All Chapters of FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION : Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

AUTHOR'S POV (A WEEK LATER) The bathroom was filled with a cloud of warm steam, carrying the sweet scent of Lena’s shampoo as she stepped out. Tiny droplets of water still clung to her skin, glistening under the soft bedroom lights as she wrapped a towel securely around herself. A flutter of excitement stirred in her chest. Today wasn't just about her parents' wedding. It was also about finally seeing more of their family and friends—people she had heard so much about but hadn't had the chance to meet properly. She would be introduced to them today, and the thought made her both nervous and excited. She smiled to herself. "Today is the day." Tarzan was already dressed, looking effortlessly handsome in his formal attire. He stood near the bed, making sure everything Lena had chosen for the occasion was in order. From the bathroom doorway, Lena watched him for a moment, a soft smile playing on her lips. He looked up. The moment their eyes met, something changed in his express

LENA'S POVI winced as I slid into the empty seat beside Christy, my stomach still doing uncomfortable flips."I had diarrhea... it's... It's a long story. Just forget it," I whispered, feeling heat creep up my neck.Christy narrowed her eyes, giving me that signature suspicious look of hers, but thankfully, she didn't press. Instead, she leaned closer, her voice dropping."Your friends from Paris arrived a few minutes ago."My heart did a little leap. "My friends?"She nodded toward the opposite side of the garden, and I followed her gaze—and immediately spotted Nora, Hannah, and Jessie huddled together. They looked so out of place among the older relatives surrounding them, but the moment they caught me looking, their faces broke into wide grins and they waved.A proud smile tugged at my lips. They'd really taken my advice on dressing to impress—and they'd done it without accepting a single cent from me. That made it even better.I smiled back and gave a discreet little wave befor

My phone vibrated deep inside my clutch. I blinked, pulling myself out of the daze of my own thoughts.I took my phone out and the name on the screen made my heart skip. A happy smile spread across my face so wide my cheeks ached.“Lena? Why are you smiling now?” Christy asked, nudging my elbow.I held up the phone.“It’s my friend Julia. She’s at the gate. Can you help me get my other friends settled inside the mansion? I need to go get her.”Christy’s eyebrow shot up.“But she’s the same one who threw you out of her house. You could just ask Scar to do that, you know. You don’t deserve that kind of treatment. Just saying—you didn’t even give your other friends this kind of service.”“That’s because I was in the bathroom when they arrived. And Scar is busy with his team. I don’t want her arriving like some random guest. She’s still my friend, Christy. Please keep the others comfortable. I’ll be back soon.”Before she could protest again, I hitched up the hem of my gown and hurried

"When I was acting like a friend, at least before I treated you like you were nothing to me."She added the words with a glance in my direction, her eyes glistening."Julia… let's not."She cut me off before I could finish."I'm so proud of you, Lena. You've grown so much in just one year. You're not the same woman I used to share the bakery with. That Lena—the one with such a pitiful presence, always looking like her sole purpose was just to survive the next day. Look at you now. So confident. So happy. You're shining, and so, so beautiful. You're still that kind-hearted woman, but you're brighter than ever. I was such a fool to let—""Let's not do that, Julia," I said softly. "Let's not bring the past up again."She smiled back, though it didn't quite reach her eyes."I'm sorry. I just don't think I deserve all this love and support you're giving me—after everything I did.""It's okay, really. Come on. Let's go inside, and no more talking.""Noted."She laughed, and the tension betw

"Julia...""I'm serious."She smiled, but there was a sadness behind it that made the gesture look like it hurt."I'm happy you're surrounded by people who care so much about you." Her voice trembled slightly. "People who are willing to protect you. I was a bad friend to you, and I accept my mistake."She blinked rapidly, clearly trying to stop her eyes from filling with tears."I hope you do accept your mistake. Just so you know—if you came back into her life just to hurt Lena again, we wouldn't let you get away with it."Nora said it flatly, eyes locked on Julia."Nora. That's enough, please."I sighed and turned toward everyone."I want all of you to apologize to Julia."Hannah's eyes widened. "Seriously?""Yes." I crossed my arms. "She's my guest. You made her feel unwelcome, and now she's standing here trying not to cry. I'm not happy about that."Jessie's face immediately fell with guilt. "I'm sorry, Julia."Christy sighed. "Yeah. I'm sorry too."Nora shrugged. "Fine. I'm sorry.
