Their entry was cleared. Everyone was already aware of the visit, just as Adam had ordered. They drove in and stopped in front of the mansion. The driver opened the door, and the two of them stepped out, though Simon still made a point of helping her.

“They’re here,” Sophia announced when she saw them through the window.

Adam rolled his neck from side to side, a clear sign of all the tension he was carrying. Outside, before they reached the door, Simon gave her a warning:

  • Unexpected Encounter   Reconciliation

    At the clinic, Andrew stepped out to get something to eat. When he came back, Pedro had just finished showering, and a nurse was helping him get dressed.Just like his brother, Andrew was also quite jealous. He approached the bed and ordered the professional to step away:“I’ll finish helping him get dressed.”The nurse knew exactly who he was and didn’t argue. He simply nodded and left the room.Pedro watched the expression Andrew had given the man. He really wanted to smile because he knew he was jealous.“Why didn’t you let him finish the job?” he teased.“Because you have a boyfriend who can do that for you. And this boyfriend right here is very jealous. I don’t want anyone taking your clothes off or putting them on… except me,” he said, bringing his hand to the buttons of the pajama shirt.Pedro noticed that instead of buttoning it, Andrew was unbuttoning it. He looked up and met his boyfriend’s eyes, which were staring at him with pure mischief.“What are you doing?” he asked, n

  • Unexpected Encounter   Sorting Things Out

    After putting her little scheme into action, Sophia went back inside and ended up running into Caio, who was coming out of the office. He looked from side to side, making sure Adam wasn’t nearby. She noticed the gesture and made a point of clarifying:“Don’t worry. Thanks to me, he’s upstairs talking to Samantha. He probably won’t come down anytime soon… at least I hope so.”She smiled, and he also felt a little more relieved. He needed to talk to her, and maybe that was the best moment.“Can we talk? I need to speak with you.”It was already almost getting dark. She preferred to talk outside. Her brother might take a while to come down, but since the plan could also have failed, he might show up sooner than expected. She took Caio’s hand and pulled him toward the garden.They headed to the spot where she had been earlier, near the pool. There was a space between the two walls, behind some coconut trees and bushes. There they could talk freely without being seen.He hugged her first a

  • Unexpected Encounter   Plan A

    Andrew, who had also been present at that meeting with Simon, saw that everything had been resolved and that Samantha was already home, safe and sound. He finished a few things his brother had asked him to do and returned to the clinic to see the person he most wanted to see lately.Pedro was already improving thanks to Carlos’s care, who had received several recommendations to make that patient a priority.When Andrew arrived, Pedro was trying to move around the room to go to the bathroom. He was using a crutch to steady himself, but he still lost his balance. If it hadn’t been for Andrew, who arrived in time to catch him, he would have fallen—and might have made his injuries worse.“I can’t leave for a few minutes without you getting into trouble?” he scolded, still holding him in his arms.“I can’t keep depending on you, or on other people, all the time.”“You can’t… or you don’t want to depend on me?”They were still very close to each other. After catching him so he wouldn’t fall

  • Unexpected Encounter   Giving a Helping Hand

    Samantha was already alone in the bedroom. Sophia and Alice had left, leaving her there with her thoughts and the mess she had made. They had already told her how upset Adam had been when he found out she had disappeared.She also already knew about the photo Simon had sent and the rest. She was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, staring at the door. She wanted Adam to walk in and hold her… and at the same time, she dreaded the conversation that was inevitable.This wouldn’t be a discussion about a simple jealousy crisis, like the one at the club. She had doubted his feelings and his sincerity. And that had definitely hurt him.The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She didn’t know how she had ever believed it would be easy to leave behind what she felt for Adam. Now that she knew the truth, the mere possibility of losing him for good made her see just how involved she was.It was with Adam that she had truly discovered herself. It was with him that she had fe

  • Unexpected Encounter   Negotiation

    In the office, the atmosphere between the two of them remained tense. In an attempt to break the tension, Adam offered a drink as a courtesy. The other accepted and walked around the office, paying attention to a picture frame with a photo of Adam and his siblings.“You seem very close to your brothers and sister.”“Yes. My family and the people I love are extremely important to me.”“You know that your council wants the marriage between Sophia and me, don’t you?” He got straight to the point.“Yes. And the same answer I gave the council, I can give you in person: I don’t accept it,” he replied without beating around the bush.Simon took a sip of his drink, analyzing the other’s answer, and continued:“Even if that is important for the cooperation between our organizations?”“Exactly. I can negotiate several terms between our organizations, partnerships, and collaborations, but my sister is not negotiable.” He wanted to make his position very clear.“I don’t know how it works in your

Outside, before they reached the door, Simon gave her a warning:“Only step away from me when I say so, understood?”She nodded, and the door opened. Simon walked in smiling, not bothering to hide his amusement. She, on the other hand, looked serious and didn’t know who to look at first.Everyone was standing side by side, staring in their direction. In that moment, Samantha felt as if she were walking toward a firing squad.Adam glanced quickly at her. That look scanned for any sign that she might be hurt. Then he turned his attention back to Simon. She noticed the cold, fleeting

  • Unexpected Encounter    Travel Plans

    Samantha understood that this was genuine care from him. She took a deep breath, holding his dark brown gaze while his warm hand still rested on her face.“Okay… I get that you did it for my own good,” she murmured, lowering her eyes for a moment as if the words were hard to say. “I’m just not used

  • Unexpected Encounter   Office

    Samantha slipped into something light for heading downstairs: shorts that ended mid-thigh, snug enough to hug her curves, and a thin tank top that accentuated her breasts, leaving her cleavage naturally exposed without trying too hard. The fabric clung a little to her still-damp skin from the showe

  • Unexpected Encounter   Briefing the Report

    Lunchtime had arrived. Adam returned home and decided to handle everything from there. He still hadn’t seen Samantha and didn’t want to leave without seeing her again. He sat at the office desk, signed some company papers, cleared pending organization matters, and organized everything for the upcom

  • Unexpected Encounter   Friends

    Sophia took her hand first, giving it a reassuring squeeze. She noticed Samantha had gone a little serious after what she’d said.“First, take the pill I brought you. I heard about what happened and how sick you got during the chase,” she said, placing the tablet in Samantha’s palm.She stood up, g
