Chapter 1: A Love Meant to Last
When Daniel Moore fell in love with Ethan Carter, he thought it would last forever.
Ethan was everything Daniel had ever wanted—kind, ambitious, and effortlessly charming. Their relationship had been picture-perfect for years, from university days filled with stolen kisses to moving into their first apartment together.
But love was supposed to be simple.
And what Daniel felt now? Wasn’t simple at all.
Because somewhere along the way, he fell in love with someone else.
Someone forbidden.
Ethan’s father.
Chapter 2: The Man He Shouldn’t Want
Daniel first met Victor Carter at a family gathering.
Victor was everything Ethan wasn’t—older, refined, with a quiet intensity that made people listen when he spoke. A successful businessman, he carried himself with an effortless confidence, his graying hair only making him more distinguished.
Daniel had dismissed the attraction at first.
But as time passed, and as cracks began to form in his relationship with Ethan, he found himself drawn to Victor’s presence more than he should have been.
And the worst part?
Victor noticed.
Chapter 3: A Forbidden Moment
One evening, after yet another fight with Ethan, Daniel stepped outside to clear his mind.
He wasn’t expecting to find Victor on the patio, sipping whiskey, the glow of the city casting shadows across his sharp features.
“You look troubled,” Victor said, glancing at him.
Daniel hesitated before sitting beside him. “Ethan and I… we’re not in a good place.”
Victor exhaled slowly. “Love isn’t always easy.”
Daniel looked at him then, something raw in his gaze. “Did you ever fall in love with someone you weren’t supposed to?”
Victor’s hand tensed around his glass.
For a long moment, he said nothing.
Then, in a voice barely above a whisper—“Yes.”
And when their eyes met, the truth passed between them.
Undeniable. Unforgivable. Irresistible.
Chapter 4: The Breaking Point
They tried to fight it.
They really did.
But stolen glances turned into lingering touches.
Late-night conversations turned into something deeper.
Until one night, when Daniel could no longer resist, he kissed Victor.
And Victor kissed him back.
For the first time in years, Daniel felt alive.
But love built on secrets was never meant to last.
And when Ethan found out…
Everything came crashing down.
Chapter 5: A Love That Shouldn’t Exist
Ethan’s voice was shaking with rage and heartbreak.
“How could you?” he whispered, fists clenched. “With my father?”
Daniel couldn’t find the words.
Victor stepped forward, his expression unreadable. “Ethan—”
“Don’t,” Ethan snapped. “You’re my father. You were supposed to protect me. Not… not this.”
Silence stretched between them, heavy and unbearable.
Then Ethan turned to Daniel.
“I loved you,” he said, voice breaking. “I would have given you everything.”
Daniel’s chest ached. “I never meant to hurt you.”
Ethan laughed bitterly. “Then why does it feel like you just destroyed everything?”
And with that, Ethan walked away.
And Daniel was left standing in the wreckage of a love he could never take back.
Epilogue: A Love That Remains
Months passed.
Ethan didn’t forgive them. Maybe he never would.
But Daniel and Victor?
They didn’t regret it.
Because some love stories weren’t perfect.
Some weren’t even right.
But some… were worth everything.
And this?
This was one of them.
