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!" She exclaimed not surprised anymore by the gesture. She didn't realize it but she was smiling and looking around. She felt overwhelmed, but this made her more determined to get her revenge. Even though she had the
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
It was the day of the auction, the moment she arrived, all eyes were on her. Her elegance was mesmerizing. When Cordelia saw Liam looking at her with interest, she subconsciously clenched her fists. If it weren't for the fact that she was surrounded by some esteemed guests and well-known people in the industry, she wouldn't have hesitated to put her in her place. She gulped the wine and excused herself. Kiara was busy with the other ladies she had befriended in the past few years.As soon as Cordelia left, Liam made his way towards Aurora. His lust for her increased the more he saw her. "Ms. Pierce!" He approached her. "I think you've outdone yourself today. I can say for sure that you are the most beautiful woman in the room today " She felt disgusted by him but had a smile on her face "Well, you sure are sweet Mr. Arden. Thank you for your compliment. But I'd like to repeat myself… Married men aren't my type" She said and turned her back to him. Liam clenched h
By the time they reached home, Cordelia was sure that the woman was Anastasia. "I'm telling you she's Anastasia. I saw it myself today. I had planned it perfectly and I had slipped the set in her dress. When mother was caught, she looked at me with a knowing gaze. I'm sure she's behind it, Liam. We have to do something to stop her, and then there's mother too. We have to do something to get her out" She rambled pacing around back and forth. When she looked at how calm and collected Liam was as if this matter wasn't his concern, she irrupted again "are you even listening to what I'm saying." She looked at him angrily. He sighed, "What do you want me to say? Even if she is Anastasia, so what? We already have everything under our name. She can't take it back from us. She also doesn't have any evidence from four years back. She can't do anything to us and as far as mother's concerned, you should have been smart enough to fool around with an enemy you don't even know yet. Stop fussing ar
