บททั้งหมดของ His Tempting Obsession: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Schuyler's P. O. V."Heard you went to see a doctor the other day?" Marisse smirked at me in an insulting way. "You look horribly close to your own death bed, I won't be surprised if you tell everyone that you're sick."Words fly pretty fast, huh? I still wonder how she found out.My fist balled under the table while looking at her, but I still forced myself to smile at her."Don't worry, Marisse. I'm perfectly healthy," I took a sip from the juice Anne prepared for us."You're far from that.." She eyed me from my head to my body. "But, anyway.. I didn't come here to check on you. I was merely curious.." She played her fingers at the table while leaning on her hand. "What do you really have to make Ezekiel marry you?"I straightened my back after hearing her question. "What do you mean?""How did you make Ezekiel agree to marry you—""I was the one who agreed to marry him—""B*llsh*t!" She snapped at me. "You think I'd really fall for that lie?"I thinned my lips before licking my bot

Schuyler's P. O. V.I was roaming around the house when I noticed that the maids were keeping their distance from me. They looked worried and would do their job fast like they're waiting for me to leave them alone.I'm not surprised, maybe the words have spread in this house already. I took a deep breath before going to Ezekiel's office when I saw the door slightly opened.I quietly pushed it open and found Hunter searching something on the pile of folders in Ezekiel's table. He was separating everything with a furrowed brow and sharp eyes. Ever since that argument we had the last time, Hunter and I have never spoken to each other again and I'm still mad at him for everything he said to me. I was about to just leave him alone when he looked up and our eyes met."Mr. Riego's not here, he's in the harden and talking to his mother," Hunter quickly said before he lowered his eyes and focused on the folders again.I rolled my eyes in the air. 'Who's asking?' I turned my back and closed th

Schuyler's P. O. V.When we arrived at the party, people's eyes were on so that I felt conscious of my look. No one informed me first hand that we're going to an event like this and it was too late for me to react further after hearing it from Ezekiel, especially after what I just witnessed!Ezekiel was greeted by many, but he never stopped to greet anyone and no one also dared to ask him who I was despite the obvious curiosity in their eyes.From afar, I saw Alana and her family hanging around with their own circle. I got nervous for a moment so I stopped walking and face Ezekiel who glanced at me. "I-I need to use the restroom, please?" I asked him.Ezekiel furrowed a brow slightly before he calmly nodded at me. "Want me to go with you?"My cheeks burned because of his question and the sudden thoughts in my mind. For a moment, I saw him smirking lightly at me before his face changed back to being emotionless again."I-I can manage," I let go of his arm before turning my back on him

Schuyler's P. O. V."Baby, don't play dumb with me." Ezekiel looked deep in my eyes. "You know what will happen if I get pissed.""Ezekiel, I don't know what you're saying." I furrowed my brows. "It's you who's at fault here, not me. So, don't divert the topic and be honest with me!" He didn't speak, as if he was trying to figure out something by carefully looking at me. "When you force me to marry you, I clearly know that you're not just anybody."I saw him clenching his jaw before he nodded slowly, but still remained silent."You have a gun that night.. You hold it as if it was a part of you, like it was just a simple thing and not something that could kill me back then." I looked up in the sky while trying to find the right words to say to him at this point. "You have men, all with knowledge to kill anyone. You have Hunter to carry around and don't just do what a mere right hand would do. And above that.." I looked back at him. "You have enemies wanting to kill me for being connect

Schuyler's P. O. V.I knew that agreeing to come here was a mistake. I shouldn't have ever come here, but if Ezekiel wanted me in this place, all I can do is just do what he says. 'Isn't he always the one in charge of everything?' I sarcastically asked myself.Hunter glanced at me from the driver's seat as he slowly parked the car and people were staring right at us. I saw when the familiar bodyguards of Ezekiel surrounded the car and pushed away everyone on the way as Hunter finally stopped. I looked outside the window and saw nothing unusual at all.Well, except the fact that we're in the freaking mountain and in the middle of a forest! What has gotten into Ezekiel to have such a place in this kind of area?!"You're probably wondering, right?" Hunter suddenly asked, but I didn't look at him. "The Riego's are known for living an extravagant life, almost the same with the nobilities or even better than that, but something like this exists in a secluded place?" Hunter laughed at his o
