All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Autumn“You really want to work?” Camille asked me, sounding surprised.“Why do you sound so surprised?” I asked her.“Because you don’t look like someone who works, or would want to work,” she answered.I scoffed.I would have laughed if this was really funny. If only Camille knew how hard I had had to work, especially after my parent’s separation, she wouldn’t even think of me like that. Granted, my parents weren’t exactly poor and wretched, but being that there wasn’t really a home for me to get back to anymore, working was the only way to keep my mind grounded and focused.When Susan would travel home for the holidays to be with her parents who still in love with each other and very well together, I would take on more jobs. It wasn’t because I really needed the money. My dad still sent me allowances, and my mum also fulfilled her responsibility. Neither of them ever failed in parental duties, and sometimes, I often had more than I needed, but that wasn’t enough to make me happy.

AutumnI didn’t even think much about what Maria said about Camille. I was too excited about what just happened for me to be worried about what she said. It was obvious that they weren’t in good terms, because from all indications, Camille didn’t like Maria either.She hadn’t even been coming to the house much since Maria’s arrival.Before Maria came, Camille was almost always here, and maybe that was why I didn’t think that she worked.Anyway, I could barely wait until morning.I got to my room and allowed myself to get enough rest, however, I didn’t get that as I heard a harsh knock on the door.“Who is it?” I asked, wondering who could be knocking like that.“It’s Dante, open up,” he commanded authoritatively.“No, I won’t be doing that,” I stated firmly and remained on the bed.His audacity was really infuriating.After all he had done, did he think he could always get what he wanted? I wasn’t going to let that happen. He had had enough of controlling things, especially when they

AutumnIf it wasn’t for Abel’s threat, I would not have walked into this café to see him and speak to him because I never wanted anything to do with him in the first place.But I had to.Thankfully, Dante had rushed out of the house this early, which had even been of great advantage to me. By the time he was leaving, I had already gotten dressed with the intention that I would get to see Abel in time, and then go off to my new job when it was time.And everything seemed to have worked out perfectly fine for me.“Why do you want to see me?” I asked Abel the moment I slipped into the chair in front of him.It was a good thing also that the café was scanty this early. I had been worried that I would be seen by an acquaintance of Dante, and he would be told. Not that I was worried or scared of Dante knowing that I was at a café, but if Abel had been another man, I really wouldn’t have minded it.“No pleasantries?” Abel asked with a smirk on his face.“I don’t have time for this, Abel, and

AutumnThe embarrassment I was feeling was nothing compared to the anger I felt. The moment Abel heard Dante’s name, he began to act really stupid, and it was embarrassing.“You didn’t tell me that you have been living with Dante De Luca,” Abel had the nerve to say.He was still casting glances at Dante’s table, getting me more upset in the process.“I am not having this conversation, Abel,” I said. “And if this is the reason why you called me here, then there is nothing to talk about. I have told you times without number that nothing is ever going to happen between us again,” I added extensively, but I had a sickening feeling that Abel would not adhere to that.If he was going to adhere, he would have done that from the very first time I broke up with him, or even when he came back begging. He didn’t fly all the way here just to back off simply because I said so.“Then, the whole world is going to know about what you did,” Abel threatened darkly. “And trust me, not even Dante De Luca

DanteI had to painfully take my attention away from Autumn and her boyfriend so that I could speak to Sanchez even though he had had to leave nearly after that.“I have to go, Dante; work calls, but we will meet again to have this discussion,” he had said.And then I had to leave because I also had to attend to something really important. However, I texted Dominic to pick up Autumn from that café as soon as possible.The moment I was done sorting out what I needed to get done at work, I called Dominic.“Have you picked her up?” I asked the moment the call was connected.“She isn’t at the café, Dante,” Dominic said.“How do you mean?” I asked, my veins becoming tight already.“When I got here, she wasn’t here,” Dominic said.“Are you sure?” I asked him.“I am very sure,” he said.“And what about the young man she was with?” I asked, trying not to sound as frantic as I was beginning to feel.So many things were running through my head already.This reminded me about when we went to wat
