Sweet Temptation Chapter 103: Final Goodbye
(Isabella's POV)For a few long seconds, nobody spoke.The silence after my question told me more than words could.Richard's jaw tightened for a moment.Anna kept her face calm, but I could tell she was carefully controlling her expression."We just had a couple's argument," Richard said at last. His voice was calm and confident, as if he had already decided how this conversation would end. "We're fine. There's nothing to worry about.""We're working things out," Anna added.They gave the same answer, but for different reasons.I smiled with relief."Oh, thank goodness," I said, placing a hand on my chest. "I was worried when I heard you arguing. You two are..." I paused as if looking for the right words. "...the perfect couple. I would hate to see you separate."Every word was a lie.But I made it sound completely sincere.They both flashed an awkward smile."Don't worry about us," Richard said. "We're just going through a difficult time. Every married couple does.""Of course," I
Sweet Temptation Chapter 101: Second Chances
(Anna's POV)I never saw it coming.One minute, Alex and I were arguing about me going back to Richard and the next minute he broke down in my arms.I froze.My heart shattered into a million pieces.This was the man who always seemed so strong.The man who solved every problem before anyone else even realized there was one. The man who always comforted me.But now, he was the one falling apart.Without thinking, I walked over and wrapped my arms around him.He didn't resist.Instead, he leaned into the embrace like someone who had been holding himself together for far too long."I'm sorry," he whispered. "So... so sorry."I gently rubbed his back. "You don't have to apologize."For several minutes, neither of us spoke.I simply stood there, letting him cry.There were no loud sobs.No dramatic sounds.Alex Anderson never did anything dramatically.But the pain in his tears told me how deeply he had been hurting.I held him tightly.His head rested against my shoulder while I gently r
Sweet Temptation Chapter 100: A Father's Heart
(Alex's POV)I was surprised too. I wasn't expecting Richard at the house, by this time?"I don't know." I whispered.Anna looked terrified. "He can't see me here. He'll find out."I reached for her hands. "Relax. I'll handle this."She shook her head. "You don't understand. He'll kill me if he finds out."She was visibly shaken."Calm down, Anna."She took my hands in hers. "You promised to keep us a secret till after the divorce. You can't tell him the truth. He can't know I'm here."I closed my eyes briefly and exhaled deeply. "Anna, this is..."She squeezed my hand. "Please."I finally nodded. "It's alright. Gi upstairs to my bedroom and stay there until I come."She hesitated. "What if he wants to—""I'll take care of it." I quickly said.She gave one final nervous glance toward the monitor before disappearing upstairs.I waited until I heard the bedroom door close.Then I opened the gate.Richard drove in and stepped out of the car.He looked very exhausted.His eyes were red
Sweet Temptation Chapter 99: Between Two Loyalties
(Alex's POV)The smell of fresh coffee filled the kitchen before I even finished cracking the second egg into the pan.Morning sunlight poured through the large windows, warming every corner of the condo. It was quiet. Peaceful.For the first time in days, I felt like I could breathe.I heard soft footsteps behind me.I smiled before I even turned around."I knew you'd come early," I said."You missed me that much?"I laughed quietly. "I did."Before I could say another word, Anna walked straight toward me and wrapped both arms around me.I hugged her back instinctively.For several long seconds neither of us spoke.Just holding each other felt enough."I missed you too," she whispered.I rested my chin lightly on her head. "I counted every hour."She pulled back just enough to smile at me.bl "You sound dramatic.""I am serious. I missed you so much."She laughed, and the sound instantly made the last few difficult days seem lighter.That laugh...It was becoming my favorite sound in
Sweet Temptation Chapter 98: Getting Her Back
(Richard's POV)I woke up feeling like something heavy had hit me on the head.I stayed still for a long moment trying to gather myself together.My head hurt terribly. It pounded behind my eyes, making every heartbeat feel like someone was striking a hammer against my skull.I groaned and slowly opened my eyes.Sunlight pushed through the curtains.For several long seconds I simply stared at the ceiling.Everything felt heavy. My head, my body, my thoughts. Even breathing seemed difficult.I frowned."...How did I get here?"My voice sounded rough.I slowly pushed myself into a sitting position.The room spun immediately and I quickly grabbed the edge of the bed and shut my eyes."What on earth..."I looked around the bedroom.It was my bedroom.I was home. But I couldn't remember how I got here.The last thing I clearly remembered was sitting alone inside my office and chugging down several bottles of whiskey.After that...Nothing.It was all blank.I must have passed out.I rubbed
Sweet Temptation Chapter 97: Cracks
(Isabella's POV)Richard Anderson was heavier than he looked.This was not something I ever expected to discover personally, but here I was, struggling under his weight.One of his arms was around my shoulder while Anna held the other side. Together, we tried to move him up the stairs. It was difficult carrying a grown man who was drunk and barely able to control his own movements."Be careful with the step," I warned."I see it," Anna replied from the other side of him.Richard mumbled something I could not understand. "Almost there," I said, mostly to encourage myself.After a lot of effort, we finally reached the master bedroom.Anna pulled back the blanket, and together we guided Richard onto the bed.The moment his body touched the mattress, he completely relaxed. He looked like someone who had been waiting for a place to finally collapse.He was still wearing his full work clothes.Anna immediately loosened his ties, jacket and then his shoes.Watching her, I wondered how man
Sweet Temptation Chapter 17: Baby Chills
(Alex’s POV)The icy-cold water ran down my face in steady streams.It hit my skin and slid down my body, soaking everything, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.I stood under the shower, both hands braced against the tiled wall, my head lowered, eyes closed, breathing hard.I tried to
Sweet Temptation Chapter 11: Let's Have a Baby
(Anna’s POV)Richard's gaze lifted back to me, his brows creased with worry.“Anna, are you alright?” he asked, walking toward me.Something inside me sank, like I was disappointed he was here.“I’m fine,” I said softly.“I came as soon as the meeting ended,” he added.Of course he did.“Thank you,
Sweet Temptation Chapter 6: Tension
(Anna’s POV)I looked closely at Alex’s face and saw his jaw tighten a little. His eyes flickered, and for the first time since morning, he looked… Uncomfortable.But why?“I… well…” he started, then stopped. He cleared his throat. “Robert.”I blinked. “Robert?”“Yes. Your chauffeur, Robert.” He s
Sweet Temptation Chapter 5: Daughter-in-law
(Alex’s POV)I couldn't help a small smile seeing Anna's face turn red in embarrassment.I was about to try ease her anxiety when Richard's cold voice cut in sharply.“You are grounded,” he said plainly. “For now, you are not allowed to leave this house without my permission. You will not go anywh
