Chapter: 84. Building Collapse♛ Aurora: “Oh My God. I'm not even surprised! I told you from the start that I absolutely do not trust her at all!” Mia said in a displeased tone. I released a deep breath, recalling the severe number of times she had seriously wanted me to be careful with Bonnie. But I hadn't listened. I needed someone effective back then and Bonnie was exactly what I wanted. So I hadn't even thought about the consequences at all. I easily trusted her when she displayed her clean ways of handling situations and making my work a little easier for me. “Yeah, I remember when you were warned me about her,” I said, tracing a path along the pocket of my pants as the car drove past the bustling city of New York. “But you didn't listen. Now see.” “I did listen, Mia. I just couldn't let a good employee go just because you had a bad feeling about her.” I said down the line. “Well, the signs were from the start that she’s not someone to be trusted.” “If a lot of employers simply removed their workers j

Chapter: 83. Go After Her ♞ Adrian: Leon didn’t say a word. Nothing at all. He didn’t move either. Not even an inch. The only sign he’d even heard me was the slight widening of his eyes. For a moment, we just stared at each other. I ran my fingers through my thick dark hair, because the longer it took to say a word, the more the turmoil in my head swallowed me slowly. Because what on earth do I do? Most importantly, how do I tell Rory? I sighed, when would this space she needs be okay? I don't even know. Finally, Leon let out a slow breath and leaned back into the couch like everything I said were finally settling in. “Say something,” I muttered roughly, fighting back the urge to run a finger through my hair and tug it. He scrubbed a hand down his face. “You’re serious about this?” he raised a brow and asked, like he was hoping I would say it was all a joke. Honestly I wish it was. It wasn’t a question. I nodded once, and tight. “Jesus Christ, Adrian.” Leon dropped his head back aga

Chapter: 82. Warn A GirlChapter 82 Aurora: Her question was so sudden and completely random from the conversation we had been talking about, that I was caught off guard for a moment. Trish’s brows were squinted tightly as she waited for a response from me. After a quiet moment I finally answered with a shake of my head, “Work.” “Work?” She didn't look like she believed me but after a while she nodded, “Alright. I made dinner before falling asleep earlier. Have you eaten?” she asked, completely changing the topic, and I felt light hearted that she did, because I wanted to get my mind off the message. I shook my head and let out a breath. I had been so occupied that I didn't eat anything today. I doubt I would have even been able to eat anything with the way my stomach has been tied in knots since morning. “I haven't,” I answered, before asking, “What did you make?” I turned around and made my way down the hallway, before making a turn and walking over to the kitchen, with Trish trailing right behind me.

Chapter: 81. Scared♛ Aurora: “The simplest misunderstanding could crack even the strongest of relationships. At times it's just better to let things go than go round and round. Rough.” My heart dropped to my stomach when I read the first message. I staggered on my footsteps as I rushed out of my room, hitting my shoulders on the wall but hardly feeling any pain as I turned down the hallway and rushed towards Trish’s room. Before I could get there another message came in, and this time it stopped me dead in my tracks. “Did you ever try to find out the person behind the wheels? Not your accident. I mean, hit and run with your mom, or don't you think it’s important to seek justice for her dead poor soul?” The last sentence felt like a bucket of water had been splashed on my face, as it knocked me back to the image of my mother being rushed to the hospital with blood on her clothes, her face, her fingers. There was blood everywhere. My fingers gripped my phone tightly, trying to hold myself back to t

I had every intention of driving straight home, taking a long-ass shower, and figuring out what the hell I was going to do to make things right with Rory. But the next thing I knew, my hands had turned the wheel and my car rolled to a halt in front of Leon’s place. My phone buzzed in my pants, and I stepped out of the car, closing the door shut behind me before I brought the phone out and checked who was calling. I halted in my steps when I noticed it was Christian. I slid the answer button before pressing the phone to my ear, “What's it?” I asked the moment I answered. There was shuffling from the other end, before he finally spoke out, “I got in touch with the guy for the tracking.” I ran my fingers through my hair and released a deep breath before asking, “And what’s the update on it?” Christian didn't answer immediately, and after a long quiet moment he finally answered, “I'll text you the details in five minutes.” “Alri

And it was all because of him. To make it all worse, Lucy's attempt at planting seeds of doubts in my head had somehow worked. I couldn't think. My heart felt like it was being shredded into tiny pieces, and it tore me apart. I was so tired of all this. And despite all the love I had in my heart for him, it was a pity that he didn't trust our love so much to be able to completely be honest with me. What on earth could he be keeping to himself that wasn't worth me knowing? Nothing, absolutely nothing serious. The only ever thing that had tore me apart in my years of living was my parents' death, because they left me all alone. Second to that was my divorce with Adrian. And third, was the child I lost. There was nothing else he could say that could destroy me so much that it would break our very fragile relations

At the same time, Evelyn squealed softly like a high school teen, “Oh my God! that's so sweet.” They both stopped at their words and spared each other a glance, realizing how much they contrasted each other. “What do you mean by sweet?” Beth asked with a deep scowl on her face. “I should be asking you what you find disapproving about the situation,” Evelyn shook her head, “I promise I really get where your point is, and even more, I understand that your anger for Sophia is justified. But let’s give her a break, a little kiss never hurt anyone.” Beth shook her head and countered almost immediately, “It never hurt anyone, yeah. But can’t you fucking see Sophia is letting him in slowly. Did we really watch her go through pain all those years just so she could easily give in to his kisses on the neck this way?” Sophia groaned, thinking of a way to change the topic.

Chapter: 66. A Kiss“It’s not as bad as it looks,” Alex said calmly, trying to button up his suit, but the way he shifted his stance gave him away. She realized he was in pain—had been for a while now. Sophia’s eyes flicked back to his arm. “Take off your shirt.” His brows lifted slightly at the demand, but when she stepped closer, giving him a serious look, he sighed and obeyed. He pulled off the suit completely, and as soon as he did, a gasp left her lips, and her worry increased. His fingers went to his buttons, working them open, revealing smooth, taut skin beneath. Or rather, it should have been smooth. Instead, her eyes landed on the bandage wrapped around his lower abdomen. It was stained red, damp with fresh blood. Sophia inhaled sharply. “Alex.” He glanced away, as if not wanting to see the look on her face. “How long have you been bleeding like this?” Alex didn’t answer immediately. In fact, he didn’t know what to say, standing in front of her glare. “Since we got here,” he

Chapter: 65. BathroomAfter dinner, Adeline had suggested they watch a cartoon, specifically choosing the one she wanted, and somehow, she had ended up falling asleep in Alex's arms because she refused to be parted from him. Aiden had also fallen asleep on the couch, between Sophia and Alex, since they were all sitting on the big couch. Sophia glanced over at Alex and noticed his attention was on the TV. For someone she had never seen watching a movie before, he seemed too interested in the Peppa Pig episode playing. Her gaze dropped to Adeline, who had her head resting on her father’s chest, her hands wrapped around his neck. Sophia’s eyes trailed back to Alex's side profile. She pressed her lips into a thin line as a warm feeling filled her heart. She was happy he had spent time with Aiden and Adeline. Aiden was still finding his way around his father's presence, though. But it was a process, and she was certain he'd eventually come around after a while. Subconsciously, her gaze dropped a litt

Chapter: 64. Selective Hearing Despite Sophia’s earlier refusal, she ended up allowing Alex to drive her home. She couldn't bring herself to say anything after what he had said. The drive to her place remained completely silent, except for the occasional directions she had to give him. Finally, they arrived, and he drove through the gates of her house. The car slowed to a stop in the driveway, and Alex turned off the ignition. Sophia turned to him. “Are you coming in?” Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Shouldn’t I?” Her eyes flicked to his, and she pressed her lips together. A guilty feeling climbed up her throat as she realized how heartless it would be not to let him at least come inside to see Aiden and Adeline. Without another word, she simply picked up her purse and stepped out of the car, making her way toward the entrance. Alex took her silence as a ‘yes.’ As soon as he stepped out of the car, he clicked his tongue, his face twisting in pain. He shifted his suit aside and pressed a hand to

Chapter: 63. He's A FriendWhen Alex suggested taking her to meet Patricia, it didn't cross her mind that he meant literally. Not until she realized she was going with him. In his car. She let out a breath, trying hard not to turn her gaze to him. Her eyes peered through the tinted glass. She wondered why she had agreed to this—when did her heart start becoming soft this way? The car slowed down as the traffic light ahead turned red. Sophia exhaled, shifting a little in her seat as her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag. She could feel Alex’s presence beside her. He didn't even seem affected by the silence; one hand was on the steering wheel, his back was calmly rested against the chair, while his eyes remained on the road. Her gaze flickered to him slightly, and it was then she noticed how he was gripping the steering wheel, then loosening his hands around it. The action continued. “If you keep that up, I won't be able to simply ignore the fact that you're sneaking glances at me,” he suddenly sa

She stared at him, anger glinting through her usually soft eyes. Sophia let out a dry laugh and took another step back. The more she moved away, the more he felt the distance between them widen. How exactly was he supposed to make her understand that he couldn’t just sit back? He had tried—tried to keep his promise to her. But the moment he heard what was happening in the conference room, he simply couldn’t stay out of it. “I told you not to,” she repeated, perhaps urging him to say something. But he only watched her. After a moment, he let out a deep breath, ran a hand across his face, and admitted softly, “I couldn’t sit back. I need you to understand me, Sophia.” Sophia felt her throat tighten, and she turned silent. Then, shaking her head, she shoved aside any reasoning he might have had, choosing instead to act

Amora and Arden who were now seven years old, they sat down in the garden with Mabel as they played on the grass in the garden. Amora and Mabel's hair was packed into two ponytails, Amora had taken her father's black shiny hair, while Arden's hair was brown, falling to his forehead and covering it. Mabel on the other hand, had taken her mother's blonde hair, the kids played around together, under the loving gazes of their fathers who sat down on chairs facing the kids.

A road of white chairs was neatly arranged on either side of a grassy aisle, leading up to an elegant white archway adorned with delicate flowers of greenery. The soft staring of classical music filled the air. As the guests eagerly awaited the bride's arrival, Axel stood nervously at the end of the aisle, his heart racing as he prepared to see Mirabel for the first time in her wedding dress. Beside him stood a young boy who looked beyond stunning, with a calm aura around him, dressed in a miniature version of his father's tuxedo, standing proudly as one of the groomsmen. Stephen stood with Axel trying to claim his friend down, and beside him was Martin. And then, finally, they heard light footsteps as someone walked in, a young baby girl three years old, walked down the aisle with a small basket of flowers in her hand, her smile was so bright that the guest

Squinting my eyes and letting out a low groan, I stood up and walked out of the bathroom as I heard a gentle knock from outside. My eyes fell on Cassius as I opened the door "Good morning, Sir" he greeted and I nodded. "Xander and the others have arrived. They are waiting for you downstairs" Cassius added and I rose a brow at him. "The others?" I asked, confused. I don't remember the others talking about dropping by, only Xander and I had somewhere to go to today. "Yes, they are all here," he said. "I'll be with them in a few minutes" With that, I shut the door and walked over to the closet, picking out a bathrobe, memories of what transpired last night came rushing into my thoughts.

But it was not just the chill that caused the hairs on my arms to stand on end; it was an undeniable itch, a deep-seated linking clawing at the core of my being, as my second personality tingled to be let out. The sound of the wind was relieving but it also held a primal allure, whispering promises of hidden secrets, untamed desires waiting to be unleashed as darkness carved its existence into my soul, desperately trying to pull in my calm regal to bring out a dark aura.
