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   Private Party

    The two of them already walked into that room kissing. Alice helped him get out of the suit. After what he had done in front of her father, she was euphoric and turned on. Hearing Marcos say that she was his had left her extremely aroused. This time they were going all the way… or she wouldn’t let him leave that room. Until then, things had stayed at making out and caresses. They had barely managed to be alone. But it wouldn’t go past that day.He had already gotten rid of his shoes. Only the pants were left. He took those off too, left only in his boxers. He turned Alice around and pulled down the zipper of the dress, letting it slide to the floor. He took advantage of her being with her back to him to kiss her neck, caressing her shoulder.Alice wanted to take off the heels, but he asked her to keep them on. She didn’t understand why, but if he wanted it, it cost nothing. Maybe it was some fetish… or something like that.Marcos kept kissing her neck and the tops of her shoulders. He

  • Unexpected Encounter   Mine

    Throughout all those congratulations, it came the turn of the council members. With Adam, they simply wished them happiness—they didn’t dare say anything about nuptial matters. But Adam knew that with Caio it would be different and paid attention when those men approached his sister.“We wish the newlyweds happiness… and, as is customary, we will wait for the purity of the beautiful Sophia to be proven.”Adam imagined he would have to intervene at that moment, but before he could answer that flock of vultures, Caio showed himself to be far more determined than before.“There will be no proof of purity. I am her husband, and I am not questioning that. So I think that rule is ridiculous and should end. After all, what’s the point of the council demanding a woman’s purity if, most of the time, that purity she preserved is taken from her in a rude and violent way by her own husbands? And that kind of practice is still romanticized to this day by men like you.”Sophia held his arm more tig

  • Unexpected Encounter   Wedding

    As soon as they left the clinic, the first thing Adam did was call the lawyer. He informed him of the boy’s situation and everything he had told them. He took advantage of the fact that the call wasn’t being made near Samantha—who at that moment was tasting cakes with Sophia—to be very firm.“I don’t care who you have to call or what we’re going to have to pay. I want you to get custody of the boy.”If Samantha wanted so badly to adopt that boy, he was going to make sure it happened. Even if he had to use the influence he had.The two of them finished tasting the cakes. In the end, Samantha was already feeling nauseous from so many sweet things, but they managed to choose what they wanted.The last detail was ready. There was nothing left for the wedding. All that remained was to wait for the following day for the ceremony to take place.In the evening, Samantha and Adam still went to the clinic to visit Matheus. Since they wouldn’t be able to go the next day, they wanted to give him

  • Unexpected Encounter   Black Panther

    In the morning, after breakfast, the first thing Samantha did was go to the clinic. She wanted to know how the boy was doing and learn more about his story and whether there really was a possibility of adopting him. Adam went with her, since he almost never left her alone.As soon as she arrived, she saw Pedro at the reception. He was starting to do his tasks, only more slowly. Since he had had fractures, he needed to adjust little by little. She took advantage of him being there to ask about the boy.“Good morning. Can you tell me how the little one is doing?”“He’s fine. He’s already awake. He gave the nurse a bit of trouble getting him to take a bath, but there were no complications. He’s just skittish and gets suspicious whenever someone comes into the room.”“I’m going to see him. I want to find out a few things about him.”Samantha and Adam went to the room where the boy was. Pedro gave them the number. When they entered, they saw that he was already giving another nurse a hard

  • Unexpected Encounter   New Member

    When Samantha saw him in that alley, she imagined what might have happened and hurried over to the boy.“Hey, little guy… what happened? What are you doing here?”“A gang from the area wanted to take my spot. One of them had a knife. They wanted me to fight. Then one of them pushed me, and the knife ended up hitting me.”“Adam, we need to do something. We can’t leave him here.”Adam looked at her and, faced with that request, didn’t think twice. He crouched down to pick up the boy.“Press where they got you. We’re taking you to the hospital.”The instruction was given, and Adam lifted him into his arms. Everyone was still unsure of what had happened. Alice, who had also seen the boy before, recognized him.“What happened to the little pest?”“He got stabbed. We’re taking him to the clinic. If you want to stay without us, you can do that.”“We’re not staying here without you. We’re all going,” Sophia argued.Everyone got into the cars and headed to the clinic. Adam could see how worrie

  • Unexpected Encounter   Choosing the Dress

    Samantha still spent a few more days at the clinic. When she returned home, she was warmly welcomed by everyone. Adam, as always, went overboard with the care for his future wife and the mother of his child. Now that she was back, she and Alice were able to talk more thoroughly about the wedding preparations.After Oliver died, things became calmer and more peaceful. It was as if everyone could finally breathe easier, knowing he wouldn’t be planning anything else.They decided the wedding would be in the mansion’s garden. They would have the house to get ready, and the reception could also be held there. Sophia was quite euphoric. She showed the flowers and the decorations she had chosen. The two of them had agreed they didn’t want anything over-the-top, but something that felt joyful.The wedding would take place in the afternoon, followed by the reception for the guests. On Samantha’s side, there wouldn’t be that many people to invite. Most of Adam’s guests would probably be the cou

  • 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

  • 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

  • Unexpected Encounter   The Encounter

    “What do you want, Douglas?” Samantha snapped, yanking her arm free.She was at her limit. The blow-up in the kitchen had drained her patience, and she had zero interest in dealing with him, especially not now.“We don’t talk anymore, Samantha. I just wanted to check if you’re okay. You look amazin

  • Unexpected Encounter   Argument

    Pedro, a nurse at a private clinic, was the one who’d introduced Samantha to Douglas, her ex.

She loved Pedro, but so
