1. Losing her virginity!
Manhatten,
Alpha Damien's Mansion,
“The ivory vase should go in the drawing room, it should contain lavender flowers. The metal vase with tulips below Alpha's portrait in the drawing room, and the azure urn vase on the table by the side of his bedroom door with black roses.
The golden woman sculpture at the staircase side. The paintings bought in auctions should be hung in the drawing-room…. And, hmm, everything looks fine." Aurora put a right tick at the last pointer in the checklist she was holding as she examined the mansion carefully with her tired eyes.
"So, it's all done, right?" One of the servants who was helping her set the huge abode as per the Alpha's demands asked her, to which she nodded in agreement, and they shared a victorious smile.
Well, they have all been working tirelessly for seven days as their Alpha, Damien Hunter, would be arriving in three days. Everything has to be ready by then.
Aurora had been busy throughout the day and working without any break, yet the white knee length dress she wore made her look gorgeous, though it was slightly dirty from the hem. It was hugging her body perfectly and her messy hair that became messy due to non stop work suited her attire. Her coworkers grinned at her softly as they admired her wary smile.
Her hair was kohl-black and it flowed over her shoulders. She had honey sweet lips. They were lilac soft. Her eyebrows were slender and eyelashes velvety and thick. She had sea-nymph ears and a dainty nose. Aurora was loved for her bubbly outlook and warm smile that she always wore. With an hourglass figure, and rapture blue eyes, she made everyone's heart flutter whenever they set their gazes on her.
"The menu for the party looks fine. Not to forget the wine list!" She directed to the senior chef who was also standing beside her with other servants.
The chefs were from Korea from Alpha Chriswoo's pack, Xiao. They were called for this grand party Alpha Damien was organizing to celebrate his success. Although he is a heartthrob bachelor, he is the CEO of 'Hunter Enterprises' a billion dollar company that he built on his own, from a young age. And just a few days ago, Alpha signed a mind blowing deal which is said to be bringing the Alpha's company with millions of dollars of profit that has never been earned till now.
"Yes, Ms. Collins, it is taken care of. The wine is coming from the alpha's favorite supplier. Rest assured." Her reverie was broken by the senior chef.
Having come back to the present, she passed them a grin of a thousand volts, expressing her excitement toward their hard work and said, "Glad to hear that. I think we are free to go back to our chambers and catch some breath of relief! Let's meet at the dining table then." They greeted each other with wise smiles and warm pats on the back and other informal ways of expressing their exhaustion and left for their particular chambers in the servants quarter while Aurora wended her way to her room.
She was given a comfy nice room which was close to Alpha Damein's.
She had just opened the door of her room when she suddenly remembered her last encounter with Alpha Damien before he was leaving for Paris.
Working as a housekeeper for the ever so desired, 28 years old Damien Hunter, the alpha of Black Spear Pack, one of the most powerful packs in the world, for the past 3 years has been a pride for her until a month ago— when she made the awful mistake of giving herself to him!
Aah... She should never have!!!
A month ago when Alpha Damien had come back from Geneva from a business trip, he had looked tired and weary.
The day was finely bright and Aurora was helping him in his bedroom.
"I am ready to leave her, Aura. It's over now as I am honestly done with her. She always wants to get physical with me and envies any woman I encounter. Her insecurities are the cause behind this decision of mine." Alpha Damien had shared with her about his girlfriend who he was in live-in-relationship with for several weeks.
His mate died two months after they met. She had some serious illness that got the better of her. From what Aura has heard, Alpha Damien loved her more than his own life and her death left him heartbroken and heartless at the same time. It had happened when he was twenty years old and after that he never took a serious interest in any other woman.
"I am thinking of sending her an imported diamond bracelet as a consolation gift. Do you think that'll convince her to leave me, Aura??" He had asked her when she was busy helping him with his coat.
Honestly she had wanted to dance like crazy as she was happy with this news. She's always had a crush on Alpha Damien but his long list of girlfriends and unnamed relationships held her back. Also the fact that she was just an orphan housekeeper at his house.
But that day she was amused since Alpha was going to break his not-so-beautiful relationship with his girlfriend, Ginny Williams.
She was on cloud nine!!!
"Umm I feel like she would definitely understand you and would accept the breakup, Alpha." She replied to him.
He narrowed his eyes, looked suspiciously at her and asked, "Why do you think so? And what makes you think that Ginny is a nice woman who would easily let her alpha lover go? That Alpha lover who is gaining more and more popularity day by day in business land, also because of whom she can grow even famous in the modelling industry."
Ginny was a model. She was not famous until she caught alpha's eyes, and after they came out as a couple, her popularity in the industry increased and everyone started recognizing her. Now every second company wanted to work with Ginny Williams. It has happened only because of alpha. One can see the consequences of leaving alpha would not only bring her a downfall but also a controversial end in the glamour world.
"I think so because there's no way a faulty relationship will survive when one of the two partners is not happy with it. It will gradually demolish." Aura had reasoned, he still smiled unconvinced.
So to convince him, she added, "If that doesn't sound appealing then should I say that you're an alpha and nobody can disagree with your orders! Eventually Ms. Williams will have to take it as well."
"Perhaps you're right, Aura." He'd said with a grin and smirked at her, intending to say that she had learnt quite a lot about him in these three years.
That's kind of true, she knew everything about him. From what he likes to his dislikes— She knew them all, given that she worked more like his personal assistant than the Housekeeper of his house in the beginning days of her job.
She was busy buttoning his coat whereas he kept on smirking. Aurora felt her cheeks going all red as he was staring continuously at her and she found it next to impossible to breathe as the atmosphere was getting all hot— Just like him!
Once she was done, she had quickly turned around to get him his cell phone when she realized that he held her wrist and the next thing he did was pull her with a force that she crashed with his well built chest. He slid his right hand under her waist and pulled her hell close to him, that her chest was a clear view to his lusty eyes.
He looked at Aurora's curves as her breaths were fast and unevenly deep. Her chest was going up and down in a rhythm making him smile at the look of it. His touch was a torture too as it was affecting her badly.
She had lowered her gaze as she was feeling uncomfortable with his fixed eyes on her, and kept her hands resting on his chest.
Sensing her uneasiness, he closed his eyes and joined their foreheads together whilst inhaling Aurora's scent slowly yet sexily!
They kept standing in that position for a long time. Neither of them spoke as they were busy feeling each other as much as they could. This was not the first time that they were sharing such a position yet it was rare. Hence, they stood there silently in each other's arms. She believed she was not the only one yearning for his attention!
"Be honest with me, Aura," He broke the silence by calling her by the nickname Aura. No one used to call her Aura except for her parents. And after their Demise, It is only Alpha Damien who addresses her with the nickname.
"Never have you ever felt anything for me?, I mean, it's... It's been three years since you're here with me living under the same roof and you've always seen me with infinite girls. I have always been the center of attention... And girls just go crazy in my presence. No matter where we are, they just want me. "
He had taken a pause, his eyes still closed, "Despite all these, don't you feel anything toward me— like anything? You know me like nobody knows. Even better than my parents. So, don't you ever feel like being with Me?" He had asked, making her skin freeze.
Aura very well perceived what he meant, but she just knew one thing that she was just his housekeeper. A mere housekeeper. And there was nothing more than gratification in her heart for him.
How could she forget how he had helped her after her parents' death! He took her in when the entire world turned its back on her since she was a human. Her parents belonged to the omega cast. Her father was a driver and mother a maid in former alpha's (Damien's father) house. It was an unfortunate evening when both her parents died while saving former alpha from a fatal attack that happened on him in his room. He was attempted to be killed by some rivals but her parents came to save him and took his death upon themselves.
Aura was in college when she got the news as Alpha Hunter had sent his beta for her. She had expected some words of condolences from the former alpha with regard to her parents' death alas he only announced that he would send her away to some other alpha's house.
However, Alpha's son, Damien Hunter interrupted his decision and brought her to his house. It was only alpha Damien who responded to her tears and sobs and took her inside his mansion not only giving her a roof but also a job that she could possibly do then— housekeeping.
He has really helped her so much. After all that he has done for Aurora, how could she expect more? Above all she was a mere human and he an alpha. There's no match at all.
"Aura, where are you lost?" He brought her back to the real world by pressing his palm on her back.
"Yeah?" His eyes had an urge. An urge to know her answer.
"Uhh Alpha, I guess you should get going or else Miss. Ginny will never let you go." Aurora said to divert his mind as there was no answer to his questions.
She would be the happiest girl in the world, but it's impossible. He deserves a stronger and better woman for a mate and not someone like her, a weak and helpless human girl who relies on him for her survival. He deserves a strong she-wolf. She thought.
"Ohh right, I should get going." She sucked a breath of relief as she was successful in diverting his mind.
He let go off her waist and took his cell phone which had 28 missed calls from his girlfriend.
"I am going, Aura, just pray for the good. " He stated and left the place with his smell everywhere while Aura left his lavish bedroom and walked towards hers.
Alpha Damien is a billionaire. He owns properties in various parts of the world— and is a silent but ruthless playboy. It's not like he plays with girls. But his personality does. It leaves no option for them but to end up in his bed. And she was certain he would find a new girl in no time.
But she really didn't want him to get a new girl as it was hard to witness him bring a new girl into his bedroom for— let's not get there!
She doesn't mind working as his housekeeper, it's just that she couldn't stop herself from falling more and more for him. He is insanely handsome.
Alas she was bound to her principles. She was aware he wanted her, however when he'd realize that he's got enough of her then he'd leave her and she couldn't risk that!!!
She felt so lonely. So isolated.
She couldn't go away nor could she get closer with him.
Tears made their way down her eyes and to her cheeks. Aurora broke down crying near the edge of the bed.
She felt lonely. She needed something to fill her life with love. She kept crying her heart out in the form of tears.
Aurora was busy pouring her emotions in the form of tears when, "Aura!" She heard Alpha's voice.
When she turned her head to the source then she found him standing at her doorstep
"A-alpha, I.. I didn't realize that you were home " Aura stuttered, wiping her face while standing straight as he walked towards her.
The evening had dawned, she was so much into crying over her empty life that she didn't realize when afternoon transpired into evening.
" Why......... Are you crying? " He asked as his hands made their way to her waist. His favourite place.
"It's noth—"
"Talk to me." He ordered. "I ought to know as your Alpha. What's wrong?" He asked, caressing her waist with his fingers firmly.
"You can tell me, Aura." He assured her.
" I... I just... Felt lonely, " Aurora told him and lowered her gaze.
It was him why she felt like that but she couldn't blame him.
"Ohh," He spoke. "I am a fool, I should've noticed." He uttered, staring deep in her eyes.
"Your eyes are sparkling, Aura. You're... you're just beautiful. " He claimed and latched their lips.
Ohh... Shitt!!
The Alpha was kissing HER!
He nibbled on her lower lip and kissed her gently. She didn't realize when she just started responding to his kiss even though it was her first time.
Aurora was spelled by his kissing skills. Indeed he was a good and experienced kisser... ohh!!!
And when he gained her response he deepened the kiss and began to ravish her mouth devotedly. His hands made their way to her chest as he pleasantly squeezed her breasts. It was roaming all over her body. Everywhere.
He then partially broke the kiss and said to her in his husky voice, "I can't stop myself, Aura. If you're uncomfortable then stop me." He released Aurora's mouth and attacked her neck.
She was loving this feeling. It was sweet and tempting. Not wanting to get detached from it, Aurora quickly said, "Please, Don't stop!"
She has tried to avoid getting attracted to him, maybe this would help her with her burning heart and tickling feelings. She always wished to know what makes all women die to sleep with him!
When he got a green signal from her, he picked her up in his arms, in a bridal style, and walked to his room. Reaching to the bed he placed Aurora down and came on top.
Next thing that happened was that the room was filled with her moans as he pulled their clothes off and made love to her like there was no end.
He was ravishing and exploring every part of Aura's body, making love to each cell on her frame. He had filled her whole body with love bites and hickeys. With that he had marked her his for eternity.
He came down off her and laid beside, panting. He kissed Aurora's forehead and said, "You're beautiful, Aura." She shied to his compliment and buried her face into the pillow. Looked as if he again sensed her uneasiness as he answered it with a smile. Damien came closer to cuddle her. She had gasped at his move but he gave an assuring smile, and like that they had called it a night.
(Phone ringing)
The loud noise of Aurora's phone's ringing snapped her back to reality. She blinked her eyes as she came back from the flashback and gulped her saliva. Gladly she was only re-watching it in her head.
"I don't know how I am going to face him after that incident." Aurora thought to herself and again resumed her work as her heart kept beating strongly over the thoughts of him.
Tbc…
2. First ignored... then adored! "Good night, Aurora. See you tomorrow." One of her co-workers waved at her, going towards her quarter. They just finished their dinner and discussed all the important stuff that needed attention. Finally when she retired to her room, Aurora recalled their second Encounter that transpired the following morning post her and alpha's make out. He had asked her to bring coffee for him in his room, and she instantly had it presented before him. "Aurora, I am throwing a party next month to celebrate the success of my company and I want you to set up everything in the house beforehand. I hope that's clear to you." Aura's eyebrows had shrunk realizing that he addressed her with her full name. That was so unlikely of him as he never… NEVER ever called her anything besides Aura. " Y-yes Alpha, I will make sure it's done in the best way." She replied, forcing a smile, eagerly waiting for him to say anything about last night. Just anything. "I hope so
3. The alpha knows how to seduce his housekeeper! "It's… it's n-not like that." Her eyes eventually lowered while her palms began to sweat. When he had the knowledge of the truth then why call her ? It might be a game for him, for her it's a torture. She hated it honestly. "It is definitely like that. You are also hurt because I never spoke to you after that night." he made her look at him, her mouth parting and closing, as she stood confused about what to say. No.. No.. Stay collected, Aurora! You need to be calm and not let his words affect me. She thought. "Sorry, I don't know what you are trying to imply, Alpha?" Aurora breathed, nibbling the inside of her right cheek. "What?" Looking at her in disbelief, he clutched her elbow. "You mean to say you don't know what I am saying. Is it like that, Aura?" He raised his left eyebrow, staring at her with a tough gaze. She swore her feet were trembling and knees wiggled. Aurora wanted to get away from him and run far away fro
4. She is.... Pregnant!!!!!!!! Next morning, The rays of the early sunrise peeked through the opened window thus breaking Aurora's peaceful sleep. She woke up only to find the side of her bed empty, indicating that he had left. Aura quickly got up from his bed with the sheet wrapped around her figure and made her way to the washroom. Having quickly dressed up she exited his master bedroom for she didn't wish the other workers of the house to see her in Alpha Damien's bedroom like that— naked and wrapped in his blanket, smelling of him. Only if he had left her clothes in one piece, she would have worn them. But no, the crazy alpha had to tear it off including her bra and panties. The evening arrived sooner than expected. The whole afternoon she was busy instructing the servants, staff, and chefs about the party while Beta Brian, also Damien's friend, took over the remaining responsibilities. Aura didn't see Alpha Damien for the whole day and that really made her feel bad. She mi
5. Caring for her “How many meetings are due, Brian?” Inquired Alpha Damien. He was sitting in his cabin, his head resting back in the chair as he held his cell phone across from ear. “Damien, there is one more meeting at 3.00, later you have a conference call to attend with the alpha of the Australian pack and then the party in the evening.” He answered, making Alpha Damien sigh. Finally, he was about to get done for the day. “Okay then, thanks. I can’t wait for the day to end soon." He was tired, he has been working continuously for two days. He could not even get a chance to sit down and have a cup of coffee. He was about to cut the call that he recalled Aura, his sweet lovely housekeeper cum his secret crush. Damien imagined her coming to him with a cup of coffee which caused him to yell at the phone, “Dude,” he was feeling shy because he was going to ask about Aura to his mischievous beta cum best friend who has always teased alpha Damien with her name as he urged him to a
6. Dressing for him."I'm absolutely fine, Madam Martha." Smiling at the motherly figure sitting next to her, Aurora squeezed her hand."Oh Aura, you'll be the death of me someday." She expressed hurt."I am sorry.""No sorry as I am really disappointed in you. Why don't you take care of yourself?""I do... It's just that I, " I am pregnant which is why I am like this. She wanted to add but halted before it."That you took inadequate stress about the party." Aurora couldn't help but hum and discern at their hands.Madam Martha loved her like a daughter, AuroraI couldn't tell her that the vomit and exhaustion were the outcomes of pregnancy. Damien was the father so she wished him to know about it first.He was on call when she entered the mansion, talking to beta Brian. She had heard beta mention her name to Alpha. That gave her a feeling he might have asked about her.Gosh, why does he have to be so caring! Aurora sighed
7. Who's asked you to dress like a sl*t, Aurora!!! Aurora’s POV Nervously with a thumping heart, I was walking toward the main hall where the loud noise of the music besides the laughter and chattering of the guests were coming. I saw the place filled with people I have seen in magazines and ‘Daily wolves’ newspaper that writes about all the famous wolf celebrities as well as models. I was amazed to see Mr. James Wilbert, the well-known actor who gave a blockbuster movie, Howl. I had a crush on him when I was in school. I used to collect his pictures and articles from the newspaper. However today, he doesn’t look more handsome than alpha Damien. My eyes were looking for him as I quietly, with small steps, moved further. There by the side of the staircase was standing the famous model, Skyla. She is someone who made me cry for endless nights as she was the girlfriend to Alpha Damien some months ago. Their articles and pictures were too much to look at, and for a time being I had a f
8. The alpha only used her!Aurora's POV"Who invited you to the party ha!"Those hateful words showered intolerable lashes of humiliation and regret on me."It's my party damn it, not any slut club that you have dressed up like this- like a SLUT!"I still cannot forget the look in his eyes. They were dark, flaming an aggressive glow which burned my feelings into ashes."I hate this dress on you, Aurora. I just fucking hate it!"The twisting of his lips delineated the disgust in his heart. The worried bottom lip seemed like he was chewing on a bone of abhorrence that I might have put into his mouth."Leave before I do something crazy, Aurora."The alarm of his tone showed his patience. He didn't want to hurt me and so asked me to leave from his sight so that he didn't commit any regretful mistake.I dawned on him true sickness by entering his party when I was uninvited.But.... I thought I was permitted sin
9. He loves babies. What?Having stormed annoyingly to her room she slammed the door behind her. All that happened in the kitchen was replaying in her head.His touches made her ill. She felt disgusted. It disgusts her when any other men touch her, Aurora just feels like killing them.The males in the wolf's dimension are always horny and aggressive. They want females for sex like a kid desires a toy.And Peter Dursley, there are no decent words in the dictionary that one can use for him! He's a bloody womaniser… bigger than alpha Damien.Aurora bit her tongue, coz there's no one as heartless as alpha Damien.But Peter… he was the worst and on the lowest position in her perspective.He thought he could manipulate her. He thought he would succeed in it too. Never!! There's no way anyone would ever succeed in doing that.Well Aura knows no one can compete with Alpha Damien as he is one of his kind. She always wished
127. The Goodbye (last chapter) Eight months later, Under the cool shadow of blooming cherry blossom trees, Aura sat on a mat as she tossed grapes in her mouth. She enjoyed the burbling of shimmery water in the nearby pond. With birds chiming gaily, gazelles roaming freely, colorful butterflies and dragonflies fluttering excitedly in the air, and a colony of rabbits and squirrels jumping and running around them, she fancied the sight of her eight months old daughter crawling on the soft bed of grasses and small flowers alongside their new family member, Venice. He was a month old baby dog Brian bought for Anna. A new friend whom she could play and grow up with. Initially Venice was scared in his new house as he was bought from the owner of his mother. The man could not afford to raise three golden retriever babies hence he gave them away. When Brian was offered one, he instantly accepted him for he was going to be Anna's first ever friend. "Anna, no! Come back here at once." Aur
126. Is Damien going to die?! "Damien, a-are you okay?" It was a silly question, but she was not really in her senses. His blood and reducing breaths took away her patience and whatever patience she had had, now turned into pain. Pure, raw, and escalating pain. Behind her back, Peter laughed, "You didn't come here, Alpha Damien, I summoned you, so I could kill you with my own hands. It would have been no fun to fuck your already fucked up wh*re or kill your vulnerable daughter who is anyways helpless without her mother. The worst I could do to you is kill you… and leave your mate and daughter miserable for the rest of their lives. Your death during the best phase of your life is the biggest and filthiest punishment you could get. You wouldn't be there to see your daughter grow up. Your wh*re will be available for other powerful males, not including that she would move on with another wealthy man after your demise, after some months of weeping in your memory. Your pack will be overt
125. You didn't come here. You were summoned, Alpha Damien. "Da-damien," The one and only name she's been chanting since her abduction quivered on the tip of her tongue. The fog of fear subsided, leaving her with ever so clear vision. She restlessly looked behind her back only to melt on the ground and take a sigh of relief, "Y-you came. You finally came to save us, Damien." Aura's heart throbbed in her chest for her husband was here in his ever so intense glory. There was a bow in his arms and a holder of an arrow put around his left shoulder, as it hung slantingly, resting on his back. His eyes glowed no less than enraged sun as his tightly set jaw twisted in anger.Many more footsteps thudded around her. She saw a troop of armed men coming inside through the front. It was her husband's army. All dressed up in black with holsters put on, hands carrying huge guns and a look of vengeance on their faces. Alongside their Alpha, they shot the enemy's army dead. She could not take her
124. Don't hurt my daughter in the name of revenge! A wheezing wind rolled over, making Aura's teeth clutter. She stared down in the middle of the room on the ground at her screaming daughter and forgot it was necessary to breathe for survival. That moment, all that she saw was Anna throwing her legs and arms in the air. She was dressed in a pink thin frock that shifted under her little back, leaving her little legs exposed to the cool ground. She was not wearing her socks either. "Don't hurt her, bastard." Aura banged her fists on Peter's chest and bicep. She used all her strength to hit him but the devil didn't budge for a second. He just cracked up louder and held her by her elbow, refraining her from going to her daughter. "You see that, Aurora? You see that? That's what real weakness looks like." He pointed at her daughter and then towards the dogs around her. They were desperately breathing, the noise invading Aura's ears like a warning buzz. "I want you to see it w
123. Damien, where are you? Aura's POV "Damien, where are you?! I am scared and cold. Please… come soon." I looked around the room and crawled closer to the bed, shrinking away in the gap between the bedside table and bed. My knees were against my chest as I cowered away from the menacing door glaring back at me in the dark. I should have listened to my heart. I should have paid attention to the crumpling feeling in my chest. I should have convinced Damien to stay back in the mansion. Only if I had not been swept away by Damien's advances, we would have been safe under the protection of our house. "My daughter," It was hard to breathe as my stomach bottomed out. The room was cool yet my skin was clammy, my body was a trembling mess and eyes weeping silently. "Anna, my baby! Oh that I never left you behind me in the mansion." My hands clenched tighter around my knees as I recalled Anna's heavy screams. Peter said that he would kill my daughter in front of my eyes on the wa
122. Going for a rescue"Anna is safe, right? Brian," I shook his shoulders. "Our daughter is safe, isn't she?" Someone from the guards sobbed. My head instantly looked around at the men so I could pick the sobbing one out. But everyone was vulnerably breathing and their red eyes told a different story. A story I wouldn't like to hear. As I was looking around everyone, I heard my beta, his voice poorly choking, "They breached… the mansion. Th-they shot Madam Martha and another nanny who was looking after Anna and took her away."No. No. No. Please… this was not true. It can't be. It's just… I found my place next to Brian as we both wept together.This was a dream. It had to be a bad dream because I was so happy in the morning. Everything was perfect and clean. Aura and I were savouring moments with our daughter. We were happy. How could everything turn upside down? Is it even possible for a happy family to scatter like the coins on a carrom board? "Miss. Martha," Aura won't be ha
121. Alpha's agony Alpha Damien's POV 'Damien…' 'Damien…' Agonizing screams hurt my head. I could see Aura being dragged away towards a tornado. It was whirling crazily and she cried, her hair bouncing all over her face. My mate. My darling. She was wearing a torn dress. Rather ripped aggressively. There were bruises on her bare arms and a blood trail cascading down her exposed legs. She looked vulnerable. Tortured beyond repair. Her lips were inflated and a puncture in the corner of her lip bled. 'Damien, help me. Save me from that beast. Don't let me go, Damien. Please…' She was held by the hair and dragged ruthlessly. Aura. My respectful Luna was in the clutches of a black shadow. I couldn't see much as my eyes were blurry. But whatever it was… it's caused harm to my Aura, and only meant to worsen her physical condition. 'Don't let me slip away, Damien. Please… please…' She held her hand out and yelled my name louder. I jumped and struggled to take her hand, trying my best
120. I told you I'll have her in my bed! Coming out of the car under the shelter of an Umbrella, they admired the rain and the silvery trails coming harshly on the ground. Damien's one arm was around her shoulder and one holding the umbrella. He loved this place for its simplicity.But looking at Aura's face, he can say she was not very happy. Her nose was creased and her eyes tentatively stared through mist and a heavy shower trail."I don't see any arrangements?" Aura raised her head to meet his eyes.Indeed there was nothing, for this place was an empty piece of land. Yet, what one sees must not be used to draw a final conclusion."Come on, I'll show you." Stretching his lips into a grin, he led themselves ahead.Aura's gown was completely drenched from the edge. There was dirt in her stilettos and she couldn't walk properly any longer. It was her good luck that Damien was walking by her side, or else she would have already collapsed. Much worse, she could have twisted her ankles
119. A menacing date night In the mansion, Aura stared out at the gray army of clouds as they wailed and stormily poured over the horizon. Placing a hand on the glass of the window, she felt the iciness creep into her palm. The rain was frosty and every drop plummeted like a bullet on the grass of bed. "Why is it raining so aggressively today?" She looked up at the sky that's draped the whole world in a blanket of fog. As long as her eyes could see, there was only pallidness. She never liked rains like these. This reminded her of that terrifying night when Damien misunderstood her and threw her out of the mansion, after accusing her of cheating on him. Goosebumps spread over her skin. Aura rubbed her arms and walked away. She no longer wished to look into the gray eyes of the sky and feel vulnerable. Pulling the curtains over the windows, she returned to her bed and sat down near the cot of her daughter. 'My heart throbs restlessly inside my chest. Why?' Taking a look at her
