Chapter 147

Author: Maria Anita
I took yesterday off, and today I was ready for battle. I had rested, thought a lot, and put my head in order. I would go to work and talk to Alexander. I found it strange that he hadn't reached out to me yet.

I felt somewhat insecure, wondering if he had forgotten about me. That woman who kissed him in the reception area, could she be the woman he was looking for? If so, Virginia and Patrick were wrong, and Alexander had already forgotten me. Thinking about this made me sad. I needed to know.

When Rick arrived, I called him for coffee in the break room. He would know the answers.

"Pretty woman, how are you?" Rick asked, examining my face.

"I'm fine, Rick, thanks for taking me home. I passed out before getting there, sorry."

"Don't mention it, Cat. That's what friends are for. It was my pleasure to put you to bed." He said, making me laugh at his double entendre.

"Thank you anyway. But there's something I want you to answer."

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

"Who's that woman?" Rick s

    Lionel’s POVI had to resolve my situation with Irina. At first, it was even fun using this woman for what she really was - a gold digger - but it had become tiresome, and I wanted to cut off her privileges.I had already spoken with the lawyer, and he had started the divorce proceedings. She would be served within two days at most to sign the papers. Since I didn't even want to see her face afterward, I had already given the lawyer full power of attorney so he could sign on my behalf.But first, I would have my fun one last time. I would catch her red-handed perfectly, show her that her young lover was worthless, make her beg for my forgiveness, and screw her one last time exactly the way she deserved. Then, when she received the summons to sign the divorce, I would throw her out on the street with nothing but the clothes on her back. I confess my plan was so Machiavellian that I almost felt sorry for her, almost.After that, I would take my money and travel the world for a while. Don

    Richard’s POVAs soon as we left the doctor's office, Anabel and I sent messages to our families sharing the good news and arranging to gather everyone for dinner on Monday. We wanted some time just for ourselves, savoring this news I had waited so long to hear. So we spent the weekend together, wrapped up in each other's arms, just the two of us and our babies, as if the outside world didn't exist, and we made so many plans.We had agreed we would only start buying things for the babies and planning the nursery after she passed the three-month mark. She was almost at two months, but by Monday I was already so anxious that I couldn't help myself when I saw that pair of little overalls in the store window near the restaurant where I had lunch with Melissa.According to the saleswoman, they were rompers that came as a set with a hand-embroidered collar bodysuit. And along with the overalls, I also bought matching caps, blankets, little shoes, and mittens. When I got back to the office, m

    Tess’s POVI had been waiting for days for that damn denture, and then I was having trouble adapting to it. What an uncomfortable thing! But I had to get used to it no matter what because I needed to work things out with Rick. I was practically broke, and the fleabag motel was charging me, and I had no idea how to pay. I would have to ask my father again. I grabbed my phone and called him."What do you want now, Tess? This isn't a good time," my father complained."What are you doing?" I asked."Selling the last of your mother's jewelry, that bracelet your ex-husband gave her last Christmas when you were still married, and your little engagement ring that she hid before you could blow it all on partying," he laughed."That bitch! I knew I hadn't lost it!" I protested furiously."And don't even bother asking for money. What I get from this already has a destination," he hurried to say."But I don't have anything! And that ring is mine," I complained."Oh, really? Make me give it to you

    Anabel’s POVIt was so hard that life had to be this way, that parents could fail their children so badly, leaving such enormous wounds open. I didn't know if I could forgive Lionel; most likely, I never would. But I also didn't know if I could believe what he had told me. The only thing I was certain of was that my children's lives would be different; they would be surrounded by love and joy.Rick led me to the couch and sat with me, soothing me, comforting me. Soon Sandra appeared with a cup of tea and insisted I drink it, saying it would be bad for the baby if I stayed so upset. I drank the tea, and she took the cup back to the kitchen, leaving Rick and me alone again."Take it easy, sweetheart. Don't let him affect you like this. It's not good for our baby, and even less so for you," Rick spoke softly to me, and he was right.I focused on my baby, on how excited I was for the appointment, on the joy of having a life growing inside me. And I began to calm down, until I felt complete

    Richard’s POVIt had been just over a week since Tess had shown up at the company door, and since then she had vanished. I did not know what to expect, but I was certain she would not give up that easily, and that was making me nervous, as was Lionel's silence.Lionel had been very quiet since the hearing that revealed the DNA results, and that worried me, because as far as I knew, he was just as persistent as Tess. Honestly, everyone being this quiet was a bit unnerving, keeping us in a constant state of alert and fear.However, with this break they gave us, I had time to think. Anabel convinced me not to dismiss Douglas and Sandra, especially Sandra. And after what she did to Tess, I really wanted her by Anabel's side forever. That woman truly was a Pitbull!But I had a very frank conversation with Douglas and Daniel. It upset me that they had hidden something so important from me, but as Ana said, it had been so long ago that it did not even matter anymore, and in their place, I wou

    Tess’s POVThat woman again! If that thing was even a woman, because the strength she had wasn't normal. But what was she doing there? Had Daniel put her to work at the Miller Group? And that fancy little doll that Rick rushed to defend, saying she was his woman? But my father assured me Rick was single, and my father rarely made mistakes.That monster hurt me. The left side of my face was all scraped up and she broke two of my teeth. I had to come straight to the dentist and this would cost me good money, even though for a cheap dentist. But I couldn't go around with broken teeth, especially the front ones. And I knew there was no point filing a complaint with the police, everyone who saw what happened would deny it."Tess, your turn!" The dentist's secretary called me and I entered the office."My goodness, were you assaulted?" the dentist asked when he saw me."No, I was hit by a motorcycle, but the rider fled. Fortunately, it wasn't serious," I replied. "I brought the pieces of my
