All Chapters of Sweet Temptation: Chapter 81 - Chapter 86

(Anna's POV)The week passed very quickly, like sand through my fingers.We spent every day under the warm sun, laughing, smiling, and enjoying every moment together. Most of the time, Alex was holding my hand, and I never wanted those moments to end.On the second day of Alex arriving, we went parasailing. At first I screamed because I was so scared. But after a while, my fear disappeared and I began enjoying it and even screamed in excitement.Flying high above the bright blue sea was one of the most amazing things I had ever experienced. From up there, our villa looked very small like a tiny dot.The next day we visited a local market. We looked at many handmade items like baskets and jewelry. I was not very good at bargaining, but Alex did it very well. Before we left, he bought me a small bracelet made from tiny seashells. I loved it so much that I wore it every day.Another day, we went deep-sea fishing. I had no idea what I was doing. When I finally caught a very big fis

I didn't even want to know what caused it.For a long moment, I couldn't believe this was the same apartment

(Anna's POV)I pressed redial for what had to be the hundredth time, listening to the same hollow ringing before it inevitably clicked over to voicemail.*You've reached Alexander Anderson. Please leave a message.*I didn't leave one. There wasn't anything left to say that I hadn't already said in the previous ninety-nine attempts.I set my phone down on the table and pressed my brows in frustration.It has been three days since we returned from Maldives, and Alex had completely shut me out.Every message I sent remained unread. Voicemails upon voicemails.He didn't take any of my calls and didn't call back either.I had driven to the condo twice, hoping that seeing me in person would make him soften his heart and hear me out.But both times he had refused to open the door and allowed me to knock until I was tired and left.I'd never seen him this angry before.He was determined to shut me out completely.I leaned back against the garden chair on our balcony, staring blankly at the f
