All Chapters of Craving My Forbidden Daddy: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Lila’s POVThe weight of last night pressed on me like a heavy blanket I couldn’t shake off. I sat on the edge of the bed in Sebastian’s private quarters, staring at my hands. They still trembled slightly from everything Theo had done. The bruises on my arms were starting to show, dark reminders of his hate. Sebastian knelt in front of me, his eyes full of pain and fury.“I swear to you, Lila,” he said, his voice low and fierce. “I will end Theo’s terror. No more games. No more attacks. This stops now.”I looked at him, tears already gathering in my eyes. “How? He’s your son. And he’s so full of rage. Last night… it broke something in me.”Sebastian reached up and gently wiped a tear from my cheek. “It doesn’t matter that he’s my son. What he did to you crossed every line. I’ll protect you with everything I have.”That was when the breakdown came. A sob escaped my throat, and I fell forward into his arms. Sebastian caught me easily, pulling me close against his chest. I cried hard, th

Sebastian’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, the phone still in my hand. The photos and short videos from Theo stared back at me. Images of Lila with him in dark rooms and shadowed corners. My stomach twisted hard. For a long moment, doubt tried to settle in my chest. Had she been lying this whole time? Had she been with my son for months?Lila sat beside me, her face pale. She reached for the phone, but I held it away.“Sebastian, those aren’t real,” she said, her voice shaking. “Theo is trying to destroy us. You know he can fake things. Please look at me.”I turned and met her eyes. Tears already shone there. The fear in them hit me harder than the photos. I set the phone down and took both her hands in mine.“I want to believe you,” I said slowly. “My head is full of questions right now. These pictures look real. But my heart… my heart chooses you.”Lila squeezed my fingers tight. “I never slept with him willingly. Not once. Everything he did to me was force or lies. You have to t

Lila’s POVA strong hand clamped over my mouth from behind. Another arm locked around my waist and yanked me backward. I knew that grip. Theo. His breath was hot against my ear.“Stay quiet,” he whispered. “You’re coming with me. No more games.”I twisted and kicked. My heel hit his shin. He cursed but did not let go. He dragged me toward the side doors that led to the service hallway. My shoes scraped the floor. I tried to scream, but his hand stayed tight.Then another body slammed into us. Sebastian. I felt his shoulder crash against Theo’s. The arm around me loosened for one second. I tore free and stumbled forward into the dark.“Get away from her!” Sebastian’s voice was low and rough.Theo laughed, the sound ugly in the blackness. “She’s not yours, Father. She never was.”Bodies moved fast. I heard fists hit flesh. A table overturned. Someone near us shouted. Guests pushed and shoved, trying to find the exits. Phones lit up like tiny stars, but they only made the shadows worse.

Lila’s POVThe sight of the black jackets and the weapons was enough. Guests screamed and dropped to the floor. Tables overturned. The armed men spread out fast and blocked every exit.Theo walked straight toward me. Two of his men grabbed Sebastian by the arms and dragged him backward. Sebastian fought hard. His elbow hit one man in the face. The second man slammed a gun against his side.“Sebastian!” I shouted.Theo’s hand closed around my upper arm like a vise. “You’re coming with me.”He pulled me away from the main ballroom and down the side hallway. I dug my heels into the floor, but he was stronger. He shoved open a storage room door, pushed me inside, and locked it behind us. The room was small and dim. Shelves of empty bottles lined the walls. The air smelled of dust and old cork.Theo spun me around and pinned my back against the wall. His forearm pressed across my chest, holding me in place. His face was close. His eyes looked wild.“Hand over the papers,” he said. “Right n

Sebastian’s POVI pulled Lila hard behind the thick stone pillar as the second bullet slammed into the wall right where we had stood. My heart slammed against my ribs. My pants were still half open from the storage room. Her dress hung loose on one shoulder. We had no time to fix our clothes. The only thing that mattered was keeping her alive.Sophia stood in the open doorway with the gun still raised. Her face was pale and twisted with pure anger. Theo pushed himself up from the floor behind her. Blood ran from his split lip. He looked at us with open hate.“Enough!” I shouted. My voice carried across the ballroom. Guests who had been hiding under tables lifted their heads. “Put the gun down, Sophia. This ends right now.”She let out a sharp, ugly laugh. “It ends when that girl is gone and the vineyard is back under my control where it belongs.”I stepped forward slowly, keeping Lila close behind me. “Your control? You have been destroying this place from the inside for months. The m
