Evan’s POV

It was close to two when I pushed the door open with a cigarette balanced between my fingers, its ember glowing faintly in the dim light. A familiar cloud of smoke followed me into the room as I stepped inside. My attention immediately settled on the figure resting on the bed.

She had fallen asleep after removing her jewelry and changing her clothes. Even in silence, the exhaustion softened her expression. Something about her presence shifted the atmosphere, making the room feel less empty without her having to speak or move.

I closed the door quietly and took my place on the bed beside her. I chose the left side while she rested on the right. The mattress dipped lightly beneath my weight, yet she continued sleeping without stirring.

My gaze traveled over her face with deliberate focus.

The faint lift of her shoulder.

The stray strand of hair across her cheek.

The calm shape of her lips.

The dim lamp beside the bed cast a soft glow over her features, giving her an un

  • The King's Forbidden Love   Chapter 25_ Corners of Nowhere

    Time blurred into midnight as he came up the stairs, yawning, lazily sweeping his eyes around as though half-asleep until they landed on her figure, messily tangled on the couch.He twitched his brows, examining her from head to toe and huffed in annoyance, nostrils flaring.“Such a stubborn kitten, huh? Let’s see how long you remain away,” he murmured under his breath, devilish shadows crossing his face before disappearing to change.Silence lingered in his absence, thick and heavy, until it thinned, rippled and cracked open with something else, as the place was no longer still but alive, bursting with cheers and laughter.Music vibrated through the walls like a heartbeat too loud for her chest. Glasses clinked, voices climbed higher and Jenna turned her head toward the commotion and froze.Her breath snagged when she spotted Evan entering, his presence swallowing the air whole, causing everyone to scream even louder as though his very existence pulled noise from their throats.She s

  • The King's Forbidden Love   Chapter 24_ The Feeling That Hurt

    She sat on the swing, swaying in slow arcs, blonde hair spilling over her shoulders like sunlight cascading across rippling water.Her gaze clung to the sky as though she were a bird mapping escape routes. The golden rays filtering through the trees softened her sharp features, turning them almost ethereal, like a portrait caught somewhere between dream and waking.A faint smirk played at his lips when his eyes finally found her after the long, isolating day.He stayed behind the pillar a moment, silent, as if observing a fragile sculpture stir to life, beautiful, delicate, unreachable, the very embodiment of a dream hovering just out of reach.She didn’t sense him at first, lost in her own world, until his quiet step forward and the clearing of his throat sliced through her thoughts.She flinched, his sudden step snapping her attention sharply, as her head turned sharply to meet his eyes.His dark, intense stare pierced through her, unwavering.She tried to avert her eyes and slip fr

  • The King's Forbidden Love   Chapter 23_ In The Crossfire

    Next DayThe chilly evening silence settled over the office like a heavy blanket, pressing down as Evan reclined in his chair, eyes drifting across the pile of documents before him. The ticking clock marked the stillness, its steady beat a stark contrast to the tension winding through the room.Suddenly, the door swung open without a knock, the hinges groaning as the person stepped inside.Mr. Enzo didn’t glance up immediately, as if he already knew who had entered. He set his pen aside, letting the pause stretch like the calm before a storm, before finally lifting his gaze. His eyes examined the figure standing there, expression flat, revealing neither surprise nor welcome.He leaned forward, his presence sharp as a blade, and sank into the chair opposite him. “You called me,” he said after a brief greeting, his voice measured. “What’s so important?”Mr. Enzo closed the file in front of him, sliding it aside. His fingers intertwined as he leaned forward, elbows resting on the polishe

    The harsh fluorescent light washed across her face, exposing the crimson streaks smeared along her palms. Her chest heaved violently, each breath a shard of pain, her pulse hammering through her temples.She leaned over the sink, knuckles pressed hard to the porcelain, fighting to steady herself. The chill of the tiles beneath her hands offered no anchor. For a fleeting moment, she thought her legs would give out.She kept glaring at her face as the mirror betrayed her, wide eyes flickering with shock and pain, fear and disbelief warring in their depths.How had a simple visit to my family’s house turned into punishment? I didn’t deserve to be treated like that just for coming home late.She cupped cold water to her nose, trying to rinse the blood away, but her shoulders caved inward as though something had hollowed her out. The tears coursed down her face, soaking his shirt as she clung to him, refusing to stop.Meanwhile, Evan entered the room after changing into his nightclothes. H

    On the other hand, Jenna stepped into the lounge, shopping bags in hand and a wide smile still playing on her lips, her purse hanging loosely from her shoulder, as her eyes swept the room, searching for Evan, but he was nowhere in sight.Her gaze drifted toward the dining table. It was exactly as she had left it that morning. She frowned, her brows knitting together.Didn’t Evan have dinner? she wondered. He never missed his routine, eight o’clock sharp, never later.The silence pressed in on her. No one appeared, and the maids, as always, had retreated to their quarters after finishing dinner and cleaning the kitchen, their work for the day complete.She entered the bedroom and found it empty as well. Everything seemed untouched. The neat bed, folded blanket, closed bath door and nothing disturbed there. Unease flickered across her features.She set the shopping bags on the table, eased her purse off her shoulder, and opened the cabinet beside the mirror, a flicker of unease running

  • The King's Forbidden Love   Chapter 20_ Chasing Danger

    The sunlight streamed softly through the curtains as she stood by the bed, sipping from her coffee cup while preparing her bag.She was going to visit her parents’ house, a visit she had asked Evan’s permission for, and he had allowed her until evening.Since her marriage two months ago, she hadn’t stepped into her family home, she had only kept in touch through short phone calls.Every time she rang, they asked when she would visit, saying how much they missed her. Alexa had urged her many times as well, and at last, Jenna had decided to go.She slid her phone into the bag, zipped it, and set the empty cup aside.Evan had already left for the office at eight, reminding her before leaving not to stay past evening.After locking the windows and drawing the curtains, she stepped out of the room, light makeup brightening her features, her hair falling loose around her shoulders, jewelry prominenting her complexion as her purse swung gently at her side.She stopped by the kitchen first to
