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
HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION Chapter 176- Better?
I stared at the phone like it had grown fangs.He was here.Liam was in Italy.In the same country. On the same damn continent. Breathing the same air as me.My stomach twisted into a thousand knots, and something sour crawled up the back of my throat.I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t think.The silence stretched, thick and unbearable.“Em?” he said again, softer this time. “Don’t hang up. Please. I know I’m the last person you want to hear from, but—”Without a second thought I ended the call and threw the phone onto the bed like it had just burned my hand.My whole body trembled. I stared down at my fingers like they didn’t belong to me. What the hell just happened?How dare he?How could he think, for even a second, that I’d want anything to do with him?Not after everything he did. Not after the way he shattered me and left me bleeding with a smile on his face.And now he was showing up like some lost soul on a romantic pilgrimage? Did he think this was some kind of movie?No.I was
HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION Chapter 175- We're Done!
“Really?” I breathed, eyes wide, lips still tingling from his kiss.Lorenzo nodded, that signature smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “I need to spoil my woman.”God, the way he said it… my woman—like I was some rare, precious thing only he was allowed to touch.My insides fluttered.I kissed him again—quick, greedy. “Where are we going?”“It’s a surprise,” he murmured, brushing a thumb across my lower lip.I groaned dramatically, tipping my head back. “You know I hate surprises.”“That’s exactly why I’m doing it,” he said, voice smug.I rolled my eyes and pushed off his lap, only to feel his palm connect with my ass in a swift, stinging slap.A gasp escaped my lips.I turned halfway, eyes burning into his as I bit down on my bottom lip. “Lorenzo…”He groaned low, the sound vibrating in his chest as his hand reached for me again. “You know what that sound does to me.”Laughing, I danced just out of reach and bolted toward the door. “Then catch me, De Vito.”“Brat,” he muttered,
HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION Chapter 174- Home
The second I slid into the backseat of the car and let the door thud shut behind me, I exhaled like I hadn’t breathed properly in hours.Matteo caught my eye in the rearview mirror and offered me a quick, reassuring smile. “Long day?”“You have no idea,” I muttered, sagging back against the seat. The soft leather cradled my spine, and for the first time all day, I felt like I could actually relax.We pulled away from the construction site, the sun casting golden streaks through the tinted windows. I closed my eyes for a moment and let the familiar rhythm of the city wash over me—the hum of traffic, the distant honk of a Vespa horn, the rustle of wind through the olive trees as we turned off the main road toward the mansion.Home.God, I never thought I’d call that place home, but somehow, it was.And as the gates of the De Vito estate opened with their usual low groan, I felt something tighten in my chest and then loosen again—like I’d been carrying a weight I didn’t even realize unti
HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION Chapter 173- Red Roses
The numbers on the screen blurred.I’d been staring at this proposal for an hour now, but not a single word was sinking in. My hand tightened around the mouse, dragging it across the desk with just enough restraint not to fling it at the glass wall.It wasn’t the numbers.It wasn’t the deal.It was the empty chair in the corner of the office.Emily’s chair.I raked a hand through my hair and leaned back in my chair, staring up at the ceiling, jaw clenched so tight it ached.I missed her.Hell, missed wasn’t even the right word. I felt her absence like a goddamn injury. Like someone had taken a knife and carved her out of the room, leaving only the ghost of her laugh and the memory of her perfume.And the silence?It was deafening.I didn’t realize how much she filled this space until she was gone from it.The click of the door interrupted my spiral. I didn’t look up, assuming it was Angelo with a file or maybe a reminder about lunch. But then I saw something move in my periphery—somet
