Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Twenty-Five - Nicholas Proves A Point
“Don’t you seem to be in a hurry to throw me out?” asked Nicholas, watching her with hooded eyes as she bustled about in the kitchen. Alyssa was acutely aware of his stare and of his promise of another kiss but she tried hard to look busy. She wouldn’t allow another kiss at all! Nicholas was toxic to her system and she wouldn’t let him crawl under her skin and into her heart. “No, I need to go and see Hayley. I have two tickets to an evening movie show and I want her to tag along.” Contrary to her expectations, that got Nicholas’s attention and he ambled towards her, his eyes fixed upon his prey. “Why can’t I come along?” he asked innocently and Alyssa would have believed him if she didn’t know otherwise. “No, you can’t. Look, I know why you’re chasing me, Nicholas. So why don’t you stop? It’s not working and Alexander isn’t here to see your conquests,” muttered Alyssa. Nicholas’s jaws dropped at her implications. He had that motive earlier but now it was purely out of interest tha

Strangely her words didn’t have any effect on him as he just walked over and climbed into her passenger seat. “I knew Hayley wouldn’t agree to go. So it seems you’re stuck with me,” said Nicholas with a smirk that Alyssa wanted to erase. After forcefully kissing her, after proving his point, he now had the audacity to accompany her to the movie when it was because of him that she was going. She needed to get him out of her system. “I don’t need company, Nicholas. I just want to be alone.” Nicholas shook his head and took out his mobile phone. “Hey, Mike! Can you come down and collect my car from Barclay mansion,” he instructed someone over the phone. “That was my neighbor. He’s coming over to pick up my car and then we'll be able to go.” “You’re not invited, Nicholas.” Nicholas clutched at his heart and grinned at her. “Don’t push me away Alyssa. I know now that you’re not immune to me. So I still will chase you to the end of the world.” Alyssa’s jaws dropped hearing his weird re

Soon Alyssa forgot their topic of discussion as she munched on the crispy beer battered fish dipped in ranch dressing. “This is amazing! I love this dressing! Where did you get it from?” rambled Alyssa while Nicholas watched her with a small smile of satisfaction on his face. “Let it be a secret so that I can be the one to bring it to you whenever you want it.” Alyssa didn’t mind his creepy retort and tucked into a slice of deep-dish cheesesteak pizza that was her absolute favorite. “I ordered the same thing last week at Lucas’s house and Sienna and mom loved it too.” “Oh, they might be knowing your secret restaurant. I’ll ask Sienna.” She grinned at Nicholas who groaned. It was the first time they ate amicably, without fighting, without arguing. Nicholas told her how he panicked when he received his mom's distress call. “What happened to granny?” Nicholas looked a little upset and told her about granny’s sudden sickness. “She fell unconscious all of a sudden and when mom checked,
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Twenty-Eight - At Nicholas's Place
Alyssa didn’t see Nicholas the next day at work. She was dying to blast the guy for lying to her brother. Alexander had gone to his parents' house last night and Alyssa was sure that it was only to complain about her. She knew her stepfather would stop transferring funds to her account to teach her a lesson but she wasn’t bothered this time. She had a job to fall back upon. The pay was enough to let her survive. She was seething to confront Nicholas after a whole day at work. She knew she wouldn’t be able to confront him once she reached home. Maybe she would find her stepdad there already waiting for her to vacate the apartment! Suddenly she remembered Nicholas’s parting shot from last night.I’ll make dinner for you tomorrow and wait for you all night.She steered her car towards his house, eager to give him a piece of her mind. She didn’t think he would wait for her anymore after the stunt he pulled in front of her brother. She parked her car and went up the elevator in a fit of
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Twenty-Nine - Nicholas's Betrayal
Alyssa drove home, deep in thought, wondering how Nicholas behaved like a perfect gentleman tonight. She was uselessly getting worked up. In fact, she enjoyed herself more at his house than in her own. Sighing she parked her car but her eyes popped out seeing her stepdad’s car parked a few feet away. So she was right after all! Daniel Van Every was here to blast her! She dreaded going up to her apartment but what choice did she have? Unlocking the door, she went inside and looked around. Her stepdad wasn’t there. So maybe he had gone over to Alexander’s apartment instead of hers. Relieved, she changed for bed and went to the kitchen to get some water when the main door clicked open and Alexander stormed inside followed by his dad. Alyssa was immediately on high alert and walked out of the kitchen towards the door. “Alyssa! Where the hell had you been? I went to your office but you had left three hours ago,” Alexander demanded angrily. Alyssa stared at her brother, surprised to know
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Thirty - Eva And Alyssa Move Out
A week passed by and the two friends hardly met Alexander. It seemed as if he too was avoiding them. Eva went out with Maxwell twice and a sweet friendship started to blossom between them. Alyssa on the other hand stayed locked up in the apartment with nowhere to go. She accepted the job termination email that Maxwell had sent her and made no effort to look for another opportunity elsewhere. Strangely Nicholas did not bother her at all. Obviously, he got what he wanted and left her to lick her wounds! It was Saturday evening and Eva returned from her duty, looking cheerful and pleased with herself. “Guess what? I’ve bought a one-bedroom apartment for myself. I’m moving in tomorrow,” she announced to her friend who sat with her jaws dropped to the floor. “Why did you use up the inheritance money, Eva? We were managing fine here, weren’t we?” Eva shook her head slowly and before she could say a word Alyssa understood why she did it. “That makes two of us then. I’ll move in with you.

“I’ll think about it,” said Alyssa. She somehow had an inkling that maybe it was Nicholas who had sent Maxwell here with a job offer for her. However, more than that, what irked her was how did Nicholas know that she had shifted here with Eva!“There’s nothing to think about, Alyssa. The pay is huge. In fact, it sounds too good to be true,” said Eva as they sat on the bed. “That’s exactly why I am suspicious that Nicholas might be the one offering me the job.” Eva gaped at her friend since she had hardly considered that angle. “Didn’t you hear Maxwell admit that it was Nicholas who gave him our address?” “I’m sure he’s stalking you for some reason,” said Eva, making Alyssa’s jaws drop as a feeling of dread settled in the pit of her stomach. “Why would he? This is so creepy, Eva,” she shuddered. “Anyway, I still have the pay in my account to fall back on if I don't take up the job offer. Don’t worry.”The next morning, Alyssa was ready to go to Maxwell’s office to find out more abou
Tempted By The Enemy (Temptation Series Book 3) Chapter Thirty-Two - First Day At His Office
After that confrontation with Alexander, all the energy drained out of Alyssa’s body. She opened the door to their bedroom and found Eva sitting at the window with tears in her eyes. “What happened? What’s there to feel upset over him? You know how impossible he is,” said Alyssa but the tears fell incessantly from Eva’s cheeks. “Why does he torture me always? Why can’t he admit that he needs me?” she cried out, her voice cracking with the effort to speak. It was obvious that Alexander had hurt her again somehow. “He does in his own twisted way. I don’t understand why he is so stuck up. Anyway I’ve got the job,” said Alyssa while Eva gaped at her with disbelief. She wiped her eyes and smiled at her with relief. “That’s the best news I’ve heard all morning,” she said appreciatively. “So who’s your new boss? Some hot hunk who would whisk you away from under Nicholas’s nose?” Alyssa rolled her eyes at her friend’s impossible wish! “No, it’s Nicholas himself!” she groaned while Eva sa
