last update publish date: 2026-03-28 21:29:45

“Serenity,” River suddenly called, halting my thoughts as he held both my arms. “Tell me. What are you feeling right now?”

River… He’s the only person I opened myself to. I gave everything to him, knowing that he won’t hurt me like the others. That was what my mind and heart told me.

But something is destroying all my senses. Something I couldn’t even figure out.

His presence should have been familiar, but it wasn’t. Not anymore.

“I… I don’t know,” I admitted, my hands shaking in fear. “What’s

    Upon hearing those words, something inside me cracked. Not in a bad way, but it felt like I had lowered my guard. I’m not even aware I’m building it around him.“There’s no way I will leave you, Serenity. I didn’t come this far just to leave in the end,” he added in a reassuring tone. “I’ll always be with you. Remember that.”His arms tightened around me, and like a muscle memory, I leaned into him as I pressed my forehead against his chest and listened to his heartbeat.And for the first time since the withdrawal, I let myself believe that maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t beyond saving.*****A few more days had passed, and I could feel that the drug was slowly getting out of my system.My body started recovering, and I could remember most of my memories now. I don’t have any symptoms anymore, so Evelyn finally removed the IV drip.“Your physical appearance is becoming better, too. It’s a good sign that you’re healing,” said Evelyn with a smile. “All you need is to take some rest, and eve

  • His Forbidden Possession   Chapter 58: Remember

    “Y-Yes!” I tried to hide the happiness in my voice, but I think I failed.The door opened, revealing River. He looked exhausted, but when he saw my face, his expression lit up.But his happiness converted into worry upon seeing the IV drip on my arm.Quickly, he went toward me and sat at the edge of the bed. “How are you feeling?”“Shitty and scared,” I answered honestly with a chuckle. “Every time there is too much silence, it feels like my mind is doing its best to take me down. So I’m glad that you’re here. Thank you for stopping all the noises in my head just by your presence.”I can’t remember the time I became honest like this, but it feels so liberating. If it’s with River, there’s nothing I should be afraid of.River didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he smiled, leaned down, and kissed my forehead.“I’m done with what I needed to take care of, so I won’t leave now,” River said, gently reassuring me as he caressed my hair. “Don’t worry about a thing and get some sleep. I’ll ta

  • His Forbidden Possession   Chapter 57: Withdrawal

    Doctor Evelyn didn’t waste any time as we started the therapy.She brought me to a room which smelled like antiseptic and lavender, a combination that I somehow didn’t like, but at the same time, it felt refreshing.“You don’t like the smell?” asked Evelyn upon noticing my expression. “The scent helped ground patients during withdrawal. I know that it will feel shitty at first, especially because of the drug, but I promise, it will fade.”I only nodded in response.I wasn’t even sure if it worked. She had only let me stay in the room, inhale the scent, and made me answer some questions, something related to my past and my current condition.Like what Evelyn said, it felt shitty.My body felt like it was betraying me, trembling one moment and feeling like it’s burning the next, as if the drugs were angry at being forced out of my body.It was like that until the next morning. My head was spinning, especially with the memories that I don’t know if were distorted or already real.“Are yo

Who… Who are you?”For a moment, I forgot who he was. He became just a stranger in my eyes.My heart knows him, but my mind couldn’t recognize him. It feels like something’s clouding my mind.His eyes darkened, and pain crossed his face.“I’m River,” he said quietly, almost like he was reassuring himself as much as me. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m here. You’re safe here.”“River…” I muttered.Saying his name felt right on my tongue, but his face didn’t completely match my m

    Mia smiled, reassuring me. But I saw the fear in her eyes. I know why, and it’s because they’ll scold her for what she did.“I told you, don’t worry about me. I can handle myself,” Mia spoke again upon seeing that I’m spacing out. “River’s here. Go now before Hans’ guards catch you!”I looked on the other side, and I saw River approaching.“Thank you for helping us,” River said as he held my hand, looking at Mia. “I promise that I’ll return the favor.”But Mia shook her head. “Just protect her and make her happy. That will be enough,” she answered, her gaze now moving at me.Tears were streaming down her face.“Live your life now. That’s my only wish.”Smiling as I bit my lower lip to stop my sobs, I nodded.With River holding my hand, both of us ran outside the hall. There was another gate we needed to cross, and once we passed that, everything was over.But one thing made me confused.“Mia knows that we’re cousins, right?” I asked, pointing at him and me. “But why does it seem like

    “And we’re done!” the stylist exclaimed again after finishing the touches she did on my dress. “It’s time for the party, baby!”Everyone was so delighted… excluding me.They led me down the long corridor, past the guests and our relatives whose eyes seemed to judge me, or use me for their own gain as well.I wanted to scream and fight, but the medicine kept me weak. It felt like I had lost my voice, my strength, and my sanity.“Walk on your own,” Mom said as she guided me into the aisle, her other hand holding my arm, nails burying into my skin as if she was giving me a warning. “Remember. This will be your life now.”I didn’t answer, even though I knew it would make her mad.This is the last string of my defiance. No matter what I do, there’s no way I could escape here.I don’t like it, but I started walking toward Hans, who was smiling while waiting for me to reach him.He looked stunning in his white suit, and I understand why so many women were swarming over him. For their eyes, h
