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

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

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

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

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

ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV Each and every step that I took while heading back to the hospital wasn’t that easy for me, even though I had a straight face. My mind was literally like a puzzle that has absolutely no chance of being fixed. I know exactly what I need to do, but my conscience is pulling me back as if I haven’t taken my father’s life at all. There’s no clear explanation of what I’m feeling. As soon as I was around the area where I last saw my mother, I heard two women laughing. One was from my mother, and another one was from a voice I wasn’t familiar with. Curiosity piqued my interest, so I tried to take a peek through the slightly opened door. “Who’s that girl?” I whispered a query to myself with my forehead scrunched. I have never encountered that woman in my whole life. She looks more gorgeous than me. Her hair was the first thing that I noticed because of its blonde color. H

ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV The way that Greyson’s facial expression turned quite softer when he saw Gwynneth right in front of him and beside me, made me shiver down my spine. "It seems like the relationship between the two of you is far deeper than I imagined," I said, with the intention of leaving. "I heard from her conversation with my mother that she hasn't been able to meet you for years, and I guess that's true," I added. Greyson faked a cough as he rapidly shook his head. "T-that's not the case, Angelique. Don't get too ahead of your assumptions," he mumbled. "It's just that... I wasn't expecting that you'd return here with someone else. I was waiting for you to come back here with Lian, or at least a client of mine," he explained further. "You don't have to lie to yourself just because someone else is here, Greyson." Gwynneth randomly reached for his arm, then clung onto it. "I know that you've also m
Terakhir Diperbarui : 2024-08-03One Night With The Seductress Chapter 25 - Murderous Intentions
ANGELIQUE SLOAN'S POV I have been doubtful of Greyson's real feelings since the beginning of his story regarding his relationship with Gwynneth. But there was nothing I could do but sit beside him and listen. "Wouldn't it sound more convincing if I told you about it with emotions?" Greyson faked a laugh, trying to dodge the assumption I made. "Didn't you see how much of a b*tch that woman was? Who would even dare to get back in a relationship with her?" I shrugged my shoulders, unsure of how to respond. "What was the reason why the two of you broke up anyway?" I asked, as my curiosity could no longer be contained. "I ended things with Gwynneth because of how she was living in poverty," Greyson directly answered without even thinking twice. "It's not that I'm looking down on everyone who has a low economic status. It's just that Gwynneth had been a gold digger," he defended himself before I could've attac

One Night With The Seductress Chapter 49 - The Choice
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVIt was night time when I arrived at the park that was supposed to be filled with a huge crowd, considering that it’s currently a weekend. I gulped as I could even hear my own rapid heartbeat because of how peaceful the surrounding was. I had to grip onto my bag to not lose my strength when the time calls for it.“Greyson? I’m here,” I yelled out his name as I tried to let my eyes wander. “Let’s go home, okay? It’s already been a week since you left the house. You still have a lot of cleaning to do, right? Stop hiding and just get your ass out of here,” I added, trying to sound brave despite knowing that I could pass out in fear any second now.The wind has gone colder and stronger as I felt it brushing upon my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I didn’t receive any response from Greyson, and minutes have already gone by.“Just give me any sign that you’re here, Greyson. I’ll leave if you don’t send me any signal,” I demanded, hoping that I wouldn’t see any sign
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 48 - The Responsibility
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV“You’re still kidding around, aren’t you?” I asked with a short laughter, trying to make Greyson admit that he wasn’t serious with his reply. I tried to move away from above him, and compared to when he prevented me earlier, he simply let me go now. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” I clicked my tongue, annoyed by his silence.Greyson stood up from his bed and walked ahead of me, heading towards the exit of his room. However, I didn’t let him as I grabbed onto his wrist after I followed his tracks.“Don’t follow me around, Angelique. I’ve got some important business to do that I just remembered,” Greyson coldly demanded, forcing me to release my grip on him. “And to honestly answer your question just now, I don’t understand myself either. Most of the time, I’m yearning for your presence. But at the same time, I still long for someone else’s touch,” he murmured in between his tiny breaths.I stared blankly
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 47 - The Confession
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVSeveral minutes have already passed by. Greyson and I have been staring at each other without uttering any words. I doubt that he could think of anything that can get him out of this situation. He only has one choice—and that is to tell me the truth. If Greyson chooses to tell me a lie, then that would destroy all the trust he had built up after betraying me because of his other woman.“Angelique, let me explain…” Greyson sat beside me on the edge of his bed.I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration as I avoided having eye contact with him. “If you’re going to explain something, then get on straight to the point,” I coldly said. “I won’t believe you if you try to tell me that you merely got that poster from somewhere online or through some illegal shops,” I added.“I’m not that dumb to say that.” Greyson gave me the poster, showing it to me like it was not the first time that I’ve seen it. “Do you really not
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 46 - The Uneasiness
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVGreyson tried to pull me back from the three as we were outnumbered, but I kept my feet frozen to the ground, which caused him to tighten his grip on my wrist to force me to make eye contact with him. “Don’t tell me that you’re going to choose them and make a complete fool out of me, Greyson.” I gave him a ferocious gaze, so that he would be intimidated.I heard Greyson heaving out a loud sigh. “Are you seriously still doubting me after all these times?” he replied with a shake of his head. “If Gwynneth says that she has strong evidence against you, what do you think you could still do against this situation? You mustn’t forget that you’re also just a human… and worse, you’re a woman,” he added.I bit my lower lip in irritation, seeing that there really was no choice other than to leave. I tugged the edge of Greyson’s shirt, pulling him away from the spot of the three. I doubt that Lian would be able to take my mother’
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 45 - The Confrontation
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe moonlight shone directly in the direction where Lian and my mother were standing. They were at the corner of a building in some sort of an alleyway where there was no one around other than themselves. As I was attempting to walk ahead and confront the two of them, I felt two hands holding both of my wrists—one was from Greyson, and the other was from Gwynneth. Both of them were preventing me from reaching their spot, as if it wasn’t what we came here for.“Why are you holding me back? My mother is literally standing a few meters away from us!” I uttered and despite wanting to scream my lungs out, I held myself back as it would definitely alert Lian. “Don’t tell me that you’ve already known that my mother was together with Lian? Is this how you’re going to betray me all over again, Greyson? Are you still not done with your games?” I consecutively questioned him out of frustration.Greyson released my wrist as he pulled me away from Gwynneth’s hold. “You’re ove
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 44 - The Intuition
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVNo matter how many times I tried to convince Greyson to go straight home and just let me visit Gwynneth’s home by myself, he wouldn’t let me be. I couldn’t help myself but to wonder if he found an excuse to see her, or if he simply didn’t want me to come there by myself.“Your face is like an open book, Angelique. I know that you’re overthinking about the possibility that I merely wanted to see Gwynneth and that I’m using your mother as an excuse,” Greyson suddenly said, taking me aback as I stopped my tracks.My feet somehow felt cold, frozen to the ground as I stared at Greyson’s back, unable to believe that he might’ve read my mind. “H-how did you do that?” I scoffingly asked, filled with curiosity. “Anyhow, are we still far from her house?” I changed my query, trying not to get teased by him.Greyson shook his head once as he pointed his index finger in front of us. “Gwynneth’s house is the only one that stands out in this area,” he murmured as I glanced upon
One Night With The Seductress Chapter 43 - The Plan
ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVI immediately felt how quickly Greyson’s arms loosened its grip around my waist as soon as I reacted negatively to his intention. Whether he was genuine of wanting to protect my mother from Lian, it didn’t matter to me. After all, I knew deep inside that Gwynneth was the only one he’s eager to protect other than myself.“Stop dragging Gwynneth into this conversation, Angelique. Our main goal is to avoid letting Lian reach your mother,” Greyson coldly uttered as he gently pushed me away.As I shook my head in disbelief of what he said, I attempted to walk past him and return to his car, but I hurriedly stopped my tracks when I didn’t sense his footsteps following me.“What do you really want to do, Greyson?” I asked, turning around to face him once more. “Can’t we just let go of the past and live freely as we want? If it’s you, there’s a huge possibility for us to start over in a different place far away from our parents,” I added.Greyson sighed, pulling me back
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
