Vicious: forbidden feelings

Alice Bukovskaya Steamy Stories

I never thought I could fall in love like this.… But fate decreed otherwise. Los Angeles is a city of splendor and luxury, but for me it has become a place of secret meetings and bitter tears. I am Riana Redison, the heiress of one of the richest families in the city. Our family is engaged in an irreconcilable struggle for influence and reputation with another influential dynasty, the Vanderbums. My parents decided long ago that my brother and I should marry into other noble families in order to strengthen our positions. But everything changed when I met Nicholas Vanderbaum. He is the charismatic and confident heir to the Vanderboom family. His smile, his look, his manners—everything about him excites my soul. I can't resist these feelings, even though I know that our love is forbidden. My parents are totally against our relationship. We have to hide our feelings from everyone.: In public, we portray hatred and rivalry, participate in social events, and meet with potential spouses chosen by our parents. But once we're alone— the mask falls off. Hot hugs, frank conversations and promises of eternal love... it's only in these moments that I feel truly happy. I live in constant fear that someone will find out about our feelings. Every day is a struggle between duty and heart. I'm afraid to imagine what would happen if my parents found out about my love for Nicholas. But I can't give up my feelings either. The secrets of both families threaten to come out, and then Nicholas and I will have to make a choice: continue to hide our feelings or challenge our parents and public opinion. The fate of our families and our own future depend on this decision. Can I keep my secret? Or will love be stronger than fear and duty? I do not know the answer yet.… But one thing is for sure: I can't live without Nicholas.
