The heavy air in the room felt like a physical weight when I woke up. I didn’t sleep beside him last night because I wasn’t in the mood to even see him or feel him.

My eyes were dry, the skin around them tight from last night’s tears.

I stared at the ceiling, my chest aching with a dull, throbbing pressure. I hated this feeling.

For a moment, I wanted to stay under the covers and disappear, but the reality of the house wouldn’t let me.

I rolled over, and my heart skipped. Daniel was watching me

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 50: The Shattered Vase

    Harold’s POV“What do you mean?”Cyndrel took a step forward. At first, I thought she was completely alone, but then I noticed someone behind her. She was holding the hand of a little boy. The child was crying loudly, his face wet with tears as he pulled on her coat.“Mommy, please! I want us to go back to daddy again!” the little boy begged, his voice shaking.“No, Alex,” Cyndrel said, her voice hard as she looked down at him. “We cannot go back to him anymore. It is over.”Then, she looked up and fixed her eyes on me. I could see a deep fear in her expression, mixed with fresh tears. “Please, Harold,” she whispered, her voice desperate. “Come back to me.”I stared at her, completely shocked. “What?” I said, my voice rising. “Are you out of your fucking mind? Why are you even here, Cyndrel? How did you even get past my security gates?”She did not answer my questions. Instead of listening to me, she used her shoulder to push herself past me, walking right into my house. She started t

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 49: I Want to See My Son

    We almost crashed.The moment the confession left my lips, David’s entire body went rigid. His hands violently jerked, losing all grip on the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve sharply to the left, then to the right.“David!” I screamed, a raw, paralyzing panic seizing my chest.Through the windshield, a massive delivery truck was barreling straight toward us, its horn blaring a deafening, terrifying warning. In that split second, time slowed to a sickening crawl. I genuinely thought I was going to die. Every fragmented memory of my life—the mistakes, the heartaches, the quiet laughter of my son Daniel—flashed vividly before my eyes.At the very last second, a primal survival instinct kicked in. David violently yanked the wheel, swerving the car onto the far shoulder of the road. He slammed on the brakes, the car skidding across the gravel before he violently twisted the key, cutting the engine entirely.The silence that followed was suffocating. Both of us sat frozen, chests h

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 48: The Father of My Child

    “Get out of here, David.”The words came out sharp, laced with a desperate fury as I tried to mask the sudden tremor in my hands. “I don’t care what you have to say. I don’t fucking believe a single word coming out of your mouth.”I turned my back on him immediately. I couldn’t let him see my face. I couldn’t let him see the exact moment the final pillar of my composure crumbled. Deep down, I already knew. I had spent the last twenty-four hours drowning in the agonizing intuition that Harold was keeping massive secrets from me, but hearing the brutal, verbal confirmation from David felt like a physical blade piercing my chest. It was one thing to suspect the man you loved was lying; it was another to have his brother throw the evidence at your feet.Before I could take a step back, David’s hand clamped firmly around my forearm, his grip anchoring me to the pavement.“Sandra, stop. Look at me,” he pleaded, his voice thick with a heavy, exhausting desperation. “I can see the pain in you

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 47: A Convenient Wife

    David's POV“W-What?” I blinked, “No. No, please, Cyndrel. I’m not going to let you do this. Please don’t leave me.”The words ripped out of my throat, raw and humiliated, but I didn’t care about my pride anymore.I was practically begging her, the absolute terror of a collapsing life making me weak. Right there in the middle of the park, I dropped to my knees in front of my own wife.I reached out, desperately trying to anchor myself to the hem of her coat, to anything that would keep her from stepping away.But Cyndrel didn’t even hesitate. With a cold, systematic disgust, she slapped my hands away and took a sharp step back.“It’s over between us, David,” she said, her voice flat, devoid of any of the warmth that used to anchor my chaotic world. “You had your chance. In fact, I gave you multiple chances. I forgave you even when I knew behind my back you were bullshitting me, doing whatever the hell you wanted. But now? It’s completely over. So please, just save whatever sanity we b

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 46: Don’t Make Promises

    When I woke up the next morning, the adrenaline from the previous day had completely evaporated, leaving behind a raw, localized agony.I sat on the edge of the closed toilet seat in the bathroom, carefully dabbing antiseptic over the burn. The skin was beginning to bruise, blistering in angry red patches where the surface layer was starting to peel away.Yesterday, I was so shocked by David’s confession that I barely felt the burn from the hot cappuccino. But now, in the bright morning light, I had to face it. It hurt a lot—a sharp, throbbing pain that reminded me how quickly my life had fallen apart.I was focusing entirely on my own skin, trying to blink through the pain, when a large pair of hands suddenly mirrored my movements from behind.“Sandra, let me.”I flinched.Harold was standing right behind me, his voice a low, heavy rumble. He reached down, gently trying to take the antiseptic bottle from my fingers. “I want to know what happened. Please, just let me help you treat th

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 45: Have a Safe Trip

    The hours dragged by as I sat in the sprawling, quiet living room, waiting for Harold to come home. I knew that if any other woman were in my position, she would be tearing the city apart looking for him. She would be calling his phone repeatedly, demanding immediate answers, or storming into his office.But I didn’t do any of that.The truth was, I didn’t have the energy to confront him anymore. I knew deep down that even if I cornered him, even if I looked him in the eye and demanded the truth about Cyndrel, he would just look right back at me and lie. He would weave another perfect, seamless story over and over again until I was the one left feeling crazy.As I stared blankly at the dark window, a terrifying question finally drifted into my mind: Do I actually love Harold? Have I finally fallen for him? Has all of this finally torn me apart? How did something that was once just an agreement turn out like this?“Mommy?”The small, soft voice snapped me instantly back to reality. I b

    The shower was a blur of steam and the roar of water, but all I could feel was the weight of Harold’s body pinning me against the tiles.My legs were locked tight around his waist, my heels digging into his lower back as he filled me completely. The friction was overwhelming. Every time he surged f

    I was done.I didn’t have the time or the emotional capacity for his bullshit anymore because I had finally recognized the cycle.It was a carousel of lies that never stopped spinning.I would find out a secret, a dark sliver of his past or a hidden motive, and the moment I confronted him, he would

    “Get away from him!”The sound of the slap echoed through the restaurant.I watched, frozen, as Cyndrel pushed Harold back after slapping him with a force fueled by pure desperation.“Stop this!” she cried out. Her voice was trembling, and even from where I stood, I could see the shattered glass in
