Chapter 123ReeseEnzo's gaze softened as he settled back beside my bed, gently stroking my hand. ''Okay...'' he whispered. ''I won't leave you alone. I'm staying right here with you...'' His voice carried such tenderness, and I trusted him.His fingers lightly grazed my cheek, prompting me to close my eyes, only to open them again at the sound of his reassuring words.''There's nothing to worry about. You can take a rest again...'' he said, assisting me to recline once more, and I exhaled a sigh of relief.Despite my reluctance to shut my eyes, they were heavy with mental exhaustion.Yet, with Enzo's presence, I persuaded myself that all was well, that the nightmares would not return.And for that, I was grateful they did not.*********After several hours of sleep, I awoke to find the clock displaying three in the morning. I had assumed I slept through a significant portion of the night, yet dawn had not even broken.As I turned to my side, I saw Enzo, fast asleep with his head rest
Chapter 124ReeseBreakfast seemed more delicious than usual, perhaps because my heart was filled with contentment.I watched Riza drink her milk with a smile. Despite our offer to let her stay home from school due to feeling unwell after yesterday's accident, she was adamant about attending, excited for her favorite subject, which was Art.Once breakfast was over, Felicia, Riza's nanny, took her school bag trolley, and Riza appeared eager to get to school.''I'm so excited about going to school today!'' she exclaimed. ''We're going to paint on a small canvas!''Her excitement about the upcoming school activity made a smile touch my lips. Then, Enzo stood up from his seat, and I noticed something in him.His tie was askew.As he walked around the table towards me, I moved closer, meeting him. Stopping in front of me, I reached up and straightened his tie, smiling as I looked up at him.Once again, the adoration in his eyes made my heart flutter.Suddenly, he reached to give me a passi
Chapter 125ReeseEnzo and I faced each other on the bed, our eyes squeezed shut as ur foreheads touched, and so did our lips. We stayed like that for a while in silence, before I brushed my lips against his, kissing him softly. My lips moved very slowly, trying to test him first, and I smiled secretly when he kissed me back with equal fervor.He raked his fingers through my hair, down to my nape and pulled me closer as he deepened the kiss. I moaned, loving the way he was making me feel.''Reese...'' He rasped after pulling away, a warning look in his eyes, as if he knew that continuing would inevitably lead to more.And that was what I needed right now. Him. I needed him so badly that I didn't want him to stop kissing me.It was peculiar that whenever I experienced a nightmare, he was the only one who could soothe my heart and bring the nightmare to an end.He might have thought that we would only be cuddling to sleep. I was also expecting that, but now that I was lying here next to
Chapter 126ReeseA gentle smile graced my lips as I observed the maids transferring my belongings into Enzo's bedroom. Enzo and I had decided to share a bedroom now that we found it hard to be apart from each other.I shook my head, amused, and let out a soft chuckle. Initially, I had never imagined such a turn of events with him, nor that my feelings for him would develop.Gazing out of the window in Enzo's bedroom, my eyes were drawn to the yellow roses blooming in the garden. The view was breathtaking, a sight I never had from my own room.This perfect panorama of the garden, brimming with my favorite flowers, was visible only from this room and the gallery. It seemed as if Enzo had anticipated what would bring me joy.Quite peculiar.I sighed softly. The anticipation of Riza and Enzo's return home today was palpable; I was eager to be with them once more.I let out another chuckle. Was I starting to sound like a desperate housewife?Suddenly, I realized that I was uncomfortable w
Chapter 127Reese''Beatrice Jackson was set to marry Lorenzo Carter next month, but the whole world was shocked when he married the famous model, Riley Coleman.''Oh my God! Beatrice Jackson was the woman Enzo's grandfather wanted him to marry!With a trembling hand, I quickly dialed Jimmy's number.''Yes, Riley?'' he answered. ''Did you forget something?''''Well, Jimmy, I...'' I stuttered, my heart pounding as I struggled to find the words to tell him about what I had found out.''Yeah? What is it?'' I could sense his frown through the phone, and I cleared my throat before I spoke.''I changed my mind. I don't want to collaborate with Beatrice Jackson anymore...'' I blurted out, my heart racing. I had a feeling she planned this. I haven't met her, but I already had a bad feeling. I don't want to be involved with people Enzo turned away from to marry me, especially his family-his grandparents.''What? But why?'' Jimmy exclaimed, his tone rising. I couldn't blame him though. He arran
Chapter 128ReeseI was on my bed, browsing the internet for a model to collaborate with, aiming to make up for Jimmy and my team's effort on the wasted project with Beatrice Jackson. Although I knew they understood my decision, I couldn't help but worry, knowing that they had been planning this for a long time.As I clicked the mouse, my phone suddenly dinged beside my laptop. My heart fluttered when I saw a message from Enzo.''I miss you, baby...'''A smile instantly appeared on my lips as I read his message. Wasn't he supposed to be busy at work? How could he still find time to think about me?I responded to his message, sending him a kiss gif.''I don't want that kiss. I want the real one...''A soft laugh escaped my mouth as I read his response. The boss was in desperate need of some affection right now.I showered him kiss gifs and emojis, but his reply made me laugh louder.''Reese, come here right now and give me the real one, please...''Did he really think that I could just
Chapter 129Reese''Mr. Vincent...'' I was taken aback when the old man suddenly hugged me, but what surprised me even more was the calming effect it had. My heartbeat steadied, and my body stopped shaking. So, I hugged him back, wrapping my free arm around him, as the other hand was holding a bag with the lunchbox.''I am pleased you decided to visit here. I have been eagerly anticipating seeing you again...'' he said, gently running his palm over my back.As I pulled away, I noticed tears welling up in his eyes. He smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes. ''I'm so sorry, I just missed my daughter...'' he said, masking his emotions with a chuckle. ''Are you here to see Enzo?''''Yes...'' I smiled back, lifting the bag and showing it to him. ''I brought him lunch. Would you like to join us?''''Oh, no, thank you. I do not wish to intrude on your time together...'' he declined, shaking his head. ''I just came here for some documents to be signed. My personal assistant is sick, so I ca
Chapter 130Reese''Oh, the woman outside is the temporary replacement for Owen...'' he said, studying me with amusement and excitement in his eyes. He seemed to be enjoying my interrogation. ''He took a leave a week ago because his daughter is sick. He's in the hospital right now taking care of her...''"And the other woman?" I asked, raising a brow.''Oh, Mrs. Brown? Her husband is one of the shareholders of the company. He's in Russia right now, so she was the one who scheduled a meeting with me...'' he explained, before kissing my forehead.''Wait, what made you hire Missy?'' I asked, feeling a pang of jealousy at the thought he might have hired her because she was pretty. ''I mean, she doesn't look professional enough to me. She doesn't seem to fit working as your secretary...'' I said, voicing my thoughts openly.Enzo chuckled. ''Oh, I apologize. I didn't give it much thought. She's only temporary---a week or two. The HR manager recommended her to me, telling me that she has a g
Chapter 134ReeseI found myself gazing into the mirror of my dresser, already adorned in a satin strapless silvery gown with a deep V-neck, elegantly revealing my cleavage. The high slit on my right thigh added to the gown's sophistication and allure, but I had no concerns about men seeing me, as Enzo would be accompanying me to the event.A gentle smile appeared on my lips as my fingers brushed against the rose pendant on my neck, a gift from Enzo.Suddenly, he appeared behind me, placing a kiss on my left shoulder as he gazed at me in the mirror. ''You are so beautiful, baby...'' he whispered, unaware of how breathless he made me feel as well. He looked exceedingly handsome in his dark suit, his hair neatly brushed back, revealing his gorgeous forehead.I sighed in content, leaning into his touch as he encircled my waist with his arms.''Reese...'' he called out softly, his warm breath tickling my ear. ''Are you happy being with Riza and me?'' he inquired, gazing at me intently thr
Chapter 133Reese''I guess you're just horny. You're going to jump into the water just because you can't make your husband's dick get hard?''I abruptly opened my eyes, and I blinked a few times before I stared at the ceiling of Enzo's bedroom. I could hear the sound of birds chirping from the outside as rays of sunlight lit the room through the glass window.And then I heard the sound of water in the bathroom, indicating that Enzo was taking a shower, and getting ready for work.As I slowly sat up on the bed, I pressed my palm over my chest, noticing how fast my heart was beating.I didn't experience any more nightmares. I was no longer frightened, but there was a profound pain in my chest from the words I heard in my recent dream.''I guess, you're just horny. You're going to jump into the water just because you can't make your husband's dick get hard?''I could not be mistaken. That was Enzo's voice. But when did he say it? How did he know Troy's dick couldn't get hard? And where
Chapter 132ReeseEnzo didn't go to work the next day because he was teaching Riza how to swim. I stood by the side of the pool, watching them, and couldn't help but smile as Riza swam towards me with her uncle's help. Halfway through the lap, Enzo removed the hand that had been supporting Riza's stomach, and she continued to move towards me, with Enzo still by her side, keeping a close watch.A proud smile touched my lips as Riza reached the end of the pool. I bent down as she leaned against the edge, facing me, and I could see happiness radiating all over her face.''Did you see that, Leese?'' she asked, excitement could be heard in her voice. ''Did you see how I made it? I can finally swim!''I felt tears welling up in my eyes, overwhelmed by immense joy and proudness of her accomplishment. It was even more profound than the happiness I experienced when I became a famous model.How could this be? The bond I felt with this little girl was incredible.''I'm so proud of you, Riza! You
Chapter 131ReeseEnzo gazed up at me while his lips remained fixed on my moist center. He seemed to be torturing me even more when he slowed down. He then licked my clit more quickly, but his finger moved extremely slowly, causing my hand to grasp at the wall behind me and arch my back. This allowed me to force his tongue flicks to move faster.I nearly moaned in protest as he withdrew and removed his finger from inside me.He got up from his kneeling position and interlaced our fingers, pinning my wrists against the wall. I tasted myself in his mouth as he planted a kiss on my lips. His thick shaft gently entered me, and I groaned.''Enzo...'' I moaned when I felt him inside me, feeling like I was in heaven as he slowly moved in and out of me.In reaction to my moans, he groaned and started kissing me from my jaw all the way down to my neck, swirling his tongue as his hot breath kissed my skin with passion. He released my left wrist to stroke his thumb on my clit, whispering, ''I al
