Chapter 016

Reese

“Don’t accuse me of what your son did to me.” even though I was trying to keep calm, I made sure that my voice sounded very firm. It was only eight in the morning, but I had already lied three times.

I was glad Enzo didn’t have to hear my conversation with Olivia, or I couldn't act like this in front of him.

I could hear the water dripping from the bathroom, indicating that he was getting a shower.

“Then why didn’t you sign back the divorce petition, huh?” she countered, a mocking laugh was followed. “You should come back here immediately, my dear. I know you didn’t sign it because you wanted to stay a little longer with me. Come home. The house is waiting to be cleaned.”

And our conversation ended just like that as she hung up the phone.

I took a few deep breaths before I slowly took a seat, feeling my knees weakening, my heart thudded loudly against my chest.

‘I didn’t sign the divorce because I have plans, Olivia.’

The grip on my phone tightened. I came dangerousl

    Chapter 017ReeseI took a quick glance at my appearance in front of the full-body mirror, sweeping my eyes over my body as I wore a red satin sleeveless dress. I had to wear black high heels since I didn’t have a pair of red. Minimal make-up was applied to my face, but I put on bright red lipstick, emphasizing my full pouty lips. I blew my hair dry and tied it into a high ponytail, showing my beautiful nape.The black tote bag I was carrying around my shoulder did not give off an air of sophistication, but the contents of it were the important things that I needed for my plan later.I locked the house, waited for a taxi to arrive, and told the driver to take me to L. Carter Manufacturing and Industries. The firm where Troy and Mandy were working.The last time I went there was when he hired a new male personal assistant after he fired his mistress. But I’ve been to his office a few times in the past, when I hadn’t yet started taking care of his mother.I used to bring him lunch, but

    Chapter 018ReeseI shot my mother a fiendish grin before I turned my attention to the crowd. “Everyone, my mother, Mandy Cooper, has been having an affair with my husband, Troy Byers. I don’t know when it began, but I caught them in my house, in our marital bed, having sex.”This morning, while I was crying my heart out while hugging my red dress, the doorbell chimed. A delivery man handed me a brown packet, and when I opened it to check what was inside, I was astonished to find photos of Troy and Mandy engaging in inappropriate activity in his office. In addition, I was curious about the identity of the person who was responsible for it because the delivery man stated that the sender was unknown.“I have high hopes that Mr. L. Carter will take prompt corrective action against these two adulterers to protect the reputation and dignity of your highly regarded firm. I have all the evidence with me.”I pulled the brown envelope out of my bag, the only thing left inside. I slid out the p

For planning all of these?Did he also ask Mr. Vincent to give me a ride that day when I caught mom and Troy?I couldn't believe it. He took my virginity on purpose!Five minutes passed, and I noticed him pull over onto the shoulder of the road, and I finally came to my senses.“What explanation? You mean, you planned everything? You knew about their affair from the very start, huh?” I sneered, crossing my arms over my chest as I glared at him. “You planned to take my virginity!”“Woah, woah! Wait up!” he raised his hands in surrender. Amusement could be seen in his eyes, which made my blood boil even more. “I didn’t plan any of what you’re talking about, okay? That night when I met you, it was a coincidence, I swear!”“What? Then why are you asking me

    Chapter 020ReeseSomething broke inside of me upon hearing those words from Troy. I thought I was immune to this feeling. I thought I was immune to this kind of pain. I was wrong. I never expected him to say those things to me, and I felt as if a foreign thing suddenly materialized out of the silence and the stillness devoured my heart in a single vicious bite.There was only emptiness inside me. As if nothing.I pressed my palm against my mouth to stop myself from sobbing. I promised myself not to cry over them because they weren't worthy of my tears.I stared at my phone, feeling my knees melt and my chest tightening.I can’t breathe.I can imagine him hugging my mother in comfort as she cried in his arms.My mind was a swamp and deep as I welcomed the daggers stabbing my chest repeatedly. It still hurts me.I took a deep breath. I needed to detach myself from them and clear my thoughts that were filled with them. But it still hurt.Before I could even feel myself collapse to the g

    Chapter 021ReeseI asked Enzo to bring me back home, so I was here again at my house, pulling my luggage out, when I heard a car pull up with a loud screech of brakes, followed by the slamming open and closing of a car door.My eyes narrowed when I saw Troy get out of his car.“Reese!” he called out, but I didn’t pay attention to him as I went on getting my stuff out of the house. “Reese, take back what you said in the office! I want you to tell them that you were lying!”"You wish!" I scoffed, rolling my eyes at him.He grabbed my shoulders and started shaking them. He was staring at me with those piercing eyes that had me enthralled from the moment I laid eyes on them, but now they were making me terrified of him.“No.” I swatted his arms away, shoving him aside, and staring back at him with a far more intense intensity.“I can’t lose my job, Reese!” he yelled, his face contorted in fury. “I recently got promoted at my job!”I gulped, bracing myself.

I took a few steps back towards Troy and hooked my arm around his neck, and I earned a glare at him, but didn't remove my arm.“Reese! You’re such a bitch! How dare you humiliate me and Troy in front of the executives!” my mother cried out in a piercing way, attacking me, but Troy brushed off my arm around his neck and stopped my mother with a hug.“Stop it, Mandy.” he said, trying to calm her. “She’s still your daughter. Don't hurt her.”“No!” mom yelled as she struggled to get away from Troy. “I will never forgive her for what she did to me! To us! Mr. Carter will definitely fire us, Troy. What should we do now? I can't lose my job. You know it.”And then she started sobbing loudly, burying her face in his chest, while Troy ran his palm up and down her back, kissing her hair.I quickly averted my gaze away from them, recalling how Enzo had done the same thing to me earlier.

    Chapter 023ReeseIt was much like the good old days when Liza gave me permission to stay in her house. When we were still in college, we used to be roommates. However, this new house that she has purchased has three rooms, and she allowed me to occupy the empty room that was adjacent to hers. She said her stepbrother had given her this house as a gift on her 26th birthday.Liza owned a bar and restaurant, so she was the boss herself of her own business. It had been her dream since then because she enjoyed drinking and going to parties. She left a while ago and told me to look for something to eat for dinner in the fridge.As I arranged my belongings in the empty closet, I could still hear her voice in my head.''I never really liked Troy...'' she said after I told her everything that happened. She told me before that marrying him was a mistake. She'd seen something in him. Some indications that he never really loved me. But I didn’t listen to her. I listened to what my heart was tell

''Wait, have you been drinking?''I knew he could smell the alcohol emanating from me, and I had to get away from him immediately, but he wouldn’t let me when I tried to break free from his hold.''Stay...'' he murmured, wrapping his arms around my waist, which made me clench my inner walls as if I was ready to receive him.''Enzo...'' I whispered back, my eyes flickered to his mouth, watching his tongue brush over his lower lip tantalizingly.''You need to rest...'' he said, and I rolled my eyes when he scooped me up and carried me bridal style before he ascended the stairs.

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

    Chapter 057Reese"I'll order shabu-shabu and tempura for you then," he declared, snapping the menu shut. "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.

"You can sit in the lobby first."Turning slowly, I realized there were people waiting behind me, leaving me no option but to follow the security guard. He guided me to the waiting area, where I observed people seated on the couch."Thank you...'' I sent the guard a small smile, and he smiled back, throwing me an apologetic look before he walked away.I sat down next to a man in a black suit who appeared to be waiting for his interview. He had the air of someone respectable, perhaps already holding a high position in a company. Next to him was a woman who was engrossed in scrolling through her phone.Leaning back against the couch, I let out an exhausted sigh. I knew I should wait for Enzo to appear in the lobby, but the question remained: how long would that wait be?After waiting for a few minutes, the man seated beside me stood up

    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

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

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?"
