Lana’s POV

“Darling, what are you doing standing with her?”

Did he just call me darling, and right in front of his not-yet-divorced wife? What is he trying to start? Is he trying to cause drama from the very beginning? My mind raced. Should I pretend I did not hear it? Or should I ask him what he meant? Before I could even decide, Rita stepped in, smiling like she was saving me.

“I knew you would not stay angry for long,” she said, stepping closer to him. “I came to apologise for all the misunderstandings.”

She looked at him with so much confidence, but Lee was not looking at her at all, he was staring right at me. I could hardly breathe. He should not say another word. The way he looked at me… he must have realised I did not like what he just called me. Or was he even talking to me? Was he calling me darling? Or was it meant for Rita, and I just got caught in the middle?

My head was a mess. Does he still care about her? Am I actually feeling jealous right now? What is wrong with me?

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   You took us to our father’s house

    Lana’s POVFor a long time, I kept quiet. I never told Lee the truth, that he is the father. I buried it deep inside me, thinking it was the right thing to do. But I cannot keep quiet anymore. Standing there, watching Austin lie so easily, not just to me, but to the people I care about, it broke something in me. I had put up with his lies, his games, over and over again. But when I saw Daisy and Brian looking at him… then at me… like they believed him? That was too much.If they walk out of this courtroom thinking Austin is their father, what happens after that? What will they ask me at home? How will I explain that I let them believe something that is not true? They love their father, even though they do not know who he really is. If I stay quiet, they might think I kept him from them on purpose. They might never trust me again. And I cannot let that happen. I would rather lose everything else than lose their love.Austin looked at me like he was confident I would say his name. My mo

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Who is he?

    Lana's POVGoing to court with my ex because of my children was something I never thought would happen in my life. Deep down, I felt Austin was planning something. Something I was not ready for.We were five in the car, me, my two children, Lee, and his mother. We all stepped out at the same time, and that was when I realised Austin had brought me to family court. I was too angry to even look at the documents he handed me earlier.As I walked into the courtroom, my eyes caught a pair I was not expecting, my mother and her boyfriend. I stopped, surprised. I had no idea they would come. My mother came straight to me and pulled me into a hug.“Lana, it is time,” she said close to my ear.“Mum, it is not that simple,” I replied.“How long will you keep pretending you do not know the truth? Why put yourself through all this when you already do?”I did not want to argue with her. I kept walking forward. Then I saw him, the man I once loved with everything I had. Austin. I did not want to se

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   We couldn't control our feelings when alone

    Lana’s POVI had never felt this shy or embarrassed before, not until I heard those words from Mrs Sheila. She must have been disappointed in me. I could not help but think that her opinion of me had changed. Before now, she had never seen me and her son acting close, at least not in any emotional way.As soon as she left my room, I moved away from Lee and walked towards my bed. I looked at him, hoping he would feel just as embarrassed, but he seemed completely calm. It was like none of it affected him. In fact, the moment the door closed behind his mother, he started walking towards me.“What are you doing? Are you trying to touch me again? How do you think your mum sees me now? Like I am cheap..”Before I could finish, Lee pressed his fingers gently against my lips, stopping me from saying more.“My mum has always wanted Rita out of my life,” he said. “I never wanted to treat women the way some men do. I was only waiting for a reason to let Rita go, and after what she did, being wit

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Is this really what she needs right now?

    Lana’s POVDid Lee make me drunk on purpose that night at the club years ago? Even if I could not remember everything, I still recognised the label on that bottle of wine he brought. If Lee was so angry that his best friend slept with his wife, what would he do if he found out what happened between us?There was no way I would drink that wine again. I knew what it did to me that night. Maybe it was not the exact drink I had with Lee, but I remembered seeing that same bottle lying empty on the hotel floor when I was trying to leave.“Am I still like a stranger to you? Why do you hide things from me? I really want to know more about you,” he said while we were heading home from the bar. We would have stayed longer, but Austin kept calling and it ruined the mood. I became upset, and Lee finally asked,“Is that the father of your children?”That was when I stood up, and we left.In the car, I folded my arms while he kept glancing at me. He clearly wanted me to talk about my past. As we go

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Please forgive me

    Lee’s POVWhen Rita said she was pregnant, the first thing that came to my mind was what Austin had told me. I did not even look shocked, because I already knew she had been with someone else. It had been a long time since I touched her. There was no way I was the father.“So it was true!” I said.“True about what?” she asked, her eyes full of fear as I moved closer. She stepped back.“You have been sleeping around?”“What are you talking about? Who told you that?” Her voice got louder, trying to defend herself. Andrew had begged me not to mention his name, so I stayed silent.Then, she began to cry.“Are you doubting me?” she asked, placing her hand on her chest. “What have I done to deserve this? Do you not love me anymore? I have spent years going to hospitals, trying everything just to carry your child. Is this how you are going to treat me?”I kept quiet, arms folded, watching her. She tried to touch me, but I stepped back.“Are you rejecting me and our baby?” she asked. Her word
