The following day, Reese and Jasper met at a park. He wanted them to meet at a restaurant and have dinner together, but she insisted on meeting up with him at a park and during the day. He was already at the venue—sitting on a bench—when she got there. She had only one mission for going there, and that was to tell him to fuck off and never show up in her life again. “Reese McBride.” Jasper called, a smile curling on his lips as she approached him. She maintained a straight expression. She had no reason to smile back at him. Sitting beside him on the bench, she went straight to the point. “Why did you ask to meet with me?”“Reese.” He called, his eyes fixed on her. “I miss you. I miss us. I miss what we used to have.”She raised a brow. “And what did we use to have?”“We used to have a beautiful relationship.” He said.“Until you cheated on me with Rebecca. Because—“ she made the air quote gesture. “I don’t know how to satisfy a man.”“Rebecca was a mistake.” He muttered. “Jasper…
The Sweetest Temptation 136| Eat.
The drive back to the hotel where they had been staying together was a very quiet one, but they kept stealing glances at each other."I want to prepare lunch for you." Axel said as he pulled up to his garage. "What do you want to eat?""Whatever your majesty wants to prepare." Reese said."Come here." He said as he cupped her face and drew her in, crashing his lips on hers."After eating lunch, I would eat you." He said, and she chuckled softly.His phone suddenly beeped, and he picked it up to look at who had sent him a text. It was an image sent from an unknown number, and he wondered who it was and what was sent. He downloaded the image, and his heart dropped to his stomach. The pictures were nudes. Nudes that had Reese’s face on them."What’s wrong?" Reese asked when she saw the sudden change in his expression.He handed the phone to her to see for herself, and her heart almost jumped out of her mouth when she sighted it."I swear this is not me." She quickly defended herself."Thi
The Sweetest Temptation 137| Email.
"Honey. Come and take a look at what I am looking at here." Axel's mother said, holding her phone and looking shocked.She had gotten an email showing Reese's covered nude photo, along with a shocking text. Axel's father came out from the bathroom, and the phone was handed over to him. He was shocked to see Reese, and the text read: "This is Reese, as I'm certain you all know. She has had an abortion in the past and is currently pregnant."They were both shocked to hear that and looked at each other in surprise. Axel's father was clearly furious and looked like he could throw things around. He checked his email and also saw the same message. They both wondered who it could be and why they were sending the message.While they were thinking of what to do, they heard a knock on their door, and Axel's mother went to open the door, and lo and behold, it was Reese's parents.~They sat down, and they were discussing Reese's photo. They had also gotten the same email from each other."Reese

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
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

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

"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

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
