Patrick handed me a glass of water, which I took with trembling hands. It wasn't until Alexander ran his fingers across my face that I realized I was crying."Easy, Catherine. He has no power to hurt you. Don't be afraid, you won't lose your job because of that idiot." My boss spoke softly while rubbing my back to calm me down."That's right, Cat. Don't pay any attention to Johnson, he's a jerk. You're a strong woman, don't let him intimidate you," Patrick said, offering his support."Since when do you take the liberty of using nicknames with my assistant?""Since we became friends. And don't be a jerk of a boss yourself!"I laughed at their banter, and my boss stood up, holding my chin to make me look at him."Not a jerk, but maybe a bit of a scoundrel," he said with a wink and a smile. Why did this idiot have to be so handsome!"Oh my God, you two are avoiding the inevitable!" Patrick said with a grin. "But Cat, I was just telling your boss that I've made reservations for our dinner

I returned to my desk near the end of the workday. I finished up my daily tasks and heard Rick come in singing "Oh! Pretty Woman.""Rick, you'd make it big as a singer," I smiled at him."Maybe, maybe, but I like the vibe in this office. Celeste told me everything - I was on the third floor making copies. Are you okay?" he looked at me, waiting for an answer."Yes, I am. Thanks.""Well then, my friend, I'm heading out. My wife called, she got home early and said she has a surprise waiting for me. I love her surprises, I can't wait!""Look at you, lucky guy. Have a great night!""Thanks. I'll tell you what she was up to at lunch tomorrow. Oh, should we plan something for the weekend? I told her about you and she's excited to meet you.""That would be great! Can I bring my friend?""Of course you can. See you tomorrow, pretty woman!"I smiled at the nickname he gave me and then heard right behind me, close to my ear:"Ah, Miss Vergara, what am I going to do with you? My friend whistles a

I entered the house with my boss's last words echoing in my mind. He would keep teasing me. What did he really want from me? Today had been a roller coaster. Would things ever settle down in that office and become normal?I went to check on my son, who was already sleeping like an angel, clutching his teddy bear. I thought about asking Mel if we could spend Sunday at the park with him - that would be nice. I passed by my friend's room, who was also asleep, and grabbed the baby monitor.I took a shower to wash away all the day's stress, fell into bed, and drifted off to sleep thinking about my boss. I must be going crazy.I woke up and got my little one ready to drop him off at daycare before heading out. He always woke up in such a good mood, smiling at me and chattering about how much he loved his school. While I was getting him dressed, he told me a thousand things about everything he was discovering. I smiled like a fool - it was so wonderful to see my son growing up happy.I got my

Everyone arrived, and my boss told me to lock my office door and close his office door when I entered. We sat on the sofas, and Alexander began."Here's the thing - you four are the only people I trust right now, so this meeting's topic is confidential, and no one else should know about it. Six months ago, I noticed some small inconsistencies between the financial reports, accounting, and commercial reports. So Patrick and I started looking more carefully. With the last financial report, we were certain something was wrong when we cross-referenced the data. I think someone is stealing from the company."I felt uneasy; this was very serious. I looked at Rick, who was as focused as I was. Then Patrick spoke:"Yeah, folks, but it's not just money being diverted - they're diverting other resources too. Plus, some clients are reducing their business frequency with us, and some have simply terminated their contracts.""Then guys, this is even more serious, because if the company is under dif

I heard my boss calling and turned around, thinking he was going to give me more work."Yes, Mr. Miller?""Close the door, please, and come here."I closed the door, went back, and stood in front of him. He was sitting on that same couch that reminded me of insane things.Alexander had a somewhat desolate posture, with his elbows resting on his knees and his head down. I wanted to run my hands through his hair and tell him everything would be okay, but I didn't.Every time he touched me, he completely took me away from reason. His simple touch, no matter how superficial, made my skin burn and my body beg for him. What this man caused in me was inexplicable.He stood up in front of me and pulled me by the waist into his embrace. It was calm, gentle, and affectionate. It was different from all the interactions we'd had until now, but at the same time, it was a familiar sensation that warmed my heart.I felt him place a warm kiss on my right shoulder before speaking in my ear:"I don't kn

Alexander’s POV During the ride, I noticed that Catherine was very tense and worried. Whatever it was had changed my assistant's mood.When we arrived, she jumped out of the car running, and I followed right behind her. She looked at me as if wanting to ask what I was doing, and I hurried to answer:"I'll go with you. I don't know what the emergency is, but you might need help."She didn't say anything, just nodded. When we entered her apartment, a lady came to meet us."Catherine, I'm so glad you're here, I was about to call you," the woman said worriedly."Where is he, Lygia?" Catherine asked anxiously."He's in the bedroom, and his fever's gotten worse. I was just getting him some water," the woman replied while I wondered who the hell was 'he.'Catherine rushed down the hallway, and I couldn't help but follow. When I entered the bedroom, I saw her pick up a child and say sweetly:"It's okay, my love. Mommy's here."Mommy? She's a mom? My head was spinning as I watched the scene. H

Alexander’s POV I couldn't sleep and spent the night pacing around my apartment. At five in the morning, I went down to the building's gym, needing to release all the tension. I spent the next hour kicking and punching a punching bag. By seven, I was already at the company.I took the opportunity to call Alberto Alencar. I knew him and was aware that he was the type of man who woke up early and started working very early, so I didn't mind the hour. We talked for a good while, and I briefly explained what was happening and that looking for him was Catherine's suggestion. He was very happy to hear her name, saying she had been a valuable resource for him and her insight was crucial in finding evidence.After speaking with Alencar, I received a message from my assistant asking if she could be late, as she needed to wait for the babysitter to arrive since her son couldn't go to daycare. I replied immediately:"Catherine, stay home with your son today."The phone screen quickly lit up with

Alexander’s POV After everyone left my office, I took the opportunity to make a few more calls and handle some paperwork. The morning flew by, and soon Patrick showed up, dragging me out for lunch.When we returned, I decided to stop by the bakery, thinking I'd brighten my assistant's day a bit. I was burning with curiosity about her son's father, but I could wait until she was less tense to tell me.When I got back to the office, she was already at her desk working. I asked about her son, and with a big smile, she said he was doing well and chatty as always. I smiled and went to my office.Near the end of the day, I went to the door and called my assistant. When she came in, I locked the door. Her eyes widened at me, and I told her to sit on the couch. I had many questions for her, but I'd decided to save them for tomorrow, at home - it would be less formal. She was already quite overwhelmed, and my idea was to ease her tension a bit.When she sat down and crossed her legs, I offere

Samantha’s POVI was relieved to see my mother was okay. It was incredibly lucky that Enzo ran into her - one of those things that nobody can explain, where some call it luck and others divine providence. But I can definitely say this kid saved me again. After they told everything that happened at the mall and Henry confirmed that the Nicole who was with my mother was the same Nicole who was his ex-girlfriend, everything made sense.And we were heading to the police station - my mother, Enzo, Henry, and me. Honestly, I just wanted to go home, but Flavian asked us to come there, so there was no way around it."Henry, why did Flavian ask us to go to the police station?" I asked, still not accepting that I couldn't go home."Sam, you were the victim of Romulus's setup. It was a fake kidnapping, true, but clearly intended to force you to go to him. Plus, your mother's phone was stolen and used for this." Henry repeated the same thing, but I felt he was hiding something from me."I want to

Flavian’s POVI had to say, this raid on Pipote Hill was only supposed to serve three arrest warrants for homicide, but it turned into a complete mess. Three drug dealers dead and two cops wounded, all because they wouldn't let us in. It was all because of that punk Sandro who decided to set up a drug spot here. I only decided to serve these warrants personally snice one of them was Sandro's drug spot manager, and I wanted information about this Romulus guy.At least no civilians were hit. People keep talking about stray bullets, but there was no such thing - there are only bullets that find their targets, and innocent people became those targets, which really upsets me. But fortunately, this time no innocent civilians were shot. Though one of the subjects named in the warrants died - he was one of Sandro's soldiers. We arrested the other two. That was six fewer criminals on the streets."Let's move out, team!" called the military police sergeant who came to support us. "Detective, I t

Samantha’s POVI was getting increasingly nervous. As the car moved toward my destination, I felt more helpless, scared, and distressed. The taxi driver, a very kind gentleman, watched me through the rearview mirror while keeping his eyes on traffic. He drove slowly and carefully, perhaps due to his age, making sure not to cause any accident.My phone rang and I grabbed it from my purse - it was Enzo. I couldn't answer him, I just couldn't. But he persisted. He always did, and I always answered. I thought it through - if I didn't answer, it would raise suspicions. Sure, Michael must have returned to the company, but he probably thought I was in another department and wouldn't be alarmed yet. Maybe he was still looking for me inside the building. So, it was better to answer Enzo.When he told me he was with my mother, I couldn't believe it. Then he put her on the line, and I heard her voice. I couldn't hold back anymore, started crying, and explained that Romulus had called me from her

Enzo’s POVBeing a student was getting harder and harder. The English teacher decided to make us read a book that was almost impossible to find. I had to trek all the way across town because out of all the bookstores in the malls, only this one had it. Everyone was complaining that they couldn't buy the book because they couldn't find it. I spent two days on the phone and finally tracked it down. So I rushed to secure my copy to avoid getting a zero on the test that the teacher had already warned us about.But since I was at the mall, I might as well take a little walk around. I bought the book first - I had reserved it, but you never know if someone might accidentally sell my copy, so I went to the bookstore first. When I left, I was walking through the food court when I spotted Aunt Pearl at a café nearby. I had to say hello."What a coincidence! Aunt Pearl, how are you?" I approached and noticed she was with a younger woman who was pretty but strange-looking."Enzo, darling, what a

Samantha’s POVMy bachelorette party was the most fun event I'd ever been to, despite the snake incident. Erica and Emilia had really outdone themselves. However, it wasn't as enjoyable for Henry, who was tense and worried when he came to pick me up.At home, he told me about his suspicion that Isabella had sent the snake, and I was surprised - I hadn't thought that insufferable woman would be so brazen.We spent Sunday at home, resting and just enjoying each other's company. It was nice to have that peaceful moment with him, knowing the upcoming week would be hectic with wedding preparations, even though everything was already set.This week, I needed to get ahead with all my work since I'd be on my honeymoon with Henry the following week. Starting Thursday, I wouldn't be working as I'd be at the beach house overseeing all the wedding setup. I was so busy that during lunch, I just had a quick snack while working and turned Manu away when she came for afternoon coffee.Then my phone st

Romulus’s POVLittle Samantha must have been crazy if she thought she could ghost me like that. I've called several times and she won't answer, where could she be hiding? I needed to teach her a lesson, but this week I couldn't put my plan into action since Sandro needed me to check the accounts at his drug spot.Sandro wanted me to move to the hill, but to be honest, I preferred little Nicole's apartment, it was better located. But there's no way around it, I made a deal with him and he was the boss. He only gave me one more week to sort things out with little Samantha.I would use this week to resolve my situation with little Samantha and deal with little Nicole too. I was running out of patience with her, but it had to look like an accident, after all, she's Sandro's sister. I was going to do the job and blame the old man, but the idiot got arrested and was even trying to go back on our deal. He wanted little Samantha all to himself - that was pure greed.But little Nicole was still

Henry’s POVI arrived at the Social Club with Edward and Enzo. The guys had reserved a room there and they'd gone all out - they'd set up a room with a pool table, poker table, and arcade games, leather sofas scattered around, and a 1950s-style bar stocked with every kind of drink. This was going to be fun and relaxing."So, ready for your last bachelor party bender?" Patrick asked as soon as I arrived."I thought this day would never come." Alexander approached and handed me a glass.Only then did I notice they were all wearing the same t-shirt - a black one with a cartoon of me being dragged by a rope tied to my foot by a cartoon of Sam, with "game over" written below. These guys were acting like kindergarteners.As if the t-shirts weren't enough, they had prepared several activities, and they all involved lots of alcohol. I probably wouldn't remember my own name the next day.I was already slightly drunk when I saw Flavian answer a call and slip out of the room. When he came back, h

Samantha’s POVThe plans for the night were explained, and the girls decided to start the games. Soon we were all seated, and a bowl with folded papers was placed in front of me."Let's start with the lingerie, everyone grabs your box," Erica said, kicking things off."Okay, Sam, you'll draw a paper and read what's written. To win the gift, you have to guess who experienced the situation described in the paper. If you guess wrong, you'll have to share a situation that happened to you. When you open the present, you'll keep your eyes closed and feel around to figure out what it is. Got it?" Emilia explained the rules of the game."Oh my god! Alright, let's begin," I said and drew the first paper. "On my first time, my boyfriend and I watched some movies to learn because it was his first time too. When we tried to do a position we saw in a movie, I accidentally kicked him in the face, and he fell off the bed and broke his nose. I ended the night still a virgin and in a hospital making up

Samantha’s POVThe week had finally ended, and it had been exhausting. Romulus kept calling and threatening me, but Flavian said the wiretap was active and they were gathering lots of evidence, including proof of other crimes Romulus was committing, so he'd be arrested again soon. But it was horrible to keep getting his calls and hearing threats, not knowing what to expect.As if that wasn't enough, ever since he found out that Edward's sisters were organizing my bachelorette party, Henry had been pestering me to know what they had planned, why I'd let them organize the party, and if there would be any kind of wild rituals, as he put it. I assured him I knew nothing about it, but that he shouldn't worry. However, he kept suggesting every five minutes that we should ditch our friends and family and spend time just the two of us. He was driving me crazy with this whole thing, but I wouldn't budge - I was having my bachelorette party, and it would be fun, he'd just have to deal with it.I
