Semua Bab His Forbidden Possession: Bab 1 - Bab 5

"Serenity, hon? Where are you?"I heard my mom calling me downstairs, but I'm still inside the bedroom, staring at my reflection in the mirror.I don't want it. I don't want to be married, nor entertain the mere thought of it."Serenity?" my mom called again, the impatience evident in her tone. "Are you still inside your room? I told you to move quickly. The Continental family was waiting for us."My stomach churned upon hearing those words. It only made me freeze in my spot, wanting to run away as fast as I could. But if I do that, my parents would surely be disappointed at me. After I work hard to please them, I can't let everything go in vain just because of this marriage."I'm coming!" I replied, forcing a smile as I opened the door. "Sorry if I took longer to fix myself than expected. I-I'm nervous, maybe because it's Hans."It's true. I'm nervous, but not because of Hans. I'm nervous that I might mess with that date they had set up for us. I don't like him as a person, what mor

My eyes widened. He’s right. For a moment, I forgot about it all… And I can’t deny that my heart feels lighter now that I don’t have any negative emotions.I released it.

Did he already know I’m not with Mia right now? But how?I slapped my forehead, realizing that Dad has many eyes around me. How could I think about staying away from them when they could bring me back home in a snap?“Shit,” I cursed again, staring at the phone. I don’t even want to answer it.And the phone died, revealing the wallpaper I had. It’s our family picture.River looked at it, and his expression darkened. It didn’t even change, as my Dad called me again for the nth time. I didn’t even notice it earlier—I was too busy cursing River while the rollercoaster took different turns.Shit. What should I do now? I know I should answer

My breathing hitched. His mouth onto my ear, feeling his breath onto my skin… Everything felt so sensual.Sensations sent onto my spine, and although my brain tells me this is wrong, I can’t stop my body from acting up.God, why? This is so much. I’ve never been with any man before, not to mention a man who’s as handsome and charismatic as River.“A-Alright…” I answered, trying not to show that much how nervous I was. “Can you step back now? Y-You’re too close. People might get the wrong idea.”River smirked, and instead of complying with my request, he even stepped closer—as if the closeness between us wasn’t still enough.Placing a strand of hair at the back of my ear, River muttered, “And why would they get the wrong idea? We’re cousins.”Clutching the fabric of my cloth, I controlled myself as a sudden sensation traveled into my body.Serenity, don’t entertain those thoughts! River is just messing with you!I repeated those words like a chant, like it’s the only thing that would
