(Anna's POV)

The moment I stepped into the house, I knew I was angry.

No.

Not angry.

I was furious.

I stormed into the house, my shoes thumping hard against the marble floor as I walked inside the mansion, my chest rising and falling heavily.

I couldn't believe him.

A date?

He was actually out on a date.

The image of him smiling at another woman suddenly flashed inside my head and my stomach twisted violently.

I immediately shook the thought away.

No.

I wasn't jealous.

Infact I didn't care.

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 63: Thorns

    (Isabella's POV)I woke up before my alarm clock went off.The sunlight coming through the large bedroom windows told me it was already morning.I lay on the bed for a few moments and looked at the ceiling of the apartment the company gave me.A few days ago, I would have been over the moon to wake up in a place like this.It was everything I dreamed about.But now I felt trapped.The room was quiet except for the low hum of the air conditioner.Beside me, Michael was still asleep.His loud snoring filled the room.I slowly tried to sit up and winced.My whole body ached.Not the kind of pain that leaves bruises or visible injuries.It was a deep pain inside my muscles and joints that hurt everytime I moved.A subtle reminder of the rough night I had.Slowly, I sat up on the bed and reached for my clock on the small table beside me.7:14 AM.Today was my first day at Anderson Industries.I needed to make sure everything went perfectly.Quietly, I climbed out of bed and headed toward t

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 62: Strings

    (Alex's POV)I sat quietly in the back seat of the car as Dubai's bright city lights flashed past the window.I leaned my head back against the leather seat and looked out the window.Normally, I appreciated views like this.But not today.My mind was preoccupied with the confrontation I had with Richard.The entire ordeal had left me scared.Richard had looked me directly in the eyes and confidently denied everything.Almost convincingly.And that was exactly what bothered me.I knew my son.Maybe not as well as I once did, but I knew when he was not being honest with me.And today?I was sure he was definitely hiding something.But these were just mere suspicions.I had no proof.And without solid proof, there was nothing I could do.After several minutes of silence, I finally looked toward Karl."Did you find anything?"Karl glanced at me through the rearview mirror."No sir."I sighed. A wave of disappointment washing over me.That wasn't what I wanted to hear."Nothing at all?"

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 61: Debt of the Dead

    (Anna's POV)"Mom!"I rushed toward her immediately.She threw her arms around me and cried even harder.The sound shattered my heart.I had not seen my mother cry like this in years. Not since my father's death.Those terrible days when debt collectors seemed to know our names better than our neighbors did."Mom, please..."I wrapped my arms tightly around her."What's wrong?"She continued sobbing. Her shoulders shaking violently.I felt my chest tighten in panic.What could be wrong for mom to be crying this hard?Whatever this was...It was really bad.I guided her back to the couch."Please calm down."My voice was shaking now."What happened?"She couldn't answer.Instead, she buried her face in my shoulder and cried even harder.I looked helplessly at Margaret who stood nearby looking equally worried.She quietly brought a glass of water and handed it to my mother.My mother took it with trembling hands.I sat beside her and gently rubbed her back."It's okay."I repeated softly

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 60: Cracks

    (Richard's POV)For one terrifying second, I forgot how to breathe as my heart slammed violently against my ribs.What was my father doing here of all places?How did he even find me?A thousand possibilities raced through my mind at once.I forced my expression to remain calm.Years of business negotiations had taught me how to perfectly mask my emotions."Dad?"I forced a smile. "This is a surprise."My father studied me carefully."I could say the same thing."His voice remained calm.I swallowed hard."What brings you all the way here?" I asked again.Before answering, he glanced toward Karl."Karl, give us a few minutes."Karl immediately nodded. "Of course, sir."He quietly left the room, shutting the door softly behind him Now it was just the two of us in the room.There was a long stretch of silence.I knew my father well enough to understand that he hadn't flown all the way here for small talk.Then he finally spoke."Where is Jessica?"My heart skipped.I kept my face perfe

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 59: What Are You Hiding?

    (Alex's POV)I stayed in my car, watching, until Anna stepped into the house, the door closing behind her.Only then did I finally let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding.She was safe now.I started the engine and drove off.The moment I pulled away from the curb, I was already reaching for my phone and called Karl.He answered on the first ring."I need a flight tonight," I said immediately. "The private jet. How soon can you arrange it?"A brief pause. "Two hours. Maybe less.""I want it ready as soon as possible," I said. "Yes sir." He quickly responded."And Karl, I need you to meet me at the private terminal personally. You're taking me directly to that location."There was another pause. "Mr. Anderson, are you sure about this? If Richard is involved—""That's exactly why I need to go myself," I interrupted. "I'm not sending anyone else into this situation without knowing exactly what we're dealing with. Get the flight ready. I'll be at the airport within the hour."I hu

  • Sweet Temptation   Chapter 58: Unexpected Visitor

    (Anna's POV)The moment Alex ended the call, I noticed his mood changed.His eyes darkened and his shoulders became tense.I knew immediately something was wrong.I sat up slowly on the couch and watched him as he slipped the phone back into his pocket."Alex?"He blinked and looked at me."Is everything alright?" I asked softly."Yes." He answered immediately.I knew he was lying.Anyone else would have believed him. But not me.I had spent enough time around him to recognize when he was hiding something.And right now?He was definitely hiding something.I wanted to probe more, but I stopped myself.If it was something important, he would tell me.Eventually.I stood up from the couch and walked toward him.The air between us immediately changed.My heartbeat quickened as his gaze dropped briefly to my lips.Slowly, I wrapped my arms around his neck.Neither of us spoke.We both knew exactly what had almost happened before the phone call interrupted us.The memory alone made heat ru
