Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 73
The weekend had been intense, and I started the week already tired. But I had decided to try to forgive Alexander. The girls had plans; according to them, he needed to suffer a bit more before I took him back, so he would learn his lesson and not hurt me again.I arrived at the office and went to my desk. The place was already bustling with activity. I liked this job - it was easy-going, fun, with a great team, though it wasn't in my field. I had worked so hard in college, and now it seemed my degree would just collect dust. That made me feel a bit melancholic. But I had a son to raise, so I couldn't waste time feeling sorry for myself.While turning on my computer, I saw a coffee mug land on my desk. I looked up to see Virginia's huge smile directed at me."Cat, aren't you ashamed of being so pretty?" I smiled at her comment. "The guys in the department are drooling over you. My brother is also smitten with you, and if I didn't know you were in love with Alexander, I'd totally support

Alexander’s POVPatrick and I ran into Fred as we entered the Lynx World building. We had all had lunch together today, along with Henry and Rick. The girls had been shocked by the flower arrangements we'd sent.At first, I thought it was too over-the-top and didn't want to send them, but Patrick and Henry convinced me with the idea that it was so excessive that the girls would call us to complain, giving us an opportunity to pick them up from work and spend time with them. Rick and Fred liked the idea too, so we went ahead with this extravagant gesture.When Patrick and I reached the girls' floor and approached their desks, I realized just how massive the arrangements really were. They had stacked several books in the corner of their desks to create a sort of pedestal for the arrangements, just so they could see their computer screens.Looking at that scene, it was as if they were working under trees. It was truly enormous. I glanced at Patrick, and we had to stifle our laughter."How

Alexander’s POVHalf an hour later, I was at Patrick's house, furious with myself for letting this company fraud situation go so far that it had affected my relationship with the woman I love, and equally angry about having to leave Catherine for a meeting."Sorry for messing up your plans, Alexander, but we couldn't wait. We need to decide quickly how to act," Alan said while greeting me."It's okay, Alan, I just want this all to end, kick these traitors out of my company, and get my Catherine back," I said wearily. "But what's so urgent?""Well, you already know Leda, right?" Alan asked."Yes, she was placed as a coffee lady along with Mrs. Margaret on the executive floor," I said. "Oh no, don't tell me Mrs. Margaret is involved in this mess?""No, Alexander, fortunately, the other employees with access to the executive floor are highly trustworthy, we've tested them all," Alan reassured me. "But as it happens, Leda and Mrs. Margaret get along very well, and as we suspected, Mrs. Mar

Alexander’s POVMargaret had just started to air the dirty laundry, as they say, and she hadn't even gotten to the worst part yet."I found out a long time ago that Celeste and Johnson are having an affair," she said. When I heard this, my jaw dropped to the floor. "They've been carrying on this indecency for about ten years now. I discovered it by accident one day when I caught them making out in the fire escape. I thought it was horrible, they're both married. But it wasn't my business, it's their private life. Though I always catch them making out or her calling him. They don't know that I know, they've never seen me, and well, I'm just the coffee lady, I'm invisible, right?""Not to me, Margaret, and not to Patrick and Mari either, you know that." I held her hand."Yes, I know, my boy. I changed your diapers!" She smiled. "Catherine and Rick treat me very well too. And your parents were wonderful people, they always showed me respect and consideration, they didn't deserve to die in
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 77
Alexander’s POVI was shocked by everything Mrs. Margaret had already told, but she kept talking, and with each new revelation, I became even more horrified by the things happening right under my nose that I hadn't noticed."You know those detectives you hired to look for a young woman?" she asked, and I nodded. "Well, I got curious because I saw them all whispering with Celeste when they came to see you. The last one, I saw him one day with Johnson and Celeste at that tiny coffee shop near the office. I'm friends with the owner and I always go there. I only heard Johnson saying he was very satisfied with his service, but I had seen you telling Patrick that he hadn't discovered anything and said it was impossible to find the woman, so how could he be satisfied?"My God, Mrs. Margaret was a bombshell! She knew too much and had answers to many questions. This conversation would take hours! I needed some air and to let Catherine know I wouldn't be returning to her house. I asked them to w

Melissa, Virginia, and I went to the mall to meet Tess and Sam, who had told us that the store where she worked had received several beautiful dresses. So we arranged to meet up, check out the dresses, and grab something to eat."Girls! I'm so glad you're here!" Samantha greeted us with a huge smile on her face."Oh girl, I was dying to come here because those dresses they wore on Saturday were absolutely stunning!" Virginia spoke with her usual enthusiasm."Sam, we need some scandalous little dresses to drive our men crazy," Tess chimed in, making us laugh."I've already picked out some amazing pieces and matching shoes," Samantha was all excited."You could share the customers, you know, Samantha," we heard a woman speak from the cash register."No, I can't, Cybele," Samantha replied impatiently. Cybele was the store's cashier, and Sam had caught her ex-boyfriend with her."And we all want to be helped by Samantha, not anyone else," Melissa said with a stern face.We sat down and Sam

We left the store and the guys took us to the restaurant on the third floor. It was indeed very nice and pleasant."Oh my gosh, guys, I don't even know how to thank you! Just with what you bought, I've already hit my monthly target. Thank you!""Don't mention it, Sam. The dresses are wonderful and we love them," Melissa assured her."Actually, Sam, we should be thanking you for making our women look so stunning," Patrick smiled, looking at Virginia."Sam, do you like working at the store?" Alexander asked."I do like it, but it's not what I want to do forever. It's exhausting, not all customers are as amazing as these girls, and the schedule with working weekends and holidays isn't exactly ideal," Samantha replied."Would you like to come work with me?" Alexander said, and we all looked at him in surprise. It would be wonderful for Sam to work at Group Miller."Alexander, thank you, I know you're offering me a job at Henry's request, but I won't accept it. You don't have to do this fav

Alexander’s POVI entered the meeting room and there were too many people there. At the back of the room, several employees were sitting in chairs that had been lined up in rows. I recognized each one of them, including the directors of accounting, sales, operations, and administration. I already knew they were all participating in Johnson's fraud scheme.On the opposite side, in a chair by the table, was the employee we had thought of using to catch the others red-handed. But with the kidnapping of Peter and Catherine, we skipped steps in the audit. He had made a mistake and started flaunting a luxurious lifestyle that clashed with the position he held in the company. He was ambitious, careless, and talked too much. We caught him because of that and knew he was the weak link in the group.In addition to the employees, Alan and Larson were also in the room, along with three employees from Alan's team. The chief inspector was investigating my parents' death, with the head of the anti-fr

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. Lord, protect me."Your dinner," Daniel opened the door, handed me a package, and closed it again.I pressed my ear against the door, I needed to know what they were planning."Dani, I'm finding it strange that I can't reach Cel," I heard Dennis comment."You should ditch that phone," Daniel reproached him."Relax, they can't find this number. We destroyed Catherine's phone, they'll never find it," Dennis seemed relaxed. "How long are we keeping her?""Johnson didn't specify. He said to take care o

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." Fred's mother managed to get everyone in the room laughing, even with all the tension."Mrs. Teresa, you're simply the best. Thank you so much,

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.""

Alexander’s POVWe entered my office and it was chaotic, with people talking and working on computers while Melissa organized all the incoming information. Fred, who I discovered was also a notable hacker, had joined Marcus."Alexander, we managed to access Cat's phone," Marcus informed me. "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
