Aurora's POV

I hummed softly, putting the last touches on setting the table, the tantalizing aroma of the just-prepared meal hanging in the air. I settled for something simple but comfortable: roast chicken with vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a light salad. Dominic had been busy all day, and I wanted to make sure he could just relax and have a hearty meal.

I looked toward the stairs, wondering what was taking him so long. He had gone upstairs shortly after arriving, and I could tell that something was bothering him. The curiosity was gnawing at me, but I decided not to press. Dominic would share when he was ready.

Right on cue, I heard the creak of his feet on the stairs. I turned to see him enter the dining room; his face softened as our eyes met. He was lighter, somehow, as if a weight had been taken off him.

"Just in time," I smiled, gesturing toward the table. "Dinner's ready."

Dominic moved across the room and tugged me gently from behind, wrapping his arms around me as I set t

    Joanne POV I paced my room, my phone clutched in my hand so tightly my knuckles were white. For the tenth time, I redialed Aurora's number, putting the phone to my ear, ringing in my head. With each ring unanswered, my frustration continued to build. Why isn't she answering? My mind could think of a thousand reasons and none of them good.Aurora was supposed to be in Patrick's room, under control, where she belonged. Now, though, she was gone-vanished, rather. I tried calling once more, already my patience wore thin as for the third time I listened to her voicemail message. "Aurora, you better call me back," I hissed into the phone, ending the call. You're not getting away with this.My fingers drummed against the phone as I weighed my next move. Patrick finding out about Aurora's escape would be a complete disaster. I needed to sort this out before it spiraled out of control. Aurora thought she could outsmart me? I clenched my jaw, anger bubbling beneath the surface. She has no idea

    Aurora POV My breath caught in my throat, and panic rose as I tried to compose myself. They were here, at the same party, masked but not enough to hide from me.Dominic, feeling the sudden tension in me, pulled back an inch or so, his eyes searching mine. "Aurora, what's wrong?"I forced a bright smile onto my lips, shaking my head. "It's nothing," I lied, my voice trembling. "Just… the crowd."He frowned but nodded, pulling me closer again, trying to soothe my nerves. But my mind was racing, a whirlwind of thoughts and fears. Patrick was here, with Eva. And they had seen us—or worse, recognized me.I needed a moment to myself-to get out of this stuffy, hot ballroom and away from the stifling presence of Patrick and Eva. I leaned in and whispered to Dominic that I needed to freshen up, and he nodded, distracted at the moment by a passing waiter offering drinks.I slipped away, weaving through the throng of masked guests, my heart hammering in my chest. The restroom was at the far end

    Aurora POV "Pull over," I urged, unbuckling my seatbelt. "I'll drive."Dominic nodded weakly and eased the car to the side of the road; he barely was able to stop before slumping over the steering wheel. I quickly slid over into the driver's seat-my hands shaking-so I grasped the wheel firmly. The black car was closing in, and I knew we didn't have much time.Taking a deep breath, I put the car into gear and floored the accelerator. The tires shrieked as we shot back onto the road, the sudden jolt yanking Dominic forward somewhat, though his eyes remained unfocused.The black car closed in, full speed, right behind us. I glanced sideways at Dominic; he was white, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. "Stay with me, Dominic," I whispered more to myself than to him.The streets became a blur as I pushed the car to its limits, weaving in and out of traffic, making sharp turns left and right, trying to lose our pursuers. My pulse was racing, every nerve in my body on high alert. I

    Aurora's POVI took a moment to steady myself before leaning down to lift Dominic again. His weight leaned onto me, and I pulled him, draping his arm across my shoulder as we made our way toward the stairs. His feet dragged slightly, and I had to use every ounce of strength in my body to help him up the steps one tortuously slow, labored step at a time.We're almost there, I whispered, more for myself than him, as we reached the top of the stairs finally. His head was leaned against mine; his breathing shallow but regular. The hallway was dimly lit, and it seemed even surreal compared to the chaos of the night.I opened the door to our bedroom with my foot and guided Dominic inside with care. The bed stood invitingly in the middle of the room, and I led him towards it, lowering him onto the edge to land with a soft thud. He hunched forward, his hands barely grasping the edge of the mattress, his head hung low.I knelt before him, the gentleness with which my fingers moved to his button

    Aurora's POVDominic's hands slid up my body, sending shivers across my skin. His palms cupped my breasts, massaging them gently before his mouth latched on to one, his lips surrounding my nipple. A gasp escaped me as he ran his tongue over the sensitive peak; the feeling was so strong it bowed my back, pressing more of me against him.He moved to my other breast, lavishing it with the same attention, his hot, insistent mouth. My nipples were hard and so sensitive, each suck and flick sending tremors along my body. His hands continued to roam, one trailing down my stomach, dipping below the waistband of my panties.His fingers located my pussy, which was wet and prepared by then. One finger inside he went slowly; he pumped his finger deliberately into me to torment me without haste. Moans well up because of his sucking my breasts while pressing a digit in and out inside my interior wall.Dominic added a second finger, stretching me, and curled them just right to strike that perfect sp

    Aurora POVThe first rays of dawn pierced the curtains, casting a soft golden glow upon the room. I stirred slightly, still wrapped in the warmth of sleep, but somehow, I felt the subtle shift in the atmosphere-Dominic was awake.I opened my eyes just enough to see him standing by the window, his back to me. His broad shoulders were bare; his body was naked from the events of the night before. My eyes traced the well-marked muscles of his back, the way his skin seemed to shimmer in the soft morning light. He did not move, standing as if lost in thought, and I could tell he was trying to piece together the fragments of the night.Dominic ran a hand through his hair, languidly and on purpose. I watched him pick his phone off the nightstand-the expression on his face changed immediately as he saw the screen. The furrowing of his brows was on, and off went the silent tension rolling off him as he swiped through his missed calls, tightening his jaw with every passing second.I knew what he

    Aurora POV I went into a panic, my heart racing, breathing quickened, knees wanting to buckle. I pressed my back against the wall to try and steady myself. What had I just seen? Who were those men? And why had Dominic killed them so coldly?Before I could gather my thoughts, Dominic’s voice rang out, sharp and alert. "Who's there?" His words sent a jolt through me, and I knew I couldn’t hide any longer. My cover was blown.Slowly, I stepped away from the wall, the jacket still clutched in my trembling hands. I forced myself to walk toward the door, my steps unsteady but determined. The moment I appeared in the doorway, Dominic's eyes widened in shock, disbelief washing over his features.I stood there, frozen, holding his jacket. The warehouse was silent, the tension thick as Dominic stared at me, his expression a mixture of surprise and something else-something I couldn't quite place.I took a deep breath, and the weight of what lay before me was heavy upon my chest. I couldn't just

    Aurora's POVDominic led me farther into the room, to a section where targets were set at different distances away. He turned to a side table and picked up a handgun; he checked it with a knowing ease and handed it to me."Have you ever held a gun before?" he asked, his voice softening as he peered into my eyes.I shook my head, and the weighty feel of a weapon in my hands felt unreal, solid. "Never.""That is all right," he said with his voice calmly behind me; he reached for both my hands with a guiding light. "I teach. Basics first."His presence was reassuring as he positioned my hands correctly on the gun, his body close enough that I could feel his warmth against my back. "Keep your grip firm but not too tight. You want control, but you also need to let the gun do its work."I nodded, focusing on his words, the feel of his hands over mine. He was patient, his voice calm and steady as he explained each step."Now, align the sights with the target," Dominic continued, adjusting my

    Dominic’s POVWe moved in quietly, our steps light against the wooden floor. The house smelled of dampness and old cigarette smoke.As soon as we stepped inside, I saw her.She was sitting in a chair, her hands tied, her face pale but alert. The moment our eyes met, she froze.I could see the relief in her eyes, but also the fear. If she reacted, Patrick would notice. I quickly lifted a finger to my lips, signaling her to stay calm.Aurora’s lips pressed together, and she barely nodded. She understood.Patrick was standing a few feet away, his back turned as he spoke to Isabella."This is taking too long," Isabella snapped. "Joanna should be here by now!"Patrick sighed. "She’ll come. She has no choice."I glanced at my men. One wrong move, and Aurora could get hurt.I didn’t waste time.With one swift motion, I pulled out my gun and aimed it directly at Isabella and Patrick."Don’t. Move." My voice was cold, steady.They froze. Shock flashed across their faces. Isabella’s mouth opene

    Dominic’s POVI stared at the flash drive in my hand, my grip tightening. How could I be sure this was the real evidence? Patrick was a snake, I wouldn’t put it past him to hand me something useless just to trap me."How do I know this is real?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous.Patrick smirked, his confidence irritating me. "You don’t. But do you really have a choice, Dominic?"Before I could say another word, a weak but urgent voice cut through the tension."Dominic, don’t trust him!"My entire body froze. My eyes snapped to Aurora, who was still tied to the chair. Her lips were dry, and her eyes were filled with desperation.Patrick cursed under his breath, moving toward her, but I lifted my gun, stopping him in his tracks."What did you just say?" I asked Aurora.Patrick clenched his jaw and glared at her, but the moment he released the cloth gagging her mouth, Aurora gasped for air and spoke again, this time stronger."Dominic, that’s not the real flash drive!

His gaze shifted to Aurora. "Joanna is on her way here," Patrick said, a wicked smirk curling on his lips. "And she’s bringing Dominic’s baby with her."I froze, my breath catching for a moment. Dominic’s baby? I hadn’t expected that.Patrick chuckled, clearly enjoying my shock. "The moment she arrives with the child, Dominic will have no choice but to give up everything for me. His power, his wealth, his loyalty, everything."I narrowed my eyes, stepping closer. "Are you saying you plan to trade his own child for his empire?"Patrick shrugged. "Why not? Dominic isn’t stupid. He’ll do anything to protect what’s his. And if it means bending to my will, he’ll do it."I crossed my arms, watching him carefully. "And what if he refuses? What if he fights back?"Patrick exhaled another puff of smoke, his smirk never fal

Joanna and I clashed again, our hands grabbing, pushing, and striking at each other like wild animals.She lunged at me, her nails clawing at my face, but I ducked just in time. My fist connected with her stomach, making her stumble back with a sharp gasp."You witch!" she spat, her eyes filled with pure hatred.I didn’t waste a second. I spun around and grabbed the baby from the bed, holding the child close to my chest. My heart was racing.I needed to get out. Now.Joanna must have realized what I was trying to do because she let out a furious scream and charged at me again. I turned my back, shielding the baby, and felt her nails scrape against my arm, trying to pull me back."You're not leaving with that baby!" she shrieked.I kicked backward blindly, my foot slamming into her leg. She yelped, losing her balance for a moment. It was all the time I needed.I rushed toward the doo

You stole my inheritance, destroyed our family, and left me with nothing! You kept me away from Aurora, my own daughter, for years! And now you want to take her child too?” She shook her head furiously. “I will never let you have my grandchild!”I sighed, tilting my head. “You always did have a way of making yourself the victim, didn’t you?”Julie’s face twisted with anger. “You are the reason for everything! You lied, manipulated, and ruined my life. You wanted me gone, and you got what you wanted. But I won’t let you win this time.

    Dominic’s POVMy hands tightened around the steering wheel as I drove through the dark streets, the city lights flickering past like ghosts. My mind was racing, my chest tight with fear.Aurora’s signal had led me here, to Patrick’s old office building, not to the address he had given me.I knew Patrick. He was a snake. A master of deception. He wanted me to go to the wrong place while he did whatever sick thing he had planned.The tracking device on Aurora’s phone had been steady for the past few minutes, but then…“Sir, the tracking has stopped.”My heart slammed against my ribs.“What?” I barked, gripping the wheel tighter.“The signal just cut off. It’s gone.”Damn it.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. This wasn’t a coincidence. Patrick was covering his tracks. He must have found out Aurora had a tracker.I inhaled sharply, pushing down the wave of panic rising inside me.I couldn't afford to lose focus now."We’re still going to that building."
