HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE Bloodline
Isabella’s POV “Answer it.” Mom’s voice came out thin and strained. She stood near the chair by the wall, her hands gripping the back of it for support.Lucas didn’t move. The phone kept vibrating in his hand, lighting up his face over and over again in the dim hospital room. The screen flashed Victor’s name with each ring. Claire looked between them carefully. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. “Lucas…”He answered without taking his eyes off the screen. “If I pick up, I might say something I can’t take back.”Marcus muttered quietly, “Pretty sure we crossed that bridge three scandals ago.”Nobody laughed. Lucas finally swiped the call open. Slowly. Then lifted the phone to his ear. Everyone held still, watching him. Even the nurses who had stepped back near the door stayed quiet.“Yeah.”His voice sounded flat now. He stood straight with his shoulders squared, but his free hand stayed clenched at his side.We couldn’t hear Victor clearly from the other side, only
HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE Father and Son
Isabella’s POV “He brought lawyers.”The words landed like a gunshot.Lucas’s shoulders straightened and his eyes narrowed slightly as he stood near the bed.Claire looked exhausted already. She rubbed a hand over her face, her shoulders slumping. “Of course he did.”Marcus frowned sharply. “Why would Richard bring lawyers to a hospital?”Ethan shut the door behind him harder than necessary. The sound echoed in the small space. “Because reporters are everywhere downstairs and apparently somebody leaked enough documents to turn this into a legal issue.”Mom went pale again. Her face lost what little color it had left. “What documents?”Ethan looked directly at her. “Adoption records.”Lucas laughed softly under his breath. Not amused. Not sane either. The sound came out rough and tired.“Fantastic.”Claire stepped toward Ethan quickly. “Did you see Richard?”“Yeah.”“And?”Ethan hesitated. That hesitation pulled everybody tighter. The tension in the room grew thicker. My stomach felt
HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE Not Your Son
Isabella’s POV “That’s a lie.” Mom said it too quickly. Her voice cut through the hospital room and made everyone turn toward her at once.Lila tilted her head slightly. “Then why are you panicking already?”“I’m not panicking.”“You grabbed the chair hard enough to almost tip it over.”Mom looked down instinctively. Her fingers loosened immediately from the chairback. The metal legs scraped lightly against the tile floor. Tiny mistake. But enough.Lucas noticed too. His shoulders tensed under his shirt and his eyes narrowed as he watched her. “What man?” he asked quietly.Lila kept her eyes on Blair. “Middle-aged. Grey suit. Claims he worked security for the fertility clinic years ago.”Marcus frowned instantly. “And security just let him upstairs?”“He didn’t come up,” Lila replied. “But he’s talking to reporters downstairs.”Claire went pale. Her face lost color under the fluorescent lights. “No.”Marcus already pulled out his phone again. He tapped the screen quickly, the glow li
HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE Public Property
Isabella’s POV “Turn it off.” My voice barely audible. It felt weak in my throat.Nobody moved at first. The television kept flashing the same image over and over again on the screen mounted on the wall. Camilla’s mouth against mine. My hands tangled in her hair. The angle made it look intimate enough to erase every possible excuse. Below the video, bold white letters stretched across the bottom: MAXWELL FAMILY SCANDAL DEEPENS.Claire found the remote on the small table. She pointed it at the screen and the television clicked black immediately. Too late, everybody had already seen it. The image stayed burned in the room even with the screen off.Lucas stood completely still beside the bed. His expression stayed unreadable now, his face blank and his shoulders set. That scared me more than anger would have. His hand still rested near mine on the blanket.Marcus swore quietly under his breath. “Who leaked that video?”“Video?” Claire repeated sharply, turning toward him.Marcus looke
HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE TOO LATE
Isabella’s POV “Call somebody!”Claire’s voice echoed through the room so loudly that the nurse who had just stepped out rushed back in right away. Her shoes squeaked against the tile floor as she moved quickly toward the bed.Marcus grabbed the edge of the blanket first, pulling it back slightly. “Jesus Christ.”Mom went white, her face lost all color as she stood there near the wall, one hand pressed against her chest.Camilla stopped moving entirely. She stood frozen in place, eyes fixed on the bed.I stared at the blood spreading beneath me and couldn’t process it. My brain refused to accept what I was seeing. The dark red stain kept growing slowly across the white hospital blanket and the sheet underneath.No. Not happening. Not real.Claire climbed onto the bed beside me immediately, her hands gripping my shoulders carefully but firmly. The mattress dipped under her weight. “Bella, look at me.”I couldn’t. My eyes stayed fixed downward. More blood, too much. It felt warm and we
HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE Right In Front of Me
Isabella’s POV “Don’t.” Claire reached for the phone immediately, but I pulled it back before she could take it. I held it tight in both hands, staring at the screen.The picture stayed frozen there. Lucas standing beside the black gates outside the hospital. Lila’s hand rested against his jaw. Her mouth pressed to his. His eyes were closed.Something inside me dropped so hard it physically hurt. A heavy, sharp ache settled deep in my chest, making it hard to pull in a full breath. My fingers felt numb around the edges of the phone.Marcus swore under his breath. “That’s staged.”I kept staring at it anyway. Staged or not, he had kissed her back. The image buried itself into my mind, every detail clear under the hospital lights.Claire took the phone carefully this time when my fingers loosened around it. “Bella, stop looking at it.”“What else did she send?” My voice sounded strange. Too calm, like it belonged to someone else.Claire frowned slightly at the screen. “There’s text und
