S6-Chapter 37

Penulis: Maria Anita
Melissa’s POV

I was humming in the office, almost like Maurice from the sales department who was always singing. Oh, but I was so happy, and I hadn't felt this happy in such a long time! My Fred surprised me yesterday. I was just a little sleepy because he was really inspired and barely let me sleep.

"Goodness, such joy!" Julia, Henry's secretary, teased me.

She walked into my office laughing, carrying an arrangement of red roses in a crystal vase, which she placed on my desk.

"Wow, how beautiful!" I looked at the arrangement and assumed Henry was preparing something for Sam.

"Gorgeous, isn't it?! Just arrived for you." Julia smiled, picked up the little envelope nestled among the flowers, and handed it to me.

"Are you sure they're for me?" I asked.

It was unusual to receive roses, they definitely weren't from Fred, as he always sent peonies. So who could they be from? I opened the card and could hardly believe what I read.

"So, who sent them? Because the prince doesn't send roses," Ju

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S6-Chapter 47

    Fernando’s POVI was kind of pissed off at my uncle and Catherine, they weren't taking my concerns and experience seriously. Far from it, they were making jokes about something that had been very serious and almost destroyed my family."I'm going to tell you both something, it's not funny, not funny at all." I pointed at them."Fernando, I never thought what happened with your parents had affected you this much." Catherine stared at me. "Back then yes, I saw it, we were already friends, but now, this is irrational!""I think I'm going to call the hospital psychologist." My uncle commented, still seeming amused."You don't need to call the psychologist." I complained. "Uncle, you saw the hell it was. My parents fought all the time, it went on like that for years and I suspect that's why I'm an only child. My mother became an alcoholic, uncle!""I know, son, and I know the weight you carried on your shoulders while your father was losing his mind over a very young nurse." My uncle got se

    Fernando’s POVThe truth is, I should have talked to Catherine a long time ago. She was the only one capable of understanding and giving me perspective, after all, she was the only one in our group who had known Mel and me from before we became an us. We arrived at the hospital together and she immediately handed me one of those large coffee cups. I really needed coffee, but when I tasted it, it was actually a cappuccino. I narrowed my eyes at her."I think you got confused." I gave my friend a smile. "This is Mel's favorite, cappuccino with a touch of vanilla." That was the taste my little bee had when I kissed her in the morning."Look at that, you do know!" Catherine smiled as we walked toward the elevators. "I just brought it to remind you.""Cat, you know I don't forget. I know every little thing that makes that woman happy." I smiled looking at the cup and took another sip, remembering how I'd woken her up earlier this morning just to lose myself in her body."Well, it doesn't se

    Hannah’s POVI was looking at myself in the mirror, and I could still see the mark from the slap Frederick had given me, even though it had completely disappeared. I still saw it there. It was always like this. Whenever he hit me, I'd be haunted by the marks, even after they'd vanished. And then he'd hit me again, and the phantom marks would give way to new ones. It was as if the marks he left reminded me that he'd do it again.Tears started streaming down my face again as my memory drifted back to that painful, dark period of my life: the time when I thought I was getting beaten because I deserved it, because it was my fault for breaking whatever idiotic rule he'd created, or because I'd irritated him. Now, after managing to break free from all of that, I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered how I could have believed I deserved that. How did I allow all of that to happen to me? How could I have had so little self-love, or none at all? The truth was, I thought moving in with Fre

    Melissa’s POVFlavian had a way of delivering information like he was telling a horror story, leaving his audience anxious and tense. He made dramatic pauses! I was almost jumping at his throat, I was anxious, my heart racing, mouth dry, and palms sweaty. I wanted him to deliver the information like a soccer announcer, talking nonstop without even pausing to breathe. But he enjoyed creating that suspense."Oh, Flavian, just tell me already!" I begged, and he laughed."Ah, I love telling you things." He had that confident smile on his face, full of perfect white teeth. "Mel, the bar went through a crisis about a year after opening. Apparently his daughter got sick, a lung infection that was hard to treat, Rafael spent a lot on the girl and neglected the bar. He almost went bankrupt, needed capital and found an investor. Someone who gave him the money but remained anonymous, it was like a personal loan that Rafael is still paying off, because it was a lot of money and these things have a

    Melissa’s POVHannah's situation really worried me. I still remembered the hell Samantha went through with that crazy stalker ex-boyfriend, but the police sent that one straight to hell.What Hannah really needed was a good person in her life. If it weren't for her beef with Rafa, I'd even try to set them up, but she recoils from the poor guy like he was the devil himself! Though they do say where there was intense hate, love appears... I didn’t know, but it would be fun to watch. Who knows?!But I really needed to talk to my partner and see what he had discovered. I parked in front of the station and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Renata."Mel! So good to see you!" She hugged me. She was an interesting person, when on duty, as she put it, she was tough, but outside the skin of the brash, foul-mouthed cop, Renata was actually very sweet and pleasant."How are things going at this station, Renata?" I asked as we walked toward the door."Boring and dead as ever. Just the usual, t

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S6-Chapter 42

    Fernando’s POVJust like the day before, I drove Melissa to work and walked her to her office. I wanted to be seen with her by as many people as possible at Lynx, and if I got lucky, maybe Mr. Perfect would see me there too and get the message to back off. But I hadn't had the chance to run into him yet, and he was starting to get bold, he was even giving her little gifts."Fred, you don't need to walk me to my office," Melissa protested once again. She wasn't stupid; of course she knew what I was doing."I don't need to, but I want to, Mel!" I smiled at her. "But I also want to talk to Henry.""Oh, with Henry? Not with his blabbermouth nephew." She looked at me with a smile that said "I know everything." But I didn't care, she really did know."I'll talk to Enzo later." I laughed.While I was waiting for Henry, my phone rang. It was my uncle. I answered and was surprised by what he told me. I looked at Melissa, still processing what I had heard."What is it?" she asked."Hannah. My un
