Lahat ng Kabanata ng Once Forbidden, Now Forever : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

AIDEN'S POV The realization that Nora must have taken my love for granted dawned on me. She probably already had another lover, hence why she ended things with me. She never really loved me, that had been my conclusion after I left Jason's place that day. But then, why didn't he tell me about it? I understand that he was trying to protect my feelings but he should have still brought it up still.Imagine how I felt when the child ran to Nora, calling her mommy. I am pretty sure that my heart had paused for a few seconds. I let out a loud sigh as I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. It was finally grandma's retirement party today and I would be picking up Olivia from her house. " I sent you a lapel for your tuxedo.... something to match my dress" she had said over the phone three days ago. I entered the walk- in closet of my room and then brought out the tuxedo I'd be wearing.Grandma Gloria had not taken the fact that I moved out of the mansion likely

NORA'S POV "Ready?" Salvador asked as soon as we approached the red carpet. I gave him a nod in response, actually it was more of a way to reassure myself that I could do this. I let out the smile I had been practicing to give for almost two days now and then let Salvador walk me to the red carpet. " Salvador Prichett.... it's soo good to see you" one of the press stated out loud Salvador gave them a big smile as we began posing for different shots." Salvador this way please" another said " Who's the gorgeous lady beside you?" Another asked " This is my date " He replied them proudly as I waved with a smile. " Are you a couple?" One asked as they kept on taking a billion photos of us. "I am here with my date and we both cannot wait to have a great time tonight" Salvador replied them and then began to lead us into the event hall.Grateful that he ignored the question, I let out a sigh as we walked into the hall. " Thank you" I said to him " You don't need to thank you babe...

AIDEN'S POV We all gave a round of applause to the orchestra as soon as they ended their performance. It was a way to honour grandma Gloria Hart. I glanced backwards a bit towards Nora's table to find Salvador whispering something in her ears. The act made her smile which in turn made my chest tighten. I still cannot believe that this is happening. Of all the women in San Diego that Salvador could have gone out with, why did it have to be Nora Simmons? How on earth I'm I ever going to be comfortable around him knowing fully well that he is sleeping with the woman my heart still yearns for? How am I supposed to come to terms with me fact that my best friend now has the woman that invaded my every thought? Am I just supposed to pretend as if everything was fine? Because everything is definitely not fine! I am not okay with it and it is driving me insane!I immediately felt Olivia's hand on mine, I tuned around to face her. " You should pay attention Aiden, you seem pretty distracte

NORA'S POV " last night, the entire Ingrid Group of Companies celebrated the long awaited retirement party of their chair person, Gloria Hart. " The presenter on the news announced as I watched the television the next day in my living room." The event consisted of very prestigious individuals and personalities in both the business and political industry . All was present to pay homage and show appreciation for Glora Hart's many years of hard work and some of which included both her grandsons giving their individual speech to appreciate the living legend" She continued I scoffed out loud as I continued to watch and listen." The highlight of the event had been when Gloria Hart herself announced the engagement of her eldest grandson, Aiden Hart to the Fashion guru, Olivia Vegera of KY fashion........the announcement had left everyone in shock has no one was expecting it....... this only proves ....."" Nora........" Jade called out, interrupting me. " I can't believe that you're putti

AIDEN'S POV " You need to calm down Aiden..... there's only soo much a drink or two can do" Jason said to me as I relaxed into the couch. " I understand that you're overwhelmed with all that's happening but I feel you need to be sober enough in other to figure something out" he added " Yea...... but I'm still getting a drink though " I replied. " I already promised Salvador.. you don't expect me to cancel do you?... not after when I already flew all the way down here " I added " It's fine.. I guess tonight won't hurt " he shrugged his shoulders in response Then an idea hit me, so I sat up straight. " You know what...... how about you come with me.....I feel like I might need someone to keep me under control especially when it comes down to a conversation involving Nora" I said out loud I watched as he hesitated. " Eeeerrrrrr, I wish I could but I'm having an early shoot tomorrow morning and I want to be in my best frame of mind " he replied me " Oh....." I started and then asked
