Sweet Temptation Chapter 78: One in a Thousand Nights
(Anna's POV)"Another one?" I asked as Alex led me upstairs. "Alex, you being here is already the biggest surprise I could ever ask for.""This one's smaller," he said. "But I wanted you to have it."I hugged him even tighter as he carried me through the villa toward a room I hadn't used since we'd arrived.It was a second bedroom, separate from the master suite Richard and I had been sharing.He set me down gently in the doorway.And I gasped.Sitting in the middle of the bed was an enormous teddy bear, three feet tall, soft brown fur, a slightly lopsided smile stitched onto its face that somehow made it more endearing.Beside it, sat a bouquet of flowers in soft purple, their fragrance reaching me even from the doorway."Alex," I breathed.I crossed the room and pulled the bear into my arms, and it was exactly as soft and cuddly as it looked. I buried my face against it for a moment, laughing in pure delight."I didn't know what to get you," Alex said, watching me with an expression
Sweet Temptation Chapter 77: Baby Sitter
(Alex's POV)I held Anna close and took a deep breath of her scent.I could smell the faint scent of her signature lavender perfume mixed with the salty ocean air.I had missed her.Much more than I wanted to admit, even to myself.My arms tightened around her, as I wished this moment would last forever.We both stood there, lost in each other's arms.Eventually I forced myself to loosen my grip. I released a slow breath and stepped back.Her eyes sparkled with so much happiness it made my chest ache.She turned to the guy still standing nearby and thanked him. "Thank you, Tariq. See you tomorrow," she said."Of course, Mrs. Anderson. Goodnight." He nodded and left without asking any questions.After he left, Anna quickly took my hand and pulled me into the villa. "Come inside."I laughed softly. "Yes boss."The moment we stepped inside she turned around excitedly."Okay. Explain."I raised an eyebrow and tried to look innocent."Explain what?"She narrowed her eyes. "Tell me everyth
Sweet Temptation Chapter 76: Something Pleasant
(Anna's POV)I woke up surrounded by shopping bags scattered everywhere on the bed I had fallen asleep amidst the mess, after crying and consoling myself last night.My stomach growled in protest, a cruel reminder that I didn't eat dinner before I slept off.Slowly, I sat up.My head felt heavy and my eyes were swollen from crying.I looked around.The room was a mess.Shopping bags scattered everywhere. Dozens of them.Some were on the floor, some on the couch and the rest on the bed.An entire day's worth of impulsive purchases scattered across the room like evidence of a crime.I dragged myself around the room collecting the bags one after another and carried them into the massive wardrobe.I shoved it inside and closed it, without bothering to arrange or fold anything properly. I didn't have the energy. The bags could stay crumpled for all I cared. None of it mattered right now. Out of sight, out of mind.Then I walked into the bathroom.The sight that greeted me in the mirror
Sweet Temptation Chapter 75: It's Complicated
(Alex's POV)Her lips were soft, and I could still taste the cocktail she drank earlier.It wasn't a long kiss.And it completely caught me off guard.My entire body locked in place and to my dismay I felt...Nothing.There was no spark. No fire. None of the desperate, consuming desire that had overtaken me in every single kiss I had shared with Anna.It just seemed normal, like a kiss shared by cool friends.Claire seemed to realize it immediately because she quickly pulled away.Her eyes widened. "Oh my God."She looked horrified. "I'm so sorry."I blinked.The cheerful mood from earlier disappeared instantly replaced by an awkward silence.Claire looked like she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole."I shouldn't have done that," she said quickly. "I don't know what came over me."She laughed nervously. Then covered her face with both hands."This is so embarrassing."I couldn't help chuckling.That only made her groan louder."Please don't laugh.""I'm trying not to
Sweet Temptation Chapter 74: Cold Lips
(Alex's POV)I stared at my phone long after the call ended.The screen had already gone dark, but my mind was still replaying Anna's voice.I knew she must have felt terrible when I shunned her and asked her to mind her business when she inquired about Claire.Had I been too hard on her?Two days ago, I had been worried sick when she didn't show up for her lessons.I had called her but she wasn't taking my calls, and wasn't returning them either.I had been convinced something was wrong.Had she learned something about Jessica? Had Richard done something?Or did she simply need some space after everything that had happened between us?I had actually gotten into my car and was ready to drive to the estate to check on her myself when Richard called."Dad," he said in that excited voice that indicated he had good news. "I wanted to tell you something. Anna and I are going to the Maldives."I had blinked in surprise."Maldives?""Yes." He laughed. "I promised her a romantic trip when I
Sweet Temptation Chapter 73: Alone in Paradise
(Anna's POV)The moment Richard and Isabella left, I practically flew upstairs still clutching the gold card in my hand like it was some kind of magical item.A premium gold card which meant unlimited spending limit.I laughed to myself.If someone had told me few years back that this would one day be my life, I would have called them crazy.Back then, my biggest concern had been whether there would be enough money to buy groceries and how we would survive before my next paycheck.Now I was standing in one of the most beautiful places in the world holding a card that could buy anything.Life's really unpredictable.I quickly changed into a light floral dress, took my sunglasses and tied my hair into a loose ponytail.By the time I came downstairs, Tariq was already waiting."Mrs. Anderson," he said with a smile when he saw me coming. "You look very excited.""I am." I said excitedly.He glanced at the card in my hand. Then his eyes widened."Is that??"I laughed. "Yes it is."His hands
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
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 starte
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 m
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
