Semua Bab FORBIDDEN PASSION: Sold to My Uncle, Loved by His Son: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Lexi’s POV“Where are we going to, Lorenzo?” I asked quietly, but there was no response. I pressed on through the thick bush, every thorny cricket piercing my skin.I didn't want to fight this fight, but then it wasn't my battle to fight. I needed to be alive and away from Jackson, or Lorenzo would be exposed. I wasn't wearing any footwear, so my bare feet thudded against the cold ground, barely making a sound.Lorenzo walked ahead of me, his steps swift and his breath very hollow. I couldn't help but admire his expertise; he knew every nook and cranny, every hidden corner, and every shortcut. This made me want to trust that he knew what he was doing.Of course, he was a smart man; he always knew what he was doing. There was no doubt about that. I should be grateful he was trying to save me. I mean, he risked everything just to get me out of that room. I knew it was hard, but he still did it, but then I still can't stop thinking about the fact that this wasn't supposed to happen. I w

Jade’s POV“It's a new day!” I say as I yawn at the same time I look at my side to see Jackson's warm arms on my chest, his eyes shut and his breathing steady and tickling on my shoulders.He looked so handsome and innocent, and I wanted to pull him close and kiss him all over, but that would wake him up, and the last thing I wanted to do was to disrupt his lovely sleep.He had already had a stressful night. I wanted him to rest while I made myself resourceful. A part of me wanted to stay with him in bed and pretend a little while longer that this was normal, that it was normal, that I was no longer a maiden.That I had just found out that I was from a mafia family, and that I wasn't weak and useless as I thought I was; I held so much power, and I had provided it by sending Atlas that letter. That was my first step to breaking free.They say if you want to become the best version of yourself and leave your old self behind, you need to face your fear fearlessly without remorse and care

Jade’s POVAtlas is a joke, a big clown, and I wouldn't let him oppress me like he used to. I smile and fold my arms across my chest. “Good morning to you too, Atlas!” I was crowded.“I don't care about your stupid greetings, girl.”Oh! I see; he still thinks that he has that stronghold over me, but he was wrong; he had lost it. I was now my own woman, and no one, not even Jackson, could control me.“The least you can do is to compose yourself in front of the Don,” I said, then I paused before continuing, “I just want to make this clear: I didn't write that letter for your approval; that's wrong. I just wanted to be clear about so many things in my life, and this is one of them. I don't give a damn about what you think about it; you either accept it or go to hell.”Atlas’s expression changed; I could see a slight surprise on his face. He didn't expect I could say all these things. He was used to the timid Jade his stupid son used to bully.I wouldn't deny the fact that my heart skipp

Atlas’ POVThis is bullshit!I can't believe I spent so many years trying to bury the truth, yet Jackson still finds a way to get to me. He is such an arsehole. This cannot be happening to me, not right now.Years ago I lost my sweet woman in the most gruesome and scariest way ever. I fell into depression. Coupled with the fact that I had to soak my hands in blood trying to cover the irreversible mistake my son committed. And yet here I was, standing in the presence of the two people I dreaded, defenceless and attacked. I still can't believe that all the years of hard work were for nothing.They knew all along. Maybe not Jade, but Jackson. I had underestimated him greatly; he was a threat that I needed to take down. He was trouble, and that was all he was going to be if I didn't handle him.I needed to look for a way to make this go away, and there was only one way, which was to make it seem like he was just bluffing even with the evidence he had.I needed to say anything to prove hi

Jackson’s POVI am alone once again in my father's study. It is a bit dusty and still smells of the toast I drank the last time I was here. I called in a maid to clean it up before sitting on the plush leather chair, staring at the stacks of documents scattered across my desk.As the new don, I needed to make sure business was handled and everything was in control. I needed to make sure the house was in one piece; that would make the people respect and fear me.I looked at one document that read ‘ Selling the maidens’. I can't believe my father used to traffic people, that was one of the ways he made money, he was indulging himself in so many nasty things, he always thought he was untouchable.Not until jade happened. She came into my life and ended the things in the family. Jade is a blessing to my life and I need to look for a way to protect her and keep her away from Atlas.He was a bad omen. The name alone made my grip on the pen tighten. Thinking about how that arrogant bastard d
