All Chapters of His Forbidden Possession: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The original plan River had at that time was to return to France as soon as the party was over.But because of Seraphina, he decided to stay, even if it meant sacrificing the products he was currently building and his academics.“I’ll stay here for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Miller,” River said, forcing a smile, pretending to be friendly as he looked at Ricardo and Eleanor. He added, “Dad says that I should be familiar with the States. Sooner or later, Palmer Industries will expand here.”Ricardo looked so pleased upon hearing those words.“That’s great! Of course, you can stay here for as long as you want,” answered Ricardo with a smile. “Just make sure to tell your parents that we treated you well here, alright?”River nodded.He doesn’t care about his aunt and uncle, but about the girl they’re keeping.“Where’s my cousin?” River asked casually as he looked at his surroundings. “I haven’t seen her for a while.”“She’s an introvert and doesn’t like being with people she has just met rece

“I know…” Evelyn mumbled with a sigh, halting River’s thoughts. “And believe it or not, I understand. But River… This time, you have done the wrong thing.”River frowned, not understanding Evelyn’s words.“I’m protecting her,” he emphasized, his voice deeper than usual. “What’s wrong with protecting the person I love? I did that for her sake.”“No, you didn’t.” Evelyn shook her head. “Don’t get me wrong. I understand your intentions, but hiding the truth from her won’t protect the Princess from the pain. Instead, it will intensify it.”She added with a sigh, “And you just became a big contributor to that, even without you realizing, River.”The silence filled the conversation as River didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he clenched his fists, doing his best to control his emotions as he looked at the ground.He was trying to justify what he did. It was for Serenity. Once she knows the truth, she will collapse.‘But Evelyn was right. Just because I delayed it means that there will be l

I screamed and thrashed myself on the ground, not knowing how to stop the pain on my own.It felt like all the memories were surging into my mind, and it was overbearing since it was more than I could take. “Serenity!” River exclaimed, his expression laced with worry, as he held both of my hands, stopping me from hurting myself. “Evelyn, what should we do?!”“Take her back to the room!”River obliged. He carried me in a bridal style as he ran fast, making my head spin.More tears fell from my eyes as I held onto his shirt, wanting him to ground me, even if he’s also the reason why I’m having a hard time right now.Or maybe not.Maybe I’m just finding someone to blame because I can’t deal with these fucking feelings at all.“I know you hate me, but please… remember that you have me,” River said as he kicked the door open, then placed me on the bed. “You always have, and you’re already safe. You’re not there anymore.”I shook my head violently, biting my lower lip until I could taste m

River frowned. “What do you mean?”“I mean, I don’t know how the princess will end up in the States,” Lucian answered honestly. “I even thought that you might be hallucinating or forcing it, since you also wanted to find the princess, just like us.”I saw how River’s jaw tightened as Lucian said those words.I wonder why, but Lucian talked to me, halting my thoughts.“But now that you’re in front of me, I can tell at a glance. You’re the missing princess.”To my shock, Lucian kneeled in front of me, his one knee pressed on the floor.“Welcome back to France, your highness.”At first, my jaw fell because I wasn’t used to this, but it didn’t take a while.Someone inside me whispered that this isn’t just my life now.This is what my life really looked like before the Millers took me away.“Stand now, Lucian,” I commanded with a smile, my voice sweet yet authoritative. “And thank you for welcoming me.”*****A few hours after we finished the verification with Lucian’s help, I was recogniz

A few days later, River and I returned to America, specifically going to the place that had been my cage before: The Miller Mansion.It still looked the same—Polished on the outside, as if nothing horrible had happened in that elegant mansion, but rotten on the inside.I remained standing in front of the gate. My heart was thumping rapidly, and my mind seemed like it was telling me to back out. That this isn’t a good idea.But my heart tells me to go. It wanted closure, now I’m on my way to take it.River, on the other hand, remained silent as he stayed half a step behind me, yet his hand was on my waist, gently supporting me.He knew that this part was mine, and he’s giving me all the time that I need.“Just let me know when you’re okay, then we’ll go forward,” River told me, his voice low and gentle. “No pressure. Just take all the time you need.”I nodded and took a deep breath.“I’m fine…” I muttered, trying to sound convincing but miserably failing.But it doesn’t mean I’ll back
