For a few seconds, I just stood there on the driveway, frozen like an idiot, staring at the stunning blonde woman who had just stepped out of the expensive car. Tina’s voice exploded behind me before I could even move.

“Oh my God! Diana! You’re here!”

Tina came running out of the house like she’d been waiting all year for this exact moment. She practically jumped into the woman's arms, giggling, squealing, squeezing her like they were long-lost sisters.

Diana laughed, flipping her perfect hair

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 124-My Wife

    ERIC’S POV The mansion looked the same as it always had…big, cold, and full of lies. I stood outside the heavy front door for a moment, my heart pounding hard in my chest. This was it. The last time I would step foot in this place. The last time I would face the woman who called herself my mother. After today, I was closing this chapter for good. Sabrina waited in the car down the driveway, wearing the simple white dress she had chosen for our small wedding. She was my future. This house? It was nothing but my past. I pushed the door open without knocking. My shoes echoed on the marble floor as I walked into the living room. Mom was there, standing near the big window, staring out like she was waiting for bad news. When she saw me, her face twisted with anger and pain. “Eric!” she yelled, her voice cracking through the quiet house. “How could you do this to your father?!” I stopped a few feet away from her, my hands clenched at my sides. The words didn’t even sting anymore. I fe

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 123-I Know It Now

    SABRINA’S POVThe sound of Diana’s screams faded as Eric’s men dragged her out of the penthouse, her heels scraping against the floor in one last pathetic struggle. The door slammed shut, and suddenly the room felt quieter than it should have. My heart was still racing from everything that had just happened. Watching Eric trick her into confessing felt like justice, but it also left a bitter taste in my mouth. These people…his family, my so-called family…had turned our lives into a battlefield.I turned to Eric. He stood there, tall and strong, his jaw tight like he was still holding back a storm. “I’m sorry about everything I just said,” he murmured, his voice low. “I hated every word. I needed her to break.”I walked over and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. His body relaxed a little under mine. “It’s okay,” I whispered, resting my forehead against his. “I know you were just trying to get her to confess. You did what you had to do. I trust you.”For a moment, the wo

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 122-Only The Beginning

    ERIC’S POVI pushed open the door to the penthouse, the familiar smell of home hitting me right away. My body was still buzzing from the confrontation at the mansion, but seeing Sabrina up and moving around the kitchen eased something tight in my chest. She was at the stove, wearing one of my shirts that reached her thighs, flipping eggs in a pan. The sight should have been normal, peaceful even. But after last night, it made my heart ache. She was trying so hard to act okay.“Hey,” I said softly, closing the door behind me. “You should be resting, baby.”She turned and gave me a small smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I’m fine, Eric. Seriously. I wanted to make us breakfast.”I walked over and watched her for a second. Her hands were shaking slightly as she stirred the food. I knew that look. She was trying to distract herself, to push the horror away by doing something normal. I couldn’t let her carry it alone.“I know you,” I said gently, reaching past her to turn off the stove. “

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 121-You're Not My Family

    ERIC’S POVThe drive back to the penthouse felt like it took forever, even though the streets were empty at this hour. Sabrina sat beside me, wrapped in my jacket, her hand still gripping mine like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. She hadn’t said much since naming Tina and Diana, just occasional shaky breaths. Every time she shivered, my chest tightened with fresh rage. Those women…my own sister and the one my mother pushed on me…had tried to destroy the best thing in my life. I kept my eyes on the road, but my mind was already planning what came next.We pulled into the underground parking. I killed the engine and came around to her side, lifting her carefully into my arms. She didn’t protest, just rested her head against my shoulder. Her body felt so light, so broken. It killed me.We entered the elevator and when we reached the door I opened it and carried her inside. The penthouse was quiet and dark, the city lights twinkling through the big windows. It felt

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 120-You're Safe Now

    ERIC’S POVMy foot pressed harder on the gas pedal, the engine roaring like a beast as the car flew down the dark roads. The security footage from Sabrina’s father’s house kept replaying in my head on loop. I’d watched it with Sarah and Gina standing there nervously beside me. Sabrina walking out fast, looking broken. Then a black van pulling up just outside the gate. A man grabbing her from behind, clamping something over her face. She fought hard, but they took her. The plate number was blurry but visible enough. These amateurs hadn’t even tried to hide it properly.“Track it now!” I had barked into the phone to my men the second I got back in the car. Johnny, my head of security, was already on it with the team. “I don’t care how you do it. Find that van!”The tracker pinged twenty minutes later. An abandoned house on the outskirts of the city, half an hour away. My blood boiled hotter with every mile. Who the hell would kidnap her? Someone connected to my mess with Mom and Jonatha

  • Tempted By The Sweetest Sin   Chapter 119-Get a Life!

    SABRINA’S POVCold water slammed into my face like a bucket of ice, shocking me awake with a sharp gasp. I choked and sputtered, my whole body jerking forward. My lungs burned as I tried to breathe, water dripping down my neck and soaking into my hoodie. Everything was dark. A rough bag still covered my head, the fabric scratchy against my skin and smelling like dust. My heart hammered wildly as panic set in. Where was I? What happened?I tried to move, but thick ropes bit into my wrists and ankles. I was tied to a chair…hard wood that dug into my back. The air felt damp and cold, like a basement or some forgotten room. My head throbbed from whatever they’d used to knock me out. The chemical smell still lingered in my nose.Footsteps echoed nearby. Two pairs. Then the bag was ripped off my head in one rough pull. Bright light stung my eyes, and I blinked hard, trying to focus. When my vision cleared, my stomach dropped like I’d fallen from a cliff.Diana stood right in front of me, ar

    ERIC’S POVThe moment he stepped into my room, something in the air shifted.My stepfather always carried this heavy, invisible weight with him—like the smell of expensive cologne mixed with old anger. Tonight, it felt even worse. He closed the door with a slow, deliberate click, and for a second,

    The sun was warm on my skin, but my heart felt heavy.I sat by the resort pool, watching the blue water shimmer under the afternoon light. The sound of waves crashing in the distance mixed with the quiet hum of cicadas. It was peaceful—too peaceful.I wanted to swim. God, I wanted to so badly.But
