,” Ashton said.
“Kellen retired. I have his shares now.”
He grinned and rocked back on his heels. “Nice.”
I took Samantha’s hand, and we walked behind Ashton on the way to the board meeting.
When we walked in, Harold Holstrom spluttered and pointed at Samantha.
“This traitor should not be here!”
“She’s why we are in this mess in the first place,” Donald shouted.
“Calm the f*ck down,” I shouted. Both men shut their mouths.
“Dashawn, you must see that if it wasn’t for her actions, the company’s stock wouldn’t have plummeted,” Gerald Newsom calmly said.
“We demand that you set her aside, fire her and make a public announcement that you cut all
ties with her,” Donald said. All the other shareholders nodded. Ashton snarled.
“What happened to gathering all the evidence first,” he demanded.
“We’ve seen the video surveillance, it’s clearly her,” Donald said.
I turned to Samantha. She was pale, her hand on her stomach. I guided her to the seat next to me and went to pour her a glass of water. There were some cookies on a tray and I
grabbed a napkin and a sugar cookie.
“Here baby,” I said. Leaning down and kissing her on the forehead.
Donald and Harold scoffed.
I turned to them and glared at them. They visibly shrunk in their seats.
I picked up a remote and clicked a button and the video of Avery at Samantha’s desk came up.

“This woman is not Samantha Buchanan.” I clicked the remote and a split screen came up.
“She is Avery Jones. You can see her and my woman look eerily similar. The time stamp on
this video is eight thirty–five in the morning. This next video is of Samantha and entering our
place the night before, and as you watch, you can see neither of us left until ten in the
morning.”
The room was silent as everyone watched the time–lapse of the second video.
I clicked to the next slide. “These are all the financial reports for the last year. You can see
when Samantha was hired that nothing has changed. There is no missing money. The IRS
has already determined that what was sent in the email was false. There is no evidence of
Samantha stealing money from any investors. The company’s stock will be fine, once the
evidence is made public. We’ve only lost a hundred million. Since we are a billion–dollar company, that’s nothing, so stop sniveling. I will not be setting Samantha aside. She is the
woman I love and will be marrying in a month’s time. She is also the mother of my children
that are in her belly right now.”
These old men gasped at that announcement. Donald slumped into his chair. I shook my
head.
“I am sick and tired of you all trying to control my life as if you have any say in it. You are only
here as a courtesy to my grandfather, but I find you are all too old and stodgy for my liking. So
you have two options. You can keep your shares and retire quietly, or I can buy you out. Either
way, your presence in the company is no longer needed. I will be bringing in new blood. My
woman has thirty percent of the company’s shares. Ashton has two. You will notice that
Kellen is no longer here, he wanted to retire, and.I bought his shares yesterday.” I pointed at
my sisters, who smiled. “Cia and Kimber have ten each, and I have thirty–two. So you are all
outnumbered and outmaneuvered. You have ten minutes to think about your decision.”
Ashtan handed me a stack of papers.
“Here are the buyout terms and the price I am willing to pay for your shares. Sign it, and the money will be in your hands within two business days.”
I threw the stack in the middle of the conference table. Then I held my hand out to Samantha
and I helped her out of her seat. Ashton, my sisters, Samantha, and I left. Cia and Kimber
turned to Samantha and hugged her. Ashton hugged and kissed her on the forehead. I glared at him and he smirked. They went their separate ways and I wrapped my arms around her.
“You okay baby?”
“Yeah. I knew they were going to demand you get rid of me, but hearing it for myself made my

“I’m sorry. But I wanted you there. You’re a shareholder and I wanted you to see them cower.”
“That Donald really doesn’t like me.”
“He’s Sheryl’s grandfather.”
“Oh, yeah. I remember hearing that when I was under your desk, but I was a little distracted,” she giggled and I growled into her ear. My d*ck becoming instantly hard. I had to adjust
myself, making her giggle more.
“I love you, Sweet Girl.”
“I love you too, Dashawn.”
“You can stay for the rest of the day, or you can go out and do whatever. Up to you.”
“Nat and our moms are in town. We are going shopping for my wedding dress.”
“Mmm, that is making my d*ck throb.”
She looked down at my slacks. I could see heat bloom in her cheeks.
“I could help you with that,” she whispered.
I smiled and went to kiss her but the conference room door opened.
Harold stepped out. Samantha and I separated and I pulled her in front of me.
“Ms. Buchanan. I would like to apologize for my behavior. I truly had the company’s best
interest at heart.”
He handed me the shares contract. I flipped to the last page where he signed it. I smiled.
“Thank you,” she said, quietly.
He nodded and left. One by one, the shareholders left, handing me a signed contract. Donald
was last to leave. His face was livid.
“I should keep my shares, but I don’t want anything to do with this company because, eventually, she’s going to ruin it, and you will be sorry,” he said scathingly as he shoved the
contract in my hands.
I couldn’t help it, I just reacted. I threw back my right arm and slammed my fist into his face.
“You watch how you talk about my woman. I don’t take kindly to anyone talking sh*t about
her. On your way out, gather your granddaughter. She’s out of my company too.”

“You can’t do that!” Donald roared as he clutched his jaw.
“I can, and I just did. HR already has her severance package waiting for her. They are just
waiting for my call.”
I took out my cell and put it to my ear.
“Nina, execute my order. Thank you.”

Donald glared at me as he got to his feet. He stomped away, and I glared after him until the
elevator doors closed on him.
“You’re so s*xy when you are in CEO mode.”
I smiled at her. She lightened my mood instantly.
She leaned up on her toes and kissed me. I watched her walk away. Her a*s swaying in the
black fitted slacks she wore with a light blue sweater and a pair of black kitten heels. D*mn
my woman was s*xy. I hated to see her leave, but I loved to watch her go. Her a*s was epic. Adjusting myself, I put my hands in my pockets and whistled as I went back to my office. A manilla envelope was on my desk. I stopped just inside my office door and turned around.
“Sandra? Did you put that envelope on my desk?”
“Yes, Dashawn. It has your name on it. It was on my desk when I got back from lunch.”
I nodded, “Okay, thank you.”
I walked back into my office and closed the door. Kellen’s words about Avery handing Elliot a
manilla envelope swirled in my head.
I picked it up. Mr. Dashawn Krew was written with black sharpie in big block letters.
I opened it and two five by seven pictures and a litter was inside.
I opened the letter first.
She’s f*cking him behind your back and you have no clue.
If I didn’t know better, I would have ruined Samantha and Elliot Bessom. The picture was of
what I assume is supposed to be a naked Samantha riding a naked Elliot on a couch. Both their faces showed ecstasy. Even though I knew it was Avery, she looked so much like Samantha, a little pain sliced through my heart. I would have gone scorched Earth on both of
them, if I believed this was Samantha. She even angled her body so her t*ts appeared smaller.
She’s a clever b*tch. I took out my phone and snapped both pictures. Then I walked over to my
office shredder and shredded them. Didn’t want those to fall into the wrong hands.

I was going to destroy Elliot Beesom. I didn’t know he was a part of this, but now I did. He
has no idea what he had just opened up. It was time for him to meet Money. I called Demon,
Ice and Crush. I had a plan to execute.
