S2-Chapter 2

Author: Maria Anita
Henry’s POV

When I arrived at the office on Friday, Julia, my secretary, came running after me right away. Julia was excellent at her job and happily married, therefore out of my reach. She'd been with me long enough to take certain liberties and kept things strictly professional between us - not that I ever hit on her. Then again, Julia was nearly sixty.

"Mr. Martin, there's a million pending matters on your desk and all these messages." Julia handed me about twenty messages held together with a paper clip.

"What time do these people start working, five in the morning?" I said, looking at her, already stressed.

"Eight, but you're half an hour late, so..." Julia said as she walked out. "Have a great day!"

Ever since my last executive assistant, Miss Camila, resigned last week, I'd been swamped. I needed to get my act together - fucking my assistant on the desk after hours hadn't been a good idea. Again!

The next day she came in all flirty, and I had to shut it down, saying it would be

    Samantha’s POVHaving worked until closing time yesterday, I was exhausted, even though it was Monday. I needed another job, one with decent hours that wouldn't eat up my weekends. Working at a mall store was draining. I had just graduated with a business degree, but this was my only work experience, so finding another job wasn't proving easy.The commissions were actually great, the store was upscale, and everything was expensive. I was good at sales and had loyal customers, but it had become really hard to keep working here alongside Cybele after I caught her giving my then-boyfriend a blowjob in the back room, and she had the other two salesgirls backing her up, making the atmosphere even more unbearable.It was the most humiliating situation of my life! I had stepped out briefly to grab a quick bite, so I wouldn't have to cook when I got home, since my mom was traveling that week. It was almost closing time, and that jerk sometimes picked me up, but I had always trusted him.When I

    Henry’s POVMy Monday was turning into purgatory. I needed an assistant like yesterday! Of course, being hungover wasn't helping much. And getting minimal sleep was terrible too. Maybe I should quit this bohemian lifestyle. I laughed to myself at that thought.But I would be interviewing Melissa Larson later, and it was practically certain I would hire her. I had already checked with some contacts, and they all assured me she was a very competent professional.Julia came into my office with several papers for me to sign. While passing them to me, she decided to make small talk."I talked to Mariana today. She told me she finally hired a new assistant for Mr. Miller.""Ah, yes. The lady Larson recommended. She seems very competent," I commented casually while signing papers."Yeah, that's what Mariana said. But I don't think she'll last there," Julia caught my attention with this comment, and I looked up at her."And why not, Julia?""Because Mariana told me she's gorgeous. Gorgeous lik

    Henry’s POVI figured the most practical thing would be to go to the mall, where I could find everything I needed. I went to the religious goods store first - it would be quick, and I didn't want to be that heretic carrying adult toys into a religious store. When I entered, there was only one employee chatting with a young woman. I approached them while texting Hanna to let her know I was buying her a little present.I was straightforward with the saleswoman. I didn't want to waste time. She could continue gossiping with the other woman later. But the woman decided to play smart with me, and we started arguing about who the saleswoman should help first. She was irritating.I was already impatient when I looked up from my phone screen. But when I saw the woman in front of me, I had to exercise serious self-control not to ask for her number. She was stunningly beautiful. A breathtaking brunette with a toned, sensual body. Her lips were amazing, like a small, juicy apple that made me want

    Henry’s POVI arrived at the office feeling excited, thinking today would be fun since my assistant would be starting, finally relieving me of my workload. Plus, there was the gossip about Alexander and his assistant, and I had plans to see Hanna tonight. Everything seemed perfect.When the elevator doors opened on the top floor of my building where my office was located, I found Melissa sitting there with her arms and legs crossed, tapping her foot and huffing. I had barely stepped out when she came straight at me."Is this what you call arrival time, Henry? Your desk is a mess, and you have piles of pending work. This place has zero management! If you're planning on going bankrupt, let me know now so I won't waste my time starting here." Melissa rattled off without taking a breath, and I just wanted to run and hide from her."I really like her!" Julia called out from her desk with a huge grin, clearly enjoying my suffering.Melissa was already showing who was boss, riding me like a h

    Samantha’s POV"Oh Mom, I'm so upset that I can't go with you to grandma's birthday," I said to my mother while we were having lunch at the mall."I know, honey. But she'll love your gift, and you need to work. Responsibilities always come first, Samantha," my mother replied.My mother was a very strong woman. She raised me by herself. My father never wanted to take responsibility. He would show up occasionally saying he wanted to see me, but it was more to antagonize my mother. So after I turned eighteen, I pushed him away. I didn't need a father who only appeared when it was convenient for him to cause trouble with my mother. It was very clear to me that he had no interest in his daughter."How long will you stay there?" I asked."A week. I took some days off and I'm going to make the most of it. I also enjoy being mothered," she smiled, and I smiled back."Will you be okay?""Yes, Mom, I will.""Now tell me what's new? How are things at the store?" My mother and I talked about every

    Henry’s POVWe had lunch with my mother and Julia on Tuesday, after the confusion with the mixed-up gifts, and they drove me crazy about it."Mom, I have one more thing for you." I took out the card that beautiful stranger had left at the mall store from my jacket pocket and handed it to my mother."What's this?" My mother asked.I told the story, and the three women in front of me laughed like children and made fun of me. My mother read the card and passed it to Melissa and Julia. Wiping a tear from the corner of her eye from laughing so hard, she said,"Henry Martin, I'm a good mother and I raised you right! Your behavior at the store is unacceptable. I recommend you go back there and apologize to the saleswoman, and if you ever meet that young lady again, you apologize to her too.""Mom, I'm not going back to the store to apologize," I replied."Oh yes, you are! You're better than this, Henry. And you're going back to apologize because I didn't raise an arrogant and presumptuous man

    Henry’s POVIt was past seven on Friday evening when Melissa finally decided to set me free."What? You're letting me off early again today?" I asked her with a smile."I could leave you with some work to do, but I'm heading out. It's been an exhausting week - you're quite a handful.""No, no tasks, please. I'm tired too. But I'd like to thank you.""Oh really?" Melissa leaned back in her chair with a cat-that-caught-the-mouse smirk."Yeah. I might regret saying this, but I'll be honest - you pulled me back to reality. I was being careless with my company, and you put me back on the right track. Thank you.""I told you you needed me!" Melissa's smile widened. "Just for that, I'll give you the weekend off. But don't you dare show up hungover on Monday, got it?""I promise I won't!" I raised my hand in pledge.Melissa gathered her things and left. I grabbed my phone and called Patrick. I left the office to meet my friend at the Social Club."Patrick, Alexander is head over heels for Cath

    Samantha’s POV"Thank God it's Sunday and the mall closes early," Manu said when we met at the entrance of the store where I worked."Tell me about it, Manu, my feet are killing me!" I replied with a pained expression."And today we don't have a ride since Pablo's off," Manu informed me."Good for him. He's been really nice to us.""Yeah, he's super cool. Want to split a cab? I'm too exhausted to take the bus," Manu suggested, and I was grateful."I'll pay for the taxi, Manu. I'm dead tired too." We left laughing.As we walked through the door, Romulus cornered us. He had a cynical smile on his face. I hadn't noticed he was there. He stopped in front of me and grabbed my arm."Come on, Samantha, I'll take you home and we can talk," Romulus spoke as if giving me an order."Romulus, let go of me. I have nothing to talk about with you," I responded."Of course you do, my dear. Come on, the sooner you stop this drama, the faster our lives can get back to normal," Romulus said and tried to

    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

    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

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.

    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
