"...And you're the only one missing..." her boss's words echoed in her head. How could she escape? How was it possible that the German man was an employee in the same company? Was this some kind of revenge from her past life? Karma, perhaps? "Impossible." She hadn't done anything wrong to deserve the universe collecting a debt from her."I'll be there in a moment. I don't feel well," Emma said honestly. Her stomach had tightened from what she had seen."Really? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Emma shook her head as if she had come face to face with something."It's just that I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me. I just feel a bit nauseous.""But you haven't had lunch, so what would you vomit, dear? Are you sure...?" Her boss paused her words."What?" Emma asked, alarmed."Are you pregnant?" her boss asked. Emma widened her eyes and quickly denied it."No, no, no, no. Of course not. Impossible." Emma had always been careful. Always. It was impossible for h

Max was left alone in the apartment, feeling a mix of relief and frustration. He had managed to make Irina leave, at least for now, but the situation was far from resolved. Their relationship was crumbling, and Max knew that it was time to face the truth.He walked through the empty rooms, each one a reminder of their shattered dreams. The apartment that was meant to be their temporary getaway now symbolized the disintegration of their future together. Max couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness for the life they had once imagined—a home with a garden, a grill area, a pool, a spacious kitchen, an entertainment room, and a view of a lake, with plenty of rooms for their future children. A place where family could thrive.It was one of their dreams as a married couple, although Irina had always preferred a penthouse in a famous and expensive building with a view of the Statue of Liberty. Max had been confident that he could convince her to embrace a quieter life outside the bustling cit

Emma closed the door behind her and then leaned back, slowly sliding down until she was seated on the dark hardwood floor. She lifted her legs against her chest and wrapped her arms around them, resting her chin on her knees. She replayed the encounter with the German man over and over again, losing count of how many times she had done so at that moment. She closed her eyes and shook her head slowly. How could she work with someone she had a sexual affair with in Hawaii? And to top it off, he was her boss's boss.“I already have enough with my mother's situation, Jamie, and now this,” she muttered under her breath. She got up and walked to her bedroom, grabbing her towel and a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom. After a long shower, she stepped out to rest. She still had time to read for a while. With the towel wrapped around her hair, she began applying her nighttime creams until the doorbell of her apartment rang.Her eyes widened, alarmed. No one knew her new address

Chapter 14
In Emma Spencer's apartment in bustling New York City, the two lovers surrendered themselves passionately to each other. Every shared breath, every touch of their bodies, created an addictive connection. Together, they explored an intimate dance where they found the perfect friction, leading them to new and rewarding moments of ecstasy. In that instant, their bodies united in a shared climax, feeling their hearts beat in unison. Exhausted yet fulfilled, lying naked next to each other, their ragged breaths and sweat-drenched bodies testified to the intensity of their passion.—"That was..." Max could barely speak. "The best of the best," Emma echoed, struggling to draw air into her lungs. Her skin was tingling all over, and she closed her eyes, savoring the post-orgasmic sensation that rarely came to her."I confess, that was incredible," she smiled with her eyes still closed, feeling the movement of the bed. She opened her eyes and imagined that the German man would change and leave.

Max had toured his father's company early in the morning, which was now under his control after the merger. He was a whiz in all financial matters and knew he could take the company to new heights of recognition.A tall, robust woman named Katharina, with black hair, had come from Germany to be part of Max's direct staff. At that moment, she was arranging all the finance books and other books on various topics that her boss liked to read."Is my office ready?" Max asked the woman. She finished listing all the books that had arrived in the moving boxes from Germany in alphabetical order. She stood up and nodded."It's almost done. We just need to stock up the minibar, and then it'll be completely ready. The personnel in charge of purchasing the items from the list will be here shortly."Max walked over to the large floor-to-ceiling bookcase that covered one wall of his new office, which had previously belonged to his father. He discreetly checked to ensure everything was properly arran

Jamie widened his eyes when he heard the elegantly dressed man say he was his boss. "What kind of joke is this?" he wondered. He knew that after the merger, there would only be one boss, but he thought it would be Mr. Müller as always, not someone so imposing, tall like a major league wrestler, but dressed in designer suits."My boss?" he stammered. If only he had arrived on time for the meeting, he would know who this man really was."Yes, so I ask for more respect towards the lady," the man replied, his tone firm, emphasizing the need for respect towards Jamie."Are you really the boss?" Jamie couldn't believe it. Max approached and briefly showed him the ID card he had inside his jacket."I didn't know Mr. Müller had a son, only a daughter and..." Jamie stopped his words. "Please, on this occasion, let it pass. I promise it won't happen again. I let my frustration get the best of me," Jamie said with concern. He couldn't afford to lose his job now, especially after calling off his

Emma stood at the entrance of her apartment, contemplating whether to let her mother in. It had been years since they last saw each other, and the memories of her mother's manipulative behavior haunted her. Yet, there she was, frail and desperate, begging for help."Please, Emma, let me in," her mother pleaded, tears streaming down her face. "I'm cold, haven't eaten since yesterday, and I haven't slept. I'm just asking for help one last time."Emma wasn't cruel, but her mother had ruined her childhood and adolescence, leaving her with lifelong trauma. Why would she help her now?"It will be temporary. At the first sign of trouble, you'll go to a shelter," Emma warned."Thank you," her mother said, wiping her tears.Deep down, Emma knew she would regret offering help to the woman who had used and abused her for years. While she scolded herself, urging to be more determined and tough, a part of her reluctantly agreed, but with conditions.As they entered the apartment, her mother grew i

Max fired the locksmith who had changed the lock on his apartment door. He didn't want any more surprises from Irina while he was away. He didn't want her to find anything suspicious and ruin his revenge. He loosened his tie and walked to his bedroom closet, opened one of the drawers, and carefully rolled up and tucked the tie into a small empty cubicle. He had perfectly arranged several ties by color, and a smile appeared on his lips as he remembered what he had seen in that suite closet in Hawaii. Emma had something similar with him, and that had surprised him because with Irina, everything was chaos—she was messy and undisciplined.Max's phone rang once he stepped out of the shower, and when he realized who it was, he pursed his lips. He sat on the edge of the bed and returned the call. On the second ring, the other person answered."Do you remember that you have a fiancée?" Irina's voice came through the line."I'm sorry, it's been a busy day.," Max replied, letting himself fall b

In the morning, Emma went through her morning routine before heading to work. As she stepped out of her room, she found the living room neatly arranged, with nothing out of place. She was surprised to see that Elaine had made her bed and folded the blankets. The smell of bacon made her hungry, but she denied herself. She had to leave now if she wanted to finish her day on time. She didn't want to be late again like the previous day."Sit down, breakfast is ready," Elaine announced, looking at Emma, who was gathering her laptop bag and purse."I have to go now, you have breakfast," Emma replied, about to cross the room to reach the door when Elaine blocked her path."I did it from the heart, come on, have something in your stomach," Elaine insisted, already dressed except for a few strands of hair escaping her. She didn't allow any room for a reply and pulled Emma's arm to bring her closer to the table. It was set with food, fewer dishes than Max had cooked the previous morning, but it

Max was looking at the latest photos the private investigator had delivered a couple of minutes ago. There were many pictures of Irina and Horacio, and he discovered that Irina was constantly going to a house on the outskirts of the city. Mr. Jones informed him that it was Horacio's family vacation home. He threw the photos onto the surface of his desk and then sighed, letting himself fall back against the chair's backrest."So, that house is where they have their encounters," he confirmed something very obvious. Mr. Jones nodded."I've discreetly spoken to the staff and gathered some information," the investigator paused. "Apparently, they don't leave the room. They say Horacio dismisses them once his fiancée arrives, but occasionally, kitchen staff have been asked to deliver food to the room. One of the maids saw his fiancée naked in the room, and another person saw them having sex in the pool, which resulted in immediate termination."Max's stomach churned. Imagining all that bothe
