My Forbidden Fruit Chapter 23
The moment I entered the room, I spotted her. Lily was sitting against pillows, deathly pale and shaking, a bandage on her temple. Her eyes were glassy and rimmed in red, but the moment she spotted me, they welled up with new tears. "Eve…" she cracked, almost no more than a whisper. I hurried to her side and held her in my arms before she could get another word out. She held on as if she would disintegrate if she let go. "I thought—" she cried into my shoulder. "I thought you were hurt too." "I'm here," I whispered, holding her hair back. "I'm here, Lily. I'm fine." We huddled like that for a bit, holding our breath. Trying to believe we were safe. Lily was not easily scared. Seeing her in this condition was so hurtful. When she finally drew back, her lower lip quivered. "I tried to stop it. I swear, Eve, I—I noticed something weird about him. I told Antonio, and he said to go upstairs. Then… then everything just happened so quickly." "You did the right thing," I told her

Enzo settled back slowly, wincing as the nurse completed the taping of the bandage.I hovered beside him, holding onto his good hand.My hands were literally shaking. The warmth of his hand was giving me comfort that I needed the most right now.He tighten his grip, that made me a little relax.He's the one who's hurt but still he's giving me reassurance.My head was pounding by thinking about the incidents that happened in the past few days.These past days were hectic.The fights, arguments everything.Enzo and I never fight over anything, Ever.But maybe we should never say never.His wincing when I accidentally touch his shoulder gave me the idea that his shoulder is also injured.But one thing J can't understand I left Enzo sleeping at his place, how come he was at Antonio's.The distance is not much but still it's more than an hour ride.He saw my puzzled expression and before I could ask him. He started himself.Like he knew what I am going to ask."I woke up," he said softly,
My Forbidden Fruit Chapter 21
The following morning, I didn't wait for Enzo to wake up. It's better if I just maintain my distance from him. I don't want to worsen it more for either of us. I exited the guest room quietly, each step measured, intentional—like I was moving away from a part of myself I no longer knew. I left the notebook on the coffee table. I didn't need it. I didn't need the part of me in its pages—the girl who still held out hope that someone like him would pick her. When I opened the front door, the morning air nipped at my skin, but I welcomed it. At least the cold was truthful. I didn't leave a note. I didn't have to. He'd know. He always knew too much… and yet, not enough. Maybe he even wanted me to leave in his mind who knows? I drove directly to graveyard to meet my parents.I wanted to tell them, all and how sorry I was for betraying their trust and not being their best daughter and fall for somebody I shouldn't.My eyes blurred from the tears.I knew for a fact that now my eye

The silence was too painful for me to endure. So got up and left him sitting there busy in his thouhts I closed the door behind me with a soft click. The sound felt final, like the closing of a book I didn’t want to finish but had no strength to keep reading. The lights were dim, casting long shadows across the floor as I climbed into bed, wrapping myself up in the same blanket I’d held onto earlier—hoping it would offer some kind of comfort again. But it didn’t. Not tonight. I lay still. Eyes open. Staring at the ceiling like it had answers. Why did I say that? Why did I ask about the engagement when I knew the answer would destroy me? I rolled to my side, pulling the blanket tighter against my chest as the sting of tears hit my eyes. I had tried. I had tried to be strong. To be okay with the way things were. To be mature, composed, quiet about the way my heart cracked open every time he called me “Bella” with a tone that meant everything and nothing. But it wasn’t workin

After dinner, he brought me to the hospital. Bandage on my both feet. My hands remained bluish purple. But the spot on my neck was a bit lighter. I related everything that happened to Enzo. He swore continuously but didn't say anything more. I was frightened and didn't want to return home. Antonio was not typically at home and Lily always had to go with him. Lucas was occupied with business travels. Enzo also did not want me to go, so I remained. I recovered my phone. Then I realized Sara tricked me, my phone was with her the entire time. I have been here for a week now but Carol did not come. I overheard him speaking to her on the phone. She wanted to come but he did not allow her. It was best. I do not wish to lose my peace. Ethan and his brother were both in prison. In certain cases of drugs. I knew it was Enzo's work. I heard Ethan was beaten up so severely in prison that he had 5 fractures and was now in hospital. I sat in the living room drinking hot chocolate
My Forbidden Fruit Chapter 18
"Darling… it will all be okay."Rosie's voice trembled, a fragile note of warmth against the frigid terror still clinging to my skin like second flesh.Her aged hands stroked my back, shaky and slow, as if she thought she could rub the memories right out of me. Like the horror could be kneaded away with love and warmth.I couldn’t move.Couldn’t breathe right.Couldn’t feel my own body except where it ached.She placed a plate of sandwiches in front of me, the crusts trimmed just the way I liked. I stared at them. My stomach turned.Food felt… absurd. Alien.How could I eat when I still felt his hands?Ethan.Just the name sent bile racing up my throat.I sat there, stiff and silent. Eyes locked on the door.Waiting.Praying.And then—“EVELYN!”His voice cracked through the silence like thunder splitting the earth. Raw. Frantic. Real.I flinched so hard I dropped the teacup in my hand.The shatter echoed through the quiet.He was here.My lungs collapsed on themselves. I stood up too
