Samantha followed them to the car, and when she got close, she could already feel a taste of the coldness he'd mentioned.

"You can ride with Caio in the other car. I won't need your services right now," Adam said, climbing into the vehicle without a backward glance.

Even though Adam had warned her, it still felt weird to have him treat her with such indifference. That sharp chill, the dry and distant tone, the complete lack of any glance or gesture that hinted at closeness... it all hurt more t

  • Unexpected Encounter   Second Bride

    Marcos went to his room and started taking off his clothes to take the shower he hadn’t been able to take at Alice’s house. He went to the closet again and once more stared at the box that contained the bracelet. He picked it up, remembering Samantha’s words.He looked at the mirror inside the closet and stared at himself for a few moments, as if wanting to force himself to wake up.“Enough of being a coward and a scaredy-cat.”He looked at the bracelet again and then put it back in the box. Those words he said to himself were so he would wake up to life. To understand that there was no reason to be afraid of what he was feeling. And that the desire to make up for the past had been granted. That was the moment to make everything happen.In the two days that followed, things remained calm for everyone. Adam held a meeting with the council, presenting Caio as his second-in-command. He also informed them that, as a show of gratitude, he would give his sister’s hand in marriage to him and

  • Unexpected Encounter   The Truth

    She couldn’t do anything else. All that was left was to wait and see the result of that event. Alice finished her shower and then left her apartment, heading back to her father’s house. When she arrived, she found her father in the living room talking to another man. As soon as they saw her, her father motioned for her to come over.“Didn’t I tell you she’s beautiful?” He held her shoulder, showing her to the man.“Yes, you weren’t lying about that. But what happened to your mouth?” He noticed the corner was injured.“It was during work,” she answered simply, still not understanding who that man was.“That’s something my son won’t accept. Her place will be at home, giving him children. That kind of situation won’t be allowed.”Alice started to understand what that meeting was about and made sure to stand her ground.“Then know that, in that case, it’s your son who doesn’t work for me. I’m not going to stop working for Adam or stop doing everything I trained for years to do so well.” S

  • Unexpected Encounter   Tip of the Iceberg

    After that intense kiss, the two of them pulled apart for lack of air. They were panting. Even in the poorly lit and smelly alley, you could see the look of desire they had for each other.“Was that what you wanted?” he asked, still breathing hard.“No. I want a lot more.”Alice didn’t want just that one kiss. She wanted many more. She didn’t want Marcos in her bed for only a few hours, like it was with most people. With him, she wanted a real relationship and, if possible, a lasting one.She wanted to keep those kisses going and didn’t care that they were in the alley. She wanted to seize the opportunity. When she held his face to continue, Marcos turned to the side and started throwing up.She felt completely awkward. She put her hand in front of her face and blew, checking if she had bad breath. She looked at Marcos, who was still bent over, and said:“I don’t kiss that bad.”After a sigh, she moved closer to him, supporting him so he wouldn’t fall. She ran her hand over his back,

  • Unexpected Encounter   Drunk

    Alice was already used to feeling jealous. She had always watched him from a distance and had grown accustomed to seeing Marcos with several women, even kissing them. It had been hard, but she paid the price for never getting over Marcos and never even confessing what she felt for him.She took the opportunity to order a drink. She was going to need it to get through all of that. She kept watching from afar. Marcos seemed to be drinking more than usual and, after several shots, went down to the dance floor. Alice stayed near the bar, trying to keep him from noticing her presence.Marcos came down with two more girls who had been with him in the booth and went straight to the dance floor. From the way he was dancing, Alice could tell he was already drunk. Samantha had been right to ask her to keep an eye on him.From the way Marcos was moving on the floor, still holding a glass in his hand, she knew trouble was inevitable. In the state he was in, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself p

  • Unexpected Encounter   The Past

    After dinner, the four of them still talked for a while. Andrew was spending more time at the clinic than at home; at that moment, he preferred Pedro’s company to that of his own family. Adam wasn’t saying anything about it, because he knew his brother was in love—maybe even for the first time.The topics they talked about ranged from Sophia’s wedding with Caio to some of the absurd stories Samantha had witnessed at the hotel. Adam thought that was great. Those moments when he could talk about ordinary, even simple things made him feel even closer to his family.When it was time to go to bed, Adam thought a little about the nightmares and about his own past. He decided to tell Samantha everything. That was something few people knew about him—not even his siblings had ever asked much about it. He pulled Samantha against his chest and began to speak:“Do you remember when I asked you not to hug me from behind without me noticing you were there?”“Yes, I remember. But why are you bringin

  • Unexpected Encounter   Promotion

    Samantha wanted to keep learning more about that story to see if she could help her somehow.“Was it because of this whole story with Marcos that you never took anyone seriously?”“Maybe. He was my first love, and I felt completely broken when all of that happened. Now I’m not sure if I should have entered his life… or if I should have just stayed his secret admirer.”“I don’t think so. You didn’t force him into anything. You simply played your game, and he started liking you. It could have gone wrong, but it worked. If you held onto those feelings for him for so long, you shouldn’t give up at the finish line. Like I said, let him get used to all of this first. But I have a feeling this is going to work out.”Samantha even found it romantic that Marcos was Alice’s first love. After finding that out, more than ever, she was going to help the two of them get together.In his room, Marcos finished taking a shower, looked out the window, and noticed that the car Alice was in was still the

    Adam held her steady so she wouldn’t collapse. He knew her legs had given out after two back-to-back orgasms.He slowly pulled his hand from her panties. Waited until she met his eyes, then brought his fingers to his mouth and tasted them deliberately.“I could never get tired of how you taste.”He

  • Unexpected Encounter   Feeling Special

    Adam paced back and forth, restless. The thought of Samantha getting hurt because of him was eating him alive. Worst of all, the guilt—he knew it was his fault. If he hadn’t flagged her down that night and forced his way into her car, none of this would be happening.But then another thought slippe

    Samantha came back loaded with everything and dumped it on the counter. The first-aid kit was already under the sink—she prayed it had what they needed.When she stepped in, Adam was struggling with his shirt buttons, jaw clenched. She flicked him a quick glance, then busied herself at the cabinet,

  • Unexpected Encounter   Wounded Man

    Samantha’s pulse hammered. Floor it and he might shoot. Stay still, and he might kill her anyway. Damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.“Open the door!” the man barked, voice raw and ragged.Without thinking, she hit the unlock. He collapsed into the passenger seat, blood slick on his hands, and
