All Chapters of Once Forbidden, Now Forever : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

NORA'S POV I had contemplated on how to break the news to Aiden. I wanted to end it through text but thought of how cruel that would be, he didn't deserve to be treated that way, so I sent him a text stating that we needed to talk.The next day after work, I sat at our usual spot at my favorite coffee shop as I waited for him. About twenty minutes later, I sighted him from afar. My heart broke into a million pieces as I watched him walk up to me.I had cried myself to sleep last night becsuse of what needs to be done. I need to end things with him just as his grandmother wants."Hey baby, I'm sorry for being late.....I was in a meeting" he apologized as he pecked me on the lips."Hi" I greeted him with a forced smile."Why haven't you ordered anything yet?" He asked "I'm fine, I don't feel like eating anything " I replied him as I stared at him. This was probably going to be the last time I would see him and be this close with him.I looked away as tears began to form in my eyes.I

NORA'S POV After giving it much thought I finally came to the decision of leaving the company. I figured that there was no point in staying in a place that would keep on reminding me of my lost love.Besides, If I really want to stay out of Aiden's life, it means I must stay away from everything that concerns him, hence why I've decided to hand in my resignation letter.I got to the office very early the next morning and went straight to the store to pick up an empty box, I was going to need it to put all my stuff in. I was grateful for the empty office, at least I would be able to resign and get my things without drawing much attention to myself.So I thought, until the door to the office opened, I was already halfway through when Macy walked in."What are you doing?" She asked me but I ignored her and continued to put my remaining things into the box."Why are you packing your things? Did the company ask you to go?" She asked and then gasped almost immediately. " oh my God, is it b

FIVE YEARS LATER.NORA'S POV"Are you going to be late again today?" Jade, my best friend asked over the phone as I studied the documents on my laptop."I'm soo sorry Jade, but it seems like it." I replied and then continued. " There's a lot to do right now at the office, I promise to make it up to you " " You had better do Nora, I'm not playing, you owe me" Jade repliedI met Jade about 6 years ago right before my life turned upside down due the Hart's family. We had been roommates and right now, we stay few blocks from each other and she's always ready to babysit Duke, my son.Everyone at the company I work for, is swamped with work at the moment and as the executive secretary to the CEO of Bioflor company, it is my duty to oversee and make sure that the job is well done." Yes ofcourse. I'm going to make it up to you " I told her"Good" she replied and then after a brief pause, she continued. " I just fed him, he is presently watching SpongeBob on my tablet " "That's great Jade. I

NORA'S POV " Buddy, Jade told me how well behaved you were yesterday...I am impressed" I said to my 4 years old son as I drove him to preschool the next morning." I did just as you asked" he replied and then continued " I wanted to make you proud mommy""Oh my dear...I am super proud of you" I said to him with a smile on my face. The older he grew, the more he amazes me with how smart and adorable he is and everyone of those actions warms and fills my heart with joy.I remembered how he had showered me with love with sleepy eyes when I showed up at Jade's apartment to pick him up last night. And every now and then I can't help but notice the resemblance between him and his father. The one person I'm never going to see again." Mom...?" Duke called out, bringing me back from my wandering thoughts." Yes my love.." I answered as I gave him a quick glance at the back seat."Are you also going to be late today?" He asked innocently " No my love. Mommy won't be late today okay...I pro

NORA'S POV I sat in silence as I watched the IV fluid enter into my son's veins. I breathed out a sigh a relief as he slept peacefully on the hospital bed. My head had been filled with a thousand and one thoughts as I rushed to the hospital few hours ago. Duke is my entire world and the essence of my living right now. I honestly do not want to even imagine how I'd cope if anything bad were to happen to him. I placed my hand on his and gave it a title squeeze and then stared into his precious face."Miss Simmons, the test result shows that your son is allergic to crustaceans......." The doctor had said to me immediately I arrived at the hospital. " Shell fish to be precise" he added."Shell fish?" I repeated " Yes ma'am " he replied as I gave him a confused look. I didn't pack any shell fish for him to preschool, infact I hardly prepare it at home. Just as I was about to ask more questions, Miss Parker, his homeroom teacher appeared. "Miss Simmons...I am soo sorry" she said to me
