A few days passed and the anticipation for results to be realised was growing.

The afternoon sun was warm and golden, the kind of light that made everything feel softer around the edges,we were all outside in the backyard — Marbel stretched out on a lounge chair with a book, Jayden lazily tossing a basketball at the hoop on the garage wall, and me sitting on the grass with my phone, half-scrolling through Instagram, it was one of those rare, peaceful days where nothing urgent needed doing.

  • FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin   Chapter 56: Stolen Kisses

    (Brandon’s POV)I leaned back against the locker, arms crossed, watching Nico do his usual thing.He was in full tease mode again, smacking the back of my head lightly while pretending to check my notes. “You still writing like a kindergartener, Brandon? Come on, focus.”Kylie laughed from the side, and Troy just smirked like he knew something I didn’t I rolled my eyes and shoved Nico’s hand away, but I couldn’t hide the small grin tugging at my lips. This had become our routine since the Downhill Resort trip — Nico finding excuses to bother me, me pretending to hate it, and everyone else watching like it was the best entertainment on campus.But today, as Nico leaned in a little too close, his fingers brushing my shoulder while he pointed at a random line in my notebook, something in my chest tightened a memory hit me hard — that night after we got back from the resort the walk the jealousy and the kiss.I swallowed, trying to focus on the present, but the flashback pulled me under a

  • FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin   Chapter 55: Silent Distances and Hidden Sparks

    Weeks slipped by in a strange, uneven rhythm after Jayden was home Marbel return the house felt full again, but the space between Jayden and I had never felt wider.Jayden gave me attitude at every turn, if I greeted him in the morning, he’d barely grunt a response, if our eyes met across the dinner table, he’d look away like I was nothing more than background noise. He avoided my gaze completely, like looking at me for too long might burn him part of me was glad — at least he was respecting the boundaries I’d tried to set. But the truth was, it hurt. Low-key, quietly, in the places I didn’t want to admit being ignored by the person who once held me like I was the only thing that mattered left a hollow ache in my chest that no amount of distraction could fully fill.At school, it was the same cold game he’d walk past me in the hallways without a word, shoulders tense, jaw set. His friends still came around to tease Brandon and Kylie when I wasn’t there, but the moment I showed up, J

  • FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin   Chapter 54: Fractured Lines

    When Dave’s car pulled up to the house, the late afternoon light cast long shadows across the driveway. I could feel Jayden’s presence before I even saw him — that heavy, familiar weight in the air. As I stepped out, waving goodbye to Dave with a small smile, his car turned smoothly and disappeared down the street. I took a deep breath, trying to hold onto the lightness from the night before, but the moment I walked through the front door, it evaporated.Jayden was standing at the top of the staircase like a shadow, arms crossed, eyes locked on the spot where Dave’s car had been. The look he gave me was pure ice — stern, furious, and laced with something darker I couldn’t quite name jealousy? Hurt? I didn’t linger to find out. I ignored him completely, walking straight past without a word, my footsteps echoing louder than they should have in the quiet house.Inside my room, I closed the door firmly and leaned against it for a second, heart still racing from the drive home and the me

    The invitation came on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Dave’s text was simple but made my heart skip “Lunch tomorrow? Just us i know a place you’ll like.”I stared at the message for a long moment, a small smile tugging at my lips. After the chaos at school and the emotional rollercoaster with Jayden, this felt… easy, light like a breath of fresh air. I replied quickly before I could overthink it: “I’d love that.”The next day, I got home from school, rested for a bit, then took a long shower i chose my favorite casual but nice outfit — a crisp white shirt that hugged my shoulders just right, dark jeans, and the cologne Marbel had bought me for my birthday. Nothing too fancy, but enough to feel confident. I checked myself in the mirror, running a hand through my hair for the first time in weeks, I liked what I saw — someone who was starting to stand on his own.I texted Dave that I was ready he offered to pick me up, but I said no. “Just send the location i’ll meet you there.”He sent

  • FORBIDDEN FLAMES ;Touch Me Like A Sin   Chapter 52 Back to Routine

    School resumed three days after we returned from Thailand, and the campus felt both familiar and strangely new.The morning air was crisp with that back-to-school energy — students chatting excitedly in the hallways, lockers slamming, and the faint smell of fresh books and cafeteria coffee. I walked through the gates with a small smile, backpack slung over one shoulder, still carrying a bit of that Phuket glow on my skin the two weeks in Thailand had done something to me I felt lighter. More grounded less like the boy who cried in hidden corners and more like someone ready to carve out his own space.Kylie and Brandon were waiting at our usual spot near the main entrance, waving like we hadn’t seen each other in months.“Troy!” Kylie squealed, pulling me into a tight hug. “You look tanned and happy! Thailand did you good.”Brandon grinned, bumping my shoulder. “Yeah, man. You’re glowing tell us everything again — the beaches, the food, the senior guy. Dave, right?”I laughed, cheeks

    The weeks after our little vacation to downhill resort settled in quick, but Mom was still buried in work. As Chief Surgeon, her schedule was relentless — early mornings, late nights, and emergency calls that pulled her away even on weekends. Dad wasn’t much better, his business booming with new contracts that kept him locked in his office until the early hours, yet Mom kept her promise she worked tirelessly to clear her calendar, and one evening she announced it at dinner with a bright, tired smile.“We’re going to Thailand just as I promised but just for two weeksDad will stay behind to handle things here, but the rest of us are leaving next weekend.”Marbel squealed. Jayden gave a small nod, eyes flicking to me for a second I smiled genuinely, excitement bubbling up despite everything, a family trip. No school pressure, no secrets weighing me down as heavily it felt like the perfect escape.The flight was long but filled with anticipation when we landed in Bangkok, the humid air
