All Chapters of His Forbidden Possession: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Where have you been?” I asked, the disappointment evident in my voice. “It has been a while since I last saw you.”I didn’t want to sound like a jealous girlfriend, but my tone and expression gave me away. River was also too observant to notice, causing him to chuckle.“I’m sorry. I just needed to take care of some… things.” It even looked like he was hesitating when he said those words. “I should have come back earlier. I didn’t even have an idea that this was too bad.”“What?” I frowned. “Do you have an idea that this will happen to me—”My head spun before I could even finish my sentence. If River wasn’t holding onto me, I might have stumbled to the floor again, just like what I did a few days ago.“Shit,” I muttered, my breath hot and ragged. “I’m not feeling good. Maybe I’ll just go back to my room—”“No,” River interrupted, holding onto me tightly so I won’t be able to move. He frowned as his expression became dark. “This won’t do. I’m calling a doctor—”“And who says that you

River’s eyes… They were telling me as if I'd gotten everything wrong, yet at the same time, he was happy with how things had turned out for us.“Anyway, you still don’t look good, Serenity,” Mom suddenly said, now looking at me as she was talking to me. “Why don’t you try to drink some water? It might help you.”Water?I suddenly looked at the water beside me. No, I wasn’t the one who poured it into the glass; it was one of our maids, who was also working directly for my mom.Suddenly, a realization hit me. My mom told me before not to drink a beverage if I wasn’t the one who opened it or poured it into the glass myself.She said that it was for my own safety. Being the Miller family’s only heir means that more people will try to take us down, especially me. No one even knew what the other people could do to me.Yet now… I’m just drinking beverages without even questioning where they came from.Why am I realizing it just now?“Serenity,” Mom called again, and I could hear the annoyan

My eyes widened at the realization that this could be harder on him than it is for me now. “I-I’m sorry!”I was about to move my body away, but suddenly, I looked at his lips and felt the overall warmth I had in his presence.I suddenly thought about all of the things I needed to choose, not because I really want it, but because my parents wanted me to go that path.My course, my perspectives, and even my marriage…They are the ones who decided on all of it. Is it time now for me to make the choice instead?“I don’t want to get off you,” I muttered, my breath fanning onto his neck. “I just want to stay here.”My voice was low but firm. I don’t know where I’m getting the confidence. The typical me would be so embarrassed that I’m in this position, but right now? I feel more confident. Maybe because it’s River who was in front of me?“Serenity,” River called, and there was something in his voice this time. “Your parents weren’t just sedating, but drugging you. They’re controlling you

His other hand moved again, and at that moment, I thought he’d caress my body like he had been doing before.But to my shock, he held my hand, as if he was telling me he won’t let go.“You don’t need to think or do anything,” River said, his voice low. “Just let me love you and take everything I’m giving you, and everything will be alright.”It took me a few seconds before I nodded.I will be lying if I say that I’m not afraid anymore. Everything I’m feeling right now is for the first time. He’s my first kiss, my first hug with a man, and every first that I could have with someone.But I just trusted the fact that this is River, and no matter what happens, he w

While we were cherishing the moment with each other’s arms, we heard a knock on the door.“Serenity, open this door right now!” Mom shouted from the outside, the anger evident in her voice. “If you don’t, we’ll be forced to break it!”I jolted upright, my heart thumping rapidly.“River… They must have known that you’re here in the room,” I muttered, biting my nails because of nervousness. “You need to go, or else they’ll find you here. We’re dead once they do!”Shivers ran down my spine as Mom continued knocking on the door, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before she completely lost her patience.“I know that River is inside. You can’t hide it from me now. Someone had seen him from the veranda!” Mom shouted as she banged into the door, the same as my beating heart. She added, “I told you always to keep the door unlocked and not to let strangers come in. But ever since River came here, you have always defied us! You weren’t like this before!”Mom was now losing her compos
