Author: Maria Anita
Alexander’s POV

I sat on my living room couch feeling a searing pain in my chest, hearing my heartbeat pounding in my ears, struggling to breathe, and my eyes burning with endless tears. I'd only felt this way once before - when my parents died. An irreparable, deeply painful loss that makes your heart feel like it's stopping. I was dying without her.

"Alexander, bro, that wretched woman and her father are waiting for you in the building lobby. I know you're devastated, but they won't leave," Patrick said, and I looked at him as if coming out of a trance.

"Patrick, she broke up with me. Said there's no way now. That she won't take me away from my son and that she's going back to work with Henry," I said desperately.

"Easy, Alex. We've already solved one thing - she's not leaving the company." I looked at Patrick, not understanding what he meant. "She'll be reporting to me, and Rick will report to you, starting Monday. It's not what you want, but it's the best way to keep her close. It

    Manuela’s POVI slid my fingers over the first button of his shirt and undid it, moving to the next one, then another, until they were all open. I moved back slightly to pull at the shirt and settled back onto his lap, then held both sides of the shirt and opened it, revealing his entire chest. I noticed his breathing change as I slowly placed my hand on his chest, touching his skin, and glided my hands down his chest, moving over his toned abdomen with its defined six-pack, his muscles firm and well-defined.As I touched him, he sighed. When I placed my hand back on his chest, he put his hand over mine and pulled it up to his heart. His heart was beating fast and strong."Can you feel that, little one? Can you feel my heart beating for you?" he said with his eyes locked on mine, his voice heavy with desire.I nodded yes, I could feel it, and I felt it with my own heart. Without taking my eyes off him and keeping my hand on his heart, I took his other hand and placed it over my own hea

    Manuela’s POVSince Flavian left my apartment on Saturday, I could only do what he said - I kept thinking about whether I was ready to be with a man like him. He was too handsome and too intense, and I was young and inexperienced.I hadn't seen him at the office the day he saw me there; I must have been really distracted not to notice such a man. But I didn't. I saw him later at the dealership and had no idea who he was, but I left there sighing over him, thinking that such a handsome man would never look at me. That night I dreamed about him. When I met him again at the wedding, it was a shock - I thought he would snub me, but he was gentle, loving, and attentive. I felt as if there was a connection between us.Then, when he kissed me, it was as if I had always been waiting for him. He made me feel things I had never felt before, even before kissing me, while holding my hand during the party, or when he whispered something near my ear, I felt a tingling, an itch, a wanting for somethi

    Flavian’s POVI didn't care one bit about acting like a caveman when the little one started saying my concern for her safety was excessive—I just threw her over my shoulders and started walking. I would not leave her alone and would not miss the chance to have her close to me. I was killing two birds with one stone, and she would not ruin my mood.As we got closer to my house, I could feel Manu getting tenser beside me. Was she going to reject me? I was not prepared for that.We arrived home, and I started showing Manu around. In the bedroom, I put her things in the closet and showed her that I had left some space for her. Only then did she say something."There are three bedrooms here," Manu stated the obvious, and I looked at her, not understanding."So what?" I asked, confused, and watched her sigh and return to the bedroom, wringing her hands. I followed her and sat on the bed, waiting for what she had to say."So I don't need to stay in your room. I don't want to be a bother." Cou

    Flavian’s POVI left Manu's apartment, but she wouldn't leave my mind. I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, but when exhaustion finally overcame my racing thoughts, I dreamed about her all night long, dreamed that she was mine.During the hours we spent together at Alexander and Catherine's wedding, Manu enchanted me even more. She wasn't just beautiful; she was intelligent, fun, and clever. She could easily make me laugh, made me feel calm and relaxed, unlike my usual stressed self. What I felt the moment I saw her only intensified after spending time with her.And the moment I kissed her, I sealed my fate. Her lips, initially hesitant, met mine in such a perfect way that it seemed as if her mouth had been molded to mine. Our first kiss was perfect, even at the beginning when it was somewhat tense and awkward, and it became deliciously perfect as our tongues found their rhythm. Manu had a sweet and addictive taste, and all I could think about was kissing her again.When we got

    Flavian’s POVManu's apartment perfectly reflected her personality - everything was delicate and feminine, yet practical, well-organized, cozy, and comfortable. Oddly enough, I seemed out of place, like a mismatched piece."Make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink?" Manu appeared more relaxed here, in her own space."No, little one. Come here." I held her hand and pulled her to sit beside me.I didn't want to seem rude, so I tried to organize my thoughts and calm my voice. Manu sat down gracefully next to me, her legs folded on the sofa, facing me."What do you want to talk about, Flavian?" she asked anxiously."About expectations," I said, finding a place to start. "Manu, I'm a thirty-five-year-old man with plenty of life experience, who knows what he wants. From what I understand, you're eighteen and clearly not as experienced.""I'm turning nineteen next month," she huffed, and I found it amusing, as if there was much difference between being eighteen or nineteen. I

    Manuela’s POVI returned to the table, and Flavian stood up to pull out my chair. Not only was he handsome and charming, but also a gentleman. It was getting harder to remain virtuous and modest. But the party was coming to an end, and Mel and Fred would drive me home, so I would soon have to say goodbye to this handsome man."Little Key, I know you're having fun, but I'm dead tired. Can we go?" Melissa approached."Oh, Melissa, don't spoil my fun," Flavian complained without taking his eyes off me. "Don't worry, I insist on taking Little One home.""Oh, look at him getting all bold!" Melissa laughed. "He's just like your friends, detective, doesn't waste any time. Manu, have fun." Melissa blew me a kiss and turned away."No, Mel... Flavian, don't trouble yourself, Melissa can take me home," I said so he wouldn't feel obligated."I won't, Little Key, you're the detective's now." With that, Melissa left. I looked at Flavian, and he had a triumphant smile."See, now you're mine. Let me e

    Manuela’s POVI was pretty excited about Catherine's wedding. It had been a long time since I'd gone to a party, and I loved parties. Catherine had asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and said I would be paired with a friend of Patrick's. I didn't know who he was and was curious, constantly pestering Samantha with questions about this friend."Oh, Manu, he was at the office this week. There's no way you missed Detective Flavian, he's huge," Samantha laughed while helping me zip up my dress."Sam, that office was chaos, people coming and going, and that phone wouldn't stop ringing. I didn't see this man. Tell me, what's he like?" I asked once again, trying to get information out of her."Done! Now zip mine up." Sam turned so I could zip up her dress. "I already told you I'm not saying anything. You'll see him with your own eyes soon enough. But I find it amazing that you didn't notice him.""I didn't. Oh, I hope he's at least cute. He doesn't need to be as gorgeous as the guys or that

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S3-Chapter 3

    Manuela’s POVI had not expected this week to be so hectic, but fortunately everything worked out well and Catherine and Peter were rescued and were safe after that. I needed to catch up because I had missed two days of college classes. I had subjects to catch up on and assignments to submit, and I would certainly be pulling an all-nighter. And there was still Catherine and Alexander's wedding on Saturday.I signaled and got off the bus a block away from my house. At that time I was taking evening classes, I was thinking about how practical and safe it would be to have a car, since I was getting home late and the streets were empty. Maybe it was time to use the money my grandfather had left me when he passed away. I quickened my pace, almost running. I was afraid of walking alone on the streets at night - I had been raised in a small town by an overprotective and old-fashioned mother, everything scared me.Even though I was afraid of everything and did not know how to manage away from

    Flavian’s POVWhen Detective Bonfim suggested I transfer to the specialized unit in Paradise Port to work alongside him, I never imagined he'd actually manage to get my transfer approved. It was a highly sought-after precinct, with many detectives wanting to work there, and I might not have been the most qualified.But Bonfim got my transfer approved in the snap of a finger, or rather, with just one phone call. I was thrilled because, without even trying, he had solved several of my problems. I would get promoted, move to a bigger city, work at a specialized precinct where I'd have plenty of operational work just the way I liked it, and get some distance from my parents' interference. This job opportunity fell right into my lap.I would only return to Bellwood to handle some paperwork before moving to Paradise Port for good. I was already at the airport waiting for my flight to be cleared for takeoff when I decided to call Patrick to find out who that woman was that I saw at Miller's c
