Sweet Temptation Chapter 117: The Mastermind
(Isabella's POV)I turned the earring over in my hand and smiled.Not the innocent smile I always showed Richard or the kind and caring smile I showed Anna.It was the smile of someone whose plan was working exactly the way she wanted.The small silver earring caught the afternoon sunlight coming through my bedroom window. A tiny bright reflection appeared on the ceiling.Such a perfectly placed small thing.I closed my fingers around the earrings and leaned back against the dressing table, unable to stop smiling.Most people believed opportunities simply appeared.No.Opportunities had to be created.And that was exactly what I had been doing.Every move, every action I made...None of it had been accidental.I left the dressing table and walked to the window overlooking the Anderson estate.The mansion stood proudly under the afternoon sun.Everything screamed luxury and power.Everything I had dreamed about growing up.I hadn't spent years struggling just to get by.I deserved more
Sweet Temptation Chapter 116: Lead
(Alex's POV)The hotel room had never felt so quiet.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the New York skyline. Thousands of lights glittered below like stars scattered across the city, but I barely noticed them.My thoughts were somewhere else.They were back in Beverly Hills.Back with Anna.I glanced at my watch for what felt like the hundredth time.Karl should have been here already.The investigation couldn't move forward without his report.I let out a slow breath and rubbed my forehead."Come on..."The sooner this meeting ended, the sooner I could get on a plane and fly back home.I smiled despite myself.Anna had sounded different during our last conversation.She sounded so excited.Like she was trying very hard not to reveal a wonderful surprise.Could she have found the marriage contract?If she had that would be a really wonderful news. Everything would finally begin falling into place.I remembered the promise I had made to her that if she couldn't ge
Sweet Temptation Chapter 115: Secret Safe
(Anna's POV)The moment Richard took the earring from my hand, his expression changed for a split second.It was so quick that I almost thought I had imagined it.His fingers tightened around the small silver stud before he forced a smile."Oh... this?"He cleared his throat."Isabella came in earlier to prepare the room before you returned from the hospital."I frowned slightly."Prepare the room?""Yes." He nodded almost too quickly. "Margaret was with you at the hospital, so Isabella offered to help. She wanted everything to be clean and comfortable before you came home."His voice sounded calm.Natural.Almost rehearsed.I searched his face for another second before finally relaxing.It actually sounded like something Isabella would do.She had always been thoughtful.I smiled weakly."That was really kind of her."Richard released a breath I hadn't realized he had been holding."I'll return it to her."I placed the earring back into his palm."Please thank her for me.""I will."H
Sweet Temptation Chapter 114: Beneath the Sheets
(Anna's POV)I woke up as the soft morning sunlight filled the room.Even before I fully opened my eyes, I already knew I was still here, in the hospital.The only sound in the room was the the soft beeping sound of the monitor.I slowly moved my body, checking how I felt.My head still hurt where I had hit it and my body still felt groggy.But I could tell I was getting better than when I first arrived at the hospital. Coupled with the latest news I had discovered.I instinctively placed my hand over my abdomen.A tiny life.I still couldn't believe it.A soft smile appeared on my lips.I slowly looked across the room.Richard was fast asleep on the couch.He had covered himself with his jacket because he didn't have a blanket.The couch was too small for someone as tall as him, so his arms were folded across his chest, and his head rested awkwardly against the backrest. Dark circles surrounded his eyes. His hair was slightly messy, and his jaw still carried the faint bruise from w
Sweet Temptation Chapter 113: Buried Secrets
(Richard's POV)A sharp pain exploded inside my head the moment I opened my eyes.I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut again.For several long seconds, I simply lay there, trying to remember where I was.I eventually forced myself to sit up and rubbed my temples.My shirt and grey pants were tossed carelessly over the chair.The curtains were still drawn, leaving the room dim despite the lights from outside.I reached for the table clock.My heart nearly stopped.Ten o'clock PM.I stared at it again."No..."I grabbed my phone and checked and it was still same time."Oh my God!" I gasped. "I slept the whole day?"Panic rushed through me.Anna.I had promised I would come back as soon as possible.But here I was. I had slept through the entire day.I quickly sprang up.Beside me, Isabella moved, making the sleepy sound of someone waking from a deep sleep too."Isabella," I said as I got out of bed. "Wake up. We have to go."She opened her eyes."Mmm..what is it?" She mumbled sleepily."
Sweet Temptation Chapter 112: Founder's Crack
(Alex's POV)New York welcomed us with its usual gray sky.It was the kind of city that didn't change its mood just because visitors arrived.The private airport terminal was quiet.Only the ground workers were around.The cabin door opened, and the cold New York air rushed inside.I walked down the stairs without wasting a second.Karl was already waiting for me.It looked like it had been there for some time and didn't mind waiting even longer."Karl?""Right here, sir."He stood beside a black SUV parked near the private terminal, dressed in his usual charcoal suit, a tablet tucked neatly under one arm.He looked unusually tense.That alone told me whatever this problem was, it wasn't small.He opened the rear door."Everything is ready."I got into the car.Karl got in behind me."How long will it take?" I asked."The traffic isn't too bad," Karl answered. "About forty minutes to headquarters."I nodded."Anderson Headquarters." Karl instructed the driver and the SUV pulled away sm
Sweet Temptation Chapter 4: Stranger Danger
(Anna’s POV)I blinked once, then twice and when I finally opened my eyes I felt a sharp pain at my temple that spread through my head.It throbbed with every heartbeat, like my head was being squeezed.I closed and tried to breathe slowly so my head wouldn’t feel like it would burst.The bed under
Sweet Temptation Chapter 3: Nightangles
(Anna’s POV)It was five years ago, I had desperately signed those here in this same office.My lawyer was there, trying to calm me down.My mother was to be scheduled for her surgery and without the initial deposit to start she would die.My family was bankrupt and at the verge of collapse and the
Sweet Temptation Chapter 2: Let's Divorce
(Anna’s POV)What am I doing here?Did he really just ask me that?Maybe I heard him wrong.My husband of five years asking me what I was doing in his office?The man I gave my heart, soul and even body to.I wasn't so sure about the body aspect as he had stopped touching me a long time ago.I look
Sweet Temptation Chapter 1: Perfect Lie
(Anna’s POV)The camera clicked loudly as bright lights flashed in our faces.“Mrs. Anderson, over here!” someone called as more photos were taken.I posed and smiled while Richard held me gracefully.It was the opening of the Meridian Pearl Grand Hotel, a new branch of Anderson Holdings. All the
