Alexander’s POVI sat stunned in that room, watching Catherine run out after kissing me as if she couldn't live without me. I stared at the door in confusion for a moment.It wasn't until Patrick and Henry walked in that I started thinking clearly again. She had kissed me, she had returned my kiss. And I knew her body - she trembled in my arms. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her. I smiled with that certainty and was even more determined not to give up on her."Catherine bolted out of here like lightning, Alexander," Henry commented."She loves me. She's angry, hurt, but she loves me," I said, smiling."Alright, Romeo, but what happened?" Patrick was always so curious."We kissed. And what a kiss it was. I'm sure she loves me. I'll never give up on her," I told my friends.For the rest of the afternoon, I tried calling Catherine. She rejected all my calls until the last time when it went straight to voicemail. But she wasn't going to get rid of me that easily.I left the office

Alexander’s POVWhat a fucking hangover! I hated being hungover, which is why I rarely drank, and certainly not as much as I did last night with the guys. Shit!

But now I wanted to die just to escape this headache.Patrick stumbled into my office supported by Mari. She helped him sit down next to me on the couch, and the office maid, Mrs. Margaret, came in behind them with a tray.

"Miss Mari, I'll go get them some trash cans in case they need to throw up."Mari burst out laughing. Patrick and I looked at each other, acknowledging our defeat."The only reason I'm not firing you, Mrs. Margaret, is because you take care of us and Mari's already leaving." I said, watching Mrs. Marg

Alexander’s POVI entered the ballroom looking for Patrick, but couldn't find him or Rick anywhere. Damn! Everything was spinning! I needed to get out of there. I decided to go to my office and lie down for a while.I started making my way across the ballroom, greeting some people with a nod. Then I felt arms around my waist and a sickeningly sweet perfume. Before I knew it, Anna was dragging me through the ballroom, chatting with people. But I was so dizzy, so drunk again, that I couldn't even break free from her.She pulled me out of the ballroom and started kissing me. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't let go, and I didn't have enough strength to push her away. She called the elevator and pushed me inside."Alex, I can see you're drunk. Let's go to your office, you can rest a bit, have some water, and then we'll go back," she said in that awful screeching voice of hers."Anna, let go of me, I need to find Patrick," I slurred."How about this - you go to your office, and I'll loo

"Good morning, beautiful Cat!" Melissa walked into the kitchen in her pajamas, bubbling with excitement. "And is the most beautiful baby in the world already awake?" she asked, planting a kiss on my son's forehead."I wake up early, godmother," Peter replied with his unique morning enthusiasm."Good morning, Mel. All this joy is because Fred's coming today, right?" I asked, laughing at my friend dancing around the kitchen."Oh, Cat, my sweetheart arrives today, and I'm dying to see him!" She batted her eyelashes dramatically, placing her hands over her heart."Well then, let's have breakfast, get ready, and go prepare his apartment for his arrival," I said, happy for my friend.After breakfast, we walked to the apartment Fred had bought, which was conveniently close to ours.

Samantha approached with a huge smile."How are you guys?" She asked cheerfully. "Catherine, you have to come into the store, we just got a dress that's absolutely perfect for you! Please!""Oh, we're definitely going in, I'm already curious," Melissa said, pulling me into the store.The saleswoman brought the dress in a garment bag. It was an evening dress, bright red, short, with straps, a V-neckline, and a deep back that plunged to the base of the spine. It was sexy, and I was amazed by it."Fitting room now, Catherine," Melissa ordered."Mel, I don't even go out at night. Where would I wear a dress like this?" I asked, trying to resist the dress."Fred's coming back today, and I'm going to tell him to take us dancing next week. Come on." My friend was in boss mode."Since you already have plans, I'll bring you a stunning dress too, Melissa," the saleswoman said excitedly, and Melissa clapped her hands.I went into the fitting room and put on that tiny dress, shocked by how little f

Peter and I were playing with the building blocks he got from Alexander. He had grown very attached to this toy. We were already dressed and waiting for Mel and Fred to arrive so we could meet Mariana at the restaurant."Mommy, is Alexander coming to play with me today?" my son asked while stacking two little blocks."No, sweetie, not today. Today we're having lunch with Aunt Mari because she's going on a trip."I heard the door open and my friends came in laughing. Peter rushed into Fred's arms.

Alexander’s POVPatrick and I took Mari to the airport. I felt a certain melancholy about her departure. This woman was like a mother to me and had been by my side my entire life. I would miss her, which is why I arranged for her to spend one week per month here with us."Alexander, I had lunch with Catherine and Melissa today," Mari said, holding my arm. "Peter sent you a message.""Oh really, Mari? I'm so fond of that kid! What did he want you to tell me?" I said, smiling because my little friend had remembered me."He said he wants you to come play with him," Mari relayed the message, making my smile grow even wider. "Boy, Cat is really hurt, but don't give up on her."I hugged Mari and assured her I wouldn't give up. Mari told us she met Melissa's boyfriend and that he's a good guy, and she told us about the lunch and how my Catherine was doing. I was going crazy missing her.

Alexander’s POVI arrived early at the office today. The audit is going well, and the report I received today already indicated some suspicions.

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 was pacing back and forth in the room when one of the police officers called me, saying the detective searching for Catherine wanted to speak with me. My heart raced in my chest. I swallowed hard and picked up the phone."Good evening, detective." I greeted, waiting for the news."Just a moment, sir. Here, make yourself comfortable." The detective spoke to someone and then left the video frame. At that moment, Catherine's image appeared."My angel! Are you okay?" I asked, in tears. "Everyone, she's been found!" Everyone in the room shouted and applauded."I'm fine, Alexander, I'm sorry, but... my son, have they found my son?" She was crying and scared."My angel, Peter was found in Bellwood. He's doing well and flying here. Nando's parents are coming with him." I could see her expression soften as she heard what I was saying, noticing relief wash over her beautiful face."What a relief! Alexander, what wonderful news." She began to cry and couldn't stop."My angel, ca

I glanced through the window slit and realize it was already dark outside. "My God, how is my son doing?"I spent the entire day praying to God to protect my child. Alexander must hate me now. I simply left without saying anything. But I was desperate for my son. And I didn’t know what to do.After Dennis came in and left that sandwich, I thought they've gone out because everything became very quiet. But then I heard a noise, a door opening. And there were voices. I thought they've returned.

Alexander’s POVI was a bundle of nerves waiting for any news. The police officers at the office had discovered the cell tower location and mapped out a search perimeter. Teams were already on their way."Melissa..." Fred's mother called on the phone."Hi, Mrs. Teresa.""The police arrived with two dogs. They're going in.""Thank God they're here!" I whispered."Teresa, get out of there now.""No way, I'm safe where I am, I'll wait," Fred's mother insisted."Mom, how can you see anything at this time of night?" Fred asked."While I was waiting by the salon door, I had Maria bring me your binoculars. I like them, you better buy another pair because I'm keeping these - they have night vision." Fred's mother was quite a character."Mom, for God's sake, you're not James Bond," Fred put his hand over his face."I'm better than him. Melissa said so."

Caroline’s POVOh my God, what kind of backwater is this! I went to the salon I found in town today, it turned out okay-ish, but they're all such hicks. I needed to get out of this podunk town soon."Celeste, make that snotty brat shut up. You can hear him crying all the way at the entrance," I said while walking into this dump my father had scrounged up for us. "So, what do you think?" I showed off my new look."Yeah, it looks just like Liz's," Celeste agreed. "But you shouldn't have gone!""Ughhhh. That's exactly what I wanted. If my hottie hooked up with that skank in New York, he'll go crazy when he sees me." I was dying to run into Alexander. "Besides, nobody knows me here.""This kid never stops crying. When I first met him, he was much quieter," Celeste said."Oh, just give him some medicine. I've got Xanax in my purse, want some?" I offered."Are you crazy? We can't kill the brat before Alexander does everything we want. Better let him cry, he'll tire himself out eventually.""

"And we got footage from other buildings on the street and now have the license plate of the car that took her.""Finally, some good news." Some of the tension I was feeling dissipated."Not that good - the plate is fake, but at least we have a car and we've issued an alert for models of the same color," one of the police officers warned me."And what about the phone?" I asked, leaning between Fred and Marcus's chairs.Fred grabbed his phone and opened a message, quickly looking at it before tossing it on the desk with a huff. Rick was standing next to me and glanced at the screen."Fred, why did you receive a photo of Celeste?" Rick asked with a puzzled look."Photo of who?" Fred didn't understand

Alan looked worried, as if the news was bad. He introduced the man accompanying him before sitting down."This is Detective Novaes from Internal Affairs. He's in charge of investigating your parents' accident," Alan introduced."Mr. Miller, I regret to inform you that the helicopter accident that claimed your parents' lives was deliberately caused. We found that the disconnection of the tail rotor pedals in the pilot's cabin caused the accident. The connections were intentionally cut. The helicopter had undergone maintenance at the manufacturer and had been cleared for flight just two days before. It was sabotage. I know this is a difficult time, but whoever is orchestrating this kidnapping might also be connected to the helicopter sabotage.""My parents were murdered? My parents were coldly and cruelly murdered?" I could no longer contain my tears and despair."Detective Novaes, we want everyone involved to rot in jail. Whatever you need, we can help," Patrick took over the conversati

Alexander’s POVWhen I left the terrace, I was much more composed. I spent about forty minutes up there thinking and praying to God to watch over my son. When I entered my office, I asked if there was any news, and they said no. Then I decided to spend some time with Catherine and see how she was doing. I went into Patrick's office but didn't see her."Where's Catherine?" I asked loudly."What do you mean? She said she was going to stay with you for a while," Melissa said, frowning."She's not with me, she's not in my office, and she's not at reception. Where is she?" I growled."Calm down, Alexander, she might have gone to the break room," Tess said, and immediately everyone went looking for Cat."Sam, have you seen Cat?" I asked when I returned to reception."Sorry, Alexander, but I haven't. The reception's been crazy," Samantha replied worriedly. "What's wrong?""I can't find her." After I spoke, I saw Tess coming back toward me."The emergency exit door is unlocked.""No, no, no. I

After he left, Mrs. Agnes, Mel's mother, told my mother who Anna Caroline was, and Virginia informed them both about what was going on. It was too much information to process.My phone rang and I quickly answered it. I recognized Dennis's voice on the other end saying:"Don't say anything. If there's anyone near you, leave and only let me know when you're alone."I lowered the phone and started moving away from the room. When I reached the door, Melissa called out to me."Cat, what's wrong?""I'm going to see Alexander, Mel. I want to spend some time with him," I said and left the room.When I reached the corridor between the elevators and the meeting room, I started speaking again."Where's my son?
