All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

AutumnUlcer’s words sent chills down my spine, but somehow, I managed to put on a smile.I thought that I would be comfortable in his presence, but I realized that I wasn’t, but at the same time, I didn’t want him to know about my discomfort. There was no reason for me to be uncomfortable. So far, Ulcer had been nothing but supportive.“We have little or no time before the funeral begins,” I reminded Ulcer, trying to sound as neutral as possible.“Yes, I know that quite alright,” Ulcer said. “Do you want to see your dad’s bedroom?” He asked me.Again, a wave of discomfort washed over me, which wasn’t what I had expected I would feel.“Not now,” I responded. “Maybe after the funeral,” I added.“Why not?” Ulcer asked, sounding a little disappointed.“It’s almost time for the funeral, Ulcer, and I need to get some flowers and…” I started, but Ulcer rarely let me get to the end of my sentence.“You should see his bedroom,” Ulcer stated, a little firmer than he had been sounding. “Come wi

AutumnThere weren’t any cars available when we left the cottage, but after a few minutes’ walk, one pulled over and Ulcer urged me into the car, but I was confused as to why he was carrying the safe box.“Do we need this?” I asked him calmly. “It’s a funeral,” I reminded him.“Yes, we do,” he responded.That was over an hour, and we were still in the car. The trip was getting way too long for my comfort, and because I wasn’t familiar with the place, I couldn’t tell how much farther we had to go.“How many more minutes do we have?” I asked the driver, but he stayed quiet and continued driving.Then I brought out my phone to check out the distance from our current location to where Ulcer had said the funeral was supposed to be holding.“What are you doing?” Ulcer asked.“I am trying to confirm how much longer we would still have to be on the road for,” I answered. “The funeral should have started by now, and it doesn’t make sense that I will be late to my dad’s funeral, and I don’t eve

AutumnSeeing Ulcer with a gun, there was no way I could put up any resistance.“Please, don’t hurt me,” I pleaded with him.“If you will just be an obedient woman, we wouldn’t have to go violent,” he said icily.He had completely changed from the man I had known him to be, or thought he was. Now, he was a dangerous stranger with a safe box filled with money on one hand and a gun on the other, and worse, we were in a place I had no idea about.“Let’s go inside,” Ulcer said firmly.He didn’t raise his voice, but there was a deep tone of warning, and I knew better than to counter him or try to resist.I thought of turning on the location in my cell phone; that was one of the things I learnt from crime movies and documentaries, as it would help anyone to find you easily, but then again, I also remembered that I didn’t have any internet connection whatsoever, and it was the exact reason Ulcer didn’t even make an attempt to retrieve my phone.He knew that I wouldn’t be able to reach anyone

DanteTrying to calm Susan down was a futile attempt, and I also had to allow her continue in her trembling state because I had to think of a way to figure out the situation.“How are you so sure that Autumn is missing?” One of the cops had asked after I made the declaration.I had glared at him and hissed angrily.“If you knew your job, we wouldn’t be here,” I had responded with annoyance. “Do you still even have Taylor’s phone which you took as evidence?” I had asked.“Autumn wanted it, and we gave it back,” the other one had responded.I was a step away from punching them on their faces for not knowing how to go about their jobs.“What kind of cops are you and how the fuck do you operate around here?” I had muttered with rage.“What should we do?” They had asked.I glared at them again, barely able to control my anger. They didn’t know how to do their jobs, and it would be worse to depend on them. I realized that I would have to handle this on my own.“Susan, let’s get out of here,

Dante“Can you tell us more about this man?” I asked him carefully.He looked at me with a surprised expression on his face.“We just want to know a friend’s of Taylor,” I hastily added, but still, he seemed skeptical.“We don’t talk about Monaco around here,” he said.It dawned on me that I was going to have a hard time convincing him to talk, especially as he seemed a little bit horrified. “I am not asking you to snitch or anything…” I started, trying so hard to get through to him without sounding desperate, but Susan interjected.“Autumn is a very close friend of ours, and we are here to honor her dad’s last memories with her, but she obviously isn’t here, and we would like to know where to look so that we don’t return without letting her know that we came here,” she said.I was worried that being blunt about it may actually prevent him from talking, which was exactly why I told her to keep shut while I handled things, but it was obvious that she was just as stubborn as Autumn.“W
