Manuela’s POVI spent Sunday alone since Flavian was on call, so I took the opportunity to get my academic life in order. When I worked at the mall, I studied in the morning - it was a different rhythm. But after I started working with Henry, I switched to the night shift and found it quite difficult because I'd arrive at college already tired. But that's life.Still, the day was very productive. When Flavian arrived at night, I already had the table set waiting for him. He seemed so stressed lately. He came toward me and grabbed me in that way of his, lifting me off the ground, giving me a breathtaking kiss while pressing me against the wall.I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He was so hot, smelled so good that just his scent was enough to turn me on."Ah, little one, I just want to lose myself in your body right now, just want to feel myself inside you." he said with his eyes closed, his forehead pressed against mine and his naughty hand slid
Henry’s POVI was greeted at the office by Melissa, Tess, and Julia standing near the elevator."Finally, Martin!" Melissa complained as I checked my watch."I'm not late, Mel!" I replied."But you could've been courteous enough to come a bit earlier to tell us how things went with Sam. We're dying to know. And I'm the one who helped you!" Melissa was eager for news."Oh, that's what this is about!" I smiled at them. "Well, come on, let's grab some coffee, because my weekend was amazing!"They smiled and started jumping and clapping like a bunch of fangirls chasing a boyband. After giving them a summary of how Sam had forgiven me and how happy I was, we went to work, but I pulled Melissa into my office. She must have had information I was interested in."Come here, Mel, because you're going to tell me a story," I said while pulling her into my office."What story?" She asked, confused."My mom and Dr. Molina," I said simply and saw her guilty expression."She finally told you?""Finall
Samantha’s POVThe day had been so good! Alexander gave me the afternoon off since he knew I would have lunch with Henry. We went shopping for household items and had a lot of fun doing it. But after Henry dropped me off at my apartment, things went downhill.As soon as I entered the building, the doorman handed me my mail, and my heart almost stopped beating when I saw the envelope. I couldn't believe he had found me. But how?I went up to my apartment and didn't even have the courage to open the envelope. I sat on the couch, terrified, staring at the envelope in my hands, and I didn't even notice when I started crying, but as time passed, the desperation grew inside me.The doorbell rang, and I looked through the peephole. It was Henry, finally. I opened the door and threw myself into his arms, letting the tears fall with all my desperation.He became distressed, asking what had happened, but I couldn't even speak, I just cried. Then I handed him the envelope. After sitting on the co
Samantha’s POVI woke up with a terrible headache - that's what I got from crying a river of tears yesterday, along with dark circles under my eyes. And a foul mood to boot.When I arrived in the living room, Henry was giving instructions to an army of people - the security guards and house staff. When he saw me, he flashed a beautiful smile and extended his hand."Sam, good morning!" He kissed the top of my head and started introducing me to all the staff members. There were so many people.After the introductions were over, everyone left the room and Henry pulled me into a hug, which comforted me and improved my mood a little."Are you okay?" he whispered in my ear."Not really. I have a headache and just feel off, I can't really explain it," I grumbled, resting my head on his shoulder."Aw, my poor goddess!" Henry said in an affectionate tone that drew a small smile from me. "Come on, let's have a nice breakfast and then you can take a painkiller. I'll call Alexander and let him kno
Henry’s POVI parked the car at the entrance of Alexander's building and saw Samantha walking towards the exit accompanied by two security guards. I was always enchanted by her beauty.Samantha was stunning, everything about her was perfect, and she was well aware of her beauty. She walked like a queen, head held high, perfect posture, confident steps.When she saw me, she said goodbye to the security guards, ran towards me, and jumped into my arms, making me realize how lucky I am that this woman looked my way and gave me her heart."I missed you," she whispered in my ear."Me too." I gave her a quick kiss and helped her into the car.During the drive to her parents' house, we chatted about light topics, laughed, joked, and teased each other. I noticed that when I parked in front of the house, she became serious and tense."What's wrong, Nightingale?" I asked, gently squeezing her knee."My mom's going to want to kill me!" she lamented."No, she'll understand you. But Enzo will kill m
Reynold’s POVMy life has become way too complicated! I had to leave Miami in a hurry after those whores reported me because of the little party I had with them. From what a friend told me, the police were looking for me and had already discovered where I was - my time was running out.I thought Henry would make things easier for me when I arrived and give me what I asked for. I needed to get to Europe; there are many countries there that don't extradite or enforce other countries' judicial decisions. But living in Europe is much more expensive, so I needed more money. And I needed the plane at my disposal in case I had to leave somewhere in a hurry. But the boy decided to play tough with me and didn't do what I wanted. And that worthless Hebe wasn't helping me either.As if that wasn't enough, two women decided to report me here after all this time, and they're still playing dumb, claiming they never signed any agreement with me. I ended up spending twenty-four hours locked up in a st
Henry’s POVThat creep Reynold had completely lost his mind. He didn’t even bother pretending to be a minimally caring father to his children anymore. Cornering me at the restaurant was incredibly bold of him.I went back to the office and ordered something to eat here, just to avoid the displeasure of looking at his face again. While eating, I called Edward and explained what happened. He assured me that Reynold wouldn't go near Hebe, the kids, or my mother. Then I called my mother, and she asked me to calm down, saying things would work themselves out.When Julia and Melissa returned from lunch, I called them into my office. I needed to warn them too, as they were always close to me and could be used against me."Girls, I might need to assign a security guard to protect you," I said after explaining the whole situation."Henry, relax. Your father hasn't threatened us; we're not his targets," Melissa tried to calm me down, but I noticed Julia was very tense. She always got nervous whe
Samantha’s POVI had been restless and anxious since Maria, Henry's housekeeper, called me after lunch today. She called to let me know that the store had delivered the furniture. Maria was a lovely woman who knew how to run a household like no other, and she was so sweet and kind that she was like a mother. We got along very well, and we had agreed that she would call me whenever she needed anything and would let me know as soon as the furniture arrived.I was very excited. I left the company feeling very happy, but when I got into Henry's car, I noticed he was very tense. He gave me a kiss and held me in his arms for a moment."My handsome, what's wrong?" I asked, sensing something was off. He looked tired and stressed."It's been a shitty day, Sam. I just want to spend the night holding you." Henry sighed and let go of me, starting the car."What happened, Henry?" I grew even more worried."Reynold." Henry said simply."What is it now?" I persisted.During the drive home, I listened
Samantha’s POVAfter Romulus was no longer an issue, I was feeling much lighter and happier. I had the man I loved by my side, who not only said but showed me every day that he loved me just as much.Henry was committed to making my days happy, but just having him around made me feel like the happiest woman in the world, living a perfect life with my love. I slept in his arms every night and woke up to his eyes sparkling at me - nothing could be more perfect than that.The week flowed like this - he possessed my body every night before sleep and loved me every morning before we left the bed. I was getting spoiled with his kisses, touches, and affection.At work, I managed to get everything done so I could take a few days off. When Thursday came, I was a bundle of nerves and completely anxious about the wedding that would take place on Saturday. I never thought I'd get like this, that these inexplicable bridal jitters would affect me too, since marriage had never been something fundamen
Henry’s POVAfter all the stress of the last few days, especially everything that happened the day before, waking up with my goddess in my arms, sleeping peacefully was a balm for all the wear and fear I had felt.Sunlight was shining subtly through a gap in the bedroom curtain. I never tired of admiring how beautiful Samantha is, how her skin glows under the sun as if tiny points of light were sparkling. My fingers drew circles on her silky, velvety skin.She was sleeping peacefully with her head on my chest, one leg thrown over mine, and an arm wrapped around my waist. Her mouth, which looked like a ripe strawberry ready to be picked, was slightly parted, and her long black eyelashes adorned her closed eyes. Her curly hair was spread between us and across the bed. Samantha is absolutely gorgeous!But it was more than that. Samantha was a strong, determined woman who loves boundlessly and without restraint. She gives herself completely to those she loves and doesn't think twice about
Nicole’s POVI had planned everything so perfectly with Romulus - it was a foolproof plan. He would make little Samantha disappear, and I would have time to seduce and wrap my golden goose, Henry, around my finger.I arranged to meet that annoying Pearl at a remote mall, so there'd be no risk of her running into anyone she knew. I made up a story about not having a car and how this mall was close to my house. The idiot believed me and agreed to meet there, so I wouldn't have to waste money on a taxi or take the bus.As soon as she arrived, I asked to borrow her phone to call "my daddy," claiming mine was dead. Being ever so helpful, she lent me her unlocked phone. Very carefully, I called Romulus, and after ending the call, I returned the phone. She placed it on the table and turned to call the waiter. It was easier than I thought - I didn't even need to steal her whole purse.One of my brother's guys was already nearby to help us. He walked by and snatched the phone without her notici
Samantha’s POVI was relieved to see my mother was okay. It was incredibly lucky that Enzo ran into her - one of those things that nobody can explain, where some call it luck and others divine providence. But I can definitely say this kid saved me again. After they told everything that happened at the mall and Henry confirmed that the Nicole who was with my mother was the same Nicole who was his ex-girlfriend, everything made sense.And we were heading to the police station - my mother, Enzo, Henry, and me. Honestly, I just wanted to go home, but Flavian asked us to come there, so there was no way around it."Henry, why did Flavian ask us to go to the police station?" I asked, still not accepting that I couldn't go home."Sam, you were the victim of Romulus's setup. It was a fake kidnapping, true, but clearly intended to force you to go to him. Plus, your mother's phone was stolen and used for this." Henry repeated the same thing, but I felt he was hiding something from me."I want to
Flavian’s POVI had to say, this raid on Pipote Hill was only supposed to serve three arrest warrants for homicide, but it turned into a complete mess. Three drug dealers dead and two cops wounded, all because they wouldn't let us in. It was all because of that punk Sandro who decided to set up a drug spot here. I only decided to serve these warrants personally snice one of them was Sandro's drug spot manager, and I wanted information about this Romulus guy.At least no civilians were hit. People keep talking about stray bullets, but there was no such thing - there are only bullets that find their targets, and innocent people became those targets, which really upsets me. But fortunately, this time no innocent civilians were shot. Though one of the subjects named in the warrants died - he was one of Sandro's soldiers. We arrested the other two. That was six fewer criminals on the streets."Let's move out, team!" called the military police sergeant who came to support us. "Detective, I t
Samantha’s POVI was getting increasingly nervous. As the car moved toward my destination, I felt more helpless, scared, and distressed. The taxi driver, a very kind gentleman, watched me through the rearview mirror while keeping his eyes on traffic. He drove slowly and carefully, perhaps due to his age, making sure not to cause any accident.My phone rang and I grabbed it from my purse - it was Enzo. I couldn't answer him, I just couldn't. But he persisted. He always did, and I always answered. I thought it through - if I didn't answer, it would raise suspicions. Sure, Michael must have returned to the company, but he probably thought I was in another department and wouldn't be alarmed yet. Maybe he was still looking for me inside the building. So, it was better to answer Enzo.When he told me he was with my mother, I couldn't believe it. Then he put her on the line, and I heard her voice. I couldn't hold back anymore, started crying, and explained that Romulus had called me from her
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
Samantha’s POVMy bachelorette party was the most fun event I'd ever been to, despite the snake incident. Erica and Emilia had really outdone themselves. However, it wasn't as enjoyable for Henry, who was tense and worried when he came to pick me up.At home, he told me about his suspicion that Isabella had sent the snake, and I was surprised - I hadn't thought that insufferable woman would be so brazen.We spent Sunday at home, resting and just enjoying each other's company. It was nice to have that peaceful moment with him, knowing the upcoming week would be hectic with wedding preparations, even though everything was already set.This week, I needed to get ahead with all my work since I'd be on my honeymoon with Henry the following week. Starting Thursday, I wouldn't be working as I'd be at the beach house overseeing all the wedding setup. I was so busy that during lunch, I just had a quick snack while working and turned Manu away when she came for afternoon coffee.Then my phone st
Romulus’s POVLittle Samantha must have been crazy if she thought she could ghost me like that. I've called several times and she won't answer, where could she be hiding? I needed to teach her a lesson, but this week I couldn't put my plan into action since Sandro needed me to check the accounts at his drug spot.Sandro wanted me to move to the hill, but to be honest, I preferred little Nicole's apartment, it was better located. But there's no way around it, I made a deal with him and he was the boss. He only gave me one more week to sort things out with little Samantha.I would use this week to resolve my situation with little Samantha and deal with little Nicole too. I was running out of patience with her, but it had to look like an accident, after all, she's Sandro's sister. I was going to do the job and blame the old man, but the idiot got arrested and was even trying to go back on our deal. He wanted little Samantha all to himself - that was pure greed.But little Nicole was still
