Stay tuned for the next chapter.
|What the fuck |….The sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Aurora's face. Rayn couldn’t help but stare at her, mesmerized by her calm and serene expression. The years had added a maturity to her features that made her even more beautiful in his eyes. As the sunlight kissed her skin, she looked ethereal, almost too perfect to be real.Both shares same bed but still there was no intimacy between them Rayn didn’t want to make thing fast as things were already awkward between them and he didn’t want to repeat his mistake like he did in his past. He wanted to make thing slow. Intimacy was something he wanted to rebuild slowly, with care and respect.Sighing softly, Rayn slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her. He freshened up and headed to the kitchen. Sundays were special—no work, no rush—just family time. He decided to make breakfast for Aurora and Irene, hoping to start the day with a smile on their faces.As he cracked eggs and flipped pancakes, Aurora
|Will you believe me?|.Aurora brought hot bag as she pressed on her legs, whereas Lisa lied on bed and Rayn staring the whole scene standing at the door frame, he didn’t know what he should do, should he tell Aurora about Lisa that she was the one with whim he had slept while she was engaged with her and now she was behaving like a obsessed even after all these years.Rayn sighed deeply, after so many years finally things started to set at its place and he didn’t want to ruin it and for sure he won’t let ruin anything,His thoughts were interrupted by Aurora’s voice. “How did this happen? You were fine just a few minutes ago,” she asked, concern evident in her tone.Lisa let out a small whimper, looking up at Aurora with wide, pitiful eyes. “Honestly, I don’t know. I just wanted to go to the bathroom, but I tripped and fell. I’m so sorry for causing you trouble, Aurora. I’ll leave right away so I don’t burden you anymore.”As she tried to get up, Lisa moaned loudly in pain,
| I am stupid|….Aurora opened the package and her heart fell as she saw the pictures of Rayn and Lisa sleeping together on bed, tears started to gather at the corner of her eyes as she stood there like a stone. Aurora already noticed the uneasiness with Rayn when Lisa was around them even she asked him if anything was bothering him or not? But he denied simply saying it’s the work stress and nothing to worry.Her mind raced. She had sensed something was off with Rayn ever since Lisa arrived. The uneasy glances, his discomfort around Lisa, the way he avoided answering her questions about what was troubling him—all of it now made sense. He had lied. He had betrayed her trust, just when she had begun to believe in him again. He ignored Lisa in the presence of Aurora only that he can go behind her back to sleep with her and not to make any suspicion.She laughed, she felt so dumb for trusting this man again, and why she she didn’t even knows.Aurora’s fingers trembled as she clutched t
|At all cost|.the door opened, Rayn’s eyes widened in shock, and Irene immediately jumped from his arms and ran to Aurora.“Mom, why are you sitting on the floor like this?” Irene asked, her young face full of concern. She noticed Aurora’s red, tear-stained eyes and frowned, “Momma, are you crying?”Aurora didn’t know how to respond. Her heart felt heavy, and the pain of betrayal was written all over her face. She wanted to lash out at Rayn, scream at him for everything, but she couldn’t—not in front of her little girl.She quickly wiped her tears and tried to steady her voice. “Please, sweetheart, go to your room. Momma needs to talk about something important, something for adults.”But Irene, being stubborn, shook her head. “No! I want to stay here. Why can’t you talk in front of me? You always say I’m mature and grown-up!” she whined, her voice quivering with frustration.Aurora’s patience was hanging by a thread. “Irene, I said go to your room. No more talking—just go!” s
|It's not easy|.Aurora stumbled outside, her vision blurred by tears as the cold night air wrapped around her. She felt lost, her heart heavy with guilt and regret. The events of the night played over and over in her mind, leaving her restless and full of doubt. Where could Rayn have gone? Her heart ached as she recalled the confrontation, his desperate pleas, and the pain in his eyes. Despite everything, there was something about his words that lingered. They had felt... true. Genuine.She checked the camera after he left the mansion in the middle of the night, he didn’t take anything with him, not a single pair of clothes.After the confrontation when Auroa went to her room, crying badly all she can think of Rayn’s words and how it felt so real, Rayn had confessed everything before without cutting short or hiding anything and but this time he denied, he denied every accusation what Aurora threw at him.Aurora hurriedly went to check the camera, she had installed camera
|Little family|.It had been months since Lisa's chapter ended. After Aurora filed a police complaint against her for manipulation and blackmail, Lisa was fined $5,000 and given a restraining order. Though she didn’t face jail time, the incident brought a sense of closure for Aurora and Rayn. They were ready to focus on their family again.Rayn decided to plan a small vacation for Aurora and their daughter Irene. When Irene heard about the trip, she was overjoyed. Her excitement reached the clouds as She exclaimed, “No homework? No books? Yay!” Her laughter filled the house as she packed her little backpack with her favorite toys and snacks.The family went to Irene’s dream destination—a wonderland filled with rides, games, and endless fun. Irene’s bucket list for the trip was long, and she was determined to do it all. She raced from one attraction to another, her parents laughing as they tried to keep up with her energy. She squealed with delight on the small merry-go-roun
|You are way slower than tortoise|.Rayn|The room seemed to freeze as our eyes locked, the air thick with tension. My pulse thundered in my ears, each beat reminding me of how long it had been—eleven long years without intimacy. It felt foreign, almost as if I were a virgin all over again, stepping into unknown territory.Her gaze was intense, her expression unreadable yet inviting. I could feel my body tense, the proximity between us amplifying the storm inside me. The last thing I wanted was to make her think this was just about physical closeness. I'd messed up once before and vowed never to repeat that mistake.“Kiss me,” she whispered, her voice soft yet commanding.For a moment, I wasn’t sure if I’d heard her correctly. My eyes widened, and my heart thudded like a drumline, so loud I thought she might hear it. Her face leaned closer, and I felt my breath hitch. For the first time in my life, I was scared—not of rejection, but of this moment itself, of intimacy, of mes
A girl standing in the middle, her delicate fingers were tightly clenched around the fabric of her dress, a feeble attempt to protect herself from this upcoming storm. This room once filled with immense love and felt like a haunting echo. Her tear-stained eyes reflected the immense pain she was feeling inside her, as if it tearing her apart. She couldn’t believe her eyes who was staring at her with so much hate in his eyes. His gaze, once warm but now those barbaric eyes sent shivers down her spine. It was a look she couldn't comprehend, was he the same man or the man in front of her was some stranger? “Are not you going to spread these pretty long legs for me like you did before on our first night?”- his dark eyes spoke as those venomenous words fell from his mouth tearing her heart into million pieces, his eyes roaming on her half naked body ditching every shame. She couldn’t believe in her ears, The vows he took at alter was sacred, He had promised to her love her, protect her, f

|Don't let me down this time|.Rayn hurriedly finished up his paperwork as the clock ticked past seven. He had promised Irene he would be home to watch a Disney movie with her, and he didn’t want to disappoint her. Grabbing his things, he made his way out of the hotel.In his haste, he accidentally bumped into someone, sending her belongings scattering onto the ground."I’m so sorry, ma’am!" Rayn apologized immediately, bending down to gather the fallen items. The woman didn’t say anything, just stared at him with an expression whereas he was busy at picking things.Once he’d picked everything up, Rayn straightened, handing the bag back to her. "Here, I’m really sorry. I wasn’t paying attention."When his eyes met hers, he froze. Those misty, famiLisar eyes stared back at him. It was Lisa.Time seemed to stop for both of them. Rayn’s heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to process the shock. The last time he saw Lisa was years ago—on that trip to Paris with Aurora, whe
|The better Version|.After the party ended, Aurora headed for a shower. Irene was already fast asleep, completely worn out from all the running and playing with her friends. I couldn’t help but chuckle—my little girl had so much energy. One day, I wouldn’t be surprised if she won a marathon.Lucas, on the other hand, went out with his friends. Before leaving, he shot me a look and said, "You make me sick," before slamming the door behind him.After the party I started tidying up. Irene’s books were scattered all over the table. then I found one of her drawings. It made me pause. She had drawn our little family—Aurora, Irene, Lucas and me. My chest tightened as I stared at the picture. She had included me, her dad, in her little world. I glanced at her sleeping face, peaceful and innocent, and for the first time in a long while, I felt warmth I couldn’t describe.Afterward, I went to my room to shower. As I dried off, I stood in front of the mirror. I stood before the mirror
