FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 39
MIARoss pulls me closer, deepening the kiss. He pushes his tongue into my mouth, exploring it and I reciprocate.Why am I kissing him? Why am I not breaking the kiss? Am I not cheating on Josh? Ross has hurt me, yet here I am. But he’s sorry, he apologised for what he did, didn’t he?How do I know that he’s telling the truth? How do I know that it’s not part of his plan?He eventually breaks the kiss and stares at me intently, with an emotion I can’t fathom on his face.“Do you agree?” I nod and he pulls me in for a hug.I’m a fool right? I claim to love Josh but I’m agreeing to be Ross’ girlfriend for a week, and I even kissed him.But doesn’t he deserve a chance, a chance to prove that he’s a changed person? He has a conscience and he’s sorry for what he did so why shouldn’t I forgive him. Plus, my mom believes that he’s my boyfriend so why not keep up with the act for a little while.We hear a phone buzzing and Ross breaks the hug. He brings out the phone from his pocket and I reco

ROSSI walk out of the room in a bid to clear my head. What changed? Why did I suddenly decide not to scare her any longer? Why did my heart soften on seeing her that way? What was awaken in me?I inhale deeply, climbing down the steps when my phone rings in my pocket.I bring the phone out and I’m quite taken aback to notice that the caller is my dad.He never calls unless it important, what could be so important? I pick up the phone and I’m greeted by his harsh tone.“I need to see you. I’m giving you only five minutes to arrive at my office.” He hangs up the call and I furrow my brows.He seems mad, what could he be so mad about?I head outside the house and I’m greeted by my bodyguards.“Tell Madeline to take care of Mia till I get back.” I instruct one of them and he nods in understanding.I walk up to my car and instruct the driver to hand me the keys. Once he does so, I get in the car and zoom off.I arrive at my dad’s firm with a minute and half to spare. I enter the building

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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
