All Chapters of A Forbidden Night with a Stranger (English) : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It has been more than a year since Yna Maria’s heart was broken, yet the pain still feels fresh, as if it happened only yesterday. She simply cannot move on. Even when others call her foolish, she chooses to hold on to hope, believing that one day, Janus will walk back into her life.Everything changed after that painful first heartbreak. The cheerful, loving, and kind daughter the Cortes family once knew was gone. In her place emerged a reckless, rebellious girl who spent her days drinking and causing trouble.She saw no purpose in life anymore, thinking of herself as worthless. She became a regular at her favorite bar, drinking until she could barely stand. She lost count of how many times she got into fights, defending herself from the unwanted advances of other drunk men. This was exactly what worried her parents most — their family name was being dragged through the mud, and what angered her father the most was having to constantly fix the messes she made.Jonathan grew tired of

Alas gasped and tried to push her away, but she pulled him right back. She kissed him deeply, tenderly, and with such longing — every touch spoke of love and a desperate need to be close.His knees felt weak, and he could not understand what was happening to him. A string of curses raced through his mind. He had been around many drunk women before, and some had even kissed him, yet never once had his body reacted this way. Why was it so different with this stranger he had never met before?He could no longer hold back the surge of desire rising within him, and he felt his manhood awaken with fierce intensity. He wanted her more than he could explain.“Please… stop. This shouldn’t be happening. I don’t even know you!” he protested again, struggling to control the overwhelming urge burning inside him.He fought with every ounce of his strength to resist, yet the woman was the one leading him into temptation. Good God, he thought, don’t let my knees give in to what she is doing.“Shhh… t

After finishing his work at the office, Alas went home to share dinner with his father. It was the first time they would have a proper meal together since his return to the Philippines; he had been far too busy lately to visit his father at their residence.“Good evening, Dad,” he greeted as he walked in, finding his father already seated at the dining table.“Good evening to you too, son. Please, have a seat and let’s eat,” Eduardo replied, beaming with a wide, warm smile.The table was already fully set. “Wow — you really know me well, Dad. All of these are my favorites,” Alas said with a happy grin, quickly taking a plate and helping himself generously to the dishes he loved most.“Of course I do! That’s exactly why I instructed our chef to prepare every single one of them,” Eduardo said. “Now, let’s enjoy our meal first — we can talk later.”“Sounds perfect, Dad.”For a moment, silence settled over the room. To ease the quiet, Alas decided to speak up, his thoughts turning to the

ALAS woke up extra early that day and took his time getting ready. He slipped into a perfectly tailored suit that fit him like a glove—one that brought out all his best features and made his whole presence feel even more commanding. He looked so effortlessly handsome that anyone who laid eyes on him would surely stop and stare. He ran his favorite Brazilian wax through his hair to get that neat, polished look, then finished off with a spritz of his go-to perfume. Damn, he looked so good, he almost had to admit it to himself.He just wanted his aura to be at its best, so he’d feel confident later when he finally saw Yna. It was her first day of work, and he was genuinely excited to see his childhood friend again.He headed straight to his office. “Lydia, are the documents ready?” he asked—formal, but not overly strict or serious.“Yes, Sir. They’re on your desk,” Lydia replied, glancing up at him. “There’s something different about you, Sir. You look even more handsome than usual these

ALAS’ stomach grumbled, and when he glanced at his wristwatch, he realized it was already past noon. He stood up and looked over to see Yna still at her desk—scrolling through her phone instead of memorizing the documents he’d given her.“Let’s go get lunch,” he offered. He didn’t want her going hungry, and he’d feel guilty if he let her skip a meal.Yna lifted her head to glare at him. “Go ahead. I can eat perfectly well without you,” she replied sarcastically, turning her attention right back to her screen.Alas just shook his head and said nothing more. He’d learned he needed to keep his temper in check every time he was around her. She really was as stubborn as they came.He went to the company canteen alone. He was never picky about food, so he ate what was available without complaint.When he returned to the office, Yna was still glued to her seat. “Hey, go have your lunch now,” he said firmly, settling into his swivel chair and sorting through the pile of papers on his desk.
