Sweet Temptation Chapter 42: Impossible Love
(Anna's POV)My heart was beating so fast I thought it might burst right out of my chest.Had I really just said that? Had I actually just confessed my feelings?The words hung in the air between us, impossible to take back.Alex was still kneeling in front of me on the floor, his arms wrapped tightly around me as though he was scared I would shatter if he let go.His chest rose and fell heavily against mine and his breathing was uneven.Mine was worse.My whole body was still trembling from that kiss.God.That kiss.It was the most intense and passionate kiss I've ever had.I could still feel the force of it.There was nothing gentle about it.It was desperate, like two people drowning and grabbing onto each other for air.My lips tingled violently as the memory replayed in my head.The way his mouth had crashed into mine, the way I had kissed him back without thinking.My skin felt as if it were on fire. All the places where his hands had touched me still burned with the memory.
Sweet Temptation Chapter 41: Escape
(Richard's POV)I sat inside the car, holding the steering wheel very tightly until my fingers became white.My heart was beating very fast. My shirt was wet with sweat even though the car air conditioner was on.My breathing came out ragged as the image of Jessica being dragged away replayed in my head over and over again.Her terrified eyes and the muffled screams as she struggled.I clenched my jaw painfully.“Damn it…”My voice sounded rough and unfamiliar.I started the car and drove off in haste like a crazy man.The city lights blurred past me, but I barely noticed them.All I could hear was my own heartbeat pounding violently inside my ears.I pressed harder on the accelerator.What had I done?No.This isn't my fault.I had no choice. Jessica forced me into this. This is all her fault.She threatened me.She was ready to destroy everything, my company, my marriage. Everything I had worked years to build.What else was I supposed to do?Just sit back and let her destroy my li
Sweet Temptation Chapter 40: Confession
(Alex's POV)I saw Anna standing at the foyer with Robert, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.Her face was pale as paper and her hands were trembling on her crutches. And when she looked up and saw me, the expression in her eyes made my blood go cold.Rage."Anna?" I started moving toward her immediately. "What happened? Are you—""Don't." The word came out sharp and hard. "Don't you dare touch me."She actually moved away from me when I reached for her arm, as if my hand burned her."Anna, what is going on?" My mind was racing, trying to understand what was going on. "Did something happen? Did Richard call? Is it—""Stop talking," she said, her voice shaking with barely controlled anger. "Just... stop."She turned and hurried inside as fast as her injured ankle would allow.“Anna!” I called after her.Robert looked confused while Margaret who had come out when she heard the commotion suddenly looked worried.I quickly followed Anna.The moment I entered the
Sweet Temptation Chapter 39: Into the Night
(Richard's POV)I put my phone down after ending the call with Anna, and the guilt hit me like something heavy falling on my chest.I stared at my phone for a long moment, my hands trembling slightly.I leaned back against the leather seat in the hotel lobby and dragged a hand down my face.While my wife was out there doing charity work to boost my social reputation, I was here in Dubai hiding a pregnant mistress.The thought made something bitter settle in my throat.For the first time in years, I actually felt ashamed of myself.I exhaled heavily and loosened my collar buttons.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath.I looked towards Jessica's room.She still refused to speak with me after last night.She had gone straight to the room and slammed the door violently.I had stood in the hallway, trying to decide whether to follow her and attempt to talk things through.But the look on her face earlier had made it very clear that she did not want to see me.So I had gotten my own room a
Sweet Temptation Chapter 38: Echoes of a Lie
(Anna's POV)We started the lesson and somehow I was able to focus.It wasn't any surprise I enjoyed every single minute of the lesson.Alex was an incredible teacher. He had a way of breaking down complicated business ideas in a simple way.Things that had always seemed complicated suddenly made sense when he explained them."You are a natural at this," Alex said at one point, looking at the analysis I had just completed. "Your instincts are good. You see patterns quickly."Really?" I asked."Really," Alex confirmed. "You are smart, Anna. You always have been. You just have not had the chance to show it."Pride swelled inside my chest.No one had ever called me smart before.Beautiful? Yes.But not smart.Richard especially never cared enough to notice.He barely even allowed me to be in a table where business is being discussed.But Alex…He was different.He explained things patiently and whenever I got confused, he never made me feel stupid for not understanding.Instead, he wou
Sweet Temptation Chapter 37: Just a Condo Away
(Anna's POV)The entire drive, I kept stealing glances at Alex.And the annoying thing was that he caught me every single time.“I'm afraid I'll melt away if you keep staring at me like that,” he said with a small laugh, his eyes still fixed on the road.I folded my arms. “Then tell me where we’re going.”“No.”I groaned dramatically. “You’ve been saying that for the past one hour!”“That’s because you've been asking the same question.”I turned in my seat to glare at him.“You’re unbelievable.”He chuckled softly, that way that made my heart beat faster.God.Even his laugh sounded seductive.I quickly looked away before he noticed the faint blush on my cheeks.The car sped smoothly down the road, leaving the crowded city behind us little by little. The tall buildings slowly disappeared and the traffic noise gradually faded. We were heading completely out of the city."Alex," I said, sitting up straighter. "Where exactly are we going?""It's a surprise." He simply said.My curiosity
