(Alex's POV)

Isabella looked between us, still waiting for a response.

"Congratulations on the position. We are happy for you." I quickly said in a bid to break the tension in the room.

Isabella looked between us again and said nothing.

She knew something was wrong and we were not being completely honest with her. But she also knew better than to push the matter any further.

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson," she said with a big smile. "I am so excited to start. This is such an amazing opportunity."

But she also knew better than to push the matter any further."Thank you, Mr. Anderson," she said with a big smile. "I am so excited to start. This is such an amazing opportunity.""I am sure you will do very well," Anna added, though I could hear the uncertainty in her voice.Isabella seemed to feel the tension in the room because she quickly made excuses to leave."I should go and reply to all these emails," she said, waving her phone. "Lots of paperwork to fill out, I am sure. Thank you again, both of you!"She then left the room, closing the door behind her.The moment she was gone, Anna turned to me."Why did you stop me?" she asked quietly. “You were going to tell her

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 35: P.A

    (Isabella's POV)I woke up to bright sunlight hitting my eyes like sharp needles.My head hurt badly. My mouth tasted terrible and my whole body felt like I've been run over by a train.I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the pounding headache, but it only got worse.“Ugh…”My throat was dry and the room was spinning.I fell back onto the pillow and waited for everything to stop moving.After a while I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.I was in my room. How did I get here?I tried to remember what happened last night.I had gone clubbing and drank myself to stupor.I had bumped into Mr Anderson and then...The last thing I remembered were his strong hands catching me.I must have passed out.Had he carried me to my room?I looked down at myself. I was still wearing my clothes from the night before. The top two buttons were still open, showing my sexy cleavage.A slow smile crept onto my lips as I wondered if Mr Anderson had seen it.A knock at the door

    (Richard's POV)For a moment, I didn’t hear anything else.The doctor’s words just hung in the air.Pregnant.It echoed in my head like a loud noise that refused to stop.I blinked slowly, trying to process it.“No…” I muttered under my breath.“Are you sure?”The doctor looked slightly confused by my reaction.“Yes, of course,” he said calmly. “We ran the tests. It’s confirmed. She’s six weeks gone."I stared at him.Six weeks.My jaw tightened.“Run it again,” I said sharply.“Sir?”“The test,” I repeated. “Run it again. I want to be sure.”Jessica shifted on the bed.“Richard…”But I didn’t look at her.The doctor stopped smiling. "There's no need to repeat the test sir. We checked her blood when Miss Moore was rushed to the hospital. The pregnancy hormone is there. She is definitely pregnant."He showed me numbers on a tablet but I didn't understand anything.The only thing I understood was that my life was about to be completely destroyed."Feeling sick in the morning and dehydra

    (Richard’s POV)The heat hit me as soon as I got off the plane in Dubai.The afternoon sun was slithering hot. The heat was dry and strong, making it hard to breathe.But I didn’t really pay attention to it. My mind was entirely on the reason I had rushed over at such quick notice.First I needed to check the investor deal and make sure my team had handled everything well.And then I needed to deal with Jessica and whatever drama she'd manufactured to get my attention.I climbed into the waiting car, a black Mercedes the company kept on retainer for executive visits“Take me to the Sterling Towers office first,” I told the driver.“Yes, sir.”The drive through Dubai felt normal. I had been here many times before. I knew the city very well.This city represented opportunity.Expansion into Middle Eastern markets that would solidify Anderson Holdings position as a true global player.And my team had better not screw it up.I arrived at the offices twenty minutes later and took the el

    (Alex's POV)I looked at the limp woman in my arms and sighed in exhaustion.What was my deal with drunk women passing out in my arms.First, it was Anna at the club that night and now her friend.Atleast she didn't throw up on me like Anna.A small smile came to my lips as I remembered that night.She had looked lost, confessing her marital affairs with a total stranger.Her soft voice was unclear because of the alcohol… and the way she had looked at me... hungrily, and I was the only edible she could munch.I breathed out slowly and pushed the memory away.Focus Alex.This is not the time.I looked back at Isabella and noticed her front two buttons were open, revealing some cleavage.I quickly looked away and faced the wall. I picked up her handbag and placed it over her chest to cover her properly.“Careless…” I muttered quietly, not sure if I meant her or the situation.The hallway was quiet as I carried her to her room.I pushed the door open with my shoulder and walked inside.

    (Isabella’s POV)The music was blasting very loudly.I could feel the heavy beats in my chest as I danced in the VIP area of Eclipse, one of the most expensive clubs in Beverly Hills.This was where I needed to be.Where I felt belonged.Not sitting in Anna’s house, acting like a poor, grateful guest.Here in the spotlight with drinks, attention, and men who admired me.This has always been my lifestyle.I took another sip of my champagne.It was expensive, but I paid for it by selling one of the designer bags Anna gave me.The Chanel bag.I sipped again as I remembered how I got the money for this luxury.Earlier that day, I had stared at the piles of luxurious items on the bed, wondering what to do with them.I quickly grabbed my phone and sat cross-legged on the bed, opening a resale platform.My fingers moved fast as I took clean, well-angled pictures of the items.I knew exactly what I was doing.I had done this many times before.Not with things this expensive...but I knew how t
