FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin Chapter 43: Beautiful laughs, New Connections
We sang karaoke until our voices went hoarse, played the weirdest group games that had everyone in stitches, devoured plate after plate of grilled food, and danced like nobody was watching under the stars, it was pure, chaotic joy — the perfect beginning to what already felt like the best week and this was just day one we still had six more full of possibilities ahead.I made sure to thank the resort staff personally, they were incredible — smiling, helpful, and never once restricting our energy they let us run wild while keeping everything safe and organized,ditching the fancy hotel rooms for colorful tents right on the beach turned out to be one of the smartest decisions we made there was something magical about falling asleep to the sound of waves instead of air-conditioning.My friends and I shared one tent, the three of us squeezed together on sleeping mats like old times it wasn’t weird at all, it felt safe,comfortable and peaceful we talked nonsense until we drifted off, laught

The manager and staff welcomed us with warm smiles and open arms the moment we stepped off the bus.Downhill Resort was everything the pictures promised and more — it felt like stepping straight into a fairy tale, lush green hills rolled gently toward crystal-clear beaches, palm trees swayed lazily in the breeze, and colorful lanterns hung between wooden cabins, casting a magical glow even in daylight. Everything looked carefully designed to make you forget the outside world existed.“Wow,” Kylie breathed beside me, eyes wide. “This place is unreal.”We followed the staff on a quick tour, oohing and aahing at every turn the main lodge had a huge open-air deck overlooking the sea, the pool area sparkled under the sun, and winding paths led to secluded spots perfect for quiet moments by the time we reached the beach, I was already in love with the place.The wind hit me first — strong, refreshing, carrying the salty scent of the ocean I stopped at the edge of the sand, closed my eyes, a

Very early on Saturday morning, the house stirred with quiet activity, mom had woken up before dawn to prepare a special snack pack for Jayden and Sophia — homemade energy bars, fresh fruits, and some of her famous travel biscuits. She moved around the kitchen with that calm efficiency only she had, and the nanny followed to give assistance even though she was already dressed for another long day at the hospital.When Jayden and Sophia came downstairs with their bags, Mom pulled them both into quick hugs, kissing them lightly on the jaw. “Take care of yourselves,” she said warmly, looking at Sophia with a gentle smile. “And please call us often so we know you’re both okay, if Jayden forgets, you call me directly, alright?”Sophia laughed softly and nodded. “I will, ma’am thank you for everything.”Mom didn’t stay long, she had to rush off to work, but she reminded us all one last time to stay safe before heading out the door, the house felt a little emptier the moment she left.Later
FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin Chapter 40: Unbothered
The holidays settled into a comfortable rhythm at home, even if it felt a little quieter than usual.Mom was barely around these days — being Chief Surgeon meant long hours at the hospital, emergency calls at odd times, and endless meetings. Dad wasn’t much better, his business was booming, so he left early in the morning and often disappeared into his home office the moment he returned, barely pausing to eat despite their crazy schedules, Mom always checked in on us. She’d call from the car, send voice notes reminding the nanny to cook healthy meals, and make sure we were okay it was sweet, even if it left the house feeling a bit empty sometimes.I didn’t mind the quiet it gave me space to breathe, to focus on myself and to be the better version of me I’d promised after that painful conversation with Jayden. No more crying in corners,no more waiting for him to decide my worth i was done being the emotional one. From now on, I was going to be tough, cheerful, and unbothered — no ma

The next evening at home felt warm and alive in that familiar way I’d missed so much since exams began we gathered in the living room after dinner, the soft glow of the lamps casting a cozy light over everything. Mom had brought out her famous snack tray — crispy spring rolls, sweet pastries, and fresh fruit arranged beautifully. The smell alone made my mouth water. We settled in, laughing and chatting like old times, the TV playing a light comedy in the background.While watching, Dad suddenly paused the movie and leaned forward with a grin. “So kids, now that things have slowed down, what’s on your bucket list for the break?”Marbel jumped in first, eyes sparkling with excitement. “Mom was thinking of taking us to Thailand next month and I can’t wait! Thailand, Daddy! Beaches, street food, temples — I’m already packing in my head!”Dad laughed warmly. “You kids never cease to amaze me.” Then he turned to Mom with a fake pout. “Honey, you went ahead and planned a trip with the kids
FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin Chapter 38: Summer Sparks
The exams ended in a beautiful blur, like the final page of a long, exhausting book when the last paper was submitted and the bell rang for the very last time that semester, the entire campus exploded with joy students poured out of halls screaming, hugging, and dancing like they’d just been released from prison. No more serious faces buried in notes no more late-night panic sessions just pure, loud freedom the air felt lighter, the sky brighter, and for the first time in weeks, I could actually breathe.I stood in the middle of it all with Kylie and Brandon, grinning so wide my cheeks hurt. “We survived,” I laughed, pulling them both into a messy group hug.“Survived? We crushed it!” Kylie cheered, spinning around dramatically Brandon just groaned happily, slumping against my shoulder like the weight of the world had finally lifted.That afternoon, with nothing left to do but wait for results which will be released God knows when.We wandered around campus, soaking in the chaotic en
