All Chapters of Obsessed With My Mother’s Husband ( The Forbidden Romance ): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alex’s PovTonight, I was the one driving us home because I wanted to spend more time with her.I had told Kelly he could take the day off tonight, and he did.She was looking out the window the entire time, while I couldn’t keep my eyes on the road. Not when she was just beside me.When we got into traffic, I broke the thick silence between us. “Zina.” She didn’t turn, but I continued.“I know what you want from me.” She turned to look at me. I didn't even know that she was still crying, and her eyes were now reddish. Seeing her like that almost made me let my guard down, but I quickly looked away as soon as our eyes met.“But you should also know,” I continued, keeping my voice moderate, “that I cannot give it to you.”“Why?” she asked.“Because I am your father,” I responded, making sure my eyes were on the road.“Alex, but I’ve told you many times already, you are not my father, and you are not my blood, fathers don’t look at their daughter the way you do.” The way she said it m

Zina’s PovI calmed myself and gently placed the glass on the table with utmost care.Elena and Viktor had noticed.I noticed Viktor tightened his fist and looked away without saying a word to me.While Elena gently touched me with worries in her eyes, “Zina, are you okay? Do you it know him?” “It's Fine.” My voice came out steady, which surprised me. “He’s just an old acquaintance, but I'm fine.” I smile at her. When Elena finally turned away from me, I straightened on my chair and folded my hands between my legs to stop them from trembling.Finally, when the formal part of the evening, which was the introduction, ended. The atmosphere was leas tense. The soft music, which had barely been audible during the introductions, was now loud. Not too loud, but enough to make people move their bodies slightly. Different people started conversing with each other. Both old staffs and New staffs started getting along.I stayed where I was, pressing my phone like I wasn’t part of the crowd.

It had been a few weeks since the company dinner. Maybe six weeks? And the house eventually became a place where we coexisted.Though we all lived together, we barely saw each other.My mom was either performing late surgeries at the hospital or fast asleep in her room. While Alex started leaving for work earlier than usual, he leaves the office early but always gets home late, and sometimes he doesn’t even come home.I did the same, just that I didn’t sleep out.Though sometimes we passed each other in the kitchen, there was no crossing of boundaries.Since that night, the only words we said to each other were either good morning or something not worth remembering.I don’t know if he liked it, but I was aching for him so much that most of the night I ended up soaking my pants and rubbing my fingers around my clit. Never really tried pushing them in cause I wanted him to be the first to give me those feelings.I still had hope that one day I would have him between my legs and he wou

When the screen behind Kelly lit up, the room went quiet. Not the polite kind of quiet where people wait patiently, but the focused kind where people who had come in with low expectations were now sitting up straighter without realizing it. Kelly stood at the front of the hall with that composed authority he carried everywhere, a small presenter remote in one hand, as he began talking about the upgraded product with so much confidence, as someone who knows its worth. The display was clean, with clean sleek lines, a redesigned casing that looked nothing like the original prototype, and an interface that responded faster than anything the previous version had ever done. As Kelly moved through each feature, I watched the people in the hall one by one. The AI response feature system had been rebuilt and the voice recognition calibrated the individual speech patterns within three interactions. We added a security encryption layer that made the previous version look like a locked di

CHAPTER 29 — “The Office” Zina’s POV Nobody said a word on our to his office. The silence was deafening, like we were all holding our breath. Meanwhile Kelly just moved effortlessly ahead of us, he had a cool expression on his face like he already knew what awaited us in that office. We were all dying to know why he wanted us in his office i was sure because the three of us kept throwing worrying glances at each other.Viktor couldn’t hold it in anymore though. He jogged a bit to catch up as we rounded a corner from the main hallway. “Kelly,” he said, keeping his tone all casual-like, but we could hear the edge it carried. Kelly didn’t break his steps at all, Not even a bit, but he responded without sparring him a glance. “You’ll find out when you get there, Mr. Bryce,” his response was smooth and final. Viktor fell back next to me, shooting Elena this quick look that said a whole novel: What the heck is this? You got any guesses? Should we bolt? Elena fired back her own glance—
