Richard's Fury

last update publish date: 2026-04-08 09:11:33

The drive to Richard’s house felt longer than it should have. The city lights blurred past the windows as Victor steered the SUV through the quiet streets. Mom sat beside him in the front, her hands folded tightly in her lap, fingers twisting together every few seconds. I sat in the back between Lucas.

No one spoke for the first ten minutes. The only sounds were the low hum of the engine and the occasional sigh from Lucas beside me. His fingers brushed mine once, then pulled away, like he wasn’

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE     Betrayed

    Lila’s POVI stayed hidden in the shadows at the bottom of the stairs, heart hammering. The kitchen argument between Ethan and Isabella was getting louder, their voices sharp and raw. I had caused this. Part of me felt a thrill, but another part knew I needed to move before they spotted me. Isabella suddenly turned away from Ethan, her robe swirling around her legs. “I can’t do this right now,” she said, her voice breaking. “I’m done.”She started walking toward the hallway that led to the terrace. My stomach dropped. If she came this way, she would see me. I turned fast and ran on bare feet, quiet as I could, back up the stairs and then down the side corridor that opened onto the terrace from the other end. My nightdress fluttered around my thighs as I moved. I slipped outside into the cool night air and pressed myself against the wall, trying to catch my breath.The ocean waves crashed softly below. The terrace was dark except for the moonlight on the stone. I thought I had made it

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE    The Secret Spreads

    Lila’s POVI woke up slowly, my body still warm and a little sore from last night with Ethan. The silk nightdress was twisted around my waist. I smiled to myself in the dark, remembering how hard he had taken me, how angry he had been at Isabella. The memory made heat pool between my legs again.Then I heard noises.Voices. Loud ones. Coming from the kitchen downstairs.I sat up quickly. The house was supposed to be quiet at this hour. The clock on my phone said it was just after 3 a.m. I slipped out of bed, not bothering to change. I kept the same thin nightdress on, my hair messy from sleep and sex. My bare feet made almost no sound as I crept down the hallway and toward the stairs.The voices got clearer as I got closer.“You need to tell me the truth, Isabella!” Ethan’s voice was low but sharp, full of anger.I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, hidden in the shadows. From there I could see into the kitchen. The light was on over the counter. Isabella stood near the sink in a ro

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE    Lila's Secret Move

    Lila’s POVI could not sleep after what I heard in Isabella’s room. My mind kept spinning with her words…pregnant, not sure who the father is, Marcus, Alex, Lucas, Ethan… all of them. My heart was beating fast, a mix of shock and something hotter, something I could not name. Claire looked destroyed. Isabella looked broken. And me? I felt alive in a dangerous way.I stood in front of the mirror in my room and took a deep breath. I wanted to look good tonight. Really good. I slipped into a thin silk nightdress that hugged my body, the one with the low neckline and short hem. It was soft against my skin. I brushed my hair until it fell in loose waves, put on a little lip gloss, and sprayed a light perfume on my neck and wrists. The scent was sweet and warm. I looked at myself one last time. My cheeks were flushed. Good.The house was quiet. Everyone had gone to bed. I stepped out into the hallway on bare feet. The floor was cool under my soles. I moved slowly, carefully, my heart racing

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE    The Truth I Wasn’t Given

    Isabella’s POVRichard didn’t look surprised to see me.That annoyed me immediately.He stood behind his desk, sleeves rolled up, a file open in front of him like I hadn’t just walked in without warning. His eyes lifted slowly, taking me in—my face, my posture, the way I hadn’t even tried to compose myself.“Isabella,” he said calmly. “It’s late.”“I need answers.”He closed the file without rushing. “That much is obvious.”“Don’t do that,” I snapped. “Don’t act like this is normal.”“I didn’t say it was,” he replied, his voice still steady. “Sit down.”“I’m not here to sit.”“Then stand,” he said. “But lower your voice.”I let out a sharp breath, but I didn’t argue that part. My chest was still tight from the drive, from the house, from everything that had been thrown at me in the last hour.“You raised us in the same house,” I said. “Me and Lucas.”“Yes.”“You let us grow up thinking we were siblings.”His eyes held mine. “You were raised as family.”“That’s not the same thing,” I s

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE    What Else Didn’t I Know

    Isabella’s POVThe door flew open harder than I intended, the sound slamming against the wall and echoing down the hallway. I didn’t slow down. My chest felt tight, like something was pressing in from the inside. The word wouldn’t leave my head.Adopted.It didn’t fit. It didn’t sit right. It kept pushing against everything I thought I knew about this house, about us, about him.I took the stairs too fast, my hand brushing the railing just to steady myself. The house felt different on the way down. Voices drifted from the living room. My mom’s soft tone, Victor’s deeper one. Normal. Calm.I stepped into the room, both of them turned at the same time. My mom’s face changed first, her expression tightening with concern as her eyes moved over me. “Isabella? What’s wrong?”Victor straightened slightly in his seat, watching me with a sharper focus. “You look upset. What happened?”I stopped a few steps into the room, my hands still clenched at my sides. I could feel my pulse in my fingers,

  • HOUSE OF FORBIDDEN DESIRE    Not Blood

    Isabella’s POVClaire didn’t speak beside me, but I could feel her watching, waiting to see what I would do.Lucas stepped closer. “Then tell me.”My chest tightened. “Can we go upstairs?” I asked.His eyes held mine for a second, searching, then he nodded. “Yeah.”I didn’t wait. I turned and headed for the stairs, aware of him following behind me, steady, unhurried. Each step felt heavier than the last, like I was dragging the truth with me, like it was resisting being brought into the open.By the time we got to my room, my pulse was loud in my ears. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. He came in after me, and the soft click of the door closing sounded final in a way that made my stomach twist.Lucas leaned back against it, arms loose at his sides, watching me carefully. “You’re making this worse by dragging it out.”“I know,” I said, my voice thinner than I intended.“Then say it.”I moved a little farther into the room, stopping near the bed, my hands restless, brushing aga
