All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

AutumnI had thought that I was going to pee in my pants. As a matter of fact, I thought I had already been hit by the bullet and had died, especially when I didn’t hear any other sound, and the entire time, it was Dante’s cousin who was just trying to play some pranks.Dante lurched at him, and because of the force he used, I almost fell to the ground, but I staggered a little and held my feet to the ground.And I had to also remember that we were standing on a cliff, and if I staggered back too much, I would fall, and that might just be my end.I didn’t bother trying to separate the both of them, but I couldn’t stand Dante punching him to death. I couldn’t even stand everything that had just happened, so I turned around and began to walk away, watching my steps carefully and trying to remember the exact way we climbed up here.But I didn’t go far.I felt Dante’s hand on me, and I quickly snatched his hand away from and continued the path downwards.“Stop walking, Autumn,” he command

Autumn“Not happening,” I said and refused to take Dante’s hand.“Don’t be a spoilsport, Autumn,” Dante said lightly. “You have to admit that I didn’t take long, and I wouldn’t have had to leave you here if I had had everything fixed already, and I didn’t because this wasn’t exactly planned,” he added by explaining.“I could have gone with you. it’s a simple as that,” I retorted.“It would ruin the surprise,” Dante said.“Like it hasn’t been ruined already,” I retorted again.“Come on, Autumn, please,” Dante pleaded.“Okay, but I am not taking your hand,” I told him.“Fine, as long as you come along,” he said.Dante began to lead the way and I followed.“Where are we going?” I asked. “I hope this isn’t another clip,” I said when I felt like we were ascending as we walked.“Stop talking and just feel everything around you, Autumn,” Dante said.That statement alone, although I didn’t like it, not only made me keep shut, but also made me realize where we were walking through.This was a

AutumnI woke up when I felt the sun light up my face, and that was when I remembered where I was and how everything had ended.It was freaking morning!“Fuck!” I exclaimed as I tried to scramble to my feet, but my head hit the roof of the tent because it wasn’t really tall. “Ouch!” In expressed painfully.I rubbed my head, trying to reduce the pain, and thankfully, it wasn’t something very intense, so it didn’t hurt that much.“I can’t believe I slept out here on the cliff and in the bushes,” I said to myself as I checked the time on my phone.8:45 am.“Shit!” I would not be able to book a flight back by this time. I knew this because of what I encountered coming here. If at all I wanted to, I would have to wait until evening or the next day, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to, and that was majorly because of the confusion between Dante and I. I just couldn’t define it, and it was frustrating.My phone rang and when I checked the caller ID and saw that it was an unsaved number, I knew t

AutumnI pulled my mum until we were inside my bedroom, or the room I had been given since I got here.It was funny how I had grown accustomed to it in just a few weeks, even though I already knew that I didn’t belong here.“Take it easy, Autumn, you are going to make me fall,” she said, but I didn’t listen to her.I didn’t let go of her until we got into the bedroom and I locked the door. I was briefly reminded in my head that I had actually caught Dante trying to eavesdrop on my conversation, but I pushed it out of my head.He was still speaking with his father by the time I took my mum out of the living room.“What is it?” My mum asked. “Why aren’t you happy to see me?” She asked further.“Happy?” I asked.The word sounded like a foreign word to me, but of course, she wasn’t feeling that way because she was head over heels in love and happy as fuck. When was the freaking last time I felt any iota of happiness in my bones? And yet, she had the nerve to ask me about that.“Yes, happy

DanteI wanted to get some rest, or actually, space to just breathe and maybe think about all that happened between Autumn and I, but with my dad’s presence, I doubt I would be able to have that.“Come and join us, Dante,” my dad insisted.He was smoking with granduncle Gonzalez.“I thought you stopped smoking,” I said. “Isn’t your lungs too old for this, or the love of your life couldn’t even help you quit?” I sneered.My dad and Gonzalez laughed, and I wondered what was funny.“A man dies the day he quits smoking,” Gonzalez said.“Says a man in his old age whom I have never caught smoking,” I stated.“That’s because I have other vices that keep me entertained,” he teased, and they laughed again.Were these men taking me for granted? I turned to leave, but I didn’t even go far.“Dante,” granduncle Gonzalez called.I ground my teeth in exasperation and turned. “What?” I asked in a stiff tone.I wanted them to see that I wasn’t interested and just let me be.“Come and have a seat,” he
