Forbidden Desire의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Kyle’s POVShe walked out of my office and I leaned back in my seat, staring at my hardened crotch. She stirred something in me I could not control. One look at her and my body reacted like I had no discipline at all.I swallowed and closed my eyes briefly, her face still burned into my mind. The way she flinched when I touched her lingered.What if she was…No. That made no sense. I pushed myself to my feet. She had a boyfriend. They must have done things.She probably reacted because it had been a while. That had to be it.But who exactly was this idiot she was dating?When I left her unsatisfied, did she go running back to him?The thought alone sent a sharp wave of anger through me.Her boyfriend had to be in London. There was no way he was here. That was the only logical conclusion.Jenkins walked in.“Raise the blinds,” I ordered.He did as told while I settled back into my chair.He started briefing me on the report, but his words barely registered. This was unlike me. I never

Aisha’s POVThe words lingered in the air long after he said them.Tonight, I want to ruin you.I didn’t respond immediately. A sweet sensation sank down my stomach.My fingers tightened slightly around my purse as I held his gaze. The darkness in his eyes didn’t feel playful anymore. It felt focused and intentional.I should have looked away.I didn’t.Instead, I tilted my head slightly.“Then try,” I said softly.For a second, nothing changed. Then something in his expression shifted. Not softness. Not hesitation.Almost surprise, like he hadn’t expected me to challenge him back.The car slowed to a stop and the ocean breeze drifted through the air.Theo opened the car door for us, and Kyle stepped out first, before offering me his hand.“Smile. Some desperate paparazzi might be watching,” he murmured.I rolled my eyes at him but smiled anyway.He led me towards a luxurious yacht marked with the Apex Holdings logo.Two servers stood nearby while a beautifully prepared seafood dinner

Aisha’s POVI walked into the hospital, greeted the nurses, and they allowed me to see Cara. I entered her room quietly and sat beside her bed, gently holding her hand as I stroked it softly.“I believe you’ll come out of this, Cara. I just pray it’s soon.”I smiled at her weakly. “How are you doing?” I let out a nervous chuckle. “That was a stupid question. Are the doctors treating you well?”The only response was the steady beeping of the machines around her.“I’m sure they are,” I continued softly. “Do you remember when we used to play hide and seek? I would hide, and you’d always find me because you knew exactly where I liked to go.”A sad smile crossed my face.“I miss those days, Cara. The park visits. Family picnics. Beach vacations. They were some of my happiest memories.”I squeezed her hand gently. “Wake up soon so we can make more memories together. Another family trip too. One funded by our families, of course.”A soft laugh escaped me before fading into silence.“I really

Kyle’s POVI stared at the picture on Ethan’s phone. How the hell did he get it?My mind immediately flashed back to last night at Yvonne’s house.“Come in,” she had said.“Say whatever you have to say out here,” I replied, leaning against my car.“You’re seriously making Aisha your girlfriend?” she demanded.“The media doesn’t lie.”“Kyle, I thought you were doing all that just to spite me.” “You’re not worth the trouble.”“Kyle, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I cheated. But you were drowning in grief and barely paying attention to me.”“Is that why you called me here?”“Kyle, please.”“I’m not revisiting the past with you. I’ve been done with this for years.”“You can’t say that. Earlier this year, you were still in my bed before Aisha came back.”I turned to leave.“Fine,” she called after me. “If this is really goodbye, can I at least get one last kiss?”I looked at her in disgust. She had completely lost her mind.Before I could react, she grabbed my face and pressed her lips against mine

Aisha’s POVKyle pulled up in front of the building where the charity gala was taking place.He got out first, then walked around to my side and opened the door for me.“Thank you,” I whispered with a smile as I stepped out.A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips and he extended his arm toward me. I slipped my hand through his.Cameras flashed wildly around us the moment we stepped onto the red carpet.“Aisha Manchester!”“Over here!”“Give us a smile!”“You’re gorgeous!”“We love your dress!”“Kyle Leicester!”Our names echoed from every direction as paparazzi called for our attention.I smiled through it all, though I still wasn’t used to this kind of spotlight. Ever since I was a teenager, I had preferred staying unnoticed.Kyle, on the other hand, handled it effortlessly.Perfect posture. Calm expression. Controlled confidence.He looked devastatingly good.His black suit fit him flawlessly, his long hair braided neatly to the nape of his neck. The tattoo along his neck ad
