Chapter 215

Author: Maria Anita
Next Sunday, we would celebrate our quadruplets' first birthday - our fantastic four. They were growing up healthy and strong. They looked like a perfect blend of Alexander and me. 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.

    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

    Henry’s POVMy Monday was turning into purgatory. I needed an assistant like yesterday! Of course, being hungover wasn't helping much. And getting minimal sleep was terrible too. Maybe I should quit this bohemian lifestyle. I laughed to myself at that thought.But I would be interviewing Melissa Larson later, and it was practically certain I would hire her. I had already checked with some contacts, and they all assured me she was a very competent professional.Julia came into my office with several papers for me to sign. While passing them to me, she decided to make small talk."I talked to Mariana today. She told me she finally hired a new assistant for Mr. Miller.""Ah, yes. The lady Larson recommended. She seems very competent," I commented casually while signing papers."Yeah, that's what Mariana said. But I don't think she'll last there," Julia caught my attention with this comment, and I looked up at her."And why not, Julia?""Because Mariana told me she's gorgeous. Gorgeous lik

    Henry’s POVI figured the most practical thing would be to go to the mall, where I could find everything I needed. I went to the religious goods store first - it would be quick, and I didn't want to be that heretic carrying adult toys into a religious store. When I entered, there was only one employee chatting with a young woman. I approached them while texting Hanna to let her know I was buying her a little present.I was straightforward with the saleswoman. I didn't want to waste time. She could continue gossiping with the other woman later. But the woman decided to play smart with me, and we started arguing about who the saleswoman should help first. She was irritating.I was already impatient when I looked up from my phone screen. But when I saw the woman in front of me, I had to exercise serious self-control not to ask for her number. She was stunningly beautiful. A breathtaking brunette with a toned, sensual body. Her lips were amazing, like a small, juicy apple that made me want

    Henry’s POVI arrived at the office feeling excited, thinking today would be fun since my assistant would be starting, finally relieving me of my workload. Plus, there was the gossip about Alexander and his assistant, and I had plans to see Hanna tonight. Everything seemed perfect.When the elevator doors opened on the top floor of my building where my office was located, I found Melissa sitting there with her arms and legs crossed, tapping her foot and huffing. I had barely stepped out when she came straight at me."Is this what you call arrival time, Henry? Your desk is a mess, and you have piles of pending work. This place has zero management! If you're planning on going bankrupt, let me know now so I won't waste my time starting here." Melissa rattled off without taking a breath, and I just wanted to run and hide from her."I really like her!" Julia called out from her desk with a huge grin, clearly enjoying my suffering.Melissa was already showing who was boss, riding me like a h

    Samantha’s POV"Oh Mom, I'm so upset that I can't go with you to grandma's birthday," I said to my mother while we were having lunch at the mall."I know, honey. But she'll love your gift, and you need to work. Responsibilities always come first, Samantha," my mother replied.My mother was a very strong woman. She raised me by herself. My father never wanted to take responsibility. He would show up occasionally saying he wanted to see me, but it was more to antagonize my mother. So after I turned eighteen, I pushed him away. I didn't need a father who only appeared when it was convenient for him to cause trouble with my mother. It was very clear to me that he had no interest in his daughter."How long will you stay there?" I asked."A week. I took some days off and I'm going to make the most of it. I also enjoy being mothered," she smiled, and I smiled back."Will you be okay?""Yes, Mom, I will.""Now tell me what's new? How are things at the store?" My mother and I talked about every

    Henry’s POVWe had lunch with my mother and Julia on Tuesday, after the confusion with the mixed-up gifts, and they drove me crazy about it."Mom, I have one more thing for you." I took out the card that beautiful stranger had left at the mall store from my jacket pocket and handed it to my mother."What's this?" My mother asked.I told the story, and the three women in front of me laughed like children and made fun of me. My mother read the card and passed it to Melissa and Julia. Wiping a tear from the corner of her eye from laughing so hard, she said,"Henry Martin, I'm a good mother and I raised you right! Your behavior at the store is unacceptable. I recommend you go back there and apologize to the saleswoman, and if you ever meet that young lady again, you apologize to her too.""Mom, I'm not going back to the store to apologize," I replied."Oh yes, you are! You're better than this, Henry. And you're going back to apologize because I didn't raise an arrogant and presumptuous man

    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

    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

    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
