Forbidden Desires Chapter 16: Decision
As the weeks flew by, Bella settled into a comfortable routine that she found surprisingly enjoyable. She dutifully attended her classes, even though they weren't her true passion, but she knew that her parents were monitoring her performance. The structure of her schedule made her feel grounded and purposeful, and she was determined to excel in her studies.In the evenings and on weekends, Bella had two main outlets for her energy and creativity. First, she spent quality time with Lily, who was her confidant and partner in many California adventures. They explored the city, tried out new restaurants, and occasionally attended social gatherings together. Bella was grateful to have Lily as her companion, a friend who had always been by her side, both during her quiet, introverted years and now as she ventured into this new phase of her life. From time to time, she crossed paths with Alex, the handsome stranger from her first party, who continued to ask her out and flirt with her, but e
Forbidden Desires Chapter 17: Confession Time
After the exhausting hours of flying, Bella's heart swelled as she stepped through the familiar front door of her family's grandiose mansion. Lupe, the family's long-time housekeeper and the closest thing to a mother figure she'd ever had, greeted her with a genuine, affectionate smile. Bella had missed Lupe dearly."Lupe, it's so good to see you again," Bella said, embracing the older woman."Oh, mi niña," Lupe replied, hugging Bella tightly. "You've grown so much. We've all missed you."As Bella pulled away from the hug, she asked, "Where are my parents? I thought they'd be around."Lupe's expression soured slightly. "Your father is still at the office. He said he would be home late again tonight. And your mother, well... you know how she is. She's away running some errands or on another shopping spree or spa, as usual."Bella sighed, feeling a mix of disappointment and familiarity. Her parents' perpetual absence was something she had grown used to. In a way, it was what had driven
Forbidden Desires Chapter 18: Rejection
Bella led Reid to one of the empty guest rooms. The door closed with a soft click behind them, and the sudden silence in the room, after they had withdrawn from the noise and chatter of the party, made Bella's heart skip a beat. She turned to face Reid, her heart pounding with nervous anticipation. In the dimly lit room, their eyes locked, and Bella felt a surge of emotions, making her breath catch.Reid, ever cold, composed and enigmatic, looked at her with a curiosity that mirrored her own. For a moment, they stood there in silence, the air between them thick with unspoken words. Bella knew that she couldn't delay any longer, and it was time to share her feelings with him, no matter the outcome.Taking a deep breath, she finally broke the silence. "Reid," she began, her voice trembling ever so slightly, "there's something I need to tell you, something I've been holding back for a long time."Reid's expression remained unreadable, but he nodded for her to continue, urging her to spea
Forbidden Desires Chapter 19: Mending a Broken Heart
Bella's phone rang the next day, the familiar tune of Lily's ringtone filling the room. She glanced at her phone, her swollen eyes feeling heavy. She knew she had to talk to her best friend, but her voice was still raw from all the crying the night before. Bella couldn't find it in herself to answer just yet. She simply let the call go to voicemail, not having the strength to explain her emotions.After a few minutes, her phone pinged with a new message. It was from Lily. Bella picked up her phone to see what her best friend had to say.The message simply read, "Are you okay?" Bella stared at those words for a moment.She wasn't sure how to respond. "Okay" felt like a distant and unattainable concept right now. She finally managed to type out a response, her fingers shaking, "Not okay."Lily replied almost instantly, "I'm on my way." Bella knew her friend would come running to her side, as she always did in times of need. She didn't respond to Lily's message but was grateful for the u
Forbidden Desires Chapter 20: Birthday Party
As the days flew by, Bella's 19th birthday approached faster than she had anticipated. Her birthday fell on the 21st of May, and it felt like the past year had passed in a blur. It was a strange feeling to be on the cusp of adulthood, and she couldn't help but reflect on the whirlwind of experiences that had brought her to this point.Lily, her ever-supportive friend, was the one to remind her of the upcoming milestone. They sat in their shared apartment, sipping on cups of tea, when Lily suddenly perked up, her eyes widening with excitement."Bella," Lily said, her voice filled with enthusiasm, "your birthday is just around the corner! We have to plan something special."Bella blinked, the reminder jolting her from her usual routine of studies and writing. She was almost taken aback by the realization that she had nearly forgotten her own birthday. It seemed like the chaos of life had pushed her special day to the back of her mind."You're right," Bella replied, a faint smile tugging
Forbidden Desires Chapter 21: Birthday Party(2)
Bella's birthday had arrived, and it happened to fall on a Saturday this year, which was perfect for their party plans. As the sun's rays gently filtered into her room, she was roused from her sleep by the sense of someone's presence. When she finally managed to open her eyes, she found Lily standing beside her bed, holding a tray filled with breakfast and a bunch of birthday balloons. Lily was singing "Happy Birthday" loudly and enthusiastically.Bella couldn't help but laugh at her friend's infectious enthusiasm. The balloons bobbed above her head as she set the tray down on the bed."Happy birthday, Bella! I hope you're ready for an amazing day!""Thank you, Lily! You're the best!"They dug into the delicious breakfast and chatted about the plans for the night. Bella was looking forward to the night club party, and with Lily by her side, she knew it was going to be an unforgettable birthday celebration.As Bella lay in her cozy bed, basking in the warm glow of Lily's unexpected bir
Forbidden Desires Chapter 22: Wild Night
The night at Oasis was a whirlwind of lights, music, and cocktails, and Bella was swept up in the intoxicating atmosphere. Lily was unstoppable, ordering round after round of delicious and colorful cocktails, each one more tempting than the last. As the alcohol flowed, Bella's inhibitions melted away, and she lost herself in the sea of people on the dance floor.Hours passed in a blur. Bella danced with a sense of abandon, moving to the rhythm of the music like she had never danced before. The sensation of freedom and escape from her everyday life was exhilarating, and the alcohol blurred the edges of reality, making everything seem surreal.Amid the pulsating beats and flashing lights, one of the guys who had been casting longing glances in Bella's direction finally made his move. He edged closer to her on the crowded dance floor, his hands finding her waist, and he began to dance provocatively, pressing his body against hers.In her alcohol-induced haze, Bella found herself in a dil
Forbidden Desires Chapter 23: His Command
Reid locked the door to the VIP office and turned to face Bella, his expression dark and filled with a simmering anger. He couldn't believe the recklessness he had just witnessed on the dance floor and the danger that she was just in. Bella looked flustered; her cheeks flushed from the alcohol coursing through her veins. She tried to stand her ground, despite the overwhelming intimidation she felt when confronted by Reid's stern gaze.With a hint of irritation in his voice, Reid demanded, "Bella, what the fuck were you doing down there??"Bella swallowed hard, the alcohol making her responses less controlled. She tried to assert her independence, even though she knew she was in the wrong, plus that she was still angry and hurt by his rejection that happened several months ago."Reid, I appreciate your help, but it's not your business to pry into my personal affairs."Reid's anger flared, and he couldn't hold back his frustration. He stepped closer to Bella, his voice laced with irrita

The rhythmic knocking on the washroom door startled Bella from her thoughts. Reid's voice echoed through the door, urging her to hurry up as they were running late for the gala. A sense of urgency permeated the air, and Bella, still seated on the toilet, took a deep breath to compose herself."I'll be out in a minute," she replied, her voice managing to sound casual despite the whirlwind of emotions within her.Bella carefully concealed the positive pregnancy test, sliding it back into its box. She stowed the box away in her cosmetics drawer, a hidden corner where the secret could remain undisturbed. As she washed her hands, she couldn't help stealing a glance at the test hidden among her beauty products.Her heart raced, caught between excitement and trepidation.

Forbidden Desires Epilogue 1
The scent of home was a welcome change for Kade as he stepped through the familiar threshold, his steps accompanied by the soft click-clack of his crutches. Lily, ever the efficient coordinator, had managed to synchronize the return from the hospital with a semblance of normalcy for Kade.In the midst of this orchestrated chaos, the doorbell chimed. Bella, with her young son Asher in tow, entered with a warm smile. Lily greeted them with a tired but genuine smile, a mix of exhaustion and relief etched on her face."How are you holding up, Lily?" Bella inquired, her eyes reflecting genuine concern.Lily, momentarily caught off guard, felt a lump forming in her throat. "Honestly, Bella, I feel like a whale. I'm huge, can't bend properly, and every step feels like a marathon."Bella chuckled, her hand patting Lily's gently. "Oh, sweetheart, it's the hormones talking. You're growing a tiny miracle inside you. And trust me, every discomfort will be forgotten once you hold your little angel
Forbidden Desires Chapter 132: Good News
During the court break, the courthouse corridor echoed with the click-clack of heels as Mrs. Anderson approached Lily with a cold determination. Lily, standing alone on a bench, felt the weight of the impending confrontation. Mrs. Anderson wasted no time in launching her verbal assault."Let me make one thing clear," Mrs. Anderson sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. "You are not fit for my son. A young, pregnant woman managing his affairs? Ludicrous! It's a testament to his weakened state that he entrusted you with anything."Lily, though stung by the words, maintained her composure. Before she could respond, Reid came next to her, his imposing presence a stark contrast to Mrs. Anderson's calculated aggression."Mrs. Anderson, I suggest you choose your words carefully," Reid asserted, his voice steady and unwavering. "Dragging a pregnant woman into court and questioning her suitability is not only distasteful but a clear disregard for Kade's wishes. You should be ashamed."Mrs.

The hospital room echoed with the soft beeping of machines, creating a rhythmic backdrop to the heavy silence that filled the air. Lily sat by Kade's bedside, her gaze fixed on his face, etched with the weariness of battles fought within. The once vibrant man lay before her, a mere whisper of his former self.Her heart ached at the sight, the pain palpable as she watched him sleep. The lines of worry on his forehead were etched deeply, mirroring the turmoil within. Lily, torn between the desire to shield him from more distress and the need to be honest, chose to keep the knowledge of his mother's legal actions hidden for now. She believed Kade's focus should remain on healing, not on the tumult outside the sterile walls of the hospital.Days melded into nights, and Lily became a constant presence by Kade's side. She held his hand, whispering words of encouragement, and reminding him of the love that surrounded him. Each moment spent with him was a silent vow—a promise to weather the s
Forbidden Desires Chapter 130: Hospital
Morning light filtered through the hospital window, casting a subdued glow across the room where Lily sat, clutching Kade's hand. His slumber persisted, a fragile peace settling over the stillness of the hospital room. Bella and Reid walked in, their faces reflecting a mix of concern and support.Lily looked up, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Thanks for coming, you two."Bella embraced Lily gently. "How's he doing?"Lily sighed, her eyes never leaving Kade's sleeping form. "The doctor says he's stable, but he's not waking up. I just want him to open his eyes, you know?"Reid placed a reassuring hand on Lily's shoulder. "He's a fighter, Lily. He'll pull through."As the trio shared a moment of solidarity, the hospital room's door swung open abruptly. Ex-Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by a unknown doctor, barged in with a sense of entitlement that irked Lily. The doctor, seemingly unfamiliar with the situation, glanced nervously between the two women.His mother's voice dripped with cond

Lily sat on the couch, her discomfort evident, while Kade stood by the fireplace, ready to lay the groundwork for the legal proceedings.The senior lawyer, a man with a stern demeanor and a meticulous approach, cleared his throat. "Mr. Wilson, before we proceed, may I suggest we discuss some matters in private?"Kade, unwavering in his decision, looked at Lily and then back at the lawyer. "Whatever you need to say, you can say it in front of my wife."The lawyer hesitated, exchanging a glance with his junior colleague. "Mr. Wilson, it's not wise to give full control to your spouse for your entire estate and businesses. It could complicate matters in the future, especially when you have just got married."Kade's jaw tightened, his tone resolute. "I understand your concern, but I want this to

Their reunion sparked a renewed energy, a commitment to rebuilding their lives together.Kade, determined to solidify their future, wasted no time expressing his desire to marry Lily at the earliest possible. The words hung in the air, and Lily, a mix of surprise and joy on her face, couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'the earliest possible,' Kade?"A mischievous glint flickered in Kade's eyes as he responded, "Well, you have precisely three weeks to find the perfect dress."Lily's eyes widened in playful disbelief. "Three weeks? Kade, are you serious?"Kade chuckled, his gaze sincere. "Absolutely serious, Lily. We've wasted enough time apart. It's time to make things official."Lily, swept up in the whirlwind romance, couldn't suppress a smile. "You do realize that planning a wedd
