Lara’s POV

His palm touched my cheek, warm and firm. My breath hitched. I didn’t move back. I couldn’t.

His eyes locked on mine, unreadable, heavy.

“Why are you so stubborn, Lara?” His voice was low.

I swallowed hard. “Because I don’t back down from what I want.”

His gaze sharpened. “And what is it that you want?”

I didn’t answer at once. My heart pounded. I just stared.

“Answer me,” he demanded softly, still holding my cheek.

“I want you, Aiden ” I said finally, my voice steady.

His hand tightened slightly on my face. Neither of us moved. The silence between us was louder than words.

I didn’t flinch under his touch. My fingers curled against his wrist.

"Lara listen, I__" I cut him off, not waiting to hear what he had to say.

“You hear me, Aiden?” I said, voice low but firm. “I want you. And I’m not letting go.”

His eyes darkened. “Lara…”

“No,” I cut him off. “Don’t say it. Don’t tell me I can’t have you. I don’t care what you say or what you think.” I step

  • FORBIDDEN AFFECTION    Make Mr. Lex my ally

    Elena’s POV Backstage was chaos — laughter, applause for other contestants, whispers about my performance. But I barely heard any of it. My ears were ringing with Mr. Lex’s words. “Lacked precision… I expected more.” It echoed in my head like a verdict. Not just a critique, but something heavier. Something that felt like a warning. I walked past contestants congratulating themselves, forcing a smile, but my hands were trembling. Every step felt heavier. My brush box felt heavier too. The dressing room was quiet when I slipped inside. I locked the door behind me and dropped onto the edge of the bed. My painting lay folded at the corner, unfinished. My chest was tight. I thought of Mr. Lex. That sharp look in his eyes when he spoke. Not a hint of pity. Only judgment. "Why the fuck is it soo hard to impress him." I whispered to myself. And suddenly, it hit me — what if that judgment wasn’t just about the painting? What if it was about my place in this competition? "No,

  • FORBIDDEN AFFECTION    Talent Show

    Elena’s POV “Go get my hat!” one of the contestants barked at her stylist. The poor girl scrambled, nearly tripping over a makeup bag. The room was chaos. Contestants chattered about how the crowd clapped for them, some bragging, some faking humility. One girl was still humming from her singing performance, another was juggling apples to show off. I sat in front of the mirror, staring at my own reflection. My palms were sweaty. What am I even doing here? “Hey, Elena.” A girl in sequins leaned over. “What’s your talent again?” I forced a smile. “Painting.” Her brows shot up. “Painting? On stage? In front of everyone?” “Yes.” My voice cracked. She smirked, clearly amused. “Well… good luck with that.” She turned back to her group, whispering loud enough for me to hear. Laughter followed. I gripped the edge of my chair, fighting the heat rising to my face. “You’ll be fine,” another contestant, softer in tone, said from the corner. She was strapping on her dancing sho

  • FORBIDDEN AFFECTION    I’ve always been yours

    Lara’s POV I stared at him, refusing to look away. “Well?” My voice was firmer than I expected. Aiden leaned back, exhaling slowly, like the weight of my question pressed on his chest. His eyes darkened. “Lara… you don’t understand. I want you. god knows I do. But if I let this happen—if I let us happen—I’ll ruin you.” The words stabbed at me. My hands curled into fists on my lap. “Ruin me? Do you even hear yourself?” His jaw clenched. “Yes. Because being with me means your life changes forever. People will judge you, drag your name through the mud, question every move you make. You’ll lose things you don’t even realize you’re holding onto.” I shook my head, my voice rising. “You think my future is so fragile it can shatter just because of you?” “Lara—” “No.” I cut him off, leaning forward, my heart pounding so hard it hurt. “Don’t feed me excuses. My future isn’t something you can ruin. But it will be ruined if you’re not in it.” His lips parted, but I didn’t let him

  • FORBIDDEN AFFECTION    Why are you soo stubborn

    Aiden’s POV I stepped out of my office, Daniel trailing a few respectful steps behind me. As we moved through the corridor, every person we passed straightened instantly, bowing their heads in acknowledgment. They had to. Daniel swung the door to the design department open, and I entered with both hands tucked casually in my pockets. The room shifted the moment they saw me. Surprise flickered across their faces as employees rose from their stations, chairs scraping lightly against the floor. Nathan, the head of the department, hurried over. He bowed quickly, almost breathlessly. I gave a short nod. “I came to see your progress for the anniversary celebration.” “Yes, Sir.” His voice carried both relief and nervous pride. He immediately led me toward the front, pointing out rows of sketches pinned neatly to boards and spread across tables. Finished designs ready for production. Drafts in their final stages. New themes yet to be developed. His words blurred into a steady str

  • FORBIDDEN AFFECTION    Remember to knock next time

    Aiden’s POV The door to my office slid shut behind me, and I finally exhaled. The interview was over. I could breathe again. All that clinging from Miss Evelyn, the questions that felt more like performances than inquiries… it was exhausting. I hadn’t even reached my seat when the door slid open again. She stepped in—Miss Evelyn. Graceful, deliberate, her perfume trailing behind her like a quiet claim. She moved toward me, stopping just inches away. Her eyes held mine, and without hesitation, she took my palms in hers. “I’m so happy, Aiden,” she said softly, her voice smooth, like silk. “I’m lucky—my company is lucky—to team up with Heritage Jewelry House.” She smiled warmly, as if she’d just offered me a gift. Then she leaned slightly closer. “We should celebrate tonight, don’t you think?” I said nothing. Just regarded her quietly. She tilted her head, as if waiting for agreement, before she continued to press the point. Finally, I gave a faint nod. Enough to give he
