One Night With The Seductress Chapter 15 - Secret Mission
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVUp until this point, even though I’ve heard the side of Airi, I still couldn’t believe what I discovered. I can’t properly process how much Greyson has drastically changed his attitude to be this pathetic. He might have his share of reasons as well as why he had to play around with women as he pleased, or whatever it was that led him to the edge of the cliff to only be left with that kind of choice.Airi suggested that I spend a few days and nights in their house while I still haven’t found one to stay in, but I politely refused and told her that I'd be the one to settle things out. I heaved out a loud sigh in realization that I lied just for the sake of not getting her involved with Greyson any longer. In fact, I didn’t even have a single idea of how I would be able to survive the rest of the day.“Have you really made up your mind?” Airi asked, in an attempt to persuade me.I nodded my head once. “Yeah. Besides, it wouldn’t look too good if he found out that
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 16 - A Hoax?
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI know that my movements have been terrible since I’m scheming something hideous, but it doesn’t seem like Greyson even cared. “You’re trying to seduce me, aren’t you?” he whispered to my ear as he was pulling me towards the entrance of his bar until we finally reached the same room that both Greyson and Kim used. “You were never the kind of girl who had an interest in putting on lipstick. And besides, I’ve taken a lot of women to bed already; I can see the lust hidden deep within your eyes even if you don’t speak.”I tried so hard to hide the fact that I was nervous about what else he would be able to notice. “Everything and everyone can change, and fortunately, I’m one of those people. It would be a disgrace if I’d be stuck as the same person that you once knew.” I reasoned my way out, which I soon followed with a wink and a bite on my lip.There was a short pause on Greyson’s facial expression before he smirked, and that was the signal for me to commence my
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 17 - Romantic Night
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV“What’s the point of getting your hopes high that Greyson will still go back to you? You should get over it and move on, Airi. The past is past. There are still plenty of men out there who’s way better than him either way,” I murmured, despite knowing that whatever I’d say would actually have no effect on her or whatever it was that she’s scheming.“You’re one to talk, Angelique. Don’t forget that we’re basically in the same situation—stop pretending as if Greyson has serious romantic affection for you,” Airi grunted while she was staring at her fingernails with her eyes full of amusement, as if to tell me that she really doesn’t care about a word that I’ll say. “I appreciate your help, though.” A smirk was shown on her lips as she walked closer to where Greyson was.I’m getting this weird feeling that I’m somehow inside a dream that I started against my will. This wasn’t the first time that I felt this way. It was the same as the day that Greyson gave me that r
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 18 - His Lie
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV“Have you decided what you’re going to do about your parents now, Angelique?” Greyson questioned me the instant that he opened his eyes.He has been asleep for quite a while now, and I was the first one to awaken because of the noise that kept coming from my own stomach. We were stranded inside his bar and have no other place to go with this pouring rain that’s been going on for weeks now.His query was based on the recent news that was announced this morning. The detectives have been able to locate the bodies of both my mother and my father, prior to what Greyson told me about my mom. The forensics team was also able to detect some fingerprints on the crime scene, which means that it wouldn’t be long before they would figure out whose fingerprints those were, wherein I might actually be at risk, especially since I’m included in their list of suspects.“I don’t think that I should worry about anything just yet. They would most probably wait for my damn mother t
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 19 - Building B
ANGELIQUE SLOAN'S POVMoments of silence occurred between Greyson and me right after I heard what he said. I was confused about whether I should believe what he said or have doubts, considering how that woman from earlier told me that my mother's inside the other building. "Are you sure? Did you already search thoroughly inside or ask some of the employees there?" I inquired, in hopes that he would simply nod his head as a response.However, Greyson walked ahead of me, returning to the place where I first lived. "Let's go home. We haven't eaten a single meal yet, and besides, I'm already getting exhausted," he said, totally ignoring the question that I had.As much as I didn't want to disobey his order, I stood still in the same spot where he left me. "You can go first. I still have to double check here in case you missed a spot," I said with a straight face so that he could sense that I wasn't kidding around.I noticed how he furrowed his brows. "Don't you trust me, Angelique?" he a
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 20 - The Caller
ANGELIQUE SLOAN'S POVAs soon as the body above the bed was illuminated with Greyson's phone, I screamed as I lost balance and fell to the ground, where I bathed in the woman's blood. My mind couldn't comprehend the current situation at all. It doesn't make sense how the police officer, Joy Alcaraz, was inside the room that's designated for my mother. And most of all, she's no longer breathing. There's no more way for either Greyson and I to save her, or at least those medical folks downstairs."W-w-what's going on here, Greyson? Why is that lady there instead of my mother?" I asked in a hysterical state. "You probably know what occurred here judging by what you said before we entered this building, Greyson. Explain everything to me in detail right now," I commanded him, trying to sound like I wasn't about to go nuts."This is why I stopped you earlier. The people inside here aren't as sane as you thought. They all have loose screws in their heads and no one would be able to wake th
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 21 - Her Compassion
ANGELIQUE SLOAN'S POVThe past few days felt too ordinary. Knowing how the detective, Joy, was already dead, I could rest assured that no one else out there would keep on interrogating me as the prime suspect. Though I still have to be wary of anyone who might have a clue about my secret, Greyson still has the video as evidence, and that’s the only string that keeps us together for now.“Where’d you run off to? Didn’t I tell you not to go out without my permission?” Greyson asked, then crossed his arms in front of his chest.I sighed and copied his current posture. “What did you expect me to do? Stand by in the same room while watching you being so intimate with everyone else?” The delivery of my message sounded kind of harsh, so I avoided having eye contact with him.His hand reached for my chin, forcing me to look at him. “What’s so wrong with that? We’re not officially a couple, and I believe that our declaration of being engaged to one another can now be put on hold or totally re
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 22 - Hideout
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVCompared to the hospital that Greyson and I went to in search of my filthy mother, this place is much better. All of the medical staff here seemed to be occupied with all of the patients that come and go, unlike in those two buildings, where they didn’t care if anyone inside lost their lives."Angelique, over here," Lian said from afar. Turning around to find her, I saw her at the edge of the second floor, waving at me and sending me a gesture to go up.She brought me to her father's ward the instant that I stepped on the same floor as her. As I anticipated, her father was asleep. "Is he in a coma?" I softly asked. I placed the fruits above the table that was beside his bed.Lian nodded once. “He’s been unconscious, and his pulse keeps getting weaker each day. Mom and I couldn’t sign the operation agreement because of the fact that we lack in terms of finance.” She had a blank expression, but her eyes were clearly in agony as she watched her father fight for his

One Night With The Seductress Chapter 42 - The Challenge
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVMy eyes remained at the center of the front page. Greyson pulled over, giving me time to react to what I discovered. “What is the meaning of this, Lian, Greyson? If this is some kind of prank, I’d rather you stop it now before I get furious,” I said in between my heavy breathings.“Don’t overreact, Angelique. It’s not like this is the first time that you’ve gotten yourself involved with crimes,” Lian mumbled, insulting me right in front of Greyson. “Besides, you’re not the one who’s going to do whatever’s written in those papers. I just showed them to you so you wouldn’t doubt your husband’s words,” she added.Greyson invited the two of us to go out for a while and get some fresh air, noticing that the tension between Lian and me began to worsen. He opened the door for me but not for Lian, which made me slightly grin. Fortunately, there was a stall open nearby with no customers, so we were freely allowed to stay inside. Lian and I watched Greyson from the corner
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 41 - The Connection
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVNow that I think about it, Lian was also the person who brought me closer to my mother once more. She was also the reason why I got to encounter Gwynneth and realized Greyson's relationship with her. There’s something about Lian that’s making me convinced that she might have an underlying connection with either Gabriela or Greg... or maybe Greyson himself.“Where did you hear about Lian?” Gabriela asked; her voice seemed a bit shaky, or maybe it was just my imagination. “Don’t tell me that Greyson also got her involved in his nightclub?” she added.I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know. I saw her in front of the elevator and felt that she was somehow familiar. When I thought deeply, I remembered her name,” I lied, maintaining a straight face so she wouldn’t sense that I was bluffing. “Is she an employee here?”Gabriela avoided having eye contact with me, and it took her a couple of seconds before she gave me a response. “She’s not yet one of our employees. I hea
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 40 - The Inheritance
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe two of us utilized the elevator to head up to Gabriela’s office. The other employees were all staring at Greyson, which somehow made me feel uncomfortable. However, Greyson suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder. “Can you please give space for her in the corner? We’re heading up to the 19th floor,” he said at the same time that they stepped away. “And stop giving me those sticky gazes; it’s disrespectful to my wife,” he added.After a few minutes, the elevator doors opened as the bell rang, signaling that we were already at our destination. My expectations were completely different. I thought that there would be luxurious people waiting in the hallway, but there was no one. The path was empty, and only the two of us were creating sounds of our footsteps.“Why are you still calling me your wife, Greyson? Didn’t we already agree to discontinue the act of being married couples?” I questioned him as we stopped in front of the third door we passed by.Greyson shr
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 39 - The Revelation
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVGreyson made me sleep on his bed last night while he covered himself on the floor, refusing to initiate any kind of conversation with me. I bet that he’s been mentally exhausted all day long, and no one else is to blame other than myself. There’s still an hour left before the afternoon, and Gabriela already called us for lunch. She definitely has something to discuss with us, seeing that she didn’t bother to invite Greg.“Were you able to sleep well with someone you don’t love, Angelique?” Gabriela asked with a hint of sarcasm as she was serving our dishes on the dining table. “I prepared some beef Wellington; I heard it’s one of your favorites.”I genuinely smiled at Gabriela. I took a spoonful of the beef and couldn’t help but praise her for how savory it tasted. “If only I knew that my mother-in-law was going to be this great of a cook, I would’ve loved your son with all I’ve got. I wouldn’t care if he ends up tearing my heart into pieces,” I jokingly commente
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 38 - The Ignorance
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI didn’t know what to do with Greg, so I decided to go with Greyson instead. I was behind him, and the both of us were glaring at his father. I held both of Greyson’s wrists behind his back so that he wouldn’t be able to fight back, as if he were handcuffed.“Don’t do anything rash, Greyson. You wouldn’t be able to face the consequences either way,” I said, trying to convince him not to ignite his father’s furiosity any more than that. “If it wasn’t for your father, you wouldn’t even be here in this world,” I added.Greyson hissed at me as he resisted my grip, pushing me away from him. I was about to fall on my knees, but fortunately, Gabriela was there to catch me. “Don’t try to act like you’re any better, Angelique. I know that you can’t wait to see me lying on the ground, surrounded with my own blood,” he coldly replied with a stern gaze.As I shook my head, I caught a glimpse of how Greg was on his way to slash the shard of glass on Greyson’s head, so I hasti
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 37 - The Numbness
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVAt that point, I knew that there was no more room for lies. The undeniable frustration that’s shown in Greyson’s face made his veins pop out from his forehead. There’s no right for me to complain about anything. “I can’t believe you, Angelique. Were you actually the one who’s pulling the strings, thinking that I was the one in control?” Greyson asked, accusing me of being a manipulative woman.I laughed, trying to set the atmosphere back to normal. “You were just that easy to play with, Greyson. It’s been years since we’ve been apart, and you really thought that I’d simply let you do as you please with me?”Greyson shook his head with a smirk on his face, removing his hold on my chin. “I knew it. I told you before, didn’t I? That there was something different about you, despite knowing that you’re still Angelique,” he murmured.I can’t understand myself anymore. If only I could be honest and tell him that, maybe he could actually help me think straight.We were s
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 36 - The Heiress
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVIt hasn’t been long since Greg and Gabriela went out of the house. There’s a high possibility that the two of them would hear what Greyson and I would discuss, so I was quite hesitant to give him a response.“You know what? Forget it. I shouldn’t have expected that you weren’t going to betray me for the rest of your life,” Greyson said, shrugging off his question from a few minutes ago. “You better think twice about what you’re planning, Angelique. You wouldn’t want to mess around with me.”I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. “I don’t know what’s making you this confident, Greyson. You’re no longer holding a chain on me. Everyone around the world already knows about the crime that I’ve done to my parents, so there’s nothing else left for you to blackmail me with,” I furiously muttered, trying my best to keep my voice down as I don’t want his parents to hear us.Greyson clicked his tongue, supposing that I'd hit the bullseye. “Even so, I’m still your husband!”I
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 35 - The Deceit
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe four of us sat on the floor of the living room. Greyson was beside me while his parents were in front of us. It was quite a mystery to me how they addressed him as my husband, but I think he already told them about it. But still, I tried to pinch some of Greyson’s skin on his back, causing him to look at me with such a ferocious gaze.“What?” Greyson muttered under his breath, so I merely rolled my eyes as a response, showing that I wasn’t happy about all this. “Just bear with it for a little longer, Angelique. They just need to tell you something important,” he briefly explained.Seeing that I have no other choice, I sighed, then glanced at his parents, who were waiting for me to do so. “U-uh. So, what is it that you were meaning to tell me?” I asked out of pure curiosity.Greyson’s mother stared at her husband, gesturing to him to be the one to speak. “We want to apologize for all the years that we’ve been rude to you, Angelique. We didn’t know that you’re
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 34 - A Surprise
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI could sense how serious Austin was with the words he declared to Greyson. His hands were tightly pressing on my wrist, refusing to let me go. However, I have no intention of letting Austin do as he pleases, especially not in front of someone I have known for years.“Can you let go of me now, Austin? I don’t know what you’re planning, but I don’t like what’s running through your mind,” I coldly said, placing my palm above the back of his hand. “I could’ve let this slide further if you were at least my ex-boyfriend or someone I had feelings for... But seriously, you’re just a stranger to my eyes, Austin,” I added to make him realize his selfishness.“You heard my woman speak.” Greyson stepped in between us, aggressively pushing Austin’s shoulder to make him forcibly let go of me. “I don’t know who you are, but you’re thick-headed as fuck, dude. Go find your own wife or at least a girlfriend and mind your own business. Whatever’s happening between the two of us wi
