A Lesson In Forbidden Love Chapter 133
DAHLIA'S POVThe sky over London had turned a heavy, bruised violet, and cold rain streamed down the glass panes of my private suite at Mayfair Creative Studio.The office was unusually quiet, save for the low, rhythmic hum of the high-definition monitor sitting at the center of my desk. Sarah stood near the corner of the room, her hands clasped tightly over her mouth. Her eyes kept moving between the screen and me, as though she was waiting for something terrible to happen.I hadn't moved in several minutes.I sat frozen in my leather executive chair, my fingers gripping the edge of the mahogany desk so tightly that my nails had turned white. My breathing was shallow and uneven, every inhale feeling like I was swallowing broken glass.On the screen, the grand auditorium at Carrington International Corporate Headquarters was an absolute zoo.Camera flashes exploded in relentless waves, washing the entire room in bright silver light. More than two hundred international journalists, fin

Dahlias POVIt wasn't a gentle, tentative kiss. It carried five years of longing, grief, and everything we had failed to say to each other. His hands trembled against me, and the desperation in his touch left me momentarily unable to think.For one bewildering second, I forgot the ballroom, Olivia, and the unanswered questions that had tormented me for days.All I could feel was Vincent.The man I had loved before everything fell apart.The man I had spent five years trying to forget.My arms rose almost instinctively, settling around his shoulders as my fingers tightened against his tuxedo jacket.He drew me closer, holding me as though the brief distance between us had become unbearable.A low, strained breath escaped him as he pressed his forehead against mine. My knees felt unsteady beneath the heavy silk of my gown, and I clung to his shoulders for support.When he finally pulled back, we were both breathing hard, our foreheads resting together beneath the dim amber light.His da

Dahlia’s POVThe Grand Ballroom at The Savoy was a dizzying, suffocating sea of flashbulbs, champagne flutes, and whispered high-society gossip.Crystal chandeliers hung like frozen waterfalls from the vaulted ceiling, casting a warm amber glow over London's elite. Designers, venture capitalists, and old-money dynasties mingled beneath the gilded arches for the annual European Fashion and Trade Gala.I stood near the edge of the velvet-draped balcony, holding an untouched glass of sparkling water. I wore a bespoke, floor-length gown of midnight-blue silk, its liquid fabric clinging to my waist before trailing gracefully across the floor. The high, structured collar elegantly concealed the faint scar near my hairline, while dark sapphire studs caught the light at my ears."You look breathtaking, Dahlia," Alexander murmured, stepping beside me in an open-collared tuxedo.He offered a polite smile to a passing trade director before turning his grey eyes toward me."Though I notice you ha

Vincent’s POVThe oak doors of the Sports Management boardroom shut, blocking out the senior executives waiting outside.I stood beside the windows, unbuttoning my vest. Behind me lay the preliminary family merger contracts.For six days, I had played the obedient son.I attended board reviews, joined my father for investment calls, and allowed Olivia's family to hint at our coming alliance in press releases.I smiled and nodded, giving my father no reason to suspect a change.To Richard and Olivia, I was a broken man who had accepted his family's demands.They thought they had won."Sir."Marcus's voice came from the doorway. He slipped into the room, locked the double doors behind him, and placed an encrypted flash drive on the glass table."The secondary routing is complete."I turned toward him, my expression hardening."Did the offshore capital transfer clear?""Yes, sir."Marcus opened his laptop and connected the drive, bringing up a secure financial ledger."Two hundred millio

Dahlia’s POVThe medical tape tugged at the fine hairs on my temple as Sarah carefully peeled away the gauze dressing.I studied the fading bruise on my cheekbone and the thin red line near my hairline in the dressing-room mirror. Five days had passed since I left St. Jude’s Hospital against the doctor's advice.My head still ached when I moved too quickly, but the gallery showcase at the end of the week mattered more."You don't have to push yourself this hard, Dahlia," Sarah murmured, placing a clean strip over the wound. "The showcase can be postponed. Everyone knows what happened, and nobody would blame you for recovering first.""No," I replied, my voice carrying a quiet, unyielding edge. "If I postpone the rollout, they win. Whoever sent those men to shatter my car wants me cowering in a hotel room, waiting for the next plane back to Manhattan. I won't give them the satisfaction."Sarah sighed but continued smoothing the edges of the dressing."I know you're determined to prove

Vincent's POVThe rain had returned to London, tapping against the high glass windows of my study.The room was dim, illuminated by the amber glow of the fireplace. I sat motionless in the leather armchair, staring at the folder my father had left on my desk. Its pages detailed the destruction he had planned for Dahlia's life: fabricated financial fraud documents that could ruin her studio, investors ready to withdraw their money, and private security contractors prepared to turn her life in London into a nightmare.My hands trembled as I closed the folder.A ragged breath escaped me, my chest tightening beneath the unbearable weight of it all.I had spent five years believing I could escape my father's shadow. I had built my own firm, amassed my own wealth, and convinced myself that power could protect the woman I loved from the darkness within my family.But I was fighting a monster who didn't play by the rules, a man who viewed a young woman's suffering as nothing more than a busin
