She just looked at the window, โI donโt know. Iโm not sure anymoreโฆI guess Iโll try to fix all of this first and go with the flow.โ He nodded, โSounds like a plan.โ And Aurora fell asleep on Felixโs shoulder on their way home, feeling tiredness taking a toll on her. Aurora felt a soft nudging of someone on her shoulder and she was woken up by that. She opened her eyes to see Felixโs face too close to her. โIโve been waking you up for an hour now. Really, what did Reagan do to make you this tired? He didnโt let you sleep and just tortured you right?โ โIโve been waking you up for an hour now. Really, what did Reagan do to make you this tired? He didnโt let you sleep and just tortured you right?โ Aurora sat upright, rubbing her face to wake herself up and choosing not to answer his question. Trust me, Felix, you donโt want to know what really happened and all the things that Reagan did to herโฆ She looked around, noticing the helicopter had already landed and their pilot, Unc
Iโm a coward. A damn asshole coward. I shouldn't have done it. I shouldnโt have forced Aurora to be on my yacht and spend her days there. But at the same time, inside me, I knew damn well that I completely enjoyed it and it was worth the risk. It was only the way I could tease her, and unexpectedly make her mine. But at the same time, inside me, I knew damn well that I completely enjoyed it and it was worth the risk. It was only the way I could tease her, and unexpectedly make her mine. In the beginning, I only wanted to tempt her into falling in love with me. Iโll have to show her all my positive aspects, all the things she never knew about me, to wash away her bad impressions of me so I could make a move on her. All those years of finding a girl that looks like her so she could realize I like herโฆto make her jealous..but damn, she doesn't even blink an eye, not even glance at me and not even talk to me. Was it because I changed my appearance too much? I wanted to be good
โHey mom, took you long enough to call me.โ โWhat? You didnโt answer my 50 missed calls, you child. Now get back here, we have a lot to talk about little one.โ I smile sheepishly, knowing it all too well Iโd be damned. I have always been a tough guy but one call from my mom and itโs over. โYes, I know you miss me so much mom, donโt worry Iโll get there as soon as possible, Bye!โ And with that, before mom could reply, I hung up and called my friend, Zen Alaric Malcolm, Aunt Hira, and Uncle Waveโs son. โWazzup, bro.โ He greeted me as soon as I called. โPrepare my car, Iโll get back now,โ I ordered. โOh, why are you ordering me like Iโm one of your staff? Ask your fatherโs staff, asshole.โ As always, Zen has a temper worse than mine, which is understandable as heโs been through hell recently. โOh, why are you ordering me like Iโm one of your staff?

Everything returned back to normal. Not until something happened. The most awaited part. On Friday at midnight, her mother just yelled for her dad to hurry as she was lying by their bed. Her father hurried, and Aurora peeked also to see her motherโs water had just broken. Excitement and panic instantly washed over her and her dad was carrying her mother to the car now as her things were already prepared last week. Her mom was screaming and yelling in pain, her face not that drawable now. Her father glanced at her and she helped him open the door and they were now in the car. Her father looked like he was panicking but trying hard to keep his cool. He then stepped on the gas and drove all the way to the hospital. All the while, Aurora stayed beside her mother for support as she held her hand and squeezed it. Good thing Aurora has high pain tolerance so much as it hurts her since her mother had a very hard grip and was strong, she just clenched her teeth and dealt with it. Al
Aurora woke up one morning feeling a bit tired. She just came back from her university in Toronto and graduated from her business management course. College was hell, but she was able to concentrate there without any distractions. She drove home yesterday as her mother was desperate to see her and congratulate her and they spent the last dinner eating and drinking and bonding with her family. She drove home yesterday as her mother was desperate to see her and congratulate her and they spent the last dinner eating and drinking and bonding with her family. Everything was already perfect in her life, except for one thing. One thing. As she woke up today, she felt something was off so she went to the bathroom to shower but stopped when she saw her reflection in the mirror. Black pentel pen marks were all over her face, and she knew exactly who drew them to her. Breathing deeply, she closed her eyes to calm herself down but couldnโt, and prepared her voice to yell out loudly, โ
Isleen rolled her eyes at the question, โDo I look like I have another company here?โ The man, who introduced himself as Ian, smiled. โWell then, let me accompany you throughout the night. As their drinks were made by the bartender, they cheered and had some small talk. It was quite boring as Aurora knew exactly the reason why the man came to her in the first place. He wanted what every man would want from herโฆ.itโs her beautiful body. It was quite boring as Aurora knew exactly the reason why the man came to her in the first place. He wanted what every man would want from herโฆitโs her beautiful body. Well, she worked hard to get in shape after all. The night was still young, and they kept on drinking. โThe night is getting livelier now, how about a dance?โ Ian offered his hands to her, waiting for her response. She ran her hand through her red silky dress that fell on her knees and accepted his offer. โSure.โ The beat changed into something livelier and got louder for
He looked at her sadly, still persistent in asking for her forgiveness. โI just want you to spare a second and give me time to talk, to explain my side. Please? Just hear me out and Iโll stop bugging you.โ He said, looking sincere. Aurora is not even sure if heโs true to her words. She had enough of him. She gritted her teeth, โI donโt know if youโre really sincere, but if you really are, then try to gain my trust first, and then we could talk..โ She said, walking away from him. Reaganโs eyes brightened at that, brimming with hope now, โI wonโt fail you then! โ She heard him yelling against the loud music and Aurora just rolled her eyes, going to the exit as she lost appetite the moment Reagan just showed up out of nowhere. The past must be buried. There is no way she would get back with that bastard again. No way in hell. Seeing him again reminds her of the past her she was young and stupid. Not anymore. She hailed a cab as she couldnโt drive in this state, also since she's
โWell, Iโve been wanting to meet you now because I want to introduce you to this lovely woman beside me.โ He said, smiling at the woman beside him. โAurora, meet Vivienne Rose, my girlfriendโฆโ The woman was wearing a bucket hat to hide the upper part of the face and when she removed it, Aurora gasped. As far as she could remember, this woman is Reaganโsโฆex? Why the hell is this woman in front of her, sitting beside her best friend and claiming to be his girlfriend? And why the hell does things for the past keep on appearing? First Reagan, and now his ex? Vivienne Rose extended her hand, โHello, Aurora itโs nice to meet you. I heard lots of things about you from Felix.โ Aurora gulped, looking nervously at Felix who was grinning at her, waiting for her to shake Vivienneโs hand. seriously? Is he this dumb? Or donโt realize the situation heโs in? So thatโs why she was feeling a bit off earlier because she would be put in this situation right now. Great. Aurora gulped, looking nervo
โIโll go and cook breakfast for you, '' He said, now finally standing up as he tried to grab his clothes but Aurora stopped him. โNo stay, itโs still early and it's only the two of us here.โ She said, still fresh from her early morning action. Reagan cursed under his breath, not able to resist her tempting offer. โYouโre right, letโs seize this moment more.โ And with that, Reagan smirked, now going back to bed as Aurora chuckled. That was what happened last time in Auroraโs household, in her room. โBabe, weโre here.โ Said Reagan to Aurora as he stopped by a very beautiful hall. The very famous church in Rome was surrounded by beautiful pink flowers, matching the wedding theme for the place. Aurora looked as if the place was filled with beautiful cars around and more guests were coming, just like them. Reagan noticed her hesitation, โHow are you feeling?โโNervous.โ She replied honestly, her heart beating so fast. โWant to ditch this place?โ Reagan offered and as tempting as it
Aurora rolled her eyes at how innocent his request was. Really, she was expecting something more, but she couldn't blame himโฆfor now, she has to respect what he wants. โAlright, come here.โ She pulled his body near her until she could feel his breath fanning on her face, his nose only a few inches at her and Aurora glanced at his lips before pulling his head to her chest, embracing him. Reagan sighed in relief, looking at her with a smile and contentment. Reagan then grabbed her and he wrapped his arms around her, spooning her from behind and inhaling her scent. โI want to stay like this forever.โAurora just smiled, feeling comfortable with his touch and closing her eyes to relax. This will be enough for nowโฆ.And Aurora got the best sleep she ever had in her life in Reaganโs arms. This has been very surprising for her. She has always been tense around Reagan in the past, but nowโฆitโs different. Also, since the moment she was kidnapped, she would have nightmares and dreams as i
Reagan stayed calm and collected, glancing at her and smiling, his smile faltering a bit with nervousness, โAre you feeling alright now?โ He started, breaking the silence between them. She faced him, โYes, I think Iโm fine now.โ He nodded, โThatโs goodโฆI think we need to talkโฆโ She nodded, agreeing with him, โI agree..โ Reagan then grabbed something from his pockets and a piece of paper fell. He handed it to her and Aurora looked at it, โWhat is it?โ โItโs a letter that Vivienne gave me. She said to give it to you.โ He simply said and Aurora's eyebrows quivered upwards. โWhere is she? Why didnโt she give it to me herself?โ โHer management took care of her, wanting us to stay silent with the kidnapping incident, they wouldnโt want her fans to panic.โ She nodded, understanding her side. With the kidnapping, they have gotten closer. She admits to hating the girl in the past, but now, her opinion of her changed a bit. She felt a bit concerned about her state knowing she took
Her mother smiled, โWell, he was the one who alerted us that you were missing and traced you downโฆhe didnโt even get enough sleep, and stayed with us the whole time.โ Her mother simply replied and Aurora gasped. โI know things are still a bit unclear with you two, but he was really worried for you, dear. Letโs talk about that later once we get you to safety.โ Just then, her mother held her hand and creased her eyebrow, noticing something, โYouโre burning up.โ She blinked, โOh, am I?โ And with that, she realized her mind has been hazy and heavy, feeling hot and aching. Her eyesight blurred a bit and felt her body falling to the ground, and the last thing she could see was her momโs worried face. It all felt like a dream. Auroraโs body was feeling so numb and she felt like she was floating. Opening her eyes, she saw her father sitting beside her. Nurses and doctors checked her state. The doctor sighed. โThankfully, you just lost some blood and we'll get your foot healed.โ And th
The master of the kidnappers grinned at them sinisterly and said, โWell well well, I missed you two, how are you?โ Aurora gritted her teeth, wondering about his sudden appearance. Did they put secret microphones in them to be able to hear their plans? Dammit, that was careless of Aurora! If she had known, she shouldnโt have said everything to Vivienne! โWeโre going to move you to another place, so better behave babygirls,โ said the master. โboys, do it.โ Two of the men came to each of them, holding a knife, a rope, and a handkerchief. The other man was removing the handcuffs on Aurora while the other was putting the folded handkerchief and putting it in her eye with a heavy breath, Aurora tried to calm down first, to let the enemies down and she waited for her hands and feet to get released. She then glanced at Vivienne to give her the signal and with one quick motion, she jabbed her elbows at the man behind her, which was covering her eyes. Before the man who released her handc
She can't help but think of her twin siblings. How are they now? they must have gotten taller and more mischievous. A tear escaped from Auroraโs eyes, looking back at her life. Really, things have become messy. She swore to never cry again and be a strong and independent woman, a woman who can do anything and wonโt complain about anythingโฆ Yet here she is, sulking and crying on the dirty floor locked in an unknown place with the woman she hates who happens to be somewhat dead. Really, she canโt wait to escape from this hell. Before she knew it, Auroraโs eyelids became heavy and she closed her eyes to rest for a bit. It felt like forever but Aurora didnโt know that she fell asleep. Her eyes fluttered open as she was awoken by the feel of someone touching her. She instantly tried to sit upright but the person who was holding her kept her down, and her back hit a knee so the person must have had her body lying on her lap. Her hands were about to hit the person in an alert but she s
โVivienne..โ Aurora called out and looked at her to see her laying on her side, her back facing her. โVivienne?โ She called out again but she still didnโt reply. She narrowed her eyes, carefully checking if Vivienne was not moving. And breathing. Auroraโs eyes widened, her heart beating fast a bit. โVivienne!โ She yelled, now moving closer to her right and approaching Vivienne and she could only reach her ankle as the chains were a bit tight and wounded her legs. She doesn't know what to do. Dammit! She hates Vivienne, but damn this girl better be alive, or else she wonโt be able to do her plan! She tried to check her ankle and her blood flow but couldnโt hear any. Aurora felt her stomach now twisting in so much hunger and she breathed hard, trying to fight it. She glanced at the bowl of food and gulped. With the seconds she counted in her head she knows that a day had passed so meaning, their bastard kidnappers are only going to give them food and water once a day. How cru
โSo, what do you want? Stop stalling and tell me already.โ Aurora said menacingly, her voice throwing daggers at them. She doesn't have to show them that sheโs scared, or whine like a brat as Vivienne did. She has to show that sheโs strong and calm so they wonโt just treat her badly. despite the loud beating of her nervous heart. The leader snickered, still holding her chin. โOh, what I want is for your mother to suffer. We looked for her everywhere and now that we caught Agent Isleenโs daughter, I wonder what will she reacts to?โ Just then, the lights turned on, blinding Auroraโs eyesight for a moment before seeing an old man with white hair and a large burn scar on half of his face. He pointed at his face, โSee this? This is the scar she left on me. I want to get my revenge and return the favor to her daughter.โ Aurora forced her eyes to look at the man clearly. Heโs really old now that heโs under the light. The rough patches of his scar were evident and clearly half on his
The driver laughed, along with the men beside her, and saw there were four of them huddled up to her. The one beside her grinned, pointing a pistol at her as he said, โYou must be confused to get in your kidnapperโs car willinglyโฆWe came here to kidnap you, Ms. Makarov.โ Before she could react, she felt a handkerchief placed on her nose and she tried to fight back, but the men were strong and she wasnโt able to control her breathing as she caught a whiff of the strong smell in the handkerchief. She looked back to Vivienne who she met her gaze, looking at the scene with wide eyes and realizing it too. Vivienne tried to loosen his grip and run instantly but one of the men tried to catch her but was stopped by Vivienneโs bodyguards. The man was more powerful as he was quick to fire his pistol at Vivienneโs bodyguards, killing them. Vivienneโs scared doe eyes who were staring back at her were the last thing Aurora saw as she blacked out. I should have listened to my mom when she s
