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 POVThe sharp, twisting pain shot through my lower abdomen like a dagger. My hand instinctively cradled my stomach as I leaned against the kitchen counter, my breaths coming in short, shaky bursts. Fear gripped me as the pain intensified, leaving me momentarily paralyzed.“Dominic!” I called out, my voice weak and trembling.Within seconds, Dominic was by my side, his face etched with worry. “Aurora, what’s wrong? Tell me!”“It’s my stomach,” I gasped, clutching his arm for support. “Something’s wrong, Dominic. It hurts so much.”Without hesitation, he scooped me up into his arms and carried me to the couch, laying me down gently. “Stay here. I’m calling the doctor right now,” he said, his voice firm but laced with panic.I watched as he grabbed his phone and made the call, pacing the room like a caged lion. “Doctor Carter, I need you at my house immediately. Aurora’s stomach is in pain. Get here now!”I tried to steady my breathing, but the pain was relentless. Dominic knelt

His touch was the only thing grounding me as fear churned in my chest.Finally, the door opened, and Dr. Bennett walked in, holding a folder in her hand. Her expression was serious, her brows drawn together as she met Dominic’s piercing gaze.“We’ve run the tests,” she said, her voice steady but grave. “The results confirm my earlier suspicion.” She took a deep breath before continuing. “Aurora has been poisoned.”My breath hitched, my heart racing. Poisoned? The word echoed in my mind like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.Dominic shot to his feet, his entire body radiating fury. “What kind of poison? How did this happen?” His voice was sharp, demanding answers.Dr. Bennett held up a hand to calm him. “It’s a slow-acting toxin, likely administered over a period of time. Based on the symptoms an

Soon, very soon, I would hear the news. I'd been eagerly waiting for, the perfect reward for all my efforts.Aurora had to pay for taking everything from me. I could still see her smug face, her innocent act as if she hadn’t stolen Dominic’s attention, his heart, and the life that should have been mine. But now, she’d know what it felt like to lose.The poison… it was genius. Administered in such small doses over time, Aurora wouldn’t even suspect it until it was too late. And the baby? Well, that was just collateral damage in my war against her.A dark chuckle escaped my lips as I thought back to my last days at Dominic’s house. The way I’d moved around, smiling sweetly, playing the part of the innocent victim who’d just been "misunderstood." Dominic had no clue what I’d done, and neither did she.I ha

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.

    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!

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?

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.

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."
