Once they had landed at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport, Stefan's chauffeur Frederick picked them up to drive them to the brown man's house, but Katia refused.She wanted to go straight to the hospital to see Stefan.After arriving at the private hospital, they went to the room where Stefan was resting. When they opened the door they found Federica sitting next to him and Jürgen, who was leaning against the wall. The dark-haired man looked at him in surprise, as he didn't know how the woman had found out. Katia walked over to the bed and stood next to her ex-husband. She caressed his face, holding back her tears, and kissed him.Federica approached her husband and smiled at him after hugging him. Hilbert began to ask what had really happened and Jürgen told him. Katia listened to them sitting on the edge of the bed.Suddenly the door opened, ushering in the police, but the one who caught everyone's attention was a tall, slender man, although at first glance it could be seen that

A group of men gathered behind the young brunette, but the leader of the group took Katia as a hostage, pointing a gun at her. Müller, despite having something against Stefan, had nothing against the woman who looked at him with fear, feeling the gun against her temple. Katia began to silently cry, looking at the inspector for help.The police were in a dilemma. They couldn't shoot without harming Katia. Both the gang and the law enforcement group had their weapons aimed at each other, with the young brunette caught in the middle."Stefan... help me..." Katia silently wished, her eyes closed as tears streamed down her cheeks.She was so focused on seeking help from the man she loved that she didn't realize someone was speaking behind her. Suddenly, she felt the man shifting, and as she turned around, she was surprised and relieved to see Mark.The man nodded for her to run towards the group of men behind those traffickers. The other Richter family's hitmen surrounded Katia to "hide"

Hilbert helped his friend by taking his arm to help him stand, and then everyone congratulated the couple.At that moment, Madeleine and Katia decided to get married on the same day and... in Lourmarin.For each of them, that place held a different meaning, but they both agreed it was a beautiful location for a double wedding.Joanne and Stefanie Elein were overjoyed. Their parents were getting married, and they would become one united family. Richard, the father, looked at his eldest son and his youngest daughter, and seeing them happy, he was happy too.For some reason, he looked at the lawyer and smiled half-heartedly."I should start having more conversations with that man, as he's the one my daughter Elyse has chosen," he thought. He looked around the room, and taking advantage of his wife's proximity to their children, he approached Hilbert and said,"I think I'll need a lawyer to help me with my will. Can I count on you?""Of course, sir," Hilbert replied, somewhat surprised, a

"Madeleine, welcome to our family," she said to her son's wife and then walked away to sit next to her wife.Katia swallowed hard, butterflies in her stomach were fluttering with force.Stefan and Richard Jr. had positioned themselves on either side, forming an intimate circle with them just before the ceremony began."Katia, tell him before the ceremony starts," Madeleine urged her friend, whispering in her ear.There was anticipation, but also uncertainty pulsing in her words.Katia nodded, gripping Madeleine's arm in silent support. The Judge, an elderly man with a warm smile, was adjusting his papers at the front, getting ready to commence the ceremony.It was the right moment to share the news."What to say?" Stefan asked in a whisper, looking at Katia.Katia swallowed hard again before letting the words out."I'm pregnant, Stefan... and it's twins," she told him in a hushed voice, her eyes meeting Stefan's, filled with excitement and expectation.Stefan was left speechless, for

The alarm clock went off and I cursed under my breath, somehow feeling that today would be a lousy day.Every day I got up early so I could get my son ready for school. Like every morning, I looked at the picture of the man on my bedside table. I missed him and didn't understand why he left.I picked up the frame that held the photo and stared at it. It had been three years since he had left and I couldn't help but wonder why he had gone.I put the frame back in its place and got out of bed. I grabbed the garter on the bedside table and pulled my hair back as I headed for the bathroom.I walked out and two doors down from mine, there was Adrien's door, with dinosaur stickers on it. I walked in that door and stared at the little boy sleeping on dinosaur sheets. I smiled sweetly and walked over to the window opposite the boy's bed to roll it up and see his reaction.He squeezed his eyelids shut, threw his arm over his eyes, and snoozed."Every morning the same thing" I thought tenderly,

The man seemed to be unaffected by the fact that I tried to make the elevator stop. Without further ado, I began to hit the steel doors with the palm of my hand, the one without the letters, while saying:"We're here! Somebody help us, please!""It's only twenty to nine. I don't think there are many people here yet," he said calmly."I know! But I can't stay locked in an elevator... especially not with a man!" I shouted nervously.That comment made the man turn his face towards me, but I kept banging on the steel doors and shouting. He was surprised, I could see it in his eyes as I stared at him through the lenses.As the minutes passed, my nervousness grew more and more. I dropped with one hand on my chest because I was starting to feel palpitations, heart pounding and also heart rate acceleration."The last time I was locked in the elevator with a man... was when..." I thought, getting more nervous.The tremors made an appearance, while my body began to sweat and the sensation of fi

I was in the cafeteria on the ground floor next to the reception, accompanied by my great friend, Madeleine.She was a thirty-five-year-old woman, beautiful, with a good figure and a tan complexion. Her eyes were an unusual black color, but they shone brightly. Maddie was the secretary of the Director of Human Resources and also the girlfriend of the General Manager of this company.On the other hand, I was the secretary to the CEO of the company, one who was arriving today.As far as we knew, the company they worked for had more branches in other places, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, and Detroit. Several branches were also spread across England and Europe.The central headquarters of the company was located in Munich, Germany."Are you feeling better now? Joshua told me you got stuck in the elevator," Madeleine commented as she added sugar to her coffee."Yes, I'm better now. Thanks to the man I got stuck with, it wasn't so bad," I replied with a smile. "I th

When I arrived home, it was five in the afternoon.I took off my heels at the entrance and walked over to the couch. Along the way, I took off my gray jacket, leaving it on the floor, and lay down face down.I was tired. I didn't feel like going out for dinner, but I knew they wouldn't take no for an answer. Whenever they saw me down, they suggested going out to distract me, not realizing I needed to be alone.I sighed, resting my arms on the couch and got up lazily.Ten minutes later, as I was showering in the bathroom in my room, the front door opened.A child's voice filled the apartment.By eight, I had my son dressed. I had put him in a gray bomber jacket, a dark gray merino wool sweater, and slim blue jeans.As I got dressed, my friends were looking after little Adrien.I went downstairs once I was ready. I decided to wear a gray textured knit dress and a dark gray mottled jacket.I approached the door when the doorbell rang. I smiled at the woman standing behind the door, and t
