Natalia's POV

"Mum, will Uncle Fernan be my new dad?" my son Toper asked. I gently stroked his hair and just smiled at him in response.

Fernan has been courting me for a while now. He is the son of my current boss, where I work as a secretary. I got the job through Leonardo, who recommended me to his godfather. Before this, I used to work for Leonardo, but when my younger sister Cassandra graduated from college, she took over my position.

When I met Fernan, I was immediately drawn to his kindness. He is not like other men who flirt around. I have never heard any gossip about him dating anyone. He is a bit older than Leonardo, probably in his mid-thirties. I felt a little awkward when he started courting me, knowing that I already had a child. But he was always kind to Toper. In fact, they get along really well.

I looked over at Fernan, who was smiling with my son sitting comfortably on his lap.

"When your mum finally says yes to me, you can start calling me Dad," he said.

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Her silence was enough to break my heart

    "Stand up, Sir Marcus. You should not kneel in front of me," she said, trying to get me to stand, but I stayed where I was. I wrapped my arms around her waist and broke down. I could no longer hold back my emotions. I needed her."Please, Natalia. Come with me. Belle needs you. She is in the hospital and she has been asking for you. Please, my Natalia, come with me," I pleaded, holding her tighter."Get up. I will go with you," she finally said.I looked up in surprise."I am only doing this for our daughter. Not for you," she added coldly.Still, I smiled and nodded.On our way back, Natalia remained quiet. I did not force her to sit in the front seat. I kept glancing at the rear-view mirror just to see her. She was not looking in my direction, so I took the chance to watch her quietly.I had missed her so much. And for now, I was just grateful that she agreed to come back—for Belle.When we arrived at the hospital, I offered to help her out of the car, but she refused. I followed he

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Please, Natalia. Come back with me

    Marcus' PovI came home feeling defeated. I gained nothing from going there. My chest felt heavy from how Natalia pushed me away. But I will not give up on you, Natalia. You belong with me. Even if you push me away again and again, I will not back down, because I am your husband!As soon as I stepped inside the house, I was surprised to see my daughter sitting at the entrance. She looked like she had been waiting for a long time. I let out a sigh."Belle, my child, why are you still awake? You should be sleeping at this hour," I said. She looked up at me, and I saw sadness in her eyes. I knew exactly why. I picked her up in my arms."I was waiting for you, Daddy. Did you see Mommy?" she asked. I nodded. I gently stroked her long, silky hair and kissed her forehead."Why is she not with you, Daddy? I want to meet Mommy," she said while hugging my neck. I did not know how to answer. Should I tell her that her mother is with someone else now? I did not want to break her heart. I would ra

    Marcus povI shot up from my seat and gave Aaron a tight hug. He always had the best ideas in times like this."Thanks, man! You just gave me a solid lead!" I said with excitement."Take a shower first so you can think straight. Look at yourself, you’re a mess. Your head is all hot. I do not even want to imagine the rest," Aaron joked.The three of them burst into laughter. I just scowled. I was about to leave when Trevor spoke again. "Where do you think you’re going?" he asked with a raised brow."I’m heading to the mall. I need to check the CCTV there. Maybe I can finally find out where my son and Natalia are," I said.They laughed again. I had no idea what was funny. I was serious. I just wanted to see my family."In that state? You look like a homeless man who collects junk for a living!" Aaron said as they all laughed again.I frowned. I knew I looked terrible. I had not showered, and my face was a wreck. I had not even looked in the mirror in days. Aaron gave me a quick pat on

    “Honestly, no. That is why I am saying this to you. I speak from experience,” he said with a laugh.“You are giving great advice considering what you went through,” I teased.“That is why I am sharing it with you. Love yourself first before anyone else. Never give everything, because when you end up hurt, you will have nothing left for yourself,” he said seriously.I nodded in agreement. He was right.“Oh, by the way, I will take Toper out for a while. You need a break from chasing after your energetic son,” he joked.I slapped his shoulder playfully.“You are so full of it. Even if he is super playful, I love him more than anything. Even when I am tired, all the stress disappears the moment I see his face,” I said with a soft smile.“That is because he looks like the man you love,” he teased again.My eyes widened at his joke, and I was about to hit him when he ran toward my son.“Toper! Your Mama’s going to hit me!” he playfully tattled.I rolled my eyes. He really had to use my son

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Do you still love him?

    Marcus’ PovI arrived at my office already in a bad mood. I could not understand myself anymore. This is what I wanted, right? After the contract ended, Natalia was no longer supposed to work here. That was clearly stated in the agreement, and I was the one who made it. But why do I still want to see her? Why do I want to be with her?Damn it.I ruffled my hair in frustration. I needed to see her, or I would go insane. I stood up and decided to go to Natalia’s house. I did not care what she might think. Why do I even want her back, not just in my office, but in my life? When my secretary saw me, he greeted me with a nod.“Good morning, Sir,” he said.“I’m out for today. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I’m out of town,” I told him. He just nodded again.When I arrived at Natalia’s house, my heart started beating fast. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. Minutes passed, but no one answered. My knuckles were already hurting, but still, no one came to open the damn
