작가: Florence
last update 최신 업데이트: 2024-08-25 08:24:48

The wind whipped through my hair as I sat beside Mr. Rossi, watching his profile as he drove. His hands, strong and sure, held mine, one gently guiding the steering wheel, the other warm and comforting in mine. The city lights blurred into streaks of color as he navigated the familiar streets, his focus unwavering, his presence a strange mix of calming and unnerving.

He was an enigma, this man, this boss, this… secret lover. I didn’t know what to call him, what to make of him. He had swept me off my feet, but I was caught in a whirlwind of confusion. Who was he? This man who smiled at the mention of a threat, a bullet aimed at both of us? This man who remained calm and collected while I was terrified, who never once flinched at the danger that had been thrown our way.

My gaze drifted to his lips, the way they curved into a smirk when he spoke, the way they seemed to hold back unspoken words. I needed to know him, to understand the man that had become both my boss and my secret lover,

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 86 - TWO PLUS TWO

    Lena's POVLuca sat bolt upright, his movements sudden and jerky. He stared at me, his expression a mask of disbelief. “What the fuck did you just say?”I couldn’t decipher the emotion in his voice. Was it shock? Fear? Disappointment? The uncertainty sending my brain into overdrive but I forced myself to remain calm. His tone was… strange. I couldn't read him. But I steeled myself, took a deep breath, said 'fuck it' and repeated, "I said, I'm pregnant."He seemed to be stuck on a loop, unable to process the information. He reached out, his hand hovering over my stomach, then gently resting there, his fingers tracing slow circles. He whispered the word "pregnant" like he couldn't quite believe it, like it was some foreign concept he was just now grasping."Pregnant. Pregnant. Pregnant....," He repeated the word over and over, as if trying to make it real, to make it sink in.Then, he looked at me, his eyes wide, searching mine and his hand rubbed my belly "You’re… you’re pregnant… for

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 85 - I LOVE YOU

    Lena's POVLoud banging jolted me awake. My head swam with sleep, and I groaned, pulling the covers tighter over my head. But the relentless pounding persisted, dragging me from the depths of slumber. God forbid, I have a good night rest today that sleep came to me easy and my baby wasn't disturbing. If it is one of the stupid mafia men. I swear I'm killing somebody.I stumbled out of bed, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Who the hell was actually knocking at this hour? I sleepily made my way to the front door, the hardwood cold beneath my bare feet. I stupidly opened the door without even caring to check the peephole, and what I saw was exactly not what I was expecting.Luca.What the hell was he doing here? I didn’t expect to see him anytime soon, even after I called. He didn't pick up. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t this.I yanked the door open, the surprise quickly morphing into a complex mix of anger, relief, and a familiar flutter of my heart......

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 84 - SMOKE AND PAINT: STROKES OF HOPE

    Luca’s POVThe heavy bag groaned under my assault. Jab, cross, hook. Jab, cross, hook. Each punch was an exhale, a release of the pressure building inside me. My knuckles ached, a dull throb that resonated through my forearms and up to my temples. It was a welcome distraction.Boxing, cigarettes, and paints became my strange, twisted trio of coping mechanisms. The ring, the sweat, the brutal rhythm of my fists against leather, the usual puff of smoke, the stroke of the brush. It was a cleaner way to burn the shit out.It’s funny, the things you find yourself turning to when you’re teetering on the brink. I'd box until my knuckles bled, smoke until my lungs ached, or… or paint. The painting was… different. God, how I loved it. And how much I hated it. My father, that cold-hearted bastard, had always sneered at it. 'A waste of time,' he'd called it. 'Unmanly.'He’d effectively beat the passion out of me for years. But my mother… she'd always understood. Always encouraged. She'll say "

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 83 - SLOW BURN

    Lena's POVI finally finished cooking, the aroma of the beef stew filling my penthouse. It smelled like home, like comfort, like a fresh start. I poured myself a bowl, grabbed my plate of rice, a spoon, and settled on the couch. I put on a familiar reality show, something light and funny that wouldn't require too much brainpower, and just enjoyed my meal.The stew was delicious, exactly what I needed. It warmed me from the inside out, nourishing my body and soul. For the first time since leaving Italy, I felt a flicker of hope, a sense of control over my life. This was going to be my new normal, and I would do my best to keep it. Routine, healthy habits, and a focus on my baby. That was the plan.The next morning, I woke up early, the sky still a soft, pre-dawn gray. It was 5:20, and I decided to go for a walk, if not a jog, at least. I didn't feel nice at all. My body was sluggish, my mind foggy, and the lingering anxiety was a constant companion. I needed to move, to clear my hea

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 82 - CRIMSON HANDS: THE MAN SHE DESERVED

    Luca's POVThe plane climbed higher and higher, its lights shrinking against the vast, indifferent expanse of the night sky. I watched it until it was just a faint glimmer, then a shadow, and finally, nothing at all. Lena left me. Everything I thought I knew, everything I'd built, everything I wanted... gone. Everything that had given my life meaning for the past year, just... vanished. It all left with that plane.I was alone again, standing on that cold, empty tarmac, but it wasn't the same as before. Before, I was just empty. Now, I was hollowed out, a shell of a man with a gaping hole where my heart used to be. It was worse than I ever thought.I stood there for what felt like hours, the cold air biting at my skin, but I barely felt it. The chill inside was far more profound. I stared up at the star-dusted sky, as if I could somehow will her back, pull the plane out of the sky and return her to me. But the sky remained silent, indifferent to my silent plea.I clenched my fist an

  • FORBIDDEN INTIMACY   Chapter 81 - LUCA, PLEASE

    Lena's POVLuca wasn't comfortable with all my turning and tossing. I could feel his frustration radiating off him, a palpable tension in the air."Lena, look. I don't know, this shit is fucked up. I apologize, I'll become better… It's just. Fuck!!" He finally exploded, the words laced with desperation."Don't scream that shit in my ear," I snapped more tired than angry, turning away from him again. Every apology, every promise felt hollow, like a performance."Trust me, please," Luca practically begged, his voice cracking with emotion. But I couldn't say anything. What was there to say? The trust had been eroded, chipped away by his inconsistent behavior, and I didn't know how to rebuild it."Le-""I need time, Luca. Please book me a flight right now. I can't stay here much longer." The words were out before I could fully process them. The words felt like ripping off a bandage, painful and necessary. It was a gut reaction, a desperate need to escape, to breathe."Lena…""Luca, pleas
