Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 4 Drama Queen
Alex’s P.O.V. Murder! I want to murder my stepsister. I’m still fuming from last night. Stella—my ill-mannered step-sister—threw my stereo into the pool like it was nothing. Who does that? That girl is out of her mind. Last night, I planned to take revenge on her for ruining my shoes. I didn’t want to let her sleep in peace, but she again did something—for which I want to kill her more now. My arm still stings where she bit me. I can’t believe she actually did that. I didn’t expect her to get so... wild. Who does that? Is she a kid or what? Now, I’m not going to leave a single chance to piss her off. I won’t let her live in peace in my house for even a single second. She doesn’t know I’m Alex Blackwood, and I won’t tolerate the way she is behaving with me. She has to pay for her deeds—for spoiling my shoes, for throwing my stereo, and for biting me. I sit at the dining table the next morning, glaring at Stella who sits across me, glancing at me with a stupid smile on he

Stella’s P.O.V.Pain in the ass!My stepbrother is the one. I know he’s deliberately trying to piss me off. But I’m not one to back down. I’ll also leave no chance to annoy him.I walk through the crowded corridors of my new college, trying to find my classroom. Alex is in the same class as mine, but how could I have asked him to direct me to the classroom when we spent the entire car ride bickering instead?What the fuck does he think of himself? Mr. Grumpy, with his stupid muscles and his tattoos, acts like the world revolves around him.“Stella, just stop thinking about him and find your class.” I chide myself because I can’t be late on my first day. Already, I’m entering college halfway through the semester. The last thing I need is to make a bad impression.Although it’s usually easy for me to make friends because of my talkative nature, I still feel a bit nervous. After all, most people have already formed their groups, and I’m the new girl, the outsider.I continue walking, dod

Alex’s P.O.V.“Alex, you better behave with Stella. She is my friend now.” Zoe comes over to my seat with Sky after the first class.I was already frustrated because of Stella’s presence in the classroom and now Zoe telling me she made Stella her friend. Fucking why?“You met her today only, you made her your friend. I can’t believe it.” I shake my head in disbelief at her.“And you? What did you do? You made her your enemy before even meeting her.” Zoe chides me, making me more frustrated.Sky intrudes, “Alex, since Stella will be with you a lot at college and your place, try to get along with her.”I clench my jaw, glancing between Zoe and Sky. They don’t get it. They have no idea how much Stella is pissing me off.“Get along with her?” I scoff, crossing my arms. “She is the daughter of a woman who replaced my mother.”Sky gives me a pointed look, and I know what he’s going to say before the words even leave his mouth. “Maybe that’s why you treat her like crap, Alex. You don’t even

Alex’s P.O.V.Two Weeks LaterIt’s been two weeks since Stella has been living in the same house as me and going to the same college. And somehow, every single day, she finds new ways to test my patience. Since she entered my life, I haven’t been able to concentrate anywhere. I don’t know why, but she’s driving me insane, and it frustrates me even more. Maybe it’s because she’s always around. Maybe I think she and her mother are after my father’s money, or maybe it’s something more—something I don’t want to admit.The attraction.I clench my fists at the thought. No. She’s off-limits. My dad’s remarried her mother, for fuck’s sake. She’s practically my stepsister. She’s forbidden.That’s probably why I can’t stop picking fights with her. The more I feel this stupid pull towards her, the more I push her away.During basketball practice, I’m trying to focus, trying to keep my head in the game. The ball is in my hands as I dribble across the court, sweat running down my face. The thud o

Alex’s P.O.V. At night, I come home, my thoughts still a mess from everything that happened with Stella at basketball practice. I can’t get her out of my head, and it’s driving me insane. As I pass by the dining room, I hear voices. It's Stella’s voice, and I stop. She’s sitting at the table, but she’s not alone. One of the maids is there, wobbling slightly as she tries to serve Stella her dinner. “Are you okay?” Stella asks, her voice filled with concern. The maid, looking pale and unsteady on her feet, gives a weak smile. “Yes, ma’am. I’m fine.” “You don’t look fine to me,” she responds, pushing the maid’s hand away from the serving dish. “I’ll serve myself. You need to take a break.” The maid shakes her head. “No, ma’am, it’s my duty—” Stella cuts her off in a firm but kind tone. “I’ve got it. I’m used to doing things on my own, anyway. And besides, I think you haven’t eaten dinner yet—that’s probably why you’re feeling dizzy. Come on, sit down with me and have something to e

Stella’s P.O.V.I walk into the classroom, still trying to process everything that happened with Alex. The way he acted this morning—it was so out of character. No sarcastic remarks, no grumpy attitude… just calm and polite. And the way he poured me juice? What the hell was that about?I spot Zoe and Selena sitting near the back, chatting and laughing. I head over to them, dropping my bag on the table as I plop down in the seat next to Zoe.“Hey, you look deep in thought.” Selena raises an eyebrow.“I’ve had a weird morning,” I admit, rubbing my temples. “And it’s all because of Alex.”“What did he do this time?” Zoe asks, leaning closer, and Selena waits for my answer with curiosity.They must be thinking that Alex did something to annoy me again because every morning, I walk into the classroom complaining about him. However, they have no idea what actually happened this morning.I shake my head, still baffled. “He didn’t show me his usual grumpiness for the first time since I moved

Alex’s P.O.V.I’m returning home with Stella sitting beside me, and I can’t take the image of her out of my mind. On the court, she had tied her shirt around her waist, revealing her toned stomach and the way her tank top clung to her body. The sight was captivating, and I found myself struggling to concentrate on the road.Usually, Stella dresses in long dresses or jeans and tops that cover her up. I don’t know why she covers herself so much. She has such a sexy figure.Control yourself, Alex. Don’t forget, she is your stepsister. Stop thinking about her body and concentrate on the road.It’s shocking that, for the first time, I wasn’t angry at seeing someone else winning. Instead, I felt happy to see Stella jumping with joy after winning the basketball match.God! Seriously, there is something wrong with me.“I never thought that I would say this to you, but thank you, Alex. I enjoyed it a lot today.” As she places her hand on my bare arm, I freeze. Her mere touch sends a jolt of el

Stella’s P.O.V.As Alex pulls into a parking lot at Rockefeller Center, I glance out the window and then back at him. “Alex, I visited here with Zoe and Selena last week. I was expecting you to take me somewhere else.” I blurt out.He raises an eyebrow. “Oh, really? Well, I guess my tour is off to a bad start, then.”I smirk, leaning back in my seat. “Not bad, just... predictable.”He turns off the engine and faces me. “Trust me, I have a few surprises up my sleeve. Just because you’ve been here doesn’t mean you’ve done it in my way.”I shoot him a sceptical look. “You’re really hyping this up. It better be good.”He chuckles, stepping out of the car. “Just wait.”I follow him as we walk through the familiar plaza. It’s still crowded, even early in the morning, but Alex seems to know exactly where he’s going.“Come on.” He gestures for me to follow as we head toward a line of food stalls I hadn’t noticed the last time I was here. I glance around, half expecting him to drag me into som

Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 41 Second Chance At Life
James’s P.O.V.I'm standing outside the operating room, distraught, as Selena is fighting for her life inside. I thought I had saved her today, but I never expected this. Now, all I can do is wait for the doctor to come out and tell me she’s okay—that she survived. I’m constantly praying for her life. She took that bullet for her father, the same man who never wanted her, and now I see the guilt in Denver and his wife’s eyes. They finally realise after her sacrifice how much she loved them and how little they valued her. They fucking deserve that guilt. But what happened to Selena, she didn’t deserve it. If something happens to her, I don't know what I'll do. God, please make her okay. You can't take away the only person who brings light to my life, not like this. I can’t live in a world where she doesn’t exist.I'm pacing restlessly outside her room, and my heart races with panic. She keeps flashing in my mind—her body covered in blood, her eyes closing as she lay on my lap.Fuck!
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 40 Stay With Me
Selena’s P.O.V.I'm trapped, feeling helpless. My wrists burn with the pain of tight ropes as I’m tied to the bed. I struggle, yanking against my restraints, but they only dig deeper into my skin, causing me pain. I'm so fucking scared, praying that God will send James to save me. My eyes well up with tears, but I squeeze them shut, picturing his face. The thought of him gives me strength. I won’t let the tears fall. Not in front of these sick bastards.Two monsters are torturing me like hell, but I am not weak. I’ll fight them until my last breath, even though I’m scared. No matter how much it hurts or how terrified I am, I won’t submit to them.Luther climbs on top of me, his dark eyes are filled with hunger, lust, and cruelty. My heart pounds in terror. His lips curl into an evil smile as he touches my cheek. I draw back in disgust, turning my head away, and struggling harder against the restraints. I tremble in panic as I realise what he is about to do.No! God, please save me.
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 39 Helplessness
James’s P.O.V.As soon as the call ends, I start the car, gripping the wheel tightly. Denver slides into the passenger seat with fear etched in every line of his face. Just as I pull onto the road, his phone rings again.My heart almost stops beating.Is it Max?Did he send the video he told about?I pull over to the side of the road. I really feel like I can’t breathe. Denver’s hands tremble as he opens the message. His face turns white and his lips part in horror. Every muscle in my body tenses as I lean over, eyes locked on the screen.The video begins to play.Selena is tied to a chair, her wrists bound behind her, ankles strapped to the chair’s legs. Her head hangs low, dark hair falling over her face, tangled and messy.But the sight that shatters me is the crimson streak running from the corner of her lips—a trail of blood smudged against her delicate skin. Her cheek is swollen and a dark bruise forms just below her eye.I grip the steering wheel tightly in a fury. Her pain m

James’s P.O.V.Liar.She is a fucking liar.It has been eight days since she left my life and one week since that kiss.When I first saw her kissing another man right in front of me, I believed it—I believed she had moved on in just one night. I was hurt, broken, angry, and frustrated. But then I realised something. That’s exactly what she wanted. She wanted me to hate her, to walk away from her, to move on.But I won’t.I know she was acting that day because I saw the love in her eyes when she was with me. I have felt it. The same love I have for her.She is running away from me because of her father. She wants me to forget her. But that’s never going to happen. I can’t forget about her. No one can make me forget her because I saw my future with her, and I will do anything to make that future a reality.I won’t give up on us so easily, Selena. I know you want me as much as I want you. From the moment your lips touched mine, you became mine. And we are meant to be together—forever.I
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 37 He Hates Me
Selena’s P.O.V.Pain.My heart is heavy with unbearable pain. Today, I pushed James away from me forever, and it hurts more than I ever imagined.I kissed someone else when all I wanted was to run to him, to hold him so tightly that nothing and no one could separate us. He is the one who makes me feel special, the one who gives me the attention I have craved my entire life. The way he takes care of me stole my heart completely.When I saw James standing at the entrance of my college, I knew I had to do something to make him stop following me and move on with his life. That's why I kissed that guy in front of him.But the moment our lips met, my heart shattered into pieces. Letting another man feel my lips, when the only man I ever wanted was James, felt like a betrayal.But now… now James will hate me to the core.That’s what I wanted, right?This is what’s best for me.I can’t disappoint my father by going back to James.I grab the glass kept in front of me and gulp down the alcohol
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 36 Love Hurts
James’s P.O.V.It’s been two days since Selena left my life, and last night she left my house too—she’s vanished from my life completely. For the past two days, she has completely ignored me, as if we never had anything between us. It hurts like someone is stabbing a knife into my heart again and again.I was yearning to hold her, kiss her, touch her—just once in the last two days. But I couldn’t. She’s running away from me, and I can’t force her to stay.For the first time in my entire life, I felt like spending the rest of my life with a woman, and now she’s running away from me.Why, God? Why?I miss her so damn much that my body aches for her touch, for her warmth. My eyes long to see her face, her smile—the smile that melts my heart every time I see it. Without her, I feel like I’m losing myself. I try to numb the pain by locking myself in my room and drinking, but nothing helps.I get up from the stool, grab my keys from the table, and make up my mind—I need to see her, even if
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 35 I Will Wait For Eternity
James’s P.O.V. Unbearable pain. I feel unbearable pain in my chest for letting Selena go, even after knowing that she needs me like I need her. Because I don’t want to make things difficult for her, I don’t want to force her to choose me instead of her parents. I never want to push her for anything. Now she's gone from my room, from my life, and I feel completely incomplete without her. I get up from the bed and sit on the mini bar stool in my room before starting to drink directly from the bottle. I feel a type of emptiness that I've never felt before.The bitter liquid burns down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I take another sip, hoping it will numb the hollow feeling inside me, but nothing happens. Her voice, her touch, the way she looked at me with those eyes full of unspoken words—I can still feel it all. And yet, she’s gone. I let her go. Tears stream down my face as I slam the bottle onto the counter before gripping the edge as I struggle t

Selena’s P.O.V.But I can’t tell him that I love him. I’m too scared.What if I tell him, and everything gets ruined? What if my parents hate me?No. No. I can’t bear to see the disappointment in their eyes. This can never happen. No matter what, I’ll never let my parents hate me. If I have to destroy my own happiness, I’ll do it for them—because my only goal is to please them and finally receive their love. I can’t let anyone come between me and that goal, not even James.I take a deep breath and say, controlling my emotions. “ I don’t care what you feel. Let me go, James. I told you from the beginning—we have no future. I never gave you false hope.”My voice sounds foreign to me.His grip loosens.Now is my chance to leave. He won’t stop me after hearing my ruthless lie—that I don’t care about what he feels.But the truth is, I do.I feel his pain as if it were my own. And I know—I’m breaking his heart.I’m breaking mine too.And God… I will never forgive myself for hurting him.Bu
Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series Chapter 33 I Love Him
Selena’s P.O.V.The next night, I lie in bed with James in his room, lost in thoughts about us. We’ve grown so close recently that my heart aches at the mere thought of leaving his mansion and returning to my parents’ home. I know it’s going to be the hardest goodbye of my life.But right now, with the few days I have left with him, I want to live them to the fullest.I’m wearing James’s shirt, and his face is buried in my chest, his muscular arm wrapped securely around my waist. I’ve never felt so safe in anyone’s arms before. Why can’t I keep this man forever?I play with his hair as he lies silently on my chest—his “softies,” as he calls them. I feel his warm breath on my skin, seeping through the open buttons of the shirt. It comforts me so much that I could live my entire life like this… and even die like this. But I can’t. And the pain of that truth is unbearable.He lifts his head and notices the sadness in my eyes. “Hey, where are you lost when you’re right here with me?”“Now
