Chapter 112Reese''Enzo...'' I whispered his name, my voice husky. 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. '
Chapter 001Reese''Don't worry about me, I'll just call my daughter if I need something...'' The words were spoken in a hushed voice by my mother-in-law as she lovingly clasped my hand, her soft eyes looking tenderly at me. She was currently resting in her bed, exhibiting signs of weakness due to the severe disease that had been diagnosed by the doctor.Because she was so ill, she required my assistance in everything, including preparing her meals, feeding her, assisting her in going to the bathroom, and a great deal of other things.Mia, my mother-in-law's only daughter and the younger sister of my husband, worked as a nurse at St. Jude Hospital. However, rather than taking care of her own mother, she decided to work and provide assistance to other people, which would undoubtedly result in her coming into financial gain.When I took a quick look at the clock that was hanging on the wall, I noticed that it was only fifteen minutes before five o'clock in the afternoon. In a short amou
Chapter 002Reese''Fuck me harder and deeper, Troy!'' the woman repeated, and as an obedient lover, Troy flipped the woman over, and without giving her any warning, he thrust his hard shaft inside her, harder and quicker, which caused her to groan even louder.I felt myself getting dizzy, and I had to lean against the wall to stop myself from passing out. Troy's right hand was holding her waist while fucking her hard, and the other hand was massaging her breast, simultaneously pinching her nipple. He released a low, loud groan before he opened his mouth to talk to the woman. ‘‘Fucking shit! You're still so fucking tight, baby…’’I tore my gaze away from Troy and instead focused my attention on the woman who was now on all fours. I waited for her to speak, but she was too busy writhing and moaning like a wild animal.I watched Troy fuck her for a few times before pulling out his still hard and swollen member. He flipped her again so that she was lying on her back. ''Mandy, baby…’’ he
Chapter 003ReeseI raised my palm to stop him from talking further. It was clear as water that he persuaded me just to get mom. He used me. He only married me, but he never loved me. He was head over heels in love with her. With my mother!Rage gripped me by the throat, and I swallowed the lump, but it stayed there and I almost choked.Anger rose within me, and then it swelled, and then it slammed me, walloping my entire being, killing me.I blinked my eyes, attempting to stop the fresh tears that were beginning to form in my eyes. The words he said to me delivered a hard blow in my gut, and made me want to puke on his face.''I'm sorry, Reese…'' Troy's voice again. ''I'm sorry---''''Sorry for what? That I found out about your affair?''He shook his head. ''I'm sorry that I hurt you. That you found out like this…''I glared at him, and without saying anything more, I turned on my heels and went downstairs, and then I found myself running. I ran blindly, beads of water clung to my cl
Chapter 004ReeseI was shocked, my eyes widened in surprise. I didn’t expect this man to pull me into a kiss. I was completely stunned, and it seemed like everything was moving in a slow motion as he kissed me. I didn’t know what was happening to me, but the raging sensation that I was experiencing inside manifested itself as a fire.Thinking back about what happened earlier in the house when I had caught mom and Troy, made me move and taste back the man’s lips after closing my eyes. I felt his lips curve into a smile before he took control. He kissed me tenderly, and I enjoyed the sensation of his soft lips brushing against mine. Even the slightest contact with his lips caused waves of warmth to travel all the way down to my stomach.When his hands started to travel from my shoulders down to my waist, I found myself encircling my arms around his neck, drawing him closer to me.The corners of my mouth were explored by his tongue in a way that was both kind and demanding, causing me to
Chapter 005Reese''Want more?'' His voice made me turn to look at him, and a smirk displayed on his lips as if he was enjoying what he was seeing. He was now holding the bottle of the hard liquor. ''This is vodka...''I nodded, holding out my glass to him. After he poured down almost half of the glass, I quickly took another sip, and then another, and another, until I emptied it. Until I noticed that my head had begun to spin, and as I looked around the living room, I could feel my vision becoming blurry.As I cast my gaze upwards toward the ceiling, the dazzling light from the chandelier caused my eyes to squint. The only colors I could make out were black and gray. This was a man’s house. He’s not married yet.Just as I was about to turn around to face the man, I felt two warm arms wrap around me. ''I can’t wait, baby...'' he murmured, his minty mixed with alcohol breath fanning the back of my ear, which instantly sent a tingle sensation down my spine, and goosebumps appeared all ov
Chapter 006ReeseThe man stood up to his full height, and in a single second, I was spun around with him caging me in his grasp. Bubbles were spread all over his body, and it seemed like he actually took time to rub himself with the shower gel as well, while I was deeply absorbed in my thoughts. ''I’ll satisfy you, baby. I promise you that...'' was all he said before he smashed his lips against mine.Just as I was about to respond to the kiss, he retreated back, touching his forehead against mine. ''I’ll give you a chance to change your mind...'' he breathed, his voice barely audible. ''Just tell me, and I’ll drive you back home. I'll take you back to your...''I shook my head. There was no turning back. I’m going to do this.''Are you sure?''I nodded.He opened his mouth to speak once again, but I tiptoed and crashed my lips to his, making him gasp, but soon kissed me back.On the contrary, this kiss was anything simple and gentle. He was hungry and ready to devour me tonight.The t
Chapter 007ReeseTo my astonishment, Enzo lifted one of my legs and placed it on his shoulder, which made him enter deeper as he continued to drive his hard member inside me.The sight made me stare at him in disbelief and aroused at the same time, with him pounding into me with so much desire in those steely blue eyes while sweat was dripping from his temples.''Fuck!'' he cursed out loud when I unintentionally squeezed my walls, and I felt his warm seeds explode inside of me.Both of us were panting by the time he pulled out from me, and collapsed beside me, allowing ourselves to catch our own breaths.After he managed to compose himself, Enzo turned to look at me. I didn’t move, as I was still trying to calm my heartbeat while I stared blankly at the ceiling.''I didn’t know that you were a...''I rolled to my side with my back facing him. I didn’t want to have a conversation with him after everything that had taken place.He didn’t know I was a virgin, and I didn’t tell him that I
Chapter 112Reese''Enzo...'' I whispered his name, my voice husky. 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. '
Chapter 111Reese''Now, you're the seeker, Leese!'' Riza laughed as she scampered off to hide.Later that afternoon, following Riza's return from school, we engaged in a game of hide and seek. 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. Although they seemed delicious to my mind, my stomach disagreed.In fact, it was my heart that felt uneasy, to the point where I lost my
Chapter 109Enzo''May I attend my daughter's birthday party?'' Vincent implored, his eyes beseeching as he gazed at me.''I'm sorry, Dad, but I've only invited her close friends to surprise her...'' I replied. ''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. ''I'll explain that you're the closest elder I have in my life right now...''Thankfully, Reese never questioned it.I also made it clear to Vincent that we couldn't force Reese to remember everything like what the doctor said, and I was relieved he
Chapter 108Enzo''It's true...'' Troy's mouth fell open in shock as he realized Mandy wasn't Reese's biological mother. With each word he read, his frown deepened. ''Mandy isn't her real mother. 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. But I don't care about him. I just wanted to give Reese the justice
Chapter 107Enzo''I'm so sorry...'' Troy Byers stammered as he knelt before me, his face drenched with tears. ''I didn't know you were Mr. L. Carter. I...'' he faltered, his lips quivering. ''I'm so sorry, Mr. Carter...''''Stand up...'' I commanded, rising from my seat and straightening my suit before approaching him.Yet, Troy stayed on his knees, bowed his head, and grasped at my legs when I finally got closer to him. ''I'll do anything, everything, just to remain in your company. Please don't fire me, Mr. Carter, please!''Observing his tears, I recognized his pitiful state. He was unworthy of Reese's affection. He didn't deserve Reese even in the slightest.''Do you know where Reese goes?'' I inquired, my hands balling into fists at my sides as I gazed down at him, noting how his hair fell over his eyes. His hair, now longer, did not complement him. It made him appear unkempt and disheveled.Troy shook his head. As he began to speak, I stopped him with my palm and motioned for h
Chapter 106Enzo''May I attend my daughter's birthday party?'' Vincent implored, his eyes beseeching as he gazed at me.I had just finished a meeting with him at his residence regarding the new branch of L. Carter we planned to establish in Russia. Although he had divested his shares in my company to focus on his own enterprise, I still desired his involvement in my business as my father-in-law and one of the pivotal reasons for L. Carter's sustained success. He had not once forsaken my company during my absence.Observing his aged yet distinguished features, I was involuntarily transported back to the days when Reese left me.Recalling the occasion, I accompanied Candice to Germany for Asher's treatment. I simultaneously endeavored to launch a branch of my firm there, aiming to erase Reese from my heart and mind. I had solicited Vincent to take over L. Carter in Manhattan during my German sojourn, but he declined due to commitments to his own venture, CC Stone Group. Consequently, I
Chapter 105ReeseAfter we finished our dinner, it was Riza's bedtime. Enzo carried her in his arms carefully as I walked alongside them. I frowned slightly as we passed the dimly lit living room, which still provided enough light to guide us up the stairs.In Riza's room, we stood by her bed as she crawled under the covers.''Goodnight, Riza. Sleep well...'' Enzo whispered, planting a kiss on her cheek. Riza wrapped her arms around his neck and returned a kiss on his forehead, a tender exchange that left me in silent admiration.Despite Enzo's occasional irksome and mischievous behavior, he transformed into a gentle soul around Riza. His tenderness towards her was a sign of the great father he was destined to become someday.''Goodnight, Uncle Enzo...'' Riza smiled at him before turning to me. ''Can I have a goodnight kiss from you too, Leese?''A warm smile graced my lips; she didn't even need to ask.As Enzo moved aside, I leaned closer to Riza and planted a kiss on her forehead. '
Chapter 104ReeseEnzo's tone conveyed deep regret for his previous words to me. It seemed as if he was earnestly trying to convince me that he was different from those who had hurt me, that he was trustworthy. Despite not knowing him well, his apology allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief.I looked at him playfully, shaking my head in amazement. ''You really have a way of making amends, huh?''All Enzo did was respond with laughter, and for a moment, I saw how hot and gorgeous he was while laughing.I shook my head to brush the thought away. It was impossible for me to fall in love with him.What?Fall in love? Where did that come from?''Leese!'' Riza called out, diverting my attention away from Enzo to her. I noticed that she was clutching a canvas with her painting on it. It wasn't particularly large, but it was certainly sizable for a child of her age.My eyes widened in astonishment as I beheld her artwork. It may not have resembled the work of professional artists like George
