The King's Forbidden Love Chapter 22_ The Heat Beneath the Hurt
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
The King's Forbidden Love Chapter 21_ Fractured Calm
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
The King's Forbidden Love Chapter 19_ The Armor And The Ache
He sat slouched on the couch, loosening his collar and rolling up his sleeves, head tipped back as though the day weighed solely on him. His legs stretched out, boots resting on the stool. The air held faint traces of smoke and whiskey.“I didn’t call you to sit here silently,” he said the moment he sensed her beside him, voice sharp and controlled despite his closed eyes.The glass tilted in his hand, catching the dim glow. Smoke curled from the low-burning cigarette. His Adam’s apple lifted once in a quiet swallow before he muttered something under his breath, soft, blurred, yet still carrying authority.She angled her face away, breath trembling out. Her attempt to speak faltered before it emerged.Something shifted within him.His eyes snapped open. He pushed himself upright in one smooth motion, the slump vanishing as though it had never existed. His focus settled on her, intense and unwavering.“That’s not an answer,” he said, tone dropping into a cold register that filled the r
The King's Forbidden Love Chapter 18_ Territory and Command
He rushed out of the surveillance room, the images of the intruder still burning in his mind. His car waited outside. The engine roared to life, and the other cars followed. The city streets blurred past as he drove, the weight of the night’s tasks pressing down.Fifteen minutes later, he stepped into his office. Noah was already there, a file clutched in his hand. His expression carried the urgency he expected whenever something critical surfaced.“Boss, after tracking the Canadian king’s profile, I found something more valuable that links directly to Dorn,” Noah said.He paused. The name alone sharpened his focus. Dorn operated in the shadows of the underworld. He trafficked children and sold human organs through hidden channels, moving shipments across borders with calculated precision. He had been waiting for a weakness, and Noah had finally uncovered it.Noah set the file on the desk and opened it. Surveillance photos, transaction logs, and shipment routes filled the pages. He ta

She let out a soft, almost inaudible sigh as I came into view. I paused, noticing she was now fully awake. She turned her face toward the wall, rolling her eyes at me. I did not comment. Instead, I moved with quiet precision and sat beside her, letting my hand brush over hers. She cast me a bored look but did not pull away, fingers brushing a loose strand of hair from her cheek.“What happened back there?” I asked, voice calm, measured, eyes searching hers as if reading more than words.“Nothing,” she murmured, shifting slightly. “Just your voice wrecking my calm, like usual.” Her tone was teasing, yet the slight stiffening of her posture caught my attention.“Is that so?” I smirked. “Then rest. My meeting is done, you can sleep now.”Before she could react, I drew her gently into my side, my arms wrapping around her in a firm, grounding embrace. Her body stiffened slightly at first, then slowly relaxed. Her fingers lingered on my sleeve for a heartbeat longer than usual, and the wa
