Aurora's POV

Dominic drove out of the house without his usual entourage of bodyguards. It was unusual, but I wasn’t about to question it. The sleek black car cut through the roads, and for a moment, I allowed myself to enjoy the feeling of freedom. The city looked alive, bustling with energy, and the sunlight streaming through the windows gave the illusion that everything was fine.

But it wasn’t.

Dominic’s grip on the steering wheel was tight, his jaw set in a hard line. His silence was deafening, and the weight of unspoken words between us was almost unbearable. I tried to push my curiosity aside, to focus on the idea of getting pampered at the stylist, but it gnawed at me.

As the car glided down the highway, I finally broke the silence. “I know we talked about this last night,” I said softly, my voice breaking the stillness, “but I still have a lot of questions that I really need answers to.”

Dominic’s eyes flicked toward me briefly before returning to the road. His expression didn’

    Aurora's POVThe drive was smooth, the hum of the car’s engine filling the silence between us. I couldn’t help but glance at Dominic from time to time, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his jaw set in a way that made it clear he was deep in thought.I looked out of the window, watching as the city lights began to fade, replaced by long stretches of road and open fields. It didn’t take me long to realize that this wasn’t the way home.I straightened in my seat, my brows furrowing. “Dominic, this isn’t the road to the house,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Where are we going?”He didn’t answer immediately, his eyes focused on the road ahead. The tension in the car was palpable, and I felt my heart begin to race.Finally, he spoke, his voice low and almost hesitant. “I’m taking you somewhere.”“Somewhere?” I repeated, my unease growing. “Can you be a little more specific? Because right now, I’m not exactly reassured.”Dominic glanced at me briefly before returning hi

    Aurora's POVDominic returned moments later, After taking his call, his eyes filled with an intensity I hadn’t seen before. Whatever the call was, it had left him on edge. Yet, the moment he looked at me, it was as if all that tension melted away, replaced by something raw and unrelenting.Before I could ask what the call was about or if everything was okay, he was in front of me. His hands gripped my face, pulling me up from my seat. His lips crashed onto mine with a desperation that sent shivers down my spine.“Dominic—” I barely managed to whisper, my words swallowed by his kiss.“No,” he murmured against my lips, his voice a low growl. “No more interruptions. No more questions tonight. I just… I need you, Aurora. Just you.”The world seemed to blur as his lips claimed mine again and again, each kiss more intense than the last. My heart raced, my body trembling under his touch as he tilted my head to deepen the kiss. His fingers tangled in my hair, while his other hand found its wa

    Aurora’s POVDominic’s expression darkened the moment I asked the question. His body tensed slightly, and I could see the hesitation in his eyes. He exhaled slowly, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the blanket."Why do you always find it so hard to talk about your past?" I asked again, my voice softer this time, hoping he would finally let me in.His gaze flickered to me, something unreadable swimming in those dark depths. "Because some things are better left buried," he murmured.I frowned. "But you’re not the only one in this anymore, Dominic. I need to understand you, to know what you’ve been through. How can we move forward if you keep shutting me out?"His jaw tightened, his lips pressing into a thin line. Just when I thought he might finally answer, his phone buzzed on the blanket between us, shattering the fragile moment.Dominic cursed under his breath and picked up the phone. His entire demeanor shifted in an instant—from the man who had just been vulnerable with me to th

Harder this time.I felt the car swerve dangerously close to the edge of the road, the city lights in the distance blurring as panic clouded my mind.“Hold on,” Dominic warned.And then….He spun the wheel sharply to the right.The tires screamed as the car swerved off the main road, kicking up dust and gravel as we shot onto a dirt path.The car behind us hesitated for a moment before following.My breathing was ragged. “Dominic, what do we do?”His jaw clenched. “We don’t stop.”The road was rough, the car jolting violently as Dominic maneuvered through the uneven terrain. I could see the outline of trees ahead—a dense forest.And that’s when I realized his plan.He was leading them into the woods.My heart slammed against my ribs. “Are you crazy?”My heart pounded in my chest as I clutched my seatbelt. The headlights in the rearview mirror grew brighter, closing the distance between us."Dominic,

    Aurora's POV A massive black truck was parked across the main road ahead, completely blocking our path. Its headlights were off, its presence ominous.They were waiting for us.“Dominic…” My voice barely came out.“I see them,” he muttered.The truck didn’t move. It was as if they were taunting us, waiting for us to come closer before making their next move.Dominic’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his jaw clenching. For a split second, I thought he might try to ram through, but then his gaze flicked to the side—A narrow side street.Without warning, he twisted the wheel and veered sharply into the small road. My body slammed into the door from the sudden turn, my heart racing as we barely squeezed through the tight alleyway.The tires skidded against the pavement as Dominic navigated through the maze of narrow streets, dodging dumpsters and parked cars. The further we went, the darker and more unfamiliar the surroundings became.I turned in my seat, expecting to see t

I could still hear the voice from the call replaying in my head—“You must die on that road tonight.”My stomach churned. Whoever was behind this wasn’t done yet.And I was right.Just as we turned onto a seemingly empty street—a black SUV screeched to a stop in front of us, blocking our path.Dominic slammed the brakes, the tires screeching against the pavement. My body lurched forward, but my seatbelt yanked me back.Then—gunfire erupted.Glass shattered as bullets ripped through the windshield. I screamed, ducking instinctively as Dominic cursed under his breath.Without hesitation, he yanked open the glove compartment, grabbing a sleek black gun.“Stay down,” he ordered, his voice deadly calm.But I barely had time to process his words before he shoved open his door and returned fire.The deafening sound of gun

Then, finally, he nodded.The room was dimly lit, casting shadows across Dominic’s face as he sat on the edge of the bed, his injured arm resting on his lap. His shirt was already stained with blood, and the sight made my chest tighten.“You need to take that off,” I said softly, reaching for his sleeve.Dominic raised an eyebrow but didn’t protest as I carefully unbuttoned his shirt. The fabric was sticky with blood, and I had to be gentle as I peeled it away from his skin. His body tensed slightly, but he didn’t make a sound.As soon as his shirt was off, I swallowed hard.Even injured, he looked… breathtaking.His toned chest and sculpted muscles were covered in scars—some old, some new, each telling a story I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. But it was his eyes that caught me. Dominic was staring at me.There was something in his gaze—something dark, intense, undeniably captivating.I forced myself to focus. This wasn’t the ti

His sharp eyes darkened as he reached for his gun, his movements smooth, calculated.I held my breath, watching as he pressed his ear against the wooden door. Silence.Then another knock.Dominic slowly turned the doorknob, cracking the door open just enough to peek outside. His entire body remained still, his grip tightening on the gun.My heart pounded in my chest. Was it them? Had they already found us?I inched closer, straining to hear.Then I heard it—a low voice muttering something.After a moment, Dominic let out a quiet breath and shut the door.“It’s just a waiter,” he murmured, tucking the gun into the waistband of his pants. “He’s knocking on the next door.”Relief flooded me, but it was short-lived.Dominic’s face was still hard, his expression unreadable. Something still wasn’t right.I frowned. “You think someone sent him?”Dominic exh

No one deserves to die!"I did not lower the gun. "Aurora, say nothing.

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 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
