Serena’s POV

My heart leapt, hoping it was Mia, back to talk, to let me hold her like when we were kids, to forgive me for being this broken shell of her sister. My fingers brushed the knob, a half-smile forming.

Then I swung the door open, and my smile shattered.

Victor Crane stood in the doorway, his lean frame clad in a suit too sharp for this decaying apartment. His eyes, cold and dangerous, lock into mine, freezing my blood. Behind him, two hulking men in black. His enforcers, not guards,

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 92

    SERENA'S POVI moved fast.Too fast, as my legs clicked against the stone pathway, my cardigan pulled tight around my shoulders, the phone still pressed flat against my chest like I could physically keep the words on that screen from reaching the rest of me. The garden was quiet. The hedges didn't move. Whatever that shadow had been in the far corner had dissolved back into the dark the moment I'd stepped inside, and now I was telling myself it was nothing, it was just the light playing tricks, it was the anxiety threading through my body making shapes out of ordinary darkness.I almost believed it.The terrace door clicked shut behind me and I crossed through the side corridor at the base of the east wing stairs, moving towards the main hall. My pulse hadn't settled and my fingers were still faintly cold.I turned the corner.And walked directly into Daniel.His hands caught me before I could stumble as both of them closed around my arms with a reflex that felt automatic, my body fr

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 91

    VANESSA'S POVThe elevator doors slid shut behind me, and the moment they did, I let the mask drop.My shoulders caved first. Then the careful set of my jaw, the practiced coolness behind my eyes, all of it crumbled the second the mirrored walls closed me in. I stared at my own reflection and barely recognized the woman looking back. My lips are still perfect. My lashes still curled. The red dress is still doing exactly what red dresses were designed to do.But underneath all of it?It's a Wreckage.I pressed two fingers against my temple and closed my eyes. The lobby numbers ticked down above the doors. Thirty-two. Thirty-one. Thirty.She's going to be a problem.That thought had started as a whisper the moment Daniel's little houseguest was in the room. I had expected someone temporary. Someone who was just for the time being, the kind of woman men like Daniel kept around when he felt stuck. I had not expected the quiet steadiness in her eyes. The way she hadn't flinched. She hadn't

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 90

    Serena's POVThe bedroom door had barely closed behind me before my legs gave out their confidence.I sat on the edge of the bed, as my hands folded in my lap, staring at nothing. Lila sat beside me without a word. That was one of the things I had always loved about her. She never rushed in with noise when silence was what was needed. She simply sat, her shoulder warm against mine, and let the moment breathe."You okay?" she asked finally, her voice soft."I don't know." I said honestly. I pressed my fingers together and looked down at them. "Who was she, Lila? The way she looked at me–" I paused, searching for the right word. "It wasn't just dislike. It was something personal. Like I had taken something that belonged to her."Lila was quiet for a moment. "Lila.""I don't know the full story," she said carefully. "But I think she's an ex. The tension between them was crazy." She reached over and squeezed my hand once. "But it shouldn't bother you. Daniel has his eyes on you." I want

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 89

    Daniel's POVThe study door clicked shut behind us, sending a heavy sound that seemed to echo the storm raging inside my chest. Vanessa stood in the middle of the room, her designer heels striking the hardwood once as she faced me. The dim lighting carved sharp shadows across her face, catching the sharp line of her jaw, the calculating light in her eyes. She was still beautiful but whatever spell that beauty had once cast over me had burned itself out a long time ago.I didn't have time for this.Not today. Serena was downstairs with Elena and Lila. My entire world felt shaky now and the last thing I needed was Vanessa's chaos thrown into the middle of it."What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice low and cold, stripped of every courtesy I might have once offered her. "I told you we were done. I sent you money. That was the end of it. There is nothing left between us."She didn't answer with words.Instead, she moved. Two steps. It was deliberate and quick, closing the

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 88

    Serena’s POVI woke up slowly, as the soft morning light creeped through the curtains of my bedroom. My body felt deliciously sore in all the right places, a reminder of the passionate night we had shared. As my eyes opened slowly, I found Daniel already awake, already propped up on one elbow, staring at me with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. His dark eyes were fixed on my face, as if he had been watching me sleep for hours. A small, sleepy smile tugged at my lips. “You have to stop staring at me when I’m sleeping,” I murmured slowly, my voice still husky from sleep. “Isn't it cute?” He asked.“It’s creepy, Daniel.” I replied smiling.He didn’t smile back immediately.Instead, his gaze darkened with that familiar possessive hunger. “I can’t stop,” he said, his voice low and rough. “You look so peaceful. I could watch you forever.”Before I could tease him further, he leaned down and captured my mouth in a deep, hungry kiss. The kiss started slow but quickly turned heated

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter 87

    Daniel’s POVI left Elena in the living room with a quiet good night, my footsteps echoing down the hallway as I walked away. She had tried to keep the conversation going, but I needed space. My sister’s sudden return had stirred up too many old memories right from the day our mother left, the cold boarding school she was sent to, the lonely mansion grandmother raised me in. Elena had spent years trying to rebuild what was broken, reaching out again and again, while I pushed her away every single time. I told myself it was protection. That keeping her at a distance meant keeping her safe from my world. But tonight, watching her laugh with Serena and Lila, something inside me cracked. I cared about her. Deeply. More than I ever let myself admit. But I couldn’t tell her that.Not yet.She is going torture me with it for the tight of my life.As I walked toward my room, my mind kept circling back to what she had said about being engaged. Engaged. The word sounded funny and strange to m

    The person in front of her was none other than Victor Crane, the infamous loan shark.The moment she set her eyes on him, she knew she was in trouble.“Hello, princess,” he murmured, his voice calm yet cold.Serena took a step back. “I’m working on the payment, Victor. I just need a little more tim

    New Orleans City"We're sorry, ma'am. It's too late. We lost her."That was the last thing Serena heard before she collapsed in front of the hospital ward.She was rushed into the next room and treated. When she finally woke up, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling."So I'm still alive. Bu

  • His Forbidden Mistress   Chapter Six

    Daniel’s POVI watch as Serena storms off, her heels clicking slowly against the pavement, her silhouette swallowed by the night. My heart pounded, not with anger, but with something far more dangerous - fascination. Her words echoed in my head: “The only thing I regret is ever letting you near m

    Serena’s POVI didn’t think when I yanked open the car door and threw myself inside. All I knew was survival. Escape. My voice cracked as I pleaded, “Please drive! Please help me!” My hands trembled, clutching my bag like my life depends on it. My mind is too lost to register who I was begging.The
