Alexander’s POV

When we returned to my office, I was boiling with anger. We told Rick everything Jacqueline had told us at the coffee shop.

"Now, Rick, I want you to officially notify all our business partners, clients, suppliers, and every place we frequent that Celeste is no longer part of our company. And inform them that she's been trafficking corporate information and has contacts in all of them, and to maintain our partnership, I want them to investigate." I gave Rick his instructions, and he started working on it immediately.

"My God, this is like a cancer spread everywhere." Patrick was as shocked as I was.

"Oh, and call the Social Club and tell them I want Leila out today," I added.

"Alexander, when you were dating that slut Liz, she and Celeste got along really well, right?" Rick asked.

"Yeah, later Celeste said she was disappointed in Liz, that she never imagined it and never wanted to see her again. Why?"

"Because I'm starting to think your reunion with Liz wasn't a coincid

    Manuela’s POVI had barely closed the door, hadn't even recovered from Flavian's father's visit, when the doorbell rang again. What else did that man want? I took a deep breath and opened the door. I felt as if all the blood had drained from my body. There, standing in front of me with a cold smile that seemed almost cruel, was my mother, and right behind her was Julian."Mom?!" My legs trembled, and I thought I would collapse on the floor."Did you miss me, Manuela? Did you think I would forget about you?" She laughed, but it was a humorless laugh. "A mother never forgets her child, especially one as rebellious as you!""Mom, of course I missed you!" I tried to hug her, but she dodged away, which made my heart ache."Won't you invite me in, ungrateful daughter?" My mother spoke in a cold, cutting voice. I merely gestured, and she entered, followed by my brother who rubbed his hand over my head, messing up my hair and pulled my ear hard. This had been Julian's habit since he grew talle

    Manuela’s POVIt seemed things were finally calming down. I got home yesterday after college and Flavian was waiting for me, divorce papers in hand - he was finally divorced. Sabrina was in the past, nothing more than a bad memory now.But he had to work a shift on Saturday, and I would spend the day alone. I planned to use the time to prepare for the upcoming exam week at college. It was mid-afternoon when the doorman called to tell me I had a visitor, someone unexpected whom I wasn't sure I wanted to see, but couldn't refuse. I authorized their entry, quickly changed clothes to look somewhat presentable for my visitor, and sent Flavian a message about the visit.When I opened the door, I found myself facing a man as tall as Flavian who, despite his gray hair, shared many similarities with my boyfriend. Mr. Cesar Moreno was an imposing man, the type who exuded power, wealth, and confidence. Upon seeing me, he offered a polite smile and even appeared friendly. He came in and seemed to

    Flavian’s POVFinally, the divorce hearing had arrived. It seemed like an eternity had passed until this day. I was anxious, nervous, and worried when I arrived at the courthouse. It was almost time for the hearing, and Sabrina still hadn't shown up. The last thing I needed was for this woman to disappear on the day of the hearing."Dr. Castle, if Sabrina doesn't show up, do you think the judge might want to reschedule?" I asked my lawyer, feeling my concern growing."It depends. But don't worry, I have good arguments for him to decide today. I even spoke with him yesterday," Dr. Castle was very calm; his voice never wavered, and he seemed unshakeable.We were called into the courtroom, and still no sign of Sabrina, but just as my lawyer was about to start arguing with the judge to make a decision, Sabrina burst into the room accompanied by a lawyer."This is a waste of time, Flavian," Sabrina complained right away."Counsel, please inform your client this isn't a marketplace," the jud

    Sabrina’s POVIt was almost time for that damn divorce hearing, and Flavian's idiot father still hadn't told me what I should do. The only thing he'd said was that I should be prepared to either attend the hearing or not.Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have told him that I was called to the police station. After I went there and that female detective asked me all those questions, Cesar started changing his behavior towards me. But what else could I do? I couldn't solve this problem alone - I hadn't created it alone, and I knew I couldn't skip going to the police station.I was already nervous, pacing back and forth in the hotel lobby - I've never had much patience for waiting. I decided to call him; I was getting anxious and didn't know what to do anymore. Since he was in this with me, he had to talk to me."What is it, Sabrina? I'm busy," Cesar answered with his usual rudeness."You're always busy, Cesar!" It was the absolute truth - ever since I had known him, which was forever,

    Manu's brother seemed unable to stomach his stepmother, and his comment was what anyone who knew both women would say. What surprised me, however, was their father's reaction, who appeared bothered by his son's words for some reason and reprimanded him."Don't talk nonsense, Cam! You've been overly impressed since Manu visited your house," his father scolded him, but this caught my interest."Impressed?" I asked, wanting them to elaborate. My instinct told me there was more to this."Cam hadn't seen Manu for a year since she came here. He only saw her again when she went to the city to tell him she was moving. But since then, he's been fixated on how much his sister has changed.""When I met Manu, she was already like this. That change had already happened," I explained."Dad, you can't deny they look alike," Cam complained to his father."Keep your voice down, boy! I don't want your sister hearing this nonsense! I've told you before, you're just projecting her image onto Manu," his fa

    Flavian’s POVManu was full of energy that morning. When I got to the kitchen, she was already waiting for me with the breakfast table set. It was good to see her like this, light-hearted and carefree."What do you want to do today, little one?" I asked, already thinking about enjoying the sunny day with my Manu."For starters, I want to read the note my friend gave me yesterday that the detective confiscated," Manu said while spreading jelly on her toast, and I wasn't sure if she was being serious or just messing with me."What note?" I played dumb."Flavian, are we going to have to talk about trust again?" Manu looked at me, and at that time I knew she was serious.I sighed and got up, went to the couch in the living room, and retrieved the note from my suit jacket pocket, which had been forgotten there the night before after I'd dropped it to pick up my little one in my arms. The night had been very good. I returned to the table and handed the note to Manu."Very well! Did that hurt

    Flavian’s POVI had taken the weight of the world off my shoulders. Several days had passed since Sabrina created that circus in my apartment, and after that, she stopped calling me. Manu and I were closer than ever, and even my father had stopped demanding my presence in Bellwood every week."Finally, the day has arrived!" Manu watched me adjust my tie through the mirror."Hmm! And you seem very excited about it." I glanced sideways at her as she let out a small laugh and squeezed herself between the bathroom counter and me."Oh yes, I'm very eager to see my handsome boyfriend talk for an hour about the wonders of being a detective and then spend another hour answering questions from a bunch of eager students." She ran her hands across my chest and kissed my chin."I thought you were eager to be fucked by your handsome, well-endowed boyfriend." I wrapped my arms around her waist, teasing her with a kiss behind her ear."My boyfriend is full of himself, but yes, I'm always eager for th

    Flavian’s POVI saw my sweet Manu, looking beautiful and anxious at me. This woman, so beautiful and young, had complete control over me. She surprised me - I never expected her to stay by my side, to be willing to face Sabrina, my parents, and all the chaos in my life. But she stayed, forgave me for hiding everything from her, and proved her love to me once again. Looking at her, I no longer saw the fragile girl who needed protection. Instead, I saw a strong, determined woman who would face the world by my side.My heart was overflowing with love for this little one, who was looking at me with blazing eyes, yearning for my touch, writhing beneath me. I gazed at her with love and adoration, feeling as if a wave was crashing over me.I lowered myself to her and captured her mouth in a kiss. Our lips met, hot and hungry - there was no room for gentleness in this moment when we were both desperate for each other. I had kissed this woman countless times before, but this time something was

    Manuela’s POVWhen Patrick felt pressured and opened his mouth to assure that Flavian had done nothing wrong, I became certain that whatever was happening, he had not betrayed me, and his intention, though misguided, was to protect me.As the guys kept telling me everything that was going on and repeating over and over that Flavian was afraid I would leave him, I understood what he felt. I could understand his fear, but I couldn't understand why he didn't trust that my love was strong enough to handle it.However, as he spoke, as he lamented and explained how much he loved me, I began to understand that the fear he felt was so real that it prevented him from thinking of another possibility - the possibility that I would stand firm by his side. I felt as if the fear of my reaction had paralyzed his thoughts, and he focused only on the possibility of losing me.I couldn't ignore that he was right about my beliefs, because he was. I would never get involved with a married man, but his sit
