The CEO's Forbidden Love
Angelie Smith never thought a day would come when she would have to give up her not-so-beginning love story just to save her brother's life. Tim, her Twin brother, had kidney failure that required an urgent transplant, having come from a humble background with just her and her only brother as the only surviving family, catering for such medical expenses is something her salary couldn’t afford. Caught in between the web, she had just one person in mind who would likely come to her rescue, Jeffrey Lu, the only man she had secretly loved for years and counting, unfortunately, he was far away on a business trip.
Lucas Lu, Jeffery's half-brother and a strategist who uses any opportunity to get under his brother’s skin, offered to help. Being another third party who knows about his brother’s strong feelings towards Angelie, he leverages the situation and offers to help after listening to her ordeal but not without coming with a strong price of her being his lawfully wedded wife.
With Jeffrey far away and his brother’s life on the line, accepting his condition was the only way she could save her brother. To Lucas, the marriage is just a way to spite his brother, who has always had a better life than he.
Lucas's evil act doesn’t end with marrying Angelie. On his wedding night, he plots a scheme that makes the two lovers have sex while heavily intoxicated with an aphrodisiac substance, and the affair of that night conceives a seed.
What will happen when Jeffery comes back and discovers that the only woman he wanted to confess his feelings to before the impromptu meeting occurs is set to marry his brother? Will Jeffery ever discover the existence of his twin girls, born by Angelie?

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY"What do you mean?" Angelie asked, her voice almost cracking.Lucas had already started walking away, but he turned slightly, enough to flash his smug grin over his shoulder. "So wifey isn't aware? Too bad." He disappeared down the corridor, leaving Angelie frozen where she stood, the place suddenly feeling too tight for her to breathe.She stood there, rooted, for a few more seconds. Then she turned on her heel and marched toward Anita's room.**********Anita was sitting in front of her vanity, dabbing a moisturizer ont,o her face when Angelie knocked and stepped inside.“Where is Jeffrey? Is he okay?”Anita raised a brow through the mirror. "The guts of you to walk into my room and ask about my husband." She deliberately dragged out the word "husband," as if it had sharp edges meant to hurt."This is not the time to fight, Anita," Angelie said, holding back the urge to scream. "I just need to know what's going on."Something in her voice must have reached Anita, because for the fir

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE"Dad!"Jeffrey could barely believe his eyes. Standing right before him, tall and composed, was his father. He would have doubted his sight, but his nose wouldn’t be wrong as well, his father always stuck to a particular brand of perfume, and this fragrance would always give him out. A small smirk curved at the edges of Morris’ lips."Who else would have the mind to challenge a Lu, if not a Lu?" Morris replied smoothly, stepping further into the room.Before Jeffrey could fully process the situation, Fred walked in."Fred!"Jeffrey rubbed his head, as if trying to wake himself from a dream or perhaps a well-crafted nightmare."Sit, son," Morris gestured toward the sofa.Jeffrey remained standing, staring at both of them, his voice rising. "Is this some kind of prank? What is going on? And this whole abduction, are you aware of it?"Morris calmly sat down on the couch by the window, his eyes tracing the garden view outside. "Yes, son. I planned everything."Jeffrey’s mouth hung open. H

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTThe boardroom buzzed with agitation as Lucas tried to mask the anxiety tightening in his chest with a well-rehearsed smile. His voice barely settled when the heavy doors opens, and silence filled the room for a minute.He stepped in, dressed immaculately in an all-white suit, his silver hair combed back as always. Not a hint of a smile touched his lips. His presence swallowed the noise, and all murmurs died instantly.Lucas' eyes widened. He hadn’t expected this. He thought his grandfather would still be in bed, recovering, or nursing his health. Lucas had planned to manipulate the board into naming him acting CEO before anyone else caught wind of Jeffrey’s disappearance."What is going on here?" Grandpa Lu's voice cut through the thick tension, loud and unmistakably dominant."You're here..." Lucas murmured, almost under his breath."I said," Grandpa Lu repeated, his tone stronger this time, "what is going on here?"Mr. Smith, a seasoned board member with little patience for drama, s

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN"You will end up hurting yourself, sir."The voice was calm, deep, and unfamiliar. Jeffrey raised his head slowly from where he lay on the cold garden soil. His breath was heavy, and his arm had a steady stream of blood trickling down from the wound he sustained while trying to escape. Standing in front of him was a tall man, at least 6.5 feet, built like a bodyguard, with dark eyes that didn't blink much. He extended his hand, expecting Jeffrey to take it. But Jeff, fueled by defiance, ignored it."What exactly do you people want from me? Money? My blood?" Jeff barked, his voice fueled with frustration and desperation. "I won’t sit in this place, sleeping and waking up, and eating your food like a damn prisoner! For all I know, it's poisoned."The man didn't flinch."We can have the chef taste your food before every meal if that will give you peace of mind. But we will not harm you. You must stop trying to escape," he pointed to Jeffrey's arm, "or this will be the result each time."

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-SixAngelie sat quietly, her hands playing with her skirt in a tense manner, as she finally found the courage to speak."I don't even know where to start," she said, her voice as low as ever. Damien watched her patiently, giving her all the time she needed. He knew she needed to feel safe first.And so, she told him everything.The marriage, how she had to accept Lucas. The sacrifices she made for her brother, Tim. The complicated entanglement with Jeffrey. And finally, the most confusing part of it all, the pregnancy she couldn't explain.Angelie let out a loud laugh as tears welled in her eyes. "I know it's all messed up. I don't even know why I'm telling you all this," she said, half-laughing, half-crying.Damien reached across the garden and took her hand firmly, removing her hair strands from entering her eyes."You don't have to apologize," he said. "And no… this doesn't change anything."Angelie looked at him, stunned."You deserve to be happy, Angelie. You deserve every good thin

Chapter: CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEThe silence was heavy, thick with tension as Grandpa Lu grabbed Fred by the collar of his jacket, his face red with rage."This is not the time to play pranks, Fred! Tell Jeffrey to come out now! You can't keep the guests waiting!" His voice boomed across the beach, drawing everyone's attention.Anita rushed over, her heels digging into the soft sand. "Yes! Grandpa is right! Remember, the doctor warned us not to trigger him. This joke is an expensive one! Tell him to come out already, I need to take the perfect picture before my make up begins to break"All eyes were now glued to Fred, waiting for him to admit it was just a poorly-timed joke. Lucas, chewing gum with zero care for the gravity of the situation, leaned against a pole, bored out of his mind. He was only here because Amaya had insisted.Fred swallowed hard. "Unfortunately, this is not a joke. We were attacked on our way here. They took Jeffrey with them."The words seemed to rip the very air apart. Grandpa Lu staggered ba
