Semua Bab Forbidden Affairs With My Brother-in-law : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 22: Midnight Sins(Ava's POV)I rubbed my eyes, breathing heavily and sighing each time my fingers landed on my laptop keyboard. My eyelids were so heavy it felt like my head might fall off my neck. My determination to finish the design was the only thing keeping my eyes open.If not, I was sure I would have been long gone into dreamland. I sincerely thought being an intern for a brand and working online would be as light as a feather… little did I know I’d have to stay up late, trying to fix a design."You have to finish this, Ava. You can definitely do it," I whispered to myself, being my own support system.I closed my eyes for a moment, but when I opened them, trying to get back to work, my phone vibrated. I finally decided to check who it was… only to find a message from Damon. It was simple."Hey, Ava. I wonder if you’re okay. We haven’t really had time to talk lately, and I’ve been worried about how you’re doing. If you wouldn’t mind, please meet me in the kitchen at 1:

Chapter 24: Unspoken Desires(Damon's POV)I was still enjoying the warmth of my bed and the comfort of sleep until I felt someone shaking the hell out of me. My eyes were heavy... I was sincerely hoping to sleep a little longer. I tried opening them, only to meet Adrianna's troubled face. Her breath was heavy, and her eyes held a depth of emotions while I tried to get a hold of the situation."Ava... Damon! Ava... Ava is missing," Adrianna screamed.My once-heavy eyes flung open, and I immediately sat up.How could Ava be missing?This time, I did the shaking. I held her shoulders and looked into her eyes."What do you mean Ava is missing?" I asked, letting go of her as I rushed out of bed."Explain to me, Adrianna. What happened?" I asked, my voice raised.My heart was beating faster than a crazy drum. It felt like my whole world was about to come crashing down."I was... I planned to take her shopping very early this morning, so I got up, got dressed, and decided to go to her to te

Chapter 26: How did I end up here?(Ava's POV)How do you know you've hit rock bottom? Is it when you're drowning yourself in alcohol to numb the pain? When you're making reckless choices just to prove a point to someone who probably doesn't even care? Or is it when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself anymore?I wasn't sure.But as I stood there, surrounded by a world I didn't belong to, I knew I was close. I was still at the party. Somehow, the party had lost its slow, elegant charm and was growing wild by the minute. Now, it felt like I had stepped onto the set of an R-rated film.The warm white lights had been replaced with flashing red and blue, casting an eerie glow over the large living room. Women pressed their bodies against men who didn’t even try to hide their erections.In the corners, people kissed feverishly, hands wandering without restraint. Some even placed women on tables, allowing their fingers to trace over exposed skin as if they were in a private r

Chapter 28: The Morning After Regret(Ava's POV)My head throbbed. I felt embarrassed, humiliated and reduced to nothing."Congratulations, Ava. You’ve successfully made a fool out of yourself. Anytime Walter sees you, he’ll always remember you as the drunk woman who stripped herself naked and desperately begged him for sex." A small voice mocked in my head. The thought made my stomach churn. I squeezed my eyes shut, praying that when I opened them, I’d wake up in my bed and realize it had all been a bad dream. But when I peeked, reality hit me like a freight train. I was still here. And worse, Walter was staring at me.My lips curled in a mix of disgust and frustration. I bet he could draw my naked body with his eyes closed at this point.Oh, fuck!What if he told Damon? Damon would mock me for life, saying I refused to sleep with him but had no problem throwing myself at his best friend.A groan bubbled in my throat, but I swallowed it down. I shouldn't have come to that damn party

Chapter 30: Mine to claim (Damon’s POV)I never thought betrayal could feel like this—sharp, suffocating, and searing through my veins like fire. But here I was, sitting in my office, gripping the edge of my desk so hard my fingers ached. I felt like breaking everything around me after hearing the conversation Ava had with whoever it was. I kept wondering about the call. The other person on the call seemed so happy to know whether or not Ava fucked Walter. Ava had met with Walter. Why him? Of all the men in the world, why did it have to be him? I began to pace my office. I was fast becoming sweaty despite the two air-conditioning units in the office. The conversation I overheard kept replaying in my head, looping like a damn nightmare.Had she slept with him? I wondered again. I wasn’t sure. She hadn’t answered. If she hadn’t seen me, maybe she would have. Maybe she would have admitted to everything right there on the phone, laughing as she told her friend how good he was, how muc
