Forbidden Love

My life was full of joy and love. I was studying for the profession I had dreamed of since childhood. I had a boyfriend whom I think I truly loved, and we were going to get married, but one trip to a club changed everything.

Fleeing from my cruel father and an unwanted marriage, I fell into the hands of a dangerous man. Only in his arms did I feel truly alive for the first time.

I knew from childhood that something had gone wrong. My luck just evaporated, or maybe it never existed in the first place. I was destined to get involved in all sorts of trouble, unable to control anything and constantly fearing for my life. But when I sincerely believed in God for the only time in my life and prayed for him to send me salvation, I didn't mean him. My attractive guardian angel, who looks more like a demon. As it turned out, he was the one who literally fell on my head, and he was the one to blame for my misfortunes!

I didn’t plan any of this. I just wanted to show my ex that I was worth more. So, at the office party, I approached a stranger and asked him to play along. Turned out, he was my boss...

Open the door. I want to get out!“ I say. ”No!“ he says. ”Alex, I want to get out! Open the door, please!“ I repeat. ”Son, it won't help you," he says and starts the engine. I'll take you home. I roll my eyes, take a deep breath, and tell him the address of the neighboring house. “That kiss didn't mean anything!” I blurt out as we drive. “You caught me off guard, and I couldn't-” “Resist?” he finishes for me. I open my mouth to tell him to go to hell and then close it. What good will it do me? Alex is not going to stop me anyway. He sees right through me because he's experienced in these things, and I've never been kissed properly. I can say that it was my first real adult kiss.

— Get out, — he says firmly, surprising everyone. I instantly flush. Lowering my gaze, I slowly make my way to the door. — I’m a little busy, — I dare to look at his angry face. — Come with me, — he turns and heads to the office. I have no choice. I follow him as if it’s a punishment. — Why didn’t you say? — he asks directly as the door closes behind me. — I wanted to, but... I didn’t dare, — I exhale with a creak. — Does it even matter? — I mumble, staring at the floor. — Does it matter? Are you serious?! — I’ve never heard so much anger in his voice. — Sorry... about that, — I feel moisture in my eyes. — This meeting shouldn’t have happened. You were right, we’ll both regret it. — I don’t regret it. — Because you have no feelings. — Sasha, — he breathes out in shock. We had an agreemen

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That's what they say. One simple saying, but how many facets there are in it. You can disguise mistakes or evil deeds as good ones. You can have good intentions, but do nothing to implement them. And it may happen that the most sincere and desperate actions will have unexpectedly fatal consequences. And then it doesn't matter for what reasons and by whom that apple was picked - both will burn...

"How long have you been married?" Igor abruptly changed the subject. "Three years," Emilia replied briefly, convincing herself it was just an ordinary question with no hidden meaning. "Thank you for saving me back then…" "You’ve already thanked me," Igor smiled. "Are you trying to dodge the conversation about your family life? Don’t want to be asked such questions? But this isn’t idle curiosity — I need to know who will be involved in raising my daughter." "You can take a look at my résumé," Emilia quickly added. "I already have. My wife showed it to me and asked if I approved," Igor said as he stopped at a traffic light upon entering the city. "Of course I approved — I had no reason to object. But I’d like to know more about you as a person…"

She was running from her past. He — never let go of his. When Yesenia found herself under a stranger’s roof, she did not yet know that the greatest danger was not the outside world, but those who could see straight through her. Mano never asks questions. But his silence is a mirror where hiding is impossible. Every glance, every quiet presence of his is a challenge — one almost impossible to resist. A dark tale of a love stronger than fear. A story of two souls slowly, inexorably orbiting each other — until it becomes too late to escape.

She was young and inexperienced when she met him. Tall, handsome, confident, and charming. He possessed a mischievous smile that made her knees buckle. For her, it was love at first sight. For him, it was just a fling on his vacation trip. She gave herself over with love and passion. Fascinated by all the emotions and sensations that awoke in her body, she didn't stop to consider the consequences her actions could bring. Weeks later, sitting in front of the toilet, expelling everything that entered her stomach, she began to understand that there are decisions that mark us and that once made, there is no going back, because when his mother finds out about the fruit growing in her womb, she will consider it a disgrace to her family's good name and will do everything to cover up the offense.

Him. Betrayed at a very young age by two women at once. The only way to keep his sanity is to hide behind the bad-boy persona everyone already believes him to be. But will there be someone who can see the real Adam beneath the mask of carefree recklessness? Her. A hothouse flower, carefully raised by her parents for a stable future that had been decided long ago: they chose her profession and a “worthy” husband, leaving Camilla only one passion as a gift — the place where she feels flight and freedom — equestrian sport. What will happen when, as punishment, he’s forced to return to university and sent to do community service at the riding arena? Love will happen. Forbidden. Wild. Fiery. Passionate. The kind of love that could set even the stars ablaze.

Igor has everything a man his age could want: a successful business, a luxurious home, and a fiancée who looks like she stepped off the cover of a magazine. But his old friend, who once saved Igor's life, informs him that it is time to repay the debt and asks him to take care of his daughter. A wild red-haired girl bursts into Igor's life and destroys everything in an instant. However... was he really happy before he met her? And if not, can he change anything now?

My senses are fully alert; I lose awareness of my own breathing. I remain in anticipation as his gaze pierces through me with a hint of curiosity. I'm caught between passion and uncertainty upon meeting Oliver — my attractive boss and the mysterious man who once made me “see the stars without a telescope” in a bar. I find myself constantly torn between what’s allowed and what’s forbidden in a relationship with my superior, but the story may take an unexpected turn as I begin to uncover who Oliver really is — and that we share much more than I ever imagined.
