Forbidden Heat R18

–A month after prom–

“Lucien, I’m home!” I excitedly announce as I walk in the door. Two maids immediately walked in to assist me with my bag and coat. After entering high school, I came to dislike calling my stepfather as ‘father’ so we have been calling each other by our names and that makes me feel so happy. I walked towards the dining room where I believe Lucien must be waiting for me.

“Hi there! I’m Angela! Nice to finally meet you, Natalia.”

A blond woman with sparkling blue eyes, gigantic tits and a curvy ass in a tight dress stood up from the table to greet me with an overly friendly hug.

“Hi. I’m Natalia, nice to meet you too,” I replied politely plastering on my face one of my most sweet smile that I have been trained to present during social gathering occasions. My eyes darted around to try to locate Lucien. He was nowhere in sight. Where is he? … and who is she?

We both sat down at the dinner table where three courses of meal have been prepared and laid out by our maids. Thankfully Lucien walked into the room as I was fishing into my head to find some topic to start a conversation to fill in this awkward silence.

“Natalia, You’re back. Welcome home sweetie. Let me introduce you to our beautiful guest of the evening! This is Angela…she is my fiancé. Angela, this is Natalia, my daughter,” Lucien turned to me with the most ecstatic smile on his face. It took all the energy and soul in my body to plaster a sweet and joyful smile onto my face. If the world is going to come to an end, may it be now.

The three of us shared polite and seemingly pleasant conversations about random things as we ate our dinner. I had my body turned on autopilot with my training to act as a lady to deal with these events while my real-self retreated inside my mind as a way to handle the shock. Lucien looked straight at me multiple times over the course of dinner, showing me that he probably knew that I was not taking this as well as he would have hoped. I made random comments here and there as appropriate throughout dinner.

“Natalia, you are looking for an internship for your last semester of university, right? I would love it if you would consider working for our family’s company after you graduate. Of course, I’m not going to force you but I think it would be a good opportunity for you to learn more about our business during your internship. I spoke to your uncle, Edward, and he thinks you can learn a lot from him by working with him in managing one of our company’s laboratory,” Lucien cheerfully suggested to me with a beaming smile. I didn’t care what he said, I would do anything he asks with that smile.

“Oh sure. I guess it is time that I learn about our business as well…” I replied with a small smile of my own.

“Great then. Edward will be coming over later tonight after he gets off work to discuss some potential roles for you. Feel free to ask him anything.”

With that the dinner came to an end and I rapidly excused myself to go back to my room. I walked upstairs to my room and immediately told my maid that I wanted to spend some time alone. When alone in my room, the emotions that I had bottled up overwhelmed me. I felt tears sting my eyes and rolled down my cheeks slowly as reality sank in that Lucien will soon be marrying another woman. Sure, he has had girlfriends in the past but I did my best to ignore them knowing that none of them would last. I never dreamt that a day would come that I would have to share Lucien with another woman.

**knock knock**

“Natalia, it’s me.” Great, Lucien is here and I am crying my eyes out.

“Please come in…”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Lucien opened the door and immediately strode in to sit beside me on my bed.

“Congratulations on your engagement, Lucien,” I faked a smile and tried to keep my voice from cracking. I need to hold back my tears!

“Thank you … but … if you are really happy for me … why does it look like you’ve been crying?”

I’m not surprised. Lucien knows me very well after all.

“Listen to me, Natalia. It’s been ten years now that your mother has left us. Soon you will become an adult and have your own independent life. I love you and wish you the best. I believe having Angela will help complete our family and she can help me support you…”

“Yes, I understand. Please don’t worry about me…” I replied and plastered a sweet smile on my face and hugged him tightly in order to hide the pained look on my face and the tears that threaten to fall.

“I want to take a little nap before seeing uncle Edward…please enjoy your evening!”

“Ok…Remember, I love you,” Lucien whispered in my ear and kissed my forehead lovingly just like he has always done all those years when I was a kid. Now the parts of me that he has touched and kissed burn with a new throbbing heat. Lucien left the room and I collapse onto my bed.
