All Chapters of Our Forbidden Desires [ENGLISH VERSION]: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The coveted contract loomed over the business landscape like a beacon of opportunity, promising to reshape the fortunes of any company fortunate enough to secure it. Tristan was already walking towards the elevator when he feel his phone vibrating. It's his father who's calling. He took a deep breath before answering. "Yes, Dad?" "Are you already on your way through the meeting place with the clients?" "Hmm, yeah. I just arrived here." "Tristan, let me remind you that the meeting you're going to attend now is very important to us. You can't afford to lose focus and not do well there, understood?" Tristan knew his father meant well, but he's really confident that between him and Kristoffer, he can make sure everything goes smoothly. Since he also know the head of the team of the clients he's about to meet. And he believes that they can trust him better than Branson. "I need to go, Dad." Tristan ended the call, ignoring his father's protests. For Tristan and Kristoffer, it was a c

"You are so stupid!" Tristan stood frozen in shock as his father's furious fist connected with his face. The force of the blow almost sent him sprawling to the ground. The room seemed to blur as his step-mother, sensing the commotion, rushed out from the kitchen, her eyes widening in alarm at the scene unfolding before her."Benjamin, why did you do that?!" she exclaimed, her voice full of disbelief. Her hands reaching out to hold onto her husband. "That bastard, let one of the biggest project be on Branson's side! You're a disappointment, Tristan. I keep on reminding you how important to get that contract but look what happened, you managed to fail it!" she scolded him once more, anger is evidence in his eyes. "And what's next? You are also going to let him take the spot for the international expansion project?" Tristan clenched his jaw, as his father grabbed him by the arm tightly, pulling him towards himself. "Benjamin, you are hurting you son...""This is the first and last cha

Samantha sighed again. She couldn't shake off the worry in her heart, it seemed to be getting harder for her to reject Kristoffer's courtship as the days passed, but the reason for her frown now was the words that Viviana had said that she couldn't get out of her mind."Psh! You still seem happy about your engagement party preparations, huh?" she said with a pout. Then the door to her office opened and there she saw Tristan holding some papers."If you need something done, just leave it here on the top of the table," she said. After seeing Tristan enter and close the door, she lowered her gaze and never lifted her head again."Is there a problem?" She felt Tristan walking towards her. From her sitting position, she stood up and pretended to be busy searching for some folders in their container."Sam?" He reached for her hand, and she turned her head to see his worried eyes. Samantha avoided his gaze, as if she was being sucked in by his eyes. Since this morning, she had been ignoring

From the middle, Viviana and Tristan sat, with Samantha's step-father and mother on either side of them. The guests, too, were happy to observe, but some of them couldn't help but whisper and speculate whether the marriage of the two will really push through, especially considering the undeniable history of conflict between the two families in the business realm."Good evening, everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic time tonight. We are gathered here to celebrate the love and commitment of two extraordinary individuals, Mr. Tristan Hilton and Ms. Viviana Branson!" The host begins. "While it is known to everyone that the initial encounter between their families regarding their businesses did not go well, they expect that the love they now have for each other will be the binding force for even greater success in their business and family."From where Tristan was seated, his eyes found Samantha, who was now sitting next to Kristoffer. He didn't take his gaze off her; he wanted to

"Viviana, please don't involve my child." After stepping down from the stage, Samantha's mother approached her."Ms. Samantha, what does Ms. Branson mean? Do you know if there's any truth to your step-brother impregnating Ms. Viviana?" asked a reporter, followed by others."Everyone, please don't escalate the situation. My child has nothing to do with this. Tristan, please, sort this mess out. Samantha..." Samantha looked at Tristan again, her mind seemingly blank, all she knew was that she wanted to cry."Let's leave here for now, dear," her mother suggested, taking her by the arm."Sam..." Tristan was about to follow when he was stopped."You heard what Samantha's mother said, Tristan. Fix the mess you've made," Kristoffer firmly stated, then followed Samantha.Tristan's father walked over to the host and whispered something."Everyone. I kindly ask that you return to your seats. We can also start lining up for the buffet." The host tried to calm the guests, especially the media, bu
