Chapter 210

Author: Maria Anita
Johnson kept pushing Alexander toward the office while tears fell from my face. As soon as they left the room, the doorknob moved slightly, and Mathias entered, signaling us to stay quiet.

"Ma'am, forgive me," Mathias whispered. "I don't know how he got in, but we'll solve this. Please, go upstairs quietly, without making any noise, and take care of the children. My men will protect you. The police are on their way."

"Alexander! Mathias, he's going to kill Alexander," I was desperate.

"I promise you, ma'am, he won't. But please, I need you all to stay safe. I won't fail again." Mathias helped me stand up.

"It wasn't your fault, Mathias," the nanny, who had been at gunpoint when I entered the room, whispered. "Forgive me, Catherine, but he put the gun to my head when I was leaving home and hid in the back seat of my car. Forgive me, I should have let him kill me!"

"No way! You had no choice. Now let's go upstairs and check on my children. It's almost time for Peter to wake up," I said,

    I was sitting with my head down, holding my husband's hand who hadn't woken up yet, even thirty-six hours after surgery. The doctor had just told me he was stable and all we could do was wait when I felt his hand slightly squeeze mine. I lifted my head and immediately looked at him, seeing that pair of violet eyes light up my world again."Alexander, my love! Finally..." I smiled at him. "I'll get the doctor, don't move and don't touch anything."I went to the nurses' station right across from the ICU bed where my husband was, informed them he had woken up, and hurried back to his side."My love, I was so scared." I said, holding his hand again."So the most visited patient in this hospital has woken up." Dr. Stenio came with a smile and introduced himself. "Alexander, you're in the hospital because you were shot. I'm going to examine you, please do as I say."The doctor performed a basic evaluation of strength, reflexes, and checked the monitors beside him. Finally, he said he would r

    Johnson‘s POVI've been in this hell for a month! How did things go so wrong? I had a perfect plan! I stole millions from that company for years, but when it was time for the final blow, everything fell apart. It was all because of that little woman. Catherine got in my way the night Alexander's parents died. He was supposed to die too, but he was with that clueless girl. Everything started going wrong since that night.I was here, thrown into this filthy, stinking hell. And I couldn't even kill that idiot Alexander. I shot him, and before I could pull the trigger the second time, I got hit in the leg. At the hospital, the doctor explained that the bullet fragmented and destroyed the nerve endings and blood vessels in the area. Reconstruction would be impossible, so they amputated my entire leg, almost at the groin - making it impossible to fit a prosthetic. So I depended on these damn crutches to walk.After they cut off my leg, they transferred me from the hospital to the infirmary o

    Henry’s POVI didn't know what else to do to convince Samantha to forgive me. It had been so long... What was I thinking when I fell into that pest Isabella's trap? But I had to find a way; I couldn’t forget Samantha.I ran into her yesterday at Miller's house. She was even more beautiful! But she didn't give me a chance to talk to her. As soon as I arrived, she left. That was how it had been lately; whenever we meet, she left without even listening to me."Henry, wake up! I'm talking to you!" Melissa snapped her fingers in front of my face."Oh, sorry, Melissa, I was distracted," I said, adjusting my posture in the chair.We were in my office, and Melissa was briefing me about an important meeting that I'd asked her to attend on my behalf the day before. For days, I'd been too scattered and couldn't focus on work."Look, Henry, if you can't handle the game, don't play it. Either you take back control of the company, or I quit," Melissa said, leaning back in the chair across from me."

    I was working from home and really missed the office. But I also didn't want to leave my kids all day yet. In the middle of the afternoon, my husband called me."Hi, mommy!" He said cheerfully, holding his chin with one finger on his face, with that posture I loved."Hi, daddy! Did you miss me?" I teased him."All the time!" Alexander sighed. "My angel, shall we go out for dinner tonight? Just you and me.""Hmm, what an unexpected invitation. What's the occasion?""The fact that I want to spend some time alone with my beautiful wife.""I like that!""Is that a yes?""That's a 'definitely.'" I smiled at the tablet screen."Great!" Alexander flashed a beautiful half-smile. "See you tonight, my angel."Alexander took me to dinner at a beautiful and very pleasant restaurant. When he ordered dessert, he asked the waiter to pack it to go and bring the check as well."Dessert to go, huh?" I teased my husband."It's been a long time since we shared a slice of chocolate cake." He smiled mischie

August and Maite had my black hair and their father's violet-blue eyes. Sienna and Aurora had their father's brown hair and my green eyes. Like Peter, they were healthy and very happy children. Peter was protective of his siblings and especially gentle with his sisters.We decided to have a small celebration at my parents' farm since on Saturday we would be attending the traditional annual masquerade ball in Bellwood.I was packing our bags when Alexander came out of the closet holding a black box and pulled me to sit beside him on the bed."What's that?" I asked curiously."This is a memento from our first night," Alexander said, his eyes gleaming.When Alexander opened the box, he took out the mask he wore at the ball when we met, a white handkerchief, and my torn underwear. I started laughing."I told you

    Henry’s POVI was sitting at the Social Club's bar with my friends Alexander Miller and Patrick Guzman on Thursday night. While we were chatting, I remembered to ask Alexander about the woman I'd recommended to replace Mariana as his assistant."Alexander, did you interview the woman I recommended?" I asked my friend."That's Mari's department, Henry. She's doing a virtual interview with her tomorrow. But from what I know, she's already seen her resume, talked to Aldo Larson, and is quite impressed. I think she'll hire her," Alexander replied in his usual serious manner, without giving me any details."I'm curious. Oliver said she's very competent," I commented."According to Mari, she is," Alexander confirmed."And didn't Mari tell you what she's like? Mari must have at least seen a photo of her, at least on her resume..." I persisted."Henry, my employees' appearance isn't important to me. All I care about is that they perform their jobs well!" Alexander huffed. He seemed uncomfortab

    Henry’s POVWhen I arrived at the office on Friday, Julia, my secretary, came running after me right away. Julia was excellent at her job and happily married, therefore out of my reach. She'd been with me long enough to take certain liberties and kept things strictly professional between us - not that I ever hit on her. Then again, Julia was nearly sixty."Mr. Martin, there's a million pending matters on your desk and all these messages." Julia handed me about twenty messages held together with a paper clip."What time do these people start working, five in the morning?" I said, looking at her, already stressed."Eight, but you're half an hour late, so..." Julia said as she walked out. "Have a great day!"Ever since my last executive assistant, Miss Camila, resigned last week, I'd been swamped. I needed to get my act together - fucking my assistant on the desk after hours hadn't been a good idea. Again!The next day she came in all flirty, and I had to shut it down, saying it would be

    Samantha’s POVHaving worked until closing time yesterday, I was exhausted, even though it was Monday. I needed another job, one with decent hours that wouldn't eat up my weekends. Working at a mall store was draining. I had just graduated with a business degree, but this was my only work experience, so finding another job wasn't proving easy.The commissions were actually great, the store was upscale, and everything was expensive. I was good at sales and had loyal customers, but it had become really hard to keep working here alongside Cybele after I caught her giving my then-boyfriend a blowjob in the back room, and she had the other two salesgirls backing her up, making the atmosphere even more unbearable.It was the most humiliating situation of my life! I had stepped out briefly to grab a quick bite, so I wouldn't have to cook when I got home, since my mom was traveling that week. It was almost closing time, and that jerk sometimes picked me up, but I had always trusted him.When I

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

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?"

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

    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

    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

    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

    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!"

    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.

    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
