Chains of Forbidden Love Chapter 41
Lillian's POVI woke up to a gentle kiss on my cheek, and as I opened my eye, I saw Marcus gazing at me with adoration in his eyes."Good morning," he said, his smile beaming at me.I returned the smile, staring back at his face, wondering if this was all a dream. To make sure, I pecked him on the lips, and when I felt his warm, soft lips, my smile widened."Good morning," I greeted in return."You should get ready, you'll be late for school," he reminded me, and suddenly, I remembered that my classes started today. I jumped out of bed and rushed towards the bathroom, eager to make a good impression and arrive at class extra early.After a quick bath, I dressed in a black turtleneck and black pants, along with a trench coat to ward off the cold. I completed the outfit with a pair of boots. Keeping my makeup simple, I wanted to ensure I didn't look too pale. Once ready, I headed to the kitchen where Marcus and Martha were busy preparing breakfast.Marcus walked over, taking my hand,

Lillian's POVI can feel Lucas's glances on me, but I ignored him. When the other students started coming in, I decided to socialize to distract myself and to be away from Lucas.After a few minutes, the class started, and our professor stepped in.He was wearing round sunglasses, and his white moustache made him look old. He looked strict and intimidating.I sat straight and looked at him as he roamed his eyes around. When our eyes met, I smiled, but he just ignored me and took out an object from his bag - an apple."Paint this apple in an hour. Your timer starts now," he said, and he was about to walk away when Tiffany raised her hand."Won't we introduce ourselves first?" she bravely asked.The professor walked towards her, and I could see her hands trembling as he took a step closer."I don't care about your names, Miss. I care about your art. Impress me with your art, then I will be interested to know your name. But if you can't do that, why waste my time on knowing you?" he aske

Lillian's POVI feel guilty looking at him without being able to tell him that I am engaged to someone."Are you okay?" he asked.I stared at his face.Should I tell him now? But before I could even decide, I saw Lucas stepping inside the store with a woman.Our eyes met. He smiled at me while I remained frozen.Lucas walked towards us while the woman he was with headed to the counter."Hi fia-," Before he could even say that word, I stomped on his foot, making him whimper in pain."What is wrong with you?" he asked, looking at me completely confused. But instead of answering his question, I looked at Marcus, who was looking at us darkly."What's happening?" Marcus coldly asked.I fell silent, and I felt my heart beating loudly in my chest."You're on a date, I see," Lucas said, and a teasing smile played on his lips.If Marcus wasn't here, I would have already punched him in the face.Why does he have to show up here?The courage that I had earlier to confess everything to Marcus was

Lillian's POVMarcus studied my face intently as if trying to process the words I had just spoken."Since when?" he calmly asked."Dad called me last night and told me that I am engaged to Lucas Bennett, and our engagement will be announced next month."Nervously, I waited for his response. Silence enveloped us, and as the moments passed, it felt suffocating.Will he break up with me?"I'll talk to your Dad," he said, but I immediately shook my head, refusing to let him handle this situation. He had so much on his plate, and even though he wouldn't admit it, I knew how tired he was from dealing with everything."I'll handle this one. I will convince Dad to call off the engagement, and if he doesn't agree, then I will convince Lucas," I explained.After a deep breath, Marcus nodded his head after a while."Are you mad at me?" I asked, fear surging through me because of how his mood had changed upon learning about the engagement."No," he said.I reached for his hand and held it, mainta

Lillian's POVI heard voices, but they were blurry.Upon opening my eyes, I was welcomed by white walls and a bright light.I roamed my eyes around and slowly sat on the bed, despite the pain in my stomach."Where am I?" I asked weakly.Martha was the first to approach me. She held my hand, her eyes filled with worry."Where am I?"Tears fell from Martha's eyes. She cupped my face and caressed my cheeks as she looked at me."You are at the hospital, Lillian," she said.My forehead creased when I heard that, and that's when I remembered the blood on my dress, the only thing I remember before everything went black."What's wrong with me, Martha? Why did I bleed?"Before she could answer, Dad walked toward my bed and looked at me with the same cold expression.Beside him stood Victoria, whose eyes were also filled with worry."You'll abort that child, and you will marry Lucas Bennett," he said firmly.Confusion filled me upon hearing those words.What does he mean?"Child?" I asked, look

Marcus's POVI kept calling her name, but she didn't show up.I saw on the news that she's back in Washington, so I'm sure she's at the White House."Lillian, please!" I pleaded.I almost didn't recognize my voice. I sounded desperate, but I don't care. All I want is to see her.I know her dad is stopping her from calling me. It's been two days since I last heard her voice.I want to know if she's okay.I headed towards her room, but before I could open it, Gabriel showed up. He looks mad. Well, I created a huge mess, and his name is at risk, so I understand why he's angry with me."Leave, Marcus, I'm asking nicely," he said, not shouting, but I feel his rage."I need to see you, Lillian."I knelt on the floor, not minding what he would think of me. "Just let me see Lillian.""She isn't here," he coldly responded."Don't lie to me, please. I know she is here."I crawled towards the door and knocked with all my strength. "Love, please, I know you're in there."I kept knocking on her do

Lillian's POVI feel hollow, forcing a smile in front of the camera as my father speaks. I want to cry and scream for him to stop, but I'm paralyzed, unable to move."Are you okay?" Lucas asks.I nod, turning my head back to face the front."The beach photo was completely edited. My team is tracking down the person who uploaded it and I will make sure they will be punished for tarnishing my daughter's and stepson's reputation," my father says.I listen to his speech, knowing he's a skilled liar."Mr President, what do you say about the rumour that your daughter's engagement to the heir of Bennett Corporation is to cover up her sinful romance with her step-brother?" a reporter asks.My dad looks at me, then at Lucas, before returning his gaze to the camera. "Lillian and Lucas have been engaged for a while now, but we kept it private to give them space and protect them from pressure. We're only going public now to clear my daughter's name."Tears appear in my father's eyes, and I can't

Lillian's POVWaiting for Lucas's response felt like an eternity, and before I could even hear his answer, Dad stepped inside the room."Let's go," he said, but Lucas remained frozen.My heart beat loudly as I waited for him to stand up.Telling him that I am pregnant was a bad idea. What if he couldn't accept it?What if he calls off the engagement? I know Dad will kill me if that happens.Dad looked at Lucas intently, waiting for him to stand, but he remained sitting. "Lucas?"Dad's call snapped him back to the present. He seemed dazed, probably trying to process the truth I confessed.From his expression, I could already tell that he was having second thoughts. I understood him. Discovering that your fiancee is pregnant with another man's child before your wedding would make anyone rethink the marriage.I knew he might call off the engagement, but I hoped he wouldn't because my child's life depended on him.Keeping my secret would have made things easier, but I couldn't do that to
