Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 168
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 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

Alexander’s POV"It's time to start talking, Gilbert. Where the hell is he?" I asked, already feeling tired and in a bad mood."I'm not stupid, Alexander. I want everything on paper and signed, guaranteeing that I won't go to jail and that my assets and my family's assets won't be touched," Gilbert said with the most cynical face in the world."Gilbert, first of all, you're not in a position to demand anything. Second, you don't have any assets. Everything you think you have, you stole from me. So forget it. And third, you don't impose conditions here. You tell what you know, and the detective decides how to improve your life," I said, wanting to punch the face of that Satan's helper."Well, then you guys figure it out," Gilbert said and crossed his arms with a little smile on his face."Well, then you can stay in jail for twenty years. And that's considering that you'll have a progression of regimen for good behavior. I don't know if you understand, but we're dealing here with fraud,

Alexander’s POV"But are you girls still working?" I asked, seeing all of them at the reception, including Catherine and Alan among them asking for a thousand things."With everything that's happened in the last two days, there's a lot to sort out. We're scheduling meetings with clients and suppliers who were diverted to Johnson's shell company, and with some of ours who somehow found out what happened and have many questions," Catherine explained."Alexander, I've prepared an official statement for you to forward to all clients and suppliers. It needs to be done quickly. I'll forward it to your and Patrick's email," Alan informs."The sooner you guys release that, the faster we can send it out," Melissa alerted."Girls, you need to rest. You too, Alan," I warned them."We'll do that as soon as this mess is in order, boss," Samantha informed. "By the way, I've cleared your schedules for the rest of the week.""I did the same with yours, manwhore!" Melissa said to Henry, who let out a s

Henry's POVI had been trying for days to explain myself to Samantha, and her finding out that I was at the ranch with Isabella last week only made things worse. I mean, I was going to tell her, but her finding out because she walked into the room and caught me talking about it just complicated my already not-so-easy situation. My day couldn't get any worse.I was sitting there in the reception area of the Miller Group, thinking of a way to talk to Samantha without her being able to escape and without Melissa threatening to rip my balls off again.But also, what was I thinking when I fell for Isabella's scheme? I was such an idiot. Isabella came to my house, said she needed help, and I let her in, trying to be a nice guy, but two bottles of wine later, with her provoking me a lot, and me already thinking with my lower head, I ended up going to bed with a woman I don't even like. As my mother says, old habits die hard and I've always been a man of many women. But I like Samantha, and I

Alexander’s POVAfter the doctors left, I pulled Catherine in for a hug, kissing the head of our son who was on her lap. I was relieved to have them there again, in my embrace, and I would never let them go."My angel, you can't even imagine the fear and affliction I felt over the past two days. My family in the hands of sadistic and crazy people. What I felt was absolute panic, a terror eating away at me from the fear of losing you both," I said, holding her hand when we were alone."I also went crazy when we discovered they had taken our boy." Catherine's eyes were brimming with tears.I kissed her forehead, took my son from her lap, and pulled Catherine to sit on the couch. We stayed there as a family for a while, just united and feeling the love that bound us overflowing from us. I felt sleep overtake my son, felt him snoring on my chest with his little hand spread over me, with the serenity and trust that a loved child has. I felt the warmth of the woman I love next to my body and

When I opened the door, Alexander's office was immediately invaded by our friends."Ah, I want to pamper my little one! Is he asleep?" Melissa made a sad face looking at Peter in Alexander's lap."For god's sake, Catherine, close that door." Fred said entering in a hurry."What's the matter, Fred? What's the problem?" I asked without understanding when he locked the door behind him."The problem is my parents, your parents, Mel's parents, Alexander's foster parents, Patrick's parents, Henry's mother and even Jorge, Lygia and little Margaret." Fred spoke with a face of someone who was terrified."Alexander's foster parents?" I asked without understanding."Mari and Alan." Fred explained making me smile."Your parents are here, Patrick? And your mother, Henry?" Alexander was curious."Yeah, man, they found out from Fred's father what was happening and caught a flight here as soon as they could, they wanted to be with you. But I won't lie, they drive me crazy!" Patrick told."My mother th

After lunch, I convinced Alexander that it was better for Peter to go home with my parents, Lygia and Jorge. We still had work to do and Peter needed some peace and quiet. So, our parents agreed that we still needed to work and they finally said their goodbyes and dispersed.Alan and Mari went to the floor below to finish up the audit stuff."Finally! I thought they would never leave," Patrick said as the elevator doors closed, letting himself fall into his chair.We all sighed in relief. Alexander called the guys into his office. Tess was already disassembling the brunch table that had been set up at the reception, as well as the beds in Patrick's office, and coordinating the entire organization of the floor. I went to my office with Virginia and Melissa to release urgent documents while Sam and Manu stayed at the reception sending emails, memos, and rescheduling postponed commitments.Two hours later, we gathered in the pantry for coffee. We were all tired and needed to go home, but

Henry’s POV"Good morning, family!" I entered the kitchen in high spirits on Monday morning and was greeted with a collective, laughter-filled good morning in response."Kids, brush your teeth quickly and get going, so you're not late for school," Samantha hurried Clara and Enzo along."I'll wait outside, children," Alfonso put his cup in the sink and left with a smile, accompanied by Maria."Good morning, Nightingale!" I hugged Samantha and gave her a lingering kiss."Good morning, my handsome!" She responded with her arms wrapped around my neck and then whispered in my ear:"We have the house to ourselves this morning.""I'll get these kids out of here quickly," I got excited, but she pulled me to the table, saying she was waiting for me to have breakfast.The kids rushed out, shouting unintelligible goodbyes. I found all this too good, but I was eager to spend some time alone with my goddess.Samantha and I were sitting in the living room, making plans for the week with the kids whe
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 113
Samantha’s POVI had three dogs running around the house, a little girl chasing them, a chatty teenager, a handsy boyfriend, and a Sunday lunch to prepare. Managing all of that was quite complicated.We invited our friends over for a Sunday barbecue and pool day, and I told Enzo to invite Luna and her sister. I also took the chance to invite Vince, who was off work. It would be a fun day.Patrick and Virginia arrived soon after, followed by Catherine and Alexander with Peter and the fantastic quartet. The chaos started growing as Peter became enchanted with the dogs and was already rolling in the grass with them and Clara."Sam, three dogs?" Catherine looked at me, impressed."Friend, some have babies, others have dogs." We laughed together. "But only Cinnamon is mine, the others belong to Enzo and Clara.""Does Hebe know about this?" Melissa asked, coming up behind us."She knows about having one small dog, but Clara and Enzo get everything they want from Henry." I explained."I can't
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 112
Henry’s POVWe arrived at the shelter, and there were many animals. Clara was emotional and even a bit sad, which moved me. She walked between the kennels, playing with the puppies that came close to the bars.In the last kennel, she saw a large dog lying at the back. He had round, sad eyes, droopy ears, short black fur with a white patch running between his eyes down to his snout, and one white paw. He was alone in that kennel.Clara crouched down and asked the caretaker to open the little gate. When it was opened, Clara crawled to the back and petted the dog, who looked at her with his head tilted. She whispered something in his ear, and he sniffed her and stood up. She came out, and he followed her."That's the one, uncle!" She hugged the dog around his neck - he was almost her size, reaching above her waist, and he licked her little face, making her laugh. "What's his name, sir?""This is Truffle. He's an adult dog, but still young, about a year and a half old. He came to the shelt
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 111
Henry’s POVWe were sitting in the living room planning an outing when my sister made a video call to her kids."Hi, Mom! Where are you now?" Clara answered with bright, innocent eyes, but I no longer believed in such innocence."Hi, sweetie! We're in Madrid, waiting for our connection. Are you both behaving?" Hebe had a relaxed, carefree expression."I always behave, Mom. As for Enzo, well, you know, he's a teenage boy, can't expect much from him." Clara spoke with disdain, making me smile."Stop being ridiculous, Clara. I'm a well-mannered young man, Mom. Always behave like a gentleman." Enzo protested."Great, keep it up so Mom can travel more often." My eyes widened - she had barely left and was already planning to go again. "Let me talk to your uncle and Sam."Sam and I took the tablet and chatted a bit with Hebe and Ed, but I felt persistent nudging at my ribs - Clara was getting restless, so I decided to end this little quarrel."Sis, I want to ask you something." I thought it b
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 110
Samantha’s POVI truly loved Clara and Enzo. When Hebe mentioned to me that she wanted to travel with Edward, I immediately told her to surprise her husband and booked the trip, as Henry and I would take care of the kids. She was more than happy to accept my offer.That's why I pushed the store to deliver the furniture earlier than planned and paid extra for it, but it was worth every penny. I also asked Alexander for a few days off, which he didn't hesitate to give me. We would have lots of fun, I needed this peace and joy, and I wanted to see Henry with his niece and nephew, after all, we were starting a life together.Things only got better when he realized the kids would be staying with us. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I decided to break the news gradually so I could enjoy more of his facial expressions, and I was taking photos of every moment, even without him noticing.I almost had to sit down from laughing so hard at him climbing the stairs in panic because the kids w

Henry’s POVFinally, our family began saying goodbyes to leave. Hebe and Ed were the last ones to say goodbye and leave, but Enzo and Clara remained seated on the couch."Come on, kids, your parents are leaving," I said with a smile, thinking they were sleepy."We've already said goodbye, Uncle!" Clara replied, looking at me with that grown-up air she had about her.I looked outside, and Hebe turned around to wave one last time before going through the gate. I looked at Sam, who was waving back. I looked again at my niece and nephew, comfortably settled on my new couch. Then I looked back at Sam, who closed the door with a big smile and blew me a kiss as she walked past me."Now, my darlings, I want a foot massage!" Samantha said as she sat between them.Enzo quickly sat down on the carpet, gently took her feet, removed her shoes, and started massaging one of them. Clara snuggled against her arm, and they began making plans for the weekend."Come on, Uncle, come here. I'll massage one
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 108
Henry’s POVThe conversation was flowing cheerfully, and I could see the smiles spread across my mother's and Hebe's faces. They would occasionally glance at me and give a small nod of approval at how things were going. I knew they were happy that I had found Samantha.It couldn't have been better - my mother and Pearl were getting along wonderfully. They chatted like childhood friends and were already discussing how wonderful it would be when Samantha and I had children.Suddenly, the doorbell rang again, and I looked at Samantha with confusion. The whole family was already here - had she invited someone else?"I'll get it, handsome," Sam passed by me, and I gave her a kiss on the cheek."Ah, the whole family gathered. How lovely!" I looked back to see Reynold walking in as if he owned the place."Henry, I couldn't stop him from coming in, and the security guard wasn't at the entrance," Samantha came in behind him, furious."Don't worry, Sam, I'll throw this creature out myself!" I re

Henry’s POVFriday would finally be the dinner where we'd introduce our mothers. Samantha had organized everything, not even letting me handle the invitations. She was happy and excited about it. She went home early, and when I arrived, she was already looking beautiful, all dressed up and directing the table arrangements."My handsome, you're here!" She happily came to greet me with a kiss."Hmm, I think I should start coming home after you just to get welcomed like this." I hugged her and gave her another kiss that left her breathless."Maybe you should." She said, trying to catch her breath after breaking our kiss. "But now go get ready, our families will be here soon."Very reluctantly, I let go of Samantha and went to take a shower. When I returned to the living room, Samantha was contentedly observing the set table, and I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen."Wow, everything looks so beautiful!" I said, admiring the perfect job she had done setting the table.
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 106
Samantha’s POVI had been restless and anxious since Maria, Henry's housekeeper, called me after lunch today. She called to let me know that the store had delivered the furniture. Maria was a lovely woman who knew how to run a household like no other, and she was so sweet and kind that she was like a mother. We got along very well, and we had agreed that she would call me whenever she needed anything and would let me know as soon as the furniture arrived.I was very excited. I left the company feeling very happy, but when I got into Henry's car, I noticed he was very tense. He gave me a kiss and held me in his arms for a moment."My handsome, what's wrong?" I asked, sensing something was off. He looked tired and stressed."It's been a shitty day, Sam. I just want to spend the night holding you." Henry sighed and let go of me, starting the car."What happened, Henry?" I grew even more worried."Reynold." Henry said simply."What is it now?" I persisted.During the drive home, I listened
