ZANES’s POV.

No. I didn’t hear right. Every sense in my body rang, and immediately, I stepped two steps back because I wasn’t sure of myself. I didn’t trust myself or what I was going to do if I stood close to her any minute longer and she looked at me like she was starving.

No. Absolutely not. She was drunk, and whatever she was asking for right now wasn’t something I was going to take advantage of.

She frowned at me. “I hate you,” she said, and I smiled genuinely because she didn’t mean that

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 58: The other side.

    ALESSIA’s POV. The first thing I noticed was his voice.“My girlfriend.”It shouldn’t have made my chest tighten.Not after everything we’d been through. Not after the countless times he’d called me that like it was the most natural thing in the world.But standing there under the harsh lights of the Blacktop, with the smell of gasoline and smoke hanging in the air, hearing him introduce me to the red-haired girl beside him made everything feel different.I stared at him.Zane stared back.For a few seconds, neither of us moved.Then Kendra’s fingers tightened around my arm. “Definitely looks worse in person,” she said, and I swallowed and looked at her, then back at the redhead. She looked better in person. More beautiful. The kind of girl Zane should actually be seen with. Not a pathetic girl like me who always bothered him.My heart clenched as I looked around them. Drinks and cigarettes were littered across the car hood. I didn’t think I’d actually meet him smiling and happy. I m

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 57: Out of sight.

    ZANE’s POV. I stared at my phone when Alessia’s next text came in. Apparently, she almost didn’t read my mood through the text, or she liked pretending there was nothing wrong with me when, in real terms, everything was fucking wrong with me.LESSY: What are you doing?What was I doing? Lying on my bed, thinking about how big of a mess I was in. I sighed and walked to the window to light a cigarette.ME: Practice. Why?LESSY: Are you coming over later?I wanted to say yes. Because it had been fucking long since we spent time together, but my fingers had a mind of their own.ME: Busy with stuff.I replied, and three dots popped up by the corner, then disappeared again for like five minutes. I waited, and when nothing came in, I threw my phone on the bed and inhaled from the cigarette.Her text came in as I came out of the bathroom.LESSY: Okay. Have a good day.Her message tugged at my chest, and I couldn’t understand why that simple message carried so much meaning. I sighed, turned o

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 56: Growing distance.

    ALESSIA’s POV. It’s been two days since I ended the fucking call on Zane, but he still acted like he wasn’t the least bit bothered or, as usual, I was overreacting. He didn’t call after that. Which pissed me off so badly that I wanted to walk to his house and smack his head against a flower vase.I sighed as I turned on the bed, facing up and looking at the ceiling. This stuff with Zane had been a big roller coaster since we started. It was crazy with the on and off, and I didn’t think my heart was made for that. He was probably tired. The race had been a big deal to him. Maybe I was making something out of nothing.I scoffed. Tired. For two fucking days. That wasn’t tired, it was distance. Kendra would have said I should call him, but fuck it. I ended the call on an angry note, and he knew fucking well I was pissed. He probably just didn’t want to call.My laptop made a sound, and I quickly stood to check it. My senior editor.An assignment for the university paper. I groaned becaus

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 55: Old habits.

    ZANE’s POV. “We’re going to the Blacktop tonight,” Mason said the minute he stepped into the house and threw his bag on the couch beside me.Jace followed behind him, dangling his keys and smiling widely at me.“Come on. You coming or what? It’s been fucking long and the guys over there miss you.” Mason tried to convince me, and Jace snickered.“Guys or girls?” the idiot said, and I sneered at him.“He has a fucking girlfriend, Jace,” Mason reminded him, but I could also detect the humour in his tone, and I just laughed.The Blacktop was an abandoned industrial stretch of an old road outside campus. It was like a fucking hour to get there, and it was somewhat famous for the illegal races that happened at night. Something Jace and I were incredibly fucking part of. And Mason? Just there to cheer us on.And they were right. Ever since Alessia, I hadn’t even thought about the place.“So? Don’t keep us waiting. Besides, there’s a high stake on the money tonight,” Jace said, and I raised

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 54: Compromising.

    ALESSIA’s POV. I thought I didn’t hear right, but the look on his face told me enough that he hadn’t even said it jokingly. I stayed quiet for a while. I had a lot of fucking things to say to ease the tension between us, but I didn’t because I suddenly realized he meant it.He wanted marriage. Maybe not marriage exactly, but something else in the future. He was either scared of it or he just didn’t like the idea. I sighed because there was more to him than he let me see. The more I thought I understood him, the more he made it hard for me not to doubt myself again.I smiled. “So just to be clear, you want to marry me, but the thought of it makes you miserable?” I asked with a little chuckle and shook my head. He gave me that look that said he didn’t find it funny at all.I snorted and stopped myself from rolling my eyes. So much for trying to ease the mood.“You really love my surname that much, huh?” he asked with a cocky smirk, and I frowned at him.“Who the hell do you think you a

  • Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me    Chapter 53: I do.

    ALESSIA’s POV. There was a lot this man in my kitchen could do that I didn’t know about. One of them included cooking while looking so perfectly relaxed and handsome while doing it. He was cooking creamy chicken pasta. My favorite.And while it was my favorite, I didn’t have much of an idea how to make it. I’d seen Kendra and Adrian doing it a lot of times, but I’d just hung around during those days because I couldn’t wait to eat.Wait a minute. How did he know it was my favorite? I cornered him at the kitchen island and folded my arms across my chest. His eyes settled far too long on my chest before returning to my eyes, his head quirking slightly.“How did you know it was my favorite?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.“I know a lot more about you than you think. Don’t dwell too much on it or you’ll make it awkward,” he replied, and I just stared at him.Awkward? Awkward was him in my kitchen, acting all domestic. His mouth curved into a tiny smile. “You’re looking too much, Lessy
