All Chapters of MY FORBIDDEN MATE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Liora’s POVI leaned against my doorframe, arms crossed, staring at the old man like he’d just crawled out of a time machine. “Okay… you know my full name. Great trick. Now, who the hell are you, and why are you waiting in front of my house like some creep?”The man didn’t flinch. His voice was calm, polite, annoyingly steady. “Miss Liora, perhaps we should sit. This is… a rather long conversation.”I raised an eyebrow. “Oh, of course. I always invite strange men in suits into my apartment at night. Sounds safe.”He actually smiled, which made me more suspicious. Nevertheless, I unlocked my door since I had a gut feeling he wasn't coming to rob or kill me. "All right, but just so you know, I'm a very good fighter , and if you try anything funny, I won't think twice about breaking your nose." I kicked off my shoes, turned on the lights, and gestured toward my couch inside. "Take a seat. Avoid touching anything that is bright. Hold on, I don't have anything bright.”As he made himself c

Liora’s POVAs soon as I said, "You." Selene's eyes widened. "You...know him?" Selene continued to dart her eyes from me directly to Darius. A little chuckle left my lips, accompanied by a dismissive gesture, and sputtered, "I thought I was wrong, thinking I saw Mr. Darius Knight in person. The Darius Knight?” Within a second, Darius’s lips curved out in a smile. " In flesh and blood," he chuckled. The totally oblivious, Selene wore a wide smile: "Meet Darius, the man I'm going to marry!" Taking my hand, she gave it a squeeze, looking down at our held hands as she moved them hesitantly toward Darius. "This here is Darius. My sister, Liora." Something about the word 'sister' pierced through my heart, and I almost choked. Darius put his hand out for a handshake, but I didn’t notice till Selene gave me a gentle nudge. “Hello…I’m Liora,” I smiled sheepishly as I took his hand. The contact sent a jolt through me. "I'm thrilled Selene finally found you," Darius smiled br

Liora’s- Pov I keenly turned around with bright eyes. Did I think out loud? I felt a strong Hane firmly grip my wrist from where I crouched. I curiously turned around to see that it was nobody but Darius, the shining knight. I shrugged my shoulder in disgust, freeing myself from his grasp. “What? Do you want another one night stand? Maybe I should throw in a free lap dance this time. Wouldn’t that make you feel better or are you still in the mood for some bachelorhood fun?” I grunted while glaring him from head to toe. “Despicable man,” I muttered under my breathe and began to leave. “You will do no such thing, Liora,” he said with a bold tone. I halted my movement and turned around in anger. Did I hear him right? My guilt had turned into anger as soon as I set eyes on his face. I pierced a sharp glance at his grey colored eyes. “Selene doesn’t need to know, this should stay between us. As long we’re the only one who knows then there’s no problem,” he said with a frown

Liora’s povI jolted up from bed followed by a loud yawn. Moving my hands from right to left trying to open the door to my bathroom so I could take a shower and go to the strip club.With my eyes closed, my muscle memory was supposed to have detected that the door wasn’t here anymore. But since when do bathroom doors disappear from their original position or have they been removed because I didn’t fully last months rest. I finally opened my weary eyes. My vision was fixated on the wall before me. I wasn’t a morning person so I’m always like this every morning. Nevertheless, I have to prepare and go get today’s pay. If I’m correct, today’s Monday and the end of the month. Joe must’ve gotten his salary and is on his way to the club. I have to quickly get ready so I’d be the one to catch his eyes. I turned around and was about to scream when I realized this wasn’t my house. It all came to me suddenly. I had agreed to stay in Selene’s mansion for the meantime. No wonder I didn’t wake

Liora’s pov“About?” I asked with a curious expression.“You see… my mother has been released but she’s currently staying at one of our houses in Canada. Once the media calms down, she’ll return buts that’s not really the problem right now. My mum has seen the recent article about you, the missing daughter of the Blackwood’s was a stripper,” Selene lets out a deep sigh and continues. “And frankly, she’s not happy about it. She’s been calling and texting me nonstop.”“Maybe I don’t belong here after all,” I let out a nervous laugh. “Once I’m gone she wouldn’t need to worry about me ruining the family’s name anymore.”Selene grabbed me by my wrist as I was about to leave. “What are you saying, Liora? You’re as important to this family as I am. I love you and she’ll also learn to love you. She might speak like this because she hasn’t met you. You’re a sweet person that wouldn’t even harm a fly.”You’re speaking so highly of me because you haven’t the slightest idea what I’ve done behind
