Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 841 - Bab 850

Richard's POVI was anxious for my father to finally reveal the reason for his fight with Lancaster Family, just like my friends who had all leaned forward in their chairs to hear what my father was going to say. It seemed like no one was even breathing there."That devil didn't have a pot to piss in and, mind you, that's not the problem - the problem is how ungrateful and cruel he was to whoever extended a hand to him. He became the trusted man of his first wife's father and married her, a delicate and gentle woman.""Anabel and Donald's mother?""That's right. Antonia was her name. Her father trusted Lionel and was so happy that he handed over the business to him along with his daughter. But Lionel was never any good. He embezzled money from his father-in-law's company and cruelly mistreated his wife. Beating, locking her up, leaving her without food, without water, threatening and dominating through fear - he always did these things. And he always had many mistresses. His wife soon

Richard's POVI arrived home at lunchtime and found the place empty. I had thought about having lunch with Ana, but she had gone out with the girls and I was quite happy about that. I knew that with that crew she would be safe and have fun. Later I would think of a little gift for the girls - they were incredible, and since they found out that Tess had left me, they had been even more wonderful, supporting me in a way that was fundamental to my recovery. And they welcomed Anabel into the group, which made me even happier.I quickly ate the sandwich I had bought on the way and left a box of mini brownies on the kitchen table for Anabel. I wanted her to know I was thinking of her. I scribbled a note and left it on top of the box. Right on time, the intercom buzzed - it was the realtor. I wasn't very excited, knowing it could take a while to sell the house. As a rule, you never sell to the first interested party."Rick, how are you? These are Lucas and Irina, they're interested in the hou

Anabel's POVI had an incredible day with the girls. I had so much fun! They made me feel like part of the group. I was thoroughly entertained by their stories. I shared mine too, and it was anything but amusing. Mel assured me she would find out everything that had happened and who the girl in the video was.I entered Rick's house in high spirits, having bought some clothes and several colorful panties, plus ingredients to make him dinner. I went to the kitchen and found a box of mini brownies with a sweet note from him saying he missed me. I started preparing dinner and it was almost ready when I heard the front door open."Beautiful lady, you're going to spoil me!" He came into the kitchen, hugged me, and gave me a kiss. "You know how to cook?""For your information, I cook very well. I learned when I lived abroad." I wrapped my arms around his neck and he gave me another kiss."Ahem!" I looked at the door and saw my brother standing there, laughing."We have company," Rick said bef

Anabel's POVMy brother didn't seem very willing to give in. I knew him - when he got something into his head, he rarely gave up. He was ready to argue with me, but Rick intervened before Donald could speak."She's right, Don. Transferring those shares to her is like putting a target with neon lights on her back." Rick backed me up, and I was grateful."But then what do we do? Let him keep thinking he runs everything?" Donald was frustrated."Actually, he does!" I sighed. "But no, I'll transfer three percent of my shares to you, and you remove him from the presidency," I proposed, and he immediately stood up."No way!" He refused without even listening."This is the solution. You're ready to be president of that company; I'm not. And if you take over, he can be as angry as he wants, but he won't touch you because he's too much of a coward to mess with someone his own size. And I want to take a break from the company until the dust settles. I need to!" I explained."I agree with her, Do

Lionel Lancaster's POVDonald had lost his mind if he thought he could confront me like that. That brat! Wasn't it enough that Anabel caused me so many problems? Now her little brother decided to play protector. I was in a terrible mood - that video had resurfaced and left Irina devastated. A woman as distinguished as her, having to hang her head because of this humiliation Anabel had brought upon us - it was absurd.I needed to get home and see how she was doing. When I left this morning, she was crying and anxious, devastated because she couldn't go to the club, knowing she'd be the target of malicious gossip. And poor Ilana, such a good girl who risked being dragged through the mud because of Anabel. Oh, but when I got my hands on Anabel, she'd see - this time I wouldn't show mercy.I left the office and headed home. I'd arrive in time to have lunch with Irina and Ilana. That was it - I'd go home and spend the rest of the day with them. Maybe we could plan a trip as soon as I shippe
