All Chapters of Forbidden To Love You : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

CHAPTER TWOMRS. ASHBOURNEELENAI got married to Victor the day before and it was time to move in with him and his family. I stood at the entrance of the Ashbourne estate with a single suitcase beside me.For a moment, I simply stared at the enormous mansion in front of me. I couldn't believe this was going to be my home, at least, for now, I silently hoped.The house looked even more beautiful in the afternoon sunlight. Tall windows covered the front of the mansion, and the perfectly trimmed gardens stretched on both sides of the long driveway.Everything about the place reminded me that I had stepped into a world completely different from the one I had known.I looked down at my old suitcase, it was quite rusty and embarrassing, one wheel was missing and the handle had been repaired some time ago with tape. It was the only thing I had brought with me. I looked at my dress, although neat, it looked faded, and my heels had to be the simplest thing I had on me."Mrs. Ashbourne?"I tur

CHAPTER FOURMY UNCLE'S WIFEELENAAdrian froze.For a moment, nobody in the room said anything.We all looked at him, then at ourselves because we didn't know what had caused the sudden change in his expression.Only a few seconds ago, he had been laughing with Clara and Vivienne.

What did you expect?”“I expected my uncle to mention that he was getti

CHAPTER SIXTHE ICE-CREAM PROMISEELENAAdrian had been home for three freaking days, and some days I forgot how to breathe with him around. By now, I had mastered the sound of his footsteps. They were heavy, short, and quick.That was the first problem. The second was that I was sitting in the living room on a Saturday morning with a book open on my lap, pretending to read, while listening for them."Adrian! You promised!" Vivienne's voice rang down the hallway."I know I did," he laughed softly. "Give me two minutes to find my keys.""You said this weekend," Clara added."And it's Saturday. I'm a man of my word," he said.I looked down and realized I'd been holding my book upside down, so I turned it right side up. Naturally, they were going out without me. I told myself I didn't care, but God, I cared a little. Maybe more than a little."Elena?" Adrian stood in the doorway with his car keys hanging from one finger."Yes?" I said, much too quickly."Are you coming?"I opened my mout
