Chapter 85

Author: Maria Anita
When we arrived at the karaoke bar, the place was completely packed. Levy gave our names at the door, and a friendly staff member led us to a reserved table near the stage, promptly calling a waiter over.

We sat down and ordered our drinks. There was a couple on stage singing Kid Abelha's "Intimate Painting" completely off-key, but everyone in the bar was singing along and encouraging them to continue. It was a very laid-back atmosphere with incredible energy - everyone was laughing, singing, dancing, clapping, whistling, as if they were at the greatest show on earth. The place was beautiful, with dim lighting, and the band was truly sensational.

We had barely sat down when Virginia already signed up for a song and started forcing everyone at the table to do the same. When it was my turn, I stalled by saying I was undecided about which song to choose.

"Oh no, Catherine, don't even start. You're getting up on that stage tonight," she demanded.

"Okay, Vi, but give me a minute to choose t

    We woke up the next morning to the delicious smell of coffee. Lygia had already set up a beautiful table for us. We had all crashed on mattresses in the living room, and it had been so much fun spending this time among women.Peter came running and jumped between us, laughing and talking to all the girls, and everyone wanted to hold and spoil him. We got up and there was quite a line for the bathrooms, with lots of chatter and jokes, like a bunch of teenagers, which was pretty fun. After getting my son and myself ready, we went to have breakfast.We were laughing and talking about karaoke when Virginia's phone rang on the table and she answered on speaker."Good morning, little brother! Did you sleep well?""Very well, shorty!" Levy replied in a great mood. "Are you still at Catherine's house?""Yes, I am. I'll stay here a bit longer and head home after lunch, why?""Look, shorty, your little friends ruined our night yesterday, so the guys and I thought you could make it up to us," Lev

    When I felt a hand touch me, I already knew whose it was. My whole body tingled at Alexander's touch. Soon after, I heard behind me:"Again, Tess? Now every time I see you girls, you're surrounded by this bunch of guys?" Rick ranted, and we started laughing like crazy."Oh, so you're playing smart, aren't you?" Alexander said, putting his hand on my shoulder. "You did this on purpose!""Nobody invited you here!" Mel replied without even looking at Fred's face."Oh, really? So my dear wife came home and told me exactly where and when she'd be just because she wanted me to know?" Rick huffed."I just saved you the trouble of tracking me again, but I never invited you or your little friends," Tess responded.Levy and his friends seemed to be enjoying the others' discomfort. Then Angel had a great idea."Since we're all here, let's sit down and have a good time. Let's play blackjack, drink, and chat. What do you say, gentlemen?""If you want our company, you better agree, because we're not

    The game room at Patrick's place was truly incredible, like stepping into a Las Vegas casino. It had everything: bright lights, roulette, card tables, arcade machines, slot machines - an endless variety of games. Everything was elegant and well-organized."Welcome to my humble abode," Patrick said with an exaggerated bow."Don't show off, Patrick. There's nothing humble about your house. This is excessive for someone who lives alone," Samantha cut in."I just like entertaining friends, Sam," Patrick explained. "Anyway, drinks are at the bar, make yourselves at home. I've ordered some snacks for us. Let's sit down and enjoy the evening.""Shall we continue with blackjack?" Angel asked, and everyone agreed.Patrick got the chips and decks ready and set up the table. Everyone grabbed their drinks and we sat down to play. The game was flowing smoothly and fun until we received a message from Virginia."It's about to begin.""Hey guys, these bets are getting boring. What do you say we spice

    "Let the games begin!" Virginia declared.The first round started. Cards were being dealt, and soon Fred busted and was out. Levy also went over, which made Alexander very pleased. At the end of the first round, Angel won with twenty points, and Fred groaned uncomfortably in his chair."Well, Fred, I'm sorry, but I won't waste my opportunity," Angel said, turning to Mel who smiled deviously. "Someone keep time."Angel ran his fingers across Mel's cheek, then moved his hand to the nape of her neck, pulling her in for a tender kiss on her lips."Time's up. Twenty seconds," Patrick Guzman called out hastily.Angel pulled away from Melissa with a charming smile, while she had the most dazed expression on her face. Fred's expression was beyond mere discomfort. Melissa smiled at Angel and then turned to Fred."See, prince, that didn't hurt," Melissa winked at her boyfriend.Everyone couldn't help but laugh. But Alexander whispered in my ear:"There's no way another guy is going to kiss you."

    As we entered his apartment, Alexander stopped behind me, held my waist with one hand, and with the other, pulled my hair to one side while kissing me exactly where Levy had kissed me earlier."No one, absolutely no one but me will ever put their hands or mouth on you again, Catherine. You're mine, only mine. You might be upset, hurt, or angry, but you're mine. And I'm going to kiss every inch of skin on your delicious little body today so you'll remember that and erase any damn sensation that idiot Levy might have caused.""And you, Alexander? Are you only mine too?" I asked angrily. "Or will you keep sleeping with any whore who shows up when I'm not around?""I'm all yours, my love. I don't remember anything from Mari's party night. But we're not going to talk about that now because right now I'm going to kiss you and make love to you and make up for all the time we've missed. And I'm going to engrave in every cell of your body that you're mine and that I love you."And that's exactl

    When we arrived at Patrick's house, the girls were already there and came running to take Peter from Alexander's arms, who got a bit grumpy while talking to them."Easy there, you crazy girls! Be careful with my little buddy!""Finally, I get to meet Peter!" Rick commented, approaching with a smile.My son was surrounded by my friends who made him laugh and let out little squeals from the tickles he was getting on his tiny belly, making me smile too! Suddenly he looked at Alexander."Alexanda, pool!" He said with his bright violet eyes."Let's put on the floaties and sunscreen first, Peter," I said to him as he was already stretching his little arms toward Alexander."Leave it to me, Cat. I'll take care of our boy today, have fun and relax," Alexander said, giving me a huge smile.He looked even more handsome under the sun, with his messy hair, sunglasses, white shirt, and short. He wore flip-flops, and even his feet were beautiful. He took Peter's bag from my hands and busied himself

    Another week started and flew by. Alexander really didn't keep his distance - he kept sending messages, flowers, and afternoon snacks. What changed was that he called me every night and we'd chat for a while. He told me that after everything Margaret revealed, the audit was moving faster, and they were working for a few hours every night at Patrick's house. But he hadn't told me what Margaret said, only that she knew a lot but never thought it was important.Melissa established Tuesday as girls' night, so we went to the Social Club again and had dinner there. We always had plenty to talk about, and fun was guaranteed with that group. Samantha had started working with Alexander and was really enjoying the job, although she couldn't stand Celeste, so she had lots to tell us."Seriously, Cat, it's written 'lying, fake, gossiping troublemaker' on Celeste's forehead - how did you not see it?" Samantha asked."Cat always sees the best in people, Sam. I got tired of warning her about that cou

    On Friday, Melissa, Peter, and I caught a flight to Bellwood. When we arrived, Melissa's family driver was already waiting for us and drove me to my parents' farm, where they were expecting us. I said goodbye to my friend, and we agreed that she would come to see us the next day."Sweetie!" My mother came running to hug me, already in tears."Mom, I missed you so much!""And where's grandma's baby? Come here, my little darling!" My mother took Peter from my arms, and I took the opportunity to hug my father."My daughter, it's so wonderful to have you both home!""Thanks, Dad. It's really good to be here.""Let's go inside, it's already dark. Tomorrow you can explore the farm." My father was clearly excited about the farm.We went inside, and my mother already had dinner on the table. We sat down and had the meal together. How I missed being with them. Peter fell asleep in grandma's arms, who put him to bed and then joined my father and me in the living room."So, Catherine, how's life

    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.

    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

    Henry’s POVThe week was coming to an end. The days had been challenging, but in a week, I would say yes to the woman of my life, and we would be united in marriage. However, what truly united us was our love. And each day, I loved her more.If someone had told me a while back that I would be eager to get married and have a family, I would have called them crazy. But at those days, that was all I felt - eagerness for the wedding, for the arrival of my child, eagerness to get home every day and see the woman of my life smiling at me. I was a lucky man; I had everything that made me happy and even more."Good morning, Henry!" Melissa greeted me with a very cheerful and festive hello."Good morning, crazy girl! What's got you so happy?" I asked, finding her too effusive."Oh, I don't know, maybe a girls-only party tomorrow, or the wedding of history's biggest ladies' man next week..." Melissa pondered, looking up with a pen in her mouth, making me laugh."Mel, what's going to happen at th

    Samantha’s POVIt was very difficult to calm Henry down when I called to tell him what happened at the dinner. He wanted me to quit immediately, and it took a long time to convince him that I was safe inside the company.I knew he would rush out of his office to come to my workplace again, which was happening far too frequently lately. Fortunately, it was already the end of the day, so his work wouldn't be left aside once more because of me.Henry arrived in less than half an hour, leaned on my desk, and looked into my eyes - his irritation was palpable."Samantha, I wasn't happy about you working and being exposed to danger before, and now that you're pregnant, I like it even less. We should rethink this," Henry placed both hands on my desk and immediately voiced his concerns."And what do you expect me to do? Stay locked up at home?" I asked calmly. "Because that's not going to happen.""Sam!" Henry threw himself into the chair in front of my desk, completely frustrated. "I don't wan
