KAYLA POV

I was lost in the world of uncertainty as I slumped to my bed. It seems like I left the physical world to a world that I can't understand. I had the same emotions as a mother who lost his only child.

"Kayla, Kayla!" The whispering I heard became more paramount as I slowly became conscious of the real world.

"Don't take it so hard on yourself", Lucas said as he came over and sat by my side.

I stood up gently and sat by his side. Trying hard to compose, I failed as I sobbed silently. Lucas's hands stretch out and cuddle me to himself. My head involuntarily leaned on his shoulder as he patted me repeatedly.

"When will I get my secure life again as a free person?" I asked Lucas between sobs.

"Surely you will have your secured life back. Let's just wait for Detective Joe to trace the suspects and I'll personally bring them to book"

"I'd personally love to see this person. The pain I've encountered these few days is what I can't let off the hook" I said resolutely.

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 046

    KAYLA POV I woke up to see luxury at my disposal, as I wasn't in my apartment as I used to be. The reality I found myself in was that I was in an enormous bedroom on a king-sized bed. State-of-the-art facilities were installed around the room, and I felt it was heaven on Earth. If my memory serves me right, I remembered sleeping in this room while Lucas and my mother slept in their room. We left the dining hall after their conversation following dinner. My mind wandered off into the alleged activities in their room, but I shook it off instantly. Since it was a weekday, I still had to be at the company today. So, I stood up and navigated my way around the mansion to prepare. My first visit to this mansion gave me a blueprint of the house's major rooms. Meanwhile, my mom was still with Lucas in his room. I didn't want to interfere with anything they were doing, so I focused on my preparation phase. "Good morning, ma'am," I heard greetings from behind, and it turned out to be o

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 045

    KAYLA POVThe morning felt strange as I couldn't feel myself at the moment. It was as if I got disconnected from something, but the reality is that I don't know what. The betrayal of Hunter still floods my mind as I have to live with it for the moment. I didn't feel as sleepy as I used to, so I progressed into the day's activities. Preparing to work was my top priority as I got dressed and left for work. In no time, I was at the gate of Benta's & Co. I settled the cabman and moved towards the reception hall. The usual person wasn't in his position. There, I kinda miss Hunter amidst the betrayal. I couldn't think about it much because the production team is my priority. They have to create custom-made jewelry for an already signed contract. The work of the Human Resources department also temporarily dwells with me since a new head hasn't been appointed. A lot of work bulged within me as I had to deliver my best while maintaining my mental health. Since I couldn't get my usual greet

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 44

    KAYLA POV He stood there looking repentant, but I saw something else. All I saw was a beast in sheep's clothing who had deceived me for years. From my foolish perspective, I had fallen for the tricks all these years. "Please, I am so sorry for causing all this trauma to you," Lucas said as he sat down, looking up at me. "But why?" "After the declined proposal, my heart was still beating for you, but you didn't notice it. I tried to make you understand, but it was of no avail," he paused and looked at me. "But the moment that broke my heart was when I saw you with the CEO." I froze as I heard that statement. During my relationship with Lucas, we agreed that it would be under the nose of the general public, or my mother in particular. But I didn't realize that Hunter had seen what we tried to hide. "I was instantly green with envy and jealousy that I acted out in a bad way. I am so sorry that my actions turned out this way, affecting you afterwards. Please forgive me," he

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 043

    KAYLA POV The name "Hunter" is one of the names I least expected to be this mastermind. Since I met him during our interview, he checked up on me countless times. Due to this complicated affair with Lucas, I would have said yes to his proposal. Countless thoughts ran through my mind and pierced my subconscious. I ran as fast as I could to locate a restroom. I finally found one at the end of the corridor and moved in swiftly. I locked the door from inside and sat on the toilet slab, crying. The emotions had been caged inside since the day I saw the installed cameras in my apartment. I couldn't imagine that the person who had been with me could perpetrate this scandal. It was so heavy that my head felt too heavy to lift. His sweet words and daily greetings blinded me to the truth of his real personality. Was Her Royal Highness merely a mockery? Who exactly is he? The questions kept coming. I wept loudly, reminiscing about this sudden betrayal. Meanwhile, my mother and Lucas we

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 042

    KAYLA POV A slight headache woke me as I found myself in my childhood fantasy room. I was immediately taken back to several years ago when my father would open the door to greet his princess. Even if I was fully awake, I would pretend to be asleep so that he would come in properly. Those days were behind me, and I woke up to the current reality. He was no longer here, and I had to live with it. I clearly remembered that Lucas and my mother had gone into the same room while I opted for mine. Probably, they had their own moments. After my father's death, my mother had become this classic flirt. Whatever happened there, I decided not to care. A gentle knock interrupted my world of imagination. The door slowly opened as Lucas stepped inside. "Hey, you are awake," Lucas said as he strolled into the room. "Yeah, I just woke up not long ago," I replied, my sleepy eyes struggling to stay open. "We'll be going back to the station, and your mother will tag along," he a

  • Forbidden affairs with my stepfather    CHAPTER 041

    KAYLA POVI couldn't expect that the property agent whom I least expected would be involved in this case. From my meeting with him, he displayed his kind and sweet personality which I thought was a spec. There I saw the true mode of character impersonation. "We'll do this the hard way or in an easy way. Your cooperation will decide it" Detective Joe said as he returned his handgun to his pocket. "So be it", Mike responded as he poured spit in our direction amidst the pain. Detective Joe rushed out at him but I held his hands. From that act, I guess Detective Joe was at his loose end. The action from Mike earlier made Lucas rush out of the car. With that, I was already stressed as I felt its weight on my shoulder. "Why did you do this and who is your accomplice?" Detective Joe asked as he dragged Mike from the ground. "Kiss my ass to get such information", he said while laughing maniacally. The echoes of that laugh pierced deep into my soul as I tried to process reality. During t
