*AURORA*

“Do not call her that!” Lucien scolded Fabiola.

I watched as Fabiola eyed him and then she asked.

“When are you going back? Why did you even come back, anyway? You should have remained abroad.”

“If Lucien dares to leave again, he’ll stop being a member of this family. You and Aurora would share the Sullivan’s property equally.” Lucien’s father declared.

I saw Fabiola clapped her hands, excitedly.

“Did you hear that, Rory? You and I will be in charge. I’ve always known we’ll be great women and then we’ll have any man at our disposal.”

“At such a young age, your mind is filled with bullshit! I know who you learnt it from though, such a shame.” Lucien spat.

Everyone glared at him, including me.

Grandpa Sullivan spoke.

“Fabiola, we aren’t disowning your brother yet. We’d give him time to prove his worth. Lucien, you’ll go to the company tomorrow and take over the position of general manager.”

“What a pity.”Fabiola let out, disappointedly.

“Recently, our construction company isn’t

    *AURORA*“I’m not spending the night here.” Lucien announced, indifferently.Alma slammed her cutlery on the table, angrily.“Where are you spending the night then? With that goblin? If you dare to leave the house, I’ll have someone get rid of her!”Lucien glared at his mother.”You wouldn’t dare!”“Try me.”I grimaced and continued to eat, watching the drama as entertainment.Even though I hated Carla and Lucien a lot, I didn’t wish any of them death.I just didn’t want to be around either of them ever again.However, I was still curious as to what Lucien could do for Carla though.***************Lucien and I had no choice but to retire to the same bedroom.I was sitting on the bed while he was at the balcony.He had been on the phone for almost an hour now.Since he was loud, I happened to know that he was talking to Carla and he apparently was begging her to forgive him for not being able to go to her tonight.Plus I could tell she was crying because he kept begging her not to cry.

    *AURORA*Glancing at Lucien on the couch, I recalled that he had a low tolerance for cold.I sensed that he was already asleep, then I got the remote of the air conditioner and deliberately made the air as cold as possible.The only thing I felt now was tormenting him every chance I get.I hid the remote and went to sleep.When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw him, curled up on the couch and shivering.With a satisfied smile, I went back to sleep.In the morning, I wasn’t surprised when he woke up with a cold.I never thought the day would come when all I would feel for him was hate.He deserved it and until we get divorced, I would continue to torment him.I didn’t care that he was ill this morning, I got ready and headed for the TV station.Coupled with the fact that I worked at the Sullivan’s company, I was also a TV host.This had been my dream since I was little and I was glad the Sullivans allowed me to work here even if I knew that deep down, they would prefer I work

    Aurora and Lucien moved closer to Mrs Dumont to present their gift.Lucien had left Aurora in charge of getting the gift so he watched as she brought out a box.Opening the delicate box, it contained a vintage glass bottle of perfume.Aurora had a hobby and gift of making unique perfumes and so she made this herself.“Mrs Dumont, this is the Sullivans family’s gift to you. I hope you like it.”People around found the gift questioning!A perfume for the great Mrs Dumont?Everyone was getting her something rare but Gianna got her this?!The old lady picked up the perfume and brought it close to her nose.She smiled.”Thank you, Aurora.”Aurora was surprised.How did Mrs Dumont know her name?Everyone addressed her as Mrs Sullivan in this social circle.Even if some of them knew her name, she didn’t expect that Mrs Dumont would know it too because they had never met or spoken before, talk more of getting personal.The old lady continued.”This is a unique scent, I heard you make perfumes,

    *AURORA*After presenting my gift to Mrs Dumont, Lucien and I walked to where our table was located.No one was seated yet do we had to wait on the sidelines.His cellphone rang out.“I have to take this.”He said to me.I nodded and watched him walked away.I knew it was Carla calling.It didn’t bother me.I had genuinely lost all interest in being with him.I kept myself entertained by admiring the antiques inside the banquet hall.A blue and white porcelain, probably from the 80s was a jaw-dropping sight.At that moment, a young lady walked up to me.“You’re Mrs Sullivan, right?”I nodded.”How may I help you?”“I’m Allegra Montes, the daughter of the Montes family, as you know, we own the biggest perfume company in the country, I heard you make unique fragrances, I’d like to buy some from you. Name your price.”I smiled, politely at her.”I only enjoy formulating different fragrances for now. I’ve not monetized it yet but if I have time, I could teach you how I make my perfumes. Sinc

    *AURORA*I was still frozen in place until I started to hear some older women’s voices around me.“If I wasn’t married, I’d have loved to be owned by him.”“You wish. I don’t think you’d stand a chance, Mrs Gordon.”“You can say that again, I mean, look at how magnificent he is, I wonder if the ladies still have the nerves to chase after him. A man like this would be surely hard to please. He would surely want a lady as great as he is.”“Any woman who has ever succeeded in even having a few minutes alone with him, breathing the same air as him is so lucky.”I zoned out on the conversation and chose to focus on the crisis I had going on right now.No!It can’t be him.I didn’t want it to be him because how on earth was I supposed to face him?I stared at his face again, he had a powerful and icy aura around him.The man I met last night didn’t had this much aura.Granted, it was dark and I felt he was just an ordinary man at a bar, plus his dark hair had fallen messily on his face but

    Everyone’s attention fell on Aurora.They were alarmed and at the same time very curious to know what Aurora had done to the great Mr Dumont.Aurora was a very beautiful woman. People knew and acknowledged that fact.She had the kind of beauty that could turn heads instantly when she walked into any room full of people.Could it be that she had an affair with Mr Dumont?Lucien stared at Aurora, questioningly.“Aurora, care to explain what this is about?”He questioned, coldly.It felt as if someone had poured ice on his body.How could Aurora know or even offend someone like Mr Dumont?Could there be something between them?He recalled when she told him she had a lover.No.That can’t be possible.Even if he had told her that their marriage was an open one, he always believed that she could never get involved with another man.She could never have anything to do with another man, talk more of a man like Mr Dumont who was definitely out of her league.Aurora stepped forward and spoke, c

    *AURORA*Was it because people worshipped the ground he walked on?That man was so arrogant!I took a deep breath, I’d have to ignore his arrogance because I really needed to secure this project for the Sullivans.I was still fuming when I suddenly got splashed with red wine.I gasped in shock then looked up to see Isobel.“Oh, I’m so sorry, Aurora. I just wanted to go make a toast to Mrs Dumont but I tripped when I was passing by this table.”Who was she kidding?She did it on purpose!Isobel always wanted to humiliate and hurt me whenever she gets the chance.I looked around, seeing people’s attention was already getting drawn to us.I glared at Isobel, as I tried not to lose my temper.My mom, or rather, Hannah, Isobel’s mother walked up to her.“Mom, I…I didn’t mean to. Oh God, her dress has gotten messed up because of me.”Hannah slung me an unbothered look.“Don’t feel so bad, Isobel. It was a honest mistake. I mean, Aurora has enjoyed everything you were supposed to enjoy since

    *AURORA*“Why are you undressing in my bedroom?”I blinked.”Your…your bedroom?”“Yes.”I looked around the room which was painted in black, well, it suited him.“I didn’t know. I got splashed with wine and Janelle brought me here to change. She said this room was unoccupied.”He raised his eyebrow, slightly.”She’s not wrong. This used to be my room. I don’t live here anymore. I just wanted to come up to relax for a while, it’s not easy putting up with a lot of people.”He replied.I almost sensed arrogance in that statement but when I thought about it, it must be exhausting for him having people after people, wanting to talk to him, to curry favor from him.I saw a door, guessing it was the bathroom, I tried to open it but it was locked.I turned back to face him, still securing my dress around my body.“If it’s not too much to ask, can you go out please?”“Are you sending me out of my own room?”He asked.I needed him to have a conscience right now.The dress had come with an inbuilt b

    *DAMON*I haven’t felt bad about having a big dick until tonight.When I saw the pain on her face. I realized that even if I badly wanted to fuck her, I should have made her super ready for me.I didn’t want her to feel any pain with me. The only thing I wanted her to feel was pleasure and that was why I hurriedly placed this order.I stared at it, glad that it arrived as fast as I had instructed.As I walked into my bedroom, I frowned, seeing Aurora putting her shirt on, she already had her panties on now.I hurried up to her.”What are you doing?”She looked away from me.I held her shoulders, forcing her to look at me.“What is it, Aurora?”“I’m going home.”I gasped.”You…after all that? You’re going to leave me like this?”I grabbed her hand, placing it on top of my very hard crotch.She shakily took her hand away.”You…you should call your other women.”Staring intently at her sad eyes, I realized what was happening.She felt I was disappointed.Why would she feel that way?Doesn’t

    *AURORA*I gasped when he pulled back and swiftly carried me into his arms.I wrapped my arms around his neck as he walked, he ascended the stairs and opened a door.He placed me on the bed and hovered above me almost immediately.As much as I wanted to enjoy myself tonight, I wanted this to be an enjoyable experience for him as well.And so, I pushed him gently and made him lie on the bed.He stared at me with questioning eyes. I smiled and moved down his body.He didn’t stop me, instead he stared at me with a burning desire.He lifted up his hips as I pulled off his sweatpants and briefs.As that huge cock sprung free, my eyes dilated.I took a deep breath, summoning the courage to touch him. He must have been with so many women, I didn’t want to seem inexperienced to him.I curled my fingers around him.God, he was big and thick, hard and so hot against my palm.“What do you want,Mr Dumont?”I asked,teasily.He smiled down at me and that made me a bit bold to do this.“Tell it to me

    Carla walked into the private room and up to Lucien who looked pissed beyond words.“Lucien, what did you say to Aurora? She looked devastated.”“I was tired of her acting like a saint. I told her I was aware of what she did that night.”Carla’s eyes dilated.”You…you promised me not to ever mention it to her.”“It’s high time she knows anyway! If you hadn’t sent me those pictures, I never would have found out how much of a horrible person she is.”“Still, I…she didn’t need to know. We’ve all moved on. There’s no need dwelling in the past.”Lucien held her hands.”We all moved on, except her. She keeps bullying you and for that reason, I am going to keep tormenting her. Carla, I think it’s high time you stop worrying about how she feels. Even back then, you told me not to ask her about that night because she had just lost her family and you didn’t want her to experience a terrible heartbreak if she finds out that I knew what she did. You care about her too much. It’s time you stop. She

    *AURORA*“I’ve told you countlessly not to bully Carla. Why do you keep ignoring my words? Do you really want to see what I can do to you?”Lucien barked.I slowly sat on a sofa and admired my freshly done manicure.“What did I do this time?”“You intentionally ordered expensive meals so she wouldn’t be able to pay. How dare you embarrass her in front of those people?!”I was tired of defending myself.Since he was always going to think I was bullying her.Then that’s what he was going to hear.“Fine. I bullied her and I was so going to enjoy watching her make a fool out of herself. There! Are you happy?”“You’re despicable.”“No! The two of you are despicable. You two ruthlessly hurt me, you two made a fool out of me, you two crushed me as if I didn’t matter at all.”“You betrayed me first!”He thundered.” Stop acting like a saint when you cheated first!”I frowned.”I cheated first?”“What happened that night, Aurora?! What happened that night at the club close to our university? Will

    The women in the room felt envious of Carla.“Awwn, that’s so sweet. He didn’t want to be separated from you.”Ava asked. “You really should introduce us to him. We need to see the man who loves you that much. Men like him are rare.”Carla smiled, sheepishly.”I will introduce him to you guys later when I get the chance.”Carla didn’t like how calm Aurora looked. From the moment she accepted that she was the news reporter Mr Dumont wanted even if she wasn’t so sure, she had been expecting Aurora to look a mess.But she still had that beautiful, calm look on her face.Even now that she was bragging about her boyfriend who was Aurora’s husband, Aurora still looked composed as if she didn’t care.Carla felt so upset.She wanted to see a pained look on Aurora’s face.The waiters came over and handed the ordering tablets to everyone.Carla handed a tablet to Aurora herself.“Aurora, order anything you want, it’s the least I can do for taking the prime-time position from you.”Carla greatly

    *DAMON*I was puzzled just like how the others were around me on seeing that card.How did she get it?Even if she was from the Diaz family, and is currently married to the Sullivan family, there was still no way she would be eligible for this card.None of the members from both families were.“The only person I’ve seen with this card is Mr Dumont. It is very rare to see it with just anyone.”“Who exactly is this woman?”“There is no way she can be a lowly mistress.”“I’m so curious to know who she is.”Hearing those words, I felt a sense of satisfaction seeing that Aurora had restored her reputation all on her own.Anytime I think I couldn’t get any more fascinated by her, I get ten times more drawn to her.I watched as the manager led her away, while everyone stared at her with so much respect.I recalled her refusing my help.I didn’t mean to put her in an awkward situation. I was curious to see if she truly meant anything to her husband.I was genuinely pissed that he could deny h

    *AURORA*“What sort of drama is this? There is a real and fake Mrs Sullivan?” That voice sounded in the air.I swallowed, recognizing his voice.Damon.I turned around to find him walking up to us.Today, he was dressed, casually in black sweatshirt and sweatpants.I wanted to lie and say he looked less attractive, I wanted to say he looked better only in suits but I had to admit, the man could look majestic in anything.“The polygamy is this city is interesting and it seems like both women don’t even know that they’re married to the same man.”People laughed but I frowned.He knows that I was the real Mrs Sullivan so why was he making a joke about this?I avoided Damon’s gaze, frankly because I hated being in this situation right now.I didn’t want to put up a fight about being Mrs Sullivan because Lucien wasn’t worth fighting for.But at the same time, I didn’t want to be labeled as a mistress.I glanced at Carla who was still looking nervous.After knowing how evil she could be, I

    As Carla watched Aurora walk away, the expression on her face turned cold.From the very first day she met Aurora, she had been very jealous of her.She had wondered how someone could be so beautiful. Her jealousy increased when she found out that Aurora was from a rich family and also had a boyfriend who loved her, dearly.She wanted to be Aurora, she wished to have Aurora’s life and so she set out to seduce Lucien.When the public got to know that Aurora wasn’t a Diaz, it was as if the heavens was on her side.

    *AURORA*What I had wanted to do this year was try to win over my co-workers that didn’t like me.I had wanted to prove to them that I wasn’t someone who robbed Isobel of her life. I had wanted to prove to them that if I had the chance to choose, I’d never snatch someone’s life from them.I had wanted to make them understand that what happened wasn’t my fault.But I realized now that there was no need of trying to win them over.They might only end up finding more reasons to hate me so it wasn’t worth it.Being a news presenter had always been my dream since I was little, it was something I wanted to do, not just for the money but because I had a passion for it.I had a wide range of skills, Alma always said that I was special and that was why I was blessed with so many talents.So yes, with my talents, I had made enough money that could sustain me for the rest of my life.I even had annual dividends from QUEEN’s every year.Financially, I didn’t need to worry at all.I knew Carla was
