Reese agreed to marry Troy, thinking their feelings were mutual. It turned out that he only used her to get close to her mother, Mandy. When she went home after taking care of her mother-in-law, who pretended to be sick, she caught her mom and husband in their marital bed. She exacted revenge by having a one-night stand with a stranger, who happened to be the wealthiest man in town, and the business partner of her unknown biological father, Vincent. The chaos escalated when Reese discovered that the billionaire, Lorenzo Carter, intended to marry her twin sister, Candice, with whom she thought her son was Enzo's. Overwhelmed, she fled to escape the painful memories, unaware of her own pregnancy. By chance, she encountered a woman who proposed a modeling career, which flourished until her pregnancy was revealed. Faced with pressure to choose between her rising career and her unborn child, Reese stood at life's crossroads, contemplating the profound decision before her. When Lorenzo Carter found her, he proposed marriage, but sadly, she had no memory of him. Utilizing his influence, he persuaded her to agree to the contract marriage. Once successful, he endeavored to make her remember him and to reignite her love for him.

I wept uncontrollably, my face pressed against his chest, my arms wrapped tightly around him.I had never allowed myself to be so vulnerable in front of anyone, and it was ironic that Enzo was the person comforting me right now as I fell apart. My shoulders trembled, and my cries filled the room.I was unaware of how much time had passed as I wept, occasionally fearing Enzo might leave me. Yet, he stayed, holding me closer with each tear I shed.Noticing my depleted strength, he lifted me up and walked towards the bed.He sat down, settling me on his lap, and continued to embrace me as I continued to cry into his chest.And gradually, I began to release my hold.**********This morning's breakfast consisted of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Although they seemed delicious to my mind, my stomach disagreed.In fact, it was my heart that felt uneasy, to the point where I lost my
Chapter 109Enzo''May I attend my daughter's birthday party?'' Vincent implored, his eyes beseeching as he gazed at me.''I'm sorry, Dad, but I've only invited her close friends to surprise her...'' I replied. ''I think she'll be confused if she sees you there again...''I understood my father-in-law's feelings; he simply wanted to be part of Reese's significant life events, just as he was at our wedding. It was I who asked Vincent to walk Reese down the aisle, and he couldn't have been happier.''What if Reese wonders why I'm the one walking her down the aisle?'' I remember Vincent asking me on the day of our wedding, his voice tinged with worry yet laced with excitement.''Don't worry about it...'' I reassured him, patting his shoulder. ''I'll explain that you're the closest elder I have in my life right now...''Thankfully, Reese never questioned it.I also made it clear to Vincent that we couldn't force Reese to remember everything like what the doctor said, and I was relieved he
Chapter 108Enzo''It's true...'' Troy's mouth fell open in shock as he realized Mandy wasn't Reese's biological mother. With each word he read, his frown deepened. ''Mandy isn't her real mother. She even abducted her with her lover...''The thought of Reese suffering at Mandy's and her lover's hands made me clench my fists, and grit my teeth in rage. I couldn't help but hold the man before me responsible for everything that had happened to her.''But why?'' Troy's expression was one of confusion. ''Why would she do that to her?''I had no idea why Mandy had kidnapped Reese. My assumption was that Reese had caught her with her lover, and perhaps threatened to expose them to Troy.''I need your help to put Mandy behind bars...'' I declared to Troy with a commanding tone.Hesitation flickered in his eyes as he met my gaze. He was still in love with Mandy after everything he found out. It was clearly written in his eyes. But I don't care about him. I just wanted to give Reese the justice
Chapter 107Enzo''I'm so sorry...'' Troy Byers stammered as he knelt before me, his face drenched with tears. ''I didn't know you were Mr. L. Carter. I...'' he faltered, his lips quivering. ''I'm so sorry, Mr. Carter...''''Stand up...'' I commanded, rising from my seat and straightening my suit before approaching him.Yet, Troy stayed on his knees, bowed his head, and grasped at my legs when I finally got closer to him. ''I'll do anything, everything, just to remain in your company. Please don't fire me, Mr. Carter, please!''Observing his tears, I recognized his pitiful state. He was unworthy of Reese's affection. He didn't deserve Reese even in the slightest.''Do you know where Reese goes?'' I inquired, my hands balling into fists at my sides as I gazed down at him, noting how his hair fell over his eyes. His hair, now longer, did not complement him. It made him appear unkempt and disheveled.Troy shook his head. As he began to speak, I stopped him with my palm and motioned for h
Chapter 106Enzo''May I attend my daughter's birthday party?'' Vincent implored, his eyes beseeching as he gazed at me.I had just finished a meeting with him at his residence regarding the new branch of L. Carter we planned to establish in Russia. Although he had divested his shares in my company to focus on his own enterprise, I still desired his involvement in my business as my father-in-law and one of the pivotal reasons for L. Carter's sustained success. He had not once forsaken my company during my absence.Observing his aged yet distinguished features, I was involuntarily transported back to the days when Reese left me.Recalling the occasion, I accompanied Candice to Germany for Asher's treatment. I simultaneously endeavored to launch a branch of my firm there, aiming to erase Reese from my heart and mind. I had solicited Vincent to take over L. Carter in Manhattan during my German sojourn, but he declined due to commitments to his own venture, CC Stone Group. Consequently, I
Chapter 105ReeseAfter we finished our dinner, it was Riza's bedtime. Enzo carried her in his arms carefully as I walked alongside them. I frowned slightly as we passed the dimly lit living room, which still provided enough light to guide us up the stairs.In Riza's room, we stood by her bed as she crawled under the covers.''Goodnight, Riza. Sleep well...'' Enzo whispered, planting a kiss on her cheek. Riza wrapped her arms around his neck and returned a kiss on his forehead, a tender exchange that left me in silent admiration.Despite Enzo's occasional irksome and mischievous behavior, he transformed into a gentle soul around Riza. His tenderness towards her was a sign of the great father he was destined to become someday.''Goodnight, Uncle Enzo...'' Riza smiled at him before turning to me. ''Can I have a goodnight kiss from you too, Leese?''A warm smile graced my lips; she didn't even need to ask.As Enzo moved aside, I leaned closer to Riza and planted a kiss on her forehead. '
Chapter 104ReeseEnzo's tone conveyed deep regret for his previous words to me. It seemed as if he was earnestly trying to convince me that he was different from those who had hurt me, that he was trustworthy. Despite not knowing him well, his apology allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief.I looked at him playfully, shaking my head in amazement. ''You really have a way of making amends, huh?''All Enzo did was respond with laughter, and for a moment, I saw how hot and gorgeous he was while laughing.I shook my head to brush the thought away. It was impossible for me to fall in love with him.What?Fall in love? Where did that come from?''Leese!'' Riza called out, diverting my attention away from Enzo to her. I noticed that she was clutching a canvas with her painting on it. It wasn't particularly large, but it was certainly sizable for a child of her age.My eyes widened in astonishment as I beheld her artwork. It may not have resembled the work of professional artists like George
Chapter 103Reese''Enzo...'' I moaned. The pleasure he was giving me felt so familiar, and it was evident in my voice.I can't believe that I was letting him do this to me, allowing him to give me a kiss mark on my neck and down to my collarbone as his lips traveled down there.His hold on me tightened as he continued sucking my skin. My moans and low groans echoed in the room as he attacked me with what seemed to be a mixture of anger and scorching desire.When he finally pulled away, his intense gaze left me feeling as if the air had been vacuumed from my lungs.''You left me with no choice but to leave my mark on you...'' he declared, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.Trying to steady my racing heart, I waited until he stepped back before I dashed to the bathroom. Gazing into the mirror, I gasped; he had left a multitude of kiss marks across my neck and collarbone.He was well aware of my frequent photoshoots; his actions were utterly inexcusable. Yet, the realizat
Chapter 102Reese''Have a break for a while, everyone...'' I told them as I put down the tray on the table. I took a glance at Enzo, and I controlled myself not to burst out laughing when I saw how he glared at me.I could feel his deathly gaze on my cleavage as I bent down, and I knew that I had just made a lion escape from its cage.I arranged the cups of coffee for them, and they all said thank you as they sat back down in their spots.''I'm sorry if I interrupt an important discussion...'' I apologized fakely, and some of them shook their heads, biting a smile.I stood up straight, looking at them one by one, and only then did I notice that they were staring at me with mouths gaped open, as if it was the very first time they had seen a model.I bit my lip, looking down at the dress I was wearing. I haven't changed it yet from the photoshoot earlier.''Everyone, I believe that this meeting has ended, and we will continue the discussion in the office...'' Enzo announced through gri
Chapter 001Reese''Don't worry about me, I'll just call my daughter if I need something...'' The words were spoken in a hushed voice by my mother-in-law as she lovingly clasped my hand, her soft eyes looking tenderly at me. She was currently resting in her bed, exhibiting signs of weakness due to the severe disease that had been diagnosed by the doctor.Because she was so ill, she required my assistance in everything, including preparing her meals, feeding her, assisting her in going to the bathroom, and a great deal of other things.Mia, my mother-in-law's only daughter and the younger sister of my husband, worked as a nurse at St. Jude Hospital. However, rather than taking care of her own mother, she decided to work and provide assistance to other people, which would undoubtedly result in her coming into financial gain.When I took a quick look at the clock that was hanging on the wall, I noticed that it was only fifteen minutes before five o'clock in the afternoon.
