Cordelia and Liam were waiting desperately for the moment. Only after meeting her will their restless heart settle down. The party had started and everyone was surprised by the grandeur.

"May I have your attention please?" Suddenly a loud voice from the microphone boomed around the big hall, grabbing everyone's attention. "Welcome everyone. Thank you for gracing us with your presence today. Today is a very special occasion for me and I'd like to share it with everyone present here." He walked down the stairs while talking and stood in front of a woman. "Well all my life I've had this false concept of love, but there was someone who set me straight and showed me what love actually is. The deep hate within me towards this world had disappeared when you walked in my life." Saying he went down on his knees Ms. Hailey Gabriel,

    "I understand where you are coming from Mr. Arden, but I can assure you that I'm not her sister. I've never had one as far as I remember. I've been born and brought up in X City and lived there all my life. I don't even remember meeting you at all" Aurora explained nonchalantly. "As for the private meeting, I'm sorry but I can't give you an appointment just for something that I can clarify here itself. I'm here for a short time and I'm already busy with a lot of other meetings." She said. "Now if you'll excuse me…" She said and left them standing speechless but her straightforward rejection. Liam couldn't help but feel attracted to her, all he could think of is how to charm her. If she isn't Anastasia then it wouldn't be difficult. Cordelia failed to see the lust in her husband's eyes. She was still conflicted but decided to let it go for now. If she wasn't Anastasia then she wasn't a threat. However, she still didn't want to take a chance so she calmed herself down till she

    After a while, the bid had already reached $25 million. Aurora was shocked and couldn't help but glare at Lucian. While Lucian and Hailey were fretting over the matter that Hades hadn't bid even once. Their plan was failing drastically and God knows, which jerk would win the bid. When the host was about to close the bid a man raised the bid again and this time the gap wasn't small "$50 Million" The crowd erupted in gasps. Liam and Cordelia clenched their fists and didn't bid anymore. No one knew who the man was but simply looked at him in shock. Lucian and Hailey gulped as their plan backfired and they looked at Hades who sat there calmly as if he didn't care. The host walked up to the man and asked his name and announced the winner. "Mr. John Taylor has won the chance to go on a date with the gorgeous Aurora." The crowd cheered. Aurora didn't even know how to react anymore. She sighed and went on the stage to greet the man. She subconsciously looked around to find someone but could

    When Liam and Cordelia reached home, Kiara was already waiting anxiously for them to give her the news about Anastasia. "You two are finally back! I was dying from curiosity" she exclaimed. "What happened? Is she who we think it is?" She couldn't help but blurt out the questions one by one. Cordelia sighed, "We don't know. She said she didn't know us. I tried to stir up a commotion so that she would react, and we could get at least some kind of a hint but it was no use" She said and recalled the incident. "What do you mean she didný know you? Is she really someone else? She looks so much like her." Kiara was confused by now. "We'll have to wait and see, that's all we can do now," Cordelia assured herself as well as her mother. "Do you think she lost her memories?" Kiara questioned them. "She was shot on her leg and around her chest mother. It's not possible to lose your memory this way" Liam said and rolled his eyes. He had considered this possibility too, but then he remembe

    When Aurora reached the office, her assistant immediately gave the schedule for the week. When she was done she started informing her about the meetings "Ms. Pierce, we received a call from Arden Enterprises. Mr. Arden wants to have a meeting to discuss a proposal." That grabbed her attention. 'He's fast! I thought he'll at least take some time' she thought. "No problem! Set up an appointment with him after two days." Noting the instructions her assistant left the room. She got immersed in her work when her phone buzzed. It was an unknown number. Not a lot of people had her private number, so it confused her. As soon as she picked up the call, she heard a kid crying "Hello?" She asked with her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Princess Aurora!" A loud crying sound called 'Nova!' She realized it was Nova and tensed up hearing her cry "What happened princess? Why are you crying?" She asked softly. "I want to meet you, but daddy said I cannot disturb you" She complained. "Oh, baby! You

    The trip to the amusement park was like a dream for all three of them. Hades and Aurora were overwhelmed, and couldn't help but think that if this was their family then this was the feeling they'd get to enjoy all their life. While Nova, for the first time felt that if she had a mother then it would be more exciting, but she didn't voice out her concerns in the rush of her excitement. Aurora felt overwhelmed and wished that her life was normal, that she wasn't burdened by some revenge and could have a family of her own too. The three of them were walking around laughing and enjoying and the people around them couldn't help but admire the family of three. "Daddy, I want an ice cream," Nova said and ran towards the ice cream counter. Both of them followed her and bought ice creams for themselves. "This is the best day of my life," Nova said suddenly while eating her ice cream. Both of them looked at her smiling

    The next morning Aurora felt fatigued due to the restless nights. Recently, she kept on dreaming about her and Hades, it was more like all her repressed memories and emotions were coming back to torment her. Even though they were some blissful memories, her reality now couldn't let her go back to it unless she took her revenge once and for all. She sighed and prepared herself for another meeting. This shareholder would be a little tough to handle. He was known for being a hooligan and having connections with the mafia. His son was a gangster too. She had to be careful whilst dealing with this man. "Mr. Black, it's good to finally meet you. I have heard a lot about you." She said politely. "I hope it's all good things, Ms. Pierce. I've been wanting to meet you too. The whole fashion industry has been in a rave to know you and now finally to meet you. I must say you are an exquisite beauty" He said, but he couldn't hide the evil glint in his eyes. "I'm flattered, Mr. Black. Thank you!

    When Aurora reached her office she was greeted by a beautiful sight. Her pristine office was now filled with bouquets of forget-me-not flowers. It took her by surprise, so she called for her assistant "Who sent these?" Her assistant seemed listless too "The delivery guy only said that it was for you. There was a note too, I've kept it on your desk, however, it has no name" Aurora waved her off and walked to her desk unhurriedly still taking in everything. As she reached her desk a note greeted herWhen you look back on the times we had together I hope you smile. These forget-me-nots are to remind you of our love and the memories that we've shared together. From,The one who's waiting patiently for you…"Hades!"

    Everything was going as she had planned so she was relaxed. She was busy with her work when she received a call "Ms. Pierce, the work is done. Mrs. Kimberly was given the medicines that you've asked for" The person informed. She smiled satisfactorily "You'll get your money, keep doing your job," She said and hung up. Kiara had gone for her regular checkups since she was suffering from high blood pressure. Unknowing to her, she was one step closer to her death now. She wouldn't have imagined having the same fate she had so meticulously planned for others once. Aurora had found out that Kiara had been giving her father poison, and she couldn't help but recall her sick father during her last days as Anastasia. She was so caught up in their schemes, that she didn't have a chance to save her father. The thought always made her regretful and her hatred for them increased more and more. The door to her office suddenly was pushed open and Lucian strolled in leisurely inside. She

    Anastasia's POV-"Hades! Get your boys to come down soon, we are getting late for Nova's graduation" I yelled at my husband. Yes, you guessed it right, we have two boys, twins- Lucian and Lucius, complete brats. If it weren't for the fact that they were scared of Hades, I wouldn't have been able to manage those two. Nova is graduated today and I can't help but feel, how time flew by so quickly. Hades and I still manage our companies and prepare Nova to take over mine. I still remember how those had proposed to me, it still brings extreme joy to my heart. Hades finally did go for a cliché by going down on his knees and asking me to marry him. The most surprising part would be the whole ordeal with Nova. The sweet child went on her knees too and give me a stack of papers asking me to be her mother. Those were her adoption papers. I couldn't have been happier that day. "Mom, I can't find my socks" I heard Lucian yell from his room. I didn't even step forward when an

    Even through her struggle, he managed to tie both her hands to the bedpost. She wriggled and screamed for him to leave her, but he didn't bat an eye. He was enjoying this. When her yells became too out of control, he gagged her with a cloth. "You need to relax darling, how are we going to enjoy this if you keep being a brat." He leaned forwards and wiped her tears, caressing her cheeks. "So beautiful!" She could see the admiration along with lust in his eyes. He pressed himself on her, making her cry out more. "No one can save you this time Ana, not even Hades. You are all mine now. I won't allow anyone to be an obstacle and if they wish to be, then they will end up like Cordelia too" His grin sent chills down her spine. She looked at him with wide eyes, surprised at what he said. 'Did he kill her?' Looking how he had all her attention "You are right darling! I killed her, along with that unborn child." She w

    They reached the place after a while, she was still feeling anxious to be alone with him. When they entered the place, she immediately recalled her childhood. She tried to mask her sadness but he already noticed it. "Come on, Let's get you settled inside." She hesitantly walked inside, not knowing what to do anymore. She could only sweet-talk her way out of this situation. "Do you know why I have brought you here darling?" She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at his question and smiled instead "I believe, my surprise is due" He chuckled and sat beside her, giving her a file. She already knew what it was but feigned innocence. "Here!" She read the contents in the file and this time didn't hold back from rolling her eyes "These are the shares your wife transferred you. How is it a surprise for me" She kept the file on the table and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. These documents were fake, but he didn't h

    Aurora had to stay up late at her office, to finish up some pending work. Since it was past work time everyone had almost left. "Ms. Pierce, do you need anything else?" Her assistant asked "No! I've got it. You can leave for the day" She smiled gratefully and her focus immediately went back on the work at hand. After a while her phone rang, breaking her focus "Baby girl, the lawyer just called. The documents had been successfully changed and you have all the shares in your hand now. Liam doesn't know about it. He thinks, Cordelia signed away everything to him and yes, the lawyer has been paid. He won't open his mouth." She leaned back with a winning smirk on her face. "Thank you, Lucian! I'll take it from here.""Wait! Are you still working? Why aren't you home yet?" He asked worriedly."I had some urgent matters to deal with, it's almost done. I'll in some time" She said while reading her files again. He sighed as he was used to her working overtime "Fine! Call me if

    Liam woke up with a pounding headache and tried to adjust his eyes to the light in the room. He looked around to see an unfamiliar house 'Did I hook up last night?' He thought at first, but seeing that nothing was amiss he disregarded that possibility. "You're awake!" He turned when he heard a familiar voice was dumbfounded 'I spent the night with her!' His eyes widened and tried to recollect what had happened. "Good morning! Here's the medicine and there's the bathroom. Freshen up and have breakfast. My assistant is here if you need anything. I got to go." She said nonchalantly and walked out. By the time he regained his senses, she was already gone. 'What happened?' He was confused when his phone rang aggravating his headache even more. He took the medicine first and then answered the call "Liam!" He got irritated "What is it, Cordelia?" She gulped, "You need to come home. I have something to say to you. It

    That evening Aurora was at home, busy designing. This had become her way to relax her nerves after a tiring day. She was fixated on it when her doorbell rang. She walked towards it confused and checked the time.' It's dinner time, Who would be here at this time.' She thought but opened the door anyway. Hades stood leaning to the wall with a bag of takeout in his hand. She shook her head and smiled at the man in front of her. "I'm sure, you haven't had your dinner yet" She broke the silence and walked inside. She took the bag from his hand "Ah! My savior!" She said dramatically and went to prepare the dinner table. "You are still so careless! When will you start taking care of yourself?" He asked exasperatedly. She placed her arms around his neck and he instinctively held her waist and pulled her close "If I start doing that, then why would I need you" She said and pecked his lips. His lips curved into a smile

    After a few days, Liam had started getting restless. However, he didn't know how to approach the matter with Cordelia at a time like this so he decided to give her time. He knew she had asked his lawyers to prepare the documents. That day he decided to pay Aurora a visit, so he went to her company. When he reached there, her assistant asked him to wait as she was in a meeting. He waited there patiently for an hour, thinking that it was his fault for not informing or taking a prior appointment. After an hour her office door opening and he saw Hades walking out and Aurora tailing behind him. Hades turned around and pecked her lips bidding her goodbye. Liam's frustration at this couldn't be controlled. His nostrils flared and his jaw clenched at the scene that unfolded in front of him. Hades walked away and it seemed like she didn't notice him standing there. After a few minutes, her assistant came and asked Lia

    Liam came out of the bathroom and found her sitting in a daze "We should head back tomorrow. I have a few important things to take care of urgently" She was about to acknowledge and agree with him when her phone rang "Hello?" She said without checking the caller ID "Mrs. Arden, it's your mother…she...She's dead" Cordelia was surprised by the news and she felt incredulous. "How? What happened? She was fine when we left" uncontrollable tears came out of her eyes. Liam looked at her with confusion and stood beside her. "The doctor said she suffered a cardiac arrest" A hand flew up to her mouth and she sobbed uncontrollably. "Cordelia, What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" He couldn't understand what was going on. "Liam, we need to go back now. It's mom! She's dead." One could see the surprise in his eyes, however, the sudden turn of events made him anxious 'Urgh! I had finally manipulated this stupid woman to give me everything and I was so close to getting it. That old ha

    When Liam came back to their room, he saw Cordelia waiting for him. He ignored her and walked towards the bathroom. However, before he could enter he heard her calling him. He looked at her annoyed but didn't say anything, "You wanted me to prove to you that I loved you right? I've called my lawyer and asked him to prepare the share transfer documents. I don't care if I have anything or not, all I want is you to be with me, Liam. Promise me that you won't leave me" She asked, tears falling through her eyes. She looked defeated and tired, if it was someone else then they would have found her pitiful. Liam was happy but his face was brimming with apathy. He scoffed "Stop fooling me Cordelia, I won't believe you till I see those papers signed by you in my hands. I won't believe your words, for all I know you could just be trying to coax me to not divorce you " He turned but she stopped him again"No, these aren't just empty words.
