Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 41: The Worries
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. You were tr

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

Isabella’s POVThe door slammed behind me with a deafening finality as I walked out of Dominic’s house. My chest burned with rage, my hands trembling as I clutched the bag I had hastily packed. The humiliation of being thrown out of being exposed gnawed at me like a relentless fire.Dominic had chosen her. Aurora. The woman who had taken everything from me: his attention, his trust, and now, the future I had so carefully envisioned.I slid into my car and gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. “This isn’t over,” I muttered through clenched teeth. My mind raced with anger and betrayal. How dare he treat me like this? After everything I had endured, after everything my father had done for him!I had played my role perfectly pretending to care, pretending to be loyal but Dominic had seen through it all. And it was all because of her. Aurora had wormed her way into his life and his heart, and now, she was carrying his child. The thought made my stomach churn.I dr

Isabella’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed in my new apartment, my thoughts running wild as I replayed every moment I’d shared with Aurora in Dominic’s house. My hands clenched the bedsheet tightly as a memory surfaced—a memory that suddenly seemed much more important than I’d realized at the time.It was the day I had confronted Aurora with the picture of Dominic’s late girlfriend. Her reaction had been… strange. I had expected a hint of discomfort, maybe even jealousy, but what I saw instead was panic. Her face had paled, her eyes darting nervously, and her hands trembled as she tried to dismiss it as “just another picture from the past.”But that wasn’t it. I knew there was more to her reaction. She had been hiding something, and now that I thought about it, her behavior made no sense. Why would she be so shaken by a photo of a woman Dominic had loved in the past, someone who was gone and couldn’t compete with her? Unless…I stood and began pacing the room, my mind racing. Was it

Isabella's POV The gears in my mind turned as I began to piece together my plan. Step by step, I would uncover Aurora’s secrets and use them to take back what was mine. And when the truth came out, Dominic wouldn’t just hate her, he’d regret ever letting her into his life.For now, I just needed to stay patient and play my part. Aurora’s downfall would be the sweetest victory of all.Aurora’s POVThe air felt lighter without Isabella around. I could finally breathe without feeling her suffocating presence lingering over me. The house seemed quieter, calmer, almost peaceful. Dominic had assured me she wouldn’t be back, and while part of me believed him, another part couldn’t help but wonder what her next move would be.Isabella was manipulative, cunning, and determined. She didn’t leave quietly, and I knew better than to think she’d give up so easily. If there was one thing I’d learned about her, it was that she didn’t take no for an answer, especially when it came to Dominic.Still,

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.

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. Leo’s tone hinted at a brewing storm, something was amiss, and it was connected to all Patrick mess up.I looked around my spacious office, a modern sanctuary of power and precision. I looked at the table, files and papers on my desk, I need to go through them before I leave. I looked at the digital screens flashing confidential data, and the quiet hum of the air conditioner were all part of the daily ritual. But today, a sense of foreboding

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

Dominic's POV Later that day, on my way back to my private office in my skyscraper headquarters, a peculiar envelope caught my eye on the gleaming mahogany desk. The embossed crest was unmistakable, a symbol of one of the most influential families in our universe , and the stylish calligraphy inside read like a proclamation. an invitation to a birthday party attended by all the Big Four families. I clutched it delicately, a shiver of anticipation running through me as I realized that this evening's gathering was more than a social function. It was a stage for power plays, allegiances to be re-made, and old scores to be settled.I folded the invitation into my pocket, already planning in advance on how I would capitalize on this. However, I did not have long to indulge myself in scheming, as there was another problem that had to be taken care of, Aurora's health.

Aurora's POVAfter eating that morning, My mom was already back in her room. I want to meet her to discuss what Joanna has just mentioned on the call earlier. I walked through the hallway. I was almost close to my mother's room door when I had her speaking to someone on the phone, the voice sounds familiar. But it seems like my mom had her own plans, before I could open the door Dominic called me, “Aurora please I need to speak with you", I have been looking around for you but I didn't know you're here. Dominic's voice was low and it sounds like something is really bothering him. He took my arms. When I looked into his eyes I saw something like fair written all over his face, “Aurora, please don't do anything without telling me,” I overheard you talking to someone on a phone call last night, I know that you're up to something. "I know that Leo Levine will still come after me for hiding you from him but I want to control the situation,” I still have everything in control just be pati

Patrick cursed under his breath. With a frustrated groan, he tore himself away from Isabella, grabbing his phone. He saw Eva’s name flashing again.He kissed Isabella one last time, deep and slow, as if he couldn’t bear to leave. Then, he pulled back, his forehead resting against hers. "I have to go now. 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. As soon as he pulled up in the driveway, he stepped out of the car, adjusting his jacket as he made his way inside.The moment he entered the house, Eva was already standing by the staircase, arms crossed, a sharp glare in her eyes. “So you wouldn’t have come

Isabella poured another glass of whiskey, her fingers slightly unsteady as she leaned against the bar. The bottle was nearly empty, but she didn’t care. The warm burn in her throat and the dizzy haze in her mind made everything feel lighter, more distant. She tilted her head back, taking another long sip before setting the glass down with a heavy thud."You know, Patrick," she slurred, her lips curling into a lazy smirk, "I think we make a good team. Don’t you?"Patrick sat on the couch, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, a lazy grin on his face. His own glass of whiskey hung loosely from his fingers as he took another sip. The warmth of the alcohol had settled deep in his veins, clouding his judgment, making him care less about everything else except the woman in front of him."Of course, Isabella," he muttered, his voice slower than usual. "We’re the perfect team. You get rid of Aurora, and I get to destroy Dominic. Everyone wins."Isabella laughed, the sound soft and a little breathl
