Chapter 49

Penulis: Maria Anita
I was exhausted. The week had been chaotic, and I wasn't sleeping well, crying myself to sleep every night. Having talked to Alexander yesterday hadn't helped either; it had left me even more devastated.

"Good morning, friend! How are you?" Mel walked into the kitchen and held my face between her hands, examining me.

"I'm a wreck, Mel. The makeup is just hiding the dark circles. I'm feeling so tired!"

We heard the intercom ring, and Mel went to answer it while I finished giving Peter his breakfast. I was distracted watching my little one; he was my greatest love, and just looking at him calmed my heart. I knew I would have the strength to move forward because of him. He looked at me with a beautiful big smile and those bright violet eyes, and my heart swelled with love.

"You're mommy's love, young man!" I said to him, and he clapped his hands and blew me a kiss. My smile grew wider.

"Cat, it's for you." Mel came from the door holding an enormous arrangement of red tulips.

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S5-Chapter 166

    Richard’s POVI spent the day anxious, though I felt a joy that wouldn't let me wipe the smile off my face. I carefully prepared every detail that depended on me for that wedding. My friends sat with me after I got ready, and we had a moment of post-matrimonial advice and lots of laughter about how those women had us completely domesticated and at the mercy of their desires. But they had hooked our hearts, they were truly our owners, and that made us happy."Well, gentlemen, I have to go. Melissa ordered me to accompany the driver because she wants Bel to see me before the wedding, a family moment." Don stood up. "I'm curious to see my sister in a wedding dress.""Oh, but so am I!" I confessed. But I knew she would look stunning wrapped in a garbage bag, let alone in a wedding dress."I know you are." Don laughed and picked up a small bag I hadn't noticed near him. "She sent you this."I took the small bag curiously. I had sent her a gift, but I wasn't expecting to receive one from her

    Anabel’s POVI never thought a week could take so long to pass. I was anxious and incredibly happy, but it felt like Saturday would never arrive. When it finally did, I was thrilled. The night before, Rick had been kicked out of the house by the girls, who decided to have a pajama party. From what I understood, this was a tradition among the group I had joined, and each day I discovered more about how loyal and close-knit they were.The girls, who had welcomed me warmly, who had been a safe harbor during critical moments, and who I could call friends, prepared an incredible breakfast and showered me with attention and pampering from the moment they woke me up singing "Dancing Days" with such energy it felt like I was waking up in the middle of a lively party."Girls, attention please, we have a tight schedule," Melissa was already prepared to tackle the day, wedding planner in hand, pen at the ready, and all the determination of a commanding general."No, you're not going to make us ar

    Richard’s POVI came home and found Anabel lying on the couch, fast asleep, looking so peaceful. She had left the office early to visit Lionel. She had decided to forgive him. It was such a generous gesture, and I loved her even more for it. I watched her for a moment, not wanting to wake her; she seemed at peace. So I went to take a shower. When I came out of the bathroom, I found her sitting on the bed."How does my future husband come home and not talk to me?" she asked playfully, and I knew she was feeling good about what she had gone to do that afternoon."It's just that my beautiful girl was sleeping, looking so lovely, I didn't want to wake her." I approached her, caressed her face, and gave her a kiss. "How did it go?""It was good. I feel better, lighter, and I think it was good for him too." She smiled."Great! Is he coming to the wedding?" I asked, knowing this had been making her anxious."No. And I understand. Besides, I had already decided to talk to Don. I want him to wa

    Flavian Moreno’s POVI parked in front of the house of that Vivian, Ilana's former friend. That girl had been furious with her friend for getting her into that mess. Vivian had been very cooperative with us in Ilana's case, so we would see if her mother would be equally cooperative, assuming she was the same Vanessa I needed to find."Oh, no!" Vivian closed her eyes and turned her back when she saw me standing outside her door."Is that joy at seeing me, Vivian?" I was sarcastic, and she clicked her tongue."As hot as you are, Detective, I know you're not here to ask me out," Vivian replied. "What is it now? What mess are you going to drag me into?""Relax, Vivian, I didn't even bring Mel today!" I replied and entered the house when she let me in."Melissa... that one is crazy." I couldn't disagree, but I found it amusing."Is your mother home?" I asked without beating around the bush."No, she's not. What did she do?" Vivian crossed her arms in front of her body."Nothing. Yet. I just

    Flavian Moreno’s POVThis story about Antonia Lancaster’s death had become a challenge for me. I had never encountered anything so peculiar. And I had never come across an investigation with so many flaws.. The detective who handled the case simply settled for what appearances indicated and closed the inquiry in less than twenty-four hours, listing the cause of death as suicide.But I knew the system. I knew that, like everywhere else, like in any profession, mistakes were made. Let's say that sometimes bad apples fell into the boxes, just as it sometimes happened that a detective chose the easier path during an investigation. And that was what happened, the detective was satisfied with what he saw. The autopsy report indicated death by overdose of antidepressant medication, and nobody complained, since Antonia Lancaster did indeed have a history of depression and a life of suffering alongside her husband.But something was very wrong with all of it. This type of medication she was tak

    Lionel’s POVAnabel's words cut deep into my soul. All I wanted was to be able to call her daughter and ask for forgiveness. There would never be enough suffering for me to pay for the pain I had caused her. But I could not speak, I could not even move to hug her or at least hold her hand. But she surprised me again and touched my hand, the one that was not yet completely forgotten, and she squeezed it, and I gently closed my fingers over hers. And she continued with her words."Dad, you came to my house and said you hoped that one day I could forgive you. Well, I'm here, with my heart open to you, to say that I have forgiven you. All those days I visited you in the hospital, I was working on this forgiveness, and today I'm here because I have forgiven you. And I'll be here, once a week I'll come to see you. You can expect me. I'll sit here with you and talk to you about life or just sit and hold your hand in silence."She gave me such a pure, genuine smile that my chest filled with mo
