Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 137
It was Saturday morning. I was at home playing with Peter on the carpet while Melissa was sprawled on the couch. We were having an animated conversation. The meetings at Alexander's house weren't happening every Saturday anymore, only when Alan had something really important to announce. But today we had the day off and were making plans.My phone rang on the kitchen counter and I went to answer it. When I looked at the screen, I recognized the number as being from the medical office and found it strange. I answered with quite a bit of surprise."Hello?""Catherine? This is Sylvia, Dr. Molina's secretary. How are you?""Yes, of course. I'm fine, Sylvia, and you?""Very well, thank you. I was waiting for you to call me back to reschedule your appointment. It's been a while.""Oh my goodness, Sylvia, I completely forgot. I've had some really hectic days." I vaguely remembered having to cancel the last appointment and forgetting to reschedule it afterward."No problem, dear. I'm calling y

Alexander’s POV"Caroline, are you home?" I asked as soon as that unbearable woman answered the phone. "I want to take you out."I almost went deaf from the scream that abominable creature let out. Of course, she was more than happy with the idea of going out with me. Knowing this, I took the opportunity to put my plan into action. I was already at her door and would take her for a "walk" without saying where, and I'd take her to the hospital. If she refused, I would call the lawyer and he would pressure her, but she wouldn't leave that hospital without doing the tests. It was perfect because Patrick had already confirmed that Johnson was at the club, so I could make my move without interference.It didn't take long before Satan's cheerleader came out of the house skipping, wearing a white dress and pink boots. My God, how ridiculous. When she approached, I told her to get in the car."Sweetieee, I'm sooo excited! Where are you taking me, tell me." She started speaking in that unbearab

The weekend was chaos. I was trying to put my thoughts in order. We gathered the girls on Sunday, and I told them what was happening. Soon, a competition started to see who would be the godmother, all agreeing that Mel was already Peter's godmother, so she was out of the running. I asked Virginia not to tell Levy; I would do that myself. And they all swore not to tell anyone, respecting my decision to prevent Alexander from finding out.On Monday, I was a wreck. Tired and distracted. I felt an almost uncontrollable sleepiness. I wasn't feeling well at all."Cat, wake up. Come on, lie down on the couch in my office for a bit," Patrick called to me in a low voice."What happened?" I lifted my head from the desk and looked at him, somewhat confused."You were sleeping. Come, lie down on the couch in my office. I think I should give you a few days off.""I fell asleep? I think I'm having a really bad stress crisis," I commented, somewhat irritated, knowing exactly what the problem was."I

Patrick’s POVI found it so strange that Catherine had an issue with my perfume, she'd told me several times before that my perfume was delicious. I think she's very sensitive right now, and rightfully so - she's suffering a lot. I had Alexander buy her the cake, he loves doing these little treats for Cat.I spent the rest of the morning at the club with a client. We had scheduled a tennis match and planned to have lunch together afterward to discuss some details of our business relationship. But my client had an unexpected situation and had to leave early. Since I had time to spare, I decided to go to the spa for a massage.I was heading to the spa, which is a bit further away from the sports courts in the middle of what's like a small grove full of trees, very peaceful and quiet when I heard a voice I knew very well. I took a look, and though she didn't see me, Caroline was having a heated argument with Bruno Hill. He was probably complaining because she was getting married, that idi

My day was horrible. I was feeling nauseous and very sleepy. Patrick came back from the club and stopped by my desk."Cat, come here," he called."Yes, Pat!" I teased him."Hey, I like that!" He smiled, a beautiful and relaxed smile. "But come closer and smell me.""I haven't turned into a dog, Patrick!" I joked with him."Silly! I changed my cologne, I want to know if you like this one." Patrick was such a sweetheart and very thoughtful."Ah, this one I like!" I said after catching his scent."Great, because I don't want my assistant running away from me." He let out a hearty laugh and went into his office.Only then did I notice Rick standing at the door watching the scene."What did I miss?" Rick asked."Nothing much, Rick. I was bothered by the cologne Patrick was wearing earlier, and he was kind enough to change it," I replied with a smile."Showing who's boss! I like it!" Rick commented. "Cat, how are you? We're worried about you.""I'm fine, Rick. It's just a lot of stress," I s

Alexander’s POVI was a bundle of nerves. I hadn't received the test results yet, but I was already certain that Caroline's child wasn't mine. I just wanted the results quickly to end this circus.The phone on my desk rang, and when I answered, Samantha told me there was someone at the reception who wanted to see me. It was none other than Liz. But what was she doing here? I told Samantha she could let her in, but that I would receive her in the meeting room.When Sam notified me of her arrival, I finished the email I was drafting to send to a client and left my office. When I reached the reception, Liz simply jumped on my neck and kissed me."Great! Now this tramp is going to hang around the company?" Patrick, who was leaving his office, remarked."Good afternoon to you too, jackass!" Liz shot back.I sighed and turned toward the elevators, and that's when I saw Catherine standing there with Rick, who was shaking his head at me, clearly in disbelief at the scene before him.Catherine

By the time Rick dropped me off at home, I had already dozed off thanks to Margaret's herbal tea. I woke up late to find Virginia sitting beside me on my bed."Hey, sleeping beauty!" Virginia said with a smile."Hi, Vi," I replied."How are you feeling?""Terrible. He's going to marry one woman and already has another as his mistress. And worse, I think she might be that woman from his past he was looking for.""Cat, I talked to the hottie. I'm going to tell you something, but it's for your own good. And my brother's too." Virginia seemed somewhat uncomfortable. "Alexander isn't getting married. All I know is that he found out that witch isn't pregnant.""What do you mean, Vi?""It has something to do with a test. But she's not pregnant, and he called off the engagement. As for the woman you saw kissing him today, that's more complicated, but what I know is that she's an ex-girlfriend, but Alexander doesn't have feelings for her." Virginia told me what she knew, which wasn't much."So

Alexander’s POVI arrived early at the company. I was anxious to talk to Catherine, explain the situation, and ask for forgiveness for the millionth time in the past few days. When Patrick arrived and saw me sitting there in the reception area, he threw cold water on my plans."Go to your office. She's not coming today. I gave her the day off, she deserves and needs it. And I promised the girls you wouldn't go after her today," Patrick said seriously."Damn it, Patrick!" I huffed like a moody teenager. "Let's get some coffee."When we reached the break room, Margaret, Rick, and Sam were whispering among themselves and fell silent when we walked in. We chatted for a bit, and then Patrick, Rick, and I went to my office."So, Rick, what do you know that I don't?" I pressed him."I don't know what you're talking about," Rick replied."Oh, you do! You definitely do!" I said, walking toward him. "What's going on with Catherine? Why are you being so much more protective of her, like you want

Alexander’s POVI entered the meeting room and there were too many people there. At the back of the room, several employees were sitting in chairs that had been lined up in rows. I recognized each one of them, including the directors of accounting, sales, operations, and administration. I already knew they were all participating in Johnson's fraud scheme.On the opposite side, in a chair by the table, was the employee we had thought of using to catch the others red-handed. But with the kidnapping of Peter and Catherine, we skipped steps in the audit. He had made a mistake and started flaunting a luxurious lifestyle that clashed with the position he held in the company. He was ambitious, careless, and talked too much. We caught him because of that and knew he was the weak link in the group.In addition to the employees, Alan and Larson were also in the room, along with three employees from Alan's team. The chief inspector was investigating my parents' death, with the head of the anti-fr

After receiving many hugs and hearing multiple times that everyone was happy and relieved that Peter and I were found safe, Alexander led me to Patrick's office.I placed Peter, who was sleeping soundly, on one of the beds still there and covered him, but first noticed a mark on his right ankle, which I didn't understand."Alexander, what's this mark on Peter?" I wondered if Alexander would have more information, since he had been following everything closely.Alexander looked at our sleeping son and gently ran his fingers over the mark, as if he could make it disappear with his touch, and sighed. He grabbed a blanket, covered our son, kissed his forehead, and pulled me to the sofa, making me sit on his lap."My angel, the conditions in which Peter was found were terrible. According to what Detective Moreno told me on the phone, there are no other marks on his little body and no injuries, which suggests he wasn't physically abused. But he was chained to the leg of a table." A tear roll

Alexander’s POVI was pacing back and forth in the room when one of the police officers called me, saying the detective searching for Catherine wanted to speak with me. My heart raced in my chest. I swallowed hard and picked up the phone."Good evening, detective." I greeted, waiting for the news."Just a moment, sir. Here, make yourself comfortable." The detective spoke to someone and then left the video frame. At that moment, Catherine's image appeared."My angel! Are you okay?" I asked, in tears. "Everyone, she's been found!" Everyone in the room shouted and applauded."I'm fine, Alexander, I'm sorry, but... my son, have they found my son?" She was crying and scared."My angel, Peter was found in Bellwood. He's doing well and flying here. Nando's parents are coming with him." I could see her expression soften as she heard what I was saying, noticing relief wash over her beautiful face."What a relief! Alexander, what wonderful news." She began to cry and couldn't stop."My angel, ca

I glanced through the window slit and realize it was already dark outside. "My God, how is my son doing?"I spent the entire day praying to God to protect my child. Alexander must hate me now. I simply left without saying anything. But I was desperate for my son. And I didn’t know what to do.After Dennis came in and left that sandwich, I thought they've gone out because everything became very quiet. But then I heard a noise, a door opening. And there were voices. I thought they've returned. Lord, protect me."Your dinner," Daniel opened the door, handed me a package, and closed it again.I pressed my ear against the door, I needed to know what they were planning."Dani, I'm finding it strange that I can't reach Cel," I heard Dennis comment."You should ditch that phone," Daniel reproached him."Relax, they can't find this number. We destroyed Catherine's phone, they'll never find it," Dennis seemed relaxed. "How long are we keeping her?""Johnson didn't specify. He said to take care o

Alexander’s POVI was a bundle of nerves waiting for any news. The police officers at the office had discovered the cell tower location and mapped out a search perimeter. Teams were already on their way."Melissa..." Fred's mother called on the phone."Hi, Mrs. Teresa.""The police arrived with two dogs. They're going in.""Thank God they're here!" I whispered."Teresa, get out of there now.""No way, I'm safe where I am, I'll wait," Fred's mother insisted."Mom, how can you see anything at this time of night?" Fred asked."While I was waiting by the salon door, I had Maria bring me your binoculars. I like them, you better buy another pair because I'm keeping these - they have night vision." Fred's mother was quite a character."Mom, for God's sake, you're not James Bond," Fred put his hand over his face."I'm better than him. Melissa said so." Fred's mother managed to get everyone in the room laughing, even with all the tension."Mrs. Teresa, you're simply the best. Thank you so much,

Caroline’s POVOh my God, what kind of backwater is this! I went to the salon I found in town today, it turned out okay-ish, but they're all such hicks. I needed to get out of this podunk town soon."Celeste, make that snotty brat shut up. You can hear him crying all the way at the entrance," I said while walking into this dump my father had scrounged up for us. "So, what do you think?" I showed off my new look."Yeah, it looks just like Liz's," Celeste agreed. "But you shouldn't have gone!""Ughhhh. That's exactly what I wanted. If my hottie hooked up with that skank in New York, he'll go crazy when he sees me." I was dying to run into Alexander. "Besides, nobody knows me here.""This kid never stops crying. When I first met him, he was much quieter," Celeste said."Oh, just give him some medicine. I've got Xanax in my purse, want some?" I offered."Are you crazy? We can't kill the brat before Alexander does everything we want. Better let him cry, he'll tire himself out eventually.""

Alexander’s POVWe entered my office and it was chaotic, with people talking and working on computers while Melissa organized all the incoming information. Fred, who I discovered was also a notable hacker, had joined Marcus."Alexander, we managed to access Cat's phone," Marcus informed me. "And we got footage from other buildings on the street and now have the license plate of the car that took her.""Finally, some good news." Some of the tension I was feeling dissipated."Not that good - the plate is fake, but at least we have a car and we've issued an alert for models of the same color," one of the police officers warned me."And what about the phone?" I asked, leaning between Fred and Marcus's chairs.Fred grabbed his phone and opened a message, quickly looking at it before tossing it on the desk with a huff. Rick was standing next to me and glanced at the screen."Fred, why did you receive a photo of Celeste?" Rick asked with a puzzled look."Photo of who?" Fred didn't understand

Alan looked worried, as if the news was bad. He introduced the man accompanying him before sitting down."This is Detective Novaes from Internal Affairs. He's in charge of investigating your parents' accident," Alan introduced."Mr. Miller, I regret to inform you that the helicopter accident that claimed your parents' lives was deliberately caused. We found that the disconnection of the tail rotor pedals in the pilot's cabin caused the accident. The connections were intentionally cut. The helicopter had undergone maintenance at the manufacturer and had been cleared for flight just two days before. It was sabotage. I know this is a difficult time, but whoever is orchestrating this kidnapping might also be connected to the helicopter sabotage.""My parents were murdered? My parents were coldly and cruelly murdered?" I could no longer contain my tears and despair."Detective Novaes, we want everyone involved to rot in jail. Whatever you need, we can help," Patrick took over the conversati

Alexander’s POVWhen I left the terrace, I was much more composed. I spent about forty minutes up there thinking and praying to God to watch over my son. When I entered my office, I asked if there was any news, and they said no. Then I decided to spend some time with Catherine and see how she was doing. I went into Patrick's office but didn't see her."Where's Catherine?" I asked loudly."What do you mean? She said she was going to stay with you for a while," Melissa said, frowning."She's not with me, she's not in my office, and she's not at reception. Where is she?" I growled."Calm down, Alexander, she might have gone to the break room," Tess said, and immediately everyone went looking for Cat."Sam, have you seen Cat?" I asked when I returned to reception."Sorry, Alexander, but I haven't. The reception's been crazy," Samantha replied worriedly. "What's wrong?""I can't find her." After I spoke, I saw Tess coming back toward me."The emergency exit door is unlocked.""No, no, no. I
