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

Lillian's POVI stared at my phone screen, waiting for Marcus to call. I had been doing it for hours, but my eyes just got sore from the constant staring, and still, I received nothing.Eventually, I heard the doorbell ring, and I rushed out of bed, hurrying down the stairs. I almost tripped, but I managed to reach the door without any injury.With excitement, I swung the door open, hoping to see Marcus, but my hopes were dashed when I saw Alexander standing outside the house, wearing a huge smile.My mouth gaped in shock and disappointment, but before I could even recover, he pulled me into a tight hug."I missed you, Lillian," he said, gazing at my face with happiness in his eyes.I forced an awkward smile and widened the door's opening."Come in," I said, guiding him towards the living room."Do you like it here?" he asked."Yeah," I simply responded, taking a seat across from him."Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea?" I offered, but he shook his head."I am fine, Lillian. Where is
Chains of Forbidden Love Chapter 39
Lillian's POVAwkwardness engulfed us, but I couldn't muster the courage to voice my thoughts. Instead, I smiled awkwardly and continued eating, trying to forget what he said.I had an idea what he meant by those words, but I feared confronting it as I knew it would create complications.Silence settled in, and Alexander contented himself with stealing glances at my side, searching for the perfect moment to speak, which he never found."L-Let's go," I finally said when I finished eating.I wiped the side of my lips, looking at Alexander, waiting for his response.He stared at my face once again, and then he let out a deep breath and nodded his head.After settling the bill, we stepped out of the restaurant and headed towards our car.Alexander opened the door for me, and then he walked to the other side and sat in the driver's seat. He turned his head towards me."It's still early, let's go somewhere else," he suggested.I wanted to disagree, but seeing the anticipation in his eyes ma

Lillian's POVAs I gazed at his face, guilt overwhelmed me.I could see the pain in his eyes.He looked at me as though I had betrayed him."Marcus..." I softly called his name and tried to hold his hand, but he brushed away my grasp."Do you believe in me, Lillian?" he asked, peering into my eyes. Faint hope shimmered in his gaze, expecting me to say yes, but I fell silent... lost for words.How can I accuse Alexander of raping someone when I've known him my entire life, and all he showed me was kindness?Alexander became my companion and sort of a second dad when my biological father ignored me.He treated everyone with kindness and was good to people, so I can't fathom if he is truly capable of doing such things."Alexander is a good man..." I said, and when he heard those words, he looked at me in disbelief, a sarcastic smile gracing his lips."Because he is a great pretender, Lillian. Everything he has shown you are his good sides, but in fact, he is nothing but a devil who abuse
Chains of Forbidden Love Chapter 41
Lillian's POVI woke up to a gentle kiss on my cheek, and as I opened my eye, I saw Marcus gazing at me with adoration in his eyes."Good morning," he said, his smile beaming at me.I returned the smile, staring back at his face, wondering if this was all a dream. To make sure, I pecked him on the lips, and when I felt his warm, soft lips, my smile widened."Good morning," I greeted in return."You should get ready, you'll be late for school," he reminded me, and suddenly, I remembered that my classes started today. I jumped out of bed and rushed towards the bathroom, eager to make a good impression and arrive at class extra early.After a quick bath, I dressed in a black turtleneck and black pants, along with a trench coat to ward off the cold. I completed the outfit with a pair of boots. Keeping my makeup simple, I wanted to ensure I didn't look too pale. Once ready, I headed to the kitchen where Marcus and Martha were busy preparing breakfast.Marcus walked over, taking my hand,

Lillian's POVI can feel Lucas's glances on me, but I ignored him. When the other students started coming in, I decided to socialize to distract myself and to be away from Lucas.After a few minutes, the class started, and our professor stepped in.He was wearing round sunglasses, and his white moustache made him look old. He looked strict and intimidating.I sat straight and looked at him as he roamed his eyes around. When our eyes met, I smiled, but he just ignored me and took out an object from his bag - an apple."Paint this apple in an hour. Your timer starts now," he said, and he was about to walk away when Tiffany raised her hand."Won't we introduce ourselves first?" she bravely asked.The professor walked towards her, and I could see her hands trembling as he took a step closer."I don't care about your names, Miss. I care about your art. Impress me with your art, then I will be interested to know your name. But if you can't do that, why waste my time on knowing you?" he aske

Lillian's POVI feel guilty looking at him without being able to tell him that I am engaged to someone."Are you okay?" he asked.I stared at his face.Should I tell him now? But before I could even decide, I saw Lucas stepping inside the store with a woman.Our eyes met. He smiled at me while I remained frozen.Lucas walked towards us while the woman he was with headed to the counter."Hi fia-," Before he could even say that word, I stomped on his foot, making him whimper in pain."What is wrong with you?" he asked, looking at me completely confused. But instead of answering his question, I looked at Marcus, who was looking at us darkly."What's happening?" Marcus coldly asked.I fell silent, and I felt my heart beating loudly in my chest."You're on a date, I see," Lucas said, and a teasing smile played on his lips.If Marcus wasn't here, I would have already punched him in the face.Why does he have to show up here?The courage that I had earlier to confess everything to Marcus was
