Chapter 122- Hope?

Author: NIGHT OWL
last update Last Updated: 2025-05-30 00:33:12

I sat in the silence of my office, my gaze was fixed on the phone lying on the mahogany desk, the screen still glowing faintly with George’s message: Call me. It’s urgent.

For a long time, I didn’t move. My fingers twitched, hovering over the screen, wanting to call him back but paralyzed on what the call would bring back.

George only called me concerning one thing. My wife.

Amanda. My wife. Declared dead seven years ago. Buried in my mind like a ghost I’d tried to exorcise. But something about George’s message clawed at the edges of my sanity.

I was no stranger to disappointment. Every lead I chased about Amanda’s disappearance ended in a dead end — a cold room, a broken promise, a fading hope. But this… this felt different. Like a spark in the dark, faint but undeniable.

Still, I couldn’t let myself get carried away. Because every time I’d let hope bloom, it got trampled under the boots of reality. It was like that every single time. When it feels like I'm getting closer to f

I came back to check on the progress of this story, a little disappointed because the plot made FL the second choice, but a little happy because it will reduce FL's horniness, that is if the author makes FL a woman who knows shame :')

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 187- The Beach House

    By the time the plane touched down, my body was buzzing.From the champagne.From the altitude.From him.We didn’t speak much as we got into the waiting car. Not because we didn’t have things to say, but because every look, every brush of his fingers against my thigh said everything for us. The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was loaded. Tension wrapped around us like a thick velvet ribbon, pulling tighter and tighter with every mile.The drive wasn’t long, maybe twenty minutes. But then the road curved, the trees gave way to open blue sky, and suddenly we were at a private dock where a sleek speedboat was already bobbing, engine humming low like it had been waiting just for us.“A boat?” I asked, brows raised.Lorenzo just smirked and handed me a life jacket. “Trust me.”God, that smirk should be illegal.The ride over was fast and thrilling, the salty breeze whipping through my hair, the ocean glittering around us like sapphires had been scattered across the waves. Lorenzo sto

    I hadn’t even made it halfway up the stairs when I heard the sound of his footsteps behind me.Slow. Steady. Intentional.I didn’t turn.I didn’t have to.“Where do you think you’re going?” Lorenzo’s voice curled down my spine, low and dark and utterly male.I stopped on the landing, lips twitching. “Back to my room.”He took two more steps, closing the distance between us. I could feel the heat of his body behind mine, the restrained tension rolling off him like thunderclouds.“You’re not going back to your room,” he said.I raised a brow and turned halfway. “No?”“No.” His jaw was tight, his eyes blazing. “You’re coming with me.”My pulse stuttered. “Excuse me?”He leaned in, breath brushing my cheek. “Pack a bag. We’re leaving.”I blinked. “Leaving? Where are we going?”He smiled—slow, dangerous. “Have you forgotten? I promised to take you somewhere for the weekend.”My stomach flipped. That surprise trip. Right.I scoffed and rolled my eyes. “You and your stupid surprises.”But I

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 185- Am I Forgiven

    She parted her legs like a challenge. And I dropped to my knees like a man starved. My hands found her thighs—warm, soft, trembling—and my mouth hovered just inches from the place that haunted my every waking thought. That flimsy little scrap of lace barely covered anything, and as I peeled it down, I heard the faintest hitch in her breath. The kind of sound that made my cock throb with need. She watched me with heavy-lidded eyes, lips parted, one hand tangled in my hair before I even touched her. I kissed the inside of her thigh first. Then again, higher. I wanted her begging—but I wanted to worship her, too. Then I finally reached her center. And fuck. She was already wet. I licked a slow, deliberate stripe from bottom to top, savoring the way she trembled. My tongue circled her clit before I sucked it into my mouth, and she gasped—her body arched just slightly off the bed. “Lorenzo…” My name on her lips sounded like absolution. I kept going, tongue pressing, flicking, ta

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 184- Show Me

    The whiskey burned my throat, but it didn’t touch the fire already churning in my chest.I was on my third glass, eyes fixed on the front door like it held all the answers. The clock mocked me with every tick. 10:03 p.m. Then 10:47. Then 11:12.Still nothing.She hadn’t come back.And worse—she wasn’t answering my texts.I stared at the last one I sent, thumb hovering like maybe the words would morph into something more persuasive."Just let me know you’re safe. Please."Nothing.By 11:59, I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood abruptly, my patience wearing thin. "Carter!" I barked, and my head of security appeared in seconds."Yes, sir?""Get me the surveillance footage from earlier. I want to see who Emily left with."He hesitated for a beat, just long enough to piss me off."Now."He nodded and left. Less than five minutes later, he returned with his tablet."Sir... she left at 9:21 p.m."He turned the screen toward me.And there it was.My heart stopped.She was walking out the gate

    The dress felt like a second skin—tight, black, dangerous. Like armor. I didn’t wear it for Lorenzo. I told myself that more than once as I stared at my reflection in the mirror before leaving. I wore it for me. Because I needed to feel powerful again. The second I stepped out of the house, I regretted everything. My chest was tight. My thoughts were loud. And the image of Lorenzo—his eyes, his voice, the pleading way he had said my name—was seared behind my eyelids like a goddamn brand. I hated him for that. For being the only person who could shatter me and stitch me back together in a single breath. Just as I stepped out of the gate I saw the car pull up. Alessandro. He stepped out, tall and refined, with that easy charm he wore like a designer suit. And despite the emotional chaos storming inside me, I managed a small, grateful smile. "Thanks for inviting me," I said, sliding into the passenger seat. He turned to me once we were on the road, his eyes scanning my face for

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 182- Give Me Another Chance

    She looked like a sin I’d spend the rest of my life atoning for.My breath caught in my throat, mouth dry, brain completely blank.The way she stood there—chin tilted, eyes sharp, body poised like she could cut me with just one word—yeah, I was screwed.And I deserved every second of it.Her voice sliced through the air again, cool and lethal.“What are you doing here, Lorenzo?”I swallowed hard, trying to piece my thoughts together. “I… I came to apologize.”She arched one perfectly shaped brow, amusement flickering across her expression for a fraction of a second. Then she laughed. But it wasn’t the sweet kind—the one I loved, the one that made my chest feel lighter.No.This laugh was cold. Dismissive.Wounded. “Apologize?” she repeated, stepping fully into the hallway, forcing me to back up or get run over. “That’s rich.”“Emily—”“You practically treated me like a fucking nobody, Lorenzo. Like I had no right to even breathe in your presence. I said I was sorry for being in that
