All Chapters of The Forbidden Affair: The Man I Should Never Have Known: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Daisy’s povWednesday came, and with it, another realization. Jaxon was like a storm cloud. When he was not teasing or scaring me, he was always serious and deep in thought. And honestly, that worried me more than when he tried to scare me.I also found out that Jaxon liked physical touch, and I actually found that sweet. He always held my hand whenever we were together. Instead of sitting across from me during lunch, he always sat beside me. He liked to touch my hair and play with it. Every time we were alone, which thankfully happened a lot, he would kiss me and hold me close.During lunch that day, Jaxon was clearly in one of his serious moods. I could tell his mind was elsewhere. He kept checking his phone and had a frustrated look on his face. He ate the chicken and bacon pasta with French bread that I made for him without saying much. From time to time, he would rest his hand on mine and give it a light squeeze. I stayed quiet, but I could not stop worrying. By now, he would nor

Daisy’s povI had never wanted to hurt anyone in my life, until I met Jaxon Ryder. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye and wished, for a brief moment, that it was legal to commit murder. He was enjoying the burger I had made for him, and I honestly wished he would choke on it. Or just drop dead.I clenched my teeth, trying not to scream as memories from yesterday came rushing back. I shut my eyes tight, but the scene kept playing in my head. I was never reading a book again. Ever. I should not have brought Fifty Shades of Grey to school, let alone read it. But I was bored waiting for Jaxon, and it was the only book I had in my bag.During the ride home, Jaxon kept shaking with laughter, trying to hold it in, while I seriously thought about jumping off his motorcycle. Before he left, he kissed me, with a smile, and kept laughing, shaking his head like he had just witnessed the funniest thing on earth. I wanted to kick him so badly. He was unbelievably annoying. But then I rememb

The sound of her voice, the shake in it, kept playing in his mind like a broken record. He shut his eyes. That bastard. With a loud curse, Jaxon grabbed his phone and hurled it across the room. It crashed against the wall and landed on the carpet near the sofa, making the couple there jump up and flee without a word.“That idiot!” he shouted.“What happened?” Rohan came rushing in, with Harry right behind him. “What’s wrong, Jaxon?”Jaxon’s jaw was clenched so tight, his words came out in a harsh growl. “He has her number.”Rohan’s expression changed instantly. “Maybe she gave it to him?”“She didn’t,” Jaxon snapped, dragging his hand through his hair. His whole body was tight with rage. “She told me she’s been getting calls like that since before we met. He never talked, until tonight. And tonight, she heard him.”“What did he say?” Harry asked.Jaxon turned toward him sharply. “He didn’t say anything. She heard him breathing. Heavy. She said he was groaning too, and she didn’t get i

Monday morning came and with it, a fresh wave of disaster. I stared at the papers in my hands, my eyes wide. I squeezed them shut and took a deep breath. But when I opened them again, the letters on the top corner of each sheet were still there.Still terrible. Oh no. My mum was going to kill me.When the lunch bell rang, I shoved the papers into my bag without thinking. I stood up and walked to the door. Jaxon was standing where he always did, waiting, and the tension inside me eased a little.His eyes moved over my face and I gave him a small smile.“Hungry?” I asked.He nodded and reached for my hand. We walked quietly to our usual bench outside the cafeteria. I glanced at him. He had been in a quiet, distant mood all morning.I tried not to worry about it. I already knew what was on his mind, last night. And I was sure he would handle it. He had already blocked the number from my phone when he came to get me, and the way he held me while walking me to class told me everything I ne

Daisy's pov“What are you doing out here?” I quickly looked up. Sienna was standing over me, frowning. I closed the book I was reading. “It is free time, so I thought I would read,” I mumbled, lowering my gaze.“But outside? It is freezing,” she said. “Go back to the classroom, Daisy.”Honestly, I would rather freeze in the cold than sit inside and hear all the cruel things our classmates are saying.“Or go to the library, for heaven’s sake.”And feel everyone’s judgmental stares while I ruin their focus? No, thank you.“Are you even paying attention to me, Daisy?”I let out a sigh and looked up. “I am fine, Sienna.” But just then, a cold wind blew past us and made me shiver. She narrowed her eyes on me. “Really fine?”She rolled her eyes and pulled me to my feet. I tried to resist, but she tightened her grip, and I gave in. I let her guide me without protest because I was too tired, physically and emotionally. After everything I had heard that morning, pretending to be okay was ge
