Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 861 - Bab 870

Richard's POVIt was a great weekend. Ana and I had time to talk and make plans for the week. My parents were about to arrive, which made her anxious and worried. She was afraid they would disapprove of her, and I tried to calm her down, saying I doubted it very much, but that either way, nothing would change between us. Since she was already quite nervous, I preferred not to tell her about the things Alan had told me. I would talk to her after my parents arrived and she was calmer."Sweetheart, are you sure I won't get in your way?" It was the third time she had asked this since we arrived at the office."No, pretty girl, you won't get in my way. You'll help me a bit, and then we'll go pick up my parents at the airport." I tried to reassure her."Looks like we have a special helper today?" Alan arrived and smiled at Anabel."Alan, this pretty girl is my girlfriend Anabel. She'll be spending the day here with us. Ana, this is Alan," I introduced them, and Alan observed her attentively.

Anabel's POVI was almost suffocating there while listening to that story being told. There were so many cruelties against so many people, and I simply had no explanation for what my father did. If he hadn't interfered, my mother would have married a good man and probably would have been happy and probably would still be alive. Maybe Don and I wouldn't even exist, but she would be alive.My head was still spinning, trying to process that whole story, and silence hung between us until Melissa broke it. She was the first to speak."But..." She had something to say, but her thought remained incomplete. "No, it would be too..." She breathed and thought. "But, Alan, you said you found out that Antonia got pregnant right after you met and that Lionel discovered this meeting... so, could it be... no, nonsense, forget it." Melissa changed the subject, but Donald seemed to be the only one who understood what she was saying."I think I thought the same thing as you, Melissa," Don declared. "And

Anabel's POVI was looking at Melissa, but I was thinking about how many things had happened in my life that I thought were coincidences, but apparently they weren't.When Ilana came to live in my house, she made up a story that I was sneaking out at night through my bedroom window, but I had never gone out. However, she made my father believe it. I got a beating and was grounded.The next day she hurt herself and claimed I had hit her because she had told on me about running away, and her mother made my father take me out of my room and put Ilana there. My room became her room. And Irina even convinced my father that I should be punished for misbehaving and should be put in the attic room, which wasn't even a real room and had no window. It was just a cold, unfurnished space in the house that seemed to exist in another reality.Ilana always made up things against me, hurt herself and said I had hit her, pulled the heads off that horrible doll collection and said it was me. Once she ev

Lionel's POVI needed to find Anabel fast! Poor Irina was nervous and upset, and she barely had the energy to talk to me when I got home. But where did that stupid girl get herself to? I stopped by her apartment today before coming to the office and she wasn't there. And that bribed doorman assured me she hasn't shown up there in days.She was not at Donald's apartment either, and the investigator who's been following him hasn't seen her yet. But Donald definitely knew where his sister was, or he wouldn't be so calm. Yes, he knew! Maybe I should be more forceful with him. That's it!"Mirtes, tell Donald to come to my office," I ordered the secretary over the phone."Donald isn't here," the secretary responded promptly."What do you mean he's not there? Where did he go?" It was already past time for him to be back from lunch, and he usually wasn't late."He didn't tell me, sir. He just said he was going out for lunch." The secretary was efficient, but she had a monotonous voice that irr

Donald's POVIt was going to be a big day ahead of me. I had a lot of things to put in order. As I rode up in the elevator alongside Attila and Dr. Castle, I looked at the watch on my wrist - it belonged to my maternal grandfather."Take it easy, son. We have a battle ahead of us and it's going to be brutal. You need to stay calm," Attila advised me, and he was right, but I had been accumulating years of frustration and anger, and it was boiling inside me like a pressure cooker about to explode. After everything I had discovered the day before, I could feel it all bubbling up."Attila, it's going to be hard to control myself. I stayed away for years so I wouldn't have to deal with his shit, and when I came back, I ended up staying away from home and leaving my sister at his mercy. I've only recently become aware of the abuse she suffered, and I blame myself for it. I feel this rage growing inside me for everything he's done to her and..." I took a deep breath, "...to my mother. And I d
