Chains of Forbidden Love Chapter 30
Marcus's POVThroughout the dinner, I clenched my fist tightly, my gaze fixated on Lillian, intentionally avoiding Alexander's face. I knew that if I looked at him, I might lose control."I have to go. Thank you for the dinner, Gabriel," Alexander announced, breaking the tension in the room. I turned my head towards him, our eyes meeting. There was a mocking look in his eyes that infuriated me.Then, he turned his attention to Lillian. "My offer is always available, Lillian, in case you change your mind," he said, flashing a smile. My insides boiled as I saw Lillian smile back at him.He then shifted his gaze to my mother, Victoria, who was looking at him with a smile on her face. "Good luck with your upcoming wedding. I hope nothing goes wrong," he said, glancing at me before returning his focus to Gabriel. "Right, Gabriel?" he asked, a sly smile playing on his lips."Alexander," Gabriel uttered his name with a warning tone. Alexander laughed and looked back at my mother, whose s

Lillian's POVI stared at his face intently, memorizing every feature, knowing that time would pass quickly, and I had no idea when I would be able to see him up close again.And true enough, before I knew it, I was already leaving for London."Is this everything you're taking to London, Lillian?" Martha asked as she checked the suitcases I had packed.I looked at her and nodded."I'll take these to the car," she said, and I simply nodded again, letting them handle the luggage. Once they were all gone, I began calling his number, but he wasn't answering."Come on, Marcus, pick up," I pleaded as I paced around my room, waiting for him to answer the call."Your father is calling you, Lillian," Martha said as she entered the room.I looked at her and let out a deep breath."He's not answering?" she asked.A bitter smile formed on my lips, and a heavy feeling settled within me. Unable to bear it any longer, tears cascaded down my face.Martha immediately pulled me into a tight hug, caress

Marcus's POVFrustration consumed me when the trial was rescheduled. I couldn't simply walk away and not attend; life was at stake here. Despite wanting to send Lillian to the airport, I couldn't neglect my job.After what felt like hours, the trial was finally done, and without bidding goodbye to anyone, I rushed to my car and drove towards the White House, but by the time I arrived, Lillian was no longer there."They already left, Marcus," Alexander informed me as I stepped inside the house.They were settled in the living room discussing something, but instead of joining them, I headed out and drove straight to the airport. I immediately booked a flight to London, though I had to wait for an hour.While waiting, I planned to call Lillian, but today had been so messed up that I forgot my phone at the court. Going back to get it might make me miss my flight, so I decided to wait at the airport, which felt like an eternity.An hour passed, and when they called passengers, I boarded th

Lillian's POVI woke up with a pounding head. As I moved to get out of bed, I noticed Marcus sleeping beside me, his arm wrapped around my waist.His face reminded me of the picture Dylan had posted. Frustration boiled inside me, and without thinking, I slapped Marcus on the cheek, startling him awake."Ouch! What was that for?" he asked, looking confused."Nothing," I mumbled, attempting to get up, but Marcus held me firmly in place.He pulled me into a tight hug, burying his face in my neck, knowing it was my weakness. "Are you still mad at me, Love?" he whispered softly.I stayed silent, refusing to respond."I'm sorry the trial got rescheduled," he began to explain, but I interrupted him."You had to celebrate Alice's birthday, right?" I asked, my anger simmering.Marcus positioned himself above me, trying to meet my gaze, but I looked away, avoiding his eyes."No, Love, I even forgot her birthday," he said, and I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically at his words.How dare he l

Marcus's POVI felt at ease now that we were finally okay.Earlier, fear filled me when I heard Lillian crying in the bathroom, refusing to talk to me. I was terrified that she might end our relationship, but now that things were resolved, I could finally breathe."How long do you plan to stay here, Marcus?" Martha asked during breakfast.I glanced at Lillian, and she seemed curious about my response. I turned my attention back to Martha."I have to leave tomorrow morning. I still have work left in Washington," I explained.Martha nodded and then looked at Lillian, who tried to hide her sadness behind a smile."Does Gabriel know that you are here?" Martha asked, so I turned my attention to her again."I don't know. I rushed to the airport when I heard that you had already left. I didn't get a chance to tell anyone that I was flying to London," I replied.Martha nodded and resumed eating, so I looked at Lillian once more.She was quiet and avoided looking at me. Under the table, I he

Lillian's POVI woke up to a gentle kiss on my cheek, and as I opened my eyes, Marcus stood before me.He looks like he is ready to leave."Sorry for waking you," he said before sitting on the bed's edge. I crawled toward him, hugging his waist.He chuckled softly, stroking my hair tenderly."I have to leave, Love," he said, when I heard that I pouted, sadness creeping into me."Already?" I asked, the heaviness evident.Marcus sighed, nodding. "I'll be back before you know it," he said, trying to comfort me with a smile, but the sadness lingered."I'll wait for you," I said.Marcus smiled, gazing at my face, then planted a soft kiss on my lips."Don't attract too many boys, please," he joked, and I laughed."I'm not attracting them," I defended myself."Why do you have to be this beautiful, anyway?" he teased, making my cheeks blush.I playfully slapped his arm and glared, but he just laughed."I'll be back next weekend. I cooked breakfast for you, make sure to eat those," he said.

Marcus's POVI focused my gaze on the computer screen, studying the document containing the statement my client had given me."You're pulling all-nighters again?" Alice said, stepping into my office.I turned to look at her and nodded silently.I thought she would leave, but instead, she sat down in the chair across from my desk, where clients usually sit."Do you need anything?" I asked.Alice stared at my face for a while before sighing heavily."Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?" she asked, her eyes fixed on me."What do you mean?" I asked, confused by her question."You look like a mess, Marcus. Have you seen the dark circles around your eyes, and you've lost so much weight in just a few days from staying up all night and skipping meals," she said.Taking a deep breath, I set the documents aside and focused entirely on Alice."I have to win this case. I need to find evidence-" Alice let out a sarcastic laugh, interrupting what I am about to say."And you still have a mont

Marcus's POVI stared at my phone screen after the call ended.Gabriel's words kept echoing in my mind."Marcus!" A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Alice at the door, her eyebrows furrowed with concern."Are you okay?" she asked, her eyes filled with worry.I took a deep breath and nodded."Do you need anything?" I asked."I have a trial today, do you want to attend?" she asked, and I nodded again, walking out of my office with her.We left the law firm together, driving separately to the court.After a few minutes, we arrived at the court, and Alice headed towards the defence side while I sat in the front row.As the trial began, I found myself unable to concentrate. My mind was drifting, lost in my thoughts."Marcus," Alice called, bringing me back to the present."It's done. Let's go," she said, and I looked around to realize I was the only one left on the bench."Yeah, sorry," I said, standing up and leaving the courtroom.I could feel Alice's concerned gl
