MY FORBIDDEN MATE The Betrayal Behind The Smile
Liora POVThe voice behind me freezes my entire body.I slowly turn around.My heart refuses to accept what my eyes are seeing.Because standing in front of me is not a stranger.Not an enemy I prepared myself to face.It is someone I trusted.Someone who sat beside me when I cried.Someone who told me I finally had a family.Someone who helped me believe I belonged.“Gerald…”“My boss…”The name leaves my lips quietly.He stands there calmly.Almost too calmly.The man who gave me a chance at a new life.The man who introduced me to the business world.The man who encouraged me when I thought I had nothing.Now he is the person standing behind everything.I observed for a moment.Gerald does not look guilty.That hurts more.I expected anger.I expected hatred.But instead, he looks disappointed.As if I am the one who failed him.“You were never supposed to find out this way.”My chest tightens.“What way?”I take a step closer.“By finding out you were the person trying to destroy
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The person behind the night
Liora POVThe folder sits between Ravenna and me.I stare at it.I do not touch it.Because something inside me already knows whatever is inside will change something.Ravenna watches me carefully.For the first time since I met her, she does not look like the woman who hated my existence.She looks like someone carrying a burden.A secret.A regret.I slowly open the folder.The first thing I see is a photograph.A man.My eyes widen.Because I recognize him.Not because I know him personally.But because I remember seeing him that night.The night I met Darius.The night that destroyed and changed my life at the same time.“The bartender…”I whisper.Ravenna nods.“Yes.”My heart starts beating faster.“What does he have to do with this?”Ravenna takes a deep breath.“He was not just a bartender.”Ravenna explains: “before Darius entered the club, i had already been investigating the place.”She immediately added:“Not because of Liora.”“But because of a business connection.”She
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The Secret That Refuses To Die
Liora POV“This is the beginning of my downfall.” I muttered to myself.The photo remains on my phone.I cannot move.I cannot breathe properly.Because it is not just a picture to me .It is proof.Proof that someone has been digging into the part of my life I buried.The part I spent years trying to escape.The club.That night.Darius.The baby.My hands tremble as I look at the message again.“I know the truth about the baby.”A cold feeling spreads through my body.Because there is only one truth about the baby.And only two people alive who know what really happened.Me.And Darius.I slowly look at him.For the first time, I see fear in his eyes.Not fear for himself.Fear for me.Darius immediately takes the phone.He studies the picture carefully.I watched him.His expression becomes unreadable.“Who else knows?”I shake my head.“No one.”The silence between us becomes heavy.Because we both know what this means.Someone has been watching.Someone has been waiting.Darius
MY FORBIDDEN MATE "The name on the screen"
Liora POVThe moment I ended the call with Darius.I went back to staring at my screen.Selene Blackwood.The name attached to the anonymous email.For several minutes, I refuse to accept what I am seeing on the screen.“It must be a mistake.”“It should be.”I muttered to myself Because Selene is the one person I never expected.She was the person who searched for and gave me the job.The person who brought me into the Blackwood family.The person who protected me when everyone else looked at me like a mistake.My fingers tighten around my phone.“No…”I whisper to myself.There has to be another explanation.Someone could have used her name.Someone could have accessed her account.Someone could be trying to destroy the relationship between us.Because the alternative hurts too much.I refused to accept it.The idea that Selene, my sister, the person who gave me a family when I thought I had none, could be behind this…“I cannot accept it.” I muttered to myself.“Why would she do t
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The distance between us
Liora POVI picked up my bag leaving the coffee cart, after our first peaceful conversation in weeks.For the first time in a long time I noticed something strange.I looked at my mate bond.It doesn’t feel like a wound anymore.It feels calm.But that scares me more than the pain ever did.Then I reminded myself.“I am not rebuilding my life for Darius.”I thought to myself again.“I am doing it because i deserve a life where I am not constantly running from my past.I muttered to myself.After deliberate thinking while returning from work.I decide to focus on my work with Gerald’s company.My new promotion opportunity becomes the center of her attention.“Thats my priority now.”I threw myself into the project, refusing to allow my emotions about Darius to distract me.But while working, my phone beep.I check it was a message.I received a message from Darius.Not romantic.Not demanding.Just:“Did you get home safely?”I stare at the message for several minutes.A few months a
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The first real fight
Liora pov “Why would you use Gerald to keep track of me?”I flared in anger.Three weeks of fragile stability collapse during a single conversation. I confront Darius after learning about his involvement in Gerald’s oversight structures. I directly ask him “Did you instruct Gerald to monitor my work or wellbeing in any way?”The question immediately shifts the tone between us.“You get the wrong idea Liora.”“What__?”Darius explains carefully that “I did not instruct surveillance.”He paused.“My intention, was only to ensure you had support if needed.”But the explanation does not land as intended.Liora reacts sharply. “To me, the distinction is irrelevant.”I hesitate.“The outcome remains the same: someone in my professional environment is reporting back about her life.”“This is not what you are thinking Liora.”“You are misunderstanding the whole piont.”“Misunderstanding what?”Silence.“You are now repeating a pattern I left behind Darius.”“Huhhh” Darius sounded con
