Chapter 025Reese''I believe that you also heard my answer to Liza when you made the decision to eavesdrop...'' I replied. ''So, I don’t have to answer your question anymore, right?''''I believe that you have also heard my sister’s opinion...''I pursed my lips for a moment before a bitter realization dawned on me. ''And that won’t change any of my decisions...''''Reese...''''Please Enzo, not now...'' I threw the bottle into the garbage bin and moved past the island he was sitting at, but I was taken aback when he suddenly grabbed my middle arm and forced me to face him.''Divorce him and marry me, Reese...''''What?''''I said, marry me, but divorce him first. I’ll pay you twenty million dollars. Just agree to become my wife...'' he stated, which caused my mouth to gape open in disbelief.Twenty million dollars? That was a huge amount of money. I could buy whatever I wanted with that money!But I can’t do whatever I want because I will be tied to Enzo for the rest of my life.Wai
Chapter 026Reese''Enzo...'' I uttered his name breathlessly. He was now fully clothed as he shut the door behind him. He lightly grazed his chin with his thumb, his gaze travelled along my face, down to my neck, and all the way to my breasts, which were covered with bubbles.''Care to explain why you did that to me earlier?'' he rasped, and I abruptly sat up, which resulted in the water sloshing around. He eyed the bubbles surrounding my nipples and how they hardened from his gaze.''I don’t want Liza to catch us...'' That was the very first thing that came to my mind, and he seemed not wanting to believe it.''Really?'' he sneered. ''What’s wrong if she catches us? We’re old enough for this...''I shook my head. ''You don’t understand. I told her everything that had happened to me, how mom and Troy cheated on me. And also, about that... having a one-night stand with a stranger...''To my surprise, he laughed. The sound vibrated against the water, and I clenched my thighs together.
Chapter 027Reese''I thought you were going to introduce me to the woman you want to marry?'' Liza asked her brother, and I almost coughed, watching her twirling her fork with her pasta. ''What’s her name again? Candice?''Candice? I thought...''Yeah. She’s kinda busy right now...'' Enzo’s words sparked a twinge of jealousy rising up inside me. ''I’ll bring her here some other time...''He asked me to marry him, and now he was telling us that he's marrying another woman. What a moron!''But the question is, will she be able to meet your grandma’s expectations?'' Liza chuckled, pushing a glass of orange juice in front of me, smiling at me.His grandma? Perhaps the only people who wanted Enzo to get married were those on his mother's side.Enzo glanced at me, and he might be able to tell that I was feeling uneasy because he cleared his throat. I just declined his offer of marrying him. I had no idea he was planning to marry another woman.''Grandma will agree with whichever girl I bri
Chapter 028ReeseIt was six in the evening when I got out of bed and moved to the closet to pick out an outfit for the dinner. I got dressed and just as I had finished putting on light red lipstick on my lips, I heard a knock on my door before it threw open, and Liza slipped in.''Reese...'' she called, her voice trembled a little like something was bothering her, and I stared at her reflection in front of me.What does she want? Does she already know about my affair with her brother?Liza frowned and tightened her lips for a moment, fixing her gaze down to the floor.''What is it, Liza? Is there something wrong?'' I asked worriedly, turning around to face her.''I’m pregnant...'' she announced, biting her lip.My eyes widened, my lips parted in disbelief. I was the one who was married here, and she was the one who got pregnant? How did that even happen?''Pregnant? A child in your womb? How come? I mean, I thought you didn't have a boyfriend?'' I asked, shocked to the core.Back in
Chapter 029ReeseWe were already seated at the table that Enzo had reserved earlier. His intense gaze became inevitable as he flickered his eyes at me, glinting with amusement when I rolled mine at him.He was interrupted by Liza’s loud sigh, and then she glanced up at both of us.''Sushi’s your favorite. I’ll order it for you...'' he told Liza, who tilted her head at me, as if asking what I wanted to eat.But then I remembered that one time, I read books about pregnancy, since I had always dreamed of having a baby. I had learned that raw fish wasn’t good for pregnant women.I signaled Liza not to order it, and I was thankful she clearly understood what I was trying to say.''Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood for sushi right now...'' she shook her head, and Enzo arched a brow at her in response. ''Well, I... Reese doesn’t want the smell of raw fish...''Liza leaned back against her seat with a calm expression as Enzo moved his gaze back to me, and I smiled at him.''I’m sorry...
Chapter 030Reese''I’m sorry, but I need to go to the ladies’ room...'' I rose from my seat and promptly excused myself before I padded my way to the restroom.Thankfully, the place was deserted when I got inside. I stood before the mirror and stared at my reflection. ''Why am I letting Enzo do this to me?''I sighed, turning the faucet on, and splashed some cold water on my face. I reached for a paper towel and dried my face a little. The minimal make-up I wore was thankfully waterproof, so I didn’t have to retouch it.Liza said that Enzo was marrying that Candice girl, but why was he still wasting his time bothering me?I have to settle this once and for all. I didn't want to become my mom. A mistress, a homewrecker, a cheater.I reapplied my lipstick and stood back, viewing the result. I was pleased at how poised I looked after what Enzo’s hand had done to me under the table.I pulled the door open and stepped into the dim corridor, retracing my steps. Just as I walked past the me
Chapter 031Reese''Enzo!'' I screamed as I watched him knock down to the ground. I moved to help him get up, but I noticed Troy was preparing to attack him once again. ''Troy, stop it!'' I blocked my body to prevent him from inflicting further harm on Enzo, but he grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the hallway.''Reese!'' Liza’s eyes widened when she saw Troy holding my hand. ''Troy, where are you taking her? Let her go!''I saw the recognition in Troy’s eyes, but he chose to ignore her and continued dragging me with full force, having no regard for the fact that he was causing me pain.''Sir, what’s the problem here?'' the security guard of the restaurant intervened, but Troy planted his palm against his chest and shoved him away.''She’s my wife. Don’t you dare get involved here!'' he growled, and the guard quickly stepped back, making room for us to step out.''I’m sorry. Please help Enzo...'' I mouthed to Liza with tears streaming down my face, and she nodded in understanding
Chapter 032ReeseI was silent for a moment, taking deep breaths, and filling my lungs with air. I didn’t want to face her yet, but here she was, all set to attack me. I have to be strong. I have to bite back to win and swallow them whole. They were the ones who had wronged me, and not the other way around.My entire being began to pump up, the fury and rage surging through my bloodstream, burning up my veins.''My husband just invited me here, dearest mother...'' I responded to her, as I made my way to the couch and slumped like a queen and crossed my legs.My eyes darted at the framed photographs hanging on the wall, and I almost threw up, seeing their pictures together. Our wedding picture was gone.Did Troy actually set aside and ruin everything because of this woman? Every good memory we had. Every laugh and kiss that we shared.''Invited you? You’re a spoiled brat, delusional girl!'' she scoffed, clenching her jaw so tight I could practically see her veins almost popping in her
Chapter 055ReeseThe following morning, I received my test results, and the increasing levels of human chorionic gonadotropin indicated that my baby was doing well. I was cleared to leave the hospital, yet I remained uncertain about my first destination. Should I go to Liza's house first or to Enzo's company?I hadn't seen Mandy, and I felt relieved to finally be free from her. I was also grateful that she had paid my bill, so I no longer had to worry about it.I had just stepped out of the hospital when I was startled by a cold hand grasping my elbow."Let's go," I heard someone talk, and quickly turned to find Jerry standing behind me. His dark shades obscured his eyes, making it impossible to tell where he was looking."I'm not going with you!" I pulled away from his grasp, but he remained unmoved and instead gripped me tighter, making me flinch. He guided me to the parking lot, where I instantly noticed his car with Mandy waiting inside, her eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses as
Chapter 054Reese We made it into the parking lot, and Jerry settled me into the passenger seat, before he climbed into the driver's seat after Mandy sat in front. "Hurry up!" Mandy exclaimed, looking back at me as she strapped on her seatbelt. "We need to bring her to the hospital before something happens to her baby!" "Shut up! I know!" Jerry drove off quickly, and soon the hospital appeared in sight, though it seemed like hours had passed—excruciatingly long hours."We have an emergency!" I heard Mandy yell, and tears began to stream down my face at this point. "Emergency! Nurse, please! Help us!"I may not be very knowledgeable about pregnancy, but I understand that bleeding can be concerning. I hope that my baby is safe.Jerry carried me out of the car, and a medical staff met us, pushing a wheelchair. Mandy helped me check in while Jerry stayed outside the emergency room.A series of questions and answers followed, and I responded to them as well as I could."Why do you have
Chapter 053Reese"It's alright, baby. I understand that it is very difficult for you to comprehend this, but we are doing this for your own good. Please eat up, okay? Eat now so you will have strength in what we are going to do later." He smirked, and I shivered at his lustful glare.I observed Jerry as he set the tray down on the table, grasped the spoon, and gathered a spoonful of porridge, then carefully brought it to my mouth."I'm not a fucking child! Stop doing this!" I uttered a wail as I jerked my head back and fidgeted on the bed, in an attempt to break out of my restraints.Jerry chose not to respond verbally. He used one hand to hold my jaws, forcing my mouth to open, and brought the spoon forward inside my mouth-a silent, wordless threat for me to stop opposing him.With the fear that the continued pressure from the tip of the stainless steel hurt the bruise on the corner of my lips from his and Mandy's slap earlier, I grudgingly accepted the food from the spoon."That's
Chapter 054ReeseI flinched and moved my head back, feeling sickened at how close his face was to mine. ''Jerry, p-please just let me go. I swear, I won't tell anyone what happened. I promise I'll be very quiet, please." I managed to beg in between shallow breaths, while maintaining eye contact with him as I pleaded to be released. "Please, I'm begging you..."But he ignored my cries and pleas as he secured the rope to both of my wrists. He took extra precautions and also tied my ankle to the leg of his bed, effectively making me lose all hopes of running away."This place is where you belong now! And I will never let you go again!" he hissed, looking me straight in the eyes. "Just listen to everything that I'm saying, understand?"I stared in disbelief at the psychopath in front of me. My lips trembled in fear.A knock at the main door caused me to jerk my head up, and Jerry moved away from me. Then I heard Mandy's voice calling out for Jerry, and I sobbed even harder."How is she?"
Chapter 051Reese"Get away from me!" I yelled, revulsion clear in my voice as I spun around to confront him. My gaze flitted frantically across the room, settling on the photographs of Mandy plastered on the wall.What the hell was this?Based on the clothing, I was able to determine that the photographs were shot covertly over a span of a couple of years. Some were taken when she was still married to her ex-husband, and I was still a teenager. Others were at the beach, where she was wearing a black two-piece bikini and someone was cut out of the picture. However, that was not the worst thing in the room.The absolute worst was being displayed on the two computer monitors, wherein the one on the left was showing the living room of the house and the one on the right was showing footage of the deserted bedroom.Oh my God! He's obsessed with Mandy!"You're watching Mandy and Troy?" I could feel my head spinning as I thought someone was watching them inside the house. He was even watchin
Chapter 050ReeseJerry moved closer to me, and my body trembled again. My heart leaped when he began to untie the ropes that were wrapped around my wrists and ankles. "This is just for now. You can take a shower in the bathroom, but I'll be outside, waiting for you."After the ropes were eventually removed, I massaged my wrists and ankles to relieve the tension. How could I even take a shower if I didn't have something to change on?As if reading what was on my mind, Jerry pulled out a pair of white shorts and a black shirt from his closet. "You can use these if you want."I shook my head. I would rather be smelly than use his personal things.Rising from the bed, I walked out of the room, my eyes scanning for the bathroom. Suddenly, his voice startled me from behind, "That's the bathroom," he said, gesturing towards the door in the corner. With a huff, I made my way over and stepped inside the bathroom.I've just used the restroom and washed my face. As there was no extra toothbrush
Chapter 049ReeseJerry towered over me, leaning closer to me on the bed. My heart rate kicked up a notch as fear squeezed like a tight fist around my chest. The fact that we were the only people in his house, and I was tied up caused me to shudder even more.Was he going to rape me?My eyes instantly welled up with tears when a creepy smile touched his lips. "Don't worry, Reese," he mumbled, running his fingertips over the side of my face. "I'm not going to fuck you now. Let's wait for Mandy to come here. And she would be the one to decide what I'm going to do to you."His words made me want to throw up on his face. There was no way that I was going to make him fuck me."For now, stay here and be a good girl, okay?" His face moved closer to mine, and I tilted my head to the side, turning my gaze away from him. The hair stood on my nape when I felt his breath against my ear. "And in the meantime, let me have a taste of your skin. Don't worry, I only want a little..."The words he just
Chapter 048EnzoI sat up and leaned against the headboard, grabbing her asscheeks before I pulled her up and slammed her back down to meet my hard shaft."Enzo!" she whimpered, and I smiled before I buried my face between her breasts, inhaling her sweet scent. My deep thrusts became even faster, and she moaned my name again, biting her lip harder.I pushed into her, pouring all my love into her. Her moans and screams resounded in my ears every time I reached her sweet spot. I would only be the man who could give her this kind of pleasure. I would be the only man whose name she would whisper as she was filled with complete bliss. It was only I who could hear her moans, who could taste her skin, who could kiss her lips and every inch of her, and who had the ability to fill her emptiness. I would hurt any other man who tried to touch even a single strand of her hair, even if I had to track him down and kill him."Reese, I'm coming! Fuck, fuck, fuck!" I reached my climax, and I felt her
Chapter 047EnzoI played my tongue simultaneously around the nubs, flickering them, biting them, and devouring them like they were the most delicious delicacy on the planet. Oh, they were, actually, aside from that other sensitive nub between her thighs.I heard her whimper in pleasure as she arched her back, offering more to me. I reclaimed her lips, calming her down, and I smiled when I heard her sigh in satisfaction.I continued kissing all of her, my lips were now on her navel, drilling the small hole with my tongue. When I reached her sensitive nub, I waited no more and marked my territory. She gasped as I placed a kiss on top of her already wet mound.I cupped her ass cheeks so that I could ravish her deeper. I began flickering my tongue on her clit, running my teeth on it, and sucking it, until her legs quivered, and she chanted my name over and over again, which only made me want to devour her even more.I planted another kiss on her slit, and when I looked up, her dreamy eye
