Sweet Temptation Chapter 87: Two Can Play The Game
(Anna's POV)I had never realized jealousy could hurt this much.It wasn't just an emotion.It was a slow fire, burning quietly inside my chest while I stood there pretending everything was perfectly fine.I gripped the edge of the platform I was standing on, trying with everything in me to keep my expression neutral while watching Claire.Alex was doing this on purpose. I knew it.I could see it in the slight curve of his mouth, the way his eyes kept flicking toward me to gauge my reaction.He was trying to make me jealous, pushing me into doing something crazy.And the worst part...It was working.I forced a smile onto my face.Don't react.Don't let him win.That was what I kept telling myself.Claire, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware of the invisible battle taking place around her.She smiled warmly at me."Are you excited about the gala?" she asked, from across the platform where she was being fitted while the assistant continued adjusting fabric against her shoulders
Sweet Temptation Chapter 86: Let's Play The Long Game
(Alex's POV)I drove another few minutes away from the condo before my vision blurred.I couldn't do it anymore.I pulled the car over to the side of the quiet road and switched off the engine.My hands were shaking as I held the steering wheel. My chest felt so tight that it was hard to breathe.I closed my eyes.Why did this have to hurt so much?I had to drive off immediately because I couldn't stand to see her cry.Every instinct inside me was screaming at me to go back to her and comfort her. And tell her that I felt worse than she did because of our situation and that everything will be alright.But I couldn't.If I gave in now nothing would ever change.I leaned my forehead against the steering wheel and let out a long, shaky breath."I hate this..." I whispered to myself. "I hate this so much."These past few days has been hell for me.She had called everyday a dozen times.I never answered.Not even once.I let every call go to voicemail and ignored every message. Every sing
Sweet Temptation Chapter 85: A Coward's Plea
(Anna's POV)I pressed redial for what had to be the hundredth time, listening to the same hollow ringing before it inevitably clicked over to voicemail.*You've reached Alexander Anderson. Please leave a message.*I didn't leave one. There wasn't anything left to say that I hadn't already said in the previous ninety-nine attempts.I set my phone down on the table and pressed my brows in frustration.It has been three days since we returned from Maldives, and Alex had completely shut me out.Every message I sent remained unread. Voicemails upon voicemails.He didn't take any of my calls and didn't call back either.I had driven to the condo twice, hoping that seeing me in person would make him soften his heart and hear me out.But both times he had refused to open the door and allowed me to knock until I was tired and left.I'd never seen him this angry before.He was determined to shut me out completely.I leaned back against the garden chair on our balcony, staring blankly at the f
Sweet Temptation Chapter 84: Pool of Blood and Lies
(Isabella's POV)I couldn't breathe.I stood rooted to the floor, staring at Michael's motionless body."Michael?" My voice came out as barely a whisper.He still didn't move."Michael," I said again, louder this time, panic finally breaking through the shock.I dropped to my knees beside him, my hands shaking as I reached for his shoulder, shook him gently and then harder.Still nothing.I pressed my ears to his heart to hear a heartbeat or a pulse, any sign that this hadn't actually happened, that I hadn't actually killed him.But there was nothing.He was really dead.I slowly sank onto my knees.My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't even feel my fingers anymore."No..."The word barely left my lips."No... no... no..."This wasn't supposed to happen."It was an accident..." I whispered it over and over again. "It was an accident..."Tears blurred my vision.I hadn't meant for this to happen. He'd grabbed me, and tried choking me. He was going to kill me.I had to do some
Sweet Temptation Chapter 83: Kill or be Killed
(Isabella's POV)The moment I pushed the apartment door open, the smell hit me.It was so strong that I immediately covered my nose with the back of my hand."What on earth..."I stood frozen at the door with my suitcase in my hand and just looked around.The living room was a complete mess.Empty bottles were everywhere. Some were on the coffee table, some on the floor, and one was even sitting on the arm of my expensive sofa like it could fall at any moment.Pizza boxes were stacked on top of one another.Half-eaten food sat on the center table with flies buzzing around it.Dirty clothes were scattered everywhere.The curtains were drawn shut, making the apartment gloomy despite the bright afternoon outside.The air was heavy with the smell of alcohol, stale food and cigarettes.The beautiful throw blanket I carefully bought to match my living room now had a dark stain on it. I didn't even want to know what caused it.For a long moment, I couldn't believe this was the same apartment
Sweet Temptation Chapter 82: Sick Hearts
(Anna's POV)Richard arrived back from Singapore the day after Alex and I returned from France.I had less than few minutes to calm myself down.I had to hide everything that happened between Alex and me during that week.We had just finished breakfast when we heard his car.I watched from the balcony as the black SUV rolled to a stop outside the villa. The driver stepped out first before opening the rear door.Richard climbed out, looking exhausted.The moment he saw Alex waiting by the entrance, a smile spread across his face."Dad!"He walked over and hugged him warmly. "I can't thank you enough. I know I asked a lot from you and you dropped everything just to help me."Alex returned the hug with a polite smile."You don't have to thank me. It wasn't much of a problem.""I do." Richard shook his head. "You stayed here because of me. I owe you."Alex simply patted his shoulder "That wouldn't be necessary. She's family. I wasn't going to leave her to stay alone."Standing a few step
Sweet Temptation Chapter 53: DATE
(Alex's POV)The loud banging on my door dragged me out of my heavy sleep.I groaned softly, my head throbbing as I blinked against the dim light inside the condo. For a few seconds, I didn’t even remember where I was. Then slowly it all started coming back.I was at the condo.Slept off on the c
Sweet Temptation Chapter 52: Chaos
(Richard's POV)The moment the plane touched down, I felt my chest tighten again.I kept my head low as the other passengers stood and began pulling down their luggage from the overhead compartments. My face had become familiar in elite circles over the years, so I had covered my face with a mask
Sweet Temptation Chapter 51: Sheathed Truth
(Alex's POV)The moment I entered my room, I shut the door immediately behind me, the sound echoing loudly in the silence.My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.I leaned against the door heavily and closed my eyes.My chest felt tight.I can't believe I had rejected Anna.I coul
Sweet Temptation Chapter 46: Mistress and The Wife
(Richard's POV)My heart sank as I quickly rushed to Anna's side the moment she collapsed.“Anna!” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “Anna, look at me.”No response.Her body lay limp on the floor, one hand slightly curled near her chest, the other against the edge of the bed where she had
