Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 951 - Bab 958

Richard’s POVIt was a relief to apologize to Anabel. I hated it when she was upset with me, and I would go crazy trying to fix things, to make sure everything was good between us. In the end, I realized that the whole marriage thing was much more in my head than in hers. There must be some reason why I think about it so much. Maybe I should ask myself why not instead of asking myself why I should get married again.With my head clear and things at peace with Ana, I needed to focus on my work. And that was what I was doing when the phone on my desk rang."Rick, it's Daniel. I need your guidance." I found it strange that the company's head of security was calling me."What happened, Daniel? Something with Ana?" I was already getting up to go after Anabel."No, she's fine, she's in her office. It's someone else." Daniel seemed uncomfortable telling me what he wanted."Go ahead, Daniel, what's the problem?" I closed my eyes, but deep down in my mind, I already imagined what it was."Tess

Tess’s POVThat woman again! If that thing was even a woman, because the strength she had wasn't normal. But what was she doing there? Had Daniel put her to work at the Miller Group? And that fancy little doll that Rick rushed to defend, saying she was his woman? But my father assured me Rick was single, and my father rarely made mistakes.That monster hurt me. The left side of my face was all scraped up and she broke two of my teeth. I had to come straight to the dentist and this would cost me good money, even though for a cheap dentist. But I couldn't go around with broken teeth, especially the front ones. And I knew there was no point filing a complaint with the police, everyone who saw what happened would deny it."Tess, your turn!" The dentist's secretary called me and I entered the office."My goodness, were you assaulted?" the dentist asked when he saw me."No, I was hit by a motorcycle, but the rider fled. Fortunately, it wasn't serious," I replied. "I brought the pieces of my

Anabel’s POVIt was so hard that life had to be this way, that parents could fail their children so badly, leaving such enormous wounds open. I didn't know if I could forgive Lionel; most likely, I never would. But I also didn't know if I could believe what he had told me. The only thing I was certain of was that my children's lives would be different; they would be surrounded by love and joy.Rick led me to the couch and sat with me, soothing me, comforting me. Soon Sandra appeared with a cup of tea and insisted I drink it, saying it would be bad for the baby if I stayed so upset. I drank the tea, and she took the cup back to the kitchen, leaving Rick and me alone again."Take it easy, sweetheart. Don't let him affect you like this. It's not good for our baby, and even less so for you," Rick spoke softly to me, and he was right.I focused on my baby, on how excited I was for the appointment, on the joy of having a life growing inside me. And I began to calm down, until I felt complete

Richard’s POVAs soon as we left the doctor's office, Anabel and I sent messages to our families sharing the good news and arranging to gather everyone for dinner on Monday. We wanted some time just for ourselves, savoring this news I had waited so long to hear. So we spent the weekend together, wrapped up in each other's arms, just the two of us and our babies, as if the outside world didn't exist, and we made so many plans.We had agreed we would only start buying things for the babies and planning the nursery after she passed the three-month mark. She was almost at two months, but by Monday I was already so anxious that I couldn't help myself when I saw that pair of little overalls in the store window near the restaurant where I had lunch with Melissa.According to the saleswoman, they were rompers that came as a set with a hand-embroidered collar bodysuit. And along with the overalls, I also bought matching caps, blankets, little shoes, and mittens. When I got back to the office, m
