When Lucien hung up, he was still fuming, still finding it hard to believe that Aurora was in a relationship with someone else now.

He furiously slammed the phone against the floor.

Carla just happened to see him lose his temper like that.

Her eyes widened in shock.

She walked over and took his arm, "Lucien, what's wrong?"

Lucien glanced at her, his eyes clear and cold.

Carla felt startled.

Lucien had never looked at her with such eyes before.

Ever since that day when Aurora played that recording at the hospital, Lucien seemed to have changed.

Was he really suspicious of her?

No, she had laid out her plans years ago, and it had been hard for her to get to this point, so she mustn't lose the battle.

Her eyes pooled with tears in an aggravated manner.

"Did I do something to upset you?"

Lucien’s heart was filled with contradictions as he looked at Carla’s pitiful appearance.

For the first time, he knew that Carla might be pretentious.

He didn’t know how to feel about the things he found

    Lucien looked up at the man.The fury in his eyes converted into shock when he saw the face clearly.He couldn’t believe his eyes."Mr…Mr Dumont?”Damon had already wrapped his hand around Aurora’s waist in a smooth manner.Looking at her, he asked, "We made plans to have dinner together. Should we go now?"Aurora thought for a moment, “Let’s not eat out tonight. I’m craving for smoky albondigas, the ones made by you.”“Okay, then let’s stop by the grocery store, I need to get my special ingredient for it.”Lucien was still in disbelief when he saw the intimate and natural conversation between the two.Manuel Dumont was going to cook for Aurora?!And it seemed to be something he has been doing.Lucien was one of those men who were of the belief that the kitchen was meant for the kitchen staff or a woman.Not a man and definitely not a great man like Mr Dumont.But with the smile on Damon’s face as he stared at Aurora, Lucien could see that he was practically happy to cook for her.Thi

    *AURORA*[6 AM, pick me up at the airport.]The sudden glow of my phone screen shattered the silence in the dark room. The piercing light startled me awake. Half-asleep, I rubbed my eyes and squinted at the abrupt message.For a moment, my heart skipped a beat, and my fingers trembled slightly. That number, that tone—was it him? My husband, Lucien?The airport? Was he coming back? The thought alone quickened my breath, as if an invisible hand had gripped my throat, leaving me momentarily unable to breathe.Frantically, I reached for the bedside lamp. The warm yellow light dispelled some of the darkness but couldn't chase away the unease in my heart. I stared at the message, reading it over and over, as if I could see through the screen and glimpse the man behind those words.Just then, my phone buzzed again. Another message appeared:[Answer me, Aurora.]It was him—it had to be. Who else would be so imperious, disregarding the fact that it was the middle of the night, a time when ever

Or have you forgotten how you forced me to marry you?""You said...you said when you come back...you said we'd be together again? How could you do this to me? You were with her all this time?"This all felt so unreal.No.I turned to face Carla."How can you do this to me? You..."My friendship with her had come to an abrupt end due to her improper behavior toward Lucien.At the time, I was certain she had exited our lives for good. But now, I see they are two sides of the same coin!Carla, in her relentless pursuit of a life with Lucien, had schemed and manipulated to the utmost degree.What she called "great love" was, for me, a searing agony that cut to the bone.I turned to Lucien, tears streaming down my face, my voice trembling as I demanded, "Is this what you call your studies? Mastering the art of destroying a marriage?""Aurora, watch your tone!" he shot back, his voice cold and dismissive. "In today's wor

    *AURORA*I stepped into a bar bathed in dim, sultry lighting and filled with the pulse of raucous music, my heart brimming with anticipation and inner conflict.Settling slowly onto a high stool at the bar, my hands unconsciously twisted together as my eyes cautiously scanned the room, weighing the potential "choices" around me.The dance floor was alive with a myriad of handsome men, their movements fluid and confident under the shifting lights.Yet, I couldn't help but feel out of place in this setting.How was I supposed to take the first step?Was I really expected to walk right up and bluntly ask someone if they'd like to sleep with me? My cheeks grew warm at the mere thought. How would the people around me react? Would they whisper behind my back, labeling me a shameless woman?I swallowed hard, my gaze dropping nervously to the untouched drink in front of me as if it could somehow offer me solace."You can do this, Aurora," I whispered to myself, trying to summon a shred of cou

    *AURORA*I slowly shifted my gaze away from Damon, the man radiating a magnetic allure in front of me, and glanced at the phone vibrating incessantly in my hand. A storm of emotions churned within me.It was undeniable—anyone who laid eyes on Damon would be captivated by his unique charm. He looked like he had stepped straight out of a Greek myth, a modern-day Eros exuding temptation with every breath.By comparison, Lucien's image in my mind seemed dull, even laughable. Rationally, I knew I should ignore the call and focus entirely on the man before me, whose very presence made my pulse race.Hesitating briefly, I found the phone in my hand felt as heavy as lead.Damon, as though reading my thoughts, shrugged nonchalantly. That casual movement carried an air of carefree indifference. "If you want to answer it, then answer," he said.His voice cut through the silence like a sharp blade. Though his tone was cold and detached, I caught a flicker of disdain in his gaze.Was that disdain

    *AURORA*But I didn't have the luxury of pondering the deeper meaning behind his words. I pushed him away forcefully, my determined gaze signaling him to let go of me.Frantically, I opened my bag and rummaged through it, finally pulling out a check for ten million.Feeling a bit guilty, I placed it on the bed and forced an awkward smile. "Thank you for taking the time. Consider this... payment for tonight."However, Damon's reaction caught me entirely off guard.He didn't show the gratitude or excitement I expected. Instead, a faint, almost mocking laugh escaped his lips.His gaze moved slowly from the check back to me, his eyes scrutinizing me like a peculiar object. His voice, cold and calm, cut through the tension: "This is your solution?"Despite his well-disguised disdain, I caught a subtle flicker of contempt in his tone.It made me question myself—had I done something wrong? How could someone who worked in a place like a bar remain indifferent to such a substantial amount of m

    *DAMON*I was fucked.This woman will be the death of me.And I could ruefully admit now that she was the only person that could ruin me.I realized that when I stood in front of the Sullivans mansion that night.I had wanted to go in. I just had to get my men to take care of the security guards. I desperately wanted to go in and get my Aurora out of that house.And it took everything in me not to go in. Because I knew she wouldn’t like that. Because I felt she would find me psychotic. I had second thought because I didn’t want her to hate me. She literally values the Sullivan’s opinion of her so much and they certainly would not think of her in a good light if I should drag her out of their house.I didn’t want her to think of me as a psycho, I just wanted her away from him. She should not be around him anymore and I feared that she might sleep with him especially because she spent the fucking night there.Even if I believed her when she said she didn’t sleep with him, still, it pain

    Later that day, Aurora was still feeling bothered, she was still unable to reach him but suddenly, her phone rang.She jumped seeing that he was the one calling.She looked at her cell phone for a few seconds in deep thought.When she picked up, she didn't speak first.After a few minutes of silence, a low voice came from the other end of the phone, "So if I don’t come to you, you won’t come to me? Is that so?”Aurora ignored that question.”The posts on the internet. The videos, pictures. Was it your doing?”She had lost hope with the public seeing anything good in her.She had just wanted the news to pass on its own.But now, she could host the news again?She was very happy.“Yes.”He confirmed.“Thank you so much,”She murmured.“What I did cost me a lot of money and resources. And as usual, you’re going to want to pay me back so how will you thank me?”She smiled.”I'll buy you dinner tonight."“Okay.”He agreed.She jumped off the bed and started to get dressed, excitedly.She felt s

    “I don’t want to be with him. Nothing happened between us last night. I only took him home.”Aurora clarified.After all, it was part of the rules that they wouldn’t share each other with other people.The corner of Damon’s mouth hooked out with a touch of sarcasm.“You really know your way around men.” He tilted up her chin.“What? Lucien couldn’t satisfy you last night so you came back to me?!”Aurora’s eyes quickly went cold.”Do not insult me! I told you, nothing happened.”Damon’s handsome brows furrowed, his eyes deep and dark, hiding storm clouds.Aurora was still in her signature surly smile, and her voice was soulful and enticing, "Also, my relationship with you is not enough for me to explain everything I do to you. As long as I abide by the rules, you have no reason to interrogate me like this. We’re just sex buddies! I did not break any rule and you have no right to be so upset!”“Of course, if you’re tired of this, you can end this relationship at any time and I'll move out

    At night, Aurora tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.What did Lucien words mean?She wrote all that in her diary?When?Aurora got up early in the morning.When she went to the dinning room for breakfast, she ran into Lucien.Lucien’s eyes seemed to flash with a hint of an unknown emotion when he saw Aurora.“You were the one who drove me home yesterday?"Aurora nodded, sat down and started eating breakfast, "You were drunk, Caden called me."Lucien was silent for a moment, "Next time I'll tell them that we're separated so that they won’t bother you."Aurora’s expression was faint, "As you wish."Lucien stared at her face.She had just gotten up, no make up, and looked nothing like her usual sophisticated self.When she put on makeup brightly, she looked like a seductive vixen.But without makeup, she looked pure and innocent like the girl he had grew up with.After shaking his head for a moment, he said, "The post on the internet, you were right, it was Carla who leaked the news.
