BENEATH HIS CONTROL

Chapter1

Tossing and turning from left to right on the bed still feeling sleepy, Samantha open her sleepy eyes to see herself under a white duvet in a very soft bed.

Her eyes became wide open in an instant. Looking around, she realize that the place doesn't look familiar as everything in the room was screaming wealth of which she didn't have.

~this is not my room~ she thought as she tried to recall what happened to made her end up there.

"s**t" she cursed as she recall.

She was at the club last night with her friend after being sober for two months when she caught her ex cheating in his apartment with a lady he claimed to be his cousin. She hooked up with a guy she didn't know at the club and they booked an hotel room and...

"Jezz... Sam what is wrong you?" she mutter to herself as she scold herself for having s*x with a total stranger.

It was really weird of her but she kind of enjoyed it. He really knew how to handle a woman. He was so good and handled her with so much care. Not even her ex could handle her like the stranger did.

"Oh f**k s**t Sam, you're so sick" she said smiling to her silly thoughts as the adventure of last night replayed in her head. This was the first time she was smiling like that in two months.

She couldn't believe that she was smiling like that after sleeping with a stranger because just yesterday, she was still sobbing when her friend suggested going to the club and she decided to go.

Still deep in thoughts, the sound of the tap running in the bathroom brought her back and her eye widen. Knowing that the person in there must be the stranger, she sprang up immediately. She was too embarrassed to face the stranger she decided to leave while he's still in there.

Her clothes were all over the floor. She pick them up one by one and hurriedly put them back on.

Her bag was sitting pretty on the drawer beside the bed. She hurriedly went to pick it up and a bundle of neatly arranged notes of dollars fell.

"Did he really think I was a slut? Damn him" she muttered to herself and left the money there as she ran off from the room before the stranger comes out.

Samantha is a beautiful lady with a body to die for. She was 26 and a college dropout. She had no families or that was what she agreed within herself because since her parents died, her uncle was never supportive of her. Instead he made her go through hell, the hell she cannot forget in a hurry. That was a story for another day.

She was in a relationship two months ago but it ended because she caught her cheating boyfriend with a lady he claimed was his cousin. Long story...

Immediately she came out if the hotel, she felt the vibration of her ringing phone in her bag. It was her friend and roommate calling.

"Hey Sam, where the hell are you?" Her friend, Olivia yell on the phone.

"Hey, relax girl... You want to blow my ears off?" Sam said taking the phone from her ear for a while then brought it close to the ear again

"You ditched me at the club yesterday and I'm so pissed at you... I thought we went there for you to have fun and forget that ass" Olivia said calmly this time.

"Yeah I know girl, I'll tell you everything when I get home." She said and ended the call. She board a cab home and immediately she step into the house, Olivia bombarded her with questions.

"I'm listening...Spill everything. You left me at the club yesterday" Olivia said curiously waiting for Sam to say something.

" Yeah I know that. I stupidly hooked up with an XY chromosome last night by mistake girl...I just wanted to have fun" Sam sigh and sat down on one of the couch.

" Really? You left me at the club because of a guy?You're not sorry for ditching me? " Olivia yell

" Okay I'm sorry Oli" Sam said rolling her eyes.

" You'll only be forgiven if you spill everything that happened in that room without leaving out a single details "

" You really are an ass Olivia, I don't have anything to say to you"

" Is that what you'll say to me after leaving me at the club yesterday?" Olivia said and Sam had to laugh over that as she left to her room leaving Olivia there in the sitting room.

It was Saturday and nothing much to do apart from cleaning where needed to be cleaned. They had gone to the club the previous night because of Sam who was still going through hurt because of her breakup...Only to end up in the arms of a man.

"How come I didn't know about your interview?" Olivia ask still marveled about the interview sam told her about on Monday morning.

" I totally forgot to tell you...I actually saw it online when stalking Robert and his girlfriend and I just reluctantly applied " Sam said getting ready for her interview she had that morning. She was in the bathroom.

" So which of the restaurant this time?" Olivia ask and walk to sam's bed to sit on it.

" It's not a restaurant " Sam said

" Then..." Olivia said curiously.

" It's the position for a personal assistant in...I think G.H cooperation or something like that" Sam said trying to recall the name of the company.

" Jezz...Girl, you mean to say G.W?" Olivia reply

" Yeah that's it, How did you know?"

" Who doesn't know G.W Co - operation?"

"Well I didn't know it"

"Girl, you just hit a jackpot babe" Olivia said as she stood up to Samantha's wardrobe to look for a matching outfit for her interview.

"Really? " Sam ask as she walk out of the shower.

" Yeah, The company is one of the biggest, if not the biggest in this City" Olivia said bringing out a blue Cooperate gown and white heels.

"Wow...but I hope I get the job though" Sam said applying body lotion on her skin.

"Of course you'll get the Job"

" You and I know that I'm a college dropout" Sam said becoming sad a little.

"Listen to me Sam, Stop belittling yourself. You're one hell of a smart and very intelligent lady I know and if they don't choose you, it's their loss" Olivia said encouraging her as she held her shoulder.

"Thanks Oli" Sam said as she heave a sigh of relief.

Sam had quitted her job as a waitress two months ago on the day she and her ex broke up. She quitted because the male customers were always flirting with her. When she warns them not to try it with her again, they'll report to her manager on how she couldn't serve them well.

Her manager would bring down fire and brimstone after hearing about it. Telling her how shameless she was, not to have handled the customers well and start giving her endless lectures on how to be a better waitress.

This had also happened in her previous jobs before the one she recently quit. She was so tired of being a waitress and wanted to aim for something higher even with her lack of qualifications. She just wanted to try at least.

So when she came across the ad of the job recruitment poster online while scrolling through the internet stalking her ex, she reluctantly applied. It was a well known company in New York named G.W Co-operation.

It was one of the biggest companies in New York with the tallest building own by the Williams. Apart from owning one of the biggest companies, they also own a five stars hotel made for wealthy people only and an international airport. Let's say the other name for the Williams is wealth.

" Gosh I'm late Oli... let me hurry up " Sam said checking her time after dressing up.

" Sure girl... give them your big girl game on" Olivia said cheering Sam.

" What about you, aren't you going to work today?"

"Nahh... I took a day off. I have a date with Max so I need the whole day to get ready. I think he's going to pop the question tonight" Olivia said smiling.

"Well... I hope he does. We'll talk more later, I have to run" Sam said staring at her Wristwatch.

" Okay " Olivia smiled

Sam hurriedly left the house and took the bus from the bus station. The interview was scheduled to start by 10 and the time was just 8:30. She just wanted to get there on time.

So she thought but luck wasn't on her side... there was a heavy traffic on the way and it took a long time.

"Shit... I'm freaking late for my interview" Sam mutter in frustration. She left the house early enough and will be getting there late because of traffic.

She didn't want to look irresponsible on the day of interview. Her CV wasn't carrying much but she still wants to make a good impression. At least for being punctual.

The bus got to her stop point and she came down and still had to run to the company. By the time she got there, it was already 10:15.

She told the security that she came for the interview and they allowed her in. When she got to the reception, the receptionist didn't allow her in because she felt Sam wasn't up to the standard of the company.

"Sorry we have stop taking people for the interview"

"Why? Has the representative been chosen?" Sam ask feeling confused. An interview is meant to take hours and she's just 15 minutes late so how come?

" Not that Ms, but I don't think the boss will be able to allow you work as his personal assistant. He had always employed men to be his assistant" The receptionist lied.

" But still, I just want to try my luck okay... please " Sam plead

The receptionist just got irritated more... This woman was one hell of a stubborn person.

"Okay ms, if you want me to spell it out for you, I will"

" What ? " Sam ask confuse

" You're not up to the company's standard... First of all, look at your dress. Your clothes are definitely worn out and are begging for freedom. You're so ugly and...." the receptionist spilled but was cut shut by a deep masculine voice.

" Let her in or you're fired"

The two ladies both turn to see who spoke and the receptionist bow in fear when she saw Ethan and his guards.

" How dare you talk down on someone who came to apply for the interview?" He ask

"I'm so sorry Mr Ethan" The receptionist remain bow in fear. She was scared of loosing her job.

" Is this how you've been treating others? " Ethan yelled.

" I'm so sorry"

Ethan look at the beautiful lady Infront of him that the receptionist just called ugly in front of him. She was so pretty and had the perfect curves. He's definitely going to have this one just like the others but who's she anyways?

Her hair were scattered all over her face and she look stressed.

" What's your name? " Ethan ask

" Sam... Samantha Lucas" Sam said and the receptionist secretly eye her. Sam was gaining a spotlight she couldn't achieve for the five years she has worked in G.W Co-operation. Ethan has only slept with her twice but dump her immediately he saw someone else. She's still trying to gain her lost light back.

"What are you here for?" Ethan ask

"I'm here for the interview sir" Sam said

" Follow me" He order

" Yes sir" Sam bow and follow behind but not without eyeing the receptionist.

They enter an elevator together with his guards and stop at the 20th floor where the interview was taking place.

"You can join the others okay" Ethan said caressing her shoulder

"Thank you very so much sir" Sam said feeling uncomfortable but happy.

"It's Ethan, call me Ethan" he said

"Okay Mr E..than" She smile

"Alright, good luck on your interview" He smile and left with his guards.

Ethan was the second in command in the company and a brother to the CEO.

Sam turn and face the direction where other people who came for the interview were seated and she took a seat. She heave a sign of relief after sitting down because she was happy that the interview was still going on.

She was resting her head on the chair with her eyes close while waiting for her turn when she heard someone talking.

"For you Ms" A beautiful lady with a very beautiful smile was in front of her offering her coffee.

"But I didn't ask for coffee" she said confused.

"It's on the company Ms. It's the company's rules to offer coffee to visitors no matter their status. Look at the others" She said gesturing with her hand.

Sam look at others and really saw a mug of coffee on the hands of the others...She wowed. The company was so generous.

"Okay thank you very much" she said and accept the coffee.

"You're welcome Ms, good luck on your interview" The lady said

"Thank you" Sam smile and the lady left.

Sam waited for her turn as she sip her coffee. People went in and came out looking sad and she just kept praying in her mind to get picked miraculously despite her poor CV.

She was tired of working as a waitress where those disgusting men will be flirting with her and her managers won't do anything about it because of the money they would get. She wanted a decent job now.

As her thoughts got deeper, she heard her name.

"Samantha Lucas, you're the next to be interviewed"

Sam smile and got up from her sit. She was led to the office where the interview will take place.

"Good luck" was the last thing she heard before the lady left her in front of the office. She has heard good luck from four different people today and she really hope that her luck will be good.

She heave a sign and knock on the door.

"Come in" she heard from inside.

She went inside the office and close the door behind her. She first scan the office with her eyes and damn, it was so big and beautiful.

Her eyes were looking everywhere, scanning the wide office until it came in contact with the stranger from two nights ago and suddenly she felt a lump down her throat as the weird memories from two nights ago came flashing in...
