When the day Beatrice and Jasper were to be arraigned in court came, Reese was strong enough to go and testify against her sister.

Reese was standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself after getting dressed for the court hearing. She was dressed in a black suit set.

Sighing, she turned to look at Axel, who had been supportive after the incident happened.

"How are you feeling?" Axel asked.

"I don't know," Reese replied, and Axel held her hand as they walked out of the house together, entered the car, and went to court.

She entered the court and caught sight of her sister. Her heart ached as she looked at her, wondering how someone she had known all her life could now seem like a complete stranger. She thought she knew everything about her sister, but now she realizes there are depths to her personality that she had never even suspected.

As soon as Reese's eyes locked onto her sister's, her sister's gaze quickly averted, prompting Reese to ponder the possibility of whether her

  • The Sweetest Temptation    146| Always and forever.

    The scent of tropical flowers hung heavy in the air, carried on the gentle breeze that drifted through the lush foliage of the Kula botanical garden in Maui, Hawaii. The sun was shining high overhead, casting a warm, golden light on the vibrant greenery. The sound of chirping birds and the rustling leaves of the lush green trees surrounded the beautiful garden, creating an idyllic atmosphere for a wedding ceremony. And the setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. The guests sat on chairs adorned with flowers. The only guests in attendance were Reese’s parents, Axel’s parents, Lucy, Harry, Zayn, Luke, and Ethan. When Reese told her parents that she was going to have her wedding in Hawaii, she had expected them to say they wouldn’t be able to attend or even ask her to postpone the wedding due to the unfortunate incident that happened with Beatrice. But the reverse was the case. They agreed to the wedding without hesitation.Lucy invited her boyfriend—Harry—for the wedding because she

  • The Sweetest Temptation    1| A broken heart.

    "Get out!" Jasper roared. Reese stood there, transfixed, as a flash of wild grief ripped inside her. The sight before her was traumatizing, as she had just caught her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend. And the first thing he said to her was, "Get out?" She had always feared that a day like this would come. But never in a million years did she ever imagine that it would be this way—with her best friend, Rebecca. And neither of them felt any remorse. Not even a hint of guilt skated across their faces. "What are you still doing there?" He questioned, cutting through the torrent of emotions coursing through her. "Why?" She managed to say, tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh look, she’s crying." Rebecca sneered. Jasper glanced at Rebecca, then darted his gaze back to Reese with an amused smile on his face. "Poor Reese. Did you think I was going to be with you forever?" "You don’t have what it takes to keep a man, Reese. No man would ever want to be with a woman who is sex

    She swung her head to the side to see who her savior was. One flick of her gaze on him, and she could see how tall he was. 6 feet tall, if she should guess. Even under his white shirt, she could see his solid muscle build. He looked like someone who had picked up heavy objects, put them down, and then done that again a billion times. He was so fucking hot! Slowly, her gaze traveled up to his face, and her breath literally seized the moment her eyes met his brown eyes. He exuded so much grace and power. The complete picture of him looked like he came straight out of a fashion magazine. His cheekbones and jaw were so razor sharp that she wanted to rub her fingers on their perfect edge. Everything about him was sculpted to perfection. "Are you okay?" He asked, with a voice that she could lick, as he raked his fingers through his thick brown hair. She opened her mouth to speak, but her head took a quick spin, and she felt her body falling to the floor. But before she could reach the

    It’s been twelve hours. Twelve hours have passed since the mysterious woman made Axel’s dick hard in a way that it had never been. And the worst thing was that she ran out of the booth the moment that waitress came in with the champagne he had ordered. That fucking waitress! He grunted. He needed the mysterious woman. He needed her to come and finish what she started because no other woman could make him feel that way, no woman! He has been gazing at his computer’s screen for hours now, trying to search for the mysterious woman on the internet. He knew it was almost impossible to find her with the little clues he had. He only knew her hair color and eye color, which were both brown like his. Hers, however, are lighter. Fuck! He didn’t even know her name. The only thing he had was the black lace panties she left behind. Frustration clawed at his chest as he regretted all the things he didn’t do. He should’ve insisted on knowing her name first before they got intimate. He shouldn

    The stranger Reese met at the bar said he was going to rid her of the pain she was feeling from getting dumped, and he sure did! Magically, she had totally gotten over Jasper, and all she could think about was the mysterious stranger who made her body come alive with want. Her other best friend, Lucy, was sitting beside her in her bedroom, gawking and looking at her in disbelief, as she explained in detail everything that happened to her yesterday, without leaving out anything. "Are you dense?" Lucy exclaimed and smacked her hard on the shoulder. Reese held her shoulder and groaned in pain. "Why’d you do that?" "You need some ass whooping, Reese!" Lucy yelled. "Why’d you run? No man has ever made your pussy drench, and when you found that man, you ran away? Because some fucking waitress interrupted?" Reese groaned into her hands. "I regret it. Believe me. I do." "Jasper fucking dumped you because your pussy couldn’t get drenched for him." Lucy pinched the bridge of her nose. "An

    Axel stayed in the bar in search of the mysterious girl, desperately hoping she would appear in front of him. But it’s been hours, and every single person in the bar has left. She was not there. With the disappointment coupled with frustration clawing at his chest, he left the bar. For four weeks, he continued going to the bar in search of her. It became a daily routine. And he doesn’t leave until every single person in the bar has left. He doesn’t leave until he was sure that the mysterious girl who was threatening to drive him crazy was not there. And each time, every night, he leaves the bar disappointed. Today was no different. He went in search of her and left disappointed, with frustration clawing at his chest. He hated her! He hated her for making him feel the way he did and for making him react to her in an alarming way. He hated her for leaving him with a hard on. He even hated her more for making him go to the bar to search for her. And who the fuck does she think sh

    "Wake up," Reese heard a distant voice say in her dream. She thought the voice was from her dream, until she felt a hand tap her lightly on her shoulder, which startled her awake. As she rubbed the back of her hand against her eyes, she sat up to see who dared to wake her up from her beauty sleep. "What is—" She paused, her words dying on her lips, when she saw the person standing before her. The sleep in her eyes magically wore off completely. It was the strange guy from the bar! The only person that could arouse her. "Wha— what— what are you doing here?" She stuttered, the perturbance in her voice palpable. "How did you get in?" "I am not going to hurt you." He assured. "So, relax, Reese." It was as if he had compelled her to relax, because she instantly relaxed after he told her to. She was no more concerned about seeing a stranger in her room. "Finally. I found you." He muttered, a smirk touching his lips. "I have been desperately looking for you. Why did you run away from

    Reese spent several minutes under the shower, recalling her experience with the strange guy in the dream. And she caught herself letting out a soft moan as the cold water poured over her body.Although it was only a dream, but she could still remember how she felt and how much she enjoyed every bit of the pleasure.After she finished showering, she reached for the white towel that was hanging in one corner of the bathroom and wrapped it around her body.She went out of the bathroom to see her parents sitting on the couch in her bedroom.Her eyes narrowed as she gazed at them. "What are you doing here?" She asked."We want to talk to you." Her mom said.They didn’t need to tell her what they wanted to talk to her about. They’ve been disturbing her about it for months now, and it’s getting tiring."If you are here to talk to me about marriage, then I don’t want to listen." She stated, as she trudged to the dresser to moisturize her body after the long shower."Yes. We are here to talk ab

  • The Sweetest Temptation    144| Vital signs.

    Luckily, no vital organ was hit when Reese and Axel was shot, so they survived without complications. Axel woke up after getting to the hospital, but Reese was in a coma. Although, they were assured that her vital signs were okay and she would wake up soon. The news of Reese and Axel was carried by the reporters, and different channels were trying to cover the story. The following day, Axel sat down in his bed in his ward and watched the news, hearing how they wanted an interview. Axel sighed and changed the channel. It was another reporter reporting the news of the predicament that happened. He wonders why everything about him has to be in the public eye and sighs."It was shocking that one of the most anticipated weddings of the year got canceled, Mr. Axel and Miss Reese's wedding got canceled with not much information on the reason it got canceled and the..." Axel got tired and turned the television off. He knew watching the news right now would do nothing but worsen the state he w

    Jasper just stood there as he watched them exchange words. The only thing he was interested in was the money Axel was willing to give him. He helped Beatrice kidnap Lucy and Reese just because of the money she promised to give him. Now, he’s getting a better offer, and he suddenly doesn’t care about the money Beatrice promised to give him anymore. He needed to act fast before Axel withdraws his offer. "How did you even say you were willing to give me?" Jasper asked. "You requested five million dollars. I would give you that. Axel said. A smirk touched his lips as he turned to look at Beatrice. "Let them go."Beatrice drew her brows together. "Are you crazy? I didn’t go through all this just to let them go.""But I am going to let them go." He told her. "There’s money involved. And I started all this because of the money. you promised to give me in the first place. Now, I am getting a better offer. I am a businessman, so I would go with what pays me more.""So you joined her in doin

    Jasper, who was determined to convince her by all means. The moment she answered positively, he would take the bag, hold her hand, and walk away with her as fast as possible before she changed her mind. Beatrice seemed like a determined type of girl, and she could go to any extent to get what she wanted.He didn't know how he came across such a woman and just wished it was someone with a simple mind, not a complicated mind. Reese was making him tired and losing hope that he would win this game. He wasn't ready to lose that shot; he had already started to imagine what it would be like to have such money and be able to do or get whatever you wanted."We could just take this money and leave. This shouldn't be a hard task.” Jasper said, looking at her with a calm and hopeful face."Yeah. We can all settle this amicably without hurting anyone, and we'll go back to our daily lives like nothing happened." Axel said, gesturing with his hands for her to calm down.Beatrice scoffed. "You both a

    "Mr. Axel, you'll need to calm down. We are going to try our best to save your fiancee and her best friend. All we need from you is your cooperation by staying put. If you do not stop, it's very possible that you could affect our strategy." The cop said this over the phone, assuring their safety.Axel was restless and decided to rush down to the location that Reese had dropped. He couldn't just sit down and wait for the police to do the job; he wanted to see Reese himself to see how she was doing. Then he went out and started driving towards the place, and he thought of what he could actually do, the strategy he could use that would leave him with regret.Then a thought sprang up in his head. He was going to search for the numbers Jasper had used in blackmailing him. He searched and almost thought he had lost it until he saw the number and then dialed it immediately."Hello." He answered the call."Let them go now." Axel said with a confident tone."Why should I let them go?" He asked

    Reese confirmed it was Lucy's number, but didn't understand what was going on. Why was a man talking on the phone?"Hello, who are you? I would like to speak with Lucy." She said, trying to ignore every negative thought that ran through her mind."You really are clueless, aren't you?" He chuckled and sniffed."What do you mean by that? Who are you? What did you do to my friend?" Reese asked, feeling frightened. She had been avoiding all these negative occurrences, and that was why she didn't want to get married yet in the first place. Axel had encouraged her to allow them to go on with the wedding, but things got worse. She had thought that the man had decided to leave them alone or that he couldn't get anything on them since they were laying low. But hearing the man's voice sent shivers down her spine, and she felt cold suddenly."If you want your friend alive, you have to get her in a few minutes. I do not care if you are about to start your wedding or not. All I know is that if you

    Reese was really scared and didn't know what to do while she was waiting for Axel. She could see the man approaching them, and Reese became more frightened as she didn't know if that was going to be her last day on earth. She tried calling Axel again, but his phone wasn't reachable. She had given him the address of the inn and decided to take Lucy with her to the inn to feel protected until Axel came to save them. Reese was inside the inn, her hands kept on shaking, and slowly Lucy started getting sober; she raised her head to see how worried Reese was."What’s going on?" she asked, sitting up sluggishly. Reese's phone started ringing, and she couldn’t answer Lucy. She picked up her phone immediately, and it was Axel calling her.She picks up the call immediately, feeling anxious and happy at the same time. Babe," she said immediately after picking up the call."I’m outside the inn," Axel said."Okay, I’m here with Lucy, and she doesn’t look sober enough." Reese replied"I will come i

    Three weeks later, Reese's best friend Lucy flew to New York for Reese’s wedding. She had called her earlier to inform her of her arrival. Reese went to the airport to pick her up, and her face broke into a smile when her eyes landed on Lucy, who was walking out of the airport. Lucy took her glass off when she saw her best friend and smiled. They hugged instantly."Wow! It’s so nice seeing you again, and babe, you look wonderful," Lucy said when they broke the hug. Reese chuckled at her kind words."I’m thrilled to see you too, and thank you." Reese said, and they went over to enter the car that was waiting for them. As soon as they entered the car, the chauffeur ignited the engines, driving them to the hotel premises."How is the preparation going? I know you must be feeling super nervous right now," Lucy asked excitedly, and Reese chuckled slightly, moving the string of hair blocking her sight."Nothing much is planned; I just want to have this done and dusted," Reese said, and her h
