Unexpected Encounter Lies
Oliver ordered them to take him out of the apartment, leaving him alone with Samantha. He stood up and went to the glass window in the living room. She followed him, getting closer.“Oliver, you don’t need to do this. There’s still time to back out. You have a choice.”“I don’t. That’s what you don’t understand. Do you know what it’s like to live in someone’s shadow your entire life? Do you know what it’s like to hear, day after day, that you’re not good enough like Adam Donovan? To grow up knowing that your life had only one purpose… to destroy him and that family?”Until that moment, Oliver was looking outside through the large glass windows. Then he turned and looked directly at her before continuing:“Do you know what it’s like to not be able to take so much pressure anymore and end up shooting your own father in the head? I know all those things… and I did it. After killing my father, I thought it was all over. That I could forget Adam for good. That I could live for myself. Be w
Unexpected Encounter Negotiating
Samantha was already in the elevator and was preparing herself mentally, as best she could, to meet Oliver. While going up, she thought that every time she met him, someone ended up getting hurt. She hoped that this time would be different… that everything would go well and that, maybe, the only one who would get hurt would be him.The elevator stopped, and the door opened. Before stepping out, she still held onto the wall, feeling dizzy. The bodyguard noticed and tried to help.“Are you all right, ma’am? You suddenly went pale.”“Don’t worry, I’m fine. It must be all this worry… but it’s already passed.”The bodyguard looked at her strangely and helped her out of the elevator, and the two of them headed toward the apartment door. They stopped in front of it. Samantha took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.Soon a man—probably one of Oliver’s bodyguards—opened the door and let the two of them in.As soon as she entered the living room, she could already see Oliver sitting on the sof
Unexpected Encounter New Nightmare
After he said those things at the counter, Samantha asked him to accompany her to a room so they could have some privacy.Oliver was standing in front of the office window, staring at a fixed point in the garden. His mind went back to a memory from when he was a child.“You’re going to do what I tell you, understood?”“For God’s sake, stop this. He’s a child.”“Children grow up. He needs to learn from early on what his purpose is: to take revenge for me on the Donovan family. I couldn’t do anything to the father, but you will do it to the son. You need to take everything from him. You have to be better than him at everything. Do you understand me?”“Yes, Daddy.” Little Oliver nodded, confirming.“You’re going to use your own son to get revenge? And all of this just because of that woman? You don’t respect me, or our marriage, or our family.”The sound of a slap echoed through the room, making the woman fall to the floor. Oliver, who was nearby, saw everything. He got scared and starte
Unexpected Encounter Engagement
After making that announcement, Adam received a few congratulations from his friends. They could now move on to the engagement ritual. He would perform his sister’s; afterward, Caio would perform his, since he was the second-in-command.He asked the two of them to stand facing the entire council and spoke several customary words used in those rituals, which mainly consisted of honor and loyalty.During the exchange of rings, no one said anything. Then the two of them stretched their hands forward, placing one on top of the other.Adam took a red ribbon, passed it over their hands, and wrapped it around them, tightening it firmly. Samantha, who was paying close attention to everything—since she would be next—nudged Marcos, who was near her, and started asking questions.“Are all engagement rituals like this?”“It depends on each organization. Some use other methods, like making a cut on the hands and then joining them. Adam chose not to continue that way. He preferred something more sy
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 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 Betrayal
Adam just smiled and started caressing her. Right as he leaned in to kiss her, he caught a glint in the glass of a cabinet across the room. He froze and yelled:“Get down!”He shoved Sabrina aside and drew his gun, but the shots were already cracking through the air. Bullets tore into both of them.
