LOGINAndrew met up with Adam at the agreed location, and the plan was laid out for him. His brother emphasized once again how much he needed his help on this mission.“We need every single person we can get. I can’t rely only on my own guards, and this is also your chance to get even with Oliver for what he did to Pedro,” he argued.“You’re right. The more people we have, the better the chances this plan will work. We’ll take down Oliver’s operations first, and then we’ll take him down. I know Pedro will be safe at the clinic while I’m helping you guys. Samantha could stay with him again—that way I’ll feel a lot more at ease.”“Looks like Cupid got you good, huh?” Marcos said, pulling him into a hug and giving his chest a solid pat.“Just wait until it’s your turn. I want to see how you handle it,” Andrew shot back, returning the chest tap.“That kind of thing doesn’t work on me,” Marcos said confidently.Alice, who was also at the meeting, heard his comment and smirked, pulling the lollipo
After the two of them finished breakfast, some of Adam’s men drove them to the clinic. Samantha was anxious to see her friend. She needed to see his real condition with her own eyes.As soon as they arrived, they were taken straight to the room. Andrew was inside. He hadn’t left Pedro’s side the whole time. The two women glanced at each other and shared a knowing smile. Things had turned out easier than they’d expected.“You look awful,” Sophia teased her brother.“Good to see you too, sis.”“You should go home and get some rest. What’s Pedro going to think when he wakes up and sees you like this?” Samantha added.“He’ll think I actually care and won’t leave his side,” Andrew shot back.Andrew’s phone rang. Before either woman could reply, he answered it. They could already tell it was Adam.“Hey.”“Are you still at the clinic?”“Yeah, what’s up?”“Have Sophia and Samantha gotten there yet?”“They just arrived. Is something wrong?” He picked up on the serious tone in his brother’s voi
After the hug, she kissed him and left the office. This time, Adam didn’t stop her. He knew there must be a lot going through her mind and didn’t want to pressure her. He picked up the photos, locked them away in the drawer, gathered the documents he needed, and left the office, heading back to the car. He was already worried about the upcoming mission, and now he was also concerned about his relationship with Samantha. He had no idea what Oliver was plotting.+++++++Oliver closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair, propping his feet up on the desk. A malicious smile spread across his face. He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a photo of Samantha.“We really do have a lot in common. You like feeling pain, and I like inflicting it. And soon your little boyfriend is going to see the surprise I have in store for him. Once I get him out of my way, no one will stop me from making you mine,” he said, putting the photo away before calling his subordinate. “Let’s go. We have a surpr
She started connecting the dots and realized that Marcos must have been the one who carried it out. She hadn’t seen him around, and Caio had mentioned he was out of town. She was sure that was the job his boss had sent him on. And through those photos, she got another glimpse of what the darkest side of Adam was capable of doing.“When I accepted that partnership, I made it very clear which kinds of business I would participate in. I don’t get involved with drug trafficking or human trafficking. Hugo and the rest of those men were using my safe routes to do that kind of dirty work, along with Oliver. He used my influence for this filth. The loyalty he was honoring was with Oliver, not me. It wasn’t just a betrayal against me but against Ivo as well.”He continued explaining, still keeping his back to her.“Before Marcos went after them, he intercepted a shipment containing women and children. I had already been suspicious, and my visit only confirmed what was happening. As for his han
Alice entered the office, closing the door behind her. The others were already waiting to start the meeting. She sat down and couldn’t help glancing toward Marcos, still thinking about what her friend had said. She snapped out of it when she heard Adam’s voice.“Here on this sheet are the warehouse specifications for the raid: all the entrances, exits, and the spots where the largest concentrations of drugs are located,” he said, handing a paper to each of them.“Alice, as you can see, you’ll be positioned in the building to the south. It has the best view of the warehouse entrance, so you’ll be able to watch who comes and goes and warn us if anyone shows up. That way we can either abort the mission or wait a little longer. And one more thing: if Oliver appears, shoot to kill. His presence on-site makes him the top priority.”The order was clear—Adam couldn’t wait to get rid of Oliver.“We’re not going in guns blazing. We’ll try to be as quiet as possible. There’s no need to draw unne
Samantha snapped out of her thoughts and memories with a smile on her face, reliving the details of that punishment. If every one of Adam’s punishments ended like that, she felt like it might be worth getting into a little trouble now and then.She closed her robe and headed back to the bedroom. When she had woken up in the middle of the night, her boyfriend wasn’t in bed, and she needed to get dressed to go look for him. Samantha left Adam’s room and returned to her own. She glanced at the chair still sitting in the middle of the room and felt a shiver run down her spine—but not from fear.After they had caught their breath, Adam had carried her to his room. By that point, the medical restrictions were long forgotten, and even he didn’t know how he hadn’t needed to go back to the clinic. He gave her a bath, took care of the marks on her body, and they fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.It was around four-thirty in the morning. As usual, Adam couldn’t sleep for long. He got up
Samantha thanked the woman in the kitchen and followed Marcos out. The moment they were out of earshot, the women exchanged glances and started whispering.“Is that Mr. Adam’s new girlfriend?”“She’s really pretty.”“At least she doesn’t seem stuck-up like Sabrina. I couldn’t stand that little prin
Sophia stepped away from the window and checked the time. It was way too late, and Andrew still wasn’t home. He knew Adam’s rules inside out but made a point of breaking them whenever he could.She grabbed her phone and dialed him.Lucky for him, he picked up fast. The second he did, his little sis
The two of them stepped out of the shower wrapped in robes. They’d spent way longer in there than planned—hands wandering again, picking up right where they’d left off.Samantha grabbed the nightgown and panties from the sofa, ready to head back to her own room. Adam noticed and didn’t want her to
Samantha took his hand and straddled him on the sofa, knees sinking into the cushions on either side. As she settled, she lowered herself slowly, sliding her slick heat down his length, drawing a sharp hiss from his lips.Adam cupped one breast, bringing it to his mouth. He teased it with his tongu
