Ava noticed Mateo’s strange demeanor; she sensed his restlessness. She leaned her head against his chest while hugging him.


    “Is something wrong, amore?”


    “No, be, everything’s fine.”


    “You seem different. Are you sure everything is okay?”


    “It’s nothing. I’m just a bit tired.”


    Ava had a feeling that something was bothering him. She knew him too well. She would do her best to help him forget about their problems for a while. They arrived in Miami at night.


    They headed straight to the hotel to drop off their luggage before going to a restaurant. They hadn’t had dinner, and the kids were starting to get cranky.


    The girls noticed this and exchanged jokes about how the guys were turning into ogres and how hunger affected them.


    The guys ate in silence while the girls watched them with amusement.


    “When you’re done observing us, girls, you can start eating,” Tadeo grumbled, which made the girlsugh even more.

    “I’m sorry, but hunger seems to make you guys lose your words,” Ava replied yfully.


    “Sorry, amore, I was starving,” Mateo said, blushing.


    “Even Matt has gone silent,” everyone turned to look at the little one, who had bits of food all over his face, while L was making a great effort to keep him clean.


    “Haha,” the girlsughed in unison.


    They had dinner amid a pleasant conversation, and the guys had improved their moods. L watched with satisfaction as her girl was happy.


    “My dear, I’ll go with Máx to meet with my partners. They sent me the location of the ce they’ve chosen for the subsidiary. Do you want to apany me, or would you prefer to spend time with the girls?”


    “Girls’ time!” Cam and Morgana shouted.


    “I’ll join that n,” Ima added.


    “Me too,” Ava said.


    “Sounds perfect, be. I imagine Akiro and Tadeo will apany you, along with some of the bodyguards, so I’ll feel more at ease.”


    “I’ll stay at the hotel with Matt; it’s his bedtime,” L preferred staying in and having the little one rest since she wasn’t into walking and shopping would be too tiring for Matt.


    “Will you have bodyguards with you?” Ava asked Mateo.


    “Yes, two wille with us, and the other four will go with you. The rest will stay behind to look after L and our son.”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    “Take care of yourself, amore.”


    “You too, my be. What will you be doing?”


    “We’ll go shopping; there’s a big shopping center here that stays opente,” Morgana replied.


    “Good luck with the shopping, guys, haha,” Mateo said to Akira and Tadeo, and they allughed.


    Unbeknownst to them, since their arrival at the airport hangar, their every move had been recorded and sent to Teodoro. The sinister man watched the footage with a malevolent gleam in his eyes.


    “They’ve walked right into the wolf’s den all alone. It’s such a pleasure to watch them all together and within my reach.”


    The girls shopped and roamed around the shopping center several times. Meanwhile, the guys couldn’t take another step.


    “Do you really need to buy everything in the stores?” Akira asked.


    “Look at me, Akira. How do I look?” Ima asked her husband.


    “As beautiful as always,” he replied honestly because Ima was very attractive.


    “Well, to look beautiful, I need to find things that make me look good, my love,” Ima said.


    “Ima’s right, so stopining and keep walking, guys,” Cam chimed in and then gave Tadeo a quick kiss. He just smiled and continued walking.


    Later, they returned to the hotel, famished once again. Mateo and Máx caught up with them in the restaurant.


    “How did it go, be?” Mateo hugged Ava.


    “It went great, amore. We bought some really nice things,” Ava loved shopping because since she regained her sight, she could choose what to buy, whereas L used to do it for her.


    Máx greeted Morgana with a passionate kiss, which the redhead enthusiastically reciprocated.


    Ima and Akiro were still a bit perplexed by these public disys of affection. In their country, it wasn’t customary to do so, not because it was frowned upon but because of their culture.


    They considered it too intimate, except for the nights at the club, but that was different; they only enjoyed the show. Those without partners would pick one, and everything else that happened took ce in the privacy of a room.


    Mateo decided to share the itinerary with them since he was the only one who knew it until now. He did this to prevent anyone else from finding out their whereabouts.


    “My be, the ce my partners have chosen for the subsidiary is perfect. Tomorrow, during the meeting, it will be approved. I’ll only be there for a few minutes during the cocktail, and after that, we can leave. We’ll travel to the beach vi, where we’ll spend six days and enjoy various fun activities.”


    “PERFECT!” everyone responded.


    “I didn’t want to burden my grandfather too much again, but he insisted.”


    “We all needed this time to rx,” Akiromented.


    “Well, let’s rest up because our vacation starts tomorrow.”


    Mateo took Ava’s hand as they headed to their room, followed by the other couples going to their respective rooms.


    From their attitudes, it was clear that they would do anything but rest.


    Ava and Mateo stopped by to check on Matt, who would be staying in L’s room. The little one was sound asleep. Ava handed the nanny a te of food she had ordered for her.


    “Thank you, my dear. Don’t worry about Matt. He’s been very calm; he won’t wake up until tomorrow.”


    “Thank you, Nana.”


    The couple retired to their room, where the night felt too short for the passion they felt. In the other rooms, the other couples were doing the same. Everyone felt that they had found the perfect person, and at that moment, they believed they didn’t need anything else to be happy.


    In the morning, Mateo and Máx went to the Spanish corporate office. The meeting went by quickly; it was just for him to sign the documents authorizing the start of the remodeling of the building for the new subsidiary.


    Mateo was relieved that the meeting ended quickly because one of his partner’s assistants had been flirting with him throughout the meeting. Máx found it amusing to watch Mateo squirm under the girl’s provocations, not because he liked it, but because she discreetly touched him whenever she could.


    “You made it out of that meeting alive, boss,” Máx couldn’t help butugh.


    “Don’t mention this to Morgana; she would run off to tell Ava, and I don’t want to end up hanging from a tree,” Mateo feared that Ava would find out and think he had encouraged the girl.


    “Ha, ha, my lips are sealed,” Máx said, running his hand over his mouth, pretending to lock it with an imaginary key.


    They headed to a shopping center to fulfill a request from the other guys and then made their way to the cocktail party. They hadn’t invited the rest of the group because they would only be there for a few minutes. Mateo wanted to get to the house they had rented as soon as possible.


    When they arrived at the cocktail party, the girl who had been flirting with Mateo during the meeting was already there. She had changed into a revealing dress.


    “Damn,” Mateo muttered when he saw her, knowing she would cause him trouble.


    “I think the temperature just spiked around here, boss,” Máx said,ughing. He found Mateo’s expressions of difort highly entertaining.


    Mateo stayed close to his business partners the entire time to avoid the girl harassing him openly, fearing she would get fired. When she went to the bathroom, Mateo and Máx said their goodbyes and practically ran out of there.


    “Ha, ha, ha. I never thought I’d see you running from a girl,” Máxughed, but Mateo didn’t find it funny at all.


    Back at the hotel, they joined the group, which was gathered for breakfast. After breakfast, Tadeo and Cam stood up, holding hands.


    “Guys, we want to share something with you. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life,” Tadeo announced.


    Visibly moved, Cam hugged him and then they both said at the same time.


    “We’re pregnant!”


    The group congratted them, delighted for the couple. They seemed very enthusiastic and were a happy pair.


    Later, they left the hotel and headed to the house. Mateo received a call from Guido and stepped away from the group to take it. After ending the call, he rejoined the group and picked up his son.


    They boarded two waiting SUVs, with the bodyguards following behind. Upon arriving at the hangar, they boarded the private ne again and, some timeter,nded in Hawaii.


    “Wow! We’re in Hawaii,” Akiro eximed, just then realizing where the vi was located, like the others, he was pleasantly surprised.


    Upon arriving at the vi, everyone was astonished. Despite being right on the beach, the interior was luxuriously appointed. They were enchanted with the ce. From the terrace, they could see the sea. There was ample staff to attend to their needs. Mateo had hired live music to wee them, knowing his friends would appreciate it, even though he would have preferred something quieter. But he wanted them all to enjoy themselves and forget their troubles for a while.


    “Wow, my friend! You’ve outdone yourself. This is style!” Akiro eximed in amazement.


    “It’s about enjoying ourselves and beingfortable, so we can forget about what we’ve been through,” Mateo replied.


    Ava wished that Aneliz and her fiancé could have apanied them. Aneliz was the girl who had taken care of Ava at Teodoro’s house, and they were quite fond of her. However, they were busy with preparations for their wedding, at which Ava and Mateo were to be the godparents. They had adapted quickly to their new life, thanks to Mateo and Ava’s support. In Hawaii, four couples of lovers were determined to forget their problems and enjoy their love.


    Later, everyone retired to their rooms with ns toe back downter for dinner together. There would be a wee show put on by the hired musical group.


    “I love this Caribbean atmosphere. We should enjoy it,” Tadeo said to Cam as he yfully swayed his hips in the style of the ind’s traditional dance.


    The ones most astonished by all the luxury were Cam and Morgana. They had never known that life could be so extravagant, as the men they had dealt with in the past were wealthy, but since they were only for fleeting moments of pleasure, they never got to see their real lifestyles.


    “This is incredible, Tadeo. Look at everything around us; it’s marvelous. I can’t believe I’m in a ce like this,” Cam eximed.


    “I may not be a millionaire, but I promise you, I have enough to give our child and you the best life possible.”


    He kissed her tenderly, a tenderness born from knowing that from that point on, he was responsible for doing everything in his power to make her happy. The life where she had to do whatever it took to survive was behind her.
