Henry’s POV

+25 BONUS

From the police station, I went straight to Samantha’s workplace planned to take her to lunch and tell her everything that was happening. When I arrived, Patrick was at Samantha’s desk, cracking jokes as usual.

“Is your company going bankrupt, Henty?” Patrick looked at me playfully.

“Where did you get that from, Patrick? My company is doing very well, thank you!” I replied humorlessly, still stressed from my time at the police station.

“But you’re always here now, almost like you’re looking for a job. Patrick laughed, and I rolled my eyes he was having fun at my expense.

“You’re such a pain, Patrick!” I complained.

“And you’re in too bad a mood to be around my new nephew.” Patrick kept that mocking smile on his face while Samantha laughed along with him.

“After the morning I had at the police station, my friend, even you would be stressed.” I commented, pulling up a chair to sit down.

“What’s going on, Henry?” Patrick turned serious.

“A lot. I came to get Sam for lunch and tell her everything that Flavian and Bonfim told me.” I replied, feeling exhausted. “Then let’s gather everyone, so you can tell us all at once. I’ll send messages.” Patrick took charge, and I thought that would be better indeed.

“I’ll call Melissa to come too.” I pulled my phone from my pocket and made the call.

We were already at the restaurant, just waiting for Melissa to arrive. When she finally showed up, it was like a hurricane sweeping through the tables. She was clearly furious, throwing herself into the chair like a lifeless body dropping, snorting and giving me murderous looks. I even shrank in my chair.

“Hey, crazy girl, what happened?” Alexander asked bluntly. I guessed he was the only one who wasn’t afraid of her.

“What happened, Miller? That son of a bitch Reynold happened! Henry, I swear to God I’m going to rip your father’s tongue out and give it to that caramel–colored dog of yours to play with.” Melissa was fuming, and I could understand why.

“Don’t just rip out his tongue, tear off what’s between his legs too. Patrick offered his opinion as usual.

“My dog doesn’t play with garbage, Melissa,” Samantha laughed.

“Where did you run into him?” I asked, since the police couldn’t find him.

“He was lurking in the company parking lot. But when he saw the security guards approaching, he ran away like the rat he is.” Melissa grabbed Patrick’s whiskey glass and downed it in one go.

“What did he do, say, threaten, whatever – what’s he up to now?” asked, exhausted.

“He said I’m a stupid, meddlesome woman and that he’d tach me a lesson to stay out of his way. He tried to hit me, can you believe the nerve!” Melissa complained.

“Did he hit you, Mel?” Rick asked, alarmed.

“Ricardo, wake up! I’m Melissa Larson, that idiot couldn’t touch a hair on my head. I beat him up!” Melissa gave a half–smile at the memory.

“Don’t say another word, Mel. I have to see this,” I said, feeling a small spark of joy.

“What are you going to do?” Melissa asked.

“I’m going to request the footage. Order a drink, you’re taking the rest of the day off” I smiled at the my advisor who had revolutionized my life.

zy woman I’d hired as

sent a message to my head of security requesting the parking lot footage, specifically of Melissa’s interaction with Reynold, ite quickly sent me the video, and to our delight, the cameras at my company captured audio.

We watched the video in shock. Melissa had indeed beaten up Revold, starting with twisting his arm when he raised his hand to hit her. With each strike, she hurled a different insult while he groaned in pain. The highlight was when she landed a pict right on his nose, which was clearly broken. Reynold would definitely need to go to a hospital. But a green car stopped and honked, and he managed to break free from Melissa and jump into the car, which sped away before the security guards could arrive.

“Did you see who was in the car, Mel?” I asked, having the sensation I’d seen that car before but couldn’t remember where. “Couldn’t see. But he’ll need to go to the hospital, I can guarantee that. I broke that pervert’s nose” Melissa smiled victoriously “That we could see,” Patrick smiled at her. “Now tell me, were you born this fierce?”

“Patrick, my dear, I was born a Larson. I don’t let anyone insult me or walk all over me, I don’t take crap from anyone, and I don’t bow my head to trashy men,” Melissa spoke calmly. “And that’s why I need to know how to defend myself. I took self- defense classes.”

“I could tell – you fight like you’re in a gang,” Alexander laughed.

I sent the images to Flavian – he could try to identify the car and alert the hospitals. Maybe we’d get lucky and Reynold would

finally be arrested.

During the rest of lunch, I told them everything I had discovered at the police station. When I mentioned that Nicole was involved with Romulus, Samantha’s eyes widened.

“That’s why she keeps calling me little Sam,” Samantha commented as if something suddenly made sense.

“What do you mean?” I was confused.

“Romulus is the only person on Earth who calls me little Sam, and that bitch always calls me that whenever she sees me,” Samantha explained.

“Whenever she sees you? Has she run into you other times besides when Rick was with you?” I asked, not sure if I wanted to

hear the answer.

“Oh shoot! My dear, don’t get mad, but with so much happening, I forgot to tell you.” Samantha placed her hand over mine.

After Samantha told me about the times she’d encountered Nicole without my knowledge, and after I complained until she convinced me she had forgotten, Patrick asked me to share what else I had learned at the police station. I continued telling them, and everyone was shocked at the possibility that Isabella had sent the poisoned chocolates to Sam.

“That bitch has gone too far!” Melissa growled. “You know what, since I have the afternoon off, I could go find her and take out my stress on that French bulldog face of hers.”
