|Aurora|..*..*..*..*...Amanda descanted down the stairs, with an apple in her hand as she took bite of it while her eyes focused at her son. She looked at her son, with a mixture of amusement and approval. A genuine smile played on Amanda's lips, adding an extra layer of uneasiness to me.Her eyes met yours, and that guileless smile remained, "Hey Aurora, you have come? Why do you standing at the gate, come inside."- Her voice relaxed, as I stood there like a fool. I felt the weight of humiliation and heartbreak intertwining. Amanda's eyes moved from her son to the young woman cradled in his lap and took her seat. There was pleasant satisfaction in her look, rather than disbelief or disgust as if she was approving of his son's actions.Caught in the crossfire of emotions, I stood witness to the betrayal not only by my husband but also by a mother-in-law who appeared to take perverse pleasure in the crumbling of my heartbreak.As tears continued to stream down my face, the overwhelm
|Aurora| ..*..*..*... The shock of his words reverberated through me. "You will not disrespect my guest, Aurora. I won't tolerate it he declared, asserting his dominance. "Guest" echoed in my mind like a cruel joke "That woman is not my guest, and she'll not stay a second in my house. Do you hear me? I want her out right now," I asserted, attempting to reclaim some semblance of control. Rayn's mocking laughter continued, cutting through the air like a sharp blade. "Your house!" he exclaimed, his tone dripping with condescension. "For your information, this house is under my name, and not only this house but also everything which was under your name is now under my name and my mother's." The revelation sent a chill down my spine, I looked at Amanda, and I turned my gaze toward Amanda, I found an unsettling uneasiness still present in her eyes, all her attention was her apple, seemingly indifferent to the emotional storm brewing just a few steps away. "Seriously, Rayn, what are yo
|Author Pov|..*..*..*...Aurora sat on bed, she was sent to her room, whereas Amanda was now with Lucas, her heart was still beating in fear that Amanda will do something with her little brother. Tears were streaming from her eyes as the door opened, entering Rayn.She angrily got up from bed and stormed towards him holding him by his collar, “Don’t you dare to do anything with my brother, Rayn.” – She stated, her body was shivering under rage. Her eyes were red so was the tip of her nose.Rayn narrowed his eyes at her words, and then his eyes fell on her hand, “Leave my collar, Aurora.”- He gritted his teeth, he despised repeating his words, he hates when people didn’t show him any respect and this girl had the audacity to grab his collar and asked questions.Rayn's frustration boiled over. In a swift and forceful motion, he seized her hand and spun her around, his grip unyielding. He pressed her back against his solid chest; Aurora winced as he twisted her hand, a sharp hiss escapi
|Author Pov| ..*..*..*... Slowly opening her heavy eyelids, Aurora tried to get up. As she propped herself up on her elbows, a dull throb pulsed through her temples. The room spun momentarily, and she took a deep breath, trying to collect herself. She found herself lying on her bed. Her eyes finally realized she was in her room, the familiarity around her made her uneasy as if something was out of place. "How much lower can these people go?" she wondered, her mind echoing with disbelief. The tears that had gathered at the corners of her eyes now spilled over, tracing a path down her cheeks. She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. She remember really well how Amanda held the handkerchief close to her nose and forced her to inhale that harmful substance so that she can lose her consciousness and then they can do whatever they want. But as her surroundings came back into focus, a perplexing realization dawned on her. She was still in her own bedroom. The questions echoe

The legacy of the Taylor family was not just about financial success; it was also about maintaining a certain level of dignity and responsibility.Susan Harding possessed a beauty that turned head
Same night Aurora sat alone in her dimly lit room, the weight of the past few weeks pressing down on her shoulders. The walls seemed to close in as the silence enveloped her. She hadn't eaten for the last thirty hours, her appetite swallowed by the turmoil within. Her mind replayed the events of the past few weeks like a haunting film. The loss of her mother had been a devastating blow, leaving an emptiness that seemed impossible to fill now the life of her brother was at the edge of knife. Aurora's exhaustion went beyond the physical; it was a weariness that seeped into her soul. The constant worry, the sleepless nights, and the emotional toll had taken their toll. She felt drained, like a vessel emptied of everything that once defined her. A surge of anger coursed through Aurora's veins as she dwelled on the betrayal inflicted by Amanda. The mere thought of how Amanda had played with her mother's trust fueled a boiling rage within her. The betrayal cut deep, leaving wounds that
The room fell into a heavy silence as his words hung in the air, she could feel the weight of his gaze, like a predator sizing up its prey, it sent shivers down her spine. Her eyes looked at him bewildered, the words felt like a hiss of gasoline which was burning her entire being.Aurora's groans of pain echoed through the confined space as Rayn mercilessly tightened his grip on her hair. Each tug felt like fiery tendrils of agony, shooting through her scalp and down her spine. She groaned in pain as Rayn tightened his grip on her hair, dragging her helplessly upstairs. Despite her efforts, she couldn't loosen his hold, each step intensifying the torment.As her heart pounded in her chest, she was scared now what he’ll do with her since this look of him she never anticipated, he looked devil who was hungry for its prey. She never imagined her sweet gentle caring husband was monster in human form.Rayn's grip tightened and a cruel sneer twisted his face as he continued dragging her m
| Author Pov |..*..*..*...His footsteps echoed, in the hall, each step resonating with an intensity matching the turmoil within him. His eyes were now dark, clouded by an unsettling rage that seemed to consume him. As he walked, all he could see was red. His eyes looked like a satan descending on the world.Every words of their earlier rang into his ear-------“The burn is severe, Mrs. Anderson. It’ll take a lot of time,” he said, his voice carrying the weight of the diagnosis whereas Rayn just stood there seeing his mother writhing in pain.Amanda winced in pain, her eyes watering. "Aahh….I can’t endure anymore, please give me something so that this pain will lessen a bit. Please…”Doctor Anderson maintained a calm demeanor, understanding the agony she was experiencing. "You have to endure a bit, Mam," he reassured his tone compassionate but firm. "I'll prescribe pain medication to help manage the discomfort, but the recovery process will take time. We need to ensure we're treating
(Epilogue) |You are way slower than tortoise| . lRayn| 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
|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
|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 e
|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!” sh
| 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 th
|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,
|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
|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
