Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Two - Nicholas Proposes
Nicholas gazed at her angelic face, her soft pink lips that unknowingly confessed her deepest feelings for him. It was the last thing he had expected to hear, and it made his heart skip a beat with anticipation that maybe she would give their relationship a chance. After getting a taste of her, he was so drunk in her sweetness that the prospect of having a relationship with her pleased him a lot. He knew he needed to make love to her again or he would die! Being in a relationship with her would give him ample chance to do what his heart desired! “Now that I know, I’ll never let you go. You’re mine for life, Alyssa,” he murmured, planting a peck on her sweet lips. A euphoric smile spread across his face after having admitted that to her. He didn’t know what he felt for her, but whatever it was, it couldn’t be easily erased. He needed her every day, every minute, every second near him to survive. She had become his elemental need! Nicholas pulled on his clothes and closed his eyes, t
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Three - Declining To Be His Girlfriend
“I can’t, Nicholas. Why do you want me to be your girlfriend? If it is just for physical intimacy, then I’m not interested.” Shocked and offended, Nicholas got up and stood quietly staring at her. He hadn’t expected her to decline after the most passionate lovemaking they shared the night before. “Yes, I desire you and so do you. It is a good enough reason to date,” said Nicholas, at his wit’s end. He just couldn’t understand why she was being stubborn about it. Couldn’t she feel the magnetic pull between them? “No, not for me.” “Then what did you expect of me? Did you expect me to confess my undying love for you after a night of fun?” he demanded angrily, his frustration getting to his nerves. Alyssa’s jaws dropped and she gaped at him with disbelief. So was that what it was for him? Was it just a night of fun?“I see. So now that you’ve had your fun, I don’t think you would need my services any longer,” she stated, barely able to suppress the mad fury rising inside her. How could
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Four - Alyssa Faces Her Family
As they drove towards the familiar house where she grew up, memories of her troubled childhood haunted her. She always avoided her mom, Jodie Van Every, ever since her father, Dave Van Every's death, considering her as the sole cause of his death. Her mom never showed her any love, and the hatred between them had always been mutual. Alyssa was a child born out of a loveless marriage, and her mom hated her because she looked like her actual dad. Every time she looked at Alyssa, she reminded her of her first marriage, since her beautiful clear blue eyes and hair resembled his. Alyssa blinked the negative thoughts away. She would just lock herself in her room until she could get a grip on herself and figure out what she wanted to do with her life. Her old club-trotting friends called her often, but she stopped clubbing ever since her return from Preston Island after Sienna’s wedding. “Tired?” asked her stepdad, surprising her. She wondered why he was being nice to her suddenly. Did he
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Five - Shocking News!
Alyssa went to her room the moment she cleaned up the table and switched on the dishwasher. Thankfully Alexander had to leave after an emergency phone call and didn’t find the opportunity to grill her. Her thoughts went to Nicholas, and she felt tears prick in her eyes. Switching on her phone she waited for him to call her again, hoping that maybe he felt something for her despite his claims. Maybe it wasn’t just a physical need he felt for her! However, a week passed by and neither did Nicholas contact her nor did she get any job anywhere. Alyssa was heartbroken and hardly left the house apart from attending the job interviews. She avoided Eva’s call knowing she was with Alexander. With Hayley gone to Florida and Sienna and Skylar busy with their lives, she could mend her broken heart without being disturbed. Nicholas’s HR team had immediately released her despite her having signed a contract, and Alyssa knew that Nicholas might have instructed them to do so. Maybe he too didn’t wa
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Six - An Injured Nicholas
Alyssa’s heart started racing at the mention of Nicholas. Even after everything that happened between them, she realized that she still loved him. Her body still reacted at the mention of his name. “Oh, is he serious?” she asked as they rushed towards the orthopedic department. “He's better now. They will release him today,” informed Eva, while Alyssa’s heart filled with worry. Would she be able to see him? It had been so many days since she saw him. She felt a little guilty for his condition. After all, it was because of her he landed here at the hospital. All because he wanted her! No one has ever wanted her the way he did! Was it such a crime that he had to be hospitalized because of desiring her? Eva pushed the glass doors open, and they went inside. She led them to a room and opened the door to let her in. Alyssa peered inside first and her eyes widened seeing Nicholas sitting on the bed, ready to be discharged. The telltale signs of the fight were clearly visible on his body
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Seven - Moving In With Nicholas
“Yes, you said you wanted me to give us a chance for a month,” Alyssa pointed out while Nicholas groaned.“I didn’t mean it that way. I just said you can decide to opt out in a month if you aren't happy with me.” “Oh!” “So? What have you decided?” he asked impatiently, not satisfied with her reply. “I haven’t decided yet.” Nicholas sighed and stared out of the window, without prodding her further. He was tired of trying to convince her. Now there was only one option left for him. He had to heal fast and then take matters into his hands. What would he do? He hadn’t decided yet, but this time he wouldn’t wait for her reply. “We’ve reached.” Nicholas looked around to see that she had stopped the car outside his building gates. “You expect me to get down here? C’mon, I’m injured,” he protested. Alyssa started the car and drove in through the gates into the guest parking area, while Nicholas’s heart danced with delight. Could he convince her to move in with him? Alyssa got down and op
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Eight - Alexander's Interference
“Why?” Alyssa asked, but Alexander looked ahead blankly, shaking his head absent-mindedly. “I don’t care who she’s with.”“Then why are you mourning here? Shouldn’t you be happy that Eva is off your head?” said Alyssa bitterly. She was clueless why her brother wasn’t pursuing Eva when he really cared about her. “I’m not mourning. Anyway, you tell me, what brought you here? Weren’t you living with mom and dad?” asked Alexander to divert the topic. “Mom insulted me badly, and I left home.” Alexander shook his head with disappointment and focused his eyes upon her. “She’s upset that you aren’t helping dad. Just listen to them and everything will be fine, Lisa.” “I can’t run such a vast company, Alex. I’m scared. If I fail and the business suffers, I wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt. Please appoint a capable CEO, if dad can’t handle it any longer and spare me the ordeal,” she begged, almost in tears while Alexander gaped at her. “Are you giving up without even trying?” he ask
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Fifty-Nine - Was He Abducting Her?
The entire night Nicholas contemplated doing what Maxwell suggested. Would it work? Would she finally fall for him? No, he couldn’t stoop so low. He would give her some space and meet her after a few days when he was well enough to move about freely. Although his heart wanted to meet Alyssa and demand an explanation for breaking her promise to him, he tried hard to restrain himself.For the next two weeks Nicholas concentrated on his health but not once did he stop thinking of Alyssa. It surprised him that she didn’t call him even once. Although he had resumed work the day after his release from the hospital, he refrained from visiting Alyssa or calling her. It wasn’t because she was staying at her brother’s place but because he needed to rethink his strategies with her. With his need to have her again in his arms, driving him crazy, he knew he had to try another way to approach her. He cared little about Alexander’s wrath, but he cared about Alyssa’s opinion of him. He had engaged J

The rest of the group went towards the aisle to give them some privacy and sort matters out, while Alyssa’s mom and Sienna stayed back. “Bring her inside. She has a right to be here with me on my special day,” said Alyssa, surprised to find her best friend waiting outside. “I think it’s better you meet her once, Lisa,” insisted Alexander, hesitating a little, his eyes darting towards the main gates. Her dad scowled and fisted his hands with anger, glaring at the two of them. “Tell her to come inside the house and not create an unnecessary scene here today,” he said, his face flushed with hatred. This was always the scene at the mention of Eva’s name.“Please calm down, Daniel. I’m sure she’ll go away.” Alexander paled and turned to go away as well. If there was no place here for his wife, then he had no business staying at such a place. “I can see that my wife and I aren’t wanted here. Have a happy life, Lisa,” he said over his shoulders. “Wait, Alex. I want you to walk me down t
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy-Four - On The Wedding Day
Alyssa swirled in front of the mirror, the sequins on her beautiful, sky blue, sleeveless dress catching the lights around the room. Nicholas bought it for her to wear to dinner at his granny’s house. “Beautiful! It looks as if it’s made for you,” said Nicholas, standing behind her and appreciating her through the glass. “Who else will be there tonight?” “No one. Only you and I with mom and granny. I specifically asked them not to go overboard.” “Yes, I need a quiet moment with them.” After a few minutes, they drove over to his house and, as always, aunt Claudia welcomed her in with open arms. “It’s been so long since you’ve been here, my dear,” she said, hugging her close. Alyssa too hugged her back, feeling guilty for not visiting them often as she had promised. Granny too came forward to give her a hug. “Sorry, aunt Claudia. I was so busy job hunting that it escaped my mind,” said Alyssa apologetically. “So, have you found your dream job yet?” asked his granny. “No, she’s t

“Tomorrow is the last day you'll be single. After that we’ll be bound to one another forever,” said Nicholas as he drove them home. “Who wants to be single?” she winked at him, making his heart skip a beat. “Is that so?” “Yes. As if you didn’t know.” “I do but do you know we have only a day to pack up for our honeymoon?” said Nicholas and Alyssa turned to him with surprise. “Are we going on a honeymoon?” she asked with disbelief, and he nodded with a silly grin on his face. “And you’re telling me now? So where are we going?”“The Bahamas for four days.”“Oh, my gosh! There’s so much to pack,” she gushed excitedly. The whole evening, they spent packing up for their upcoming trip. It was exciting, and Nicholas showed her where they were staying and planned a four-day itinerary together. There had been no contact with Alexander after that phone call, and they didn’t mention him either. They made dinner together and afterward sat on the enormous deck to sip wine and gaze at the sta

The next day was extremely hectic. They took her dad to the doctor for a second opinion and found out that the treatment going on was indeed the very best available so far. They returned home quite satisfied that he would get better after completing the treatment. After the visit, her dad gained more confidence and also actively took part in her wedding preparations. “I can also train you, Lisa, after Nicholas does." Alyssa hugged him at seeing his enthusiasm. “Yes, dad. I would love that,” she said eagerly. They were about to leave when her dad’s phone buzzed with an incoming call from Alexander. He looked alarmed and glanced at Alyssa. “Alex is calling me.” Alyssa and Nicholas stopped in their tracks and stood, waiting to hear what Alexander had to say. Her dad glanced at his wife and accepted the call with a sigh, putting it on speaker mode. “Yes, son. Have you returned?” asked her dad warily into the phone. “No, but how could you accept Nicholas into our family, dad?” demand
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Seventy-One - Reconciling With Alexander
“I’ll pick you up at 4 o’clock,” said Nicholas, driving away after dropping her off at the hospital. They would first go to her parent's house and then off on a date. Alyssa was excited, as Nicholas still hadn’t told her what he had planned for them. Nicholas reached his office and wrapped up his work as fast as he could, looking forward to spending the evening with her. He tried calling Alexander to talk to him, but he still wasn’t available. Reluctantly, he left a message for him. He knew how upset Alexander would be if they married without informing him. Alexander,I tried to reach out to you many times, but I guess you are busy. I have an important announcement to make. Alyssa and I are getting married this Saturday at your parents' house. They have happily given their permission and I would be at peace if you too accepted our relationship. Your acceptance means the world to Alyssa, and she means the world to me. That’s the reason I’m trying to reach out to you.I have always l

Alyssa and Nicholas exchanged rings amidst cheers and congratulatory wishes. Aunt Claudia and granny blessed them abundantly as it was their dream to welcome her into the family. “Why are you rushing the wedding? I have a PTM at Alex's school tomorrow and a conference coming up on Friday,” protested Sienna. “Come over in your work clothes but I can’t postpone, Sien,” said Nicholas, making her roll her eyes at him. “No, it’s better we attend it at one go and then return home,” said Skylar, and even Hayley agreed. “Will Eva be able to attend my wedding?” asked Alyssa hopefully, but they were skeptical and couldn’t give any proper reply to that question.“No one knows where she is. I haven’t been able to contact them since yesterday,” said her mom while the others giggled, imagining what they would be up to. “I’m dying of curiosity. Where could Alexander have taken her?” asked Hayley, and they all discussed all possibilities, but Alyssa knew that none of those probabilities were tru
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Nine - Engaged To Him
Within minutes, they stripped off their clothes, the urgency to continue where they left off driving them insane. Ever since they reconnected on the island and separated for a day, they had missed one another immensely. While Nicholas’s mouth drove her wild with pleasure, Alyssa stroked his powerfully ripped body, her touch so sensual that he groaned with a burning need. “Alyssa, stop. You’re driving me wild,” said Nicholas, his voice hoarse with desire. “I want you to make wild love to me, Nicholas,” she whispered, her voice hoarse with desire. After their confession, their need for one another had multiplied to a new level altogether. Alyssa’s entire body flashed hot, needing the release only he could give her. “You do? I can’t wait to embed my co*k deep inside you,” he whispered, grazing his teeth against her earlobe. His dirty words made her exhale a sensual groan as she parted her legs to welcome him. The love-making was out of the world this time, almost as if they surrendere
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Sixty-Eight - Nicholas's Love
Nicholas drove towards his apartment, his heart thumping with excitement. At last, he was happy to have Alyssa all to himself. She was now his for life! Her confession stirred him deeply, and he wanted to confess his own feelings for her. With the engagement and wedding all planned out, he couldn’t ask for more. “Are you excited to get engaged to me?” asked Nicholas hopefully, but Alyssa shook her head. “No, I would have loved it if you had proposed on one knee. This looks a little forced and artificial. It feels as if you're marrying me because my parents want you to.” Nicholas sighed, knowing that he had messed up. He had planned to propose the way she wanted him to, but she escaped Oyster Island before that. He had to clear this misunderstanding before it worsened. He steered the car off the road and parked at the side. Alyssa looked at him curiously, not knowing what was happening. Nicholas turned to her, gazing deeply into her eyes. “That’s not true, Alyssa. I’m marrying you b

“Nicholas will train you at his office after marriage and then you will take over from me. I can’t pull any longer,” said her dad sternly. Alyssa gaped at all three of them. So they had planned and plotted against her back and decided her life for her without even consulting her. Blood boiled in her veins and she took a step backward, feeling like a piece of trash that could be easily trampled upon by all. “How is it I do not know about this? All three of you have already decided my life while I’m left in the dark. I really can’t believe this.” She whirled around and ran up to her bedroom, upset with all of them. Her parents had always been this way, but Nicholas could have told her about his plans before talking to her parents. She felt betrayed and dashed into her room, upset and close to tears. “You’re overreacting, Alyssa. I didn’t have a choice,” said Nicholas as he followed her inside. “Yeah, I understand, Nicholas. Go away and plot with my parents behind my back. What are yo
