Chapter 175

Penulis: Maria Anita
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

    Alexander took me to his office, closed and locked the door, and led me straight to his desk."Our house is very crowded and I can't wait until everyone leaves." Alexander whispered in my ear. "I missed you so much. I've been longing for you, my angel.""I missed you too." I smiled and he captured my mouth in a kiss, enclosing me in his embrace.I was all sensations as Alexander touched me, running his hands all over my body. He sat down and took me with him, making me sit on his lap, which made my skirt ride up to my hips. Facing him, I felt his erection, big and hard, touch my sex, hot and wet. He kissed me, running his hands over me, as if he wanted to touch every inch of my skin.Gradually he began to undress me. Slowly, as if he had all the time in the world, he unbuttoned my blouse, removed it from my shoulders and tossed it away in the room. He slid his hands down my back in circular motions that made me shiver and slid down to the waistband of my skirt, opening the single butto

    Detective Flavian Moreno’s POVWe went to the police station after the raid on the ranch, where Johnson was supposedly at. We didn't find him there. From what we gathered, he and his wife had indeed been there, but they left the place about two hours before we arrived.I was exhausted, but I couldn't stop now. I still had the interrogation of those imbeciles we arrested in Bellwood. After that, I would get on a plane back home. I hadn't had time to talk properly with Patrick, but I would call him as soon as I got some rest. I needed to know who that short woman was that I saw in his office.I sat down in the chair across from Detective Bonfim's desk and he offered me a cup of coffee which I took gratefully. I was tired and a coffee would wake me up a little at least."Bonfim, I found it very strange that Johnson left the place shortly before we arrived. What do you think?" I asked while taking a sip of the hot drink."I don't like it either!" Bonfim said as he sat down with his coffee.

    Alexander’s POVThe night before, I'd received a message from Detective Bonfim informing me that Johnson had not yet been found, that we needed to be on the alert, and that as soon as I could, I should get in touch with him. But I was with Catherine and let it go at that moment. However, this morning, I had already taken some precautionary measures.I asked Daniel to send a team of six men of absolute trust to my apartment, instructed to secure my family. It didn't take long, and the men Daniel sent arrived, and he assured me that he had checked their backgrounds again and made sure of how they were hired.I introduced the security guards to everyone and asked them not to leave with Peter. I asked Catherine not to go out without taking three of the men accompanying her, and she agreed without arguing. I went to the company to solve some things, and there I would meet the guys. When I arrived at the company, I called Detective Bonfim, who answered quickly."Detective, good morning! Sorr

    Alexander’s POVAfter Mari and Alan left, I turned my attention to my friends. I told them about the call with Detective Bonfim and that we would have to look for one more traitor. I mentioned that Alan was coming to work at the company and that Mari was returning to take over as financial director."Ah, finally some good news!" Patrick celebrated. "Man, you and I were drowning here without Mari!""I agree, Patrick, but I needed to honor her agreement with my father," I reminded him."It's good that she can't live without us either!" Rick smiled."Oh, look, Flavian was transferred here. He's going to work with Bonfim," Patrick commented. "If you don't mind, I'd like to invite him to our poker nights.""You don't even need to ask, Patrick. Flavian will be very welcome!" Henry spoke up right away, and we all agreed. "As long as he doesn't hit on Sam. And by the way, you promised to help me if I let Manu and Virginia go.""Relax, Henry, we're going to help you. And I also think Flavian wa

    The day had been long and exhausting, but very fun. My friends were truly very competent. We had already hired everything - decoration, buffet, band, a quartet to sing and play during the ceremony, party favors, guest list, the cake, and of course, the dress. Since I didn't want anything extravagant, it was quick, but it was perfect.We had also scheduled with the notary that Rick gave us the contact for, and we spoke with the priest, who initially didn't want to agree to give the blessing because we hadn't done the pre-marriage course, but Melissa found a way to convince him to meet with us on Friday morning to do a mini-course. So, he ended up agreeing and would give the blessing.Samantha and Manu made a beautiful digital invitation and scheduled it to be sent to all the guests at dinner time, so the parents wouldn't find out ahead of time. They had already arranged that on Friday, the two of them would be in charge of RSVPs.Melissa had already filled up my schedule for Friday. The

    After we said goodbye to everyone, Alexander and I stayed a little longer at the house chatting with Jorge, who was in charge of supervising the buffet's wrap-up. Alexander would take me home, but he received a message from John, an employee from London, urgently requesting a video call."Love, do you mind coming with me to the office for this video call?""Not at all. Let's go, it's still early, not midnight yet, I haven't turned into a pumpkin," I smiled at him."You're Cinderella, you should turn into a maid," he joked."I'm not Cinderella, I'm the carriage, strong and useful," I bantered back and he laughed at me.We arrived at the office and Alexander made the call with John, introducing me to him. John congratulated us on our marriage. After resolving everything, Alexander hung up. I was lying on the couch with my feet up. He came over to me, sat down, and placed my feet on his lap."My feet are sore," I complained."You're pregnant, you need to slow down. And wear lower heels,"

After the morning with the priest and Alexander, we separated and the girls took me to fulfill the agenda, our mothers went with us and the fathers and Peter went with Alexander and his friends. At the end of the day I was exhausted and passed out as soon as I lay down to sleep.It was already my wedding day.

We would get ready at the house that used to belong to my in-laws and would now be my home. So after breakfast, we headed there.Melissa had already converted the office into a beauty salon and soon the professionals arrived with many bags and cases and started getting us ready.

    Alexander's POVAs I walked down the aisle arm in arm with Mari, I noticed that Catherine had thought of every detail for the ceremony. There were wooden and iron garden benches for the guests, and adorning the entrance walkway were immense vases of colorful tulips. At the altar stood a wooden table, and behind it, a portico decorated with white fabric and tulips. When I reached the altar, I looked at the first bench in front of me, empty, and saw photos of my father and mother in silver-framed portraits, with a white tulip in front of each photo. Catherine had thought of a way for me to know they were there with me in that important moment and to represent them so everyone would know it. Mari sat next to the photos, and I was immediately moved.When our friends, now the wedding party, started to enter, I was impressed by the girls' dresses. Each dress had the color of a tulip - purple, red, yellow, orange, and pink - in vibrant shades. They looked beautiful and harmonious. There were

    Samantha’s POVI saw Henry get out of bed, pick up the phone from the floor, and try to speak, but the call had already ended. He came to me and hugged me."Sam, what did you hear?" Henry asked softly."H-he, he laughed." I was trembling and crying."Who, Sam? Do you know who it was?""It was R-Romulus." I looked at him feeling panic tightening my throat."Sam, what did he say?" I noticed the concern in Henry's voice."Nothing. It was like always, the breathing, but then he laughed and I know his laugh. It's Romulus, Henry.""Calm down. I'm going to turn off your phone. Tomorrow I'll tell Flavian about this. Sam, I think we should change your number.""Yeah, you're right, that's better." I agreed, as I didn't want to hear from Romulus anymore."Good, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow. Now, I'm going to put you to bed and make you some tea."Henry tucked me into bed, covered me, and gave me a kiss on the forehead. When he returned to the bedroom, he brought a tray with tea and b

    Samantha’s POV"My goddess, I'm so glad you're here! I've been missing you like crazy," Henry said between kisses."I missed you too!" I nestled into his lap."How was your girls' night?""It was fantastic! We're planning to spend a weekend at Hebe's beach house.""We're going... just you girls or...?""All of us, handsome. I'm not spending the whole weekend away from you.""Hmm, I like that! So, are we getting married this weekend?""It's in a month, Henry.""Alright. But until then, how about we practice for the honeymoon?" Henry traced his nose along my neck. "I'm desperately missing losing myself in you.""Are you reading my mind?" He smiled."Come here, future wife. I'm taking you to bed." He helped me up and looked at Cinnamon. "Buddy, you're staying downstairs tonight." The dog looked at him as if he understood and let out a whimper. The scene made me laugh."I need to take a shower," I said when we reached the bedroom."Ah yes, a shower is an excellent idea."

    Samantha’s POVThe weekend at my grandmother's house was more than perfect. I wasn't expecting Henry to propose, and he made the most beautiful proposal in the world. I confessed I was never the type of woman who dreamed about marriage, wedding dresses, and all those things, but now that I'm engaged, I was excited and eager."Oh my God, I'm engaged!" I said to myself in the closet, looking at the ring and band on my hand."Yes, Nightingale, we're engaged, and I want to set a date for our wedding." Henry hugged me from behind, making me lean back against his chest as he kissed the top of my head.I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed him coming in. He was ready for work, looking handsome in that charcoal suit that made his emerald green eyes stand out even more. I was so distracted that I was still in my robe."My handsome, how about a month from now?""Too far away," he complained, kissing my neck."I don't want to rush into things like what happened with Catherine.

I gave precise instructions - one dog, just one small dog - then I came back from a wonderful trip and got my kids back with two dogs, and Clara's dog was almost as big as her. I felt like sending both the dogs and the kids back to his house.Of course, he had a ready-made speech when I called him furiously questioning the two dogs. The worst part is that he convinced me - he always did, ever since we were kids it was like that, I did everything he wanted. However, my kids were two little troublemakers and I knew it. They were two little rascals who manipulated their uncle however they wanted, and inevitably, I felt manipulated by extension, because after Henry gave in to their wishes, he made me give in to his own desire to please his niece and nephew.I had no choice but to take the little troublemakers back with two dogs.

I invited Luna to come with me since we wouldn't see each other over the weekend, and Ivy tagged along because she wanted to talk to aunt Sam."Ivy, what do you want to talk to aunt Sam about?"

    Samantha’s POVFor the past week, I was woken up every night in the middle of the night by my phone ringing, and when I answered, no one would say anything on the other end. The only thing I could hear was heavy breathing, as if the person on the other end was panting, and it left me distressed.This was getting on my nerves. I was anxious, nervous, and wasn't sleeping well. I already had horrible dark circles under my eyes and was exhausted."Sam... Sam!" Henry's voice snapped me out of my thoughts."Huh?! What is it, honey?" I sighed."Sam, you need to sleep." Henry was visibly upset. "We should change your phone number.""That's not necessary. This will stop." I didn't want to change the number I'd had for so long."Then start turning off your phone at night. If anyone needs to reach you, they can call me.""That's a good idea. I'll do that. But now, I need to get to work." I stood up as I spoke."Stay home today and rest. I'm sure Alexander won't mind.""Henry, I want to go to work
