Chains of Forbidden Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Lillian's POVI stared at my phone screen, waiting for Marcus to call. I had been doing it for hours, but my eyes just got sore from the constant staring, and still, I received nothing.Eventually, I heard the doorbell ring, and I rushed out of bed, hurrying down the stairs. I almost tripped, but I managed to reach the door without any injury.With excitement, I swung the door open, hoping to see Marcus, but my hopes were dashed when I saw Alexander standing outside the house, wearing a huge smile.My mouth gaped in shock and disappointment, but before I could even recover, he pulled me into a tight hug."I missed you, Lillian," he said, gazing at my face with happiness in his eyes.I forced an awkward smile and widened the door's opening."Come in," I said, guiding him towards the living room."Do you like it here?" he asked."Yeah," I simply responded, taking a seat across from him."Do you want anything? Coffee? Tea?" I offered, but he shook his head."I am fine, Lillian. Where is

Lillian's POVAs I gazed at his face, guilt overwhelmed me.I could see the pain in his eyes.He looked at me as though I had betrayed him."Marcus..." I softly called his name and tried to hold his hand, but he brushed away my grasp."Do you believe in me, Lillian?" he asked, peering into my eyes. Faint hope shimmered in his gaze, expecting me to say yes, but I fell silent... lost for words.How can I accuse Alexander of raping someone when I've known him my entire life, and all he showed me was kindness?Alexander became my companion and sort of a second dad when my biological father ignored me.He treated everyone with kindness and was good to people, so I can't fathom if he is truly capable of doing such things."Alexander is a good man..." I said, and when he heard those words, he looked at me in disbelief, a sarcastic smile gracing his lips."Because he is a great pretender, Lillian. Everything he has shown you are his good sides, but in fact, he is nothing but a devil who abuse

Lillian's POVI can feel Lucas's glances on me, but I ignored him. When the other students started coming in, I decided to socialize to distract myself and to be away from Lucas.After a few minutes, the class started, and our professor stepped in.He was wearing round sunglasses, and his white moustache made him look old. He looked strict and intimidating.I sat straight and looked at him as he roamed his eyes around. When our eyes met, I smiled, but he just ignored me and took out an object from his bag - an apple."Paint this apple in an hour. Your timer starts now," he said, and he was about to walk away when Tiffany raised her hand."Won't we introduce ourselves first?" she bravely asked.The professor walked towards her, and I could see her hands trembling as he took a step closer."I don't care about your names, Miss. I care about your art. Impress me with your art, then I will be interested to know your name. But if you can't do that, why waste my time on knowing you?" he aske

Lillian's POVMarcus studied my face intently as if trying to process the words I had just spoken."Since when?" he calmly asked."Dad called me last night and told me that I am engaged to Lucas Bennett, and our engagement will be announced next month."Nervously, I waited for his response. Silence enveloped us, and as the moments passed, it felt suffocating.Will he break up with me?"I'll talk to your Dad," he said, but I immediately shook my head, refusing to let him handle this situation. He had so much on his plate, and even though he wouldn't admit it, I knew how tired he was from dealing with everything."I'll handle this one. I will convince Dad to call off the engagement, and if he doesn't agree, then I will convince Lucas," I explained.After a deep breath, Marcus nodded his head after a while."Are you mad at me?" I asked, fear surging through me because of how his mood had changed upon learning about the engagement."No," he said.I reached for his hand and held it, mainta

Marcus's POVI kept calling her name, but she didn't show up.I saw on the news that she's back in Washington, so I'm sure she's at the White House."Lillian, please!" I pleaded.I almost didn't recognize my voice. I sounded desperate, but I don't care. All I want is to see her.I know her dad is stopping her from calling me. It's been two days since I last heard her voice.I want to know if she's okay.I headed towards her room, but before I could open it, Gabriel showed up. He looks mad. Well, I created a huge mess, and his name is at risk, so I understand why he's angry with me."Leave, Marcus, I'm asking nicely," he said, not shouting, but I feel his rage."I need to see you, Lillian."I knelt on the floor, not minding what he would think of me. "Just let me see Lillian.""She isn't here," he coldly responded."Don't lie to me, please. I know she is here."I crawled towards the door and knocked with all my strength. "Love, please, I know you're in there."I kept knocking on her do
