FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 23
JOSHI walk up to the cafeteria feeling annoyed by what i just heard from the principal. Suspend me? For what? Whatever. I know my Mia will definitely elevate my mood.I walk in to find everyone whispering and snickering and by my table is a furious looking Lucy,a sorry looking Cathy, an oddly calm looking Miquel and my Mia covered in spaghetti and meatballs.Her face is hidden because she’s backing me and her head is facing the ground but i am very sure that’s she hurt and is in tears.I move closer to them and i hear Cathy and Lucy arguing.“I can’t believe you’re siding this bitch. You’re choosing her over your best friend.” Bitch? Did she just call my Mia a bitch? She is definitely going to pay for uttering that nonesense.“I’m not siding…” I interrupt Cathy’s speech.“What the hell is going on here?” I inquire,staring at Mia in this state makes me furious and i know it’s only two people who can do this. It is either Bianca or Lucy and i’m smart enough to know that it is definit

I park the car at a deserted looking area and we get out of it.“Where are we?”“This isn’t the place i wanna take you to. Just follow me.” I tell her and we head to my favourite place.“Ohh my…wow.” Mia gushes once she sights the garden.This is the place i come to whenever i need peace and since Mia is special to me, i’ve decided to bring her here.“It’s so beautiful.” She says and sniffs the flowers one by one.“Not more beautiful than you.” I smile and she blushes.She’s always blushing anytime i compliment her. Am i that much of a rizz god?“This is my special place so i decided to bring the girl that’s close to my heart here.” I walk up to her and grab her waist pulling her closer to me.“Josh.” She calls out, her face red as a tomato.“It’s just the two of us here Mia, so you don’t have to push me away.”“I’m not pushing you away.” She counters.“So what then?” I ask in her ear, my lips grazing against her earlobe which tickles her.“Stop it.” She giggles and tries to push me a

Dad sights Mia and i and quickly hangs up the call, drawing Kate’s attention towards us.“Where the hell behave you been?” He asks in a fit of rage as Kate runs up to Mia, pulling her in a tight embrace.“We’re not kids anymore dad,you didn’t have to be so worried.” I respond dryly.“Don’t speak to your father like that.” I hear Kate say.“Why did you leave school before classes were over.” I see Mia’s eyes widen in shock.“Ho..how..did you..f..find out.” She stutters in fear.“I was worried that you weren’t back home yet even though school had long been over so i called Max whom called your principal.” Kate replies.“And she told us that you left the school premises with Mia long before classes were over without informing her or anyone the reason why?”“Mia had some problems at school okay. She was hurt and crying and i couldn’t see her like that..” I yell in response. “…so i took her somewhere peaceful to calm her down.” I tell them softly.“Mia! Is that true?” Kate cups Mia’s face w

MIAAfter spending that intimate moment with Josh and taking a contraceptive pill, i sneak back to my room so that none of our parents can see us together.I enter my room and sigh in relief at my success. I lay on my bed and smile remembering the moment Josh and i shared few minutes ago.“I love you.” My words replay in my head and i chuckle. I never meant to say that, it just came out unexpectedly.I vividly recall the excited look on Josh’s face once he heard that from me, he definitely wasn’t expecting it and was definitely taken aback.“Josh! You’re making me crazy.” I giggle and plant my face unto my pillow.*****I walk into the classroom and almost have a head on collision with Miquel.“Woah!” I say and move back a little.“I have been waiting for you Mia.” He utters, ignoring the fact that we almost head butted each other.“Why?” I raise a brow, folding my arms below my chest.“I..umm.. i wanted to apologise for yesterday. I didn’t stand up for you and i’m sorry.” He apologise

I walk into class looking all jittery and my gaze moves to Josh who stares back at me with a worried and confused expression on his face.I flash him a forced smile, trying my best to make it look genuine but i know very well that he doesn’t buy it.I settle down on my seat trying my utmost best to listen to what the teacher is saying but i’m unable to do so as all Ross had told me keeps repeating in my head.“Mia can you tell me the answer?” I hear the teacher ask.Of all the students in this class, i just happen to be the one the question is thrown to.“Umm..” I look at the board trying to see if the question or anything relating to the question is written there?“Were you even listening?” I sigh.“I’m sorry ma’am.” I apologise and she throws the question to someone else.My gaze moves to Josh and he flashes me an ‘are you okay?’ look. I try myself to smile wholeheartedly so he won’t get suspicious but i fail woefully.I avert my gaze trying to listen to the teacher when someone lea

“I’ll kill Josh.” Ross says flatly and i gasp.“Kill? Wh…what are...you..sa…saying Ross...” I’m unable to control my emotions.Why would he want to kill Josh? “If you refuse to be with me, i won’t let you be with Josh either.”“Please…don’t do this Ross.” I beg,tears clouding my eyes.“The only way you can save your lover is by dating me.” He states, using his fingers to wipe my tears. “So what’s your decision darling?” He asks.What do i do? Josh is nowhere to be found, i can’t ask him or anyone for help and his life is in danger too.The only way i can save his life is by dating this monster.“You have five seconds to answer my question or else your boyfriend looses his life.” He tells me. “Five….Four…” He starts counting.Why is my relationship with Josh facing hurdles? Why is Ross so cruel? And where the heck is Josh.“…Three….Two….”“I’ll be your girlfriend.” I blurt out. What other choice do i have?“I knew you were going to accept.” He smiles still wiping my tears.“Can i go n

I compose myself and pick up my phone which had been laying on the bed and i place it on my ear.“I’ve…i’ve done..what you wanted Ross.” I inform him.“I can’t believe you fell for him. And i can’t believe he’s fuming because his stepsister broke up with him. You guys make me sick.” Ross gags. “Well, since you got the job done i’ll forgive you for allowing that wretch to kiss you.”“Don’t call him names.” I holler.“Lower your voice or you’ll regret it.” He warns and i gulp nervously.“I’m coming to pick you up by seven so get ready.” He tells me and i check the time only to realise that i have less than two hours left.“Where are you taking me?” I inquire.“Don’t question me.” He orders harshly. “I’ll be at your place by seven so make sure to look sexy for me.” He says and hangs up.I don’t want to go anywhere with Ross, i don’t want to be with him neither do i want to be his girlfriend. But what choice do i have? “This monster…he made me hurt the only one i’ve ever loved.” I say in

I stare around the restaurant still shaken about the fact that Ross had booked it all for us both and even decorated it beautifully.This is just what i had hoped my first date would be like, balloons with my favorite color decorating the restaurant, pictures of me in every position of the restaurant, a huge frame with us in it, my favorite song playing and my favorite food being served, him adoring me and complimenting me and a whole bunch of other things.The only difference between what i had imagined my first date would be like and this is… well they’re more than one but i’ll be glad to list them all.Firstly, the balloons aren’t even in my favorite color, they’re pink uggh, the huge frame has an edited picture of Ross and i in it..omg…and i am on a date with the guy i despise so much. He tried impressing me, he even complimented me, it’s a shame that all his attempts to win me over will be in vain.“Earth to Mia.” Ross snaps his fingers in my face pulling me out of my trance.“W

MIAI stare at Ross intently. Why is he doing this? This. The date, the fancy restaurant, the romantic setup, the…“Mia.” I feel warm hands on mine and I snatch my hand away. He looks visibly hurt by that.“I..It…It was a reflex action.” I try to explain.“Are you..uncomfortable? You seem…” He pauses and I wait. Is he going to complete the sentence?It seems like he wants me to speak, so I do so.“Why are you doing this Ross?” I inquire.“What are you talking about?”“This.” I look around. “You called out of the blue saying I should get ready, that you had a surprise for me. I kinda expected it to be this but…” I pause.“Ross.” I call out. “I can’t forget what you did. I know I agreed to be your girlfriend for a week but…this… I…” I sigh. He does so too.“Mia, I know I’ve been a terrible human and…”“You strangled me.” I place my hand on my neck. “I thought I was going to die.” He averts his gaze.“You murdered someone.”“I didn’t, Mia. I didn’t kill her.”“Yes you did. You’re capable
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 48
JOSHMia makes me feel things I’ve never felt, she makes me do and say things I never imagined I would’ve done or said. I’ve been with a lot of girls, many with curvier bodies, model-like faces, daddy’s money, but yet, my stepsister, an ordinary girl that happened to walk into my life is the one who has captured my heart. Why? Why her? Why can’t I let go of her? Why can’t I stay away? Our relationship is “disgusting” as some would say, it’s wrong in every way possible but yet I still want more of her, yet, I want to show everyone that I don’t give a damn about what they say or think of us, I want to claim her, make her mine and mine alone….The question though is if she wants the same. There are times—like today—when I feel like she wants no one else but me, but there are also days when I feel like she wants far away from me as possible, like she wants us to remain as siblings and nothing more.Yes, she does say that a lot, going back and forth between wanting me and not wanting me,
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 47
JOSH I head into the bar and immediately spot Miquel sitting by the counter. I walk up to him and settle beside him. “Hey man.” He greets. “Hey.” I respond lazily. “What’s up with you?” He inquires. “Nothing.” I answer and beckon to one of the waiters. “A bottle of your finest and strongest liquor.” I tell the waiter “Actually, sir..” “ I’m not interested in whatever you have to say. Just get me the damn liquor.” I say in a half yell and he nods in understanding before walking off. Miquel looks at me, clearly intending to ask questions but decides against it. The waiter returns with my drink and I pour it into the cup and down it at a go, the taste burning my throat. Miquel and I sip our drinks in a comfortable silence, well, except from the music playing in the bar and the blurred out noises of the people in it. “How’s Mia?” He asks out of the blue and my jaw tightens. Images of her starts filling my mind. Her gorgeous smile, her pink luscious lips, her curvy and sexy body
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 46
MIAMom seemed extremely furious at Josh and me, she yelled a lot and scolded me for apparently ‘watching my brother beat up my boyfriend’ but that isn’t what’s on my mind right now, I’m more worried about Josh, about myself, about our relationship.“You just love hurting me, don’t you, Mia?” I can still hear the pain in his voice as those words repeat themselves in my head.I sigh and head upstairs to my room, only to be pulled aside by none other than Josh.He slams my back against the wall and pins me down, his hand on the wall, right beside my head, stopping my escape.“Josh..” I call out, staring into his gorgeous blue eyes.“Everything you said back there…” He pauses, searching my face. “…You didn’t mean it, right?” I gulp down nothing.“I…I..” I search for words. Did I really mean it? Do I really want to end our relationship? But it’s wrong, we’re siblings and we’re not supposed to be feeling this way for each other.“Answer me.” He orders in a dangerously low voice, his face i
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 45
ROSSI can’t explain what I felt when Mia called me saying her parents wanted to meet me, her boyfriend. Josh’s dad has seen me a lot of times though and her mom has seen me once before, so it was still a bit confusing that they wanted to meet me.I didn’t want to bother myself thinking about that and only hoped that nighttime would arrive quickly and I’d meet Mia’s family.After what seemed like forever, nighttime arrived and I was all decked up in my tuxedo. Once I felt prepared, I headed to their home and nervously knocked on their door.“Ross?” Josh’s dad had seemed pretty shocked to see me. Did Mia not tell him that I am her boyfriend?“Hello Mr Banks.” I had greeted him nervously.He seemed super confused until I explained it to him. Turns out that Mia didn’t tell him that I’m her boyfriend.Mr Banks involved me in a little conversation but all I could think of was Mia walking down those stairs looking gorgeous as always and when I finally sighted her, I completely forgot how to
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 44
JOSHI still don’t understand why Mia is pissed. I mean there’s nothing to be mad about, right? She loves overreacting.“Why do you look hurt?” Mia had asked.I didn’t know that it was that obvious. I didn’t mean for it to be obvious. I’m not even supposed to be hurt or jealous but I can’t help it.Surprisingly, time flies by very quickly and I find myself dressed up for a dinner date with Mia’s ‘boyfriend.’ Calling him that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and a certain feeling in my chest.I didn’t dress up exquisitely though, I mean, the dinner is happening right in my house, I’m only wearing sporting designer jeans paired with an unassuming button down shirt with two buttons undone, high-end sneakers and.…wait, I’m not supposed to be describing my outfit, you’re free to go wild with your imaginations.I head out of my room and sight Mia heading downstairs, looking strikingly beautiful in her red backless, flowing gown.I scoff, wondering why she dressed up so much for a dinner th

The rays of sunlight hit my face and I force my eyes open. I blink repeatedly and sit up, rubbing my eyes, trying to chase the sleep away.I throw my head back and sigh before getting up from the bed. I put on my slippers before walking into the bathroom.I walk up to the sink and put on the tap, splashing water on my face. I raise my head and stare at the girl in the mirror with puffy eyes.I barely had enough sleep last night because my mind was preoccupied, and the question Josh had thrown at me kept repeating in my mind.I had told him that I have no feelings for Ross but he shook his head in disapproval.Why does he think I’m developing feelings for Ross?I pick up the brush and put toothpaste on it, before quickly brushing my teeth.Once I’m done, I walk out of my room and head downstairs when I hear the sound of something being fried in the kitchen.“Is mom home?” I ask myself and cautiously walk into the kitchen, where I find my mom cooking while humming a song.I smile, stand
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 42
MIAI’m still quite shocked that Ross allowed me to go, even when I was leaving, he didn’t try to stop me, I didn’t even sight him.What changed though? Why did he change from an aggressive maniac to a kind, loving guy? Does he have a personality disorder or something?I walk up to the door of the ‘Bank’s residence’ and take a deep breath before placing a soft knock on the door.How will my mom react when she sees me? How will Mr Banks react? I bet they’re not even home right now. How will Josh react though? Will he shout at me? Will he hug me? Will he be mad at me?I place another knock on the door, louder than the previous one, since no one has shown up.Is the house empty? Is nobody home?I ring the doorbell this time and I hear a low grunt. Who’s home?“Is someone home? It’s me, Mia.” I say in a half yell but all I hear is another faint grunt.I attempt to ring the doorbell again when I finally notice that the door isn’t closed well, it had been slightly open all this time.I pus
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 41
I have been thinking about what my dad said to me and I’m finding it very hard to believe it. What he said makes absolute sense but I don’t want to agree, I don’t want to believe that he’s right, I mean, why would Mia kiss me then? “No one kisses the guy that they’re afraid of.” I remember arguing.“No one kisses the guy that they’re not in love with.” My dad had replied.It’s true though, no one kisses the guy that they’re not in love with. Could she have done that to please me or something?I ruffle my hair in frustration. I would never have put it to mind, my dad just had to mention it and put my mind in disarray ugggh.I undress and walk into the bathroom, turning on the shower and allowing the cold water to drop unto my body, soothing me.I run my hands through my hair, trying my best not to think about the discussion with my dad.“You’re a fool. Do you know that?”“This is another level of stupidity.”My dad’s words ring in my ears and I groan in frustration.I know my actions
