The CEO's Secret 40
Without being able to avoid it, she turned her face towards him, put a hand on the back of his neck and pulled him to her. She kissed him eagerly and to make him understand what she wanted.He pulled away, surprised.He could see that in Katia's eyes there was fire and seeing how she was biting her lip, made his desire begin to appear.They kissed again.He responded to the kiss with frenzy and desire. He lifted her from the lounger and placed her back against the cool marble column of the porch of the second dwelling. She wrapped her legs around his waist to feel him close without breaking the kiss.They could delay it no longer. Desire was latent in the air.They broke apart, but did not take their eyes off each other. Their breathing was ragged and they had only just begun."If you want to see me like in my room, you're taking too long," she told him, breathing heavily and bringing her chest close to his."Are you sure you want to sleep with me?""I swear, if you don't start now, y

Katia reached out to him and took his hand. This gesture made him look at her in surprise, but he eventually smiled at her.Then she said:"You should know me by now. I'm very stubborn."The problem is, we're both very stubborn," he said with a smile."Maybe…" she let go of his hand and sat up straight in her seat.Stefan gazed at the young woman who was sitting a few inches away from him. He noticed that she wasn't wearing anything around her neck, ears, or wrists.He closed his eyes, smiled, and then leaned forward slightly. He pulled out a square blue box and then two smaller ones. He wasn't sure if she would accept to wear them, but he had to try.He leaned back in the car seat."Katia," he called.She looked at him with a smile but had a puzzled expression when she saw the three boxes."What 's this?""This is for you, to complete your outfit. I would have liked to give it to you before we left, but... I forgot," he replied.Katia took the boxes and opened them.In one box, there

Gretchen took her glass and drank.The other guests could sense the tension between her and Katia. Throughout the evening, they engaged in conversation, but the exchanges between the two women were also present.The rest of the diners pretended not to notice the situation. It was better that way.Stefan looked at the woman beside him with a smile. He didn't know this side of Katia, but he certainly loved that she stood up to her ex-girlfriend's attacks.Katia's character was undoubtedly surprising to the German, and he had to be careful if they ever argued.The time came when the men and some women started having drinks. Katia sat in her seat, listening as Mrs. Heinz, Kruger, and Friedman discussed topics that didn't interest the young American.When she saw that these people weren't paying attention to her, she got up from the table and carefully walked to the bathroom. It hurt a lot, but she didn't want to disturb Stefan while he was talking with the other men.She leaned on the bat

Katia breathed slowly and looked sideways, without turning her head to look at him.Stefan, when he finished what she had asked him to do, stroked her back with his fingertips, making her skin crawl.She shrugged her shoulders at the feel of him.He got up from the bed, but not before kissing her neck. Katia put her hands on her chest to hold the dress and turned to face him.She couldn't hold it any longer. She needed to know the truth."Stefan..." she called out to him."Is something wrong? Don't you want me to leave or something?" he joked, laughing as he turned around."It's just that I want to ask you something," she said, avoiding eye contact."Tell me," he turned slightly to look at her."Why did you marry me?"Stefan looked at her in surprise, not expecting that question and not knowing how to answer it. He clenched his fists inside his pockets.Without warning, he began to approach her, sat down beside her, and placed a hand on her leg. Katia looked into his eyes, waiting for

Her body had frozen in the bathroom doorway due to Jennel's scream.Despite being concerned about Stefan, she was sure he was okay... or at least she wanted to believe so. She hoped the woman had screamed for another reason, and the gunshots she had heard had been a product of her mind or the television.She needed to stop watching Narcos on TV, especially at night, as it seemed to be affecting her quite a bit.When she realized she could move again, she entered the bathroom.While showering, being careful not to slip on the plastic bag she had put on her foot to keep the bandage dry, she couldn't stop thinking about that shrill sound that had fully awakened her.Once showered and dressed, Katia decided to go downstairs for breakfast, but first, she stopped by Stefan's room. She was puzzled to see one of the closet doors open and the clothes on that side missing.As she reached the stairs, her body stopped.Jennel, with Norbert's help, was cleaning up a puddle of blood in the living r

Katia got out of the car when they arrived at the bookstore. A small smile graced her lips as she entered the shop, accompanied by Jennel. After about ten minutes, both women came out of the bookstore with some books in their arms.Katia seemed happy as she chatted with the woman, until her ears caught a whimper. She turned her head from side to side, searching for the source of the cry, and then turned to look at an alley next to the bookstore.She stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked around without seeing anything unusual. Suddenly, she heard the cries again, and her gaze went to two cardboard boxes placed together on the ground against the wall.She approached them curiously and let out an "oh..." when she saw that one of the boxes contained a kitten, and the other held a puppy. She crouched down slowly, being careful not to hurt her ankle, and squatted."Katia," Jennel called, standing behind her."Look, Jennel. Aren't they precious?" She began to touch the noses of bot

"I warned you at the party. No one, absolutely no one, takes Stefan away from me," Gretchen said, furrowing her brow. "And know this: I'll do whatever it takes to get him back because I won't allow a whore like you to be with him. You're not worthy of Stefan.""Oh... and are you worthy?" Katia replied sarcastically.Gretchen slapped Katia forcefully."Say whatever you want, but Stefan is mine," she said with malice reflected in her eyes."Get out... NOW!" Katia shouted in frustration."Yes, I'm leaving, but not because you tell me to, but because I have things to do... like planning how to make Stefan leave you," she smiled half-heartedly. "See you soon, Jennel," she smiled at the middle-aged woman."See you soon, Miss Gretchen," the woman replied, nervously looking at both women.Gretchen smirked sarcastically at Katia before turning and leaving through the front door of the house.How was it possible that this woman could so easily get under her skin? Why did she get so angry when G

Katia looked at Stefan in astonishment at that question and shook her head. Something inside her shrank at the thought of Oscar.She watched as Stefan walked away while placing a hand on her heart. Lately, her mind had been occupied with thoughts of the German, and it was starting to worry her.She closed her eyes and sat on the edge of the bed with her hand on her chest, her mind still fixated on the mulatto man, and her heart ached.At that moment, she realized that he hadn't called her for several days, and that worried her.Unable to help it, she started crying with her hands covering her face. She began to cry silently so that no one in the house would hear her. She didn't want to worry anyone, especially Stefan, who had nothing to do with her.The next morning, she hadn't managed to sleep at all. She got out of bed with swollen, red eyes. In the end, she had spent the whole night crying without knowing why.Her head also hurt.When she checked the time on her phone, she saw that

"Madeleine, welcome to our family," she said to her son's wife and then walked away to sit next to her wife.Katia swallowed hard, butterflies in her stomach were fluttering with force.Stefan and Richard Jr. had positioned themselves on either side, forming an intimate circle with them just before the ceremony began."Katia, tell him before the ceremony starts," Madeleine urged her friend, whispering in her ear.There was anticipation, but also uncertainty pulsing in her words.Katia nodded, gripping Madeleine's arm in silent support. The Judge, an elderly man with a warm smile, was adjusting his papers at the front, getting ready to commence the ceremony.It was the right moment to share the news."What to say?" Stefan asked in a whisper, looking at Katia.Katia swallowed hard again before letting the words out."I'm pregnant, Stefan... and it's twins," she told him in a hushed voice, her eyes meeting Stefan's, filled with excitement and expectation.Stefan was left speechless, for

Hilbert helped his friend by taking his arm to help him stand, and then everyone congratulated the couple.At that moment, Madeleine and Katia decided to get married on the same day and... in Lourmarin.For each of them, that place held a different meaning, but they both agreed it was a beautiful location for a double wedding.Joanne and Stefanie Elein were overjoyed. Their parents were getting married, and they would become one united family. Richard, the father, looked at his eldest son and his youngest daughter, and seeing them happy, he was happy too.For some reason, he looked at the lawyer and smiled half-heartedly."I should start having more conversations with that man, as he's the one my daughter Elyse has chosen," he thought. He looked around the room, and taking advantage of his wife's proximity to their children, he approached Hilbert and said,"I think I'll need a lawyer to help me with my will. Can I count on you?""Of course, sir," Hilbert replied, somewhat surprised, a

A group of men gathered behind the young brunette, but the leader of the group took Katia as a hostage, pointing a gun at her. Müller, despite having something against Stefan, had nothing against the woman who looked at him with fear, feeling the gun against her temple. Katia began to silently cry, looking at the inspector for help.The police were in a dilemma. They couldn't shoot without harming Katia. Both the gang and the law enforcement group had their weapons aimed at each other, with the young brunette caught in the middle."Stefan... help me..." Katia silently wished, her eyes closed as tears streamed down her cheeks.She was so focused on seeking help from the man she loved that she didn't realize someone was speaking behind her. Suddenly, she felt the man shifting, and as she turned around, she was surprised and relieved to see Mark.The man nodded for her to run towards the group of men behind those traffickers. The other Richter family's hitmen surrounded Katia to "hide"

Once they had landed at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport, Stefan's chauffeur Frederick picked them up to drive them to the brown man's house, but Katia refused.She wanted to go straight to the hospital to see Stefan.After arriving at the private hospital, they went to the room where Stefan was resting. When they opened the door they found Federica sitting next to him and Jürgen, who was leaning against the wall. The dark-haired man looked at him in surprise, as he didn't know how the woman had found out. Katia walked over to the bed and stood next to her ex-husband. She caressed his face, holding back her tears, and kissed him.Federica approached her husband and smiled at him after hugging him. Hilbert began to ask what had really happened and Jürgen told him. Katia listened to them sitting on the edge of the bed.Suddenly the door opened, ushering in the police, but the one who caught everyone's attention was a tall, slender man, although at first glance it could be seen that

The sound of the cell phone she had in her left hand since she sat down to eat made her snap out of her world, fixed on a single point.She didn't have the number saved, but upon seeing the number it began with, she knew it wasn't from there."Hello?" Katia answered and took a sip of champagne."Katia, it 's Federica. Happy New Year," she heard on the other end of the line, but it was clear that Federica was sad about something."Happy New Year to you too, Federica. Is... your brother around?""Katia... I don't know how to tell you this, but...""Federica... don't scare me. What's going on?" This made everyone look at her. "What's happening?""Do you remember that my brother and Jürgen were trying to stop the mafia war?""Of course, I remember. That's why he went back to Germany. Has something happened to him?" she asked with fear. Madeleine approached her sister-in-law and put her hands on her arms. "Please, Federica. Tell me what's going on.""My brother was shot in the chest. He's

She had finished showering and the only thing around her body was a towel that reached a few inches below her butt. Took off the towel that surrounded her hair and dried it with that cloth while she looked at herself in the mirror.She stood still as she thought of Stefan. Since he had left she had been using the masturbator she had before she met him, and while she was showering, she had been touching herself thinking about him.Katia needed him to touch her the way he only knew how to touch her and feel his kisses around her body, her neck and kiss her lips.She shook her head not to think about him and not to tempt desire again.She took off her towel and then put on a black strapless set and a colutte also in black and combed her hair a little to get rid of the knots that had come out after wetting her hair.Then she came out of the bathroom and stared at the dress on the bed."Why did you have to choose pink, knowing that I don't like that color?," she said with her hands on her

That night, after putting her daughters to bed, Katia returned to the living room and poured herself a glass of red wine. Ever since she had broken up with Stefan, she did this every night when she felt down.She left the bottle on the coffee table in front of the couch.Katia took the glass of wine and took a small sip while she thought about what Zelig or Stefan had told her. Although to her, he would always be Stefan, as that's the name she had known him by.Did either of them really have the blame?She, barefoot with the glass in her hand, walked across the floor to the entrance and approached a small bookshelf in that area. She sat on the floor, leaving the glass by her side, and opened the door of the piece of furniture, starting to search inside.After a few minutes, she pulled out a frame. She sat on the floor, staring at the photo, and took a sip of wine."You have no idea how much I wish I could talk to you, Oscar... Why did you have to die?" Katia thought, without moving fr

Federica and Katia went up to the top floor where the cafeteria was located. They sat at a table near the large window, and the brunette waitress brought two soft drinks, one for each of them.Unable to help it, Katia felt uncomfortable, but she didn't want to tell the woman sitting across from her. The babbling of the triplets caught her attention.They were three beautiful children, just like their parents, and they were utterly adorable with their chubby cheeks. Judging by their age, the babies couldn't be more than a year and a half old.Not knowing what to say, Katia took a sip of her drink and sighed."My brother told me that Joanne looks a lot like you," Federica commented, making her companion look at her. "Listen, Katia. It's true that my brother is... a mafioso," she said in a hushed voice so no one could hear. "But there's something I'm sure of: he loves you and misses both of you. Over these five years, he's delayed his visit to the Seattle Delegation because of your rejec

Suddenly he saw his daughter suddenly stand up and run into the President's office. Zelig jumped in surprise and crouched down to keep up with his daughter.He noticed that Katia had not moved from where Joanne separated from her and that she was not looking at him."I promise to come another day," Joanne said to her father."I'd love to," he said with a smile. "Now go on. Your mother is waiting for you.""Daddy, why didn't you say hello to mommy?," she asked innocently.Zelig noticed Katia watching them and saw her snort."Mommy is mad at me for something I did a long time ago, but as long as I get to see you again, I'll be happy. Do you know why?" The girl shook her head. "Because you look so much like your mother.""Grandma says Stefanie Elein looks more like Mommy..." she pouted tenderly."I don't think so. You... you have the same look as your mother and her same smile," she stroked his cheek, smiling. "Go on, go. Your mother will be more upset with me as long as you're still her
