All Chapters of His Forbidden Possession: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I froze.His voice echoed through the room. Not from the door, not from the window, but from everywhere and nowhere all at once.Where is he? I couldn’t see him. But I could feel him.“I’m here,” he said softly, and I could hear him in my mind.I don’t know what was happening. Am I going crazy?“River?” I called, feeding the delusions in my mind. “Are you… Are you really here?”I asked that question even though I already knew the answer. He’s not here. It will be impossible for him to enter this room with all the locks, and I’m sure that there were more security guards outside the mansion, even if I hadn’t seen them.Then, why could I hear his voice?“I’m here,” he repeated, and this time, his voice was softer than before.I stood up, walking in circles, tears blurring my vision as I tried finding him.“They already took you away. I saw them—”“I’m not gone,” his voice insisted. Still, I couldn’t see him, but it felt like he was talking to me.Or… is it already from my imagination? Bu

“And we’re done!” the stylist exclaimed again after finishing the touches she did on my dress. “It’s time for the party, baby!”Everyone was so delighted… excluding me.They led me down the long corridor, past the guests and our relatives whose eyes seemed to judge me, or use me for their own gain as well.I wanted to scream and fight, but the medicine kept me weak. It felt like I had lost my voice, my strength, and my sanity.“Walk on your own,” Mom said as she guided me into the aisle, her other hand holding my arm, nails burying into my skin as if she was giving me a warning. “Remember. This will be your life now.”I didn’t answer, even though I knew it would make her mad.This is the last string of my defiance. No matter what I do, there’s no way I could escape here.I don’t like it, but I started walking toward Hans, who was smiling while waiting for me to reach him.He looked stunning in his white suit, and I understand why so many women were swarming over him. For their eyes, h

“Serenity,” River suddenly called, halting my thoughts as he held both my arms. “Tell me. What are you feeling right now?”River… He’s the only person I opened myself to. I gave everything to him, knowing that he won’t hurt me like the others. That was what my mind and heart told me.But something is destroying all my senses. Something I couldn’t even figure out.His presence should have been familiar, but it wasn’t. Not anymore.“I… I don’t know,” I admitted, my hands shaking in fear. “What’s happening? Who… Who are you?”For a moment, I forgot who he was. He became just a stranger in my eyes.My heart knows him, but my mind couldn’t recognize him. It feels like something’s clouding my mind.His eyes darkened, and pain crossed his face.“I’m River,” he said quietly, almost like he was reassuring himself as much as me. “I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m here. You’re safe here.”“River…” I muttered.Saying his name felt right on my tongue, but his face didn’t completely match my m

“Y-Yes!” I tried to hide the happiness in my voice, but I think I failed.The door opened, revealing River. He looked exhausted, but when he saw my face, his expression lit up.But his happiness converted into worry upon seeing the IV drip on my arm.Quickly, he went toward me and sat at the edge of the bed. “How are you feeling?”“Shitty and scared,” I answered honestly with a chuckle. “Every time there is too much silence, it feels like my mind is doing its best to take me down. So I’m glad that you’re here. Thank you for stopping all the noises in my head just by your presence.”I can’t remember the time I became honest like this, but it feels so liberating. If it’s with River, there’s nothing I should be afraid of.River didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he smiled, leaned down, and kissed my forehead.“I’m done with what I needed to take care of, so I won’t leave now,” River said, gently reassuring me as he caressed my hair. “Don’t worry about a thing and get some sleep. I’ll ta

River frowned. “What are you talking about?”“I heard her speak while she’s spacing out. It was in French,” Evelyn muttered, looking River in the eye. “And it’s not like she learned it before, especially not in the kind of environment she was in.”Evelyn added, “She’s a native. And you know what? She kept on calling her mom in another language. Another thing? Earlier, she showed signs of breathing difficulty. Do you know what I suddenly remembered?”“You’re overthinking it, Evelyn,” River said, trying to dismiss all her statements. “Serenity or I don’t need questions right now—”“It’s the incident when the Montgomery Mansion was burned to the ground!”River stopped speaking. For a moment, he also forgot to breathe.“That’s where the Princess was lost, too,” she added. “And you’re aware that I have the chest that came from the late king and queen, right?”“Stop it, Evelyn…”“I checked everything as soon as I had the suspicion that she may not be just your cousin… but an important perso
