Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forbidden: He is not someone to mess with: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

It just pays twenty bucks for a day. By now, she had amassed one hundred and eighty bucks. She needs that twenty bucks to cover the first part of her father's hospital bill which is almost five hundred dollars. Though she still needed to make the three hundred dollars, she could at least petition the hospital administration for an extension of time to pay with the little money she had. This was the end of her patience. Just as she was beginning to feel she could actually live a better life, everything shattered again. Robert studied the open display of despair unfolding in front of him, a sense of delight lighting up his eyes. He sneered and said, "You want money..." she looked up and nodded. "Work for me..." he said and Izzy felt her whole body break into a cold sweat. He pulled her face closer to him, just an inch away from his lips. "Please me and I will pay you" Izzy quivered. Her eyes turned red. "Aren't you good at that?" he sneered. Izzy was furious. What th

Author's point of view... "Sign this!" he demanded. She took the paper from him and began to flip it. At first, she thought it was some kind of contract or something but as she saw it, her brows creased. It was blank. Izzy was horrified. She started to feel faint and sick again. This is so unfair! she thought despondently. How could he make her sign a blank paper? When she regained consciousness, she shook her head vehemently. "No..." she said defiantly. "It's a blank paper. I will never agree to sign that." He gave a brief sneer before his eyes became icy once more. "Do you have any objection?" he asked in his ever-cold tone. Izzy couldn't think of anything to say. She was exhausted and she felt she could no longer fight him. He looked at her with a contemptuous smile, pulled out that piece of paper from her hands and stared at it. "Do you want me to write something on it? Maybe I can help you to write" Izzy stared at him, what did he mean? What will he write?

Author's point of view... Izzy felt as if a huge burden was lifted from her head. She will be meeting her father after so long. Though he is in a coma, for now, he will get better soon. After all the doctors who serve the patients in the VIP rooms are all the most efficient and experienced ones. She was appreciative of the stranger who had hired her. Though he is a monster, he is still a better man after all. Reaching the VIP section, Izzy saw Lissa at the entrance, eagerly waiting for someone. Despite her troubles and those pains, Izzy forced a smile on her face and made her way towards Lissa. She hugged Lissa, relieved. She was glad that her family and her father would soon be fine, despite everything she had to go through. "Mom, don't worry, everything will get better now..." she said closing her eyes. "Everything is resolved..." Izzy was so happy that he didn't hesitate to hug her Mom who despised her every time. However, her happiness and her relief were not long

Author's point of view... After quite a while, Izzy felt a soft touch on her forehead and slowly opened her eyes. She observed a man's somewhat hazy visage looking at her through her impaired vision. "Hey get up" A man's concerned voice echoed in her ears, "Are you okay?"She heard him talking but that voice was just like someone talking inside a trunk. Audible but not clear. Her head throbbed as she tried to focus on that face. As she couldn't take that pain anymore, she closed her eyes again. It was in the night that she regained her consciousness and this time it was much better than before. Her gaze swept across the dimly lit room and she froze immediately. That place wasn't a hospital room or her dormitory, it was a presidential suite. Oh God...! How did I end up here? She jolted up into a sitting position. "Lay down..." a cold voice reverberated in the room. Izzy instantly steadied herself as she recognized that voice. "It...it was him!!" Why was she with

Author's point of view... The next day morning, Claudia stepped into Isaac’s hospital room, her expression composed yet determined. She gulped nervously. She had been searching their house for that one thing the whole day but couldn't find it there. The only possible place it could be is in Issac's personal belongings. And Isaac had it kept near him before he passed out that day. "Those papers must be in the hospital room. In his safe... I have to find it...I have to find it today..." Claudia was determined to get that blueprint at any cost by the end of the day or Michael could do anything to her. The hum of medical equipment filled the background as she found Lissa, weary and haggard, sitting vigil by Isaac’s bedside. Claudia slowly walked towards her and placed her hand on Lissa's shoulder. "Mom, you look exhausted. When was the last time you had a proper rest?" Claudia asked gently. Lissa sighed, she looked at Claudia and smiled then her eyes went back to Isaac’s still f
