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.

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

I woke up alone and heard noise coming from the kitchen. I got up and found my two men having an animated conversation about the "new house." Alexander and Peter were sitting having breakfast. Alexander had prepared hot chocolate and a grilled cheese sandwich for Peter, who was smiling and chewing while listening to his dad talk. The table was beautifully set with fruits, juice, yogurt, bread, cold cuts, eggs, and cookies. I leaned against the doorframe and watched them - they were already dressed and showered. Had I slept that long? I didn't even know what time it was."Mommy!" Peter was the first to spot me and sound the alarm."Good morning, sweetie!" I walked towards my little boy and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Good morning to you too." I turned and gave Alexander a quick kiss."Good morning, angel! Come, we made breakfast, right Peter?""Yes, daddy!" Peter was in his morning happiness mode that I never understood where it came from."I didn't want to wake you, you were tire

Alexander sat down with him, and they spent the afternoon playing and watching cartoons.After dinner, Peter was exhausted. He fell asleep in his father's arms, who insisted on putting him to bed. Coming back to the living room, Alexander hugged me on the couch."Angel, we need to talk." Alexander sighed. "There's so much I want to know. But I also have some things to tell you. I don't know where to start.""Start by telling me about New York," I asked, sitting facing him."It was Friday, the day we arrived there. We went to a bar at night, and Liz showed up. I was upset and losing hope that you'd come back to me. You were dating Levy. So I went to Liz's apartment. It was stupid, but it was just that one time." Alexander closed his eyes. "And like you said, I was with her, but I could only think of you.""I won't say I didn't care, because I cared a lot. But I won't fight with

It didn't take long for Lygia to enter, pulling Peter by his little hand. When he saw Alexander, he let go and ran towards him."Alexandaaa!" Peter stretched out his little arms, and Alexander crouched down, picking him up."Peter. My boy." Alexander was crying, overwhelmed with emotion from having his son in his arms. I looked around, and everyone was crying, including me."Alexanda, I missed you. You didn't come to play with me anymore," Peter complained."Oh, my boy, I'm dying of missing you too." Alexander spoke as they hugged each other tightly."Hi, Mommy." Peter turned to me. "Uncle Patrick sent for us.""That's right. And aren't you going to say hi to everyone?" I asked him."Ah, Mommy, I missed Alexanda so much!" He said, resting his little head on Alexander's shoulder, who couldn't stop crying. "Hi, everyone!" Peter waved and looked around, greeting everyone at once. "Why are you crying, Alexanda?""Because I'm so happy to see you," Alexander could barely speak. "Sorry, every

Alexander’s POV"What's going on?" I heard Catherine's voice and went to her. She had woken up because of all the commotion."My angel, I'll tell you later. Fred, please take Cat to the library," I asked Fred, knowing he would protect her."No, I want to know what's happening," Catherine insisted."Oh, so this is the beggar you fell in love with?" Liz started saying. "I heard you got involved with some nobody. But honey, don't fool yourself, because he loves me!""Are you crazy, Liz? Whatever we had ended a long time ago.""I don't think so, Alex. You had me every way possible in New York last week!" Liz taunted."You street trash, I'm going to mess up that cynical face of yours so bad that no surgeon will be able to fix it this time." Melissa went crazy, grabbing Liz by the hair again. The chaos was set."ENOUGH!" We heard Catherine's shout. "Mel, let go of that bitch."Melissa released her and looked at her friend.

"Because I'm going to end Melissa and Fred's reign and become the most doting uncle in the world.""Keep dreaming, Patrick! You might outdo Fred, but me, darling? Impossible!"

Sam rushed into my office and said:"Cat, we need to go. Patrick called and told us to hurry to his house. Something's going on, everyone's there.""This is all so strange! I thought Patrick and Alan were acting weird," I commented."I noticed that too. But let's go, he said it's urgent and the driver is waiting for us in the garage."I grabbed my purse and left with Sam. Dennis was behind us and seemed even tenser than usual. He put us in the car and got in the front seat, which was unusual.When we left the building's parking lot, I looked out the window and saw that woman, Liz, at the building entrance. A chill ran through my entire body. What was happening?When we arrived at Patrick's house, I was shocked. Even the girls were there. Even Mari via video conference.

Alexander’s POVPatrick was acting very strange. He seemed distressed. When we arrived at his house, besides us and Alan, Henry and Fred were also there. How weird."What's going on?" I said, starting to get nervous."Sit down," Patrick said, and I sat. "Remember when we fired Cat, I asked my friend from the police department to investigate her?""Yes. But that doesn't matter anymore," I said, shrugging."No, it wouldn't," Patrick was very nervous. "She really is an incredible person, very correct and honest. But he discovered something." He looked at Fred. "He found out who Peter's father is.""No way? Seriously?" Fred was surprised. "Man, I never spoke to Cat or Mel, but I tried to find this guy when Cat got pregnant and couldn't. Who is it?""Hold on," Patrick said. "Almost at the same time, Alan came to my office with the report about the investigation of the woman you've been looking for all this time, Alexander. He found her."I looked at Patrick, unable to decide if I was happy

Samantha told me it was Dr. Flavian Moreno, and asked to put the call through."Flavian, my friend, how are you?""Hi, Patrick. I'm a bit embarrassed, man, the job you asked for took longer than I expected. The lady is very discreet.""Man, I had completely forgotten about that. In the end, we discovered she w
