Perhaps I could also seek his assistance. I had a plan to return and settle scores with those who had wronged me. What a brilliant idea, Riley. I chuckled to myself, considering how Enzo could be instrumental in my planned retribution against my ex-husband and mother.

Yet, the most heartbreaking aspect was the acknowledgment that deep within, the primary motive for marrying Enzo was to remove Flora from my life—the very person who saved me.

However, I harbored the hope that once she realized I was no longer her financial resource, she would cease treating me as such. She ought to have understood that she didn't need to dominate me to acquire wealth, for I would readily share my fortune with her.

We landed atop Enzo's building and proceeded to his office as before, guided by Owen, his personal assistant. As I entered his office, Trevor attempted to follow, but two men guarding the door quickly seized his arms, preventing him from stepping inside.

    Chapter 079ReeseI understood that the agency's response was a typical diplomatic one given when a model broke up with another, but as a supermodel myself, I was all too familiar with the dreadful experience of receiving global hate, and I didn't wish for Marcus to endure that, despite him cheating on me.I was acutely aware of his emotional turmoil."It's enough for me if the world understands that I wasn't unfaithful to him...'' I said. "When it became public knowledge that Dr. Smith assaulted me, the accusations of my cheating will no longer hold."Enzo's eyes darkened, and the fleeting anger I glimpsed earlier now spread across his face.He strode towards me, closing the distance until we were merely an inch apart.His jaw muscle twitched as he said, "Firstly, I will decide how to retract the news.

"Invite anyone you like, Grace...''

Steve Harley's voice resonated throughout the venue as I stepped onto the stage, offering a smile and a wave to the studio audience, who applauded warmly. The turnout was impressive, and it was heartening to see that I still had a considerable following. It seemed Enzo had been successful in rehabilitating my image, convincing my fans of my innocence about the allegations and rumors about me.Steve greeted me with a handshake and a peck on the cheek before I settled onto the couch facing him."How are you doing, Riley?'' he began the conversation, his wide smile revealing a perfect set of white teeth."I'm fine, Steve. Always doing great!'' I responded, smiling in return and crossing my legs."I've heard you're quite busy with your wedding preparations...'' he remarked. "Any wedding jitters?

I answered, eliciting an'aw'from the audience."Of course, you're going to choose your husband-to-be," Steve remarked.Another photo appeared on the screen alongside Enzo's, and I gasped softly, wishing I wasn't caught in the camera. It was Marcus.The audience's volume increased, and I silently cursed, admiring the cunning of whoever had devised this plan, knowing it would send the show's ratings soaring instantly."I'm certain Marcus won't harbor any hard feelings," I said with a wistful smile. "Enzo," I chose, my voice a notch softer and gentler than before, yet still audible to everyone in the studio."Great job, Riley!" Steve exclaimed, oblivious to how the game had made me wish I could vanish from that place.The thought of facing Enzo again filled me with dread. I hoped he wouldn't see this episode when it aired, and the mere idea was enough to make me cringe with embarrassment.Indeed, I have to acknowledge that the show was quite entertaining for t

    Chapter 083ReeseI gazed at Diane and Grace in horror, and the look on their faces after hearing my words was even more dreadful. They appeared utterly terrified."Reese..." Mr. Vincent clasped my hand and gave it a warm squeeze, as if to reassure me that everything would be fine. "It's okay, sweetheart. I'll let Enzo know that you don't want to marry him. I'll speak to him on your behalf, my dear. It's okay. It's going to be okay...''While I pondered why his words were laden with concern, my instincts assured me that he was simply worried about me. Perhaps he saw in me the daughter he missed, and for that, I was thankful."Riley..." Grace advanced toward me, her eyes fixed on Mr. Vincent with disapproval. I recoiled, slipping my hand from Mr. Vincent's grasp, and began to pace the room in a state of panic."I'm sorry, but I can't do this...'' I uttered, my voice quivering. "I can't marry him."Oh my God! What was I thinking? The guests must have all arrived by now, and if I called

Now, I stood on the verge of beginning a new chapter with Enzo, where we would mutually use each other, not out of care or love."Reese Cooper...'' Enzo's voice trembled, not with the effort to hold back tears like mine, but with the strain of containing his anger. "You're speaking of those who wrecked your life. Those who used you to ruin you! I won't be one of them! Do you believe that leaving this marriage now will benefit you? Do you think it's the best option for you? Answer me!"His raised voice caused me to flinch. Presented with his perspective, my mind swirled with numerous thoughts. What would become of me if I were to walk away from this marriage?The scandalous news would soon hit the media, and swiftly, it would become global knowledge. I would become the butt of the nation's jokes once more. They might view me as the woman who refused to settle down, an ungrateful person who abandoned her dev

So irresponsible!Indeed, he knew I would never invite Marcus, which was precisely why he kept it from me.And did I just hear that Marcus was actually here at my wedding?This arrogant bastard was really impossible!

The guests are already waiting...'' Jimmy called from behind the door, and I bit my lip nervously as I glanced up at Enzo, who stood beside me. I saw a muscle in his jaw twitch, his gaze fixed on the door.He then looked at me, and I swiftly averted my gaze away from him. "I'll wait for you at the altar...'' he stated, his

My heart seemed to be continuously sliced, leaving my soul feeling empty.Even in the darkness, with only the faint glow from the garden lamps, the yellow roses in my garden were visible. They were her favorite, Byers had told me, and I had planted them over the years, just to witness her smile once more upon seeing them.I had been waiting for her return all this time. And finally she was here, and now my beloved wife.Yet, I hurt her once more. I understood her earlier reaction. She had been abducted by Mandy and her lover, and perhaps they had harmed her in some way, which she recalled when I pressured her, and I despised myself for causing her that pain.I compelled her to recall that trauma, and the urge to inflict pain upon myself was overwhelming.Pain constricted my throat, and the solitary tear that dropped onto my cheek took me by surprise.

He forced me to kiss him...''Enzo regarded me with indifference, and I felt as though all the air had been sucked from my lungs, leaving me breathless.Oh my God...He didn't believe me at all.Tears began to gather in my eyes, and I couldn't recall when I had become so vulnerable because of him. Why did his apathy wound me so deeply that I felt on the verge of shattering?Hadn't I grown accustomed to being accused and disbelieved?''Seriously, Enzo?'' I questioned, incredulous. ''Had I intended to cheat, I wouldn't have even mentioned his presence to you. I can't believe it...'' I huffed. ''You're not that blind, aren't you?''He scoffed again, placing his hands on his hips.''Come on, Reese. Me, blind? You knew I would figure it out even if you hadn't told me about it. That's why you texted me, right? So I wouldn't just show up at your workplace like during the pageant...'' Each word

Why can't you just leave me alone, Marcus Andretti!?''I had no desire to endure more drama. After his actions, I deserved a distance of a thousand miles from him, just like how I put a space between myself and my ex-husband.Marcus' gaze bore into me, his jaw muscles twitching, fists clenched at his sides. ''Really?'' he smirked, ''You're asking me now what I want from you?'' he rasped, and I could hear his teeth gritting.I met his gaze with a blank expression, utterly clueless of what he wanted from me.''I want to fucking kiss you, hug you, touch you...'' he huffed a breath, before he slowly closed the distance between us, and whispered, ''I want to make you fucking mine again, Riley...''And with that, he cupped my face in between his large hands and kissed me harshly, muffling the sound I was going to make.My

    Chapter 113ReeseMarcus arrived on set, warmly greeting the staff members. He hadn't noticed me yet, and I couldn't help but wonder if he was aware of my photoshoot here.What was he doing here? No one had mentioned that he would be at the studio today.The make-up artist, who had just finished enhancing my look, seemed to pick up on the surprise etched across my face. Kara gave me a curious glance.''You seem unaware that Marcus will be joining us for work today. We apologize for not informing you beforehand, Miss Riley. We're featuring him in an article for our next magazine issue, which will span roughly eight pages. That's unbelievable, don't you think?'' she chuckled, continuing to style my hair.If she found that unbelievable, I can't imagine what she would think of my thoughts at this moment. It seemed that fate enjoyed the notion of Marcus and me crossing paths again.However, given that we worked in the same industry, it was highly likely we would meet again.''He wasn't sch

I was aware of what he was doing to me, but my mind was far away from stopping what was going to happen.''I'm sorry...'' he said, running his fingertips on my kissmarks, and my heart skipped a bit when he leaned forward, placing soft kisses on each of them. ''I hope you feel better now...''My thoughts were in disarray as he pressed another kiss onto my collarbone, seemingly healing all the marks he had left.''Enzo, please...'' I pleaded, my hands resting on his shoulders, torn between pulling him closer and pushing him away.He stopped, shooting me a playful look. ''Are you scared that Riza will hear you moan and find us?''My cheeks reddened at his words. ''There must be some misunderstanding...'' I countered, turning away from him. ''For your information, I do not moan...''Enzo slightly chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. ''Really? But you just did. Didn't you hear yourself just now?''I shook my head. '

It was my turn to count, and I pressed my forehead against the living room wall, counting from one to ten, while Riza sought a hiding spot. A subtle smile crept onto my lips.Once my counting ceased, I surveyed the room. Judging by the sounds, Riza hadn't strayed far.''Riza...'' I called out, grinning. ''Where are you, my baby?'' I playfully teased, beginning my search around the living room.Embarking on a hiatus from the limelight to share a life with Lorenzo Carter, I hadn't anticipated the sheer delight my heart would experience, frolicking with such a spirited little one.Feeling grateful for everything that had happened, I was still troubled by the thought of Enzo keeping secrets from me, making me question if marrying him was the right decision.What would Troy think about me marrying h

    Chapter 110ReeseBefore I realized it, tears were cascading down my cheeks, and Enzo drew me into a tight embrace. I wept uncontrollably, my face pressed against his chest, my arms wrapped tightly around him.I had never allowed myself to be so vulnerable in front of anyone, and it was ironic that Enzo was the person comforting me right now as I fell apart. My shoulders trembled, and my cries filled the room.I was unaware of how much time had passed as I wept, occasionally fearing Enzo might leave me. Yet, he stayed, holding me closer with each tear I shed.Noticing my depleted strength, he lifted me up and walked towards the bed.He sat down, settling me on his lap, and continued to embrace me as I continued to cry into his chest.And gradually, I began to release my hold.**********This morning's breakfast consisted of pancakes, bacon, and eggs.

''I think she'll be confused if she sees you there again...''I understood my father-in-law's feelings; he simply wanted to be part of Reese's significant life events, just as he was at our wedding. It was I who asked Vincent to walk Reese down the aisle, and he couldn't have been happier.''What if Reese wonders why I'm the one walking her down the aisle?'' I remember Vincent asking me on the day of our wedding, his voice tinged with worry yet laced with excitement.''Don't worry about it...'' I reassured him, patting his shoulder.

She even abducted her with her lover...''The thought of Reese suffering at Mandy's and her lover's hands made me clench my fists, and grit my teeth in rage. I couldn't help but hold the man before me responsible for everything that had happened to her.''But why?'' Troy's expression was one of confusion. ''Why would she do that to her?''I had no idea why Mandy had kidnapped Reese. My assumption was that Reese had caught her with her lover, and perhaps threatened to expose them to Troy.''I need your help to put Mandy behind bars...'' I declared to Troy with a commanding tone.Hesitation flickered in his eyes as he met my gaze. He was still in love with Mandy after everything he found out. It was clearly written in his eyes.
