She stepped back, curling her small fists of her gown. She looked beautiful, ethereal. Her big doe eyes blinked at his sudden arrival. Her breath hitched the moment he took steps towards her. "What are you doing here? Cavin?" She questioned stammering. 
"Say no to this engagement now!" He growled, pulling her by her waist. Her soft body crashed with hard one. Making her breath uneven. She tried to avoid his strong gaze. That was piercing her soul. 
"Why would I?" She questioned back confidently. Triggering his feelings. His wants. His desires. Without any second thought he crashed his lips on hers. Feeling her adopted uncles lips on hers, she shivered at the thought. Their forbidden desires would lead them to problems.

Fallen For The Forbidden

My heart was still racing from our banter, the charged look in his eyes making it hard to catch my breath. But even as the spark lingered, I felt the cool reminder of reality: Natalie, hovering nearby, watching us like a hawk. And then there was Nikolai, still standing beside me, blissfully unaware of the turmoil unfolding within me.


　　"That ring looked stunning on you, Eliza," Nikolai said, breaking the silence. He was leaning against the counter, watching me with a soft, admiring gaze that somehow only made the tangled feelings in my chest tighten further. I guess his flirting didn't work on the assistant girls.


　　"Thanks," I murmured, sliding it back into the display. "It was beautiful."
