FAZER LOGINAs 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
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
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
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
The room was silent. Only the sound of the machine monitoring Samantha’s heart rate could be heard. Adam had finally fallen asleep from the exhaustion of staying awake the entire night. He was sleeping, sitting on the sofa in the best room of that clinic.He hadn’t waited the twenty-four hours to see Samantha. He wouldn’t have been able to wait that long, and Carlos knew it would be useless to say no. That was why he had allowed him into the ICU.By that moment the twenty-four hours had already passed, and Samantha was in a regular room, but the doctor had chosen to keep her a little more sedated. When the effect of the sedative wore off, she woke up and felt discomfort in her stomach, which made her remember what had happened. She started looking around until her eyes landed on Adam, who was still sleeping, sitting up, his head resting against the sofa.Samantha looked at him and managed a smile. She imagined that, with his stubbornness, he probably hadn’t left. Those thoughts were r
As soon as she felt the handle of the knife firmly in her hand, Samantha still pulled it slowly out of her pants. Only then did she drive the knife hard into Oliver’s leg. Because of the pain, he released her arm. Right after that she threw herself to the side, giving Adam clear access to shoot him twice.Samantha looked in Oliver’s direction; he was on the floor, bleeding. Since he wasn’t moving, she got up quickly and went to Adam, hugging him. She kissed him and cried at the same time, from joy and relief.“I’m sorry for the things I said. I know they hurt you, but I didn’t have a choice.”“I know, baby. I understood. Everything’s okay now.”While they hugged and kissed, they ended up changing positions. Adam was now with his back to the place where Oliver had fallen, without worrying about making sure he was really dead; he just wanted to hold her.“Tell me… are you okay? Are you hurt? Did that bastard do anything to you?” He held her face while he asked.“No. He didn’t touch me.
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
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
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
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
