The CEO's Secret 67
She was wearing a short-sleeved navy blue boat neck t-shirt with a contrasting print on the front and navy blue geometric-print pajama shorts with lace details on the sides and the hem. The shorts had an elastic waistband and a drawstring to adjust.She leaned on the edge of the countertop with her arms crossed and a faint smile as she watched her approach one of the refrigerators and began searching for the milk.Something about Stefan's presence, especially in those pajamas, made her nervous.She pulled out a carton of milk, trying to appear calm, and then went to the shelf where the glasses were. Stefan watched her every move attentively as she moved around."Do you add cocoa, honey, and sugar?" he asked when he saw the mixture she made once the milk was hot."Yes. When I was little, my grandmother used to make it for me, and I would fall asleep within a minute," she replied, looking at the glass. "Do you want to try it?""No, thanks. I don't think I'll like it," he declined, and h

She woke up the next morning when the rays of the sun streamed in through her room's window.Since returning to her room after the previous night, she hadn't been able to sleep well. It wasn't just because her daughter had woken up a couple of times, but also because she couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Stefan and her.It wasn't the first time they had kissed, but it was the first time with such tenderness, and it was also the first time he had opened up about his past. Yet, she still felt there was something he was hiding.She got out of bed, approached the crib to pick up her daughter, and as she returned to the bed, she gently touched the little lips. Once seated on the edge of the bed, she placed her daughter on the mattress, removed her pajama top, and then exposed one of her breasts to breastfeed.Meanwhile, Madeleine was in the backyard, watching as the laborers worked while Lucy ran around, carrying small wicker baskets filled with grapes and heading towa

Madeleine watched her friend curiously, trying to figure out how she knew this guy, but it seemed that Katia had no recollection of him. She instinctively turned and widened her eyes upon seeing the look Stefan was giving the red-haired guy.Alarmed, she started tapping her friend's arm gently, but Katia was so mesmerized that she didn't turn her head until the dark-haired woman gave her a hard slap."That hurt, Madeleine," Katia complained, looking at her in annoyance."If I were you, I'd stop looking at him that way..." Madeleine said near her ear. "Stefan is glaring at him as if he wants to strangle him.""Don't say nonsense! Besides, I'm trying to figure out why he seems familiar..." Katia said, looking at her friend. "You said earlier that if I didn't remember you now... but do we know each other from something?""Of course! We spent our days and afternoons covered in mud... Even more than once, you and I jumped into the barrel and came out all muddy up to our necks," the man rep

The days passed peacefully, if it weren't for Alastair monopolizing all of Katia's attention, and Stefan's jealousy becoming increasingly evident despite his attempts to conceal it.Everyone in that place had noticed that the blond man had feelings for the landowner's granddaughter. At night, they gathered in the kitchen when they couldn't sleep and so that the German could be with his daughter.They were also observed by Katia's grandparents, who, by the fifth day, had joined the nocturnal meetings and acted as spies while watching their young daughter have fun with the father of their granddaughter. They loved seeing their daughter with a smile.One night, two and a half weeks after arriving in Lourmarin, Katia's parents were spying on them from the kitchen door, which they had not realized."It's hard to believe, isn't it, Richard? In the mornings, they seem to be at odds with each other," Alice commented, resting her head on her husband's shoulder and holding onto his right arm."

Unable to resist any longer, they joined their mouths in a kiss filled with passion, longing, and desire.With each passing second, the contact became more and more passionate as he led Katia to the American island. The German lifted her onto the kitchen counter to press her against him. He lowered his head and nibbled on her breasts over the tank top that served as her pajama shirt.They could no longer hold back the attraction that consumed them, and in the end, forgetting where they were and the possibility of someone coming downstairs to the kitchen, they continued with their fervent kisses and caresses.Katia slipped her hand beneath his pajama pants. He looked at her with desire as she lowered his pants and felt her hand touching his member. Without warning, he removed her pajama pants, followed by her underwear.Katia felt the cold of the countertop against her buttocks, causing her breath to become increasingly erratic, knowing what was about to happen. Just the thought of it

Stefan strolled through the garden of his house, heading towards the pool.He regretted asking that red-haired man to take care of Katia and Joanne in case something happened to him.Leaving them in Lourmarin with that man didn't sit well with him, but he had to sort out several things with the patriarch of his family, which was not an easy task. His grandfather was even more stubborn than him in every way.Flashback:"I need to ask you for a favor.""Excuse me?" He raised an eyebrow."I want you to promise me something, in case something...""And why would I do that?""Because you will look after Katia and my daughter," Stefan paused briefly. "I want you to take care of them in case anything happens to me. I know you'll do it right," Stefan asked, staring into his eyes."Why are you asking me this? Wouldn't it be easier to set her free and let her be happy with someone who loves her?""I don't think it's a good idea... Katia doesn't know many things about me, and I have many secrets

Without further ado, he got into the car and Fred closed the door. He then circled around the car, got into the driver's seat, and, after starting without any issues, left the property, leaving the men with a bit more relief."Today he woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Mark thought as he watched his boss depart.The middle-aged man turned around, arms raised like claws, and exclaimed:"Come on, move! There's a lot to hide so they don't see!"The men, following Mark's orders, began doing what Stefan had instructed. Everyone was aware of the danger that Katia and her daughter could be in, and they had to pay attention to every detail.Deep inside, Mark wished that the young woman would be the one to stay with Stefan, but he also knew that he wouldn't make it easy. The world they were involved in would never be easy.He sighed heavily when he remembered how difficult it had been for him to be with the woman he had been married to for twenty-six years. He was just a pawn, and it had

At the door, Jennel and Norbert were waiting for them with smiles. On their legs and sitting on their hind legs were Panda and Booby.Upon seeing the car stop in front of them, these two dogs began wagging their tails.Katia got out of the car and knelt down to pet and hug her pets. She had missed them, just like she had missed Jennel and Norbert. The woman, thrilled with this reunion, hugged the young woman and then went to see the little one who was in Stefan's arms.Katia took this opportunity to greet Norbert with a hug. Then, the man approached his wife while the brunette scratched the pets' bellies."Darling, look. What a beauty!" Jennel exclaimed with the baby in her arms. "She looks so much like her parents. How old is she, ma'am?""She turns two months on July eighteenth," Katia replied, touching Panda and Booby's bellies."She's grown so much," Jennel commented with a special sparkle in her eyes."You're right, Jen. She's a beautiful baby, but she looks a lot like Katia," No

"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
