Hannah’s POVI had hoped never to see Rafael again after those messages, and he seemed to have given up too; after my last message, he didn't respond anymore. It was better this way. But it seemed fate was a prankster, and when the elevator doors opened on the ground floor, there he was, standing and waiting, wearing black jeans and a shirt of the same color, leaning against the wall across from me.But something was wrong with this man. He looked tired or irritated. He entered the elevator and wouldn't let me leave. He pressed the button for his floor and the door closed while I stood there looking at him. He stared at me, as if struggling to make a decision. His eyes seemed like they would pierce through my skull. But he said nothing and didn't move, just stared at me with an intensity I had never felt before. Finally, the doors opened on his floor and he took a deep breath."Keep me company for a while, Hannah? Just dinner," he asked, and there was a certain sadness in his voice."A

Fernando’s POVMelissa seemed to be doing much better than the day before, but she was still a little down. I didn't want her to go to work, but she convinced me she was fine and that it would be better to go to the office than to stay home alone. We got dressed together, as we did every day; she put on her makeup while I shaved, and after we got dressed, she fixed my tie, which I deliberately left a bit crooked just so she could straighten it.I watched her in the closet wearing only her lingerie as she took her dress off the hanger. She was so beautiful, her curves were more pronounced and her breasts were slightly fuller, which drove me even crazier for her. She must have gained a pound or two recently, which looked really good on her. Her skin seemed to be glowing, probably the effect of some new cream she was using, though I hadn't noticed any different scent. And her hair was subtly different too, maybe a bit more voluminous. Whatever she was doing had a very positive effect - sh

Rafael’s POVI took a shower after returning from my morning run and was sitting at home, twirling between my fingers that little packet of pills that detestable man had given me the night before. I needed to decide what to do. I could go to the police, but I had no proof, unlike that man, who could easily incriminate me and had enough money to buy anyone he wanted.At least I had already sent Giovanna away. She was happy there with her aunt, far from here. I just hoped it was far enough. I needed to decide what to do, whether to go down this path that didn't appeal to me or risk going to jail. The truth was, neither option appealed to me.And as if my life wasn't confusing enough, I'd also picked up a problem with almond-shaped eyes to deal with. That crazy girl would be my downfall! That Hannah was completely insane, and I had a feeling she would complicate my life a lot. But why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Why was I so interested in that crazy girl? Oh, of course, I knew why

Melissa’s POVI arrived at the restaurant next to the hospital and the girls were already there. I was irritated, very irritated."Wow, Mel, you took forever, what happened?" Catherine asked and I huffed."Henry's slacking off with the other idiots and overloading me with work," I answered irritably."But what did he do?" Sam asked."Your hubby slipped out of the office early this morning and hasn't come back yet, but he sent me a message asking me to review all the client contracts in the office because one of them is questioning the agreed terms and he doesn't want that client to contaminate the others," I replied."I bet it's that unbearable telecom guy, that man is impossible," Sam lamented and I agreed."I think so too, but your husband didn't want to tell me so I wouldn't have a biased view of the contracts. If these contracts were still printed, my office would look like a filing cabinet drawer," I huffed."Funny, that reminded me of that time he sent you to the archive room to

Melissa’s POVI parked in front of Eva's house, where Flavian was already waiting for me, watching the place from inside his car. When he saw me pull up, he quickly got out and wrapped me in a bear hug."Partner, you've been missing from the station." He joked, and I knew he was trying to distract me."Oh, partner, that must be because you haven't been working much, right?!" I narrowed my eyes at him, and he let out a short laugh."We have a deal, I investigate what you ask me to and you don't punish me for what the idiots do." He laughed, remembering that we had already sealed a cooperation pact; he gave me what I wanted, as long as it didn't include information about what they did at the boys' meetings."But you owe me many favors, maybe I should collect on some," I reminded him, and he laughed."And I'll keep owing you, but can I ask for something really special?" He looked into my eyes and I huffed, but nodded. "Give us two days? Two days without thinking or asking anything, withou
