Irresistible Temptation Stone Cold II
Across town, Gerald paced in the park, his mind racing. The arranged meeting didn’t sit right with him. Victoria’s tone in the message was uncharacteristically curt, and her sudden urgency was a far cry from their last tense interaction. He had come prepared, though—he was going to tell her everything he knew that would definitely blow Nelson’s schemes wide open.At exactly 10 a.m., Gerald spotted Nelson approaching, his stride confident and deliberate. Gerald’s eyes narrowed. “Where’s Victoria?”Nelson’s smile was all charm, but his eyes carried a glint of malice. “She couldn't make it, she sent me instead. In the meantime, why don’t we cut to the chase? You’ve been lying to her, Gerald. Manipulating her. That ends today.”Gerald clenched his fists, his temper rising. “You don’t get to play the savior, Nelson. I know exactly what you’ve been doing—feeding her doubts, twisting her reality. She deserves the truth.”Nelson tilted his head, his smile widening. “The truth? That’s a subjec

Nelson’s words, brazen and unapologetic, sent a jolt through Victoria’s body. Her breath hitched as her heart began to race—not with anger, but with an undeniable spark of something deeper, something primal that she couldn’t ignore. His audacity, his raw confidence, and the sheer power in his tone ignited a fire within her, one she hadn’t felt in a long time.She swallowed hard, trying to find her voice, but it came out as a whisper. “Nelson…”He stepped closer, his presence commanding as he tilted her chin upward, his fingers grazing her skin. His voice softened, but the intensity remained. “You’re overthinking, Victoria. Let me remind you what it feels like to let go… to feel alive.”Her body betrayed her protests, leaning into his touch as her worries, fears, and doubts began to dissolve in the heat of the moment. His lips brushed hers, not with urgency but with a slow, deliberate claim that sent a shiver down her spine. The weight of her concerns faded away, replaced by a desperat

Gerald sat in the quiet café, his eyes glued to the entrance. He stirred his coffee absently, glancing at his watch for the fifth time in ten minutes. Victoria was late—later than she’d ever been for any of their previous meetings. His fingers drummed against the table as unease settled over him.She wouldn’t just not show up, he thought. Something’s wrong.The minutes dragged on, each one amplifying his worry. Finally, he pulled out his phone and dialed her number. The ringing seemed to stretch endlessly, each second tightening the knot in his chest.“Hello?” Victoria’s voice came through, sounding distant and flat.Relief flooded him for a brief moment. “Victoria! Where are you? I’ve been waiting for over an hour. Are you okay?”There was a pause—just long enough to make Gerald’s stomach churn. When she finally spoke, her voice was calm but cold, like a practiced script. “I won’t be coming, Gerald.”The words hit him like a punch to the gut. “What? Why? We agreed to talk, to clear th

Mildred sat across from Nelson in a dimly lit hotel room where they had just had sex. Having sex with Nelson was like medicine to her, if she stopped she'll fall ill. She could tell she was becoming obsessed with having him inside her always, but she really couldn't help herself. No wonder it hurts that he still chose to Be with Victoria, despite how willing she was to do whatever he wants. What was it about Victoria that he couldn't let go? What made her so special? The faint scent of expensive cologne mingled with the aroma of his whiskey clouded the atmosphere. She sipped her drink slowly, her sharp eyes watching him over the rim of her glass. How she had fallen for this man, she couldn't tell, but she needed to know why he had chosen Victoria over her.“You seem relaxed tonight,” she said, her voice smooth and measured.Nelson smirked, lounging back in his chair. “Why wouldn’t I be? Everything’s falling into place.”Mildred raised a brow, leaning forward slightly. “Including Vict

Mildred stopped in her tracks and lowered her phone, her mind racing. She replayed Nelson’s words, the threats dripping from his tone, and the confidence in his voice as he spoke of marrying Victoria and claiming her inheritance. For a moment, the memory of his touch mingled with the weight of his secrets, leaving her torn between her growing obsession and the nagging voice of her conscience.She slipped her phone back into her purse and hailed a cab. As the car weaved through the city streets, Mildred stared out of the window, her reflection blurred against the neon lights outside. She couldn’t let Nelson get away with this, but she also couldn’t act recklessly. He was powerful, dangerous, and far too calculating for her to make a careless move.Her mind drifted to Victoria, she was naive about everything, and Nelson sought to exploit. Victoria used to be her very good friend until things went south between them, but she couldn’t shake the guilt gnawing at her. Was it jealousy fuelin

Victoria stood at the edge of the grand fountain in the city square, the warm evening breeze rustling her hair. The square was unusually crowded for a weeknight, with people milling about, their attention drawn to something unseen. She glanced at her phone, puzzled by Nelson’s cryptic text earlier: "Meet me here at 7. Trust me."As the clock struck the hour, the soft hum of string instruments filled the air. A quartet emerged from behind a set of velvet curtains that had been hastily erected near the fountain. The crowd hushed as the first notes of a familiar romantic tune echoed through the square.Victoria turned, startled, and found Nelson approaching her. He was impeccably dressed in a tailored navy suit, his confident stride drawing every eye in the square. In his hand was a single white rose, which he presented to her with a smile that seemed uncharacteristically genuine.“What’s all this?” Victoria asked, her voice barely audible over the music.Nelson took her hand, guiding he

Gerald was jolted awake by the persistent ring of his phone, the shrill sound cutting through the quiet of his dimly lit bedroom. Groaning, he reached out blindly for the device on his nightstand, his fingers fumbling before finally grasping it. Squinting at the screen, he saw a name he hadn’t expected to see: Becca.The sight of her name stirred mixed emotions. It had been years since they’d last spoken, their lives diverging after he moved away with Victoria to start a family. They had once been close—friends who occasionally flirted with the idea of being something more, though it never materialized.Curious and slightly disoriented, Gerald swiped to answer. “Becca?” he said, his voice thick with sleep.“Gerald,” her familiar voice came through, warm and vibrant, tinged with concern. “I hope I didn’t wake you.”“You did,” he admitted, sitting up and running a hand through his hair. “But it’s fine. What’s going on?”There was a brief pause before she spoke again, her tone careful. “

Gerald sat at his kitchen table, nursing a lukewarm cup of coffee and scrolling aimlessly through his phone. The house was eerily quiet, save for the occasional hum of the refrigerator. He had spent the past few hours avoiding the news and social media, unwilling to see yet another update about Victoria and Nelson’s engagement. The thought of it was enough to make his stomach churn.A sharp knock at the door jolted him from his thoughts. He frowned, setting his phone down and rising to answer it.When he opened the door, a man in a neatly pressed suit stood there, holding a leather-bound folder.“Gerald Banks?” the man asked.“Yes,” Gerald replied cautiously.The man handed him the folder with a practiced, professional smile. “You’ve been served. Have a good day.”Gerald stared after the man as he walked briskly to a waiting car and drove off. Slowly, he closed the door and looked down at the folder in his hands. His name was printed neatly on the front, but it was the sender’s name t

The air inside the courtroom was thick with tension. Every seat was filled, and the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. Reporters sat at the back, cameras ready to capture the moment.Victoria’s heart pounded as she scanned the room in search of Gerald. She hadn't seen or spoken with him ever since that day he left.Mildred. Bianca. Becca.They were all seated around her, to give moral support.And then—her eyes landed on Gerald, sitting way behind in the courtroom, he looked so unkempt with overgrown beard.My heart, went out to him. But for now we were all here to witness the downfall of Nelson Brown.This was it.The end of Nelson Brown.At the defendant’s table, Nelson sat motionless, his jaw clenched. His once-powerful presence had diminished—no longer the untouchable crime lord he once was. He had lost weight, his face was gaunt, and his expensive suit did nothing to hide the desperation in his eyes.But it wasn’t over yet.The prosecution was just getting started.The attorne

Nelson Brown sat in the small, dimly lit common area of the prison, staring at the old television bolted to the wall.His hands tightened into fists as the news anchor repeated the words."Sources say this footage directly contradicts previous statements given by officials tied to the case, raising questions about a possible cover-up. Nelson Brown, currently serving time for—"The cup in Nelson’s hand shattered against the floor.The entire room fell silent.The other inmates knew better than to speak when Nelson was angry.A guard approached cautiously. “Brown. You good?”Nelson slowly turned his head, his expression terrifyingly calm. “Phone call. Now.”The guard hesitated—then nodded, leading him to the secured phone.Nelson punched in the number with controlled precision.It rang once. Twice.Julian picked up."You have something to tell me?" Nelson’s voice was low, lethal.Julian kept his tone neutral. “You saw the news.”“I did. And I want to know who the hell betrayed me.”Juli
Irresistible Temptation Icing On The Cake II
Victoria opened the door just enough for Julian to slip inside.The room was dark except for the faint glow of the bedside lamp. She glanced toward the bed—Gerald and Cherish still fast asleep.She turned to Julian. “You said we need to talk.”Julian studied her, his expression unreadable. “Yeah,” He exhaled sharply, his grip tightening on the door handle. “Nelson wants you dead. All of you. Including your daughter.” Her breath hitched. “Why are you telling me this?”"Because I can't bring myself to follow through with his orders." Julian answered."Then help me stop him." Victoria pleaded.A bitter chuckle escaped his lips. “You think it’s that simple?” He took a step closer, lowering his voice. “You don’t understand the kind of man Nelson is. The kind of power he still has.”“I understand just fine,” Victoria shot back. “But I also know you hesitated.”Julian’s eyes flickered.“If you were really as far gone as Nelson thinks you are,” she continued, “we wouldn’t be having this conv
Irresistible Temptation Icing On The Cake
Victoria’s breath hitched.The weight of Gerald’s words settled over her like a suffocating blanket. The cameras. The interrogation room. The truth recorded in grainy, inescapable footage.She gripped the sheets beneath her, her heart pounding so hard it threatened to crack her ribs.“Victoria?” Gerald’s voice was steady, but his eyes were sharp, searching her face. “You okay?”No. She wasn’t.Because if they got access to those tapes, Nelson’s threat would be undeniable. It would be proof—hard evidence that he was still pulling strings from behind bars.But it wouldn’t be all it revealed.Her body stiffened at the memory, shame crawling up her spine like a cold, unwelcome touch.The way Nelson had backed her into a corner. The way she had let herself get lost, let herself fall.She couldn’t let Gerald see that.“I—I don’t know if that’s the best idea,” she stammered, forcing herself to look away. “Even if we get the footage, who’s to say it won’t get buried? Nelson has people in his
Irresistible Temptation Blocked III
The car ride to the daycare was filled with tense silence. Gerald gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white, his jaw clenched in unspoken frustration. Becca sat in the backseat with Victoria, her hand resting over Victoria’s in quiet reassurance.Victoria barely noticed.Her thoughts were consumed by one name.Nelson.She knew him too well. This wasn’t a coincidence. It wasn’t bad luck. It was him.Her heart pounded as she thought of Cherish, of what could have happened if they had been home.Gerald suddenly slammed his palm against the wheel, breaking the silence."This doesn't make sense!" he burst out. "Why would someone do this? Who the hell would want to burn our home down?"Victoria pressed her lips together, looking out the window. She wanted to tell him. She needed to tell him. But how?Would he even believe her?Nelson was behind bars. To Gerald, he was already dealt with, out of their lives. But Victoria knew he still had power. She had felt his influen

Victoria’s phone buzzed against the table, cutting through the low hum of the café. She glanced at the screen—Becca.Frowning, she picked up. "Hey, Becca, what’s—""Victoria! Where are you?" Becca’s voice was frantic, breathless."Why?" she questioned."Your apartment—it's on fire!" Becca screamed with terror in her voice.Victoria’s heart slammed against her ribs. "What?""I-I don’t know how it happened, but it’s bad! The whole building is up in flames—firefighters just arrived, but it’s spreading fast!"The world tilted.Victoria's fingers clenched around the phone, her breath hitching in disbelief."Is Cherish with you?" Becca asked with panic."She’s at daycare," Victoria quickly reassured her. "She’s safe. And Gerald's here with me."But nothing felt safe anymore.Victoria shot up from her seat, nearly knocking over her coffee. Gerald looked at her in alarm. "What’s wrong?"She could barely get the words out. "Our apartment… it's on fire."Gerald’s face went pale. "What?""We hav

Victoria sat in the quiet café, her fingers tapping anxiously against the wooden table as she stared at her phone. The moment Mildred left, she knew what she had to do. No more hiding. No more lying. Gerald deserved the truth, even if it shattered everything they were trying to rebuild.She took a deep breath and dialed his number.It rang twice before he answered. “Hey, sweetheart.” His voice was warm, familiar, and it sent a pang of guilt through her.“Gerald,” she said, her voice steady but tense. “Can you meet me at the café? I need to talk to you.”A pause. Then, “Is everything okay?”Victoria hesitated. “Just come. Please.”Another pause. Then, “I’ll be there in twenty.”She hung up and exhaled, trying to prepare herself for what she was about to do.No more games, Victoria. Just the truth.Twenty minutes later, Gerald walked through the door. He spotted her immediately, his expression unreadable as he approached. Dressed in his usual crisp button-down and dark slacks, he looked
Irresistible Temptation Frozen III
Victoria sat in the corner of a quiet café, her fingers absently stirring the cappuccino in front of her. She had barely taken a sip, her mind too restless, her stomach too unsettled.The weight of last night’s dream lingered, thick and suffocating, and she knew she couldn’t keep it bottled up any longer. That's why she had called Mildred, and set up a meeting here.She needed advice, and maybe Mildred could give her. She was the only one out of her friends fully involved int the mess Nelson created.A few minutes later, the door swung open, and Mildred stepped inside, her sharp eyes scanning the café before landing on Victoria. She approached with that same effortless confidence, sliding into the chair across from her.“You sounded urgent on the phone,” Mildred said, raising a brow. “What’s going on?”Victoria hesitated. Now that she was here, she wasn’t sure where to start.Mildred leaned back, crossing her arms. “Does this have to do with Nelson?”Victoria let out a slow breath. “I
Irresistible Temptation Frozen II
Nelson sat on the edge of his narrow cot, elbows resting on his knees, fingers interlocked. The dim fluorescent light buzzed above, casting sharp shadows across the cold, gray walls of his cell.His recent meeting with Victoria still haunted him. How could she say those words to her? Has she forgotten who he was?"You’re done. You’re nothing."His jaw clenched. His hands balled into fists.She thought she had won.She thought she could walk away, rebuild her perfect little life, and leave him to rot in this cage."You lose."The hell he did.A slow, dark smile curved his lips as an idea formed in his mind.Nelson stood, cracking his neck before stepping toward the cell bars. He spotted one of the new inmates—scrawny, nervous, desperate. The type who’d do anything for protection.Perfect."Hey, kid," Nelson murmured, leaning against the bars. The young man looked up, wary."You want to make yourself useful?" Nelson continued, his voice smooth, deceptively calm. "Do me a little favor, a
