Все главы Forbidden, Still Fallen: Глава 1 - Глава 7

I should have been calm and unaffected. But Simon’s expression grew increasingly mocking as he flipped through the love letters. He even read some of them aloud, and it utterly humiliated me.I bit my bottom lip hard and stared at his hand. “Put them down.”Simon did not put the letters down. Instead, he seemed amused by my uncharacteristic display of defiance, and this piqued some sort of twisted interest in him.He sneered before slamming the love letters down.The letters scattered everywhere. Every page was filled with his name and my burning but humble love for him.I froze as he reached out and roughly messed up my hair. “I know you’ve had a crush on me for a long time! Everyone else knows. But who would fall for their stepsister? Your love is worthless and suffocating. It disgusts me!“The smartest thing you ever did was not throw yourself at me to get rid of that poison from me. I can’t imagine having to marry you! Thank God, you weren’t that stupid!“I didn’t accept you

Simon quickly dialed Irina’s phone number, but no one answered the call.“What is it?” Camillia walked out of their room. When she noticed his dark expression, she gently took his hand. “Who upset you?”“Irina’s gone to Mucannaiss,” he said coldly.Camillia blinked but chuckled at the next moment. “She loves you too much to attend our wedding.

She was still a frail young girl nestled in his arms, and she looked at him with eyes full of trust and vulnerability.Simon recalled her indifferent look before she left. He felt as if so

I froze the moment I heard Simon sobbing. But I returned to my senses a second later and struggled even harder. “Let me go!”“Hey, let her go!” A senior from the same laboratory saw us and immediately came over to stop him.Simon looked up, and his expression instantly darkened. “Get lost!”He did not release me. Instead, he held me even tighter and squeezed my ribs until they hurt.My senior moved closer, and I noticed Simon reaching for a gun at his waist!“Don’t come any closer! I’m fine.” I shouted at my senior. At the same time, I pulled Simon to a quieter side path. “Come with me!”He allowed me to drag him over. He followed me like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline.Once I was certain no one else was around, I yanked my hand free. I took two steps back to keep my distance from him and gave him an irritable look. “What do you want?”He tried to hug me again, but I immediately raised my hands. “Speak properly. Don’t touch me.”Simon froze, and his usual aloofness inst
