Chapter 89

Penulis: Maria Anita
"Let the games begin!" Virginia declared.

The first round started. Cards were being dealt, and soon Fred busted and was out. Levy also went over, which made Alexander very pleased. At the end of the first round, Angel won with twenty points, and Fred groaned uncomfortably in his chair.

"Well, Fred, I'm sorry, but I won't waste my opportunity," Angel said, turning to Mel who smiled deviously. "Someone keep time."

Angel ran his fingers across Mel's cheek, then moved his hand to the nape of her neck, pulling her in for a tender kiss on her lips.

"Time's up. Twenty seconds," Patrick Guzman called out hastily.

Angel pulled away from Melissa with a charming smile, while she had the most dazed expression on her face. Fred's expression was beyond mere discomfort. Melissa smiled at Angel and then turned to Fred.

"See, prince, that didn't hurt," Melissa winked at her boyfriend.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. But Alexander whispered in my ear:

"There's no way another guy is going to kiss you."

    As we entered his apartment, Alexander stopped behind me, held my waist with one hand, and with the other, pulled my hair to one side while kissing me exactly where Levy had kissed me earlier."No one, absolutely no one but me will ever put their hands or mouth on you again, Catherine. You're mine, only mine. You might be upset, hurt, or angry, but you're mine. And I'm going to kiss every inch of skin on your delicious little body today so you'll remember that and erase any damn sensation that idiot Levy might have caused.""And you, Alexander? Are you only mine too?" I asked angrily. "Or will you keep sleeping with any whore who shows up when I'm not around?""I'm all yours, my love. I don't remember anything from Mari's party night. But we're not going to talk about that now because right now I'm going to kiss you and make love to you and make up for all the time we've missed. And I'm going to engrave in every cell of your body that you're mine and that I love you."And that's exactl

    When we arrived at Patrick's house, the girls were already there and came running to take Peter from Alexander's arms, who got a bit grumpy while talking to them."Easy there, you crazy girls! Be careful with my little buddy!""Finally, I get to meet Peter!" Rick commented, approaching with a smile.My son was surrounded by my friends who made him laugh and let out little squeals from the tickles he was getting on his tiny belly, making me smile too! Suddenly he looked at Alexander."Alexanda, pool!" He said with his bright violet eyes."Let's put on the floaties and sunscreen first, Peter," I said to him as he was already stretching his little arms toward Alexander."Leave it to me, Cat. I'll take care of our boy today, have fun and relax," Alexander said, giving me a huge smile.He looked even more handsome under the sun, with his messy hair, sunglasses, white shirt, and short. He wore flip-flops, and even his feet were beautiful. He took Peter's bag from my hands and busied himself

    Another week started and flew by. Alexander really didn't keep his distance - he kept sending messages, flowers, and afternoon snacks. What changed was that he called me every night and we'd chat for a while. He told me that after everything Margaret revealed, the audit was moving faster, and they were working for a few hours every night at Patrick's house. But he hadn't told me what Margaret said, only that she knew a lot but never thought it was important.Melissa established Tuesday as girls' night, so we went to the Social Club again and had dinner there. We always had plenty to talk about, and fun was guaranteed with that group. Samantha had started working with Alexander and was really enjoying the job, although she couldn't stand Celeste, so she had lots to tell us."Seriously, Cat, it's written 'lying, fake, gossiping troublemaker' on Celeste's forehead - how did you not see it?" Samantha asked."Cat always sees the best in people, Sam. I got tired of warning her about that cou

    On Friday, Melissa, Peter, and I caught a flight to Bellwood. When we arrived, Melissa's family driver was already waiting for us and drove me to my parents' farm, where they were expecting us. I said goodbye to my friend, and we agreed that she would come to see us the next day."Sweetie!" My mother came running to hug me, already in tears."Mom, I missed you so much!""And where's grandma's baby? Come here, my little darling!" My mother took Peter from my arms, and I took the opportunity to hug my father."My daughter, it's so wonderful to have you both home!""Thanks, Dad. It's really good to be here.""Let's go inside, it's already dark. Tomorrow you can explore the farm." My father was clearly excited about the farm.We went inside, and my mother already had dinner on the table. We sat down and had the meal together. How I missed being with them. Peter fell asleep in grandma's arms, who put him to bed and then joined my father and me in the living room."So, Catherine, how's life

    The next morning, we woke up early. The aroma of coffee my mom was brewing in the kitchen filled every room in the house. Peter was euphoric, and my dad took him to the small barn to milk the cow. When they returned, my son had a tiny milk mustache and a blue enamel mug in his hand.We sat down and had breakfast while listening to the birds singing. The house was very spacious and comfortable. It had huge windows, and the fresh morning air flowed through them along with the sunlight.We went out for a walk, and the property was a good size. It was enough for a diverse orchard, a vegetable garden with all kinds of produce and greens, a barn with one cow, a pigpen with two pigs, and a chicken coop with many hens. Peter had fun collecting eggs with my mom.In front of the house, there was a garden full of colorful flowers and a small pond where a family of ducks was playing in the water. The house was flanked by a colonial-style porch, with hammocks hanging in each corner and wooden bench

    We finished shopping and returned. Melissa helped me with the bags and we entered the house calling for my parents. We were putting the bags on the counter when Peter came running out and I heard him shout:"Alexander! You came!""Of course I came, little buddy, I was missing you so much!" I heard Alexander's voice and my knees went weak.When I turned around, the two were in a tight hug, my mom with a huge smile, my dad with a surprised look, and Melissa standing open-mouthed watching Fred walk towards her."What does this mean, Fred?" She asked seriously without hugging her boyfriend."We couldn't stand being away from our girls. And especially from Peter." Fred answered naturally."But I didn't tell you where I was going?" Melissa was angry with her boyfriend."You and Catherine going away for the weekend together? There's only one place in the world where you two would go, Mel!" Fred said smugly.I couldn't speak. I was too shocked. My parents invited everyone to sit around the tab

    After they left, I put my son to bed and went back to the living room to chat with my parents."Why didn't you tell us you had problems there, honey?" my father asked right away."Because I didn't want to worry you, and because I have a friend who's my guardian angel who helped me find another job just as good," I answered honestly."Alexander said you're now working for his friend, but that you'll go back to working with him," my father said."I haven't decided yet. We'll see," I replied."Cat, we just want you to be happy. I like this young man, he has good intentions, he's serious and responsible. He came here and was honest, owned up to his mistakes. He seems like a good man, and the way you look at him, you're in love," my father hadn't missed a thing."Yes, Dad. He is a great man and I am in love," I confirmed."Then don't get hung up on silly things," my mother said. "Forgiveness is good for you, understand that. Pride won't get you anywhere. Don't forget that.""I won't forget,

    I waited for the guys at the gate and got into the car before Alexander could get out to help me."What's wrong, angel?" Alexander asked after Fred drove off."My mother's sister made an unpleasant appearance. But I'll tell you later, I don't want to stress about it now. Good morning to you both." I forced a smile.Peter chatted the entire way, even telling Alexander how he stuck his tongue out at the "witch," which made everyone laugh.At Melissa's house, we were warmly welcomed. Her parents were crazy about Peter and kept insisting they wanted another grandchild, but Melissa wasn't interested in that yet.After lunch, Mr. Larson called Alexander and Fred to his office to discuss business. Melissa and I did the same thing with her mother that we did with mine, filling her in on all the details of our life in Paradise Port.When we said goodbye, Melissa left home with her suitcase ready since our flight was that evening.

    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

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S2-Chapter 113

    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.

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S2-Chapter 106

    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
