Chapter 96

Author: Maria Anita
After they left, I put my son to bed and went back to the living room to chat with my parents.

"Why didn't you tell us you had problems there, honey?" my father asked right away.

"Because I didn't want to worry you, and because I have a friend who's my guardian angel who helped me find another job just as good," I answered honestly.

"Alexander said you're now working for his friend, but that you'll go back to working with him," my father said.

"I haven't decided yet. We'll see," I replied.

"Cat, we just want you to be happy. I like this young man, he has good intentions, he's serious and responsible. He came here and was honest, owned up to his mistakes. He seems like a good man, and the way you look at him, you're in love," my father hadn't missed a thing.

"Yes, Dad. He is a great man and I am in love," I confirmed.

"Then don't get hung up on silly things," my mother said. "Forgiveness is good for you, understand that. Pride won't get you anywhere. Don't forget that."

"I won't forget,

    I waited for the guys at the gate and got into the car before Alexander could get out to help me."What's wrong, angel?" Alexander asked after Fred drove off."My mother's sister made an unpleasant appearance. But I'll tell you later, I don't want to stress about it now. Good morning to you both." I forced a smile.Peter chatted the entire way, even telling Alexander how he stuck his tongue out at the "witch," which made everyone laugh.At Melissa's house, we were warmly welcomed. Her parents were crazy about Peter and kept insisting they wanted another grandchild, but Melissa wasn't interested in that yet.After lunch, Mr. Larson called Alexander and Fred to his office to discuss business. Melissa and I did the same thing with her mother that we did with mine, filling her in on all the details of our life in Paradise Port.When we said goodbye, Melissa left home with her suitcase ready since our flight was that evening. We were taking Peter for ice cream before going to my house to ge

    I woke up in the arms of the love of my life. There's no better feeling in the world than being held by the one you love. I was lying with my head resting on Alexander's chest, our legs intertwined and his arms around me. We were naked; Alexander had prevented me from putting on a nightgown, saying he wanted to feel my skin against his, and it truly was the best sensation in the world being pressed against him without any barriers."Good morning, my angel." I felt his kiss on my head and looked up at him smiling."How can you wake up looking so handsome?" I asked, smiling like a fool as he pulled me in for a soft kiss on my lips. "Good morning, my love!""Mmm! I love that sound. Say it again," Alexander said playfully."What? That you wake up handsome? You're the most handsome man I've ever seen." I said with a huge smile."I like hearing that too, but I asked you to repeat the other thing," he insisted."Good morning?" I teased."Are you teasing me, my angel?""Just a little! My love!

    Alexander’s POVI dropped Catherine off at Lynx World and headed to my company. We had a wonderful weekend. Her parents were great people and welcomed me so warmly that I felt like part of the family. That meant a lot to me. Sure, we had that unpleasant incident with her ex, and her cousin was just jealous. But overall, our weekend was amazing.She came back to me, and that filled my heart almost to bursting with happiness. And Peter made everything even more perfect. If my parents were alive, they would have been charmed by Catherine and loved Peter as if he were truly their grandson.Thinking about my parents still caused me infinite pain and longing, especially after learning that the accident that killed them might have been intentional - that knowledge was like a knife to my chest. I needed to find out the truth. Alan was taking care of everything, and until he had information, I would have to wait and control my anxiety. This waiting was making me restless.When I arrived at my c

    "Hey Mel, Henry called me. Do you know what for?" I asked my friend when I entered her office at the end of the day."I don't know, Cat. I didn't even know he called you. I'll let him know you're here." Melissa got up and went into the boss's office, then came back and gestured for me to go in."Catherine!" Henry greeted me with a huge smile. "First, let me say how happy I am that you and my friend have finally reconciled.""Thanks, Henry. I hope your friend doesn't mess things up with me again." I said with a smile."If he does, you know I'm here to help you kick his butt." Henry said firmly."Oh, right! Just like you did this time, spying on us and telling him everything." Melissa mocked him."Oh, Mel, I can't be too hard on him, he's my friend," Henry said like a teenager, making us burst into laughter. "But you can always count on me, Catherine.""Thanks, Henry, it's good to know that." I was sincere because Henry had really helped me a lot by giving me a job and supporting me when

    I looked back and couldn't believe what I saw. Patrick and Alexander were heading our way, and Alexander was carrying my son in his arms. Peter had such a happy little face and was waving at everyone who passed by, making them sigh and comment on what a beautiful little boy he was.When they reached my desk, my little one wiggled his arms and shouted:"Mommy! I came to get you!"My eyes welled up with tears as I took my son in my arms, covering him with kisses."I hope you don't mind that I picked up Peter and sent Lygia home," Alexander said with a smile."Of course not, my love!" I moved closer, and he gave me a soft kiss on the lips."Mommy, Uncle Patrick gave me this, look!" My son showed me a package full of candies, lollipops, and chocolates he had received."Oh really?! And did you say thank you?" I asked my little one."Yes, mommy.""Very good!" I gave him another little kiss. "Thank you, Patrick.""Don't mention it, Cat. This kid is amazing!" Patrick said, making my heart swel

    The next morning, Alexander insisted on taking Peter to daycare and then dropping me off at work again. He said he wanted to make the most of every second with us.When we dropped Peter off at daycare, his teacher also thought Alexander was his father, commenting on how similar they looked. Once again, Alexander didn't let me correct the misunderstanding and proudly accepted the compliment.However, on the way to Lynx World, Alexander was rather quiet, seemingly lost in thought. I figured it was because of everything we'd discussed the night before. When we were almost there, he finally asked:"Cat, why did your cousin and her husband say you don't know who Peter's father is? I know I should wait until you're ready to talk about this, and I'll respect it if you're not comfortable telling me. But it's been nagging at me. When I found out about Peter, I asked Mari if she knew who his father was, but she said only you could tell me because it's very personal.""Alexander, we're almost at

    At the end of the day, I called my boyfriend to let him know we wouldn't be seeing each other."Angel, I'm glad you called. Is everything okay?""Hi, love. Yes, everything's fine. I just wanted to let you know that we can't meet today.""And may I know why my girlfriend is ditching me?""Today is 'girls' club' day. We're going to the mall and then everyone's sleeping over at my place.""So I'm forced to miss you and Peter? I'm not sure I like your friends," Alexander whined like a child."Take the chance to go out with your friends - they'll all be in the same situation as you. We'll see each other tomorrow," I said, laughing."Alright. Besides, I don't want any trouble with the troops.""Troops?""Yes, troops. You're a battalion of women with a very well-organized structure, ready for war. I'd rather avoid that." I heard him say this and burst out laughing."But angel, please no meeting up with Levy and his little friends.""Don't worry, it'll be just us girls."We said goodbye and I

    During the drive to his apartment, Alexander remained very calm, keeping his hand resting on my knee the entire way, only moving it occasionally to take my hand and place a gentle kiss on it.He didn't say a single word during the entire journey, which I found curious because I had seen fire in his eyes at the restaurant. Those violet eyes had been almost incandescent.In the building's garage, he unbuckled my seatbelt, opened the car door, and helped me out. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close. We walked slowly and casually to the elevator and went up to his apartment, still in complete silence.When we entered, he told me to wait while he got a plate and utensils from the kitchen for us to eat the cake. He returned with a slice of cake on a plate, two forks, and a bottle of chocolate syrup. He took my hand and calmly led me to the apartment's rooftop.It was beautiful, with a privileged view of the city. I had been to his apartment only a few times and hadn't been

    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

    Reynold’s POVI was still wondering how that idiot Henry managed to get to that hotel. When Samantha walked in, I was sure she was expecting to meet him, and just by her being there, I knew she hadn't talked to that fool. But somehow he found out and ruined my plans.And that wasn't all - he showed up with that brute of a detective who immediately started pushing me around. God, that detective's hand was heavy; the punch he gave me in the face still hurt.I just wanted my night of pleasure with Samantha, and I wasn't willing to share my first time with her with that little thug Romulus. I made a deal with him, but I wasn't interested in waiting until he felt like letting me fuck that hot piece. So I handled it my way - borrowed some money from Reuben and put my plan into action. I remembered the lunch at Hebe's house when Samantha was talking about how Henry would make romantic surprises and always give her red roses - such terrible tackiness! But it was useful because she fell for my

    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

I no longer dwelled on what happened and the nightmares had stopped.Romulus had disappeared, which should have put me at ease, but I knew that his temporary absence meant he was plotting something, and that made me uneasy. And that Nicole, who now frequently appeared near the company building, wouldn't let me forget that Romulus was still a threat.Making the situation more tense, Isabella decided to make her presence known in my life as well, which was becoming irritating.

    Samantha’s POVAfter a refreshing shower, I was already feeling much better and more upbeat. When I sat down at the table for breakfast, I felt my stomach growling with hunger. We had breakfast laughing and chatting about everyday things, while Enzo secretly fed Cinnamon under the table with small pieces of everything, as if we couldn't see him.I had gone through something horrible the night before, but being there surrounded by those three showering me with attention and affection, trying their best to make me laugh, was like a balm for my neartragedy. It was so good to have them around, and it greatly improved my mood."Sam, what do you think about having lunch at the club? Just the four of us?" Henry suggested, and I liked the idea."At the Social Club?" I asked."No, at the sports club. The restaurant there is excellent, and it has an integrated green area. I think it could be nice," Henry insisted."I think so too. Let's go," I agreed.The kids also liked the idea, and it would b

    Samantha’s POVI opened my eyes to a dark room, which was strange because I felt rested as if I'd slept for hours. Truth be told, I wished I could sleep for a week and wake up to find that yesterday's terror had been nothing but a nightmare. But it wasn't like that; unfortunately, it was real.When I closed my eyes, I could still feel the revulsion from Reynold's hands on me. The knot that formed in my throat from the fear of that monster's attack hasn't completely gone away. As much as I didn't want to imagine it, I knew well what would have happened to me if Henry hadn't arrived. I didn’t even know how he got there, how he found me. All I knew was that he arrived in time and prevented the worst - he saved me.I curled up in bed, seeing his empty side. I pulled his pillow against my body and hugged it, breathing in his scent. Why isn't he here? After seeing his father grabbing me, would he no longer be able to stay near me? Even though it was forceful and Reynold didn't even manage to
