Chapter 081

Reese

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let us all welcome Miss Riley Coleman!" 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? It's hard to believe you're about to tie the knot. The whole world is surprised that you're getting married so quic

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

    Chapter 085ReeseI had never imagined that Enzo's brain was so impaired that he would dare to invite Marcus to our wedding.What was going through his crazy mind? How could he make such a decision without consulting me first?That was so fucking immature! 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! I hate him!The sudden knock at the door jolted me awake, and I turned sharply to see the doorknob rattling, indicating that someone was trying to open the door from the other side."Let's go, Riley. 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

That was the only thought I could entertain about his intentions at the moment.My resentment towards him deepened when he made me witness Marcus with another woman just as I was about to enter into a marriage I never desired.It served as a stark reminder of my own turmoil.By the time I reached Enzo and faced him, my rage had eclipsed any sense of despair.Mr. Vincent embraced me, then leaned in to whisper something to Enzo before placing my hand in his.The matrimony began, and I attentively listened as the priest said, "Dear family and friends, we have gathered here together to witness Enzo and Riley, as they exchange their vows of marriage.

    Chapter 087ReeseFollowing our wedding, I was required to move into Enzo's residence in Manhattan. Despite it being a temporary two-year arrangement, I dreaded the thought of enduring what seemed like an ordeal.As I was set to take a hiatus, Diane and Grace did not accompany me. The absence of my whole team was heart-wrenching, as their support was my solace in tough times, and without them, I felt out of place even before stepping into Enzo's home.To complicate matters, Enzo had his own security detail, eliminating the need for Trevor to constantly follow me. Enzo was not inclined to let someone he didn't fully trust into his home.Nevertheless, Trevor was permitted to guard me whenever I left the premises, which, I assumed, would require Enzo's prior approval.Exhausted from the wedding and burdened with these concerns, I involuntarily succumbed to sleep on Enzo's private jet en route from Los Angeles to Manhattan.At least I wouldn't encounter Enzo in my dreams.

"She wanted to be at the wedding yesterday, but illness kept her away...''I furrowed my brows as I looked at him. Niece? That was unexpected. I wasn't aware that Enzo had one. I remembered that my team provided me with information about Enzo during a meeting at my house, mentioning he was the sole heir and successor to the L. Carter companies, with a stepsister from his mother's side. Technically, his stepsister had no current claim to his wealth. The niece he mentioned must be the daughter of his stepsister."Is she getting better now?'' was the first thing that crossed my mind.Enzo nodded slightly, his expression solemn yet lighting up as he spoke of his niece. "She's merely caught a cold...''Curiosity got the better of me, considering I was going to live with them. "Do you live with your stepsister?''He shook his head, a gesture t

A genuine smile. Not a smirk or a scoff.I swiftly dismissed the thoughts. Perhaps he concealed his devilish side because of Riza. He was really an excellent actor, and I despised him more for that. He was lying in front of his precious niece.The headache returned suddenly as I looked down at Riza, and just from considering how irritating Enzo could be now that we shared the same house.''I'm going to rest for a while first...'' I said, desiring a warm bath to relax my muscles and to lie down after the lengthy journey.''Well then, allow me to show you to your room...'' Enzo offered, and I followed him, offering one last smile to Riza, who was now being held by someone I presumed to be her nanny, before walking away.Enzo guided me to a spacious bedroom with another stunning view of the garden, and I

Enzo held my hand while his other hand clasped Riza's as we stepped inside. We were welcomed by a beautiful woman seated gracefully on the living room couch. She was someone I recognized but had yet to meet. Beatrice Jackson.''Hello, Enzo...'' she said with a flirtatious smile, rising from her seat to approach him, planting a kiss on his cheek. Her gaze remained fixed on him, seemingly oblivious to our presence.''Beatrice, what brings you here?'' Enzo inquired, releasing my hand to wipe away the lipstick mark on his cheek.''Oh, grandpa invited us for dinner. He mentioned you would be joining us...'' she replied nonchalantly, then took Enzo's hand from Riza's. ''Come on. They are waiting for

    Chapter 148TroyI stood up as the female warden escorted Mandy into the room where I was waiting for her. My brows knitted when I saw her current state. She was using a cane for support, and a metal brace extended along her right leg. What happened to her? Had she been involved in a fight with her fellow inmates?Our eyes locked, yet her expression revealed no emotion. She appeared to have lost considerable weight, her once fake ginger hair now dark and cut very short. Her complexion appeared quite pale, and she seemed excessively thin, a stark contrast to the woman I believed I had fallen in love with.Mandy was hardly recognizable.''Mandy...'' I spoke as she settled into the chair opposite me, with the guard positioned a few meters behind her.Mandy regarded me with an expressionless face. ''What the fuck are you doing here?''I observed her closely, noting the animosity reflected in her eyes.''I came to say goodbye. I'm leaving Manhattan...'' I replied, anticipating her inquiry

    Chapter 147Troy I had just paid a visit to my mother's grave and opted to enjoy a coffee at a nearby café beforehand. As I gazed through the glass window, I noticed a woman on the pavement across the street who bore a striking resemblance to my ex-wife. Her long peach dress, covered with a coat, fluttered in the breeze as she stood, lost in thought, staring down the road. She brushed a strand of her ginger hair away from her face with the back of her hand, a gesture so familiar that it sent a jolt through my heart.I rose abruptly, inadvertently knocking over my cup of coffee. The woman turned her lovely face upward, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as though she was looking directly into my eyes. In that instant, I realized that the woman was indeed my wife. I recognized her without a doubt.ReeseThe last time I had seen her at the office, she had noticed me but chose to ignore my presence, heading straight for the elevator to meet her husband, Lorenzo Carter.Prior to that, I h

Riza continued to recount these cherished memories to Asher, and I felt a wave of warmth envelop my heart as if I were reliving those moments. ''At bedtime, she reads my favorite stories and gives me yet another kiss before I drift off to sleep...''Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. Riza was cherishing every single moment we had shared.''Do you love your mom, Asher?'' Riza inquired, to which the boy nodded. ''I love my mommy too, but I feel like she doesn't love me...'' Her voice became strained, and my heart ached as I watched her cry, wiping her tears with her shirt. ''I wish we could be together forever. I wish she would never leave me again...''Oh, God!

It was Troy who had also disclosed all my favorites and personal details to him.As Enzo finished his story, my sobs became increasingly uncontrollable.My daughter had endured so much pain. She was aware that I was her mother, and all of this turmoil stemmed from the schemes of Mandy and Flora, who sought to destroy my life.My heart shattered further as the last words I had spoken about my daughter reverberated in my mind.What had I been thinking?

Please try to understand her...''Tears filled my eyes as I recalled how Nick Rivers found Reese and my daughter.''Both Reese and your daughter survived the accident.

''Please, I don't want anyone to disturb me. Your husband sent me to jail! I hate him! I hate both of you!''I began to feel a surge of impatience. She was evading my question. ''Who is the sister you mentioned when you tried to shoot me? Who else was imprisoned besides you?'' I retorted, and once more, Flora hesitated to answer me.The seconds of silence stretched on, and it felt like ages to me.''N-nothing...'' the moment she stammered, I knew something wasn't right.

This situation heightened my unease, leaving my thoughts in disarray regarding the events that had transpired.I had no idea what was going on. Why people around me said things that were incomprehensible, making me feel as though I was the only one without understanding.As Mrs. Martin's expression shifted to one of panic due to Enzo's continued silence, a sharp headache struck me once more. The image of Riza's tearful gaze lingered in my mind, and I felt as though I might faint from the intensity of the pain.I slowly moved away from them, making my way upstairs to Enzo's bedroom. Perched on the edge of the bed, I pressed my hand against my head, grimacing in discomfort. I was starting to think that I had significantly underestimated the severity of this headache.Could it be attributed to my lack of sleep the previous night? That seemed unlikely. As
