For Our Forbidden Love

Prologue

In a silent cold night, the wind rushes in the windows, with the glow of the moon shining in.
On the bed our body intertwined with each other, laying in tranquility. Suddenly, the once peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a sharp, piercing sound.

A cascade of crystal plunged towards the floor. The glasses hit the tiles with a resounding crash, splintering into countless shards that skittered across the room.

I hurriedly covered our body with the blanket, only slightly above our chest. In which one could clearly tell what lasciviousness things we had done.

My mother's voice followed.

"Violette?! Anong pinaggagawa niyo diyo?! Ha! Sa lahat lahat ng kasalanan ito? Vio, tiyo mo yan!"

The bottles of champagne and beer clashed.

"Mama I can explain! This, we- we're in love mama! Totoo to please wag mo-"

Across the room is her, holding the door.

I tried to explain my side but she just wouldn't listen. Turning a deaf ear to my words and cutting me off, disregarding my truths.

"Anong pinagsasabi mong totoo nararamdaman niyo sa isa't-isa?! Isang malaking kasalanan to Violette, this is taboo! Hinde pwede!"

She dashed towards me and pulled my hair upwards, which made the cover undo and expose my full naked body. I tried to hold my stance, taking my hair from her, and retaliate, finally i undid her hands.

Mama continued "Kung talagang gusto mo, mag iba ka na ng tahanan at wag ka nang babalik. Isa kang halimaw!"

I shifted my sight to Lance, but he was far too asleep. So I shooked his shoulders, tito, you have to wake I-

Soon my aunt followed, her gasped audible.

Now I'm sure. I fucked up. Literally.

That.

That was the last words I heard from my mom before I left. Cold and desolate, as if she'd never thought of me as her own daughter but a slut. Seducing my own uncle and sleeping with him.

Would you look at that, all the blame is centered at me.

Even when I didn't come home for days, she never called, in fact, none of my family and friends called.

My aunt, cousins, and grandparents, they didn't reach out to me. And did my so called 'best friend'.

Secrets that I've let out hoping they'd understand.

Haha. Who am I kidding?

I'm a sinner.

A sinner for loving you.

...

Lance Ramirez, my uncle and my first. while Yulius Zhao, my enemy and my last.
