Chapter 182

Author: Maria Anita
After we said goodbye to everyone, Alexander and I stayed a little longer at the house chatting with Jorge, who was in charge of supervising the buffet's wrap-up. Alexander would take me home, but he received a message from John, an employee from London, urgently requesting a video call.

"Love, do you mind coming with me to the office for this video call?"

"Not at all. Let's go, it's still early, not midnight yet, I haven't turned into a pumpkin," I smiled at him.

"You're Cinderella, you should turn into a maid," he joked.

"I'm not Cinderella, I'm the carriage, strong and useful," I bantered back and he laughed at me.

We arrived at the office and Alexander made the call with John, introducing me to him. John congratulated us on our marriage. After resolving everything, Alexander hung up. I was lying on the couch with my feet up. He came over to me, sat down, and placed my feet on his lap.

"My feet are sore," I complained.

"You're pregnant, you need to slow down. And wear lower heels,"

    Lexie’s POVI was anxious about my first day at work. Being Patrick's assistant didn't excite me, as I knew he would fire me at the first opportunity - he only tolerated me because of my brother. But I was eager to see him again; it had been so long since I last saw him when I was nothing more than a teenager. I spent the whole night thinking about it."Lexie!" I heard my brother calling. "Are you daydreaming?""Sorry, just a bit distracted. What did you say?" I really hadn't heard anything he had said."That I'm driving you both there and back, and don't even bother complaining." Flavian was like a father giving orders to his teenage daughter; it was almost funny."Oh, whatever..." I replied, drifting back into my thoughts, barely noticing time passing as we automatically made our way to the office."Lexie, you're distracted today. Is everything okay?" Manu put her hand on my shoulder and examined me at the company elevator door."Must be because you and my brother won't let me sleep,

    Manuela’s POVAfter Sabrina's visit to my classroom, I felt unsettled. I was almost certain that Flavian would hide from me that she had sought him out. But then doubt crept in - did she actually seek him out? And just like that! I was being eaten up by doubts. What seemed like a pointless little visit from Sabrina had become a monster in my head. And the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like the clock hands weren't moving at all.When class finally ended, I was practically already standing. I rushed out of the classroom and found PH and Lexie walking down the hallway."Manu, you should have waited for us inside the classroom," PH complained about my not waiting."I know, I know, but I'm tired, I just want to go home," I tried to hide my impatience."Tired? Yeah, you must be tired, you and my brother barely sleep and don't let me sleep either. The walls in that apartment are pretty thin, you know?!" Lexie laughed, making a suggestive comment about my activities with my boyfr

    Flavian’s POVPatrick called asking if I had time to grab a drink with him. I found my friend unusually serious, which was odd since Patrick was typically a laid-back, playful guy. Something seemed wrong. Either way, it would be good to hang out with him for a while. We agreed to meet after work at a bar, and when I arrived, he was already there."Hey, detective," Patrick greeted me seriously, which already had me worried."What's up, man? What happened?" I asked right away."Ah, Flavian, I don't even know what happened," Patrick sighed."What do you mean?" I ordered a drink and waited for my friend to speak."Something's wrong with Virginia." So that was it. Even I had noticed that Virginia had been acting strange lately, as if she were somewhat disconnected from the group."Patrick, I noticed she's been avoiding the girls, always busy with something, but I didn't think you two were having problems." I looked carefully at my friend, and I knew that expression on his face - I had seen

    Manuela’s POVLexie left Rick's office with a weak smile on her face, and I knew it was because she and Patrick did not get along well."Little Key, let's take Lexie for coffee. I thought this woman would be jumping for joy with the job..." Rick came out laughing behind her."I am happy, Rick, but I'm worried." Lexie remained quiet until we reached the break room, but she really didn't seem like someone who had just landed an excellent job."Well, don't worry. You and Patrick haven't seen each other in a long time, he's changed and become a better person, I guarantee you. And if he's a jerk to you, just tell me and I'll kick his butt." Rick served us coffee and pastries."Rick, how was your trip?" I remembered he went to see Tess at her parents' house to resolve their situation. He didn't want the divorce, but judging by his expression, I guessed he hadn't been successful in convincing his wife."She wouldn't talk to me. She simply hid and had her father send me away." Rick sighed. "It

    Flavian’s POVMy sister called to tell me she would be working as Patrick's assistant. I thought that was great since I knew Patrick would be kind to her. She also said she would take Manu to college since she was at the office. The two of them were getting along really well, which made me happy. After all, Lexie needed a friend, and so did Manu, especially now that things in the group were different.Catherine was busy with her five children running around everywhere, and Sam was occupied with the baby. Tess had left, and Virginia never had time, so the girls were hardly meeting anymore. Only Melissa would regularly stop by the apartment to see Manu, but she was on vacation traveling with Fred.During this time, Rick had grown quite close to Manu. He had been missing his wife, who had left a long time ago, but nobody knew what their situation was, though I suspected Manu did.The ringing phone pulled me from my thoughts about the group. It was Cam, Manu's brother. He was supposed to l

    Lexie’s POVIt had been three days since I sent my resume to Rick, and I hadn't received any response. Maybe it was time to try an employment agency and see if I could find something. Manu was super sweet and let me borrow her car since Flavian had been driving her everywhere due to the drama with her mother, so getting around would be much easier.I printed some resumes, researched a few employment agencies online, got myself ready, and went out to face the battle, as they say. I had a plan and I would make it happen. I would get a job, have my own apartment, and my parents would never force me to do anything I didn't want to do ever again. It couldn't be that hard. But I was wrong.At the first employment agency, I had an interview and took one of those annoying psychological tests, and in the end, they said they would contact me if something matching my profile came up, but it would be difficult. This habit that HR people have of treating us like some profile they define who knows h

    Rita’s POVThe day was scorching hot and I returned from church exhausted, desperately needing a shower and a cold drink. It was tiring to play the role of an abandoned wife and having to accept all the advice and laments about my ungrateful husband who had left home. Truth be told, when I arrived and realized Orlando had moved out, I was quite pleased - I was already tired of him, but I needed to maintain my role as the loving abandoned wife."Cida! Cida!" I called for the maid, but she was such a dimwit, always taking forever to show up."Yes, ma'am?" Cida appeared, drying her hands on her apron."Where's Julian?""Sleeping, ma'am.""Bring me something cold to drink, I'm burning up." The maid left the room and returned with a tray holding the refreshment. She was looking at me suspiciously. "What is it, Cida?""Ma'am, Cam was here earlier.""What did that good-for-nothing come to do at my house? Did you let him in, you useless thing?" I had already forbidden that insufferable man fro

    Cam’s POVAfter visiting my sister, I kept thinking about how to get Rita's sample for the DNA test. Flavian had explained the ways to get it, either through a strand of hair or a glass she had used. So I kept wondering how to obtain it.I came to the conclusion that the best approach would be to enter the lion's den. I woke up early and went to Rita's house at the time I knew she would be at church. I never understood why she spent so much time at church when she was such a terrible person. Perhaps she just wanted to maintain her facade of being a good person for the rest of the town."Cam, good morning." The maid received me and found my presence strange. After I left this house, the few times I came back were because of Manu, who thankfully wasn't here anymore."Hi, Cida, is your boss home? I need to talk to her.""She went to church. And young Julian is sleeping.""Of course he is, that good-for-nothing. I'll wait for Rita, I need to speak with her." I said as I walked in and sat d

    Manuela’s POVI left college with PH by my side - he really hadn't left me alone for a moment. When we got outside, Flavian was already waiting for me beside his car."Hey, little one! I missed you." He pulled me into a hug. "Good evening, Peter Hank.""Good evening, detective." PH replied somewhat awkwardly."Man, just call me Flavian. Sorry about that day, but I think you can understand why." Flavian was apologizing to my friend for how rudely he had treated him when they first met, and I found that sweet."Don't worry about it, Flavian, I understand. And you're right to be jealous - Manu is truly beautiful and very special." PH smiled at me. "Manu, I'll wait for you here at the entrance tomorrow." We said goodbye to my friend and got in the car."Little one, what happened?" Flavian asked as soon as he started the car."Calvin showed up here." I said, still processing that visit."Who?" Flavian looked confused."Calvin, the father of the fiancé my mother arranged for me." I explained
