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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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
