Alexander’s POV Suddenly, that unbearable harpy Anna Caroline, who had witnessed the entire scene right in front of us, started speaking almost with a shout:"What do you think you're doing, you little hussy? Get your hands off Alex, you opportunist!"Without releasing my grip on my assistant's waist, I whispered in her ear:"Don't you dare move away?" Of course, she had felt my arousal, but no one else needed to witness that. I looked at the harpy with murderous eyes and said:"Lower your voice, Anna Caroline, and apologize to Miss Catherine immediately.""What's this, Alex! I'm just putting this nobody in her place. She's openly throwing herself at you. Besides, she blocked the door and wouldn't let me in to see you, saying I needed to be announced. That's ridiculous! Since when do I need to be announced? Tell her who I am and put her in her place. You need to reprimand her, Alex. I think you should even fire her." Anna Caroline's eyes were crackling with hatred."Anna Caroline, apo
I sank into my chair in my office, my legs feeling like jelly. I didn't know how I managed to keep my composure as if nothing major had happened. What an unpleasant woman that Anna Caroline was. But I never expected things to unfold that way. Wow, when he wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me from falling and pulled me against his chest, I was completely caught off guard. Of course, I felt the hardness of his impressive member against my back, and that definitely woke me up. But when he whispered in my ear not to move away, a warmth spread through my body, leaving me wet and burning down there – something I hadn't felt in ages, not since that dance. And my boss was rock hard, pressing against my back... oh God, I didn't know if this job was going to last."Catherine, you're in deep trouble!" I said to myself.I grabbed my phone and texted Mel - I needed to tell her about meeting the boss. I typed: "Met my boss today." She replied almost immediately: "Bet he grabbed you in the offi
After my boss shared all the information about his trip, Mariana and I returned to our office to continue working. The rest of the workday went by without incident. The day passed quickly, and we were grabbing our bags to leave when my boss's door opened just as Patrick appeared in my office."Time to rest, girls!" Patrick said with that huge smile that seemed permanently fixed on his face. "Alexander and I are going to dinner at Giorgio's, and I insist on inviting the two most beautiful women in this company to join us."Giorgio's was an extremely expensive Italian restaurant in the city. Mel and I had already planned to go there over the weekend after hearing they served the best gnocchi and had delicious house-made wine we wanted to try. Mel had convinced me that I needed to get used to these kinds of places now, since I'd likely have to attend business lunches or dinners."Oh, what a shame, Patrick! We already have plans and people waiting for us. Maybe another time," Mariana said,
I told Marina about what happened with my son's father, how that experience was incredible and changed my life, and how after that I decided never to get involved with anyone again. She looked at me smiling, but suddenly remembered something that wiped the smile off her face and said:"You sound just like Alexander. He also closed himself off to love. He had met a girl and was with her when he received the news of his parents' death. He was devastated. When he tried to find her again, she had vanished into thin air. He tried to find her but couldn't, and he still hasn't gotten over it.""Mari, how did his parents die?" I asked curiously."They died in a helicopter accident while returning from a party. Alexander's father received some urgent company information and had to return quickly. Alexander stayed at the party with the girl, and his parents couldn't find him to say goodbye, so they left a message with Patrick's parents. But at the party itself, Alex received the news of his pare
Alexander’s POV I had been in a bad mood since leaving the office. Patrick knew it and didn't miss the chance to needle me:"So, bro, do you think Catherine has a boyfriend? Because the way Mari talked about it, you know?!""And what if she does, Patrick? I already told you not to touch her." I said, rubbing my face with both hands."I won't touch her, but her boss is very interested, and by the way, he already touched her today." I snorted and turned to him."What are you talking about?""Man, I know you too well! You were very interested in Catherine. And I noticed how you grabbed her waist and didn't let go, and then closed the door staying with her in your office. When I came back, I felt some tension between you two, and I couldn't help but notice how you looked at her when talking about her backside. So, man, are you going to tell me what happened in that room, or do I have to imagine you taking your assistant to the couch?""Man, you're such an idiot!" But I couldn't hide my sm
After my boss's last message, I was already furious. If he thought I was going to cower in fear of him, he’s dead wrong. I had never reacted this way to a man before. I had never been so daring - I had always been reserved, never acted promiscuously or driven by impulses, sexual or otherwise. But somehow, this man managed to bring out the vixen in me. I simply couldn't control myself.I jumped out of bed and opened my closet. I grabbed a black dress that, while appearing modest and office-appropriate, made me look incredibly sexy. It was form-fitting, hit mid-thigh, and had a V-neckline that suggested cleavage without being vulgar. I chose red high heels, and a black lingerie set with tiny panties to avoid lines showing through the dress. I decided to wear my hair down. It wasn't the most professional choice, but it was acceptable, and I couldn't care less - I was going to make his day hell, and he'd regret playing his little games. I was going to war.I had to wake up earlier to get r
I grabbed a coffee and sat at my desk, my legs still shaky. After a few minutes, I received an email from the boss with guidelines to prepare for tomorrow's meeting. I quickly got to work, and by the time employees started arriving at the office, I had everything in order.Mariana walked in arm in arm with a guy and looked at me in surprise."Cat, did you fall out of bed? Good morning!""Good morning, Mari! The boss asked me to come in early to prepare for tomorrow's meeting.""That Alexander. Don't let him make this a habit.""I won't, Mari. But it was good, I already have everything prepared." I looked at her and smiled.The guy with her was staring at me with an extravagant smile. He was handsome, tanned, tall, with brown eyes, slightly longer black hair, and stubble. He wore an elegant suit and glasses."Mari, my boss said the new assistant was a hottie, but he wasn't being fair - she's stunning!" He spoke with a cheerful voice and very friendly manner. "She's going to cause quite
Alexander’s POV I was at the restaurant with Patrick, telling him everything that happened. He looked at me, shocked."I can't believe she's not wearing any underwear with that provocative little dress?"When he said that, I realized she was very exposed and could end up in an embarrassing situation away from me. That wasn't good. But I had torn her underwear, and even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have given it back to her."Bro, this woman is driving me crazy. Today it seems she decided to test my limits.""Don't complain, bro, you started it. What did you expect?""Man, I told her to come in early just to tease her, and sure, I was going to rile her up a bit, but I wasn't going to touch her. I just didn't think she'd come ready for war, with that tight dress that shows too much leg when she sits down, and those totally sexy heels. The moment I saw her, I lost my mind. It's frustrating, I can't control myself around her.""And apparently, neither can she. Alexander, there's no way around
Enzo’s POVBeing a student was getting harder and harder. The English teacher decided to make us read a book that was almost impossible to find. I had to trek all the way across town because out of all the bookstores in the malls, only this one had it. Everyone was complaining that they couldn't buy the book because they couldn't find it. I spent two days on the phone and finally tracked it down. So I rushed to secure my copy to avoid getting a zero on the test that the teacher had already warned us about.But since I was at the mall, I might as well take a little walk around. I bought the book first - I had reserved it, but you never know if someone might accidentally sell my copy, so I went to the bookstore first. When I left, I was walking through the food court when I spotted Aunt Pearl at a café nearby. I had to say hello."What a coincidence! Aunt Pearl, how are you?" I approached and noticed she was with a younger woman who was pretty but strange-looking."Enzo, darling, what a
Samantha’s POVMy bachelorette party was the most fun event I'd ever been to, despite the snake incident. Erica and Emilia had really outdone themselves. However, it wasn't as enjoyable for Henry, who was tense and worried when he came to pick me up.At home, he told me about his suspicion that Isabella had sent the snake, and I was surprised - I hadn't thought that insufferable woman would be so brazen.We spent Sunday at home, resting and just enjoying each other's company. It was nice to have that peaceful moment with him, knowing the upcoming week would be hectic with wedding preparations, even though everything was already set.This week, I needed to get ahead with all my work since I'd be on my honeymoon with Henry the following week. Starting Thursday, I wouldn't be working as I'd be at the beach house overseeing all the wedding setup. I was so busy that during lunch, I just had a quick snack while working and turned Manu away when she came for afternoon coffee.Then my phone st
Romulus’s POVLittle Samantha must have been crazy if she thought she could ghost me like that. I've called several times and she won't answer, where could she be hiding? I needed to teach her a lesson, but this week I couldn't put my plan into action since Sandro needed me to check the accounts at his drug spot.Sandro wanted me to move to the hill, but to be honest, I preferred little Nicole's apartment, it was better located. But there's no way around it, I made a deal with him and he was the boss. He only gave me one more week to sort things out with little Samantha.I would use this week to resolve my situation with little Samantha and deal with little Nicole too. I was running out of patience with her, but it had to look like an accident, after all, she's Sandro's sister. I was going to do the job and blame the old man, but the idiot got arrested and was even trying to go back on our deal. He wanted little Samantha all to himself - that was pure greed.But little Nicole was still
Henry’s POVI arrived at the Social Club with Edward and Enzo. The guys had reserved a room there and they'd gone all out - they'd set up a room with a pool table, poker table, and arcade games, leather sofas scattered around, and a 1950s-style bar stocked with every kind of drink. This was going to be fun and relaxing."So, ready for your last bachelor party bender?" Patrick asked as soon as I arrived."I thought this day would never come." Alexander approached and handed me a glass.Only then did I notice they were all wearing the same t-shirt - a black one with a cartoon of me being dragged by a rope tied to my foot by a cartoon of Sam, with "game over" written below. These guys were acting like kindergarteners.As if the t-shirts weren't enough, they had prepared several activities, and they all involved lots of alcohol. I probably wouldn't remember my own name the next day.I was already slightly drunk when I saw Flavian answer a call and slip out of the room. When he came back, h
Samantha’s POVThe plans for the night were explained, and the girls decided to start the games. Soon we were all seated, and a bowl with folded papers was placed in front of me."Let's start with the lingerie, everyone grabs your box," Erica said, kicking things off."Okay, Sam, you'll draw a paper and read what's written. To win the gift, you have to guess who experienced the situation described in the paper. If you guess wrong, you'll have to share a situation that happened to you. When you open the present, you'll keep your eyes closed and feel around to figure out what it is. Got it?" Emilia explained the rules of the game."Oh my god! Alright, let's begin," I said and drew the first paper. "On my first time, my boyfriend and I watched some movies to learn because it was his first time too. When we tried to do a position we saw in a movie, I accidentally kicked him in the face, and he fell off the bed and broke his nose. I ended the night still a virgin and in a hospital making up
Samantha’s POVThe week had finally ended, and it had been exhausting. Romulus kept calling and threatening me, but Flavian said the wiretap was active and they were gathering lots of evidence, including proof of other crimes Romulus was committing, so he'd be arrested again soon. But it was horrible to keep getting his calls and hearing threats, not knowing what to expect.As if that wasn't enough, ever since he found out that Edward's sisters were organizing my bachelorette party, Henry had been pestering me to know what they had planned, why I'd let them organize the party, and if there would be any kind of wild rituals, as he put it. I assured him I knew nothing about it, but that he shouldn't worry. However, he kept suggesting every five minutes that we should ditch our friends and family and spend time just the two of us. He was driving me crazy with this whole thing, but I wouldn't budge - I was having my bachelorette party, and it would be fun, he'd just have to deal with it.I
Henry’s POVThe week was coming to an end. The days had been challenging, but in a week, I would say yes to the woman of my life, and we would be united in marriage. However, what truly united us was our love. And each day, I loved her more.If someone had told me a while back that I would be eager to get married and have a family, I would have called them crazy. But at those days, that was all I felt - eagerness for the wedding, for the arrival of my child, eagerness to get home every day and see the woman of my life smiling at me. I was a lucky man; I had everything that made me happy and even more."Good morning, Henry!" Melissa greeted me with a very cheerful and festive hello."Good morning, crazy girl! What's got you so happy?" I asked, finding her too effusive."Oh, I don't know, maybe a girls-only party tomorrow, or the wedding of history's biggest ladies' man next week..." Melissa pondered, looking up with a pen in her mouth, making me laugh."Mel, what's going to happen at th
Reynold’s POVI was still wondering how that idiot Henry managed to get to that hotel. When Samantha walked in, I was sure she was expecting to meet him, and just by her being there, I knew she hadn't talked to that fool. But somehow he found out and ruined my plans.And that wasn't all - he showed up with that brute of a detective who immediately started pushing me around. God, that detective's hand was heavy; the punch he gave me in the face still hurt.I just wanted my night of pleasure with Samantha, and I wasn't willing to share my first time with her with that little thug Romulus. I made a deal with him, but I wasn't interested in waiting until he felt like letting me fuck that hot piece. So I handled it my way - borrowed some money from Reuben and put my plan into action. I remembered the lunch at Hebe's house when Samantha was talking about how Henry would make romantic surprises and always give her red roses - such terrible tackiness! But it was useful because she fell for my
Samantha’s POVIt was very difficult to calm Henry down when I called to tell him what happened at the dinner. He wanted me to quit immediately, and it took a long time to convince him that I was safe inside the company.I knew he would rush out of his office to come to my workplace again, which was happening far too frequently lately. Fortunately, it was already the end of the day, so his work wouldn't be left aside once more because of me.Henry arrived in less than half an hour, leaned on my desk, and looked into my eyes - his irritation was palpable."Samantha, I wasn't happy about you working and being exposed to danger before, and now that you're pregnant, I like it even less. We should rethink this," Henry placed both hands on my desk and immediately voiced his concerns."And what do you expect me to do? Stay locked up at home?" I asked calmly. "Because that's not going to happen.""Sam!" Henry threw himself into the chair in front of my desk, completely frustrated. "I don't wan
