All Chapters of Dangerous Temptation: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

MARGAUX'S BODY TURNED INTO A MASS of need as soon as Rome's mouth met hers. Biting her lower lips, she opened herself to welcome him more.Just like on the night he became her official outlet, he kissed her with hunger, ravishing her while gripping her hips and pinning her down.For a split second, she asked herself why Rome always tasted like sweet mint. It was even impossible for her to turn down his kisses. Too sweet to resist.'Really, Margaux? Even better than Greg's—'Her thoughts were halted when Rome harshly flipped her body above the bed, making her hang on it with her knees touching the floor. She huffed when his palm pressed her down even more against the soft sheets, making her look like prey under his mercy. "Oh, God...""I can't give you foreplay at this rate, cara ."'Of course you cannot!' Margaux closed her eyes with her thoughts upon hearing his tortured voice. He began kissing her nape and shoulders.Rushing, Rome slipped one of his arms under her belly and caresse

Margaux's world stopped when the dangerous voice tore through her rants. She felt the air thinning. Then slowly, she lifted her head until she was looking at his face.To her surprise, the man before her wasn't wearing anything fancy at all. Instead, he was wearing a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. But, of course, that shouldn't be since the celebration in the function hall was all about him. He was Mr. Rossu's client—the bridegroom himself."What the—Greg?" She felt a sudden gush of fear and confusion wash over her. He was looking at her disdainfully, and it was making her want to run. "How... Why are you—Isn't this supposed to be your engagement party?""Crowd aren't my thing, baby," he cut her off with a grim smile. And for a moment, she thought she saw a monster in him. He didn't even look like the same man she had loved years ago. "I'd rather have a private party with someone than a crowd full of monkeys." He gave her a malicious once over, and the goosebumps that crawled acros

"$20 MILLION." Greg's eyes widened in horror as the floor-to-ceiling screen in front of him showed the number. The room he was sitting in was dark, with just the monitor illuminating it. The number blinked in bright red as the robotic voice of the woman behind her announced it through a microphone.There were several program windows on the screen too, like when a team was doing a video call. Most of the people attending that cyber meeting were wearing masks, except for an old couple who looked nervous and unsure.'Mom! Dad!' his mind screamed. Only God knew how he ended up sitting inside that place after his parents called about receiving a red letter. He was barely conscious for days after Margaux's beast husband crashed some of his bones inside the Golden Palm Hotel.Little did he know that the red letter was a Money Game invitation, and Margaux's husband was connected to the Dark Blue. He was still recovering in his ward when a group of shadows suddenly broke into his room at midni

It was the empty sheet beside her that woke Margaux up. Instantaneously, her eyes searched for Rome upon realizing that he wasn't beside her. She was wincing when she scanned the room. A second more, and she stiffened, recognizing that she wasn't in her treehouse."Shit!" Her head was spinning when she rushed out of bed. Did Rome carry her back to her room last night? How come she didn't know?She grabbed the alarm clock on her bedside table and cursed louder, realizing that it was almost lunch. The sun was already up, which meant that they needed to go back to being strangers again. Although she wanted to question Rome, she would have to wait until eleven in the evening tonight before approaching him again.'Rules!' She palmed her face while walking to the bathroom. She wasn't the type to regret things she decided on, but she couldn't stop herself because of the rules she made.She had no exact name for what was irritating her. Nonetheless, she was sure that she liked waking up to Ro

[WE HAD A SECURITY BREACH YESTERDAY.]Rome clutched the steering wheel tighter upon hearing Lucille's report. He was sitting alone inside Margaux's car while talking to his assistant over a lapel mic. The afternoon was breezy inside Eternal Garden Memorial Park, but the beautiful weather wasn't enough to cool his temper down.He hadn't been in his best mood since the argument he had with Margaux this morning. Although he succeeded in forcing his cara to take him with her, he also got him on the wrong side of his woman. Thus, she ended up ignoring him the whole time.There was nothing but deafening silence between him and his cara when they drove. Then, as soon as they got to the memorial park where Alicia was buried, Margaux leapt out of the car, walked as fast as she could to her mother's grave, and didn't even look back!"How the fuck did that happen, Lucille?" He breathed in frustration while palming his face. He hadn't gotten over Margaux's attitude towards him yet, and here came
