Chapter 44
Lindsey arrived at Rose Textile Company, S.A., with Isa. She knew that what awaited her inside would not be easy. The company was almost bankrupt—one of the things she would never forgive her father for. Lindsey would take the reins of her company to get it back on track and continue her grandfather's legacy. She walked confidently with her head held high through the hallway, guided by bodyguards. They entered the private executive elevator, and employees looked at her, unaware of what awaited them with the new CEO.Upon reaching her office, Janna and Dexter were waiting. Isa headed to the conference room to organize the meeting. Inside were 12 people—9 men and 3 women. Most were department heads, and the other partner was present with his assistant.Isa entered the office to organize the documents to be handed to the executives."Lin! All the executives and partners are in the conference room; we can start the meeting," Dexter said, occupied with Janna.Isa entered the conference roo

Lindsey marched into her office unexpectedly, circling her desk. As she sat down, she caught a glimpse, out of the corner of her eye, of Kyle drawing a satisfied smile on his lips. She scowled at him.Without averting his gaze from his prey, Kyle sat down in front of her and, with a cold but animated voice, commented, "Congratulations! I see you were able to recover your mother's company.""Thanks!" With raised eyebrows and self-assured, she inquired, "Would you like to sell me the 45% of the shares you hold?""These shares are not for sale. I'm interested in doing business with this company.""You have your advertising and fashion companies. This company means nothing to you; it's bankrupt, and I don't see the interest," she tried to persuade him."With my help, we can form a team, and you'll see that in no time, your company will be a major player in the market. Besides, I'll be the main buyer of raw materials.""Mr. Pratt, I don't want to have any dealings with you, and I don't wan

The bodyguards approached as the situation was under control. Mario, one of Lindsey's bodyguards, approached alongside Oscar, who was injured in the shoulder. When Kyle hugged Lindsey, the injured Oscar went to support his companion."Lin! We couldn't catch them; they shot from a car and fled. We need to take Oscar to the hospital; he got shot while protecting you," Mario explained with a pounding voice. Lindsey glanced at Oscar's bleeding shoulder and covered her mouth."Oh, God! Let's get to the hospital quickly."Oscar displayed a pained expression on his face. Isa approached him to check on his injuries."Lin! It's better if you go home, and I'll go with Oscar to the hospital.""I'll go with you, Isa! Janna, go with Lin to the mansion!" Dexter said, grabbing Oscar's arm. "We'll take my car so that your other bodyguard can accompany you.""I'll drive you. I won't take 'NO' for an answer. Before you say anything, check the rear tires of your car; they're shot," Kyle said.Lindsey, f

A month had passed since Lindsey took control of the company. Every morning, Kyle had tried to find a way to talk to her without success. He sent her a bouquet of red roses every day for two weeks, seeing some employees happily leaving the office with a bouquet from their boss. However, he eventually gave up on that idea.He was in his office, immersed in papers, when he lifted his head upon hearing a familiar voice."Good to see your face, Kyle! I've been trying to contact you for days," Maximilian said with a friendly tone as he settled into the chair in front of his cousin's desk."Hi, Max! My life is complicated right now. My obsession has resurfaced."Maximilian raised his eyebrows, thinking, "Could he be seduced by Catrina again?""Cousin, don't tell me you fell back into Catrina's clutches.""What are you talking about? Catrina was the worst thing I let into my life," and at the mention of her name, his gaze darkened."That's why I'm here. Over a month ago, my mom called me cry

Upon reaching the entrance of Grandpa Hugo's mansion, Lindsey informed her bodyguards that they were safe there and would call them when they were ready to return to their mansion. Sussan welcomed them gently, and upon seeing their grandmother, the kids didn't hesitate to run to her.Outside the mansion, someone observed them from a distance. "So, the prude had three kids. Interesting!"Inside the mansion, people were joyous with the children. Grandpa Hugo was captivated by his great-grandchildren, looking at Lucas and Leno with devotion, as they resembled his son Kyle. He listened to Lucas speak, feeling like he had his young Kyle back. Luna stuck to her grandmother Sussan, who spoiled her, and Lindsey watched the scene with joy.The atmosphere was interrupted when Kyle entered. He couldn't believe what his eyes saw—Lindsey with them confirmed his discovery. He stood still as his heart tried to escape his chest from the shock. He scrutinized each child, the boys identical to him at t

The kids shared their adventures in Florence with Kyle, with Luna being particularly talkative. After a few minutes, two cheerful children around 10 years old entered the room, saying in unison:"Good afternoon!"Every child's eyes focused on the blonde sitting on the sofa. They looked at each other and smiled before running to hug her. Lindsey didn't recognize the children and was startled by the warm embrace from each one. Nonetheless, she accepted it gladly while glancing at Kyle, seeking an explanation."Do you remember me, Lin? Or can I call you Mom?" said a playful Lucía, separating from the hug."Oh, my God, you've grown, Lucía, and changed. Those mischievous eyes give you away," Lindsey whispered as she observed the girl with brown eyes, then shifted her gaze to the blonde."Liam! You're quite the charmer," her eyes reflected the emotion of seeing the children, and any doubts in her mind disappeared. A smile adorned her face."Of course, you can call her Mom! She's the only on

Seeing his sapphires shine with emotion, Lindsey's spirit shook. Many nights she cried for him, and she missed every sensation lived by his side. In her mind, her grandmother appeared."Kyle! How do you expect me to move in with you overnight? Besides, there's my grandmother. I can't leave her alone in that mansion."He stood up with her and took her hands."Lin, your grandmother can move in with us. We're going to need help; there are already 5 children we have to protect." A satisfied smirk appeared on his face as he thought of the lively dinners and the reasons to come home early. "Also, just a few meters from the mansion, there's a spacious three-bedroom house that can be used for your bodyguards or anyone you want to live there.""Are you going to propose to me, or do you plan to have me as your lover and the mother of your children?" She eyed him playfully, seizing the moment to get married, to have the church wedding she had dreamed of."What are you saying? You will never be m

Courney took slow steps, wishing they would last forever; her heart raced with each approach to the table. With her gaze lowered, she positioned herself in front of the men who were engaged in conversation."Welcome, gentlemen. What would you like to drink?""Friends, let me introduce you to the little chick I mentioned," Cesar leered at her, while the other two men eyed her hungrily. "Life is funny. I met you with an air of superiority, and now I have you in front of me with your gaze lowered, working to attend to men.""Cesar! I promise to pay the money I owe you. Give me a few months to gather it, and I'll hand it over in full. As I mentioned before, my family lost everything, and this is the only job I could find.""I don't believe in promises! Don't worry, I know a better way for you to pay. Come and please me."A chill ran down Courney's spine."I won't sell my body! If you're looking for pleasure, I can send some girls who will gladly satisfy your needs," she said with fear in
