All Chapters of Forbidden Desire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aisha’s POV“Oh, Fi. Finally we get to hang out,” I said, getting out of her Dodge Hellcat. We were parked outside the shopping mall.“Girl, I know! Daddy isn’t cutting me any slack these days,” she said, tossing her keys into her bag.I laughed as we walked into the mall. “You know he wouldn’t. Not after finding that stripper in your bed last time.”She burst out laughing. “That’s why he didn’t believe me when I said I’m into girls.”“You told him that?!” I asked, staring at her in shock.Why was I even surprised? It was definitely something Fiona would do.She was carefree like that.She nodded. “He wasn’t even shaken. He said, ‘If you think you can get out of this date by coming up with lies, it’s not happening,’” she mimicked his tone perfectly.I started laughing again as we stepped onto the escalator.“I know you texted me that the man you met was a total snob, but I want full details.”“Right. So, I met him at the restaurant and he was as stuck up as his name, Fernando. He said

Aisha’s POVThe city of Atlanta stretched before me. We had landed a while ago on Kyle’s private plane, and now Theo was driving us to Kyle’s penthouse.“How long are we staying?” I asked Kyle.“A week,” he replied, typing on his phone. He had been on it throughout the entire flight and still hadn’t stopped.I wondered what had his attention so completely.Part of me missed the teasing brush of his lips against my neck or the casual weight of his hand on my thigh.As if he had read my thoughts, he placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed gently.A smile crept onto my face as I looked out the window.Maybe this was the right time to ask him about Cara’s mother.I decided to proceed carefully.“Kyle… what about your mom?” I looked at him nervously.He looked at me sharply, like I had lost my mind. “You know my mother is dead.”I swallowed hard. “Yes, but I actually meant Cara’s…”“Don’t ruin this,” he cut in quietly without looking at me.His hand left my thigh.The warmth disappeared i

Kyle’s POVWhen I couldn’t find Aisha around the house, I figured she must have explored the rooms instead.“Did you want me to find this?” She asked, trying to steady her breathing.“I didn’t expect the rooms would be where you would explore,” I replied, watching her carefully. “Let’s leave,”But instead of listening, she turned back toward the room and walked farther inside, completely ignoring me.“Is this where you bring your women?” She asked quietly, tracing her fingers over the cuffs displayed on the shelf.I chuckled lightly, still leaning on the doorway. “You don’t want to know my past escapades with other women,”“Do you have something like this in Winchester too?”I walked into the room. “Yes,”“Then why haven’t I seen it?”She moved slowly toward the bed, curiosity flickering in her eyes.I immediately understood what she was trying to do.“You haven’t walked into my closet,” I said calmly. “C’mon, fireball. This isn’t a place for you,”She sat on the edge of the bed, her

Aisha’s POVI walked into the company like my heart had not just been shattered into pieces.But I wasn’t here to work.I was here to resign.Everything connected to Kyle Leicester, I wanted out of my life. After today, I never wanted to see him again.I refused to remain his revenge tool.Earlier, he had informed me that I would hand over my remaining duties to Serena before leaving.When I submitted my resignation letter, Serena smiled lightly.“A lot of people are going to celebrate your exit so they can steal peeks at the CEO’s again,” she teased before raising the file in her hand. “And congratulations on your new position.”I stared at her in confusion, wondering how she already knew.“I’ll take this to him,” she added before walking away.I slowly began clearing my desk.A few minutes later, Serena returned.“Mr. Kyle wants you in his office.”My stomach tightened instantly.Still, I forced myself to walk toward his office with my head held high.When I stepped inside, Kyle stoo

Aisha’s POVI tried Fiona’s number for the third time as I walked into the house. It still wasn’t connecting. I hadn’t been able to reach her since yesterday.I saw Marie Ann instructing Ernest on where to place dinner on the dining table.“Aisha, you’re back,” she smiled when she saw me.“Yes,” I smiled back. “Is Ethan back too?”She shook her head. “He said he would be running late. We can go ahead and have dinner without him.”“Oh,” I sighed. “I’m not hungry though. You can go ahead,” I added, turning toward the stairs.“Aisha, wait,” she called after me. “I’ve been meaning to talk to you.”I turned around. “About?”“Oliver. He’s a good man, honestly. Ethan and I think he would be a good match for you.”I shrugged. She had never spoken to me about boys before. Not like this.“Umm, Marie…”“I know, I know,” she sighed. “You’re Kyle’s girlfriend.”“No, I’m not. We ended the contract,” I said quickly.Her eyes widened in surprise. “For real?”I nodded.“Ethan will be so happy to hear t
