บททั้งหมดของ Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

DanteThe moment I parked the car and saw that Autumn had gotten out without even saying a word, I decided to go to David.It was even a good thing because she just made things easier. I was really worried about her, especially because I wasn’t used to this silence of hers, but right now, I needed to handle things personally. “Aren’t you coming in?” Maria had asked me.“No, I am not,” I had told her firmly. “I will see you soon,” I had added and walked away.Barely halfway to David’s house, I heard someone jogging towards me. I turned and saw that it was Dominic.“What is it?” I asked him stiffly.“Is everything okay?” He asked me.“Why shouldn’t it be?” I asked him in return.“I haven’t seen or heard from you since,” Dominic said.“I have been preoccupied,” I answered.I didn’t stop walking, and Dominic didn’t need to hurry up to keep up because he had strides of his own.“I can see that,” he said.And from the sound of his voice, I could tell that he saw me dropping off Autumn and

AutumnI tried to tell my mum that there was no way we should be letting Abel come into this house, but she wouldn’t even spare me a second.She was so busy with planning a freaking dinner that I almost yelled at her.“You should be busy getting set for his arrival, honey. I know you came with something nice, so go into your room and put that on. Make sure you wear some makeup and style your hair…you know what your boyfriend likes. If you are lucky, he is going to propose to you. I am sure he didn’t travel all the way down here just to see your face alone. Men can be a little over the moon too,” she had rambled nonstop when I had tried to talk to her.If I hadn’t walked away after realizing that she couldn’t be reasoned with, she would have gone from talking about Abel to how she met Dante’s father, fell in love, and got proposed to in a couple of weeks. I went into my room and tried to reach Abel, but it kept going to voicemail.“He has deliberately made himself unreachable,” I mutt

AutumnI swallowed hard and almost rolled my eyes. This wasn’t what I meant, but just as I couldn’t blame Susan for giving Abel contact details about me, I also couldn’t blame my mum because she was simply acting on ignorance.“Well, it’s safe to say that dinner is ready!” My mum announced loudly and happily.Just as it was done for Dante and Maria, two chairs were kept apart for Abel and I. I really would have gladly sat close to Maria right now.Abel pulled out the chair for me, and I wanted to cuss him out. My mum and Maria gushed with feminine excitement while Mateo watched with happiness in his eyes.“I wish Dante was half as sweet as this,” Maria wished out loud.Oh, if only I could tell her to be careful what she wished for. Dante wasn’t any better, considering what he had done recently, but I kept mute. Dante wasn’t here, and a part of me was relieved that he wasn’t, but for how much longer? This was his house, and he could very well walk in at any moment.Where was he by the

DanteI returned home when it was dark, but I didn’t get in immediately, and that was because I needed to make an important call.“I don’t think that is a good idea,” Dominic had tried to dissuade me earlier.We had spent ample time arguing back and forth about it, but I hadn’t budged. No one understood what I was feeling, so I didn’t expect them to go along with my decisions, and I was more than happy to handle it alone.“What then is a good idea?” I had asked, snapping at him. “Sending her back?” I had asked sarcastically.“That is the best option at this point and you know it, Dante,” Dominic had insisted again even though he knew that I was infuriated by it. “She is not a part of us. She doesn’t live here. She doesn’t know how things work around here, and she would definitely get back to her life,” he had continued.That part had dug a well in my heart.Yes, I knew that Autumn would have to return to the life she had always known and was accustomed to. As a matter of fact, she had

DanteAfter what Maria told me, I just couldn’t hold it in any longer.“She has no right,” I had fumed.Maria had tried to have a conversation with me, but I wasn’t having it, so much so that I left her and hurried upstairs to Autumn’s room to confront her.How dare she?I couldn’t even contain my rage.She brought her “charming boyfriend” to my house to have dinner while I was out there trying to keep her safe? My anger knew no bound.When I got close to Autumn’s room, a tiny voice in my head tried to tell me that I wasn’t angry that she had brought her boyfriend here…rather, I was stark jealous.It was bad enough to know that Autumn had a boyfriend, but being here in my house just threw me off the roof and I wasn’t having it, and the only thing I wanted to do right now was to confront her about it right away.“Excuse me?” Autumn asked me.“Don’t play dumb with me, Autumn,” I said and entered into the room, brushing past her.“You can’t just come in without being asked to,” Autumn sa
