Chapter 032

Reese

I 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 033ReeseI let myself stand in front of our old room, my heart began beating in a frantic rhythm in my chest. My knees were melting, and my skin was turning cold as a result of the fear and worry that I was experiencing. I leaned against the door, and my knuckles were gripping the knob as if I was hesitant to take the steps to enter the bedroom.I took a few deep breaths, forcing the much-needed air into my lungs. I was tight with anxiety as I silently tried to reassure myself to calm down and everything would be alright.I could hear the sound of my mom’s soft sobbing from down the stairs, while Troy’s low murmurs soothed her.I finally pushed the door open, and the bedding quickly caught my attention, my heart breaking as I gazed fixedly at the bed. I walked towards it and perched on the edge, swallowing the lump in my throat as I ran my fingertips over the pink floral beddings that my mom had definitely set for Troy.I shook my head in disapproval. Troy preferred linens th

    Chapter 034ReeseI made sure to close the door of the bedroom where mom left it open after running away crying, and then I trudged towards the closet and drew out a fresh towel from it.I crossed to the bathroom, careful not to wake Troy as he slept peacefully. Studying myself in the mirror, I smiled at the visage that was looking back at me. Although my eyes were puffy and swollen as a result of all the crying that I did last night, my skin was glowing. My eyes were beaming up, and there was a genuine smile plastered across my face. I looked exactly how I felt.It was full of hopes and dreams.I yanked open the medicine cabinet where I had placed a spare toothbrush, and I was relieved mom refrained from meddling with the things that I had organized here in the bathroom.I brushed my teeth and stepped into the shower, groaning in appreciation as the warm water soothed my abused muscles, I had no idea were tensed. Well, maybe from being dragged by Troy last night from the restaurant--

My breath caught, and I instinctively took a step back, my heart racing when Enzo rose up from his seat, stifling a groan as the burning passion escalated, and it could clearly be seen in his eyes.''Enzo...'' I murmured, running my tongue over my dry lips to moisten them. ''You should leave now. We might get caught. And I don't want that to happen. I don't know how to explain it to them yet...''But his feet seemed to develop on their own as they moved towards me, walking in slow, deliberate strides that brought closer to me. And my eyes widened in panic as I retreated with every step I took.''What if I tell you I don't want to?'' he taunted, his lips curved in a mocking smile. ''Are you afraid we might get caught, or you're afraid of what I'm going to do to you?''''I'm not afraid of anyone. Come on, try me...'' I scoffed, leveling a challenging

    Chapter 036ReeseThere 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

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...

''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.

    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

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.

    Chapter 056Reese"Excuse me, ma'am, you see there are other visitors lining up." he said in a polite tone, gesturing for me to sit in the waiting area. "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?"
