All Chapters of His Forbidden Flower: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"You became mine long before you ever knew my name- Adrian"*****Claire stared at him, alarm flashing across her face.How foolish of her. For one reckless moment, she had actually believed she could outsmart a man who was obsessively fixated on her.Adrian noticed everything. The way her pupils had dilated. The tremor running through her body. The way her arms were folded tightly across her chest as though they could protect her from him.A slow smile curved his lips.It was adorable.Without breaking eye contact, he placed a hand on either side of the wall, effectively trapping her between his arms. Then he leaned closer."Why are you so scared of me?" he asked softly. Claire immediately pressed herself against the wall."You shouldn't be afraid of your boyfriend."The words made her stomach churn. Rage and disgust burned inside her chest, but she forced herself to stay calm."Leave me alone."Her voice came out sharper than intended.Adrian's smile widened. He could see how desper

Scraping his chair across the polished floor, Adrian waited for Claire to settle into her. His eyes lingered on her.She looked breathtaking.The soft maroon dress hugged her frame perfectly, making her resemble a porcelain doll. Unable to resist, he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the crown of her head.Claire flinched. Her fingers instinctively tightened around the edge of the chair. Smiling to himself, Adrian rounded the table and took the seat opposite her. He slid the menu across the table."Choose whatever you want."Claire reluctantly accepted it. The names of the dishes meant nothing to her. They were all French, Italian, or delicacies she'd never even heard of. Then her gaze shifted to the prices.Her breath caught.One appetiser alone costs more than her monthly grocery budget."This is the finest restaurant in Chicago," Adrian said, noticing the disbelief on her face."If there's something else you want, just tell me." His lips curved into a smile. "I'll have the ch

Shaking his head, Adrian sat on his knees and looked down at her."You are right, Cherry. I may be a monster, but I would never take advantage of you."He knew Claire would hate him forever once she gained her senses. It was not like he was regretful of his actions, but he couldn't taint her. This would be rape, and he wouldn't stoop this low.Her dignity belonged to her, and he would definitely claim her one day.But by her consent.Adrian lowered down and cupped her face in his palms gently. Claire blinked at him innocently."I love you", he spoke earnestly and pecked her lips", and I wouldn't stop unless you love me back, Cherry."The determination was clear in his eyes.Claire turned restless. She continued squirming like a dying fish. The aphrodisiac had clouded her judgment. Lights blurred into streaks of gold and white as she was slowly losing the grip of reality. But with time, the pain between her legs was intensifying. Claire rubbed her thighs together as she was feeling sco

Claire stumbled backwards so violently that the chair behind her toppled over with a deafening crash. A strangled scream escaped her lips before she clamped both hands over her mouth."No..."The whisper barely left her throat. Her entire body erupted into violent tremors. Fresh tears blurred her vision as raw, primal fear consumed every rational thought.He's here.Adrian.The man who had ripped off her innocence. Turned her into an object of pleasure only to sate his sick desires.He had stolen her sense of safety... her peace... her ability to breathe without fear.Panic seized her.Without another glance, Claire lunged toward the window and slammed both panes shut with a loud bang before yanking the curtains together. Her frantic hands fumbled with the locks.Click.Click.Click.She checked them again.And again.As if a tiny metal latch could keep a monster away. Her breathing became erratic."No... no... no..."She spun around and ran to the front door.Locked.She twisted the h

Terrified to the bone, Claire tried running to the left when she was pulled back in an instant as Adrian grabbed her and slammed her on the tree. Pain tore through her back as she looked at him with wide eyes."P..Please.." she tried speaking when Adrian hushed her by placing his index finger on her lips."Sshh. Not anymore." Fury locked in his eyes as he looked at her with a deadly intent."How many times do I have to tell you that you can't escape me, Cherry?" He seethed, his patience hanging by a thread. He closed the distance between them and towered over her. His massive frame shielded her from the water splattering mercilessly over them.Claire sobbed; her eyes leaked with tears as she shivered like a leaf. He was right. There was no escape now.Gripping her jaw, he lowered his face until only inches separated them, his furious gaze boring into her tear-filled eyes."Why are you crying, Claire? I told you to stop, then why didn't you stop? I told you to listen, then why didn't y
