The Sweetest Temptation 77| Unholy things.
Axel hoisted his head up to see Reese approaching his office with a file in her hands. "Hello, Mr. Griffin." She said, a smile tugging her lips apart. "Going somewhere?""No." He took his hand to his head and rubbed his temple. He was so angry, but for some weird reason, seeing her and hearing her voice soothed his heart, and the rage boiling within him cooled down. "So, why are you outside?" She chuckled. "You look confused, Axel.""I was going to your office." He lied as he wrapped his arms around her waist, then leaned in and kissed her on her neck. "I missed you.""Axel…" She called as she quickly pulled away from him. "People might see us."Right. His mother is inside his office, and she might come out at any moment. Her seeing him with Reese in this position is something he doesn’t want. How would he even explain to her that he and Reese are nothing more than just sex partners? "Should we go inside your office?" She said, cutting through his thoughts as she moved closer to th
The Sweetest Temptation 78| Luke’s request.
Everything else was a total blur. From how they got to his house to how they entered the room and got themselves naked. Axel was on Reese, pumping his manhood inside her back and forth, as the sound of their labored breathing filled the whole room. "Cum for me, baby." Axel rasped. "I want you to cum."And after he said that, her body obeyed as she vibrated and a milky juice whipped out of her core. After a few more thrusts, he ejaculated and fell back on the bed, panting heavily. "Reese." He called when he finally caught his breath. "Yes?" She asked breathlessly. He turned on his side to get a better look at her. "Don’t ever leave me, please."A small smile curled on her lips. "Why?""Do I have to spell it out?" He took his hand to her face and caressed her cheeks. "Because I want you by my side at all times, Reese."Her pulse pattered to an uneven beat at his words, and heat rushed to her core, arousing her all over again. "Why do you want me by your side at all times?" She as
The Sweetest Temptation 79| Eleven calls.
"Why don’t you want her to do it?" Luke asked, confused."I just don’t want her to." Axel groaned. Luke pressed his lips together as he sighed. "Come on, man, it’s just a little favor.""It’s a no!" Axel exclaimed as he turned on his heels and started walking away. "And that’s final." He said over his shoulders.Luke and Reese trailed him with their eyes as he walked out of the living room, mouth agape."What’s wrong with him?" Reese asked when he was finally out of sight. "Do you guys have a misunderstanding?"Luke gave his head a slight shake. "No, I’m just as lost as you are. I wonder why he’s like that.""I wonder why too." She sighed. "Anyway, I would help you with it.""Why?" He raised a brow. "But Axel said—"She cut him off. "Axel is not the one to dictate what I do and what I don't. I make decisions for myself.""Are you sure?" Luke asked, raising a brow."Damn sure." A smile touched her lips. "Just give me a date and time.""Tomorrow," Luke said. "I’ll pick you up after wor
The Sweetest Temptation 80| Meet Zayn, my boyfriend.
"Lucy." Reese called as she knocked on the door. "Please just open the door and let's talk."Reese has been knocking on the door for almost ten minutes now, and Lucy has been refusing to open the door."Lucy." Reese called again. "You are hurting me.""Reese, just go." Lucy yelled. "You can come back when you resolve the issues you have with your parents. I don't want my life to be ruined.""I understand how you feel right now, and I am sorry, Lucy. I am sorry." She sighed. "Just open the door and let's talk, please. I would leave afterwards."The door was suddenly yanked open, and Lucy appeared in front of her."Lucy, this is as hard for me as it is for you. But—" Reese sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. "You are my best friend, Lucy. I didn't expect you to throw me away like some bad habit just because my mom threatened you."Lucy felt really bad for treating Reese that way, but she needed to protect herself, and in order to do that, she had to stay away from Reese."You
The Sweetest Temptation 81| Absolute lie!
Confusion saturated Zayn’s face, leaving him completely perplexed as to why Reese was introducing him as her boyfriend. "Zayn, meet my mom." Reese continued, gesturing at her mom. "Oh well." A bright smile flashed across her mom’s face. "I am not disappointed at all. He is a handsome young man." She flicked her gaze to the expensive car he drove there and nodded her head approvingly. Her daughter was not seeing someone poor, so there wouldn’t be any problem with the marriage, she thought. "Hi." Zayn said awkwardly as he stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "Come on." She quickly wrapped her arms around him, embracing him. "This is how to greet your mother-in-law, not just by exchanging handshakes."Mother in-law? Reese thought and coughed. No way!"Are you okay?" Zayn asked Reese as he quickly pulled away from the hug. A smile curled on her lips. "I am okay, Zayn.""So, when should we start planning the marriage?" Mrs. McBride—Reese’s mom—asked. "Your dad would be so happ
The Sweetest Temptation 82| Wedding dress.
As planned, Luke picked Reese up after work and drove her to the boutique scheduled for the wedding dress fittings. At first, she had expected Axel to rebel and stop her from going with Luke, but he didn’t. He ignored her all through work hours and it hurt her so much that she regretted the fact that she accepted to do the fitting when Axel was against it. She missed him so much that the only thing she could think about as she admired herself in the mirror wearing a beautiful off-white mermaid wedding dress with a detachable skirt that fitted her body perfectly was Axel. And she hated that thoughts of him have been lingering in her head since she left his place yesterday; she hated that an arrogant ass like him was the only one who could please her; she hated that each time he was with her, each time she thought of him, butterflies flutter in her stomach; and what she definitely hated the most at this moment was the fact that she was picturing herself walking down the aisle in the
The Sweetest Temptation 83| Pedestrian bridge.
"Shit!" Axel exclaimed as he rushed to the window and closed the blinds. Could he have taken pictures of him and Reese while they were arguing? He thought and panicked. Those pictures must not be put out to the public.Blowing out a frustrated breath, he took to his heels and rushed outside. He had to get to the photographer and destroy the pictures before he posts them and make the public get different ideas. "Axel!" Luke called as he followed Axel outside. He noticed the worried look on his face when he was rushing out, and that bothered him. He needed to make sure he was okay. "Luke." Axel called, his breath hitching from the short run he had done, as he looked up at the pedestrian bridge where the photographer was still standing. "Look up."Luke sprung his head up, tracing Axel’s line of sight. "What should I see?""I think the photographer up there took photos of me and Reese while we were arguing." Axel told him. "We have to catch him."Luke chuckled softly. "You are supposed
The Sweetest Temptation 84| Ball invitation.
When Axel got home, he took the pictures obtained from the photographer to the hearth to burn them. Standing by the hearth and staring at the pictures, a soothing warmth saturated his heart, and he couldn’t stop himself from smiling.She looked so beautiful in the wedding dress. When he saw her at the boutique, his pulse pattered to uneven beats at the sight of her inside the wedding dress. Although he tried so hard to avoid staring at her, he couldn’t get her beautiful image out of his head, and for a brief moment, the imagination of her walking down the aisle in that dress flashed through his head, but he ordered that imagination gone, and it obeyed. But right now, staring at the pictures of him and her standing together, those imaginations returned, and yet again, he ordered them gone. But this time around, his imagination defied him. He stood there, fantasizing about getting married to Reese, butterflies churning against his will in his stomach. The sound of his phone ringing

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 145| Maui, Hawaii.
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 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
The Sweetest Temptation 143| Stay with me.
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
The Sweetest Temptation 142| You, Axel.
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
The Sweetest Temptation 141| Say bye.
"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
The Sweetest Temptation 140| Abducted.
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
The Sweetest Temptation 139| Where is Lucy?
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
The Sweetest Temptation 138| Bachelorette.
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
