Sweet Temptation Chapter 25: Confession
(Anna’s POV)I woke up to soft morning light coming through the hospital curtains and the steady sound of machines beeping.For a moment, I was confused. Where was I? What happened?Then I remembered everything.I was at the hospital.I had fallen asleep with Alex holding my hand.Alex.I quickly turned my head too fast and felt a sharp pain as I looked around for him.The chair beside my bed was empty.My chest tightened.He had left. He said he would stay, he promised.But he left and I was alone.I felt a sharp sting in my chest as hot tears prickled my eyes.This was silly.I was a grown adult and I had been alone a lot of times before. It shouldn’t bother me.But it did. A lot...The door opened.Alex came in carrying a tray of food.I exhaled in relief.He turned and when he saw I was awake he smiled warmly. His smile made my stomach flutter awkwardly.“Good morning,” he said warmly, placing the tray on the table near my bed. “I was hoping you would wake up soon. I didn’t w
Sweet Temptation Chapter 24: Family Emergency
(Richard’s POV)The meeting had gone well.Better than well, actually. The Dubai investors were practically salivating at the opportunity to partner with Anderson Holdings. By the time we'd wrapped up nearly six hours of presentations and business negotiations, I'd secured preliminary agreements worth over ten billion dollarsIt should have been a moment of triumph.Instead, all I could think about was Anna.I loosened my tie as I walked through the hotel lobby toward the elevators, my team trailing behind me, congratulating each other on the successful meeting.“Great job today, sir,” Marcus said. “You handled everything perfectly.”“Thank you,” I said absently, pressing the elevator button.“We should celebrate,” someone else said. “There’s a good restaurant upstairs.”“You go,” I said. “I need to make some calls.”They all nodded and left.The elevator opened and I stepped in, grateful for the alone time.As the doors closed and I began ascending to the top floor, my mind drifted
Sweet Temptation Chapter 23: Awake
(Anna's POV)I slowly opened my eyes.They felt heavy, like they wanted to close again.I blinked, slowly trying to adjust to the bright light.Where was I?At first, everything was blurry. Then I perceived the strong smell of antiseptic and I could hear the steady beeping of a machine.Hospital?I was in a hospital.Why was I in a hospital?I turned my head slightly, wincing at the dull pain that followed.What… happened?My thoughts felt scattered, like broken pieces I was trying to put together.Then I felt a familiar warmth on my hand.Someone was holding my hand.I looked down slowly.And my heart fluttered.Alex.He was sitting beside me.His head slightly lowered, his eyes closed… he was fast asleep.But his hand…His hand was wrapped firmly around mine.Like he was afraid to let go.My heart tightened.For a moment… I just stared at him.His face looked tired.There were faint lines under his eyes and his hair was slightly messy.How long has he been here?The thoughts made m
Sweet Temptation Chapter 22: Enemy Within
(Isabella’s POV)I watched Mr. Anderson from the other side of the hospital room.Alexander Anderson. Richard Anderson’s father. A very powerful and influential man, even though he was in semi-retirement.He was sitting beside Anna's hospital bed, holding her hand like she was the most precious thing in the world.He had been there for almost one hour. He did not move. He just watched her breathe and held her hand very gently.Was that how special Anna was in the family?“Mr. Anderson,” I said softly. I made my voice sound caring. “You should go and rest. Maybe clean yourself. You have been here for a long time.”He did not look at me. “I’m fine,” he said.He wasn’t.Anyone could see that.His shirt was stained with Anna's blood, but it was like he didn’t even notice."You're covered in blood," I pointed out, keeping my tone gentle. "When she wakes up she won't want to see you like this."That got his attention. His eyes flickered to me briefly before returning to Anna."She's ri
Sweet Temptation Chapter 21: The Promise
(Alex’s POV)I could not move.Anna was lying at the bottom of the stairs. She was not moving. Blood was gushing from her forehead. And I could not move.My body stopped working.My mind was screaming at me—*Do something. Help her. Move. Please, move.*But my body did not listen.I was stuck on the stairs just looking at her.This had happened before. I knew it. I knew why it was happening.“Mr. Anderson!” Margaret shouted. “Please, we need to help her!”I heard her, I also understood her.But I could not answer.Margaret ran past me and quickly went to Anna. She knelt beside her.“Oh my God,” she said softly, afraid to touch her. “Mrs. Anderson, please…”She checked Anna’s neck for a pulse.“She’s alive,” Margaret said, her voice shaking. “She’s breathing. She’s alive.”Those words broke the paralysis.Suddenly, I could move again.I rushed down the stairs.“Anna,” I said, kneeling beside her. “Anna, can you hear me?”No response. Her eyes remained closed, her face pale except fo
Sweet Temptation Chapter 20: Fatal Fall
(Alex’s POV)I was searching through my duffel bag again for the third time when my phone started ringing.The airport was very busy.People were walking fast with their bags, and announcements about flights and gates were loud in the background. I had found a quiet place near my gate to check if I had everything for my trip.Ticket, wallet, phone charger, headphones—My phone rang and my eyes dropped to the screen.Anna.My heart skipped.Why is she calling? Is she okay? Did something happen?I picked up almost instantly.“Anna.” There was a pause. "Is everything alright?” I asked.There was silence for a moment. Then she spoke softly, almost like she was unsure.“I… yes. I’m fine. I just… I wanted to know if you've gotten to the airport." She paused. "I didn’t get to say goodbye properly.”I closed my eyes and held the phone tighter.“Anna—”“Isabella interrupted us,” she said quickly. “Before you left. And I wanted to tell you something. I needed to tell you—”“It’s okay,” I said
