All Chapters of Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband : Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

The penthouse was completely quiet. Rose had stayed the night in one of the guest rooms after drinking too much wine with her cake, and Leo had left a few hours ago, muttering something about having work to finish.Aria lay in her large bed, tossing and turning. The digital clock on the nightstand read two in the morning. She couldn't sleep. Earlier in the evening, after Damian had taken that phone call in his study, she had noticed a visible shift in him. His broad shoulders were tense, his jaw locked. She hadn't asked him about it, and he hadn't brought it up, but the heavy energy lingered.She pushed the blankets off and walked quietly to the door.Aria opened it. Damian was sitting on the floor in the hallway, his back against the wall. His head was tipped back, his eyes closed, lightly dozing off.Aria stepped out and gently shook his shoulder.Damian woke up instantly. His dark eyes snapped open, immediately scanning her face. He stood up in one fluid motion."What is it?" Damia

Damian sat behind his dark mahogany desk. He stared at the thick manila folder sitting between him and Sebastian. Matteo stood quietly by the door, his hands resting behind his back. Sebastian leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. He looked immaculate, but the dark, lethal energy rolling off him was suffocating. His eyes were completely cold. "We caught his right-hand man three days ago," Sebastian said, his voice deadly quiet in the large room. "I personally broke him." Damian watched him, waiting. "It took time to get him to talk," Sebastian continued, his tone entirely ruthless. "But he finally gave us the foundation of how the Ghost operates. You remember I told you the hitman who came after Aria in the hospital was connected to the orphanage where your mother grew up?" Damian gave a slow, hard nod. "Yes." "It's not just one hitman," Sebastian said. "The Ghost runs a massive underground ring. Strip clubs, black market trades, unregistered muscle. And he recruits

"Aria?" Damian asked, his voice dropping into pure panic as he stepped out from behind the desk. "What's wrong?"Aria didn't answer. She couldn't. She was violently shaking, her mouth opening, but no words came out. Tears spilled rapidly down her pale cheeks as she stared at him with wide, terrified eyes.Damian quickly closed the distance between them. He gently grabbed her upper arms, carefully guiding her toward the nearest leather chair."Sit," Damian ordered softly. He pressed her down into the seat, immediately dropping to his knees right beside the chair. He took both of her trembling hands in his, holding them firmly to ground her."Breathe," Damian told her, his eyes locked onto her pale face. "Just breathe. Tell me what's wrong."Aria let out a broken, shuddering sob. Her shaking hand slowly lifted, holding the phone out to him."Rose," Aria choked out.Damian’s jaw clenched. He took the phone from her hands. His dark eyes locked onto the screen, taking in the short video of

They got out of the car and moved quickly through the dark streets. They reached the rusted side entrance of the factory. With a silent nod to each other, they split up, taking three different access points into the massive, pitch-black building.Damian slipped through a broken doorway. The second he stepped inside, a terrible, pungent smell hit him. It smelled like rotting metal, stale water, and chemical mold. The air was freezing.He moved silently through the dark corridors, his gun raised, his boots making absolutely zero noise on the concrete.The earpiece crackled softly in his ear."Did you see anything?" Sebastian’s low voice came through the comms."Nothing," Leo’s rough, strained voice replied instantly.Damian tightened his grip on his weapon, stepping into a massive, open warehouse floor. He scanned the dark corners, his eyes hunting for any sign of movement."Keep moving," Damian ordered quietly into the mic. "Find her."For twenty minutes, they swept through the dead, r

Damian and Leo didn't waste a single second. They lunged forward.Before Logan could even swing his gun toward them, the two massive men tackled him hard to the concrete floor."Leave me!" Logan screamed, thrashing wildly under their weight like a maniac. "I'll kill you! Let me go! My Clara—"Damian grabbed Logan by the collar, pulled his fist back, and slammed it directly into Logan’s scarred face with sickening force. A loud crack echoed through the warehouse as Logan’s teeth broke under the impact. His head snapped back against the concrete, his eyes rolling back as he went dazed.Leo didn't stay. The second Logan was down, Leo scrambled off him and rushed toward Rose. He shoved the dead henchman's weight off her and dropped to his knees."Rose," Leo called out, his voice raw with panic. He carefully rolled her onto her back. Her face was terribly swollen, and a thick stream of blood ran down the side of her head from where she had hit the floor. He gently cradled her face in his l
