"You're such a tease!" Alexander scoffed upon her last statement.
Arianna placed her now empty glass cup and plate on a small table situated by the couch they were both seated on. She closed the gap between herself and Alex, then seductively teased the ends of his hair with h

"I warned you, Babe. I told you to be careful of him but you assured me that you weren't going to find a murderer attractive." Ellie said from the other side.Arianna heaved a long sigh. "I swear I don't find him attractive. I just don't understand myself whenever I'm around him. It's like my body doesn't listen to me anymore.""If there's anything that douchebag is good in, it's tempting women so he would have their way with them." Ellie sighed. "I can't wait for this revenge to be over. Not only are you getting attached to his kids, but you are also falling for his charms. I don't want you to get hurt babe.""I'm trying my best not to get hurt eit

Pulling up at her destination, Arianna turned off the engine, She unbuckled her seatbelt, reached for her handbag in the front passenger seat, and then helped herself out of the car. After making sure her car was properly secured, She made her way towards the salon. A heartwarming smile crept to her lips when she sighted Beatrice and Emily. Bea was standing at the entrance of the salon with Emily in her arms."Hiiii" Ari smiled the moment she approached the duo."Good afternoon. You look great." Beatrice smiled."Stop flattering me, Bea""I'm not ma'am. No won

Beatrice's worried expression was replaced with that of relief the moment she set her eyes on Arianna. Unconsciously, her lips slowly curved into a smile when she saw Kaylee's hands intertwined in Ari's own."Sorry we took so long," Arianna said, the moment they got to the table. Emily was already sitting beside Beatrice which was where Kaylee was previously seated. So Kaylee had to sit beside Arianna. Ari helped her get on the chair and then took her seat."It's fine. I was beginning to get worried. I feared that Kaylee was giving you a hard time. Milly and I were about to come to look for you guys."Oh!" Ari blushed. "Sorry we made you guys worrie

"Who let you into my building?" He asked, giving her a nasty glare.She scoffed. "Have you forgotten my father's company was merged with this company by the virtue of our marriage?""And so?" He glared at her."It means this is my building too." She said proudly.Alexander chuckled in disbelief. "You know nothing woman. You're just as dumb as fuck. Is your family's low-budget company the first company Clay International would partner with? How many shares have you even got that give you the right to claim some sort of ownership? You think Anderson Clay doesn't

Arianna stood still with confusion on her face, trying to make sense out of the nonsense that came out of Natalie's mouth.Before she could get herself together, the door of the elevator had come to a close."What the hell?" She mumbled to herself, then proceeded to her desk area. She placed her bag on the table, then turned around to take a glance at Alexander's office. Through the glass-walled door, She saw Alex standing by the window, looking outside. He seemed deep in thoughts and he had both of his hands in his pocket.Ari couldn't care less about what was bothering him, she was more concerned about getting clarifications. She wanted to know wh

Arianna was beyond shocked as she stood still and processed all that Alexander said. To be honest, she had expected him to give lame reasons. Never in her wildest dreams will she have guessed that he went through something so psychologically traumatizing.She did nothing but stared at him, Speechless. The moment Alex completed his statement, he left Arianna's sight, went to the far end corner of his office, and poured himself a glass of white wine. He took a few sips, refilled it and then made his way back to his desk. He sat on his chair, took more sips of his wine, before finally placing the glass cup on the table, disregarding Arianna's presence. Not because he wishes to ignore her, but because he was ashamed after revealing the truth. Even his best friends; Charles, Nicholas and Leo, have no idea about what he just told Ari

Arianna swallowed painfully, hoping to ease some tension in her. As every second passed by, it became harder not to react to Alexander's presence. Him being close to her was enough to make her heart rate quicken. And the feel of his skin against hers wasn't making matters easier. She tried to stop Alex by removing his fingers away from her left cheek but he refused to let go."You have no right to be uncomfortable before me. We are dating now, remember?" He said, looking into her eyes. He could tell she was on her shy behavior. Even her cheek had started to turn crimson red."A....alex" She started to say but he placed a finger on her plum lips."I

Alexander had no idea why he was quite nervous as he drove in the direction of Arianna's apartment. He had dated dozens of women in his lifetime but this was the first time he was actually picking up a woman to go on a date. Then, he didn't have the time to pamper anyone so his ex-lovers usually found their way to the venue. The most generous Alex had done was to get someone to pick them up and bring them to the venue.But with Arianna, everything was different. He had no idea why but he wanted to impress her and that was why he was trying to make tonight perfect by all means.Alex chuckled, wondering what the hell was going on with him. He had never had the need to please a woman. But for Arianna's sake, he knew he would do anything just

"Ari!!!!!!!" The call of her name was followed by tight hugs on her legs. She chuckled, then crouched down to greet the two most adorable little girls in the world."Hello, sweethearts!" She pulled Emily and Kaylee into a joint hug. Pulling away from the hug, She kissed their cheeks. "I missed you both. You girls are looking very pretty.""Thanks. We missed you too. Daddy picked out our outfits and Beatrice braided our hair." Kaylee grinned."Oh really?" She asked the little duo, taking a glance at Alexander who was watching them with nothing but a proud smile on his face.

Arianna left work at exactly 5:30 pm, She stopped by the supermarket for some shopping and the restaurant to pick up the food she ordered earlier.Getting home, Ari changed into something comfy, then went back to the kitchen. She started by putting away all the stuff she bought, then she went ahead to make appetizers and desserts. The whole thing took about forty minutes after which She did the dishes and set up the table. Ari didn't have a high chair in her home. She had no idea if Emily was going to be comfortable sitting alone on an adult's chair so she decided she was going to place little Emily on her lap and feed her.After ensuring everything was in place, Arianna went for a long shower. She dried her body when she was done a

"It's a miracle that your cheeks aren't aching," Ellie said."What do you mean?" Ari asked, taking a seat opposite Ellie. The duo were the only ones in the break room. They were having a late lunch."You literally haven't stopped smiling since you arrived at the office."Arianna blushed. "That's not true""Oh really?" Ellie smirked.Ari shrugged, reaching for the bottle of coke on the table. She put the straw in her mouth and took some sip. She and Ellie decided to have

"What the hell is fucking wrong with you, Alexander? Let go of him!" Ari said at the top of her voice as she tried to separate the duo."Don't you ever come close to my girlfriend you fucker!" Alex said with gritted teeth before finally freeing Ken.Arianna had no idea what came over her. She had tears in her eyes and when Alex left Ken alone, she approached him and started hitting him against the chest."Who gave you the right to call me your girlfriend after abandoning me for two weeks? Why do you care so much that another guy was kissing me? Who the hell gave you the right to be jealous? I hate you.... I hate you..." Tears rolled down her c

Usually, Arianna would stay back at the office and do some work till midnight but since she was feeling a bit under the weather today, She decided to leave early for her house.Gathering her stuff, her phone rang beside her. She reached for it on the table and took a glimpse of the caller ID. She sighed upon seeing that it was Ken. After allowing the phone to ring for a few seconds, she answered the call."Hi!" She said to the other side with a very tired voice. She has done nothing but bury herself with work in the past two weeks and it was already affecting her. She hardly had up to 5 hours of sleep in a day."Heyy, I'm glad you answer
Temptress Chapter Forty Two
Alex heaved a long sigh and buried his face in his hands the moment Ellie exited his car. Bringing back his head up, he ran his left fingers through his hair. He reached for his phone right beside him, went to his contact list and stared at Arianna's contact. He had saved her name as "wifey". Even Natalie didn't earn that title in his life, heart or contact list.He had saved her name as "mystery girl" at first but he changed it to 'wifey' after a few days he discovered he was starting to like her. He had no idea why he chose wifey among all pet names but he had never felt the need to change it.Staring at her number for a while, Alex couldn't bring himself to dial it. Thinking about leaving her a text message, he went to the message board but everything he typed didn't seem to make sense. He typed and deleted for about f

Two weeks later!"Sir, are you sure you can handle them on your own?" Beatrice said out of concern as Alexander buckled Emily up in her car seat."Of course, Beatrice. I have to start doing this on my own and you should be glad for me that I'm taking a bold step." Alex caressed Milly's cheek, then placed a kiss on her forehead before gently shutting the door of the back passenger's seat."I'm glad for you Sir, I just want to make sure you're okay handling both of them on your own." She said, referring to his girls who were all dressed for school in the car.Alexander smiled. "You have no idea how much I look forward to spending time with them and most importantly, taking them to school. You've always tag
