Novel & Cerita Forbidden Love Duty And Devastating Betrayal

My legs already feel sticky and damp with his release, and my entire body aches in protest from all the places he’s grabbed, licked, sucked, and claimed the night before. It’s a pain I’ve come to know and, in a twisted way, crave. I let out a long sigh and rest my head against the headboard, my eyes trailing down to the gold wedding ring in his hand. A cruel reminder that he belongs to someone else, a beautiful, devastating symbol that he is someone I shouldn't want, someone I’m not supposed to have. I hate this, this feeling of being a secret, an afterthought, the other woman. I hate feeling this way, like I’m a broken, pathetic version of myself.

Vivian wrapped her arms around his neck, sobbing pitifully. “I just… I just wanted to talk to Estelle. I-I must’ve said something wrong and upset her. I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…” Damien’s eyes snapped to me, blazing with fury and bitter disappointment. “Estelle, no matter what she said, you shouldn’t have touched her. She’s pregnant! How could you do this? You used to be kind. What have you become?” His words froze my blood. “I didn’t! I didn’t push her!”

Loving him was a crime Not a metaphor, not a whispered exaggeration lovers used to feel dangerous. In Averyn, love—when forbidden —was not forgiven. It was answered with death. Swift. Public. Unquestioned. It was a law carved with blood and governed without mercy. Desire was not to be claimed in Averyn, it was regulated strictly with loyalty. Step-siblings, sworn kin, promised women, high-profile individuals, and the commoner: sacred bonds, any romance that crosses these lines is met with the same sentence.

Because pain, unlike love, could be weaponized. “She chose Matteo because he does not demand,” I continued. “Because he stands beside instead of above.” I did not say that I had once admired that about him. That I had underestimated how dangerous that could be to a woman like Serafina. “She believes that makes her free,” I said. I rose slowly, placing my hands on the table. “We will prove otherwise.” Not through force. Through inevitability. “Matteo will be faced with choices where loyalty costs lives,” I said. “Vittorio will be offered survival that requires compromise. Elena will be tempted with influence she cannot resist.”

He took off his suit jacket and put it aside and unbuttoned the first two buttons with a sigh, "I would very much like you to know to hate everyone and turn to me, but now why does my conscience bother me as if I had offended her?" He came out and stood beside her, holding an umbrella that covered them both, and she was looking at the rain that was getting more and more raining. Some time passed and there was calm between them. She said in a hoarse voice and pain: "Can you tell me? Why are the people we love more than ourselves and trust them to the point of madness always betray us?" ?" He remained silent, not knowing what to answer her, so she continued: "Am I so dumb? Or am I weak in char

"A silent investor. Convinced your father the fraud was temporary, a bridge to cover a bad quarter, promised it would never need to surface. When Marcus found it, Langford was the one who suggested the fire — said it would destroy the physical records before anyone could trace the money properly. I didn't order that fire. I swear to you both, I didn't know until after it happened. But I covered for it anyway, because by then I was already too deep in the lie to climb back out clean." My mother made a small, broken sound beside me. "You're telling me my husband committed fraud, and your husband — " She stopped, correcting herself with visible effort. "Richard covered up an actual arson, and n

"She knows you're a good guy. She knows you did everything right. But being good doesn't change what this is." ​"And what is this?" I spat, taking another step closer, my chest almost touching his torn jersey. "You think this is love, Vincent?! You think dragging her into your family's sick, corrupt mess is love?! Your father is marrying her mother! You two are going to be living under the exact same roof with public documents tying your names together! If anyone at Bellmont finds out, if the press gets a single hint of this, she will be completely destroyed!" ​Vincent’s dark eyes flared, a dangerous flame igniting behind them. "I'll kill anyone who tries to touch her name."

"I reacted that way because I was shocked. Never did it occur to me that you could be my daughter's best friend. I trust you so much Gabby so there's no reason to believe you knew who Bella was to me all these time and decided to deceive both of us by not telling us. "My love, you don't need to feel like a bad person because you're not a bad person. Isabelle has told me so much about you and how much of a kind-hearted person you are. Just like you, it never occurred to me that she was talking about my Gabby all these while." "You also don't need to feel like a Betrayal because you've not betrayed anyone. You and I fell in love without knowing we were somehow related." "It takes two beautiful
