Chapter 131

Author: Maria Anita
Alexander’s POV

The week had been quite hectic. Fred still hadn't managed to schedule an appointment with his uncle, the doctor, since he was at a conference in Geneva and wouldn't return until the following week.

It was already Saturday, and we had a scheduled meeting about the audit. Alan had news. Almost everyone had already arrived at my apartment, including Catherine, with only Alan and Mari running a bit late. Besides Catherine and me, Patrick and Rick were also present, along with the hacker Marcus Paul, and two more people from Alan's team.

"Catherine, thank you for coming. I know you've been following the audit reports, but now in the final stretch, we thought it was important for you to be here." I said, approaching her as she sat on the couch. She looked beautiful in a flowing floral maxi dress, but she didn't seem to be feeling well.

"Don't mention it, Alexander. I'm eager to finally uncover everything and put an end to these thieves' charade." She gave me a weak smile.

    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

    Season 3 - Crossed Destinies: The Irresistible Romance of a Seductive Detective and an Innocent Young WomanChapter 1: The First Time I Saw YouFlavian’s POVWhat a boring day! The only thing happening in this city was my parents calling to make my life hell. My father had this fixed idea that I had to leave the police force and join him and my brother in the family business. That would never happen.I had already worked in the family business, both before and after graduating, but managing a network of protein-based food production companies wasn't my calling, nor was taking care of the family farms.I admit that when I started studying law, that was the plan. Even though I didn't particularly enjoy working in the companies, I tried. I chose a career that could add value to business administration, and having legal knowledge would be very useful, since my brother was already graduated in business and accounting.However, I didn't expect law school to transform me. I discovered various

    Samantha’s POVWhen I got pregnant, I never thought nine months would pass so quickly. I was already in my fortieth week of pregnancy, my delivery was scheduled to happen in fifteen days, and my baby's room wasn't even ready yet. It was Sunday morning, and I made Henry help me.I was sitting in the nursing chair reading the crib assembly instructions to him, with Cinnamon lying at my feet."My goddess, why do you always make me assemble furniture when we could hire someone who knows how to do this?" Henry complained for the hundredth time."Because this is your son's crib, and you don't want him falling out because a screw wasn't properly tightened," I said, rubbing my enormous belly."And you think someone who does this for a living is more likely to leave a loose screw than me, who's never assembled a crib in my life?" He looked at me as if I'd grown two extra heads."Yes! It's your son's crib, and you don't want him to fall, so you'll be more careful than anyone else in the world."

    Manuela’s POVWe were all at Patrick's house for a pool and barbecue day. It had been about two weeks since they arrested that crazy Nicole, and things were calm again.Even so, I noticed Flavian was a bit agitated. He walked quite far away to take a call and seemed very nervous. He had been like this for a while - distant, agitated, and receiving mysterious messages and calls. But I thought it was just work-related, so I didn't keep asking questions.Virginia sat down on the lounger next to me and caught my attention."What's going on, Little Key?""Nothing's going on, Vi!" I tried to cover up."Oh, but something is. And you're not going to do like Sam and keep us in the dark. Should I call Melissa now?" Virginia threatened, and I thought it better not to involve Melissa yet - she was capable of subjecting Flavian to torture until he confessed even things he hadn't done."Don't call Mel, not now," I said quickly. "It's just that Flavian's acting strange.""Strange how?" she asked me,

    Samantha’s POVAfter the scare, I couldn't stop laughing, watching Henry lying on the stretcher next to me, all grumpy."Can you try to control yourself, Samantha?" Henry asked, annoyed."I can't..." I was laughing like I was at the circus."Samantha, Molina already explained that I fainted because I got too emotional," Henry huffed."My darling, you fainted during our baby's first ultrasound, what's going to happen in the delivery room?" I asked, unable to stop laughing."This won't happen again, Samantha." Henry was wearing a stern face.The curtain door opened and Melissa came in looking serious, carrying a tray with snacks for me and my sensitive husband."Oh, Henry, how embarrassing!" Melissa couldn't contain herself and started laughing, making me laugh even harder. "Alvaro didn't let everyone in, but when you get out, be ready because the guys are going to tease you mercilessly.""Damn it, Melissa! You better control them. It's your fault." Henry complained."How is it my fault?

    Henry’s POVI was sitting in my company's reception area telling Julia about the incredible trip I had with Sam when my phone rang - it was Patrick."Patrick, we just had lunch together. Not even my wife misses me this much," I answered laughing, wondering what silly thing Patrick was going to say."Man, I love you!" Patrick said, but he didn't sound as relaxed as usual. "Sam is okay...""What do you mean Sam is okay? What happened, Patrick?" All my internal alarms went off."Henry, something happened, but she's fine. Flavian had police officers watching around the company, and Sam's security guard acted quickly. But she was taken to the hospital." Patrick was beating around the bush."Patrick, just tell me what happened," I demanded while walking to the elevators, telling Julia I'd talk to her later."Nicole showed up here looking for Sam, but Michael protected her. Whatever that crazy woman threw at Sam hit Michael instead. Nicole was arrested, and Sam fainted, so we thought it best

    Samantha’s POVFor a week, Henry and I enjoyed each other's company sailing along the coast. We discovered many small coastal towns, picturesque fishing villages, found tiny paradise-like islands and secluded coves. We talked, made love, laughed, and relaxed.When we docked back in our city, I didn't even want to return anymore, didn't want to leave those sweet moments full of love behind, but there was no way around it, real life came knocking sooner or later. The good part was that we would have a lifetime to enjoy beautiful moments together.On Monday, I actually thought everything was very quiet at work, I hadn't seen any sign of the girls yet, which surprised me, but at lunchtime, they all came to my floor, including Melissa and Hebe, bouncing and curious."Darlings, I'm back!" I joked when I saw that group of women walking toward me."I'm wondering if you're not ashamed of coming back from your honeymoon without video calling us," Melissa was the first to complain."Actually, I t

    Samantha’ POVI was laughing at Henry's frustration as he searched for my dress zipper without success, while I thought he was just letting his hands wander over my body. I raised my left arm and pointed to the hidden clasp on the side of the dress.He flashed a big smile and started pulling the clasp down very slowly, his eyes gleaming. After undoing it completely, he placed his hands gently on my shoulders, sliding the dress straps down my arms, making it fall slowly down my body until it became a cloud of fabric at my feet. He then stepped back and gazed at me."My goddess, you're the most beautiful woman in the world!"I smiled at him, feeling as if it was the first time he'd complimented me, though he always did, but at this moment his eyes were worshiping me. He came closer, took me in his arms, laid me on the bed, and positioned himself on top of me, still fully clothed, covering my mouth with his.With his kisses, he explored every inch of my body, moving up and down, distribut
