FORBIDDEN Chapter 9

The time was eight o'clock in the evening when I awoke, drowned in my own tears and the aches that were constantly running through my thoughts.

I can feel the sorrow he has caused us, and the gap he has left is just too wide. I recognize that I made a mistake as well, but I also recognize that I did everything I could to halt what was occurring between the two of us.

I never compare his affection to that of another person. Edward is someone I am familiar with. His love is limitless, yet it appears that everything has changed for the worst.

Will I be able to return home after this? I don't believe that I am deserving of any of this.

The latest breaking news

Perhaps the Go Enterprises and Salvia Corporation are in peril as a result of this development.

Is there a third party engaged in this situation?

"

We are completely unaware of this development. My cousin Elisha is overjoyed with Edward's presence in her life."

"That is correct. I caught up with them in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. I believe that they are still in the honeymoon stage."

It's Liandoan and Lesley on the line. My cousin is really content with his new wife. They also have two children, but they don't appear to be married based on the way they treat each other and their relationships with them.

My brother is away on business in another country at the moment. That appears to be false information. It is my family who will be the first to find out if they ever do something like that. That is a complete fabrication." Erjay flashes a kind smile towards the camera.

"That does not appear to be the case. There isn't a single topic like this being discussed." Even if this were to happen, Go and Salvia Corp will remain as one entity." It's Tita Hynna on the line. Her beauty is ageless in its appeal. I can't believe she's already fifty-seven years old.

Even if he did not sign the annulment papers, we will not be separated when I switch on the television to avoid hearing the bad news about our marriage. And I despise it. I'm unable to do what I desire.

Then there was the ringing of the doorbell. Despite the fact that I had not anticipated any guests, no one knew where I was. No one, not even one of my relatives or siblings, could help me.

Having looked at their social media pages, it appears that they are protecting us. I'm well aware that my marriage to Edward has piqued the interest of the authorities. Because I haven't received any fresh information, they are unable to do anything but defend us.

The doorbell continued to ring. Perhaps it was the housekeeping, so I removed my robe and came closer to the double door, carefully opening it.

"

"Let's speak about Elisha," Manang suggests. The fact that Oakley was standing directly in front of me, carrying a bunch of flowers, caught me completely off-guard.

There's no need for me to engage in conversation with you, throne."

Look, I'm well aware that I've made a blunder and-

"It makes no difference to me, Oakley. Please leave my ass alone and keep away from me if you don't want to become involved in this situation further." I slammed the door shut as he tried to open it with his hand but got trapped. That I didn't close the door immediately was a positive thing because the closing was delayed as result of my actions.

"Oh my God!" says the speaker. I screamed as I dragged him into the house and left the door open for him.

I escorted him to the kitchen and used an ice cube to apply pressure to the bruise on his index finger.

"Please accept my apologies." I spoke something in hushed tones while holding the ice bag and his hand.

I'm OK, a supper won't damage anything." He only grinned at me, and I pushed the ice bag on the ground while he continued to gaze at me.

What exactly do you want? Let us not round the throne in circles "While I was watching him walk around in my kitchen, he appeared to be at ease, grabbing a drink of water from the sink.

I just want to get to know you better. His insult elicited a little chuckle from me. He's completely mad.

"Do you want to get to know me better in bed? Oakley, I've had enough of this, once is enough "It was something I spoke forcefully, and after that, I sat on the sofa in front of my computer, where I turned on the Xbox and the television.

"I'll make dinner for you tonight."

"What? No, not at all!" After shouting, the bridge of my nose struck his shoulder with force.

"Then it's time to start preparing our meal. I'm going to eat here." He didn't appear to notice or care about my objection, and he just dismissed it.

"

No, I didn't agree.

"You'll either make dinner for me or I'll serve you as my dinner. I sighed in irritation as I headed to the kitchen to begin preparing my pesto spaghetti. He turned on all of the lights, including those in the corridor and the second floor.

"I can't believe you're still playing Xbox," says the other. His next move was to take up a position in my seat and examine the bullets from my games.

"I'm twenty-seven years old. What exactly is wrong with me when I'm playing on the Xbox?" I inquired, then gathered the pasta components and went out to get wine.

"It's your child," says the other. I gave him a kind grin, and he began to examine my apartment.

"Do you enjoy the view?" He asks this when he is standing on the large glass wall from which I can view the entire BGC.

Yes, I made this decision while I was still serving as president, and it lasted until I retired. So I gave up since my cousin assured me that he could handle the company. I am really enamored with shoes, therefore I created a shoe brand that included all types of footware before getting married. I agree with Edward's point of view. He feels that if we squander time, we may come to regret our decision, so I consented to marry him despite my reservations.

Suddenly I was aware that this was not the response to his inquiry and was taken aback.

"I'm sorry, but that's not my response." I really sorry, but he simply laughed.

"I appreciate everything about you. It was only during business parties that I saw you, and as usual, you didn't seem to be paying attention to anybody else than your spouse "he added, to which I responded with a tiny chuckle.

When I first met him, I was head over heels in love with him. He was every woman's fantasy come true, and I was the one who got him. He fell in love with me and proposed to me right away. We were once again enveloped in silence. Then I added the pasta to the sauce, which had already become soft.

My parents never inquired as to whether I was pleased or unhappy; at first, this is inconvenient; arranged marriage is a drag; "After that, I set the table with the cooked pasta and a glass of red wine.

You're fortunate in that you made your own decision. That's one of the reasons why I truly like you. He stated that as if I wasn't present at all. My blood was racing up to my cheeks as I thought about it. He stated it with confidence. I was still embarrassed by what he had confessed.

Thorne, please don't flatter me any longer!

When I reprimanded him, he arranged for someone to sit in front of him as I sat in front of him.

"Why? Is it possible that I said anything incorrectly?" I sighed and shook my head.

"What we're doing is just incorrect. Do you want me to give you a massage, Oakley?" He burst out laughing as he poured wine into our wine cups.

"Of course not, I'm going to take it easy on this. I don't want your life to be damaged as a result of my choice." I took a deep breath and gave a tiny nod in response to what he said.

"It's a positive sign." The first thing I asked myself before starting to eat what I had prepared was, "Where is your ring?" Specifically, I was looking at my left hand. Edward and I were not wearing an engagement or wedding ring at the time. Could it be that this is the reason why people feel that we aren't on good terms because I don't wear my wedding band because I don't wear my wedding ring?

I'm not sure how I missed it. I told him that after I returned home with you, I couldn't remember where I'd put my wedding ring, and he reached for my hand and removed something from his pocket box before reaching for mine.

"Wait, what the—?"

"Shhh, just wear this one," says the author.

He remarked this while opening the box. It's a platinum ring with a large diamond in the middle that has been expertly carved. A diamond is set almost all around the circumference of the ring. When you glance at the ring, you will be taken aback by its incredible brilliance and beauty.

"Can you tell me what this is?" After he put it on me, I was taken aback and questioned.

"A ring..." he began, laughing as he said it, and I rolled my eyes as he continued.

"I know Oakley, but why did you give this to me?" "I know Oakley, but why did you give this to me?" I inquired, perplexed, and he responded with a smile, as if it meant anything to me.

"Just put it on, please. There are no ifs, ands, or buts." I scowled at him while he was still holding my hand, and I just couldn't bring myself to smile when I replied to his questions.

"Oakley, you're causing me some concern. You don't want me to sleep, so what are your plans?" While he was touching my hand, I muttered something to which he responded with a chuckle.

"It's a good fit for you, Elisa. Stop putting yourself through unnecessary stress. Every day, I'll pay you a visit here." When I expressed my confusion about what was going on, he said, "Not at all," I answered, flashing him my smug smile, "Not at all."

"Why? Perhaps the words he uttered and the way I gazed at him caused my cheeks to flush once again.

"What? That is not something I will allow to happen. Get a grip on yourself. Can't you see that this is really insane?"

"When it comes to you, Elisha, I am completely nuts." I kept my gaze away from him and let him to talk.

"

Elisha

"What is the significance of this?!" When I turned my gaze away, I saw the faces of insane men and women.

Is it really Edward and Veda?

In the midst of staring at my hand, which was now next to Oakley's, he said "Elisha" in hushed tones. They were aware of the diamond ring.

"You're a b*tch!"
