My Forbidden Fruit
I was only eleven when my life changed. My parents were gone, and my innocence was taken away.
I grew up in a world where danger wore a suit and love felt like power. I learned to guard myself. But nothing prepared me for him, Lorenzo Vitalio.
He is my guardian’s stepbrother. He watched me grow up. He is the man I shouldn’t want. Yet he is the only one I do.
He’s 32, and I’m 20. The age difference is wrong. The feelings? Right—so painfully right that it hurts.
I’ve loved him for as long as I’ve known what love is. But to him, I was just the girl he had to protect, not the woman he could claim.
So I did what any heartbroken girl would do—I pushed him away. I made him notice me. I broke rules, crossed boundaries, and opened up the cracks in both of us.
Just when I thought I’d finally lost him, he came back.
Now the question is, can love survive the burden of secrets, danger, and years of denial?
Or am I doomed to suffer for a man who knows how to protect but not how to love?
This is the story of Evelyn Rose and Lorenzo Vitalio. A love too forbidden to begin. Too deep to end. And far too reckless to ignore.

Chapter: Chapter 6“Oh, Enzo—yes! Kiss me hard—”That bitch.She was on top of him, back arched, face flushed with lust. And she said that loud enough for me to hear.His hands were on her. His mouth on her neck. She moaned, clinging to him like he was hers.He ripped the strap of her dress down her shoulder. His back was to me. He couldn’t see me standing there. Couldn’t see the way my world cracked into shards with every groan that left his mouth.Please look at me, Enzo. Please.I begged silently.But he didn’t turn.She wouldn’t let him.I stood frozen on the stairs.Statue still. Breathless.I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe.I watched her drop to her knees.I watched her mouth wrap around him.My stomach turned. My throat burned.He groaned—groaned—and grabbed a fistful of her hair. His hips moved like this was something he’d done with her before. Like it meant nothing.She smirked at me. That bitch smirked.She saw me. And she made damn sure I saw her.My tears fell without permission.I didn’t c

Chapter: Chapter 5Nothing.Absolutely fucking nothing.It’s been a goddamn week since I hired someone to dig into her. One week of waiting, obsessing, stalking every second of her scripted, pathetic little life. And what did I get?Nothing. Zilch. No dirty secrets, no lovers in the dark, not even a goddamn parking ticket.She’s so plain it makes me want to scream.Who the hell goes shopping for five hours every single day? And what is she even buying—souls? New personalities?God, my blood pressure is going to give up before she does.Her schedule was clockwork stupid:Wake up at 11.Dress up like a discount magazine model.Go shopping.Sip overpriced tea with plastic-faced friends.Then go clubbing like she’s auditioning for a mid-life crisis.And, of course, visits Enzo’s place now and then. Like a good little fiancée.But guess what?They have separate fucking bedrooms.And not once—not even once—in seven days did she go to his room.I could’ve screamed. I did scream. Into my pillow, into the walls,

Chapter: Chapter 4I Practically kicked him out of my room and shut the door on his face.Maybe he had all the time in the world but I didn't.A hollow kind of quiet spread across my room. A sigh left my lips—shaky, broken—before goosebumps spread over my skin like frostbite. I felt frozen inside out.I turned, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror and—God.My face was a disaster. Hair tangled. Eyes puffy. Mascara smudges under my lashes. My red bralette—the one I wore just in case he noticed—felt like a joke now.I couldn’t hold it in anymore.I broke.Tears fell in fat, unfiltered sobs. I pressed my hands to my cheeks, trying to smother the sound of my heartbreak echoing off the walls. I looked like a ghost of the girl I was this morning. The girl who still believed she meant something to him.I never imagined I’d lose him—not just as the man I… silently loved—but also as my family. My only anchor.All it took was her to unravel everything.She walked in and suddenly he had someone else to hover

Chapter: Chapter 3The party went smoothly.After cutting the cake, I ditched the polite smiles and made a beeline for the dance floor. Met a cute guy—messy curls, a cocky smile, hands that lingered too long on my waist.He gave me his number.And now I’m staring at it. Still lying on my bed in my very little PJs—believe me when I say little.No one’s allowed in my room after 10 PM, so I was safe. Even though Enzo said he'd come back... he left.With her.She was drunk. Couldn't get home.So he took her.Of course.I may or may not wore this for him.But now it was all useless.As me.I looked down at my phone.If I can’t text the one I want, why not settle for some distraction?Rolling over on my bed, my eyes caught my reflection in the mirror above. And just like that, I was yanked into a memory—one that never leaves.FLASHBACK“You good?” he asked, that usual furrow between his brows.“Yes.”A lie.The cramps were killing me. I hadn’t even managed to shower—I felt heavy, sore, useless.It happened so

Chapter: Chapter 2Her attention was finally on me.After eye fucking Enzo for like 10 minutes.“Oh Enzo told me its your birthday so I came to wish you..as we are going to be family soon”She smiled looking at enzo.Again! Wait! What? Family?I was dumbfounded by her statement,she catches on that quick.Enzo was looking at me but I couldn't look at him now.My focus was on carol or I say a rather smirking carol.“You don't know?”“Huh??”My voice was so soft that I could barely register if I said it out loud or in my mind.I don't know what i was expecting but not what she said next.“We are getting engaged!!” In a very chirping voice. My whole body freezes.“Ohh” “We were—”“He proposed”She cut Enzo off as he spoke and threw another bomb at me.It was shocking would be an understatement.They were not this close a week ago then what changed?In my own thoughts I didn't notice that I was looking down now but a hand on my shoulder broke my trance.“Happy birthday love!!!----control yourself”Last wo
