Chapter 036

Reese

There was only one umbrella in the house, and Troy used it to shield mom from the pouring rain as he accompanied her in getting into his car.

I watched Enzo run towards his black SUV, and came back with a black jacket in his hand. ''Come on, wear this...'' he urged, draping the jacket over my shoulder.

''Thank you...'' I gave him a small smile and took his hand that he was extending me as I mentally prepared myself to run with him into the cold rain, when I saw Troy coming back with the umbrella in his hand, but he abruptly made a halt when he noticed Enzo and I getting ready to sprint.

''Alright, let's get going, in one... two... three!'' Enzo laughed out loud while I found myself rolling my eyes at him as we hurried together in the direction of his car. He maintained his grip on my hand, and we went by Troy, who was still watching us with a slight frown on his face.

Enzo unlocked the passenger door and held it open for me, and I hastily hopped in. I was saturated f

    Chapter 037Reese''I can't believe you're still so fucking tight, baby. Oh, God! Yes, just like that...'' The husky tone that Enzo used in his voice made me shiver all the way down to my heated mound, which in return forced me to clench my walls tightly as I rolled my hips.His head was lying back against his seat, and because his neck was on clear display, I got the urge to taste him again, so I leaned forward, sucked him with my lips over his pulse point, my tongue sliding out to lick him. His hands caressed my flesh, moving from my hips to my shoulders, but never took control of my movements in any way.I let out a moan as I ground my clit into his pelvis and went on to hit it each time I made my way around. I let out a whimper as I ground my clit into his pelvis and proceeded to pound each time I made my way around.Just like with our kisses, I took my time and simply enjoyed the sensation of being with him while the rain was pouring heavily outside. My rolls and swivels were per

    Chapter 038Reese''Where the hell have you been?'' Troy's brows knitted as he glared at us, particularly at Enzo, who was just standing nonchalantly by my side. The traces of our earlier escapade in the car were still apparent on his face, visible to no one else but me.''I... uh, Enzo's tire went flat, so we had to find a service station...'' I bit my lip, looking down at my feet, and avoiding Troy's intimidating gaze.When I looked up again, I met mom's eyes scrutinizing me, a brow arched with her lips curved into a mocking smile. She was obviously aware that I was lying. How could she not? After all, she was the one who raised me.Troy didn't utter a single word as he led the way inside the building. The woman I had bribed the last time was still there, and her eyes narrowed as she watched me and Troy make our way towards her table.Enzo remained in the waiting area, positioned just a few feet from my mother.''It seems that you two have already made up your minds on what to do...

    Chapter 039Reese''I am not an employee of your company, but please let me talk to Mr. Carter...'' I said softly, trying to convince the woman. ''It's really an important matter, please...''"Okay." the woman said, but didn't pay attention to me at all, and instead lowered her head and scrolled on her phone as she went on asking me. "Do you even have a scheduled appointment with him?""No. I don't have an appointment with him.""Then it's a no as well. Because you are not an employee of this company and because you do not have a scheduled meeting with Mr. Carter, we are unable to allow you to enter the premises." she stated, flicking her finger at me, a signal that I should leave while she had this sardonic smile on her face.Since I didn't want to argue with her anymore, I asked, "Is Mr. Carter in his office?""I don't know." the woman shrugged her shoulders, and I clenched my fists, and tried to contain my need to smack her.But I understood her though. Enzo told me before that no

    Chapter 040ReeseI walked down the hallway and paused in front of Candice's room. Taking a few deep breaths, I raised my fist to knock on the door. Hearing her voice say, "Come in, the door is open," I turned the knob and gently pushed the door open.She was seated before her vanity, running a brush through her lengthy, dark brown hair."Hi." I smiled, and she just stared at my reflection with a serious expression on her face. "I came here to return the dress you lent me last night."I placed her folded dress on top of her bed."I'm leaving. Thank you for...''"Are you sure you're okay now?" Candice asked, cutting me off. She got up from her seat and walked closer to me."Yes, I am." I answered, gazing up at her beautiful amber eyes. "Thank you again for helping me, and for letting me stay here."When she nodded, I knew it was time to leave her room, but the next few words she said stopped me in my tracks."Are your parents still alive?"My brows knitted together as I whirled again t

    Chapter 041ReeseI hailed a taxi and gave the driver the house's address. As we traveled, I could feel the intense thumping of my heart against my ribcage. In my mind, I was rehearsing how to approach my mom with the information I had just received from Candice.A few moments later, the cab finally pulled up in front of the house, and I got out, looking around for Troy's car, but it wasn't in the garage.I ambled up to the entrance and raised my hand to knock when, unexpectedly, the door swung open. A man stood there, his eyes as wide as mine, equally startled upon seeing me.''Who are you?'' I asked him, but he walked out rushing, as if someone was chasing after him.I flung the door open and immediately my gaze shot up the stairs, where I caught sight of my mother descending. Her eyes grew wide at the sight of me. She was only wearing a fluffy white towel around her body.''What the hell are you doing here?'' she asked once she finally reached down, and walked closer to me.''No, w

    Chapter 042Reese"Stop it! Let me go!" I screamed, reaching back to grasp Mandy's hand and twisting it, which resulted in a switch of our positions, with me now behind her."Ouch!" She yelped, her free hand trying to grab mine as well, but the towel that was wrapped around her was undone, and it fell to the ground. "Don't you dare hurt me, I'm your mother! Let me go, bitch!""I don't have a crazy mother!" I shouted before I kicked her ass, causing her to fall, face first on the ground."You rat! Come back here! I'm not done with you yet!"I rolled my eyes at her as I rushed my way out, slamming the door shut behind me.The night had fallen, and I looked down at my wristwatch to see that it was almost seven in the evening.Thankfully, a cab just pulled up in front of me, and I quickly got inside, but after I pulled the door close, the door to the driver seat was slammed open, and a man holding a gun smashed the poor driver's nape."Oh my God!" I screamed when I saw the driver's face s

    Chapter 043ReeseTo get rid of the beads of sweat accumulating on my forehead while I stayed concealed beside the red sedan, I ran my trembling hand across it. I attempted to soothe the intense thumping in my chest, a consequence of my heightened heart rate, by shutting my eyes and gripping my shirt as firmly as possible.It was as if I was playing a game of hide and seek with the devil, and the punishment for being found would be drag into hell.The man's head abruptly turned left at the crossroads. Spotting the red sedan in the distance, he started heading towards it, all the while keeping a calm demeanor on his face.I pressed my lips together to remain silent while the sound of his approaching footsteps grew louder, signaling that he was drawing nearer to me.A single step would have been needed for him to locate me, but instead he stopped in his tracks.I pressed my teeth firmly against my lower lip, clamping my trembling hands over my mouth to stifle the uncontrollable breaths.

I wanted to cover my ears, but I couldn't move. I wanted to escape, but my body was too weak to get up.Once Mandy got out of the car, Jerry turned on the engine, roaring away from the place.After about half an hour, I felt the car pull up. The door to my side slammed open, and Jerry carried me out bridal style, and steadily walked to what I believed was his apartment."Hey! What the hell is happening here?" I forced my eyes open, and I saw a security guard flashing his torch at us. "Who is this woman?""She's my girlfriend. She passed out while we were having dinner. " I heard Jerry say, his eyes narrowed to the blinding light of the guard's torch. "Please, can you not point your flashlight to us?""Maybe your girlfriend is pregnant," the guard chuckled, lowering his flashlight."No..." I whimper

We're going to live in peace...'' I murmured, gently touching my belly.I hauled my suitcase across the road. Perhaps I should call Grace for some company in the house.My heart swelled with excitement as I admired the apartment while crossing the street. Suddenly, a screeching noise pierced the air, and I turned towards the sound. A white car was speeding towards me, and I was paralyzed with shock, staring at the oncoming vehicle with wide eyes. Everything felt like it was in slow motion.I was hurled into the air, experiencing intense pain throughout my body before my head struck something solid. The next moment, I found myself lying on the ground, numbness spreading through every limb.Tears welled up in m

I missed him terribly, yet I chose to wound myself rather than cause pain to my sister. I departed, uncertain of what his response would have been had I revealed our impending parenthood.Would he have chosen me over Candice?Would he have taken me as his wife and married me instead of my twin?I longed for his presence, but at that moment, I could only rely on myself. The question now was how to escape and free myself from Flora. Once more, I found myself fleeing from the woman to whom I had entrusted everything. The mere thought that she might again endanger my child drove me to the brink of madness. That was something I could not allow to happen again.I stroked my belly, feeling intense pain in my chest.

"I will allow you to keep the child if you can introduce me to the father...''My eyes widened as I stared up at her. The father? How could I even do that?I shook my head as I rose to my feet. "I'm sorry, but I don't know who the father is...''"Then kill that baby!'' she screamed through gritted teeth. "Are you capable of raising that child by yourself? Do you believe the two of you can manage with your limited savings? How could you be so stupid, Riley!''I froze. Was I that stupid?No. She was just telling me this just to get rid of my baby, so that I could pursue my modeling career, as she would be the one to reap the benefits from it.I shook my head for one last time as tears streamed down my face."I'm telling you, Riley. You'll be sorry for keeping that child...

    Chapter 062ReeseWe arrived at Los Angeles airport fifteen minutes later, and the flight to Oakland airport took only about an hour."What is the purpose of this meeting?" I asked. As soon as I entered the building where the meeting was to take place, I caught sight of Flora. She greeted me with a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. She had been in Oakland for nearly a week, attending to some important matters she needed to settle."Well, I spoke with an executive from Victoria's Secret, and they want you on their team for the upcoming event. Isn't that amazing?" she exclaimed excitedly as she grasped both of my hands. "I'm thrilled at the thought of you becoming the next Victoria's Secret Angel, joining the ranks of Adriana Lima, Riley."Rather than bringing excitement, Flora let me down again. "I'm sorry, Flora, but you should have consulted me first...''"But why? Aren't you pleased with this good news?" she inquired, arching a flawless eyebrow. "You're receiving the recognition yo

    Chapter 061ReeseAs soon as my alarm rang, I slammed my hand to turn it off and got up immediately. Well, I had to be. Days when I could linger in bed past the alarm were scarce, perhaps a full eight hours of sleep was a luxury. Since the beginning of my modeling career two months ago, I've been averaging about four hours of sleep, or five on a particularly good night.''Come on, Riley! The hair and makeup team will be here at six in the morning!'' exclaimed my personal assistant, Grace, as she pushed the door open and peeked into my room at Flora's house.Yes, you heard it right. I moved into Flora's house and left Liza's apartment after securing a modeling contract. I've also cut my connection with Liza, switching to the latest phone brand and changing my number. I no longer wish to maintain connections with people from my past. Flora has given me the name Riley. Although I was unaware of her reasons, it suited me well, as I was also seeking to avoid people from my past.Flora evol

Like she needed something from me, but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was. "I needed a decent job, which is why I applied here. I've heard the pay is good...''"Indeed. And I sense you're in need of a higher salary, so I'm asking you to join my team," she said, pulling a business card from her bag and offering it to me. "Work for me, Reese. I'll give you everything you want...''Flora Coleman. That was her name."Your starting salary will be fifty thousand a month," she announced, and my eyes widened in disbelief. Fifty thousand dollars a month?I paused, skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. I suspected this woman might be a scammer. However, she wouldn't be able to scam me. I possessed neither money nor property.Noticing my hesitation, she reached out and took my hand in a comforting grip. "I don't need your decision immediately. Take

    Chapter 059Reese"I have decided not to interfere in their matters anymore. The bonds that connect us have been cut, not by lineage but by decision. My goal now is to change my life and erase their influence from it. Discovering their secrets is their responsibility, not mine. What I want right now is to leave this place so that I forget them and forget about all the bad memories they brought me." I paused, studying her face after the words I said, and I was glad I could see that she was supporting me in this. "I came here to ask for your help. Please help me leave this place, Liza. You're the only person I trust, and I know who can help me.""Of course, Reese. Don't worry, I will help you."Liza assumed I was without money, so she covered all my travel expenses to Los Angeles, where her recently purchased apartment awaited, prior to her trip to Manhattan. The money provided by Mr. Vincent was earmarked for my baby's essentials and to serve as my allowance while I looked for a job."

    Chapter 058Reese''Liza!'' I slammed my palm against her door, and after a short wait, she opened it, blinking in the harsh sunlight. She was clad in a yellow maternity dress that stopped just above her knees, looking absolutely radiant. A wave of envy hit me; she ran her own business, and even without her baby's father, she was financially stable thanks to Enzo's help. She was surrounded by family, while I was there, completely alone and destitute."Reese?" she squinted, and I gently pushed her into the house, securing the door behind me as it closed with a resounding thud. "Reese, what happened to you?" she inquired, her eyes widening at the sight of my condition. "Oh my God! Who did this to you? Reese, what the hell is going on?"My lips trembled as I rushed toward her and enveloped her in a tight embrace, sobbing loudly. "Liza...""It's okay. You're safe here with me. It's okay, Reese..." she whispered soothing words into my ear while her palm glided over my back. "You don't need

"They were my late wife's favorite Japanese dishes during her pregnancy with our twins."I paused momentarily, sipping the tea the waiter had served to soothe my nerves, before taking a deep breath. "I am one of your twins, Mr. Vincent," I wanted to reveal, but my mouth couldn't just utter the words."Anyway, why do you want to talk with Enzo?" he inquired, taking a sip of his red wine. "I could call him for you, but I doubt he's available to talk at the moment. He's busy with Candice and Asher."What? Asher was with them too? So, he ensured his family was all together before he departed from Manhattan."H-he's busy with them?" I asked, stuttering. My heart was crying inside. The thought of him with another woman was unbearable, yet that woman was none other than my sister. They have a son, which made me feel that I didn't have the right to harbor feelings of jealousy towards her.
