FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 35
I dry my hair and lay on my bed, reminiscing about the moment Josh and I spent in the past few hours. After that wonderful kiss we shared, we watched horror movies while eating popcorn and drinking iced tea.I chuckle when I remember how I threw my bowl of popcorn in fright and Josh’s exact words.“You’re acting like Do Do-Hee.” He’s the one that said we shouldn’t talk about the movie anymore, yet he was comparing me to the female lead of that movie.“You’re supposed to cuddle me instead of wasting perfectly good popcorn.” I laugh softly. He had made such a fuss over the popcorn that I wondered what was wrong.My heart skips a beat when I remember how Josh had begged me, just so that he could spend the night with me cuddled up in my bed. I had refused and he went to bed all bummed.“I’m sorry love.” I remember whispering to him.It’s not like I wouldn't love to spend the night with him, I would…but our parents can come home anytime and we’ll be busted. Well at least that’s the only
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 36
I feel air slowly being sucked out of me, my life flashing before my eyes.So this is it? This is how I'll die? It’s not how I hoped to die though, this has more pain attached to it, no one would want to die like this,I'm sure.This can’t be how I'll die right? Josh will come save me, right? No I don't think so, this isn’t some fictional story, it’s real life.Maybe if I plead with Ross to spare my life he’d listen to me. Maybe he’ll pity me, maybe his love for me will resurface.“Pl…ease…Ro…ss…I don’t….want to…die.” I try my best to beg him.I’m pretty sure I'm not going to last two more minutes if he doesn’t release me now.I look at him, hope visible in my eyes but he doesn’t seem to budge, my pleas seem to have fallen on deaf ears.I close my eyes, waiting for death to finally consume me, I guess this is the end of my story.“Boss.” I hear someone call out and Ross’ hand slowly retracts from my neck.I place my free hand on my chest, coughing and gasping for breath while staring a
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 37
ROSSI have been waiting for Madeline for a while now but she isn’t yet back. How long does it take a woman to give a girl food and clothes? Could Mia be trying to get Madeline to help her escape? She seems very capable of doing so, but I don’t think Madeline would do something so stupid. Plus, there’s no way Mia can escape through the room’s window….still i shouldn’t take any chances right?It’s best I go check up on them.I get up from my seat and I’m about to head out when one of my body guards walks in with a phone ringing in his hands.I stare at it closely and notice that it’s Mia’s phone, I had gotten my men take it along with them last night.“He won’t stop calling and texting, boss.” My guard tells me.I sigh. It’s Josh, I would’ve known even if I didn’t see the Caller ID.“Hand me the phone.” I command. “I’ll take care of it myself.” He gives me the phone and I head to Mia’s room.I enter inside without knocking and find Madeline feeding Mia who’s very reluctant to eat.“It
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 38
The lady opens her eyes and glances around before standing up and walking towards me.I eye her up and down before moving towards a hidden compartment in the room and bringing out a suitcase filled with cash.I hand it over to her and she gasps at the sight of the large amount of money.“This looks way more than we agreed, boss.” I nod.“That’s cuz it is.” She smiles.“I appreciate boss. Thanks you so much.” She starts walking away but i put my hand up in front of her, blocking her path.“If anyone gets a whiff of this..” She stares at me intently. “…I promise to kill you myself.” She gulps nervously.“No one, especially not Mia, should find out about this. Understood?” She bobs her head.“I promise you boss, no one will know about this.”“It was nice doing business with you.” I shake her hand. “I hope to never see you again.” She says nothing.I call a maid to take her to the bathroom so she can get cleaned up. I head out of the dungeon, into the house and into Mia’s room where i fin

MIARoss pulls me closer, deepening the kiss. He pushes his tongue into my mouth, exploring it and I reciprocate.Why am I kissing him? Why am I not breaking the kiss? Am I not cheating on Josh? Ross has hurt me, yet here I am. But he’s sorry, he apologised for what he did, didn’t he?How do I know that he’s telling the truth? How do I know that it’s not part of his plan?He eventually breaks the kiss and stares at me intently, with an emotion I can’t fathom on his face.“Do you agree?” I nod and he pulls me in for a hug.I’m a fool right? I claim to love Josh but I’m agreeing to be Ross’ girlfriend for a week, and I even kissed him.But doesn’t he deserve a chance, a chance to prove that he’s a changed person? He has a conscience and he’s sorry for what he did so why shouldn’t I forgive him. Plus, my mom believes that he’s my boyfriend so why not keep up with the act for a little while.We hear a phone buzzing and Ross breaks the hug. He brings out the phone from his pocket and I reco
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 40
ROSSI walk out of the room in a bid to clear my head. What changed? Why did I suddenly decide not to scare her any longer? Why did my heart soften on seeing her that way? What was awaken in me?I inhale deeply, climbing down the steps when my phone rings in my pocket.I bring the phone out and I’m quite taken aback to notice that the caller is my dad.He never calls unless it important, what could be so important? I pick up the phone and I’m greeted by his harsh tone.“I need to see you. I’m giving you only five minutes to arrive at my office.” He hangs up the call and I furrow my brows.He seems mad, what could he be so mad about?I head outside the house and I’m greeted by my bodyguards.“Tell Madeline to take care of Mia till I get back.” I instruct one of them and he nods in understanding.I walk up to my car and instruct the driver to hand me the keys. Once he does so, I get in the car and zoom off.I arrive at my dad’s firm with a minute and half to spare. I enter the building
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 41
I have been thinking about what my dad said to me and I’m finding it very hard to believe it. What he said makes absolute sense but I don’t want to agree, I don’t want to believe that he’s right, I mean, why would Mia kiss me then? “No one kisses the guy that they’re afraid of.” I remember arguing.“No one kisses the guy that they’re not in love with.” My dad had replied.It’s true though, no one kisses the guy that they’re not in love with. Could she have done that to please me or something?I ruffle my hair in frustration. I would never have put it to mind, my dad just had to mention it and put my mind in disarray ugggh.I undress and walk into the bathroom, turning on the shower and allowing the cold water to drop unto my body, soothing me.I run my hands through my hair, trying my best not to think about the discussion with my dad.“You’re a fool. Do you know that?”“This is another level of stupidity.”My dad’s words ring in my ears and I groan in frustration.I know my actions
FORBIDDEN BONDS CHAPTER 42
MIAI’m still quite shocked that Ross allowed me to go, even when I was leaving, he didn’t try to stop me, I didn’t even sight him.What changed though? Why did he change from an aggressive maniac to a kind, loving guy? Does he have a personality disorder or something?I walk up to the door of the ‘Bank’s residence’ and take a deep breath before placing a soft knock on the door.How will my mom react when she sees me? How will Mr Banks react? I bet they’re not even home right now. How will Josh react though? Will he shout at me? Will he hug me? Will he be mad at me?I place another knock on the door, louder than the previous one, since no one has shown up.Is the house empty? Is nobody home?I ring the doorbell this time and I hear a low grunt. Who’s home?“Is someone home? It’s me, Mia.” I say in a half yell but all I hear is another faint grunt.I attempt to ring the doorbell again when I finally notice that the door isn’t closed well, it had been slightly open all this time.I pus
