The walk to the café was supposed to take thirty-five minutes.

I had been doing it for months now—every morning, to help with my weight loss journey. But this morning, I wasn’t thinking about any of that.

All I had in my head was Mitch’s voice.

"Let’s open our marriage."

My feet moved on their own.

Left. Right. Left. Right.

My eyes stared straight ahead but saw nothing. The world was a blur of gray sidewalks, gray buildings, and gray sky.

I didn’t notice the clouds gathering, nor the

  • FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION    WE GOT HIM

    Tarzan sat quietly in the back seat of a cab, trying to keep his identity hidden as he headed for the headquarters. Rain fell heavily against the top of the moving car. The cab driver, an elderly man with gray hair and a tired face, talked softly about the bad weather. "This rain never stops tonight," he said with a sigh. Just then a black car came speeding out from a dark side street. Its windows rolled down fast. Bright flashes came from inside. Before Tarzan could blink, loud gunshots echoed in the dark. BANG! BANG! BANG! Bullets smashed the taxi's windows into a thousand pieces and the glass flew everywhere. The driver gasped in shock. His eyes went wide with fear. "Take the left!" Tarzan instructed. But it was too late. Before the panicking old man could move, a bullet hit him. Blood sprayed across the dashboard. He made a weak choking sound, then fell forward onto the steering wheel. The car started to slow and swerve. "Shit!" Tarzan's heart pounded hard in his ches

  • FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION    YOU WANTED IT TOO

    As a child, her dreams had been luminous—a source of pride for her mother. She had pictured herself at the helm of her own restaurant, a celebrated chef amid the symphony of sizzling pans, the heady perfume of simmering sauces, and the contented smiles of diners. She would create, nourish, and flourish.But the moment Mitch entered her life, those ambitions quietly receded, like stars swallowed by the encroaching dawn. All she had wanted then was to be his wife—to anchor her existence around him, to pour every part of herself into loving him completely. They would have children and build a happy life. He had promised her that future, too.Now, lying in the dark, the weight of lost years pressed upon her chest. Everything she had constructed, everything she had sacrificed—it had all funneled her to this hollow crossroads.Where would she even begin?---Lena had drifted into sleep, unaware of the bedroom door clicking open.She stirred faintly in the dimness, lost in a half-dream of st

  • FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION    NO PLAN

    AUTHOR'S POV That late evening, Lena had no choice but to return to Julia’s place. The moment she stepped through the door, the air filled with the cheerful clamor of greeting with Julia’s face lighting up with genuine relief and affection, the children swarming around her legs with sticky hugs and excitement. For just a fleeting instant, the weight on Lena's eased. Just a little bit. Even though she knew it wasn't going to last because she will be leaving them tomorrow. Julia called Lena to join them during dinner ,she wanted to refuse because if Julia's husband but that will only make Julia suspicious that she wasn't happy about something. She sat on the chair and opposite her was Julia's husband. When they made eye contact, Lena frowned and said nothing. Julia served her potion and Lena mumbled thanks. "So did you find a place?" Julia asked after minutes of silent eating “Yes,” Lena said, forcing a small smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I’ve found a cheaper ap

    For a moment, all I could do was stare at her.“Jail?” I repeated. “Mitch is in jail?”Sarah blinked.“Oh wow. You really don’t know anything.”My stomach tightened.“Sarah, are you freaking serious? What happened? Why is he in jail?”She leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs.“I only know what Jake told me. Apparently, the girl Mitch got pregnant told him about the pregnancy, and he beat her up. Things got ugly. The girl’s parents got involved, and the police were called.”The girl?Could it be Gabi?“What about the girl in question? Do you know her name?”“I don’t know all the details about the girlfriend.” She shrugged. “But Jake said Mitch completely lost it. He left scars on her, and with the evidence the family has provided, he won’t be getting an easy trial in court.”I stared at her.That didn’t sound like the Mitch I knew.Cruel? Yes.Selfish? Absolutely.But violent?Not usually.I mean, he only laid his hands on me after years of marriage.“Why would he do that? She

  • FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION    NO IDEA

    After walking for some time, I found a small outdoor café just down the street and collapsed into a wrought-iron chair. The rich aroma of fresh coffee and warm pastries did nothing to calm the storm raging inside me. If I didn’t find somewhere safe to live soon, men like him would keep circling me like prey. How was I supposed to secure an apartment when he had already declared the entire city his territory? I wanted to believe he was bluffing, but I’d rather be too careful than live to regret it. There was only one place I could think of. Mitch. I wasn’t sure I could ever feel comfortable with him again after everything that had happened—or if he would even take me back. But right now, I had no choice but to try until I found something else. Going back to Julia’s place wasn’t an option. Not after what happened last night. Even if I had to return there tonight, I was determined not to spend another night under that roof. My phone suddenly rang. I pulled it from my purse, alr

  • FORBIDDEN: HIS PLUS SIZE OBSESSION    HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

    My eyes widened the instant I heard his voice.*How is this even possible?*Andres...“Lena… I’ve been expecting your call.”His words slithered through the phone like smoke. My hands tightened around the device until my knuckles turned white.A cold wave of fear and disbelief crashed over me.“Lena?” He chuckled softly, the smile audible in his voice. “Why have you suddenly gone mute? I’ve been hoping you’d reach out. Nice place, isn’t it? You can have it for free. Stay as long as you want. You don’t have to worry about rent.” His tone darkened with possessive pride. “This city is mine, Lena. Any apartment you find… I’ll make sure it’s yours. No charge.”My stomach twisted violently.I hung up without a word.My heart slammed against my ribs, each brutal beat echoing in my ears like a war drum. *What the hell was that? Has he been stalking me?* That was the only explanation.The walls of the apartment suddenly felt like they were closing in, ready to trap me inside. *Why can’t I

    When was the last time I had a fever this bad? Last year wasn’t this severe. I could still take care of myself back then. But the first year of our marriage… that was the worst. This same kind of fever had flattened me for three full days. Mitch stayed right beside me the entire time—sweet, atte

    LENA'S POV It was a cold morning, but the chill in the air had nothing to do with how I felt. I pressed a trembling hand to my forehead. The skin burned under my palm like a stove left on too long. I swallowed, but my throat felt raw and painfully dry. My whole body felt… ghostly. Not solid any

    MITCH'S POV I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed, muscles loose and mind sharp. No wonder—yesterday’s deep-throat session had drained every bit of stress and frustration out of me. My body still tingling from the memory of it. Lena… I should probably go check on her. No. Going in th

    A flicker of amusement crossed Ricardo's face, but it disappeared quickly. "Make sure that stubbornness doesn't turn into recklessness," he warned. Tarzan smirked. "Noted." Ricardo glanced at the night sky, taking another slow drag from his cigarette. "Join me for a drink, boy." Tarzan smirked
