Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 138
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 called the secretary and arranged to meet her during lunch at a café near the clinic. When we arrived, she was already seated at a table in the back."Good afternoon, Mr. Miller. Mr. Guzman. How are you?" She greeted us very formally."Wait, you know me?" Patrick asked, surprised."I work weekends at the Social Club casino." She said somewhat awkwardly. "And you both tip really well. I'm Jacqueline.""Man, that's right! I even hit on you once..." Patrick recognized her and burst out laughing. "But without the makeup, with your hair tied back and glasses, you look so different.""Yes." Jacqueline agreed uncomfortably. "Thank you for calling, Mr. Miller.""Look, Jacqueline, I'll admit when you gave me your number, I thought you were hitting on me. But now, I'm curious." I said, sitting down."Mr. Miller, I work at the clinic because I need the salary, but honestly, Dr. Vale is a man without scruples, and I think what they're doing to you is absurd. Especially since I've

I was sitting next to my mother when Patrick came in. He told us everything that had happened, about the call from that crazy woman, and the more he spoke, the more I cried. After he left, Mrs. Agnes, Mel's mother, told my mother who Anna Caroline was, and Virginia informed them both about what was going on. It was too much information to process.My phone rang and I quickly answered it. I recognized Dennis's voice on the other end saying:"Don't say anything. If there's anyone near you, leave and only let me know when you're alone."I lowered the phone and started moving away from the room. When I reached the door, Melissa called out to me."Cat, what's wrong?""I'm going to see Alexander, Mel. I want to spend some time with him," I said and left the room.When I reached the corridor between the elevators and the meeting room, I started speaking again."Where's my son? Why did you do this?""Easy, kitten. Your son is still fine, but let's make things easier, because your lover won't a

Alexander’s POVI went back to Catherine and hugged her. When the elevator opened, I turned her toward it. She ran out to hug her parents, just as Melissa rushed toward hers. Catherine's father approached me."Son, thank you for sending for us," Mr. Anthony said, his expression showing the weariness of someone who hadn't slept and was very worried."No need to thank me, father-in-law!" I said, accepting his hug.Mrs. Selina came closer with red eyes. I hugged her and felt that maternal warmth. I greeted Melissa's parents and briefly explained the situation. Dr. Molina had taken Cat to her room and was examining her.I called Catherine's parents and said we needed to talk. I had to bring them up to speed on everything. We went to Cat's room, and Dr. Molina said she was doing better before leaving."You sent for my parents?" Catherine asked with teary eyes."Yes. I called Larson and explained the situation. I sent the company jet so they could get here quickly," I explained. "Cat, I can

Alexander’s POVMy son had been kidnapped for over twelve hours now. Since the moment Lygia called, I had had to keep myself under control. I wouldn't lose it because I had to find my son. And I needed to take care of Cat.I had already activated all my possible contacts. Many people were looking for my son, but I was still thinking if there was anything else I could do. Patrick and Rick arranged for beds, food, and clothes. The executive floor had been transformed into a search command center, and none of us wanted to leave. Rick had set up a large conference table with chairs around it in the middle of my office, so many people were working there."Alexander." I heard Mari's voice and went to hug her. "Son, stay calm and have faith. Peter will be found safe.""I'm so glad you came, Mari. I feel like I'm about to lose it." She was like a mother to me, and all I needed was her here to support me."You won't lose control!" she said. "You're a strong and intelligent man. Being nervous an

The next thing I remember is jolting awake on Alexander's office couch. Looking around, I saw Samantha holding my hand, Margaret coming in with a tea tray, Patrick speaking nervously on the phone, Rick also on his cell phone, and Alexander desperately yelling at Daniel, the head of security."Alexander, she's awake," Samantha called, and he rushed over."My angel, I've already called the police. Lygia and the girls are on their way. It seems Dennis and Daniel were the traitors. They've both disappeared," Alexander explained through tears. "I've also asked Dr. Molina to come check on you.""Alexander, my son, he's just a little boy..." I was panicking."We'll find him safe and sound, my angel. We will," Alexander said, looking into my eyes. "I need you to stay calm for our baby in your belly, but I don't want to take my eyes off you. Let me handle finding Peter.""This won't knock you out, dear, but it will calm you down," Margaret offered me the tea.It wasn't long before Alexander's o

On Monday, we dropped Peter off at daycare, and I took the opportunity to inform them that Alexander was Peter's father and could pick him up too. When we arrived at the office, Alexander kept pulling me toward his office."Alexander, my office is on the other side," I reminded him.He groaned and closed his eyes, saying he'd forgotten. I saw Rick leaving my office with a smile on his face."Good morning, power couple!" Rick was excited. "Hope you two don't mind, but I went back to working with my old boss. I'm not in the mood to sit in the front office listening to you two moaning.""Rick..." I said, shocked."Oh, come on, pretty woman, I know exactly what goes down in the president's office.""He's not wrong, my angel." Alexander had a mischievous smile plastered on his face."Relax, friend, I've already moved everything back," Samantha informed without leaving her desk.When I entered my office, everything was indeed in order, and as every Monday, there was a tulip arrangement on th

"Well, well, if it isn't little Sardines remembering her old friends," the voice on the other end teased."Michael, darling, I never forget my old friends. You guys are family, honey! How are you?" Virginia's eyes were sparkling."I'm good. Just need a girlfriend to comfort me since my friend went off to catch some sun in Malibu," Michael referred to Levy's departure."Don't be so dramatic!" Virginia scolded. "But I actually called to tell you something I know will cheer you up.""Oh really? I'm listening.""That fool Henry really messed up and Sam is single now," Virginia revealed."Nooo! Are you serious, Sardines?""Yep, Henry's out of Samantha's life.""Sardines, you're the best! But I gotta go now. We'll talk later." Michael quickly hung up.It wasn't long before Sam's phone rang. She picked it up and showed us the screen - it was Michael. She put it on speaker:"Michael, what a surprise. Everything okay?""My queen, I'm dying of sadness. You know my friend left, I'm feeling so lon

I woke up alone and heard noise coming from the kitchen. I got up and found my two men having an animated conversation about the "new house." Alexander and Peter were sitting having breakfast. Alexander had prepared hot chocolate and a grilled cheese sandwich for Peter, who was smiling and chewing while listening to his dad talk. The table was beautifully set with fruits, juice, yogurt, bread, cold cuts, eggs, and cookies. I leaned against the doorframe and watched them - they were already dressed and showered. Had I slept that long? I didn't even know what time it was."Mommy!" Peter was the first to spot me and sound the alarm."Good morning, sweetie!" I walked towards my little boy and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Good morning to you too." I turned and gave Alexander a quick kiss."Good morning, angel! Come, we made breakfast, right Peter?""Yes, daddy!" Peter was in his morning happiness mode that I never understood where it came from."I didn't want to wake you, you were tire

When we got home, Peter took a box of building blocks from his room and spread them on the living room carpet. Alexander sat down with him, and they spent the afternoon playing and watching cartoons.After dinner, Peter was exhausted. He fell asleep in his father's arms, who insisted on putting him to bed. Coming back to the living room, Alexander hugged me on the couch."Angel, we need to talk." Alexander sighed. "There's so much I want to know. But I also have some things to tell you. I don't know where to start.""Start by telling me about New York," I asked, sitting facing him."It was Friday, the day we arrived there. We went to a bar at night, and Liz showed up. I was upset and losing hope that you'd come back to me. You were dating Levy. So I went to Liz's apartment. It was stupid, but it was just that one time." Alexander closed his eyes. "And like you said, I was with her, but I could only think of you.""I won't say I didn't care, because I cared a lot. But I won't fight with

It didn't take long for Lygia to enter, pulling Peter by his little hand. When he saw Alexander, he let go and ran towards him."Alexandaaa!" Peter stretched out his little arms, and Alexander crouched down, picking him up."Peter. My boy." Alexander was crying, overwhelmed with emotion from having his son in his arms. I looked around, and everyone was crying, including me."Alexanda, I missed you. You didn't come to play with me anymore," Peter complained."Oh, my boy, I'm dying of missing you too." Alexander spoke as they hugged each other tightly."Hi, Mommy." Peter turned to me. "Uncle Patrick sent for us.""That's right. And aren't you going to say hi to everyone?" I asked him."Ah, Mommy, I missed Alexanda so much!" He said, resting his little head on Alexander's shoulder, who couldn't stop crying. "Hi, everyone!" Peter waved and looked around, greeting everyone at once. "Why are you crying, Alexanda?""Because I'm so happy to see you," Alexander could barely speak. "Sorry, every
