Convincing Reese to meet with his parents wasn’t difficult. He made her understand that they were trying to set him up with someone else and that she needed to be introduced to them as his fiancée. Reese, not wanting to have her man taken away from her, agreed instantly. She flew to New York the following day, not only to be introduced to Axel’s parents but also to go see her mom as she had promised. Knowing her mom, she knew she was going to ask to see her man, and she couldn’t keep lying to her. Perhaps it was high time she introduced Axel to her parents. But that would mean telling Axel the truth about her identity. She was going to do that, but not after their dinner with his parents tonight. Reese was dressed in a black evening dress, while Axel was dressed in a white shirt and beige trousers. His arms wrapped around her waist, they made their way to the dining area, where his parents were already seated by the dining table waiting for them. "Ready?" Axel asked her just befo

The dinner went very smoothly, and they went as far as picking a date for their wedding. They were both ready, and there was no need to waste any more time.After Reese and Axel left the Griffin’s mansion, an awkward silence started growing between them, and they both knew why. They needed to talk a lot of things out. When they entered their hotel room, Axel didn’t waste time asking her all the things he wanted to ask. He shot a question at her the second they entered their hotel room. "Why did you keep that away from me?" He asked as he slipped inside and shut the door. "Keep what away?" She quickly asked, knowing exactly what he was talking about. "Don’t play dumb about it, Reese. You know what I am talking about.""I needed a job and got the opportunity to work at your company. I couldn’t say no." She said as she freed her feet from her shoes. His brows drew together as he inched closer to her. "That doesn’t answer my question. Why didn’t you tell me?""Because..." she scratch

The drive back to the hotel where they had been staying together was a very quiet one, but they kept stealing glances at each other."I want to prepare lunch for you." Axel said as he pulled up to his garage. "What do you want to eat?""Whatever your majesty wants to prepare." Reese said."Come here." He said as he cupped her face and drew her in, crashing his lips on hers."After eating lunch, I would eat you." He said, and she chuckled softly.His phone suddenly beeped, and he picked it up to look at who had sent him a text. It was an image sent from an unknown number, and he wondered who it was and what was sent. He downloaded the image, and his heart dropped to his stomach. The pictures were nudes. Nudes that had Reese’s face on them."What’s wrong?" Reese asked when she saw the sudden change in his expression.He handed the phone to her to see for herself, and her heart almost jumped out of her mouth when she sighted it."I swear this is not me." She quickly defended herself."Thi

Three weeks later, Reese's best friend Lucy flew to New York for Reese’s wedding. She had called her earlier to inform her of her arrival. Reese went to the airport to pick her up, and her face broke into a smile when her eyes landed on Lucy, who was walking out of the airport. Lucy took her glass off when she saw her best friend and smiled. They hugged instantly."Wow! It’s so nice seeing you again, and babe, you look wonderful," Lucy said when they broke the hug. Reese chuckled at her kind words."I’m thrilled to see you too, and thank you." Reese said, and they went over to enter the car that was waiting for them. As soon as they entered the car, the chauffeur ignited the engines, driving them to the hotel premises."How is the preparation going? I know you must be feeling super nervous right now," Lucy asked excitedly, and Reese chuckled slightly, moving the string of hair blocking her sight."Nothing much is planned; I just want to have this done and dusted," Reese said, and her h

Reese confirmed it was Lucy's number, but didn't understand what was going on. Why was a man talking on the phone?"Hello, who are you? I would like to speak with Lucy." She said, trying to ignore every negative thought that ran through her mind."You really are clueless, aren't you?" He chuckled and sniffed."What do you mean by that? Who are you? What did you do to my friend?" Reese asked, feeling frightened. She had been avoiding all these negative occurrences, and that was why she didn't want to get married yet in the first place. Axel had encouraged her to allow them to go on with the wedding, but things got worse. She had thought that the man had decided to leave them alone or that he couldn't get anything on them since they were laying low. But hearing the man's voice sent shivers down her spine, and she felt cold suddenly."If you want your friend alive, you have to get her in a few minutes. I do not care if you are about to start your wedding or not. All I know is that if you
