They Cried After I Let Them Have Their Forbidden Affair Novel – After ten years together with my fiancé, our long marathon of love was finally going to end tomorrow. Everyone said I was blessed, that I was marrying a man who loved me more than his own life. The night before the wedding, according to tradition, he and I could not see each other.
But when he said he missed me, I asked a friend to cover for me at my bachelorette night and slipped out to the house we bought for our married life. Climbing along the vines outside the window and finally reaching the second floor, I planned to give him a surprise. But just as I steadied myself, a mix of a man’s and a woman’s moans drifted out from inside. Two bodies were tangled on the bed. One was my fiancé, Declan Reeves.
The other was my sister, Elena Hartwell. So they had a surprise for me as well. … The suffocating scent of lust in the room blurred my vision from the window. When the night breeze brushed across my face, cold and sharp, I realized I had already been crying. My fingers tightened around the window frame until they turned pale, yet I still didn’t have the courage to push it open and confront them.
One was the fiancé I had loved for ten years, the man I was supposed to marry tomorrow. The other was the younger sister I had protected since childhood. Seeing the two of them lying together on that bed shattered my world completely. Declan’s face was filled with the desire I knew so well. In the more than three thousand nights we had shared over the past decade, I knew exactly how he would hold me tightly when he lost control, whispering my name like I was his entire world.
But now the name falling from his lips was Elena. And on his face, mixed with pleasure, was unmistakable pain. Elena was crying with him. “Dec, starting tomorrow, you’ll become my brother-in-law. Let us be lovers just this one last night.” Declan lowered his eyes in despair, kissing the corner of her lips again and again with aching tenderness. “I can’t let you go, Lena. Why wasn’t I the one who met you first? Then we could have stayed together for the rest of our lives.” “Idiot.” Elena pressed her mouth to his. “If not for Sienna, I would’ve never met you.
I already feel like the luckiest person in the world.” “And we love each other, our bodies and hearts intertwined through countless nights. Every day I feared Sienna would find out. She has protected me since I was little. I can’t hurt her.” “After your wedding, I’ll apply to study abroad. I’ll disappear forever, Dec. I only have one small request. Please don’t forget me.” Declan’s eyes turned red. He raised his hand and swore solemnly, “I, Declan Reeves, will never forget Elena Hartwell.
Not in this lifetime.” The sheets I had carefully chosen were crushed beneath their bodies, creased and stained with dark smears. I forced my eyes wide open, refusing to blink, making myself watch. I knew exactly how seriously Declan treated his promises. When we first started dating, I had terrible insecurities. At the same time, his company—Reeves Venture Holdings—was in a critical early stage, and he didn’t contact me for three days.
When we finally met again, I couldn’t hold back my tears. He had been devastated, wiping my face gently, swearing that as long as I was awake, he would report his whereabouts to me every hour to give me the sense of security I needed. During the next ten years, he never once missed a single check-in. Even if we were under the same roof, if he wasn’t within my line of sight, he would still message me.
When Elena found out, she looked envious. “When I start dating someday, I want a boyfriend just like Declan.” My friends also said that integrity was a man’s greatest virtue. Back then, I had felt proud.
