Chapter 142

Author: Maria Anita
Alexander’s POV

I 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.

    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

    Alexander’s POVWhen we returned to my office, I was boiling with anger. We told Rick everything Jacqueline had told us at the coffee shop."Now, Rick, I want you to officially notify all our business partners, clients, suppliers, and every place we frequent that Celeste is no longer part of our company. And inform them that she's been trafficking corporate information and has contacts in all of them, and to maintain our partnership, I want them to investigate." I gave Rick his instructions, and he started working on it immediately."My God, this is like a cancer spread everywhere." Patrick was as shocked as I was."Oh, and call the Social Club and tell them I want Leila out today," I added."Alexander, when you were dating that slut Liz, she and Celeste got along really well, right?" Rick asked."Yeah, later Celeste said she was disappointed in Liz, that she never imagined it and never wanted to see her again. Why?""Because I'm starting to think your reunion with Liz wasn't a coincid

    I took yesterday off, and today I was ready for battle. I had rested, thought a lot, and put my head in order. I would go to work and talk to Alexander. I found it strange that he hadn't reached out to me yet.I felt somewhat insecure, wondering if he had forgotten about me. That woman who kissed him in the reception area, could she be the woman he was looking for? If so, Virginia and Patrick were wrong, and Alexander had already forgotten me. Thinking about this made me sad. I needed to know.When Rick arrived, I called him for coffee in the break room. He would know the answers."Pretty woman, how are you?" Rick asked, examining my face."I'm fine, Rick, thanks for taking me home. I passed out before getting there, sorry.""Don't mention it, Cat. That's what friends are for. It was my pleasure to put you to bed." He said, making me laugh at his double entendre."Thank you anyway. But there's something I want you to answer.""Sure, what do you want to know?""Who's that woman?" Rick s

In the end, he agreed.Rick's sisters said they would have the answer he wanted by the end of today, as it was the day Liz's mother would be at the salon. So we had to wait. Today I had a lot of work piled up, so the day would pass quickly.When I saw Cat sitting at her desk, I was very happy; she seemed much better. I exchanged a few quick words with her and went to my office. Soon the phone rang. Samantha told me it was Dr. Flavian Moreno, and asked to put the call through."Flavian, my friend, how are you?""Hi, Patrick. I'm a bit embarrassed, man, the job you asked for took longer than I expected. The lady is very discreet.""Man, I had completely forgotten about that. In the end, we discovered she w

    Alexander’s POVPatrick was acting very strange. He seemed distressed. When we arrived at his house, besides us and Alan, Henry and Fred were also there. How weird."What's going on?" I said, starting to get nervous."Sit down," Patrick said, and I sat. "Remember when we fired Cat, I asked my friend from the police department to investigate her?""Yes. But that doesn't matter anymore," I said, shrugging."No, it wouldn't," Patrick was very nervous. "She really is an incredible person, very correct and honest. But he discovered something." He looked at Fred. "He found out who Peter's father is.""No way? Seriously?" Fred was surprised. "Man, I never spoke to Cat or Mel, but I tried to find this guy when Cat got pregnant and couldn't. Who is it?""Hold on," Patrick said. "Almost at the same time, Alan came to my office with the report about the investigation of the woman you've been looking for all this time, Alexander. He found her."I looked at Patrick, unable to decide if I was happy

    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

    Alexander’s POV"What's going on?" I heard Catherine's voice and went to her. She had woken up because of all the commotion."My angel, I'll tell you later. Fred, please take Cat to the library," I asked Fred, knowing he would protect her."No, I want to know what's happening," Catherine insisted."Oh, so this is the beggar you fell in love with?" Liz started saying. "I heard you got involved with some nobody. But honey, don't fool yourself, because he loves me!""Are you crazy, Liz? Whatever we had ended a long time ago.""I don't think so, Alex. You had me every way possible in New York last week!" Liz taunted."You street trash, I'm going to mess up that cynical face of yours so bad that no surgeon will be able to fix it this time." Melissa went crazy, grabbing Liz by the hair again. The chaos was set."ENOUGH!" We heard Catherine's shout. "Mel, let go of that bitch."Melissa released her and looked at her friend. Catherine stood up, adjusted her dress and hair, and walked toward Li

She didn't want to go to one of the bedrooms, said she wanted to stay close to everyone, so I sat down and put her head in my lap. She fell asleep with my fingers in her hair.Dr. Molina told us to wait until she wakes up before leaving, gave me lots of information about her pregnancy and many details about Peter's pregnancy, which he also monitored. After talking for a long time, he said goodbye and left. Alan took the cue and left too, and Mari ended the video call."So, father of the year, how are you feeling?" Patrick asked excitedly. "Because I'm going to end Melissa and Fred's reign and become the most doting uncle in the world.""Keep dreaming, Patrick! You might outdo Fred, but me, darling? Impossible!"
