All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Aisha’s POVI didn’t mean to overhear them.If the elevator had been slower…If I had knocked first…Maybe I wouldn’t have heard Aaliyah laughing.The sound stopped me in the hallway outside Brandon’s apartment.For a moment, I told myself I was imagining it. Aaliyah was my colleague at the firm. She was a good friend. She had been over for dinners before. Brandon knew her.Still, something twisted uncomfortably in my stomach.I stepped closer to the half-closed door.And then I heard Brandon’s voice.Low. Intimate.Too familiar.“You worry too much,” he said. “She’s flying home next week for her brother’s wedding anyway.”My heart skipped.Aaliyah laughed softly. “You’re terrible.”My fingers tightened around the strap of my purse.I should have walked away.Instead, I pushed the door open.The scene inside froze me in place.Brandon sat on the couch. Aaliyah straddled his lap, her hands tangled in his hair while his rested comfortably beneath her.Neither of them noticed me at firs

Aisha’s POVSunlight stabbed my eyes, and my head throbbed.“Damnit, Isha. No more alcohol,” I groaned.I scrambled for my phone. Gone. Where the hell did I put it?The door burst open. Fiona grinned. “Morning, girl.”“Fi… do you know what happened last night?

She’d never liked him.“Okay, tell me everything,” she pressed.I threw my phone aside. “Fi… he cheated on me.”Her eyes widened. “With…?”“Aaliyah. My colleague. He’s been seeing her behind my back.”Fiona pressed

Kyle’s POVI narrowed my eyes at Yvonne standing in my office. How many times had I warned her never to come here? It had been over a year since the breakup, and she still refused to let go.“What the fuck are you doing here?” she lashed out at Aisha.“I should be asking you that question,” I fired back.She stared angrily at me, then at Aisha. “You’ve been chasing him since you were a teenager. You didn’t have him then, and you won’t have him now.”Aisha was too flabbergasted to speak.“FYI, we are engaged and getting married soon. You better stay away from my fiancé,” she said, pointing at Aisha.It was my turn to be stunned into silence.She turned to me. “You better kill whatever you have going on with her before you come home to me.”With that, she walked out of the office, slamming the door shut.Aisha stood up and readjusted her blouse. “I should go.”“You resume first thing tomorrow morning,” I said as I walked toward my seat. “Serena will send in your appointment letter and f
