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
It didn't take long for Kiara to be able to get out. When she reached home Cordelia was surprised as she didn't expect the case to be resolved so soon "Mother! How are you here?" She was confused because she had tried her best to get her out but she was told that it wasn't possible and she would be in for a long time. "They let me out. They investigated and found out it was a misunderstanding and they have the evidence that it was someone else" When she said this Cordelia's heart skipped a beat. She started panicking "Did they find out who it was?" Kiara tried recalling "Not that I know of!" Before she could say anything else Liam walked in and was stunned seeing Kiara "Well it's great that you are out" He said as soon as he grabbed his composure. They made their way to the breakfast table "The annual shareholder meeting will be held in a week, you'll have to be present there" He informed Cordelia nonchalantl
Liam had invited her to a high-end restaurant. He was set to impress the woman he had just met. Aurora walked in elegantly and sat in front of him. He was busy texting on his phone, when he noticed her sitting, he looked up and gave her a charming smile "I hope I didný make you wait Mr. Arden" She said politely. "Not at all. It's my honor to wait for such a beautiful lady and please call me Liam, Mr. Arden sounds too formal and distant." When she shook her head to deny it he spoke again "I insist" She sighed and smiled. "Alright, Liam it is" They looked through the menu for a while before deciding what to order. Once they were done, she didn't waste any more time "May I know the reason for this dinner Liam, I'm sure this isn't business-related" Her smile was seductive, blinding him for a minute. He was in a daze "You are right Aurora! I hope you don't mind me calling you Aurora" He smiled. "Not at all"
In a dark room inside a huge villa, a man lay, having lost the will to live long ago. It was just the hope, that he would get to see his daughter again one day, got him going. They said she was dead, but he knew she wasn't. She couldn't die so easily. He strongly believed in karma and believed that one day these people will have to pay back everything they had snatched so easily from them. The door to the room opened and someone walked in switching on the light. He didn't have to guess who it was. It was a routine now that Kiara would come and give him food twice a day, insult him and his daughter and leave him in the dark again unless she wanted him to work on a project. At first, he didn't agree to help them, but when they said they would allow him to visit her grave secretly, he reluctantly agreed. "Get up, stop brooding, and have your food." She sneered at him, to which he had become ignorant with time. "Come up with a new project by tomorrow and if you don't cooperate this time
Seeing her disappointment, he decided to tell her everything. "You don't have to worry about Mia coming back into our lives again. I've made sure she's got life imprisonment, so she doesn't get a chance to come back and ruin more lives, especially Nova's." He went silent for a while as if thinking bout something. When she looked at him with a questioning gaze he started talking again "I'm not her biological father" Her confusion grew more when he said that. "What do you mean?" He sighed, "I don't know who her father is. Mia claimed that I was the father, but I was sure that I wasn't and that she was lying. I didn't want to implicate the poor child during her pregnancy so I waited till she gave birth. When I help Nova for the first time, it didn't matter anymore. She was adorable, and at that moment I wanted to give her the world. Later, after putting Mia away for good, she confessed that Nova wasn't mine. How
