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. Mel had spent the week coordinating furniture and appliance deliveries, and we'd planned to come today to put everything in place and do a thorough cleaning.Lygia stayed with Peter in our apartment - I didn't want

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. We chatted for a while there before heading out to meet Mari. On the way, Fred and Peter made plans to go to the mall in the afternoon.We arrived at the restaurant and were shown to our table. Mari arrived shortly after."Finally, I get to meet the perfect boyfriend!" Mari teased, looking at Mel who was smiling like a lovesick puppy."Oh, Mari, my prince is perfect, just look at him." Mel gushed over her boyfriend.We laughed as Fred turned red and stood up politely to introduce himself. We o

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. It has been two days since I've heard anything from her.Mari boarded her flight and Patrick and I left the

Alexander’s POVI arrived early at the office today. The audit is going well, and the report I received today already indicated some suspicions. Of course, it didn’t surprise me that Johnson appeared among the names of potential fraudsters - I've been suspicious of him for a long time.I turned off my laptop and locked it in the safe. I was being very careful with the information I was receiving, so I changed the safe's combination and kept everything there. Before leaving, I would take everything home with me.I spent the rest of the morning taking care of my work. Patrick came to my office asking me to go to lunch. But first, I decided to send a message to my love, so I took my phone and typed:"I fell asleep with the taste of your kiss, dreamed about you all night, and now my heart aches missing you. I love you, Catherine. Forgive me!"I sent the message and put the phone in my pocket, heading to the elevator with Patrick. When we reached the ground floor, just as we passed through

Alexander’s POVAfter talking to Henry, I was thinking about the best way to convince Melissa to help me. Then I remembered her boyfriend. The best way to reach Melissa would be through him. They were Catherine's best friends, and I needed them to trust that I was their friend's happiness.I grabbed my phone and dialed the number Henry had given me. She answered quickly."Hello?""Hi, Melissa. How are you? This is Alexander Miller. Can I talk to you for a minute?"I heard a sigh before she spoke."Alexander. How did you get my number?""I'm a businessman, Melissa. I have ways of getting any information I want.""Too bad you couldn't get the information that Cat never cheated on you before trashing her, huh!"Damn cheeky girl! Henry warned me about this."I bitterly regret that, Melissa.""Yeah, right. So, Alexander, let's be clear with each other? Don't try to sweet-talk me because I know exactly what you want, and the answer is no, I won't help you get Cat's forgiveness.""I know," I

Alexander’s POVI was anxious. After dinner, Melissa told me to keep making my presence known by sending small gifts and messages, and calling persistently. She said this way Catherine would notice that I was paying attention to her.She also assured me that she would find a way for me to meet Catherine and would give me tips on how to earn my beloved's forgiveness.I had another tulip arrangement delivered to Catherine's house. Melissa told me she loved the flowers and their meaning, so I should send an arrangement every week.I decided to send good morning and good night messages every day, as well as afternoon snacks for both of them at the company. Melissa informed me that Catherine had made a friend in her department, so I started sending something for that girl too - one more person to intercede for me.I began sending messages at different times of the day and called her three times every day. Since she never answered, I would leave three voicemails, always saying how sorry I wa

Henry’s POVWe returned from the beach house late Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, everyone had recovered well, and that nightmare was behind us. However, the days ahead promised to be quite turbulent. To make my mood worse, Sam postponed the wedding without discussion, though I understood her reasons.We had barely arrived when Flavian called with news that would shake Sam. Romulus had been released from jail. This stressed me out even more. They still hadn't identified who bought the chocolates or from which store, as the delivery person wasn't a store employee. They would have to review all security footage provided by the chocolate brand's stores, which would take time. And if that wasn't enough, Reynold still hadn't been found."Damn, Flavian, don't you have any good news for me?" I asked."Actually, I do. As I mentioned, I placed two undercover officers on standby at the prison. When Romulus left, they followed him and are now staking him out. So we know where he is and who his acc

Romulus’s POVFinally, that cheap excuse of a lawyer managed to get me out. I was released from prison earlier than expected, thanks to a lucky move by that good-for-nothing. Now I had all the energy to go through Sandro's accounts and finish off little Samantha.Nicole picked me up, and Sandro told me to rest for a week before he'd send instructions for me to take my position. So, Nicole took me to her apartment. I only went to my mother's house to get my things - I couldn't care less about that worthless family of mine.But I got a surprise when I arrived at Nicole's apartment; she had a guest, and it was the father of that rich boy who was screwing my Samantha. I came to the conclusion that all families are crap, especially since the old man hated his kids. But I'd learn more about that after I'd taken a shower and spent the whole night with Nicole. And that's exactly what I did."So, old timer, what's your deal with the rich kid?" I asked, sitting next to the old man the next day.

Samantha’s POVI listed everyone to him, and he became alarmed. He asked me to gather everyone in the living room. I ran out again. I found my mother feeling sick in her bedroom and asked Joaquin to take her to the living room. I also found Hebe and Heidi together and shouted for Henry and the guys to come help me with them as they seemed weaker. And I found Patrick throwing up in the bathroom."We need to go to the hospital now. They've been poisoned," Alvaro said, visibly worried. "Come on, let's get them into two cars. I'll go in one and Vince in the other, so we can monitor them. Joaquin, you drive one and Alexander the other. Sam, you stay with the kids, it's not good in your condition to go to the hospital in this chaos. Enzo, keep an eye on her, get her some tea to calm down, and if she stays nervous, call me."Alvaro gave orders like a true commander. He quickly organized everything, and they left for the hospital. They would give me updates, but I couldn't stop crying. Enzo, C

Samantha’s POVAfter all the stress from Enzo's birthday party, Hebe insisted we should go to her beach house the following weekend. She wanted to get excited about the wedding preparations right away, and she was genuinely thrilled about it.That weekend, off we went - friends, family, and dogs included. I invited Ivy and Luna, thinking it would be good for both of them to take their minds off things. Their parents were happy to see them so cheerful after Ivy's difficult week. Her mother told me she had been having nightmares and becoming very anxious.Henry, to my surprise, was very excited about the beach wedding. He kept talking about how beautiful Hebe's house was, but I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Hebe really had a taste for luxury and enormous houses. I'd say it was more of a beachfront mansion.The house was two stories high, built in an L-shape, with numerous glass walls - another thing Hebe loved because it allowed natural light to flood in. It also had a large infinity p

Henry’s POVThe situation with Reynold had gone completely out of control. He went too far by trying to assault the girl at his own grandson's birthday party. That was the last straw for Edward. Edward was furious and rightfully so, just like my nephew. As for my sister, she was deeply shaken that this had happened in her home, and the next day she called the landscaper to demolish the hidden garden and rebuild it completely open.The day after the party, we visited Ivy's family, trying to apologize for all of Reynold's mess. Fortunately, they were a very upstanding family with exceptional kindness. They were very grateful to Sam and Vince for looking for and taking care of Ivy, preventing the worst from happening.Ivy was very brave and filed a detailed police report, and Edward handed over the security camera footage. Luckily, Ivy's father was a judge's brother and knew the judge handling the case against Reynold. Given this and all the evidence we gathered, including the attack on S

Samantha’s POVGradually, Ivy began to calm down, embraced by Vince who hadn't let go of her since we found her. It was clear that Vince was more than upset about what had happened to her."Ivy, how are you? Do you want to talk about what happened?" Vince asked gently, since Ivy had stopped crying."Vince, I went to the bathroom, and when I came out, Enzo's grandfather cornered me," Ivy began. "Enzo had already warned my sister and me to stay away from him, saying he was a bad person. But he grabbed me by force, covered my mouth, and dragged me out through the back. I couldn't break free.""That criminal! We won't let this slide!" I said, filled with anger."Here, sweetheart, drink this tea. It'll make you feel better." Vince took the teacup and offered it to Ivy, but she was shaking badly and wouldn't let go of her torn dress, which would expose her chest if she released it. I went to her and held the dress so she could take the cup."Thank you! Both of you. The security guard told me
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 137
Samantha’s POV"I don't like this, Vince," I commented, looking around and seeing no sign of Ivy. "Why would Ivy leave the party? This feels really weird to me.""I don't get it either, Sam, but I don't want to alarm anyone. It shouldn't be this hard to find a woman wearing lime green," Vince remarked."Let's check around the area, maybe she just stepped out for some fresh air," I suggested, though I wasn't very convinced. Like Vince, I didn't want to cause unnecessary panic."I hope that's all it is," Vince seemed very worried and even distressed."What's wrong, Vince?" I asked, concerned about his behavior."I don't know, Sam..." He put his hand on the back of his neck. "Do you think she's running away from me?""And why would she run away from you?" I found that strange."Why wouldn't she? Maybe I scare women away. My ex-fiancée broke up with me a month before our wedding." Vince was afraid of being rejected again. That witch really did a number on his heart."Vincent, should I call

Samantha’s POVThe rest of the week flew by so quickly that I forgot to tell Henry that Nicole had been at the office. That day, Henry and I went shopping for Enzo's birthday present - his birthday party was on Saturday, and he'd been ecstatic all week, calling me multiple times to talk about the party preparations, which I found quite amusing.Saturday came quickly, and I was feeling pretty relaxed, especially since changing my phone number had stopped the calls, and I was sleeping much better after that."Nightingale, are you ready?" Henry walked into the closet and picked up one of his watches, putting it on his wrist."Almost, handsome," I replied while finishing my makeup."Enzo won't stop calling me. What an anxious kid!""He's excited about this party." I found it funny because Enzo had been talking about nothing else for days."He gets excited about any party," Henry laughed. "I'll wait for you in the living room."I finished my makeup, put on my dress, and looked in the mirror

Samantha’s POVAfter having coffee with Manu, I went back to work and ended up being surprised. I wasn't expecting the visit I received at the company late that day. I was finishing up a report when my phone rang on my desk - it was the receptionist informing me that someone in the building lobby was insisting on speaking with me.I found myself wondering what I had done to deserve so many pests in my life. It would be better to get rid of this one right away, before it turned into a weed that keeps sprouting in the yard no matter how many times you pull it out. I told the receptionist I'd go down to meet my visitor, but that she wasn't authorized to enter the building. And that was what I did.I arrived at the lobby and saw the woman sitting in one of the armchairs in a corner away from the reception desk. She was one of those women who you can tell from a mile away was nothing but an opportunistic gold digger. She was wearing a white dress made of thin fabric that was slightly see-th
