The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire Chapter 49
Vanessa's POVWhat's wrong with today?All day, I felt fine about meeting Silvi and telling her things, but in the afternoon, how could I be so unlucky to meet Catherine and Jaxon at the same time?I took a deep breath, standing in front of the door to the room where Mom had gathered earlier for a while, only opening it when I felt calmer. I walked inside and looked at the room. I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I looked again, it differed from the other rooms.It seemed more exclusive and closed but looked more elegant than the other meeting rooms. Even the staff on guard also wore different clothes from the staff outside.Even though it is only for tea once a month, the place is equipped with various servants there. Even the access was reserved for that gathering only, as there was never a list of the rooms in the hall rented out by the hotel. Maria was truly amazing."You're back?" Maria turned to me when I arrived.I smiled at her, then pulled out the chair and sat back dow

Vanessa's POV"Do you have anything that looks plain but elegant?" Maria walked through the store's corners, looking for something she wanted.A few shop assistants followed her to help. A few times, I heard them talking about some of the top brands, discussing their latest releases and whether they fit.I just listened on the side. I didn't know about the latest trends these days. I don't follow them, so I don't know what each brand's fashion model or collection looks like. It feels like following every brand launch is a bit overwhelming for me. In one year, there are four seasons, and in each season, famous brands compete to release their collections to the market.From those that only release them as limited exclusive items to items sold in each store with a relatively limited number. But still, branded items are only produced in one period, so even in large quantities, the edition is still limited. If the item runs out this season, those who didn't manage to get it still won't get

Vanessa's povI stared in surprise as I turned around and saw Andreas enter the store. He was casually walking towards us, with his lips smiling at me. Andreas stopped right by us.I glanced over and saw Maria staring at Andreas in confusion, her brow furrowed and wondering. "What are you doing here, Andreas?" Maria must have questioned his whereabouts.I turned my gaze in the other direction. Andreas was making it awkward for me to stand there. I scratched my forehead as Andreas' eyes flicked to me and lowered my gaze to avoid exchanging glances with him.I briefly felt Andreas' gaze on me, and then he turned away with a smile, looking at Maria. "I happened to be around, so I dropped by to join you." He turned his gaze towards me. I was instantly stunned that Maria had noticed me because of his gaze. "I asked Vanessa, and she told me."Damn, Andreas!He is a madman! How can he say that I told him? I didn't tell him our location because I didn't want him to come. But what did he do?
The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire Chapter 52
Vanessa's POVI was surprised to hear what Andreas said. He was being too bold with Maria, who was his mother. In front of strangers, he asserted himself without hesitation to his mother. Without thinking about what other people would think of his mother.Andreas' face looked cold. He turned his gaze in another direction in annoyance. Seeing her distressed like that makes me feel bad for her. But I can't do anything to interfere either.The mature woman who had greeted Maria first smiled and chuckled. From what I could see, she was trying to break the ice. But I didn't know if it would work or not because her uninvited presence caused this awkward situation.I started to question her manners from the moment she seated herself and her daughter when none of us offered or gave permission for her to sit and join us.The woman didn't even ask us. It was as if she hadn't considered that her sudden presence at our dinner time might disturb her.The woman watched Atlas' face. "Of course, he k

Vanessa's POV."Shall we continue to go see the movie, Vanessa?" Maria wrapped her arm around me like before after we finished dinner together. I turned to my side and saw her smiling happily. His attitude toward me was very different compared to Andreas before. "What movie are we going to see? What genre of movie do you like, Vanessa?"I know Maria doesn't discriminate between me and Andreas. She loves her son as much as Andreas, who is still often spoiled by his mother. However, they also had their inevitable serious conversations, and when that happened, they would fight for what they thought was right."I like comedy and romance," I told her.Maria looked at me with excitement. "Romcom then? Romantic comedy. That's good, too. Do they have that type of movie coming out?" she was excited to continue the date to the end even though she had just pissed Andreas off."I want to go home." Suddenly, Andreas spoke up, and it was a remark that instantly killed the atmosphere.Maria glared
The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire Chapter 54
Andreas' POVI pushed my chair around and leaned my head on it, my eyes staring at the workspace with a gloomy look. Everything looked ominous in my eyes at the moment. Even the charm of the sky that seemed to refresh my eyes never attracted me.My mind was still dwelling on what happened yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about what Vanessa had said. Did she not feel anything when Mom set me up? Was she really okay? Didn't she believe she was upset or upset that she couldn't acknowledge the relationship?It didn't make sense for me to say such a thing just because she felt pressured. Why can't she even trust me? "I promised to keep my mouth shut, but she's not refusing to believe my words. Vanessa shouldn't be so doubtful of me." I sighed wearily.If our positions were swapped, I wouldn't be able to remain in a reasonable state of mind seeing the person I was in a relationship with being set up with someone else right in front of me. But maybe Vanessa didn't have that much feeling f

Andreas' POV"Let me take you back to your office, Andreas." Jeremy glanced at me as we walked out of the restaurant.I glanced at my phone and checked for any incoming messages Vanessa might have sent me, but it was my secretary's message telling me my pickup had arrived. So, I gave Jeremy a small shake. "No need. I asked the driver to pick me up."Jeremy gave me a confused glance. "I passed by your office. You don't need to ask for a pickup." He silently watched my face. "Ah, where do you want to go?" The thing I like about him is that he is alert and quick to respond.I took a breath. "Doing what you said earlier. I can't put it off any longer, can I?" we passed through the restaurant's main exit and headed to its courtyard, where two cars were parked, waiting and ready to leave.Jeremy covered his laughing mouth. "So you liked her so much that you acted fast. Are you that scared of losing her?"That's right!I was so afraid of losing him. I liked him so much and was so in love wit
The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire Chapter 56
Andreas' POVI stare at myself wrapped in a waist-length towel in front of the bathroom mirror, my hand pointing at the reddened skin on my neck from Vanessa. As her lips touched and felt cold against the surface of my skin, my head went blank. I was stunned at what he had just done.Could Vanessa be that brave?My hand covered my mouth, blocking the smile that appeared there. I cleared my throat and fixed the expression on my face that looked like a fool in the mirror's reflection."She has an unpredictable side, all right. It's cute to see her pulling me close like that." I couldn't stop talking to myself while looking at the reddish marks under my neck.My mind seemed interrupted for a moment earlier when he did that.I got up from there and left my bathroom. Walking to my wardrobe, I grabbed my formal clothes since I had to work today. I sighed, remembering what her agenda was like this month.My eyes gazed at the rows of clothes there in disgust. "Ah, I don't know when I'll be ab

Vanessa's POVI stepped into a beautiful place with a vast expanse of grass. I hadn't seen Andreas since earlier, so I wondered to myself. Where else would Andreas be? Why did he suddenly disappear?I took a deep breath. I tried to ignore my thoughts about Andreas and chose to enjoy this beautiful place I was visiting. This place is so lovely. I didn't get tired of stretching my arms while occasionally taking a deep breath of air. I was really in love with this place.I've been struggling with my feelings of comfort for a while when Andreas suddenly appears behind me. The man smiled sweetly at me as he handed me a bouquet and a box of cakes. "Vanessa, I brought you a bouquet and some cake," Andreas said.I smiled enthusiastically. I immediately grabbed the bouquet and cake with my right hand. Meanwhile, my left hand stretched out to cup Andreas' free wrist. "You're so romantic, Andreas." I smiled mockingly at him. Being nosy is my hobby these days with him.Andreas chuckled. "How was

Vanessa's povI was annoyed when he took me away from our still-unfinished wedding party. Was it okay for the guests to stay without the person who owned the event? I mean, was it polite to just leave them there? But Andreas didn't seem to care.He impatiently carried me into the room without turning my head to the right and left. I then put my hand to hold on tighter to him. In case he was having trouble, I murmured near his ear, "I hope this marriage continues to work well, Andreas."I saw Andreas nodding. "Sure, this will go on forever." He lowered me from his arms and then took off his suit. The man then smiled and walked towards the bed.I, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, did not dodge when Andreas suddenly touched my arm. And was groped my arm until I have amused myself. "Andreas, stop it! I felt ridiculous when you touched me."Instead of stopping the touching, Andreas moved to grope my neck. Then, his palm moved to my back until he embraced me completely."Why are you
The Forbidden Step-Brother's Wild Desire Chapter 135
Vanessa's POVStep by step, I walked closer to him, slowly gazing at him. The moment felt very sacred like it was filled with blessings and happiness. Each step I took toward him made what happened and what I went through with that man flash in my head.I felt like I was the one who rejected him so harshly, the one who mistreated her and denied my feelings, and when I thought about it now, I felt guilty for him, especially after seeing how much effort she put into making our relationship an approved one.Throughout his absence, I kept cursing him, not knowing what he had secretly prepared for me. He kept his promise to me, kept his promise to his father, and melted his mother's heart. He almost did everything just to accept me into his life.I laughed, looking at him on the other end, who gestured with his hands for me not to cry. We laughed at this happiness that was about to be achieved and only a few steps away.Right in front of me, as we stopped by the Altar, Andreas extended his

Vanessa's POVMy wedding day finally arrived. Two days before the wedding day, the others and I had prepared a private jet to take you to the private island where our wedding would be held.It wasn't for nothing that the island was chosen as the location for the wedding. Father decided on it because he knew his daughter well and didn't like her private life to be highlighted by people and enjoyed by the public. Even though I realised that I had become a public figure, I didn't want that kind of thing, on the contrary. I hoped that everything would go smoothly."Vanessa, I'll put the necklace here, then return later." Maria put down the jewellery box I knew contained a necklace she gave me yesterday.I nodded my head. "Yes, ma'am. I'll make sure to ask them to wear it." I glanced at her, who passed beside me with a nodding smile.It was hard for me to look at her because I felt like I was being used as a mannequin by the makeup and fashion artists in charge of my appearance today.They

Vanessa's POVI was walking out of the house doorway with my eyebrows raised when I found Andreas pacing back and forth incoherently with a worried expression like that. He was worried about something. He didn't usually look that worried.I let out a short breath. I tried to steady myself before stepping towards the man who now made me feel better than ever.He turned to me. "Vanessa?" he sounded panicked for no reason, even though I had only been out of sight for a few moments.Suddenly, I heard a voice that sounded worried. Andreas quickly pulled my hand away, and I was told to face him fully, close enough that my breath and his breath almost met.Andreas touched my cheeks hard enough to make me feel out of breath. I patted his waist, and sure enough. Andreas immediately released the choke hold."I've been waiting for you. What took you so long?" Andreas asked later. He seemed incoherently annoyed. "What are you guys doing?"I stayed where I was standing. I let the seconds pass by,

Vanessa's POV"I don't think this is a necklace that just anyone can wear. Why did you give it to me?" I touched the necklace carefully around my neck, then looked at it in the mirror with an enchanted look.That necklace was so beautiful. It was like wearing a tiara around my neck and seeing firsthand the necklaces that nobles used to wear years ago. Compared to how much it could cost, I was more fascinated by the history of what it had gone through to reach this generation, and it was still well preserved. One thing I was sure of was that this necklace seemed to be a precious treasure belonging to the Andreas family.My fingers clenched into fists, and suddenly, my courage to touch it shrank. "Are you sure you gave it to me?" I turned to her, staring doubtfully.Maria nodded her head. Now I understood why when I saw the sapphire stone, I felt familiar and like I had seen it before. It was because the blue stone had the same colour as her eyes, the same as the colour of Andreas' iris

Vanessa's POV"Let's take a short walk before we go home." Andreas stood up from where he was sitting and extended his hand to me.I grabbed his hand and pulled him so I stood beside him. "Where are we going?" I asked him, holding my hand tightly as we walked out of the café where Steve and I had signed off on our project."Mmm... just walk around here. I saw a park when we were walking here earlier. It's nice outside, so let's go outside." He glanced at me with a warm smile on his lips.I nodded my head, walking out of the place with him. The park, she said, is not far from there. The park was near an artificial lake in the city's centre, but even though it was an artificial lake, the lake's size was quite large.The atmosphere in the garden looked very shady and pleasant. In the sunny weather with a brightly lit sky, the garden showed its dominant, alluring green and brown colours. Walking there felt cool because the wind first hit the leaves and made the breeze feel cooler.I sighe

Vanessa's POV"Are you sure you want to join us for the meeting? Don't you want to wait in my room?" I asked him as he opened the car door for me.Andreas shook his head. "Why, you don't want me to interrupt your meeting with him?" he glanced at me with a serious look, even though I knew he was joking, while extending his hand to me.I grabbed his hand and joined him, walking out of the car. "I'm not." I denied it. He was still being nosy about it. "I'm just worried that you'll get bored waiting for us to talk about work," I replied casually. I was hooking my arm tighter around his.Andreas turned to me with his eyebrows knitted together and a fierce look on his face. "Me? Bored with talking about work?" He twitched her lips with a playful face. "Seriously, have you forgotten who I am?" he pretended with his annoying face.I stare at him in astonishment, right? For a moment, I forgot that Andreas was someone like that. He was a workaholic, and it was impossible for him to feel bored w

Vanessa's PoV"Are you tired?" I asked him with my hand gently stroking the head. As he breathed deeply into my shoulder, I could hear the sound of his breathing in time, with his heartbeat beating in a matching rhythm.Andreas shook his head. "I'm tired of talking to them, welcoming their congratulations and other pleasantries." He raised her head slightly, peering at me. "I bet you went here too because you were tired of everything."Andreas laughed. He looked at me with a nosy expression, like he had read what was going through my mind. "You must be getting sick of them talking like sycophants, right?" he grinned.I raised my eyebrows at him in astonishment. "You're just like a psychic." How could he know? Was he reading my mind? Or was the expression on my face too evident and easy to read? I furrowed my eyebrows.He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "I'm not psychic. I know you well." He replied with a smile on his face that seemed to tease me. "Let's go out. We ne
