Bella's phone rang the next day, the familiar tune of Lily's ringtone filling the room. She glanced at her phone, her swollen eyes feeling heavy. She knew she had to talk to her best friend, but her voice was still raw from all the crying the night before. Bella couldn't find it in herself to answer just yet. She simply let the call go to voicemail, not having the strength to explain her emotions.After a few minutes, her phone pinged with a new message. It was from Lily. Bella picked up her phone to see what her best friend had to say.The message simply read, "Are you okay?" Bella stared at those words for a moment.She wasn't sure how to respond. "Okay" felt like a distant and unattainable concept right now. She finally managed to type out a response, her fingers shaking, "Not okay."Lily replied almost instantly, "I'm on my way." Bella knew her friend would come running to her side, as she always did in times of need. She didn't respond to Lily's message but was grateful for the u

It was a strange feeling to be on the cusp of adulthood, and she couldn't help but reflect on the whirlwind of experiences that had brought her to this point.Lily, her ever-supportive friend, was the one to remind her of the upcoming milestone. They sat in their shared apartment, sipping on cups of tea, when Lily suddenly perked up, her eyes widening with excitement."Bella," Lily said, her voice filled with enthusiasm, "your birthday is just around the corner! We have to plan something special."Bella blinked, the reminder jolting her from her usual routine of studies and writing. She was almost taken aback by the realization that she had nearly forgotten her own birthday. It seemed like the chaos of life had pushed her special day to the back of her mind."You're right," Bella replied, a faint smile tugging

Bella's birthday had arrived, and it happened to fall on a Saturday this year, which was perfect for their party plans. As the sun's rays gently filtered into her room, she was roused from her sleep by the sense of someone's presence. When she finally managed to open her eyes, she found Lily standing beside her bed, holding a tray filled with breakfast and a bunch of birthday balloons. Lily was singing "Happy Birthday" loudly and enthusiastically.Bella couldn't help but laugh at her friend's infectious enthusiasm. The balloons bobbed above her head as she set the tray down on the bed."Happy birthday, Bella! I hope you're ready for an amazing day!""Thank you, Lily! You're the best!"They dug into the delicious breakfast and chatted about the plans for the night. Bella was looking forward to the night club party, and with Lily by her side, she knew it was going to be an unforgettable birthday celebration.As Bella lay in her cozy bed, basking in the warm glow of Lily's unexpected bir
Forbidden Desires Chapter 22: Wild Night
The night at Oasis was a whirlwind of lights, music, and cocktails, and Bella was swept up in the intoxicating atmosphere. Lily was unstoppable, ordering round after round of delicious and colorful cocktails, each one more tempting than the last. As the alcohol flowed, Bella's inhibitions melted away, and she lost herself in the sea of people on the dance floor.Hours passed in a blur. Bella danced with a sense of abandon, moving to the rhythm of the music like she had never danced before. The sensation of freedom and escape from her everyday life was exhilarating, and the alcohol blurred the edges of reality, making everything seem surreal.Amid the pulsating beats and flashing lights, one of the guys who had been casting longing glances in Bella's direction finally made his move. He edged closer to her on the crowded dance floor, his hands finding her waist, and he began to dance provocatively, pressing his body against hers.In her alcohol-induced haze, Bella found herself in a dil
Forbidden Desires Chapter 23: His Command
Reid locked the door to the VIP office and turned to face Bella, his expression dark and filled with a simmering anger. He couldn't believe the recklessness he had just witnessed on the dance floor and the danger that she was just in. Bella looked flustered; her cheeks flushed from the alcohol coursing through her veins. She tried to stand her ground, despite the overwhelming intimidation she felt when confronted by Reid's stern gaze.With a hint of irritation in his voice, Reid demanded, "Bella, what the fuck were you doing down there??"Bella swallowed hard, the alcohol making her responses less controlled. She tried to assert her independence, even though she knew she was in the wrong, plus that she was still angry and hurt by his rejection that happened several months ago."Reid, I appreciate your help, but it's not your business to pry into my personal affairs."Reid's anger flared, and he couldn't hold back his frustration. He stepped closer to Bella, his voice laced with irrita

Their passionate encounter had momentarily subsided, leaving them breathless and entangled in the dimly lit room. In the quiet moments that followed their passionate encounter, Reid found himself unable to suppress the questions swirling in his mind. He traced gentle patterns on Bella's back, his voice tender and slightly angry as he sought the answers he longed to understand."Bella," he began, "Why didn't you tell me that you were a virgin?"Bella nestled herself closer to him, her forehead resting on his chest. She let out a deep sigh before answering, "I didn't want it to change anything between us. I didn't want you to treat me differently or think I was inexperienced."Reid ran his fingers through her hair. "I understand why you kept it to yourself, but I could’ve hurt you in the heat of the moment. Plus, you deserved something better than your first time being in a nightclub on top of a desk." he replied, slightly irritated.After a few more moments, Reid and Bella gently untan

He cursed himself for his weakness, for wanting someone like her, someone who could never fit into his world.As he replayed their passionate moments in his mind, he couldn't help but wonder what could have been. He recalled the way Bella had looked at him with longing and desire, and the taste of her lips that still lingered on his. He thought about her youthful exuberance, her honesty, and her bravery in the face of his harsh rejection.The night had been an awakening for him, a reminder that he was not immune to the desires of the heart. Reid was used to controlling every aspect of his life, and emotions were something he had learned to lock away.
