The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Natalia's POVI took my kids to visit my siblings today. I had missed them so much. Now that they both have jobs, I no longer have to worry about leaving them behind.“It’s good you came, sister. I missed you and Toper,” Cassandra said as she hugged me tight. She had changed so much. My little sister was now a grown woman. She worked as a secretary for Leonardo Romano. Honestly, I never understood why she chose to work for Leo when she could have applied anywhere else.She and Juliana both finished four-year degrees. I, on the other hand, only completed two years. I had to start working early to help support my siblings after we lost our parents at a young age.“Sorry it took me a while to visit,” I told her.“Hi, auntie Cassandra!” Belle greeted her cheerfully.“Oh, Belle! You are so beautiful. Just like me!” she joked, laughing as they hugged.“Is Uncle Marcus not with you?” she asked.“No, he is not,” I answered simply. “He said he had something important to take care of.” I did no

Marcus’ POVWhen I arrived home, the house was quiet. My wife and kids were not there. I had planned to go with them to the market earlier, but an emergency meeting came up at the office. I really did not want to go, but I had to because the client I was meeting was very important.I turned when I heard the sound of the front gate. Natalia was walking in, holding shopping bags, with our children following behind her. I went to meet them.“Hello, honey,” I greeted, taking the bags from her hands. I bent down to kiss her lips, holding it for a moment longer than usual. She laughed and gave me a playful tap on the arm, her cheeks turning pink.Even after all these years, Natalia still gets shy when I kiss her in front of people. I do not mind at all. I want everyone to see how much I love my wife.“Marcus, the children are here! Save that for later,” she said, pouting slightly. I smiled and kissed the top of her head.“I just could not help it, hon. I missed you. I have been waiting here

Marcus’ POVIt was the day of Natalia’s burial. I could not eat or even drink water. My body did not feel hunger or thirst, only the crushing pain in my chest from losing her. It felt like my heart had been shattered into pieces, and I did not know if it could ever be whole again.Tears slid down my face as I stared at Natalia’s coffin being lowered into the ground. I held a white rose in my hand but could not find the strength to throw it onto her casket. My lips would not open. Earlier, only Juliana and Cassandra spoke during the mass. I could not. I was somewhere far away in my head, too lost in grief. I knew that if I tried to speak, I would break down completely. The weight of knowing I would never see her again was unbearable.“Marcus.” Henry’s voice pulled me back. I had not noticed that the grave had already been filled with soil. I was still clutching the white rose.I could not let her go. I wanted her with me forever. The thought of releasing her felt impossible. My knees g

I put my arm around her shoulders. “That was before, honey. Not anymore. From now on, you will live like a queen with me. I would reach for the stars and give them to you. I would swim across the ocean just to be with you.”Natalia made a face. “Those lines are so corny. That will not work on me. Tonight, you will be sleeping outside the blanket,” she teased.My eyes widened. “No way, honey. Please do not do that. I will not be able to sleep.”I caught a faint smile on her lips, but she said nothing more and simply kept walking. I scratched my head and glanced at Toper, who had been watching me. I gave him a smile, and he smiled back.When we arrived home, Natalia and the kids went straight to our bedroom, while I headed to my small office. I had it built so that I could work from home whenever I did not feel like going to the company. I opened my laptop to check if my male secretary had sent me anything important.Sure enough, my inbox was full of emails from our clients. Even though

The bold letters screamed at her. Her eyes quickly scanned the page.Great! If you really want to earn money, why not apply? You will serve rich men here in the Philippines. Each session pays one hundred thousand dollars. If you want to earn more, simply do whatever he wants. All that is required is to give your virginity. Yes, you will give it in exchange for money. This job is not protected by the government. If you tell anyone, you could die.Liana gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. The folder slipped from her fingers and dropped onto the floor. Her eyes shot to Sonia, who could not even look at her. Her friend’s head was bowed low, shame shadowing her face.“Do not tell me, you are really going to sell yourself for money? You are joining this kind of work? Sonia, how could you let someone use you like that? You are too young for this!”Sonia’s eyes finally lifted, and Liana saw tears brimming. Her voice trembled. “Liana, if I had money, I would never even think about this. But
