She shouldn’t have been here.

She should’ve respected the fucking boundary.

But she didn’t.

And now all I could do was stand in the center of the room she’d invaded, fists clenched at my sides like if I held them tight enough, maybe I could keep myself from falling apart.

I’d told her—explicitly. No one was allowed in this room.

Not the staff. Not even me, most days.

But her? Emily?

She was the last person I expected to find here, touching Amanda’s things, staring at the photo like it held the answers to questions she had no business asking.

I turned, slow and mechanical, my jaw locked as I stared at the dresser where her fingerprints still lingered.

Amanda’s brush. Amanda’s perfume bottle. Amanda’s scarf draped over the corner of the mirror like she’d just stepped out and forgotten it.

Now tainted.

Now touched by hands that weren’t hers.

I sucked in a shaky breath and exhaled through my nose.

It didn’t help.

Nothing helped.

The walls felt smaller. The air, heavier. Every object in th

  • 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

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 181- Guilt and Regret

    I stood in front of her door like a goddamn coward.Knuckles raised. Breath held. Heart racing.But I didn’t knock.I couldn’t.Not after the way I’d spoken to her. Not after the fire in her eyes as she stepped out of that room with tears threatening to fall but too proud to let them win.I’d seen the damage in her expression. The crack that hadn’t been there before. And I knew it wasn’t just disappointment. I hadn’t hurt her feelings—I’d shattered something deeper than that.Trust.And once trust is gone, words don’t fix shit.So I stood there like an idiot. Hoping maybe the silence would bring me clarity. Maybe I’d knock. Maybe she’d open the door. Maybe we’d talk like adults. But then I heard a quiet shuffle from inside—her footsteps—and I panicked.She didn’t want to see me. I didn’t deserve to be seen.I turned and walked away.Each step felt like I was peeling skin off my own damn bones.By the time I made it back to my office, my chest was tight enough to explode. The guilt cla

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 179- Get Out!

    “I—I didn’t…” The words tumbled from my lips, broken and half-formed, barely audible over the rush of blood in my ears. But he didn’t move. Lorenzo stood in the doorway like a statue carved from stone and fury, his hand still on the doorknob, his eyes locked on mine with a kind of betrayal I’d never seen in him before. It was worse than rage—it was devastation twisted into disgust. “I asked you a question,” he said, voice low but lethal. “What the fuck are you doing in here?” My mouth opened again, but nothing came out. My throat felt like it had been scraped raw from the inside, my body frozen in place like I was standing in the middle of a crime scene—and maybe I was. “I—I didn’t mean to—” “Didn’t mean to?” he cut me off with a bitter laugh, stepping into the room fully now, his presence swallowing the space whole. “What part of no one is allowed in this room didn’t you understand, Emily?” I flinched at the way he said my name. Cold. Sharp. Not the way he usually said it wh

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 178- The Ghost

    The door clicked shut behind me with a softness that didn’t match the storm unraveling in my chest.I took one cautious step forward, then another, my bare feet sinking into the thick cream-colored rug as my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting. The curtains were drawn tight, the room suspended in a sort of timeless stillness—untouched, unmoved.It was beautiful.Simple but elegant. A grand four-poster bed sat in the center, the sheets crisp, the pillows fluffed, everything immaculately placed. A soft scent lingered in the air—something faintly floral with a trace of vanilla. Feminine. Familiar in a way I couldn’t explain.This was a master bedroom.But not just any bedroom.I knew that the moment I turned toward the nightstand and saw it.A photograph.Framed in silver.The woman in it was breathtaking.Blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders in soft waves, her skin glowing under the sun, green eyes bright with laughter as she looked directly at the camera. There was something magnetic

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 177- The Door

    Lorenzo’s lips crushed against mine the moment he climbed up the bed, tasting me like he couldn’t get enough—his tongue tangling with mine, deep and greedy, coaxing a moan straight from my chest.God, I melted into him.My fingers curled into his hair, and I kissed him back with everything I had left—every drop of fear, every flicker of rage, every ounce of need buried inside me. His hand slid along my jaw, steady, grounding, and when he finally pulled back, his eyes searched mine—dark and burning and impossibly soft all at once.Without a word, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest.I didn’t resist.I buried my face in his neck, inhaling the familiar scent of cedar and something uniquely him. My body curled against his like it always knew where to go.Safe.That’s how he made me feel.Even when everything else was spiraling.Lorenzo pressed a kiss to my hair, a gentle brush of lips that made my chest ache with tenderness. I felt him exhale slowly, his breath sti
