S3-Chapter 216

Penulis: Maria Anita
Manuela’s POV

The rest of the day passed in a blur, with Olivia and Lexie trying to cheer me up with wedding stuff, but I had become very sad about Julian's death. I had spent my life thinking we were siblings and, even though we had never gotten along, I was very upset - it was a wasted life and he was so young.

"Girls, can I speak with my daughter for a minute?" I was on the balcony with Olivia and Lexie when my father appeared. It was early evening. "It's a beautiful night."

"It is. How are you?" I placed my hand on his face.

"Sad, daughter, but it was his choice." My father lamented. "You know, I also made my choice when I asked for that DNA test - I washed my hands of Julian, but that was before Rita kidnapped you. I never imagined she would be arrested and hand everything over to him. Not that it justifies my mistakes - I was negligent with him his whole life."

"Dad, you weren't negligent. Rita never allowed you to educate him, I know that. She never let you correct him." I didn'

    Patrick’s POVI left the company with Flavian and decided to go home. My head was full of thoughts about Lexie and I didn't like that she was haunting my thoughts again. Yes, she had haunted my thoughts for a long time before.Since Lexie was born, I felt something very strange about her, something I couldn't explain. And I didn't want to stir up these strange and contradictory feelings.I was eight years old when Lexie was born and she was a beautiful baby, I still remember that. The moment I saw her for the first time I was enchanted by her and I became attached. She was a charming child, full of smiles and very affectionate. And she clung to me, seemed as enchanted by me as I was by her, as if something very special brought us together. I felt like one of her guardians, as if I should protect her.But as I became a teenager, I distanced myself from her and started finding her annoying, because she kept clinging to me and I didn't know how to deal with it. It's hard being fifteen yea

    Patrick’s POVLexie had just left my office and I was looking at the chocolates scattered on the floor, my heart still racing, when Flavian burst through the door. Great! If he'd arrived five minutes earlier, he would have caught me in a difficult situation to explain, with his sister on my lap and inches away from kissing her."Finally you're back!" Flavian walked toward me and I stood up to hug him."My friend! How are you?""Walking on clouds." Flavian smiled. "And you, how are you?""I'm good, it was nice to go. It's not so hard anymore." And it really wasn't, but this day had been so full of surprises that I hadn't even had time to think about what had happened."That's great!" Flavian looked at me and I knew what he wanted to say. "Patrick, about my sister, I told her a million times to tell you.""Flavian, I know, Alexander explained everything to me, it's all good. I'm not upset with you guys. I'll work things out with the weirdo.""Patrick, she's my sister and she's not a chil

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S4-Chapter 9

    Lexie’s POVI stepped out of Patrick's office in a daze! I needed to talk to Manu; I was confused and my mind was racing with conflicting thoughts. What had just happened in that room? I wasn't foolish or naive enough not to notice that he had admired my breasts and had been about to kiss me. But he hated me, so why would he want to kiss me? However, I couldn't dwell on these thoughts for long."Oh great, judging by your face, you had another fight." Flavian stopped in front of me, sizing me up."There was no fight, Flavian. What are you doing here?" I moved away from the door and sat down as quickly as I could, since my legs were shaking."I heard Patrick was back. I came to talk to him.""Let me ask..." But my brother didn't wait for me to speak; he opened the door and walked right in. I needed to talk to Manu. I called someone from the cleaning staff to take care of the chocolates on the floor, and as soon as the employee entered the room, I went to Manu's desk."Manu, I need to tal

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S4-Chapter 8

    Patrick’s POVI returned from lunch feeling calmer. I listened to everything my friends had to say and understood they'd had fun at my expense. I was fine with that - I would have done the same in their place. But Lexie, she wasn't forgiven, and I would make her life quite difficult as long as she worked for me.Though I had to admit Alessandro was right about one thing - she seemed to be really good at her job. At least she'd been very diligent every time I'd asked her for something, and over the phone she was even quite pleasant.I passed by my assistant's desk and she was focused on something she was typing on the computer, not even looking away from the screen to glance at me. On her desk, the box of chocolates she'd received was open, but I didn't see the nougat I'd brought for her anywhere. Had she preferred those cheap chocolates to the Spanish sweets I'd given her? That offended me a bit.I entered my office and before going through the door, I saw the colorful bag on my desk.

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S4-Chapter 7

    Patrick’s POVI left my office and my assistant wasn't at her workstation. I looked at the box of chocolates on her desk and saw the card. Oh, but the little girl already had a fan! I'd have to deal with this - as irritating as she was, I couldn't let just anyone get close to her. She was annoying, but she was a friend's sister. I placed the card on the desk just as she walked in."Do you need something, Mr. Guzman?" The little girl had become bold. It was almost cute like that."For you to be at your workstation and not wandering around." She would learn to be responsible; I'd make sure of it.She walked past me, lightly brushing against my chest, letting me catch her perfume once again, and sat down. She put the card and chocolates in a bag and removed them from the desk, placing them on the cabinet behind her chair. Then she turned on her computer, as if I wasn't even there anymore. I left her office and stopped at the reception desk, staring at Manu."Why didn't you tell me, Manu?"

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S4-Chapter 6

    Lexie’s POVI wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I read the card on the gift Patrick left on my desk. I wanted to run away when that delivery guy said my last name, and I wanted to die when Patrick closed his office door and started talking. But now, now I wanted to kill him! How could he be such a jerk? And everyone kept telling me he was a nice guy, that he was the best. He was the best at being a jerk, that's what he was.How dare he talk about me like that, calling me a liar, a spoiled little girl, a wild animal! Who did he think he was? Oh, but he wasn't going to throw even one more insult at me.I really was going to quit, I'd make things easier for both of us, but he had to show what a jerk he was. He couldn't just accept that I was making a good decision. But then he said I hadn't grown up, that I was still a little girl ready to run away and hide. Oh, Mr. Guzman, you have no idea how much this little girl has grown! You know what? If he wanted to get rid of me, h
