LOGINMarcos left Alice’s apartment. When he reached the elevator, he placed a hand on his chest, still feeling his heart racing.“What the hell was that?” he muttered to himself.When they had been so close, bodies pressed together and faces just inches apart, his heart had pounded and even his dick had reacted to the proximity.“It’s just lack of sex. I need to get laid. You’ve been tense lately—just find a girl who’s up for it and that’ll take care of the tension. This kind of thing won’t happen again,” he tried to convince himself.He got to the parking garage, climbed on his motorcycle, and glanced at the little box he had tucked into the inner pocket of his jacket. He decided to head to one of Adam’s clubs. In his mind, the solution was simple: sleep with someone and solve the problem.Back at the mansion, when Adam came out of the bathroom, he acted normal with Samantha. While she finished drying her hair, he said “I’ll be right back” and left the room with his phone. He went to talk
Caio was getting ready to head to his room when he received a message from Sophia:“I need you to come to my room. It’s urgent.”He picked up the pace. The word “urgent” sent all kinds of thoughts racing through his head—from her being in danger to her having gotten hurt. He reached her door quickly.He knocked, and she answered almost immediately. Sophia glanced both ways to make sure he was alone, pulled him inside, and locked the door.“What happened? What’s the emergency?” he asked, concerned.“This is the emergency,” Sophia replied, pulling him into a deep, intense kiss.Caio understood right away. He had been eager for this since the day they had gotten closer in the office. He wanted to repeat that moment, but he hadn’t found the right opportunity—and he didn’t have the same boldness she did.Their lips parted for a second. Caio scooped her up, making her wrap her legs around his waist, and carried her to the bed. He laid her down carefully and positioned himself on top, resumi
Samantha couldn’t hold back any longer and ended up bringing up the subject she had promised herself she wouldn’t mention.“You trusted Sabrina so much that you never even suspected she could do something like that.”Adam found her tone strange, but he answered anyway.“It’s not exactly like that. Things happened really fast, and we didn’t even consider that possibility. We got distracted, especially with everything that was going on with you.”“And would you forgive her if she wanted to come back to you?” Samantha asked, looking him straight in the eyes as she waited for his answer.Adam didn’t understand where these questions were coming from, but he continued answering honestly.“Why would I do that? She knew perfectly well that I don’t forgive betrayal. Besides, I already have you. What reason would I have to want her back?”He replied, holding her gaze and looking completely sincere. Samantha asked a few more questions but didn’t push the subject any further.“And how are your in
The three of them arrived at the store. At the entrance, Sophia asked the security guards to wait outside.“You can wait here. I don’t think anything’s going to happen inside, especially with Alice around.”They obeyed and stayed outside, keeping watch. Once inside, the three women began browsing the clothing racks, picking out a few pieces. Sophia headed to the fitting room to try on what she had selected.“I’m going to check out the dresses on the other side. I have a dinner tonight and I want to look stunning,” Alice said, clearly excited.“Like everything you wear doesn’t look amazing on you!” Samantha rolled her eyes.“But it wasn’t always like that… I’ll be right back. Stay alert,” Alice advised.Samantha noticed that Alice sounded a little off when she said “it wasn’t always like that.” It seemed like she had remembered something and gotten sad for a second.She took the opportunity to look at a few items herself, chose what she liked, and headed toward the fitting rooms. On th
Adam finished his shower and, before Samantha stepped in for hers, said:“I’m going to get dressed and head downstairs. I want to get this bug situation sorted out quickly so I can relax and plan how to finish Oliver off.”“You haven’t eaten anything yet, Adam. The doctor said you need to eat because of the medication. Do you want to end up with gastritis or a stomach ulcer?”“Are you scolding me, babe?” he asked, stepping closer with a smile.“Yes, because you’re incredibly stubborn.”“I’ll take it from you… and I actually like seeing this bossy side of you,” Adam said, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her in for a kiss.“Go get dressed. Didn’t you say you were in a hurry?” she shot back, taking the chance to give another order.“Yes, ma’am,” he replied, giving her a playful salute with a grin. “I promise I’ll grab something to eat on the way. Is that good enough?”“It better be,” Samantha answered with a satisfied smile, happy he had given in.After saying goodbye, Samantha wen
When Andrew got back to the clinic, Pedro was still asleep. He didn’t want to wake him, so he stood quietly by the bed for a few minutes, just watching. Earlier, he had stopped by the infirmary to get a few scratches he’d picked up during the escape treated.As he stood there, his thoughts drifted to his brother’s situation with Samantha. All the dangers she had faced just by being with Adam, the desperation on her face when there was no news of him… Would it be better for Pedro to stay away from him? That way, he wouldn’t run the risk of going through the same thing his friend had.Lost in thought, Pedro woke up and saw him there. He immediately noticed the small scrape on Andrew’s face and grew worried. Samantha had already left looking roughed up, and he had only found out through the nurses.“What happened to you? Are you hurt?” Pedro asked, trying to move but wincing in pain.“Careful, you can’t move like that,” Andrew said, stepping closer.“Are you really not hurt?” Pedro looke
Marcos finished his shower, threw on fresh clothes, and headed out of the guest room toward the grand staircase of Adam’s mansion. Halfway down the hall, he ran into Sophia, who was also heading for the stairs.“Where you off to, squirt?” he teased, pulling her into a bear hug and planting a kiss o
Both men whipped their heads toward Samantha at the same time. She was completely lost.She stared down at her two hands being held. Douglas let go immediately. Adam, on the other hand, played dumb and kept his grip.“What the hell is going on here?” she demanded, looking between them.“Don’t you r
Adam was pacing the hallway like a caged animal. Waiting with no answers was driving him insane, even if it probably wasn’t serious.“I can’t take this waiting bullshit. I’m going in there,” he growled, already moving.“They’re not gonna let you in the treatment room, Adam. Family only,” Caio warne
Samantha got even more on edge after that whole thing. Oliver’s visit only made the worry spiral in her head. She needed a glass of water. At least that helped calm her down a little. She asked her coworker to cover for a minute and stepped away real quick.She got up, grabbed the water, and came b
