Mrs. Arrogant! My Billionairesss

The grand ballroom of the Monte Carlo Hotel glittered with opulence. A sea of elites, clad in designer suits and gowns, mingled under the golden chandeliers that cast a warm glow over the luxurious event. The air buzzed with the aroma of expensive champagne, whispered deals, and gossip. It was the annual Business Elite Gala, a playground for the powerful, and at its center was her. Samantha Davenport. The name alone commanded attention. She wasn’t just rich; she was filthy rich. The youngest female billionaire in the country, the CEO of Davenport Enterprises, and a woman known for her striking beauty and icy demeanor. Dressed in a scarlet gown that hugged her curves and accentuated her tall, slender frame, Samantha’s sharp eyes scanned the room as if she owned every soul present. "She does, in a way," someone whispered nearby. "Davenport owns half the hotels in this city, doesn’t she?" But tonight, Samantha wasn’t just here to show off her empire. Tonight, she was hunting. --- Across the Room Jason Blake adjusted the cuff of his slightly wrinkled suit, an odd choice for such a glitzy event. He didn’t belong here, and he knew it. A middle-class architect with a penchant for overconfidence, Jason had been dragged to the gala by his boss to "network." He’d already made a fool of himself by spilling champagne on some tycoon’s shoes and narrowly avoided being escorted out. "Relax," he muttered under his breath as he grabbed another glass of champagne from a passing waiter. "You’re here to make connections, not enemies." But just as he lifted the glass to his lips, his eyes landed on her. Samantha. She was standing near the grand staircase, her sharp jawline and confident aura drawing attention like a magnet. Jason didn’t know much about billionaires, but he’d heard stories about Samantha. Arrogant. Ruthless. Untouchable. And stunning. It was like watching a goddess descend among mortals, and for some inexplicable reason, Jason found himself unable to look away. "Don’t even think about it," his boss warned, nudging him. "Women like her chew men like you up for breakfast." But Jason, stubborn as always, grinned. "Maybe I’m in the mood to be breakfast." --- The Collision Jason didn’t realize what he was doing until he was standing in front of her. "Excuse me," he said, cutting through the circle of businessmen surrounding Samantha. The men looked at him as if he were a cockroach crawling onto a dinner plate, but Samantha’s gaze shifted to him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Yes?" she asked, her voice cold and clipped. Jason swallowed hard. Up close, she was even more intimidating. But he wasn’t one to back down. "Hi," he said, offering his hand. "Jason Blake. I couldn’t help but notice that you look like someone who could use a distraction." The group around her went silent. One man even choked on his drink. Samantha’s brow arched, and for a moment, Jason thought she might have him escorted out. But then she smiled. It wasn’t a warm smile. It was the kind of smile that promised trouble, the kind that said, You have no idea who you’re dealing with. "A distraction?" she repeated, her tone dripping with mockery. "And you think you’re qualified to offer me one?" Jason shrugged, feigning nonchalance. "Well, I figured someone as powerful as you must get bored listening to all this... small talk." The crowd murmured, but Samantha waved them off. "Leave us," she ordered, and just like that, the circle of men dispersed. Now it was just the two of them. "You have guts, Mr. Blake," she said, her piercing eyes locking onto his. "Most men wouldn’t dare approach me like that." "Most men aren’t me," he replied with a smirk. For a moment, she said nothing, simply studying him. Then, to his surprise, she laughed. It was a soft, melodic sound that caught him off guard. "Tell me, Mr. Blake," she said, stepping closer, "do you always crash parties you’re clearly not invited to?" Jason’s smirk widened. "Only the interesting ones." --- A Game of Wits Samantha wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by a man who looked like he’d borrowed his suit from a thrift store. But there was something about Jason’s confidence—or was it arrogance?—that intrigued her. "Interesting," she murmured, circling him like a predator sizing up its prey. "Do you know who I am?" "Of course," Jason replied. "Samantha Davenport. Billionaire. Queen of the corporate jungle. And, if I’m not mistaken, someone who’s dying for a real conversation." Her lips twitched, almost forming a smile. "You think you can give me that?" "I know I can," he said, stepping closer. "Why don’t you let me prove it?" Samantha tilted her head, pretending to consider his offer. "And what exactly would you like to talk about, Mr. Blake?" Jason leaned in, lowering his voice. "How about why someone as beautiful and powerful as you looks so... lonely?" The words hung in the air, and for the first time, Samantha’s confident façade faltered. But only for a second. "Careful," she warned, her voice icy again. "You’re treading on dangerous ground." Jason didn’t back down. "Maybe I like danger." --- An Unexpected Twist Before Samantha could respond, a waiter accidentally bumped into her, spilling a glass of red wine onto her pristine gown. The room fell silent, all eyes on Samantha. But instead of yelling or storming out, she turned to Jason with a wicked smile. "Well, Mr. Blake," she said, her voice laced with challenge, "since you’re so eager to prove yourself, why don’t you escort me out of here and make this night... interesting?" Jason blinked, caught off guard. "You want me to leave with you?" "Unless you’re all talk," she taunted, already heading for the exit. Jason hesitated for only a moment before following her. He didn’t know what he was getting himself into, but one thing was clear: Samantha Davenport wasn’t like any woman he’d ever met. And he was about to find out just how dangerous that could be.
