All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

DanteMy heart began to race faster.Again, Autumn could be in danger.She hadn’t really gone out much since she got here, and she didn’t know many places, so where else could she have gone to? There was nowhere else I could think of, and considering the fact that she had once almost been kidnapped, this could likely be the case.What if Sanchez meeting was all a scheme to get Autumn easily?But then again, Sanchez didn’t know that Autumn would be there, and when I singlehandedly picked out that café, I didn’t know that Autumn would be there either, and I got there before Autumn, so it couldn’t be Sanchez.“We need to look for her,” I said to Dominic with urgency.Then I proceeded to leave, but Abel’s words stopped me.“Are you just leaving? Is she the only reason you are here?” He asked.I stopped and turned to look at him.“Why else should I be here?” I asked him in return.Abel stuttered, trying to answer the question, but he couldn’t. I turned to leave again, but his words just se

AutumnI ignored Dante’s comment and began to walk towards the stairs, and he got up immediately.“I am talking to you, Autumn,” Dante said angrily. “Where are you coming from?” He asked authoritatively.I ground my teeth in annoyance because if I wasn’t forced to be in his house, he wouldn’t have the guts to speak to me in this manner. Right after I left home and got an apartment for myself with Susan, no one could control my decisions and choices, not even Abel. I could go out and come in whenever I wanted, and I never had to face the kind of disrespect I was facing right now from Dante.“Dante!” Maria called, surprised at his tone and action. “Why are you speaking to her like that when she is not a child?” She asked worriedly, and also confused.“Stay out of this, Maria,” Dante said.“You should listen to your fiancée,” I told Dante, almost sneering at him.We glared at each other with blazing anger in our eyes, and neither of us backed down. I was sick and tired of being bullied a

DanteWhen I saw Maria’s call, I grumbled with annoyance. I really didn’t want to pick up her call because it would distract me from exactly what I wanted to do.Last night, right after Maria had gone to bed, I had questioned my housekeeper.“When did Autumn leave this house in the morning?” I had asked her.“Um, as early as 7:00a.m, sir,” she responded.That was really early, but then again, she had left to see that swine, and I had a feeling that she intentionally did that just to leave before I was up. However, this morning, I didn’t want to be outsmarted, so I woke up really early and got dressed.And I waited in the living room even before seven.“Has she come downstairs today?” I had asked my housekeeper when I came downstairs.“No, sir, she hasn’t,” she answered.“Are you sure?” I asked her.“One hundred percent, sir. I have been up and about since four this morning, and no one has come downstairs,” she answered.That was all the answers I needed. However, it was getting to ni

DanteBy the time I got to my office, I was already fuming.“She thinks she can play smart on me,” I grumbled in annoyance.I was both upset with Autumn for whatever stunt she felt she might be pulling, and also worried at the same time. Clearly, she still hadn’t realized the amount of danger that she might be in. Don Silvanos was still very much interested in having her, and he would definitely be out there, looking for her.“What in hell’s name is wrong with her?” I asked myself again, more angrily this time around.Couldn’t she see that I was trying everything possible to ensure that she was protected?A knock on my door distracted me, and my head of management walked in.“Good morning, Mr. Dante,” she greeted, taking her seat. “I wanted to inform you that everything is set, and the event will kick off any moment from now,” she informed me.I nodded, impressed.This was one of the perks of hiring competent staff members because even in your absence, they could get the job done with

“Autumn, can I see you see you for a second?” Mason asked.“Me?” I asked, confused and wondering why Mason wanted to see me all of a sudden.We were being briefed for the last time before the event would officially begin. Some of the guests had already begun to arrive and Mason’s best servers had already started attending to them. For the rest of us, Mason felt it best to have his head employee take us through the rules again.That was his policy so that nothing would go wrong.“Yes, you, Autumn,” he responded.I became worried because the event would begin in a few minutes and I shouldn’t be asked to step out of what was being said. I became worried because I feared that Mason might have heard something about me, being that we were in Dante’s company.Anyway, I followed Mason to a corner of the room.“Is there a problem?” I asked with a racing heartbeat although my voice sounded as normal as it could be.“I was told that you haven’t been concentrating since the last round of training
