2024-10-29 19:42:56When it was time to go home, I had no other choice but to ride in his car. We sent Maris first to her place before dropping me at mine. Our ride was smooth because he never bothered me with anything. I wanted to ask about his penthouse in Chicago but I opted not to because I didn't want to start a topic. It could only lead us to more talks that will surely add to my tension.
When we arrived in front of my apartment, I thanked him for driving us home safely. I bid goodbye and didn't even spare a look at his eyes. I could say I was rude but I don't have the courage, because if I do, I'm afraid I could melt by the way he looks at me.
"No problem," he breathed out "You should rest early, I know you're tired," the care could be felt. Right away, I went out of his car before my traitor self betrays me. Sometimes, I felt guilty for prolonging our agony but I needed to stand firm with my decision. I could definitely say that what I'm doing is the best for both of

I didn't know how would I feel knowing that the project will be constructed by Marco's company. That's the project he mentioned before that will start soon. I felt I was fooled having no idea at all. "What is he trying to do?" I believed he and Chadrick conspired to keep it confidential until the presentation. I wanted to shout and smash all the documents on my table out of irritation. I needed to talk to him and burst all my exasperation because I felt like he deceived me and it's not fun. I reached for my phone and sent him a message "Need to talk to you," was the content. "Alright, I'll fetch you," he replied quickly and I could tell that he's aware as to why. I slouched on my chair and covered my face with my palm before I sighed. I couldn't believe that I will be working with Matthews's Group on my first big project. The hell! After my office hours, I rushed downstairs because I'm certain that Marco's already waiting for me. It was pr
Forbidden Lover Presentation, pride, and defense mechanism
Two days passed and he never sent even a piece of message for me. I could definitely say that I'm not used to it. I clearly understood that he was upset because of our spiteful conversation the last time but still, I'm concerned about him. I was hoping he applied some cure to his bleeding knuckles. I guess I did overreact on accepting the fact that they will be our partner in the project and I felt guilty about it. On the day of our presentation, I opted to wear a suit and partnered it with high heels. For me, it was important to look good in front of everyone to boost my confidence. "Or to look good in front of him?" My mind taunted me! Silly! "Architect, the presentation will start in ten minutes," Sarah reminded me because we shouldn't be late. I sat up immediately from my chair and motioned for her to follow me out. I requested her to handle all the hard documents and I entrusted the distribution of them to all the members included in the meeting. When I
Forbidden Lover Have you seen the the business news?
After I finished my thing in the bathroom, I went back to my bed to check the article. When I read her message I thought it was the news about the Williams's and Matthews's successfully closed deal. But when I opened and read the contents, my world went upside down. "Heir to one of the top companies in Construction Industry got involved in a car accident," was the headline. "Marco Matthews the heir to Matthews Construction Company got involved in a car accident. The tragic incident happened in the downtown district of Chicago after midnight. Matthews recently closed a successful deal with the Williams group for a new luxury hotel project. According to police, the victim was found alone in the car when the crash happened. There are reports that he was drunk driving on the streets of downtown. The scene was near the intersection of Street Weisber when he avoided a child crossing the street which made him crashed on
Forbidden Lover The Pearl Luxury Hotel
After I read the message from Bella, I felt a heave of relief knowing that he's out of danger. I called her right away and requested her to accompany me to his penthouse. I had no idea as to where it is because I've never been there since he bought the place. "How could you visit his place if both of you were not on good terms before his accident?" my stupid mind taunted me.As soon as we stepped inside his penthouse building, a male attendant in the reception area greeted us. He asked about the purpose of our visit and Bella was the one who gave the details to him, however, "May you please check again?" she requested for the third time."Yes Maam, I'm so sure," he spoke in a gentle manner. "We are strictly instructed that no one could visit him except his private nurse and his therapist," he sounded firm like it was really written on the instructions. "How about Marissa Matthews?" she kept on asking the attendant but his only answer was the same.As per t
Forbidden Lover I hope you're fine
I made it a habit to check my device before going to sleep because I was hoping to see if there are messages from him or any posts on his account. Since he started his account when we were at the university, he only posted ten photos in total and never added new ones. But then I saw him online and my heart hammered fast to send him a message. "Hi, how are you? I hope you're fine," I wrote. I told myself not to disturb him again but it's hard to do so when you're longing for even a single chance of talk from him. I wanted to apologize but I know that my heart was hoping for more than that. I kept on waiting for few minutes for him to see it and when I noticed that a notification appeared as seen, I got nervous that he read it. To my dismay, he did not reply and I felt horrible because of the sting in my heart. It's been a year but he did not send even a single word for me. I recalled that the last time we had seen each other, it was awful because we argue but I
Forbidden Lover It feels good to give back
My heart palpitated erratically like a horse in a race because it was Marco. I slowly turned to face him and I couldn't believe he was talking to me. I stilled and not able to know what to do because my stomach was churning desperately. "Thanks," the only word I uttered. I felt my fingers were trembling and my nerves shaking like I was cold. He was looking at me with a serious face and no emotion could be felt from him. I believe he was changed a lot and I didn't know what to say. Though a lot of people were passing on the hallway five steps from his back, I couldn't care about them because I felt like my chest was going to explode. "I'm g...glad you're fine," I stammered. I wanted to run and hug him but I couldn't because I don't have a reason. I stayed still in my place and I noticed him staring at my neck. I realized that he recognized the necklace he gifted me. I forgot to remove it because I was out of my mind. I thought he will say s
Forbidden Lover Why are you so fond of running away?
I wanted to send a thank you message to him but I felt hesitant. I promised myself not to disturb him anymore because he already moved on with his life. Instead, I posted a picture of me together with the children laughing on my account."Thank you so much to all the people who supported our Children's home. May God bless you tenfold for all your wonderful deeds," was my caption and I added three heart emojis.Not long after I shared my photo, my friends reacted to it and wished me a happy birthday. I thanked them in return and I felt delighted for their support. To my surprise, Marco reacted to it too. He even posted a birthday cake emoji on the comment section which I replied with a simple thanks. I accepted the fact that I could not do anything to avoid him because we have common friends. With my stay in West Virginia, I spent most of my time at the children's home. John assured me that if I stay and look for work in the urban area, he will help me. An
Forbidden Lover Will you please listen to me?
I stilled because I couldn't believe that he's in front of my apartment door. I really had no idea as to why he came in the middle of the night. When I was back to my stance, I flickered my eyes a few times to make sure he's real in front of me. I never said a word because I didn't know what to say either. "Can I come in?" he sounded stern and I nodded before I let him. When he was inside, he sighted that it was quite messy because my pieces of stuff are out for packing. He creased his brows "You should rest but you're tiring yourself," the worry was evident in his tone but I chose to ignore his question. "Why are you here, Marco?" I was curious to really know. "I want us to talk," he inhaled deeply. I really had no idea what he wants us to talk about. I was thinking that maybe our closure because we never talked about it seriously before his accident. "Marco, sorry about how we parted ways before," I started with an apology. "I just want to say thank you for

When I heard from Chadrick that she sent a resignation letter, I knew she was planning to leave Chicago. She wanted to distance herself from me and I didn't want it to happen. I was aware that she's hurting because she thought that I had moved on from us. It was my idea that Alle invited her for a post-birthday celebration in her house. I wanted to see her and for us to talk and get back together. I panicked when she suddenly collapsed on the floor and I thought she was severely sick. Thankfully, Sandy was there at that time to help and we carried her to the nearest hospital. When the doctor said that it was only fatigue, that was the time I leaped out a breath of relief. I was out for a moment to get her some stuff because I wanted her to spend the night at the hospital. I wanted her to rest and make sure that everything was alright.

I recalled the previous night that she cooked something special for me. But I had a feeling that something's off because she seemed worn.

Forbidden Lover Life is a matter of choice
Since the day we found out that we are pregnant, Marco never missed reminding me to be extra careful in everything that I do. He wanted me to stop working at the firm but I defied him because I can still do my job. I insisted that I'm not sick or crippled and I don't want to spend my days at home doing nothing. I could say that for the past few months of my pregnancy, my relationship with Marco's family has gotten better. Sometimes, his mother would tell him things that would help me in my pregnancy. She kept on sending a basket of fruits and presents almost every week which I believed was a form of message for our reconciliation. Though she didn't personally say sorry for what happened before, I realized that at that time, she's only a mother who wanted the best for his son. She isn't perfect, yes, and either of us, so it's natural to make a mistake. But sometimes our actions have consequences that only time could heal. "Baby, look at this article in the bus
Forbidden Lover The damage has been done
"Mom, don't expect her to attend your birthday after what happened in the past," he spoke seriously "And never expect her to attend any events in the future," he paused for a second "It isn't her piece of cake," and added. "Oh, I see. Is she not helping you in the company?" she questioned in a gentle manner. "No. She doesn't want anything to do with our company,' he took a deep breath "Someone offered a job from a top Architectural and Design firm and I believe she will accept it," he shared the news. "Is that alright with you?" she sounded calm. "Yes, she has other plans," his serious tone never changed. "Son, I'm sorry about what happened in the past," the next thing she said and I did not anticipate an apology from her. "The damage has been done and you should leave her alone," he responded with firmness in his voice. "Alright, I know she still resents me and I understand," she breathed out "I'm just so happy that you're here today," she delivered carefull
Forbidden Lover Our home misses you
"United Airlines would like to welcome you to New York," the cabin crew announced as soon as we landed at the runway of NY airport. Days before, I suggested to Marco that we should only take a commercial flight back to New York, and thankfully, he did not attempt to resist me. I was looking outside of the window and I felt so happy to be back. I never imagined going back with him after running away a few years ago. I thought we will never see each other anymore but fate has other plans for us. "Are you alright?" he held my hand and I nodded instantly. When we reached the exit door of the terminal, his secretary welcomed us. He waited to fetch and send us home. Marco introduced him to me as Jordan and when we were in the car, they talked about anything connected with the business while I got busy chatting on my phone with Yvonne. As soon as we stepped inside his penthouse, all the memories from the past came flashing back to my mind. The happy, sad, and
Forbidden Lover It was you that I dreamed of
His lips parted and his eyes widened after hearing the words. I could say that he did not anticipate me to say such. Before, my dream was to design a building and see it being built, but the moment he stepped into my life, I dreamed of him more than that. At first, I may be in denial but deep inside my heart, I know it was him that I dreamed of.I was consumed by pride and guilt when I left him a few years ago, but I know that everything I did was for him and about him. Though we suffered a lot because of my decision, still, I felt lucky that I've come to realize my mistakes and we are able to get back together.Marco crashed his lips into mine and I kissed him back without hesitations. I loved his way of attacking my small cavern which I moaned in pleasure when he thrust his tongue against mine. I could only close my eyes to savor the enchanted feeling he was giving me. My fingers played with his hair while his hands roamed around my body. We were under a spell as we

I pulled him towards my room for us to rest because it was already dawn. We lost track of time because of our heavy confrontation. I did not care if I looked like shit of crying as long as we are happy being back together."I look like a mess," I blurted shyly. "A beautiful mess," he picked few strands of my hair and pinned them into my ears. I couldn't believe that we are back together and it felt like a dream.Before we could hop into my bed, he made sure for me to drink the medicines that were prescribed by the doctor. We kept on hugging and caressing each other and it was very evident that we really missed being close together. "Thank you, Faith," he whispered and leaned to kiss me again. I really missed his touch. I hugged him tightly while he sniffed on my hair and it felt so good against his body."I thought you've moved on and you don't love me anymore," I breathed out. He quickly held my chin for me to look him in the eye "What made you say
