POV Samantha

**

I woke slowly the next morning, feeling the deep, healing effects of the previous night’s exhaustion and Benjamin’s comforting presence. The weariness was still there, but it was a manageable, honest fatigue.

Benjamin was already awake, dressed casually in an athletic shirt and shorts, sipping coffee on the window seat. He looked alert, but gently relaxed, clearly having honored the mandatory downtime.

"Good morning, Chief," he greeted me, his voice low.

"The empire is still standing, and Term Four of the contract no talk of former residents remains in effect."

"Morning," I replied, feeling a peaceful sense of balance. The storm was outside, but our core was calm.

We shared a quick, quiet breakfast fresh fruit and strong coffee, a perfect contrast to the intense public schedule that awaited. Today was different; it wasn't about Sterling's compliance, but about Samantha Myers's narrative.

My schedule was packed with literary interviews and appearances, capitalizing o

  • She Writes Her Own Heartbeat    Chapter 167

    None of the four noticed that one of the mischievous twins had been quietly trailing behind them—and now, Victoria was standing right beside them, staring up curiously at the group.She had heard everything."Uncle," she piped up, calling out to Alex while tilting her head adorably."What does ’You fuckers, what the hell are you doing here?’ mean? Is that some kind of greeting?"The color instantly drained from Alex’s face.His glare vanished as shock took over—he hadn’t even realized Victoria was there, let alone that she’d heard him say that.For a moment, he stood frozen, unsure how to respond to the innocent question coming from the small voice beside him.The three men turned their attention to the cute little girl now clinging to the hem of Alex’s shirt. She blinked up at them, wide-eyed with curiosity.The moment her eyes met theirs, the trio stiffened—paralyzed as if they’d been turned to stone on the spot."Uncle, are these your friends?"Alex didn’t answer. He simply gave a

    "Uncleeeee!!!"Victoria’s voice rang down the hallway as she ran straight toward Alex with her arms wide open.He barely had time to react before she threw her arms around his legs, hugging him tight and looking up with a huge, cheeky grin.Christy trailed just behind, much quieter and more reserved. She stopped beside him without a word, offering only a small, shy smile.Alex laughed softly and gave both girls a playful ruffle on the head."So... were you two good in class today? No causing trouble for your teacher?" he asked, crouching down to their level with a teasing smile."Teacher said we were super good today, Uncle! She said it was kinda surprising!" Victoria replied proudly, puffing out her chest like she’d accomplished something big.Alex couldn’t help but let out a chuckle."She only said that to you," Christy mumbled, folding her arms with a small frown. "Don’t drag me into it."He blinked, a little surprised that Christy had spoken up—but then burst out laughing at her d

    "Anyway, Frank... are you sure we’re on the right path? Are you certain this is really where Alex’s car went?" Carl asked, glancing around.From what he could see, they were now driving through narrow alleyways and crowded areas. It was the kind of place that drew attention—and sure enough, people were already turning their heads to stare at their passing car."Wow! I feel like a celebrity!" Frank said with a mischievous grin. "So this is what it feels like, huh?""Yeah... but seriously, why would Alex come through here? You think maybe he realized we were following him and is trying to shake us off?" Carl wondered aloud, narrowing his eyes suspiciously."Hold up, Carl—why did you want to follow Alex in the first place?" Alfonso chimed in, now fully recovered from his earlier panic. "You’re starting to sound like his stalker... or like a jealous girlfriend. Don’t tell me you’ve got a secret crush on him?""What the fuck, Alfonso! Jealous girlfriend, my ass! You’re disgusting!" Carl sh

    "They weren’t with anyone, okay? You’re such a gossip, Carl—for a grown man, seriously." Alex said irritably.He then turned to Alfonso, who was smirking on the side. "And you, Alfonso—did you seriously not see anything besides what Carl said?""Nope, bro." Alfonso replied with a laugh."So, who are they, Apheus?" he teased. "Your secret kids?"Alex shot him another glare. "Tsk. Do I look like I already have kids?""Then who are they?" Alfonso pressed. "You were grinning like an idiot while looking at their pictures earlier."Alex paused for a moment, trying to come up with the right words. "I’m their uncle.""Uncle?" Frank chimed in. "So you’ve got more nieces and nephews? I thought you only had those two hyper ones who keep showing up here.""No... I mean, I’m just their uncle—kind of. Not by blood," Alex explained, avoiding their eyes. "They’re the kids of a friend of mine.""You have other friends besides us?" Carl asked mockingly.Alex shot him a sharp glare. "Correction—you’re n

    "Hey, Alex, you got any food around? We’re starving over here." Frank said shamelessly."We’re not a café or a restaurant for you to come looking for food." Alex replied flatly."But we’re your guests. The least you could do is feed us—we’re practically dying here, man!" Carl added, dramatically flopping onto the couch and kicking his feet up on the coffee table like he owned the place."It’s not my fault you came here without eating first. And for the record, you’re our uninvited guests." Alex responded, still flatly."Tsk, what a cheapskate. As if feeding us would bankrupt your company." Alfonso chimed in. "Gracia, would you mind grabbing us something to eat? Or at least some coffee?"Gracia paused mid-typing, her fingers freezing above the keyboard. Slowly, she turned her head and shot Alfonso a cold glare.Alex sighed inwardly. He had completely forgotten to remind his employees not to let his friends into the office during work hours.Apparently, everyone had gotten too used to t

    Monica’s POV-----"Huh? T-they’re not their f-father?" Amie asked in surprise, her brows furrowing in confusion. "I thought...""N-no! He’s not their father! Their father is already—""Then I’ll be leaving our kids in your care, Teacher," Alex suddenly cut in with a light chuckle. "Please look after them—they can be quite a handful sometimes."I blinked, stunned.Our kids?What in the world is he saying? Is he seriously trying to tease me right now? In front of Amie, of all people?"Oh, don’t worry!" Amie laughed. "Victoria may be a little ball of energy, but she’s always respectful to her elders."Then she threw me a knowing glance, as if saying, Are you seriously still denying you’re together with this man?I opened my mouth to correct her again, but before I could say anything, she smiled mischievously."Well, Ms. Monica and Mr...?" she trailed off, looking at Alex."It’s Alex, Teacher." he replied casually."Uh, Mr. Alex... I’d better head inside. Class is about to start. And don
