All Chapters of Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband : Chapter 341 - Chapter 350

A man in a filthy leather jacket was standing by the register. He had knocked a display rack of mugs to the linoleum, and his thick, dirty hand was clamped hard around Aria’s wrist.Aria shrank back against the counter, the color draining from her face. Her free hand flew down, clamping fiercely over her stomach to shield the baby.The rational, calculating mind of Damian Cross vanished.The phone slipped from his fingers and hit the concrete.He shoved the diner door open so hard the metal frame groaned. He didn't shout or issue a warning. He just crossed the floor in three massive strides.Leo was already bursting through the kitchen doors, his jaw set as he moved fast to intervene.Damian beat him there.He reached out and grabbed the drunk man’s forearm, squeezing until tendons ground against bone. The man let out a sharp, breathless sound, and his hold on Aria’s wrist failed immediately.Damian shoved the m

The bitter cold of the alley hit Aria like a physical blow the second she stepped outside the diner. Her legs trembled slightly. The adrenaline from the violent altercation inside was draining rapidly, leaving behind a hollow, agonizing exhaustion. She wrapped her thin coat tighter around her pregnant stomach and took a bare step toward the street.She did not make it two feet.A large hand clamped firmly around her wrist.Aria gasped, trying to jerk her arm away. She looked up into the dark, unyielding eyes of Damian Cross. The broken, pleading man who had stood outside her apartment a week ago was gone. In his place stood the ruthless, calculated Chairman. He did not care if she hated him right now. Her safety was the only thing that mattered."Let me go," Aria demanded. Her voice was weak, but the venom in it was absolute.Before Damian could respond, the heavy metal door of the diner banged open. Leo stepped into the alley. The massiv

He stepped forward, reaching out to grab her waist to physically pull her away from the alley."Leave me alone!" Aria shrieked, backing away blindly. Her vision was narrowing into a dark, terrifying tunnel. "You are never going to change! Have you not done enough?"She was completely panicking. Her lungs were burning, starving her brain of oxygen. Damian was so entirely focused on getting her to safety that he missed the physical failure happening right in front of him."Aria, we are leaving," Damian demanded.Aria's eyes rolled back.The remaining strength in her legs vanished entirely. She collapsed, falling limply toward the freezing asphalt."Aria!" Damian roared.He lunged forward. He caught her small frame just inches before she hit the ground. He pulled her unconscious body tightly against his chest. Her head rolled lifelessly against his shoulder. Her skin was freezing cold and terrifyingly pale.The hea

The heavy wooden doors at the end of the emergency hallway clicked shut.Damian remained standing in the sterile waiting room. He kept his dark, bloodshot eyes locked on the closed doors where Rose had just disappeared. The nineteen-year-old girl had walked right past him weeping. Her shoulders had been shaking with heavy sorrow, but she had not fought him. She had not yelled. She had just gone inside to be with her friend.The sound of heavy boots shifting on the linoleum floor broke the quiet.Damian turned his head. Leo had not gone back into the hospital room. The massive line cook was standing just a few feet away, his arms crossed over the faded fabric of his grey hoodie. He stared at Damian. The look in his dark green eyes was flat, cold, and unyielding."She does not want to see you," Leo stated. His rough voice echoed in the empty waiting area.Damian felt the muscles in his jaw lock. The heavy, suffocating guilt he had been drowning in for the past hour was pushed down. A sh

Leo shifted uncomfortably. He shoved his hands deep into the pockets of his hoodie, looking away. He was not used to emotional apologies. "How are you going to talk to her?" Leo asked gruffly. He nodded his chin toward the closed wooden doors down the hall. "She does not even want to see you." "I know," Damian said, staring at the wood grain. "She will not forgive you," Leo told him flatly. "She won't. And you don't deserve forgiveness this easily." "I know that too," Damian murmured. "But if you tell her she is in danger," Leo advised, his voice softening just a fraction. "She will listen to you. She will do whatever it takes to keep the baby safe." Damian nodded slowly. Leo looked back toward the closed doors. He thought about the way Rose had walked into the ward just a few minutes ago. "Did you tell Rose?" Leo asked, his eyes narrowing slightly in thought. "About the danger?" "Yes," Damian admitted. "I told her everything while you were inside with Aria." Leo let out a lo
