All Chapters of Forbidden Love with my stepbrother : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elara's POVShock claimed me when Marcus stepped out from the shadows. And his sides were flanked by two big guys with their guns drawn, the barrels pointed at the both of us. The warehouse air felt thick with the dust and rust mixing with my fear. Lila stood beside him, smirking coldly and looking real satisfied with this. The stupid bitch!She planned it! Every single step! She had deceived Damien! Fuck!Damien was swift to push me behind him slightly, using his tense body a shield. My heart raced.The fresh ache between my legs from riding his cock in the car was pulsing now as adrenaline hit me. Just minutes ago, I had come hard around him, his cum still sticky on my thighs. But now, this trap was closing in on us.What had we fallen into?"Smart move, Lila," Marcus called out to her in a grave but excited voice. He was older with eyes that shone hard with greed, and an ugly looking scar ran across his neck, hinting at a rough life. "Delivered them right to me."Damien's hand fou

Elara's POVThe photo on my phone screen hit me like a punch—Mom tied to a chair, her eyes wide with fear. A duct tape was pressed tightly over her mouth. The room where she was held in looked like some dingy basement, with the shadows in the blurry picture about perfect with hiding the details. The text below: "Come alone, or she dies" nearly killed me there and then because there was no sender name, or even a phone number. It just said unknown. My hands shook as I showed it to Damien. Lila stood there in the motel room, watching us closely."Fuck," Damien muttered, grabbing the phone from my hands to look closely like we had both misread the text. We'll, we hadn't.His eyes were wide and filled with rage when he looked up at me. "Marcus's crew. It has to be them. Shit!"“What?” Lila asked.“Come see,” Damien said. Lila came up to us and leaned in to look at the tecxt. I had to move back because her floral perfume was too strong.She took a moment to read."She must have been tak

Elara's POV Lunchtime brought the usual herd of students, and Jake had now become a permanent lunchtime fixture in the seat that next to mine. He would slide into it anytime he was free and there wasn't any classes to chat with me like he always did.“Elara,” he whispered my name. As usual, he simply sat down, and like magic, his light smile and laugh which seemed to minimize my daily struggles graced his face. He already sensed my discomfort, and placed a folded note on my desk and slid it to me across the table.“Food for thought,” he said to me when I looked down at the paper. My brows raised. But I picked it up and opened it up to see. It contained a drawing of a history teacher I had never liked. And the giant scribble of him had ridiculous but funny enormous ears. A small laugh slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it. The drawing amused me greatly.“Befitting, right?” He asked.I just began to grin at the drawing and momentarily felt the weight on my chest release t

Damien's POVWhen I walked into the cold visitation room that morning, the place smelled like disinfectant and regret with my father, Victor sitting across from me and looking much smaller and even paler than I remembered. The billionaire shine on him had worn off as he was still wearing the clothes from that night of his arrest with his shirt collar hanging loose around his neck like the dark circles that were idly sitting underneath his eyes. "When will you be released?" I asked him the moment we were done with the exchange of nonsensical and much un-needed pleasantries. "Or it's not possible?"He leaned forward and gripped my hand across the table with a grip that was weak unlike his sharp eyes."The lawyer has given me an update on bail. He says that the bail he is aiming for will come through. Maybe in about a day, or maybe two," he told me. "You just need to hold everything together until I get out of here."I nodded slowly. "I know.""Keep the board calm, Damien. And make sur

Elara's POVToday, school dragged on like it always did now. Nothing felt real anymore.Every class that I had blurred together into each other while my mind simply just kept replaying Damien’s hands on me yesterday alongside his voice in my ear telling me who I belonged to. By lunchtime, I felt tired and empty.Jake found me sitting at our usual table outside. He dropped his food tray just across from me with that easy smile sitting on his face, and his hopeful eyes that always made me to feel lighter.“Hey, Elara. You disappeared after yesterday. Everything good?” he asked before sitting down.I looked at him and felt a small pull in my chest. Jake was simple. He was safe with no secrets and no danger unlike the stepbrother who had fucked me like he owned my soul. But Damien’s words rang loud in my head. His deep voice telling me that I was his and not Jake's. Never Jake's.I took a deep breath.“Jake, I need to say something,” I started and he looked at me.My heart began to thump
