The moment Aurora woke up, she smelled a strong antiseptic smell. Her head ached, as if an old wound that had not yet healed was torn open and bleeding.
Aurora touched her head and saw that her wound was wrapped in a white bandage. Only then did she startle recalling the heart-pounding moment on the boat.
At that time, Phelan and Mary were talking to each other, the atmosphere between them was very tense and not at all like the words Mary had told her. Aurora had a glimmer of hope that Phelan would choose her over Mary. But soon she immediately denied that thought of hers. If Phelan chose her, it would mean destroying the Shadow company himself.
Sure enough, Phelan chose Mary. When she heard him call another girl's name, Aurora couldn't help but burst into tears. She was heartbroken, but she dared not open her eyes to face him. She was afraid that she would see Phelan's cold and disdainful gaze.
The moment she crashed into the sea, Aurora was almost despe
"Is there something wrong with your body?"After the kiss ended, Phelan sat down next to Aurora, lovingly patting her head."No. My throat is a bit sore, my body is a bit tired but it's fine. I think I can leave the hospital tomorrow.""You can rest assured and rest here for a few more days. After we've settled our affairs with Louis Victor, we'll leave Milan.""Have you… have you found Louis and Mary?""Not yet, but soon. He and his sister don't have much to hide. Before you find him, he'll probably come find us first. I will arrange a team of bodyguards to stand guard at the door, you don't need to worry."Aurora meekly nodded. Thinking of something, Aurora cautiously asked him."When I was on the boat I heard you call Mary Mary Johnson. What is this?"Phelan decided not to hide anything about Mary anymore. He narrated the whole story of Mary's identity and background.Mary Johnson was not the daughter of the Vi
After carefully arranging bodyguards for Aurora, Phelan left. He still has a lot of important work to do. Anyway, merging a big company like Dawn is not easy. Besides, Louis Victor was still on the run, Phelan couldn't let him go.Phelan is not a benevolent and compassionate person, he will not forgive the enemy who confronted him.However, the bravery of Louis Victor is really not trivial. He had been hiding Mary for three days. Phelan sometimes detects his whereabouts through some cameras in supermarkets and hotels. However, that was not enough for Phelan to capture Louis Victor.After a few days of convalescing in the hospital, Aurora recovered and was able to leave the hospital. The news of the ship explosion was blocked by Phelan, so no one knew that Louis Victor and Phelan Darius had had a terrible clash in the ocean. People can only guess about Dawn merging into Shadow company.Director Philip called Aurora to ask about the specific time that she r
After saying that, Louis Victor pointed the gun to his temple and then pulled the trigger. A boom rang out. Louis Victor pushed Aurora to the front, and his tall body staggered backwards. Moments before Louis Victor fell, a girl screamed in pain."No... No!..."A nurse who was hidden in the crowd suddenly rushed towards Louis Victor. But she was late, her hand barely grazed the man's shirt. She witnessed him fall from the rooftop to the ground, dying a painful death.Aurora recognized this nurse. She is Mary. It turned out that she was not standing far away to watch, but disguised herself as a nurse and hid in the crowd.Aurora has witnessed many of Mary's emotions. She saw Mary happy, saw Mary mad, saw Mary heartbroken. But Aurora had never seen Mary so desperate. She clung to the railing, her eyes widening downward, her mouth muttering "no, no".Aurora wanted to move closer to comfort Mary, but Phelan quickly picked her up and carried her away. P
As soon as they got home, Phelan kissed Aurora. He pressed her against the door and kissed her passionately. He slowly took off her wool scarf, then her robe and inner clothes. Aurora was kissed by Phelan to her mind. She knew he was in a good mood so he seemed to be craving sex. Phelan kissed Aurora's neck and whispered softly. "I can't take it anymore. You are the drug that makes me addicted." Aurora pushed Phelan's head away from her neck. She looked at him with lustful eyes. "Let's go to the bedroom. It's embarrassing to do 'that' here." "What's embarrassing? This isn't the first time we've done this either." After saying that, Phelan decisively carried Aurora to lie down on the sofa. Two naked bodies stick together. Phelan greedily inhaled Aurora's scent. He put his hand on her breast, gently caressing and massaging it. He leaned down to kiss her neck, then kissed her soft, white breasts. He kissed her thigh, his gaze fixe
Aurora and Christian go to Shadow Company. As soon as he got there, Christian's face was surprised. Don't tell him Aurora's boyfriend will be an employee of this company? Aurora leads Christian to the front desk. The insolent female receptionist from the day before was fired, replaced by a polite and extremely humble male receptionist. The male receptionist bowed to the two of them respectfully. "Excuse me, sir and madam, do you have any requests?" "Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Darius." "Yes, may I ask what your name is?" "Aurora Gabriel." After the riot at the front desk last time, Phelan Darius told Aurora to come to his company at any time. As long as she says her name, the receptionist will take her to his office. Sure enough, as soon as the male receptionist heard her name, he respectfully bowed and led Aurora towards the dedicated elevator for seniors. "Christian, let's go." Christian had overhear
"Fine. I volunteered to be your future wife's bodyguard." Christian put on a serious but funny face. "Also, I want you to tell me everything about Aurora. There's no need to control her, but stop her from doing something dangerous and stop the scammers who want to harm her." "Okay, I will sacrifice myself for your future wife." Christian places his hand on his chest like he's making a vow. "The last one... " "Anything I can do, just tell me." Christian says decisively. "Your father called to ask me when you will come back. I promised him that I would take you to practice at his company headquarters for half a year.Now go to the company your father works for. After half a year, you can fulfill your promise to look after Aurora for me." When Christian hears it, his smile disappears. Turns out... Phelan is still this vindictive villain. Phelan Darius deliberately brought Christian back to the company for a half-year internship to aven
When Aurora returned home, her parents were hugging each other and crying. "Matthew, you were very tired and hard in there, weren't you? Luckily, you were able to return." "Yes, I'm back. Don't cry." Aurora stood outside the door watching her parents cry pitifully, her tears involuntarily rolling down her cheeks. Jennifer was crying when she suddenly looked towards the door and saw Aurora still standing there. "Daughter, come in quickly, your father is back. He must have missed you." Aurora couldn't wait any longer. She jumped into her parents' embrace. It had been a long time since she had felt such a warm family bond. Ever since her father was falsely accused and sent to prison, Jennifer has cried every day. "Then why were you released from prison?" Mrs. Jennifer thought this was a dream, she couldn't imagine her husband - Mr. Matthew - coming home so suddenly. "Ah, I don't know how to explain it either. This afternoo
Aurora texted on the phone, looking sad and bored. "My parents seem angry with me because we love each other. Especially my father, he seems unhappy. I have never argued with him so I don't know what to do." "I'll come tomorrow and talk to your father privately, don't worry. If I were your father, I would do the same." "What do you mean?" "Any father is concerned for the safety of his child. It's okay if your father doesn't like you. But I'll prove you to your father that you're safe with me." "How did you prove it?" "That is secret." "You're really... hmm." Aurora sulked and stopped texting Phelan. Sometimes she couldn't understand what he was thinking. He is always mysterious and has his own solutions, she rarely interferes. Honestly, this is the first time Aurora is in a dilemma, she is forced to choose between her father and her boyfriend. But Aurora couldn't choose, she wished her father and Phelan could get along
