Aurora’s Point of ViewEduardo's breath mingled with mine as we stood mere inches apart. The air between us felt charged, thick with unspoken words and emotions neither of us could deny anymore. My heart pounded in my chest as his hand gently brushed my arm, and I could feel the pull—our lips almost touching.Just as his hand cupped my cheek, and the world around us started to fade away, a loud knock shattered the moment.We both froze. I blinked, taking a step back as reality came crashing in. Eduardo's eyes lingered on mine for a heartbeat longer, his hand falling from my face as the knock came again—louder this time, more insistent.“I’ll... I’ll get that,” Eduardo muttered, running a hand through his hair as he moved to answer the door. His voice was gruff, and I could see the tension still coursing through him.I stood there for a moment, trying to calm my racing heart. Embarrassment washed over me as I realized how close we’d just come to... what, exactly? A kiss? Something mor

Aurora's Point of ViewThe day of the bid arrived, and the office was buzzing with nervous excitement. We had spent the past week going over every detail, ensuring that our proposal for the Evergreen Heights project was as solid as it could be. Eduardo was calm and focused, but I could tell from the way his jaw clenched that the pressure was getting to him.I walked into the conference room where Eduardo’s team had gathered, ready for the final presentation. The room was filled with engineers, architects, and project managers, all looking over last-minute details on their laptops and discussing strategies in hushed tones.Eduardo stood at the head of the table, reviewing the presentation slides on the screen. His presence was magnetic, as usual, and I couldn’t help but notice how his confidence lifted the spirits of everyone around him. It had been weeks since he re-entered my life, and I could no longer deny how drawn I felt toward him. The way he handled the kids, his steady hand at

Aurora’s Point of ViewThe rest of the bid passed by in a blur. The conference room was thick with tension as the final results were announced. My heart pounded in my chest, and though I tried to keep my face neutral, my nerves were on edge. Eduardo sat next to me, his gaze fixed on the panel of judges, every muscle in his body tight with anticipation."And the winner for the Evergreen Heights project is... Arclight Corp."A wave of disappointment crashed over me, but I quickly schooled my expression, knowing this wasn’t the end. Eduardo’s company might have lost the bid, but we were still in the game. Arclight needed a partner to handle certain aspects of the project, and given the nature of the proposal, they couldn’t do it without us. The judges had suggested that both companies collaborate—Arclight leading, but with Eduardo’s team handling the technical architecture and design.But the thought of working with Ricardo again, after everything, made my stomach churn. I stole a glanc

Eduardo’s Point of ViewThe moment I saw Ricardo step into the auction room, something dark coiled in my chest. I kept my face unreadable, years of training in business meetings serving me well, but inside, I felt the unmistakable grip of anger. He hadn’t changed much. Physically, that is. But the air surrounding him had changed. Ricardo was always a man of low self esteem and he tried to mask that by being the loudest jerk in the room. But now, he was different. The way he sat on his seat, his face fixated on the stage with unshaken concentration spoke of a different man. The bidding process dragged on, numbers and proposals being thrown around like weapons in a battle none of us could afford to lose. I had anticipated competition from Arclight, but Ricardo being at the helm, leading their charge— that was a blow I hadn’t seen coming. I should have kept tabs on him when he left New York but Ricardo was an insignificant insect to me. I could care less of what he did with his life. Bu

Aurora’s Point of ViewThe sun was still rising as we stood on the tarmac, the sleek body of Eduardo’s private jet gleaming in the early morning light. I glanced at the sky, which was streaked with soft pinks and oranges, and tried to steady my nerves. Flying had never been my thing. I puked my guts out during takeoffs. And yet here I was, about to take off on a private jet to an island in Hawaii for a two-month construction projecThe island, Ike Nui, was a pristine, mostly untouched paradise that the Mayor had secured for the luxury resort project. We’d be working on building eco-friendly villas, preserving the natural beauty of the island while adding high-end, sustainable lodging. The whole thing was ambitious, but Eduardo had a way of pulling off the impossiblI glanced over at him as he talked with one of the crew members, his posture relaxed and commanding. Even after all these years, his presence still had that effect on me—steady, calming, and at times, maddeningly attractiv

Aurora's Point Of ViewThe sun was already high in the sky when I arrived at the construction site on *Ike Nui*, the island’s familiar warm breeze brushing against my skin. I adjusted my overalls and clipped on my helmet, a little nervous but also excited about the project we were undertaking. It had been years since I’d been involved in anything this hands-on. The island was beautiful, but as I glanced around the bustling site, I felt a mix of emotions swirling inside mI hadn’t seen Eduardo yet this morning, but I knew he was somewhere overseeing things. His company was working in collaboration with Arclight, Ricardo’s company, and though the merger was unexpected, it was necessary for the project to move forward. Still, it was strange to see Ricardo here againAs I made my way through the site, the sound of machinery humming, workers shouting instructions to one another, I spotted Ricardo. He was standing near the main structure being built, looking out at the blueprint in his hand

Eduardo’s Point of ViewI watched Aurora and Ricardo by the beach from a distance. The sight of them together stirred something deep inside me, something I didn’t want to admit. I clenched my fists, trying to focus on the construction site, on the workers, anything but them. But my eyes kept drifting back to the two of them, laughing and talking like old friends—like more than that. Ricardo had always been a thorn in my side, but seeing him now, back in Aurora’s life after all these years, felt like a slow burn under my skin. He wasn’t just a business rival; he was something else. Someone from Aurora’s past that I couldn’t control, couldn’t compete with in the same way I competed in business.As the day wore on and Aurora walked toward me, I could tell she sensed something was wrong. She asked if everything was fine, and I gave her the coldest answer I could muster without completely shutting her out. I couldn’t let her see how Ricardo’s presence was getting to me. I couldn’t let her

Aurora's Point Of ViewRicardo's call came in immediately I got into my room. I had expected him to call maybe at night but I guess he wasn't one to waste time. I took off my dirty clothes and picked up the call as I wrapped a towel around my body. "Didn't expect you to call so soon." He chuckled, "I would've called at night but I figured out you'd be tired and would rather use that time to rest than talk to some disturbing lad on the phone." I laughed, "You know I don't see you as a disturbance." He hummed knowingly in reply, "You didn't think so when we first met. If I remember correctly, you hated my guts." "And if I remember correctly, you deserved it." I countered and he laughed lightly. "Well, I wouldn't deny that. Are you busy?" I shook my head as I settled in my bed. "No, I'm not. What's up?" He hummed, his voice dropping low as he said, "I just wanted to talk to you." My fingers found their way into my hair, "Talk to me?" I asked as I twirled the strands. "Yes." He w

Aurora’s Point of ViewNana's birthday party was a success to say the least. She was so touched and she wouldn't stop saying thank you. Two days passed and things were back to usual. Eduardo called me in the morning to invite me to a coffee shop. He said we needed to talk. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me what he wanted to talk about. I knew instinctively. The coffee shop was warm and cozy, with the soft hum of chatter and the comforting smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. I sat across from Eduardo, stirring my latte absentmindedly, wondering why I felt so restless. We spoke about the usual things—work, the kids, even Nana’s party. The conversation flowed naturally, but I could sense an underlying tension. Eduardo’s expression shifted as he leaned forward, his hands clasped together on the table. “What’s next for us, Aurora?” he asked quietly, his eyes searching mine. I froze, unsure how to respond. “What do you mean?” I asked, stalling for time. He sighed, h
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins Far Gone
Aurora’s Point of ViewThree months had passed, and life had finally settled into a rhythm. My business wasn’t booming like some overnight success story, but it was steady. Profitable. Enough to keep me busy and give me a sense of purpose I hadn’t felt in years.One of the unused rooms in the house had transformed into my work sanctuary. Shelves lined the walls, stocked with packaging supplies, raw materials, and finished products ready for shipment. My desk was cluttered but organized—a system that made sense to me, if no one else.It was fulfilling, but hard. Nana helped as much as she could, but she had her own responsibilities. Julie was swamped with work, and even Eduardo only came by occasionally. As for Ricardo, he’d been gone for a month on a project abroad.I told myself I didn’t think about him much. It was easier that way.But deep down, I missed him. The way he made me laugh when I was too tired to care about anything, how he believed in me even when I doubted myself. The
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins Launch Of Me
Aurora's Point Of View I shut the front door behind me, pressing my back against the cool wood as I tried to steady my breathing. My lips tingled, and my heart raced, but not from exertion. Ricardo’s kiss lingered in my mind, and no matter how much I tried to shake it off, the memory wouldn’t leave.“What are you doing, Aurora?” I whispered to myself, running a hand through my hair.The house was eerily quiet without Eloise and Dexter, who were already asleep. I’d hoped for a peaceful evening to focus on my work, but peace was the last thing I felt. I walked into the living room, my gaze landing on the vision board propped against the wall.It was filled with fragments of the life I wanted to build - pictures of smiling families, career aspirations, quotes about strength and independence. All of it was meant to guide me, to remind me of who I was becoming.But now, I felt adrift.***The days blurred into weeks.Between the kids, work on my new venture, and occasional check-ins with
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins A Kiss
Aurora's Point Of ViewThe afternoon stretched lazily into early evening as Ricardo and I worked at his dining table, the space cluttered with sticky notes, sketches of designs, and beads scattered across every available surface. My eyes burned from staring at my notes, and my fingers ached from stringing beads into different patterns. I leaned back in my chair with a groan, stretching my arms above my head. “I’m exhausted,” I admitted, dropping my hands to my lap. “If I see one more bead, I might scream.” Ricardo glanced at me, smirking as he shut his laptop. “You’re calling it quits already? We’re just getting started.” “Ricardo, I’ve been staring at beads for hours,” I shot back, rolling my eyes. “I need a break.” He laughed, leaning back in his chair. “Fine, fine. How about we unwind a little? I’ve got some tequila in the kitchen.” I arched an eyebrow. “Tequila? You’re trying to kill me now?” “Only a little,” he teased, standing up. “I’ll grab the glasses. Stay put.” I got
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins A family Day Out
Aurora's Point Of View It was Dexter’s idea, of course. My son had a way of bringing people together, even when the adults in his life were determined to stay in their separate corners. “You’ve been working too hard, Mom,” he’d said, his voice full of authority for a five-year-old. “We need a day for all of us. Me, Ellie, you, and Dad. And Uncle Ricardo can come too! My friend said her mama and daddy go out together all the time!"At first, I balked at the idea. Spending a whole day with Eduardo, Ricardo, and the kids in the same space? It sounded like a recipe for awkwardness. But Dexter was insistent, and when Eloise chimed in with a quiet, “It could be nice, Mom,” I caved. So, here we were, standing in the middle of the city park on a sunny Saturday, my nerves jangling as Eduardo unloaded a picnic basket from the back of his car. Ricardo stood a few feet away, holding a soccer ball and trying to coax Dexter into teaching him “the rules of football.” “Uncle Ricardo is being emba
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins Aurora Threads
Aurora's Point Of View The sun filtered through my window as I sat at my desk, notebook open and pen in hand. The page stared back at me, blank as always. I sighed, resting my chin on my hand. I had been at this for weeks - trying to figure out what I liked, what I wanted, who I was outside of Eduardo and everything else. The buzz of my phone pulled me from my thoughts. I glanced at the screen to see Ricardo’s message: “Morning, explorer. Time for your next adventure. Dress comfy—I’m picking you up in an hour.”I smiled despite myself. Ricardo had a way of dragging me out of my head and into the world. “Where are we going this time?” I texted back. “You’ll see. Trust me.”***An hour later, Ricardo pulled up outside my house, his car as loud and attention-grabbing as his personality. I slid into the passenger seat, eyeing the mischievous grin on his face. “You’re going to love this one,” he said, shifting the car into drive. “Is it another cooking class?” I asked, trying to gu
Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins Do I Still love him
The morning sunlight poured softly through the curtains, painting streaks of gold on the walls. I sat on the couch with my coffee, my notebook open on my lap. The pages were a chaotic mix of scribbled ideas, crossed-out plans, and even a few doodles from Eloise. Progress, I told myself, even if it felt painfully slow. The sound of small footsteps echoed down the hallway, pulling me from my thoughts. A second later, Dexter appeared in his pajamas, his hair sticking up like he’d been wrestling with his pillow all night. It was Saturday so I get to spend the whole day with my babies today. “Good morning, Mommy,” he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep as he climbed onto the couch beside me. “Good morning, love.” I kissed his messy curls and set my coffee down. “Where’s Eloise?” I asked, wrapping my arm around his small frame. “She’s still sleeping,” Dexter said, snuggling closer. I smiled, resting my chin lightly on his head. Moments like these felt like an anchor, grounding me in t

Aurora's Point Of ViewRicardo turned sharply when I called out his name, his dark brows raising in surprise. “Yeah?” For a moment, I froze, the weight of my impulsive request catching up to me. My mouth opened, but no words came out. Instead, I stared at him, my mind running wild with the thought of what I had *wanted* to say. “Did you say something?” Ricardo asked, his voice pulling me out of my stupor. He snapped his fingers lightly, a teasing gesture meant to catch my attention. “I...” My voice faltered, and I quickly shook my head. “No, nothing.” He frowned, studying me for a moment as if he could see through my half-hearted denial. “You sure? You looked like you wanted to say something.” I felt my cheeks heat up under his gaze. *I thought I said it out loud,* I realized, my heart pounding at the sheer embarrassment of it all. “No, really,” I insisted, forcing a tight smile. “I was just... I thought I heard something, but it’s nothing. You should go.” Ricardo didn’t look c

Aurora's Point Of ViewThe café was quieter than usual, the muted hum of soft jazz filling the background. I sat by the window, tracing patterns on the condensation that formed on my coffee cup. I’d been staring at Eduardo’s text for hours, my thumb hovering over my phone, unsure of whether I was ready for this conversation. "I’m sorry. I want to talk." His words were simple, but the weight they carried felt suffocating.After much thought and deliberation, I had agreed to meet him. But now, sitting in the quiet of the cafe, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to face him... really face him. I glanced at my wristwatch - thirty minutes past five. He said to meet here at 5.30. The door opened with a soft jingle, and Eduardo stepped in. His eyes scanned the room before locking onto mine. There was a look of hesitation on his face, something I hadn’t seen in a long time. Maybe it was guilt, maybe it was regret... either way, it made my stomach twist.He approached slowly, like he wasn’t sure wh
