Her forbidden love

EPISODE 1: A TALE FROM THE PAST.It had been two weeks since they gave me the most shocking news of my life. The two people, whom I had loved my entire life, had just told me that I wasn't their biological daughter, and they adopted me from an orphanage in a small town. It felt like I had lost my sense of being. Who was I, and where exactly did I come from? Who are even parents? Those were what paraded through my mind until I chose to accept the truth. I was taken care of and loved by Mr. Kent and Gracie.I may not share the same blood as her and her husband, but with their son, they've never treated me less than a human being.Christopher White. My handsome stepbrother. Christopher, when I came, was resentful towards me; he didn't want to accept that his loving parents had adopted a girl, a teenager, who had almost become a woman.His resentful pattern—I, myself, wasn't that innocent; I never liked my foster brother, and our hateful nature toward each other slowly turned into love. I

EPISODE 3: A NEW JOB.I went to my bedroom, and Christopher was already waiting for my arrival with his bossy-like behavior."Good evening, young lady. He growled after I met him, looking lovingly at my picture."Hey, what are you here? It's late." I looked at the time. It was almost midnight, and Christopher happened to be in my bedroom..."I went to the party, and they informed me you had left; why didn't you wait for me!?". He rode from resting his back on the bed...I also took a step closer and said."Nothing? I didn't want to disturb you." "Disturb me? Nina, you're not; remember, I promised to keep you safe at all times.". He expressed his desires to me and gently got a hold of my hands."I love you. Don't forget that." He bowed my head and left a kiss on my forehead. Goodnight," Nina; I'll see you tomorrow," he added, and then left me staring blindly as he went out the door.Thank God I didn't tell him of my encounter with Drake and how he let his driver beat up a man who was

Episode 5: DO YOU REMEMBER?I couldn't join them for lunch at the restaurant; I had to make do with the snacks at the offices. After I had finished checking the documents on my table, I went with them to my boss's office; he wasn't at the office, and that gave me enough time to quickly drop the document and come out. Some minutes later, as my colleagues were beginning to return from their lunch, Taila, once again, approached my table, and she brought a box of cupcakes with milkshakes for me."You must be starving, right?". She served it on the table for me."Thanks." I grabbed her hand and gave her a friendly squeeze.She nods and goes away to her deck. I opened the box, and just as I was about to bite the first cupcake, my boss came outside and yelled my name."Nina!!!". Immediately, I let go of the cupcake, closed the box, and hurried to his office."Sir! You called?". I knocked before entering.My boss slowly lifted his head and tossed the document. I took my time and energy to

Lisa was ecstatic to find her ex-boyfriend, and while I stood behind her like a stranger and watched, Taila came, and she had a team that would dress her for her interview.She didn't want to leave without Christopher, and not once, even by mistake, did he turn and look at my face. I was brewing with jealousy; I thought Destiny was on my side. How foolish have I been?Taila had me arrange the set. Lisa was seated on a leather chair, right next to Christopher, who wouldn't stop smiling at her. What exactly was she saying that made him act so girly? .."I placed a bottle of water on top of the table in the set and angrily left. My head had the expression of wanting to kill someone. It was so evident that when Taila came with a few documents to hold, she had to walk past me and hand them to someone else.The evening program was all about Lisa; her presence not only made everyone at the radio station happy, but it also caused my lover to behave like a love-sick puppy. Imagine that, after

EPISODE 9: SCANDALThe following week, at the start of my morning routine, Christopher always prepares tea for everyone. I anticipated having it, just to hear that he had gone to Lisa's house because she needed something with the plumbing. Mom told me that when she did, I saw her grinning so suspiciously that anyone who noticed that would immediately figure out that the reason why Christopher had gone wasn't to help in fixing up Lisa's plumbing issues; in other words, Mom wanted to fix up her son back with his ex-girlfriend.And when she told me, I laughed and went in to prepare the tea myself.Afterward, I went to the office.I walk past my boss's office; he sees me and then decides to call me back."Nina! Please come". He said, I heard him loud and clear. I turned around and walked into his office; his door was slightly closed."Sir, good morning. What can I do for you?". I first greeted him before responding further with the question."Nina, I want to ask you about something import
