Aurora POV

The line died, and Dominic placed the phone down with a sigh, running his hand through his hair. I could feel the tension already congealing in his shoulders, the weight of the world pressing down on him once again.

"You're meeting with Leo tomorrow?" I asked softly, sitting up beside him.

He nodded, his face unreadable. "Yeah. He's back, and he'll want an update."

I didn't need to ask what kind of update. The search for Amber Raven was one of those things that had been haunting Dominic since-ever, really-I'd known him. I knew better than to pry, especially when the matters involved Leo Levine. The less I knew, the safer I'd be-or so Dominic believed.

The rest of the day was a blur, because Dominic's meeting with Leo hung over our heads. By the time that hour of dread came, he kissed me softly before he left, and as was usual with him, his touch lingered, as though not to release me.

"Stay safe," I whispered inaudibly.

"You too," he said with an intense gaze. Then he was g

    Aurora's POV Isabella continued to flutter around, always the perfect actress. She was worried for me, as a friend should be; but inside, I knew all this was for show and tell. Her smile never reached her eyes, nor did her warmth feel anything but as cold as this winter wind outside. I could smell her plotting-scheming backstage. She was still going to turn me over to Patrick: deliver me like some pawn in whatever game it was that they were playing.Every time she walked into a room, tension would rise; Dominic seemed blind to her deceit, or he was too sidetracked with the larger threats to notice it. But I saw it, every sideways glance, every whisper behind closed doors, even every feigned interest in my wellbeing-it was all a performance, and I was the unwilling audience.One afternoon, I overheard her on the phone, speaking in hushed tones. "Yes, Patrick. Everything is going according to plan. Dominic and Aurora have no idea. I'll make sure she's delivered to you soon."My heart s

    Aurora's POVThe next morning dawned with a sense of uneasy calm. Dominic had left early for a meeting, leaving me alone in the mansion. I decided to head to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. As I moved through the house, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but I dismissed it as residual paranoia from the chaos surrounding us.I reached the kitchen, feeling the need for a warm cup of tea to settle my nerves. Isabella was already there, bustling around, seemingly busy with her own tasks. She greeted me with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. There was something unsettling about her, but I tried to brush it off, attributing my suspicion to the tense situation we were in.“I’ll make some tea,” I offered, walking towards the kettle on the stove.“No, let me,” Isabella said quickly, stepping in front of me. “You should rest, Aurora. You’ve been through a lot.”I hesitated but then nodded, thinking it best not to argue. I took a seat at the kitchen island, watch

    Aurora's POV “Dominic,” she whispered, barely audible, “could you… stay with me? Just for a little while?”I saw the conflict flicker in Dominic’s eyes. He wanted to check on me, I could feel it, but Isabella’s request had him torn. I clenched my jaw, watching as he hesitated, clearly uncomfortable with leaving me alone after what had happened earlier.But then, his desire to make sure Isabella was alright won out. He nodded slowly, giving her a reassuring smile. “Of course, Isabella. I’ll stay with you until you’re feeling better.”Isabella’s lips curved into a faint smile, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes despite her feigned weakness. Her plan was working perfectly, she was keeping Dominic away from me, ensuring that I was left alone and isolated, all while she played the victim.My stomach churned with frustration. I could see through her facade, but Dominic, ever the gentleman, couldn’t. He was blinded by his concern for her well-being, completely unaware of the sinister motives

    Aurora's POV I glanced at the faint smear of blood that had seeped through the bandage. It wasn’t much, just enough to make him notice. “It’s nothing,” I replied, trying to downplay it. “I didn’t want to bother you. You had enough on your plate with Isabella fainting.”His jaw tightened, and I could see the guilt weighing heavily on him. “That doesn’t matter. You come first, Aurora. Always.” His words were firm, but I could tell he was still torn, his thoughts muddled with the events of the night before.I gently pulled my hand away, offering him a small smile to ease his worry. “You need some rest, Dominic. You’ve been up all night. I’ll be fine, really. It’s just a small cut. I can take care of it.”He shook his head, clearly not convinced. “Aurora, you’ve been through so much. I should’ve been here with you, not—” He stopped himself, his expression darkening as he glanced back toward Isabella’s room.I placed a hand on his arm, squeezing gently. “Dominic, I understand.

    Aurora's POVThe days seemed to blur together in a haze of uncertainty and discomfort. No matter how much I tried to convince myself that I was fine, my body wasn’t cooperating. The sickness, it seemed, was only getting worse. It started out as nausea in the mornings, but now, it lingered throughout the day. I found myself feeling weak, my energy draining with every step I took.Dominic noticed it before I said a word. He had a way of looking at me, his sharp eyes scanning my face like he could read the very soul beneath. It didn’t escape him when I took a few extra moments to catch my breath or when I sat down longer than I should have."I’m calling a doctor," he said one afternoon, his voice firm, a tone I knew I shouldn’t argue with.I didn’t want to admit it to him, but I was terrified. Something didn’t feel right, and I was too scared to face what that might mean. My stomach churned with worry. Was something wrong with me? Was I simply sick, or was it something more?The doctor a

    Aurora's POV His smile was contagious, and despite the chaos surrounding us, something about it made my heart skip a beat. His happiness was so genuine, so pure, that I couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope, despite everything.Before I could respond, he leaned down, brushing a soft kiss across my forehead, a kiss that felt tender and full of promise. "I’m so happy, Aurora. You’re carrying my child."The words sent a rush of warmth through my chest. He hadn’t just kissed me out of duty or obligation, he kissed me like I mattered, like we mattered. The baby, us, everything.I looked up at him, my voice barely a whisper. "Dominic, this is all happening so fast… I didn’t even know. I’m still trying to understand it myself."He brushed a lock of hair from my face, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. "You don’t have to understand it all right now," he said softly. "What matters is that we’re in this together. I’ll be by your side every step of the way.

    Aurora's POVThe rest of the day passed in uneasy silence. Dominic was busy with calls and business matters, while I found myself wandering through the house, my mind heavy with thoughts of Isabella. The memory of her muttered threat haunted me, echoing in my head like a warning bell. I didn’t trust her, not for a second, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was planning something far worse than I could imagine.What I didn’t know was how quickly her plans were already set into motion.In another part of the city, Isabella was meeting Patrick. They sat in a dimly lit café, her face a mask of fake distress as she clutched her hands together, pretending to be a victim.“I can’t take it anymore, Patrick,” she said, her voice trembling with fake emotion. “Dominic is so blinded by Aurora. He doesn’t see how manipulative she is. She’s playing him, using her innocence to control him. And now, she’s pregnant.”Patrick’s face darkened at her words. “Pregnant? You’re sure?”Isabella nodded

    Aurora's POV There was a long silence before Dominic spoke again. “Thank you, Marco. Keep an eye on them. Let me know if you see anything else.”I quickly returned to the living room as Dominic emerged from his office, his expression unreadable.“Everything okay?” I asked again, trying to sound casual.He nodded but didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he walked toward the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water before turning to me.“Where’s Isabella?” he asked suddenly.“She’s upstairs,” I replied, confused by his sudden question.Dominic didn’t say anything as he headed toward the staircase. I followed him at a distance, watching as he knocked on Isabella’s door. She opened it a moment later, her face lighting up in an overly cheerful smile.“Dominic,” she greeted, her tone sweet. “What’s going on?”He crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe. “Did you meet up with Patrick today?”Isabella blinked, her smile faltering for just a second before she recovered. “Patrick? No. Why wo

    Aurora's POV Could it be that the same man who had once sworn to protect me was also hiding an ugly secret? My fingers trembled on the keyboard as I cut and pasted text into my paper. I knew I was playing with fire. But I had no other option. I had to know.The note on the door, the names on the list, the anonymous letter, each one hinted that there was a conspiracy so much larger than I could ever have imagined. And with each piece of evidence that I gathered, the more sinister the image became. I was very angry, and sad, and I was determined. I had to find out the truth about this secret no matter what it may cost me.In the quiet of my room, with nothing but the gentle hum of my laptop and the distant noises of the city outside my window, I swore silently. I would not allow these lost voices to fade into oblivion. I would learn the truth about them, even if it meant challenging the very authorities that had controlled my life.I couldn't help but wonder if someone, quite possibly

Leo’s summons were never casual. I closed my eyes briefly and replied, “I’m on my way. I’ll leave shortly.” I ended the call and sat back, my mind already churning with possibilities.

    Dominic's POV After breakfast, I returned to the muted elegance of our home, my mind reeling from the morning's persistent ringing and stealthy whispers. I entered the dining room to find Aurora's mother standing by the window, her face serene but with an undercurrent of suppressed disapproval. Her tone was measured when she finally spoke.You got in late last night, Dominic. We had all gone to bed well before that," she said to me, her eyes searching mine for an explanation I wasn't sure I wanted, or could give.I met her eyes calmly, knowing well enough not to let sentiment get in the way of the delicate balance of our arrangements. "I had business to attend to," I replied curtly, concealing the truth behind a mask of tranquility. There was little room for explanation in our business, where every minute had its own significance.Her eyes tightened slightly as she continued, "I have to discuss something… about Joanna. She threatened last time that she would tell Leo Levine that Auro

It’s urgent."Isabella pouted but let him go, watching as he stood up and grabbed his clothes. "Come back soon," she purred.Patrick didn’t reply, his mind was already shifting back to business. He had a feeling whatever Eva needed to tell him wasn’t good.They drove home, his mind still clouded with thoughts of Isabella, but Eva’s urgent call kept nagging at him. He knew she wouldn’t have called unless it was something serious.
