Chapter 58

Penulis: Maria Anita
Alexander’s POV

Patrick and I took Mari to the airport. I felt a certain melancholy about her departure. This woman was like a mother to me and had been by my side my entire life. I would miss her, which is why I arranged for her to spend one week per month here with us.

"Alexander, I had lunch with Catherine and Melissa today," Mari said, holding my arm. "Peter sent you a message."

"Oh really, Mari? I'm so fond of that kid! What did he want you to tell me?" I said, smiling because my little friend had remembered me.

"He said he wants you to come play with him," Mari relayed the message, making my smile grow even wider. "Boy, Cat is really hurt, but don't give up on her."

I hugged Mari and assured her I wouldn't give up. Mari told us she met Melissa's boyfriend and that he's a good guy, and she told us about the lunch and how my Catherine was doing. I was going crazy missing her. It has been two days since I've heard anything from her.

    Donald's POVAs planned, early in the evening I met up with the guys at Patrick's house. He had a very nice game room and when I arrived, everyone was already there. After the arrival courtesy, Patrick showed me where everything was and made me feel at home."Aren't your parents joining us?" I asked, noticing the absence of Patrick's father and Attila."No, they accepted an invitation from my mother and her husband. They're probably getting wasted on wine," Henry shook his head with a smile as if remembering something. "The last time my mother gathered her friends, her little party lasted three days. They say those gatherings are memorable, but from what I've managed to find out, they're real parties.""That sounds fun," I commented."Yeah, but it's forbidden for anyone under fifty-five," Patrick laughed. "I really want to know what goes on there.""Only after fifty-five and we still have a long way to go. For now, settle for poker," Henry teased his friend."Since I don't have the gos

    "Richard"I arrived at the police station with Lisa and my heart felt like it was going to leap out of my mouth. I only calmed down when I saw Anabel sitting in Flavian's office, holding Melissa's hand."My love! How are you?" I knelt before her and examined her face."I'm fine now, sweetheart." She tried to calm me, but I was nervous and anxious, needing to know what had happened.Anabel and Melissa told me everything that had happened and I was shocked by that man's monstrosity."But when I went back to the kitchen and saw that shattered mug on the floor, I was certain he had been there," Melissa recalled. "I warned Douglas, who ran out while I called Flavian's officers. Thank goodness we managed to catch her in the garage. But Lionel slipped away, he wasn't found in the building.""And now, Flavian? Is Lionel going to get away with this?" I looked at my friend."No, Rick. Bonfim went to look for him, we have a hunch he ran back home. There are many people there he can pay to cover u

    Lionel's POVAfter the investigator left, I put that unpleasant box in the safe, along with the other letters I had already received. I needed to think about what to do with Irina, but that bitch would pay dearly for this betrayal.I closed the safe and went to the living room to call that useless Isidore. I found him talking to Ilana. Ilana... could this girl know about her mother's sordid little story? No, it wasn't possible. Ilana was a good girl, an innocent young woman. I highly doubted she could be complicit in her mother's frivolous behavior. Well, I also didn't believe Irina could betray me, and here I am, completely cuckolded! Ah, I would find out, and if Ilana knew and was complicit in her mother's whoring around, she too would regret deceiving me like this."Daddy!" Ilana stood up and came toward me. "The lawyer is telling me about the surname case. Daddy, we're not going to lose the Lancaster name, are we?!"She looked at me with big frightened eyes, and I examined her face

    "Richard"It was already lunchtime and Anabel still hadn't called to say she was safely home, which was starting to worry me. But I was trying to stay focused on work. There were several people looking after her, so what could go wrong?"Can I come into the audit director's office?" Lexie appeared at the door, being playful."Hey, gorgeous! Did you come down from on high to visit a mere mortal?" I stood up to hug her."I've been missing my friend!" She made a little pout and I laughed."You're the one who found yourself a husband who won't leave your side," I teased, and she laughed."But my husband has a lunch meeting with clients today, so I decided to have lunch with my friend. What do you think?""Like old times?" She nodded. "Love it! Let's go, I'm actually starving."We left the building together, walking to the restaurant about three blocks from the office. Lexie told me about how much she loved being a mother and how Patrick was such a dedicated father. I enjoyed hearing her ta

    Lionel's POVDamn it all! When that idiot doorman called me, I thought it was my big chance to get my hands on that little bastard. He gave me all the information about the service entrance and even gave me the key that opened her apartment's service door. There was no way it could go wrong, but it did! I just didn't know how.As soon as I got off that elevator, I noticed the police activity and heard the officer grilling the doorman. So I hid in the janitor's closet, that tiny place full of buckets and brooms and cleaning products. As soon as it was possible, I checked and the police were no longer with the doorman, so I called him and he helped me leave the building through the garage, which was deserted - they were still searching inside the building.From the car, I called Isidore and gave the order for him to go to my house. There I gathered all the employees and Ilana and instructed that everyone should confirm to whoever asked that I hadn't left the house that day. Later I would

    Anabel's POVMelissa and I went to my apartment, accompanied only by the security guard. We would meet the police escort there, as they would check the building before we arrived. I was certain everything would be fine - after all, I wasn't alone and felt quite safe with all the security arrangements Rick and Flavian had provided.However, when I entered the building and saw that the day doorman was Lionel's informant, I began to feel uneasy. Even so, I didn't say anything. With so many people around me, I doubted Lionel could show up. There were four police officers outside the building, plus two in the lobby, the security guard who stayed at the apartment door, and Melissa who came in with me. What could go wrong?We started packing everything, and as time passed, I began to feel more nervous, to feel restless. That place really couldn't be my home anymore - I was terrified, even with so many people protecting me."What's wrong, Ana?" Melissa had noticed all my restlessness."Nothing
