Chapter 043

Reese

To 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

He required a blood transfusion, but since their blood types didn't match, she had to reach out to her ex-husband, Asher's father, for help."Thank you for helping me bring Asher here...'' Candice said as she sat down next to me in the waiting area. "I don't know what I would have done without you, Enzo...''I nodded, reaching out to gently pat her head, but she scooted closer, and wrapped her arms around me. I could feel her shoulders shake as she sobbed, and I sighed, hugging her back, giving her the comfort she needed.After she calmed down, she pulled away, wiping her tears with her hand.

Now that he needs blood transfusion, I don't know how to approach Ethan with this kind of face...''According to Vincent's story, Candice was assaulted by a man six years ago. When she attempted to

"What do you want?""I just wanted to ask if you've seen Reese. I was with her earlier, but I had to leave her because..." Reese's mother furrowed her brows, looking at me as if wondering why I was offering an explanation. "I'm sorry, has she returned here?"Her eyes narrowed as though she were contemplating something, then she folded her arms across her chest. "Yeah, she came here this afternoon..." she nodded, and I exhaled in relief."Can I, uh, talk to her?" I asked, moving closer to her, but she raised a hand, stopping me."She's not here...''''What? But you said...""Yes, she came here this afternoon just to collect her remaining belongings and left immediately afterwards."Realizing she wasn't here either, my shoulders sagged in an instant."She left a message, by the way..."

    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

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

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 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

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!

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.

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.

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

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."

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.
