All Chapters of The Dark Temptations: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“HE IS THAT NOTHING WHEN PEOPLE ASK ‘WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?’”   EARLIER "I say give him a chance Avery, He seems nice to me. I know what you went through alright, but you can't live your whole life in the fear of getting hurt. Don't you have enough phobias already?" She is right, I shouldn't be so weak. But is it really worth the risk?    When Avery went back to the cafe, Riccardo was no longer there. She didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed at that. The whole day Avery couldn't focus on her work. Her mind was swirling with confusion and doubts. Avery didn't realise that it was so late until she was worn out to the bone.  "Avery! Stop mixing the batter, we don't need anymore cupcakes!" She heard Nora say. "Oh" She loo

"OUR SOULS HAVE BEEN WAITING LIFE TIME FOR OUR HEARTS TO FINALLY MEET."   EARLIER  Avery pushed herself away to look at the person's face.... "Riccardo!?"    For a second Avery felt like everything was a dream.. like she was in the twilight movie which she watched 7 times now and was just going to wake up. This is not the reality she hoped for. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to get out of the dream. Sometimes you know it's a dream but you can't get out of it. But this.. it felt too real for a dream. Avery could still feel his hands that were secured around her waist and the firm and warm chest against which she was pressed.  "Riccardo? What are you doing here!?" she said opening her eyes. "You were practically screaming in my ear, so loud and so... hurtful.. I couldn't

WHEN I SAW YOU I FELL IN LOVE AND YOU SMILED, BECAUSE YOU KNEW.. EARLIER "So if this is true... that means...." She couldn't bring the words to her lips. "I'm half blood. Half human, half god."  Avery's eyes widened. For a second she didn't realised what he was talking about, although she didn't believed in the Greek Gods,  she has always seen them as a fictional story or world that the people have created for their entertainment but she still have read so many novels on Greek mythology, enough to know what half bloods actually mean.  "You mean you have some kind of powers?!" She said out aloud. Though not all half bloods have powers, they are still different from normal people.  "Yes." He said  "But I'm guessing you won't tell me?" Avery said, now super

"YOU TOUCHED A PLACE IN MY HEAR WHERE LOVE RUNS WILD."   EARLIER Suddenly she felt a hand on her waist, gentle at first but then the grip became more tight and secure and suddenly he was in the air. Riccardo lifted her in his arms and threw her on the bed. "You are sleeping here with me on the bed and that's final."   She lay there with him. He did not touch her, just like he promised. Avery stared at the ceiling, being unable to sleep. She wondered how her life took such a drastic turn. just few hours ago her life was completely normal.. well except for Riccardo and his misunderstood feelings. But still.. she would have never thought that this much drama would enter her life! But was she really ready to risk it all for Ricc

JUST REMEMBER ONE THING LOVE, NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE IN THIS WHOLE WORLD CAN KEEP YOU AWAY FOR ME.    EARLIER He released her and nodded outside the window. "We are here." She turned to look outside only to discover that they were already halted in front of the cafe.  Avery instantly took her bag and dashed out of the car, not looking back.    "Avery! Where were you? I've been waiting forever!!" Rina screamed out as soon as Avery entered the cafe.  "Rina calm down!" Avery said after she heard people grunting in disagreement and annoyance. Avery walked towards her table and sat in front of her.  "Alright alright. Here, the presentation is ready. You need to check it and then tell me if there is something you want to change." She said and turned the laptop towards her dire
