All Chapters of Forbidden desires: In love with my brother's best friend : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Emma's POV I had barely slept throughout the night because no matter how hard I tried to take a nap, it seemed almost impossible to do so. Max was on my mind, and Edward seemed to be as well. I didn't love Edward, but he was nice; he treated me nicely, and I knew he would never hurt me. But I knew Max, I had loved him, might still love him, and was trying everything to keep that to myself even when it was almost impossible to do so. My parents were a story I would rather not live in anymore. My dad had ended up with my mother, and that was it, but they had problems when his mate showed up, even though it had been years. He had left my mother and me for that mate of his and had only gotten a recollection of what he had been doing when I was in the hospital, which I didn't know if I was to laugh or smile at, for it was a lot. If there was anything that I really needed to know in the course of all of these. Is that what it felt like to have one's mate? What was the difference it wou

Max's POV It has been difficult to sleep a wink, but when I had been able to, I tried everything to push away the image of Emma curled around Edward out of my mind. I didn't want to think about the possibility of that happening even when I knew that there was a massive chance of it happening. She was in love with me or might still be in love with me, and that was one thing I was so sure about. My eyes settled on the wall clock, the apartment empty and hollow the same way my heart was. I inhaled deeply as I tried to drag myself out of bed when the bell rang. My feet traipsed across as I made my way to it, when I saw Emerald leaning against it. I could have shoved her away, insisting that I didn't want anything to do with her, but I knew that was almost impossible. She would come around like a pest, demanding to be around me. An annoying one.“You look as if you went through hell. Weren't you able to sleep last night?” She inquired as she tried to make her way in when my hand settle

Emma's POV “Thank you,” I said to Emerald in gratitude as I accepted the jacket while I searched around for Edward, who was nowhere to be found. “He insisted on staying away because he would rather not see you bare, especially since he hasn't seen you in bed yet.” She smiled while saying that, and it seemed sweet, yet awkward. “Did he hear?” I knew the possibility of that happening was high, and then she bobbed her head, giving an answer to what I had just asked. “And…”“He is planning to burn the school down, but you don't have to worry.” I couldn't lie, but I feared what his wrath would be like. It was such a sharp contrast to what I had been told about him. I had mistaken him as being spoiled and, as such, wouldn't be able to be hot-headed, but it seemed I had been wrong, and I had gotten more than I have always wanted. “He is waiting for you.” She added. “There.” She arched her head toward Edward, who was leaning against his Corvette, and when I stepped out, his eyes peered

Max's POV My day was ruined, and when I finally got back home, all I wanted to do was soak in my bathtub while I let the water run down my body when I noticed something seemed off. How was it possible that I hadn't taken note of that in the first place? My hands slipped around my baseball bat before I made my way over, taking steps until I was close. I had barely taken another when I noticed a shadow lurking; my heart skipped a bit at the prospect of that being a ghost, but I threw that off. What was the possibility of the dead showing up here, and even if it was to show up, why would it be in my apartment when there were many other places it could be in? Swinging the bat high enough, I waited, trying to get the head, when I heard a yelp. “What do you think you are doing? Do you want to kill my husband?” The voice asked, and I knew it was Lina, but what was she doing here? I scouted around, searching all over when the light came up. “When did you both get in? And why are you he

Emma's POV My hands wrapped themselves around Lina as I tugged her with me to the school canteen, taking note of the eyes that lingered on us. I was certain that the news about what had happened must have spread, and they knew not to come close to me or try any rubbish in any way. “It seems like I have missed a lot.” Lina said as she plopped into the chair beside her as she turned to the side where she wriggled her fingers at me. “You haven't.”“Oh please,” she slapped a hand across her face. “I have certainly missed a lot. When exactly did all these happen, and I didn't have an idea about it?”“I kept you in as well so you wouldn't miss a thing.”“Certainly you did, but you kept me away from one specific thing when I would have loved to be the first person you told.”“Lina, what is it about?” “Max,”“What about Max?” “He doesn't seem to have a chance with you anymore. I know, Emma, it wouldn't have been easy in the first place, and I get it, but….”“He rejected me, Lina. Not onc
