All Chapters of Mia Cara (Temptation Series Book 2): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Cara was stunned and rendered speechless. Why was he asking her to use his name? Wasn’t that unprofessional? She was a maid working for him after all! No, she couldn’t call him by his name. Whatever motive he might have behind it, she wouldn’t fall into that. “Sorry, Mr. Donnelly. I’m not in a position to call you that,” she said, but he still didn’t budge and she was stuck in the room with him. “I have other work to do. Please can I leave?” She asked, but his hypnotic eyes seemed to make her drown into their very depths. Even after everything he said and did to her, she just couldn’t deny the butterflies in her stomach at his nearness. There was a warmth and something else emanating from him that was attracting her towards him. Of course, without a doubt, he was the most virile and gorgeou

The next day everyone wanted to just laze around, to regain their energy for the following day. The girls tried on their wedding fineries for the final rehearsal. The decorators were busy, working at the banquet hall. The caterers would arrive later since the wedding was in the morning. Sienna and her friends were eagerly putting on everything to check the final look. However, to Sienna’s immense shock, the family heirloom, the priceless antique jewelry that Lucas’s mom had given her to wear on her wedding day, went missing! Everyone was upset, especially Sienna who started sobbing uncontrollably. Mrs. Donnelly tried her best to calm her down since she wasn’t keeping well due to her pregnancy.  Unaware of the situation upstairs, Cara, Maria and Pam slogged hard in the kitchen making refreshments for all the guests. Since Cara was the youngest, she was made to run the errands and serve everyone the fo

Margaret Smithfield pushed open a rickety old door and ushered him inside. Marcus noticed a tiny room where three children were sitting on a bed and studying. A scared Cara peered out of the tiny kitchen at the corner and her eyes widened with horror seeing none other than Marcus Donnelly there at her doorstep. She hadn’t expected him to come all the way here after everything that happened. When Aunt Maggie had informed her of his presence she had expected him to leave when she refused to meet him but he hadn’t. He came to her house instead. “Cara, Mr. Donnelly really wants to talk to you,” said Aunt Maggie. Cara came forward after wiping her hands, her eyes avoided looking at Marcus. Why was he here when she didn’t have anything to do with him? Did he too think that she was the thief? Had he come to search her house? M

After her performance, Cara was about to leave the club when her eyes fell upon Ben Duncan waiting for her in front of the main gates. She gasped with surprise and rushed forward to meet the kind, old man. “What a pleasant surprise, uncle Ben? I thought you’d forgotten me,” said Cara with a warm smile. Uncle Ben gave her a hug and smiled back. “Did you really expect me to forget my favorite jacket?” He asked fondly. Cara’s eyes widened since she didn’t have the jacket with her. “I don’t have it with me, uncle Ben. I didn’t know that you would be coming over today,” said Cara, looking embarrassed. Uncle Ben laughed at her naivety. “I’m just kidding, my dear. So are you do

Cara’s eyes widened with apprehension as she took baby steps towards him. Placing the tray in front of him on a coffee table, she wrung her hands together nervously. “I need to do the dishes and then the laundry, sir,” she said, turning to go. “Wait,” said Marcus in a hoarse voice getting up from his chair. Cara took a step or two backward with nervousness, wondering what he was up to as he approached her slowly. Stopping inches away from her, he gazed at her face as if committing her features to his memory. His hand tucked a stray curl away from her face, the contact, making a tremor run down her spine. With his hot breath fanning her face and the tingling scent of his cologne lingering on her nostrils, Cara was more nervous than ever before. She had to get away before she melted at his touch. She turned around abruptly and ran out of the room, unable to take in the ten
