LOGINThe 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
Samantha followed the two of them, curious to see up close what Alice was scheming. They headed to the property’s shooting range. There were two: one outdoor and one indoor. As expected, they chose the indoor one.The competitors started getting ready. Alice handed Samantha a pair of ear protectors and stepped into her lane. The rule was simple: whoever hit the center of the target the most times would win. Samantha had no doubt who would come out on top.Both loaded their magazines and began firing. After emptying their rounds, they pulled the targets back in. Just as Samantha had predicted, Alice won.“Pure luck,” Marcos grumbled. He hated losing—especially to her.“Alright, that really wasn’t fair to you. I’ll buy dinner,” Alice replied with a smile.That had been Alice’s plan from the start. She knew she would win, but she wanted to have dinner with him. If she invited him directly, she was sure Marcos would turn her down. Since he was extremely competitive, she came up with the b
They went upstairs to Adam’s bedroom. Samantha filled the bathtub while he started taking off his clothes. When she came back and saw the condition of his body, she almost broke down in tears again.“Are you in pain?” she asked, her voice heavy with concern.“I’m fine,” he replied with that stubborn tone he always used.Samantha knew Adam would never admit to any weakness. He hadn’t taken any painkillers, and there was no way all those cuts weren’t hurting. Once the tub was full, he got in. The low groan that escaped his lips confirmed what she already suspected—the pain was real.Carefully, she helped him wash the cuts, running her fingers gently over the wounded skin. Even though she knew the doctor would be there soon to examine him, she wanted to take care of him as best she could.After soaking in the warm water for a while, Adam finally got out. He put on just a robe since Carlos wouldn’t be long. As he sat down on the bed, there was a knock at the door. It was Caio, letting the
Oliver had managed to escape and headed straight back to his house. He arrived furious, smashing everything he saw in his office. Even with his injured leg, he was fully focused on venting his rage.Sabrina stood nearby, watching everything but not daring to say a word. She knew that if she spoke, his anger might turn on her. After knocking over as many things as possible, he finally turned to her.“What are you waiting for? Call the damn doctor. Can’t you see I’ve been shot?”Sabrina didn’t answer. She quickly left the office to do what he had ordered. She called the doctor, who said he was on his way immediately. He already knew Oliver well and understood the man had zero patience.“The doctor is already coming. Do you need me to do anything else?” she asked, trying to be helpful since his rage was obvious.“You can’t do anything useful. Could you deliver Adam’s head to me, by any chance? Of course not. I think ever since I got you on my side, I’ve only had bad luck.”At that moment
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 si
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
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. Wh
The object began tracing her body again, and she already knew it was a flogger with a flat tip. Adam slid it across her skin once more, landing a few light strikes—on her stomach, her thigh—and even brushed it over her groin, sending shivers through her and making her hold her breath at the touch.
