Jade’s POV

I thought the night would never end, but then I was wrong. I woke up to the noises and the laughter of the maidens who were on morning shifts.

I stretched lazily in bed for some minutes, feeling the foggy blur of sleep still in my eyes. I longed to go back to the night of sleep; it was a peaceful escape from the life I was living.

Jackson was the ruler of my life, and for some reason, it didn't feel great. Weeks ago, if you had asked me if I was grateful to be his mistress, I would have smiled widely and been thankful for the second chance he gave me.

Now the thought of tasting freedom still gnawed in my mind, but I would listen to Layla and not let curiosity get the best of me. This place was my hell, and whether I liked it or not, I'll always be locked up in this place.

For now, I just needed to remain loyal to him and make sure he didn't notice my mood. But it is hard to put up a facade when you are slowly falling in love with someone wrong for you.

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 39

    Julia’s POVI'm the only one for him; Jackson is mine. He’s always been mine from the start, before this b*tch arrived. I stood in front of the full-sized mirror, my reflection staring back at the mess I had become.I swallowed hard, trying to keep calm, but the tears began to trickle freely like a dam that just broke. It's true, Jade had gotten to me; she had stepped on my feet, and now I couldn't take it anymoure.Things were so much better before she arrived, even though Jackson never liked any other woman that was better than seeing him with her. It seemed like she cast a spell on him because he began to love her blindly, making her feel important and special, just the way he did to me a few years ago. But he was still mine. I can feel it within me.My eyes darted across the dark room. Only a little ray of sunlight made the room a little brighter. Not bright enough to quench the bitterness that clings to my soul.I let out a very raspy breath as I tried to gather my thoughts.Jac

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 40

    Jade’s POV“You look like a queen, and we are honoured to have you as our own.” One of the maidens said as they worked on my hair. I sat in front of the mirror, watching as their hands moved quickly and carefully, but the tension in the room was noticeable. They only complimented me twice with a straight face; I could feel the jealousy emitting from them like heat.They wished they could be treated like a queen, but then I was only lucky to be noticed and loved by Jackson. He was the one who arranged this. I couldn't believe he asked them to make sure I looked perfect for what he planned tonight.I tried to ask them what it was about, but they said it was a surprise, and my only job was to look beautiful for the occasion. I could feel the butterflies around my chest. Jackson had always had a way of making me feel special. Even when I doubted he was the man he claimed to be, he still changed my mind and gave me more reasons to love him.Still, I didn't like the way the maidens gnawe

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 41

    Jackson’s POVI sat alone in the garden watching as the evening sun cast a shimmer of light across the rippling surface of the pool. The cold iron of the chair pressed uncomfortably against my back, a constant, jarring reminder of the tension that filled the air. My fingers drummed anxiously against the crisp paper folded neatly in my pocket, the rhythmic tapping a futile attempt to calm the storm of nerves swirling within me.It was an envelope containing tickets to the enchanting city of Paris, a gateway to vibrant streets, stunning architecture, and a rich tapestry of culture waiting to be explored. The corner of the paper pricked against my inner thigh like a secret begging to be exposed. I can hardly contain my excitement at the thought of her expression when she steps out and I share this incredible news with her. We had planned to spend seven magical days together, lost in laughter as we strolled hand in hand beneath the iconic silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, its grandeur sh

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 42

    Jade’s POVI felt it again. The pain is dull but consistent, like a subtle drumbeat in my skull. I hugged Jackson even more, inhaling the masculine cologne that smells like sandalwood and sat, like the man he is.He tightened his arms around me, providing a comforting embrace as the doctor carefully injected a syringe filled with a local anaesthetic into my veins. I could feel the cool sensation of the medication coursing through my bloodstream, numbing the sharp pain that radiated from the areas where I had fallen. The fluorescent lights above flickered slightly, casting a sterile glow over the room, while the antiseptic smell hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of the situation. The doctor’s focused expression and steady hands reassured me even as I gripped Jackson tighter, trying to find consolation amidst the discomfort.“I'm done here, sir! She’s going to be alright soon!” the doctor announced, a spark of confidence in his eyes as he swiftly packed up his tools, ready to c

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 43

    Jackson’s POVWho could be looking at me at this time of the night? This was a rhetorical question that surely needed an answer. I glanced at my watch again; it was barely 10 pm. Whoever was here seeking my presence surely didn't know that it was time for bedtime. As I walked down the stairs, so many questions filled my head, and Jade crossed my mind too. I cannot imagine why anyone would try to hurt her again. I honestly thought I had commanded no one to ever lay a hand on her. Or maybe the maiden was right, and it was an accident.We all make mistakes, so I won't act like I am innocent. The house was so quiet, too quiet, that only the chirping of birds outside was heard loud and clear, like they were inside the room.This silence didn't make things any better; it only worsened my curiosity and anxiety. Then I saw her, the very woman who seemed to be in my presence late at night.Lexi.She looked different today; her hair cascaded down her shoulders, and as she leaned her back in t

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 44

    Jade’s POVDamn it!I muttered under my breath. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a day would arrive when I would find myself seated side by side with my fiercest adversary, a person who has long been the embodiment of enmity in my life. The very thought of it feels surreal, as if fate itself has conspired to bring together two souls that were destined to clash.I watched as she ran her fingers over the rim of the ceramic teacup, the tea she had specially made for me to help my wounds heal faster.I had requested that they turn off the fluorescent light so only the flame from the candle flickered against the wall, casting a huge shadow over my room.It was unusually cold tonight, and the candle lights made it warm. Why was she acting so nice and kind all of a sudden? Could she be up to something? Whatever she was up to, I knew it couldn't be any good.I watched her carefully as she crossed her arms across her chest with that stern look on her face, the glaring look she always

    Jackson’s POVI hope I was making the right decision. I said as I adjusted the cuffs of my shirt slowly taking one last glimpse at my reflection in the mirror. I looked exquisite and handsome, like a young rich billionaire dressing up for a dinner date. My dark eyes shimmered in the dark and my hair was gelled backward, there was a smirk at the edge of my lips. I had no idea why I was smiling, but I knew I looked too good.My suit was well smoothened and crisp, and my wristwatch screamed of luxury. The handsome man staring at me made me even more confident. I looked good; it was no news.Maybe too good, like I was trying to impress someone who wasn't Jade, a business partner who I barely knew, a spoiled, rich, classy girl who was opportunistic enough to get her hands on money and was smart about how to manage it.She wasn't the usual rich girl; she was a sensible one. But tonight I'm not going to think about that. I was going to be positive, and this meeting was only going to be abou

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 46

    Jackson’s POVWas Jade okay?That was the only thing I could think of at the moment, and then my mind wandered off to Lexi walking out on me like a spoilt little brat; I should have known this was how she was.She always seemed to control people, and whoever didn't bend, she would always find a way to fight with them. I needed to leave now and get to someone who cared for me, that is, Jade, when I felt a strong grip on my wrist.I turn to see Lexi, her gaze softer now.” Jackson, are you leaving already?” She asked, her tone much softer now, almost hesitant to let me go. I was taken aback when she reappeared, my perception of her shattering like glass. I had always seen her as a haughty, affluent girl, seemingly indifferent to the feelings of those around her. Her presence was commanding, as if she possessed an invisible crown, striding into every room with an air of undeniable ownership.I swallowed hard, the intensity of her gaze pinning me in place, leaving me both captivated and b

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 63

    Lorenzo’s POVWhat was she doing here? For the first time in years of knowing Eloise but seeing her standing close to Jackson with a smile creeping behind her lips, I knew she was up to something sketchy and she was hiding something from me.I never doubted Eloise. Even when she gave me so many reasons to. Ever since I laid my eyes on her, she had always been speaking about Eduardo; then when Jackson became Don, he became her new topic.Saying she needed information on him so she could be free. I wanted her to be free, and we both desired the same outcome: the downfall of Jackson. But could she be lying? Was this all just a facade to make me believe that her obsession with Jackson was based on what she wanted from me, or was this truly the intent of the desires that were buried deep in her heart?So many times I’ve caught her lurking around, watching and saying more than she needed to the other maidens. But I kept quiet because she played her games by herself, and I didn't want to se

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 62

    Jade’s POVI was awake, but my eyes were shut. I had managed to make myself numb and asleep, but then the pain was so much to bear. It was dull, but it ached all over my arms and legs. I was feeling so weak; my head felt like lead, and it was as though I was carrying a lot of baggage in it. It also pounded so hard, making my throat dry and sore.I blinked twice, my vision almost blurry, hard for me to see a thing, just the same dimly lit too, but something was weird. I wasn't sitting; I was lying on something soft. It felt like I was on a hospital bed or a slab used to butcher meat. Were they trying to murder me and send my remains to the Godfather?Is it a crime that I followed every command he gave me? But no matter what happened, I wouldn't stop fighting and trying to be free. The last thing I remembered was the piercing and burning pain I felt when Lexi injected me with that vial. The pain I felt was unexplainable; she was right when she said it felt like being in hell. It was

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 61

    Jackson’s POVEvery morning is a fresh beginning, a new start for something good, or so I thought. But the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the sound of my duvet shifting off my body slowly, almost like an invisible force was in my room.I blinked twice as the morning light penetrated through the curtains into my eyes. My body was still sluggish from sleep, and my vision was blurry, yet I was aware of a presence in my room.It was that of a female from the soft footsteps, feminine scent and the sound of the vacuum cleaner. I knew I was being watched too.That was strange. I rubbed my eyes with my hands and turned my head to see a strange woman—a maiden, dressed in a white garment, the one the maidens wore.But hers was too revealing, like she had purposefully made it short. It also showed a great deal of cleavage. I watched her carefully as she pretended to focus on the cleaning. No, her attention was locked on me; no, it wasn’t me; it was my hard-on beneath the duvet.

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 60

    Lorenzo’s POVFuck me, daddy!Eloise had said the night before, as she rode me slowly, her hips moving, she was so damn wet and delicious down there I could stay there all day.Suddenly, I opened my eyes. My chest was heavy, and I looked underneath to see Eloise lying on top of me. She was the sweetest girl I've ever been with. For a moment I saw myself changing and trying to be a better person because of her. Yet I compromise and do things to please her. I guess that's what people in love do.I want her to be in my arms forever. I wanted to savour every second of these moments, but then I realised she was still a maiden, a slave to Jackson, and this moment wouldn't last.I sat upright, wiping the beads of sweat on my forehead with the back of my hand, and then I turned my head to see her still lying there, looking like a damsel in distress. I had pounded the living daylights out of her last night, which led to her exhaustion. Her hair spread across the pillow, her lips parted sligh

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 59

    Jackson’s POVNow that Lexi is gone, I can think clearly. I stood on the balcony, watching the trees sway left and right in the rough wind, but I couldn't find peace knowing that Jade was gone.I had failed her once again; I knew that. Being with me had caused her nothing but pain and torment to her soul. From one attack to the other just because she loved me.I paced around the dimly lit house, my heart heavy with worry. I wondered how she was doing out there alone all by herself with no one to protect her from the evils of the night.Was she even alive by now? I had no information and hadn’t heard the news about her. For all I know, whoever was trying to get to me got to her instead.She had been taken by someone who wanted to hurt me. The trails I tried to follow all led to dead ends, and it was eating me alive. Whoever did this wanted me to suffer, and it was working.Scar coughed out loud to get my attention. I turn to see him leaning against a rusted table, his arms crossed over

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 58

    Lorenzo’s POVI watched from the window below Lexi walking towards her black Lexus. She looked nervous and hurt. What was she doing here by this time of the night, it was almost midnight. What Exactly did she do here to do, I knew she loved Jackson but then I couldn't risk her blowing our cover. No, she knew better than to do that.She wouldn’t dare. She despised Jade intensely and would do anything to remove any obstacle preventing her from having Jackson all to herself.Still, I didn't trust her at all. I couldn't predict her sometimes, she is a rich spoilt brat who was only after things that benefitted her. A slow smile played on my lips as I saw her driving away. She didn't look like she came here to betray me; she might just be trying to insert herself since Jade was nowhere to be found. She had her motives and knew better than to expose me; she understood so much was at stake. That was why I ensured she acted like the boss. I had spent so many years planning this kidnapping o

  • FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son   Chapter 57

    Lexi’s POVI swallow hard as I stare at the empty syringe in between my fingers and then at Jade's limp body. She must be in so much pain.Her head slumped forward, and her brown hair fell over her face, her breathing almost unheard. No, she wasn't dead, at least not yet, but sooner or later I will surely make her disappear.“You know, you didn't have to put yourself through this just to defend a man who doesn't care about you, sweetheart,” I muttered under my breath, tucking a strand of hair from her pale face. “If you can hear me, next time just cooperate.” The basement was as dim as always, casting bizarre shadows across the damp walls. I shouldn't be in there. I should be having dinner in my mansion, drinking a glass of tequila, and eating roasted chicken. I should be with the love of my life, Jackson. But here I am, in this smelly room that reeks of blood and urine. I know I need to make this sacrifice for Jackson. After all, I’ve done worse things in the past. Two of my men,

    Jade’s POV“Let me go!” I managed to say it, but the words barely escaped my lips. I didn't know how long I had been down here, but it seemed like decades.My cheek still throbbed with a fiery sting, a painful reminder of the punch I had received from those rascals. My nose was probably broken by now.They kept asking me to tell them things about Jackson, but I knew nothing. Even if I knew anything, I wouldn't betray Jackson; he has done nothing but be good to me.I ignored the gnawing hunger in my stomach; all I could think of was a way to escape this place. My wrists ached from the tightness of the drops and the way they dug into my delicate skin.And my head pounded from whatever they had used to knock me out earlier at the ballroom. The damp basement smelled of decay and rust, it was pitch black now, and the only light came from the tiny opening of the door. Shadows danced along the walls, indicating that I wasn't alone. These men weren't finished with me. This strange woman, who

    Jackson’s POVJade was missing; they had taken her, and it was too late for me—I couldn’t save her. I had spent almost an hour searching every nook and cranny of the room, but there was no sight of her.I decided to step out of the ballroom, thinking that whoever took her must have transported her to another location for reasons only known to them.But the moment I walked out, I knew something was wrong. It was unusually quiet, and I could still hear the faint music from inside the ballroom, accompanied by rich laughter echoing off the walls. But none of it mattered to me. I needed to find Jade, and I won't rest until I do. Since Jade disappeared, it felt like a piece of me had left too. She was my better half, and now I know that I was foolish to let her out of my sight, especially after losing her. As I passed a certain route, people tried to stop me, shake hands with me.And I exchanged fake pleasantries pretending like they cared about anything that happened in my life when I wa
