All Chapters of LOVING THE FORBIDDEN: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

EMMA’S POVThe gunshot echoed through the room, followed by a male stranger's piercing scream, then a loud thud. My body shook, and a gasp slipped out. I covered my mouth with my shaky palm while my heart thundered.The man who shot him stood there looking unfazed with his tattooed fingers still wrapped around the gun; his black hair was gelled backwards, and he was dressed in a black suit. His jawline was sharp, and his nose pointed.I knew I had to get out of there. I had to leave now. Without thinking, I placed the package I was supposed to deliver on the floor and tiptoed backwards. I wished I had never entered, but when there was no response, I couldn't leave it out when it was bound to rain soon.“Throw his body in the river and clean this up.” The devilish man said before stepping closer and shooting him again in the head. “This is a punishment for whoever defiles me.” His tone was deep, cold, and scarred. I shivered in fear.I could see him from the slightly open door—just his

SALVATORE’S POV“Boss, we lost three of our men to The Bullet Brotherhood.

What was I thinking that he cared? Mistakenly, he tasted my food to care. I barely ate the rest of the food, and soon, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling.
