Semua Bab Prisoner in your arms: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Amadeus Richter, a renowned Russian entrepreneur, was the owner of one of the world's most prestigious hotel chains, the Richter Hotels. The Richter hotels were known for their 5-star quality, and the man was committed to ecological and sustainable development. This aspect had caught Nicole's interest, as she had studied several projects related to the design of these hotels. If she hadn't signed the contract with Bruno, she would have undoubtedly accepted Mr. Richter's job offer. Not everyone would have such an opportunity.Bruno was visibly jealous and was unsure if it was the right time to divorce Nicole. Doing so would undoubtedly be like throwing her into the arms of that Russian playboy, because that's what this guy was. After leaving Nicole's office, Bruno went straight to his computer to do some more research on who this man was, trying to pull Nicole away from his side."So, Amadeus Richter, huh? He has quite a history of conquests around the world, from Arabian to Japanese

Bruno felt like the weight of the world had fallen on him. He had to know who the father of that baby was. Could it be Amadeus? Impossible, he had just met him, or so he thought. Maybe they were just pretending in front of him.Meanwhile, Sophie ran down the street with Nicole chasing after her, trying to catch up."Sophie, please stop," Nicole shouted as she stopped and bent over, placing both hands on her knees, sweat dripping down her forehead.The blonde stopped her wild run, turned to look at Nicole, and felt guilty seeing her friend in that state. After a few moments, she returned to where her friend was."I'm sorry, friend. It's not your fault what I'm going through. I apologize for disturbing your peace. I know you already have enough problems," she said, tears streaming down her face.Nicole approached and hugged her friend. They headed to a nearby café close to their workplace.Bruno called Dante. He needed to vent, and his brother immediately came to his aid. They decided t

Amadeus and his entourage left later, and Nicole decided to talk to Bruno to finally resolve the issue of their divorce. Alizza was organizing the meeting room."Bruno, I need us to finally sign the divorce papers. Please accept the corrections I've made to the agreement. You just have to sign, and we'll be divorced right away.""From what I can see, you won't give in," he asked in a tone that revealed his sadness. He couldn't help it."Not at all," she replied curtly.Nicole took the documents out of her bag, signed them, and handed them to him. Then she turned around and went back to her office, feeling her heart beating fast and not wanting him to notice.Bruno watched her walk away, his face completely flushed. He tried to hold back the tears that threatened to come. Maybe it wasn't the best time to accept the divorce. He was concerned about Amadeus's interest in Nicole.Suddenly, a hand on his shoulder snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Alizza, and when he turned around, he

Max felt the gaze of everyone fixed on him and hurried to answer. He instinctively turned to look at Amadeus, who was also looking at him. Fortunately, the other guys didn't notice this interaction.Max spun the bottle, and this time it landed on Alizza. He took the note and handed it to Sophie."Of this group, who would you take to a deserted island?" Alizza felt her cheeks burn, considering taking the shot, but she didn't. She took a deep breath before answering."Bruno," she said, pointing at him.Nicole felt uncomfortable. She didn't understand why, considering she had insisted on getting divorced. Bruno looked annoyed, and Nicole thought Alizza was quite audacious. The rest of the group fell silent, their gazes shifting from Alizza to Bruno and then to Nicole.Alizza spun the bottle, and this time it landed on Nicole."What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you in life?" Nicole blushed as she remembered it."I think the most embarrassing thing was the other day i

Deborah calmly read the information written on those sheets. At no point did she feel any emotional connection to the information she saw about her son or her grandson; they were merely strangers to her.She felt it was a great annoyance to have to get close to them. As for Nicole, she thought that removing her from the picture would save them a lot of trouble. She considered her such an insignificant girl.In the Hamptons, Bruno's parents had prepared a luau-style evening for their guests. The boys wore shorts and shirts with floral patterns, while the girls donned cropped tops and long hula skirts. Bruno didn't like that Nicole had her belly exposed, even though she looked great and there was no evidence that she had ever been pregnant."You should cover up. It's a bit windy, and you might catch a cold," Bruno approached her, offering a small blanket."I don't think so, but thanks for caring," Nicole replied, moving away from him to join Máx, Sophie, and Dante, who were engaged in a
