But Bella had shattered his carefully constructed façade, exposing a part of him he had tried to forget.The devil inside him whispered tempting thoughts in the dead of the night, urging him to reach out to her.

He needed to escape, to put distance between himself and the source of his turmoil. With a clenched jaw, he flung open the door of his car and slid inside as he directed the driver to take him to the private airstrip.The ride was a blur as Reid's mind raced. The betrayal he had just experienced cut deep, and he couldn't shake the feeling of having been deceived.

Tears flowed down her cheeks unchecked, her hands trembling as she clutched the edges of the table.The scenarios she had played out in her mind before meeting Reid had never prepared her for this level of rejection. His words, laced with anger and disdain, cut through her like a knife. The ruthless and brutal way he dismissed her left her shivering, a sense of shock and disbelief wrapping around her like a suffocating cloak.At that moment, the man she thought she knew, the man who had once held her in the tender embrace of passion, seemed like a stranger. The threats he launched before storming out lingered in the air, leaving her scared and shaken to the core. She never anticipated that Reid, the one she had let into the most intimate corners of her heart, would treat her with such cruelty.Her heart bled as she s

The room seemed to freeze, the air thickening with unspoken judgment."Pregnant?" her mother exclaimed, her voice a mix of shock and fury. "Bella, this is unacceptable! Do you realize what you've done?!"Her father, sitting stoically, suddenly rose from his chair, his face turning an alarming shade of red. "How could you be so foolish?" he thundered. "Do you have any idea what this means for our family?"Bella, caught in the storm of their rage, struggled to maintain her composure. "I didn't plan for this, but I won't hide the truth. I need your support," she plead
Forbidden Desires Chapter 37: Escape
The revelation of her parents' nefarious plan left Bella in a state of shock. The sanctuary of her childhood home had been transformed into a breeding ground for deception and betrayal. As she stood in the shadows, absorbing the magnitude of their sinister plot, a profound realization struck her – the ties that bound a family had frayed beyond repair.The muffled voices of her parents, discussing her fate as if she were an inconvenience to be dealt with, reverberated in her mind.

Forbidden Desires Chapter 39: New Reality
After more than two days of relentless travel and hiding, Bella found herself in Dallas, Texas. The decision to choose Texas was a strategic one—geographically distant from her family and based on the availability of departing buses. The journey had left her feeling dirty, smelly, hungry, and emotionally drained. When the bus finally pulled into Dallas, the midday sun beat down on her, signalling a reprieve from the confines of her seat.Dragging her backpack behind her, Bella made her way to a nearby cheap diner. The sign flickered, and the scent of greasy food wafted through the air. The bell above the door jingled as she entered, drawing the attention of the few patrons scattered across the worn-out booths.Seated at a corner table, Bella ordered a simple meal—soup and a cheese sandwich.
