Lee's Pov

At first, it felt like a nightmare. I didn’t realize what was happening right away. I was sitting on the couch after Lana and the kids left. It still doesn’t feel like they’re gone for good. Lana had made it clear, she didn’t want to be called a homewrecker. I understood completely. I just wanted her to calm down. I knew those words from my ex-wife hurt her. But time heals, and that’s what I’m holding onto. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll go see her. I’ll tell her she’s the only woman I want in my life, now and always.

I lost track of how long I sat there, lost in my thoughts about Lana, especially about that night. I could still hear her voice, the way she sounded, the way she made me feel. In all my years with Rita, I never felt anything like what I shared with Lana in just one night we slept together.

“Lee, get up and eat your food. It’s getting late, and I know you don’t like eating at night.”

My mother’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. My eyes were already open, but it

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   I passed out

    Daisy’s povThe second I noticed the shift in the cafeteria, I knew something was off. Everyone’s attention had moved past me, and silence fell like a heavy blanket. My back tensed. My hands stopped mid-bite. There was only one reason the students would suddenly back away like that.He had arrived.Footsteps approached, slow and heavy. My stomach sank. I turned my head, barely lifting my gaze. A large shadow fell across the table, inching closer. My sandwich slipped from my hands. They started to shake. I tried to hold them still, but I couldn’t stop the shaking running through me.“Daisy Lee.”My breath caught in my throat.“Look at me,” his voice came, low, rough, and commanding.I looked up.It was him. Jaxon Ryder.I’d never met him before, but there was no doubt. The moment our eyes locked, I just knew. My first thought was… he looked incredible. Like trouble wrapped in perfect features. His black hair, sharp jawline, and piercing silver-grey eyes made it hard to look away. He st

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Why did everyone leave?

    So many years later: Daisy’s POVWhen I look back at how my mum and dad came together, and all the things I found out later. I can’t help but feel a sense of shame about their union. I’ve never told them that, never acted like I disapproved. I just learned to stay in my own world. Books became my escape, my quiet love.Until I started having this secret feeling that I’ve never said out loud. I wish I had a boyfriend.I snapped my book shut and rested my chin on my palm, elbow propped on the desk. A dreamy sigh slipped from my lips as my thoughts drifted, for the hundredth time, to the kind of love I wanted for myself.Again.He had to be like one of my book boyfriends. Tall, handsome, and funny, with just a touch of shyness that made him even more charming. The kind of guy who laughed at my silly jokes and told me I was beautiful, even when I wasn’t trying to be. He would treat me like I mattered. Love me. Only me. And never leave.I knew it sounded silly, falling in love with charac

    Lana's POVI had never felt this panicked in my entire life. The remote slipped from my hand and hit the floor.“Which hospital? Which hospital?” I kept asking the reporter on the screen, even though she could not hear me. She was saying other things, but I was only focused on the hospital. If his mother had not collapsed, I would have called her right away.Just as I was getting more anxious, the name of the hospital finally appeared.“Unity Hospital,” I said aloud, my voice shaking.I ran into my room and grabbed my handbag, but I had forgotten that I had taken the car key out earlier. I got to the car, sat inside, and then realised there was no key. My chest was tightening as if I was the one about to perform surgery. I rushed back inside.That was when I noticed my phone was not in my bag either. I snatched it along with the car key and dashed outside again.As I drove out, I picked up my phone and quickly called my mum. One hand was on the steering wheel, the other held the phone

    Lana’s PovLeaving Lee’s house felt like pulling myself in two directions. It was painful, but it also gave me some relief. I could not lie to myself anymore, I had started falling for him. He was attractive in a calm, honest way, and his kindness made it even harder to stay away. I wanted him. He could have filled the space in my life that had been empty for so long. But there was one problem, he was married to my friend. Wanting him was one thing, acting on it was another. I had no right to take that step.There was something else I had not told Lee. Suddenly, a bulk of cruel messages had flooded my social media. I had never been insulted like that in my life. I was certain it was Rita. She must have told people what happened, even shared my account details. She wanted to destroy me publicly, and I was helpless to stop her. So I made up my mind. If I truly wanted to prove that I was not trying to ruin their marriage, then the only option was to remove myself from their lives complet

  • The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known   Everything around me began to fall apart.

    Lee’s Point of ViewI was shocked. Completely thrown off. Lana’s story! Never, not even in my wildest thoughts, did I imagine she was the woman I had spent that night with. The night I was drunk… the night everything blurred into nothing. I had woken up confused, my head pounding, and beside me, one small earring. That was all I had left of her.I tried to forget. I tried to move on. I never thought I would see her again. How could I, when I did not even know who she was? But fate had other plans. And now… now I find out that woman was Lana. Lana, who I had started falling for. Lana, who had been taking over my thoughts without even trying. It all made sense now. The pull I felt towards her. The strange way my heart always searched for something more in her eyes. I had been looking to replace that lady, not knowing she was right in front of me all along.At the courthouse, when she stood up and said those words about Austin, I thought she was just angry. I believed she was reacting ou
