Chapter 2.
Aurora's POV. The door stood open just a crack, as if someone wanted it that way. That's when I could hear Richard's soft moans more louder... There he was, bare, kneeling on the bed, with a woman also naked, down on all fours in front of him, her back turned toward him... Her rear end was pressed up against him, and his C**k was deep inside her, feeling every inch. One hand gripped her hair, pulling her closer, while the other slid around her waist, driving into her with urgency... It felt like someone shot me in the heart. I was shaking, rage brewing inside me. My sight started to blur as I took in this betrayal... I still hadn't seen the woman's face yet. And just then, I heard Richard moan... again. "Oh Fuck, fuck... shit... you're so wet and sweet Ru" He groaned as he thrust against her backside. Ru? Hearing that name sent chills down my spine. My hand trembled as I pushed the door open a crack more. A sliver of light revealed the nightmare within. My head swam. It couldn't be. I had to see properly. I eased the door open wider, the hinges groaning softly. It was Ruby. My stomach lurched. I pressed a hand to my mouth, trying to stifle a sob. Richard... and Ruby? My breath hitched. My Richard. Everything felt surreal, like a twisted dream. It felt like I got hit in the throat, and suddenly my legs just felt like they were floating. This time, he runs his fingers up to her big breasts, big enough that his palms can easily cup them. He starts to squeeze her nipples so hard, while keeping his other hand on her hip, thrusting hard and rough as her body quivers with pleasure. "Richyy, keep going," Ruby moaned, her voice thick with longing. "Um, um... yes, yes, just like that... give it to me harder." She gasped, pushing herself against Richard's firm body for more pressure. I just stood there, frozen. I felt like I couldn't breathe or swallow. The air was thick with their sounds, with their betrayal. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes... my fingers clenched into fists... I was stuck there, unable to move, as I watched the betrayal unfold. Ruby, of all people? And Richard, the only man I’d ever truly loved? I was shaking... "Ruby, I'm about to lose it... damn! Fuck! This feels.... so damn good ahhh!" He gasped. She grinds back, panting as he dives deeper into her pu**y With each thrust, her screams echo, and her body trembles for more, craving the force behind his movements. Richard can’t hold back his moans, lost in the waves of pleasure. Oh, baby... I'm about to explode... Tell me... tell me you love me... more than that ugly bitch! Please tell me!!". With every thrust, Ruby's moans became louder, the heat between her legs rising like a flame. A wave of nausea washed over me. "Ugly bitch?" That was me. She was talking about me. But that was just the beginning... "Fuck, Ruby... I love you! More than anyone..." Each word was a shard of glass, piercing my heart. He said it. He actually said it. I'd never heard him say those words to me. No... I watched as Ruby buried her face in the pillow, making soft moans, while Richard grunted and groaned like a wild animal. They were completely immersed in their own little world, totally unaware of my presence. I wanted to scream, to run, to disappear. But my feet were rooted to the spot. This was my life crumbling before my eyes. The pain was like nothing I'd ever felt. The love of my life, cheating on me with my step sister. And telling her he loved her, in the middle of what they were doing. I step back slowly, tears now streaming down my face, I knew, at that moment, my life had been changed forever. I dashed out the door, slamming it shut behind me on purpose, I wanted them to hear it loud and clear. Tears streamed down my face as I walked along the streets. Then, I stumbled into a crowded area where I dropped down in a little corner by the sidewalk. Everyone was staring at me, their faces were a mix of curiosity and pity. I didn't care. Let them watch. Let them judge. My world had just shattared. Suddenly, I grabbed my phone to call Rachel, my best friend. It feels like ages since we last talked. All this drama is thanks to Richard... She mentioned seeing him and Ruby together, but I just couldn't believe it. I just thought she was just jealous that I found someone. I'd even snapped at her, told her to stop "interfering." Now, she was all I had. The only one I could even think of calling. The phone rang, once, twice, then clicked as Rachel answered. "Hey, Aurora..." Her voice was low,a low growl of annoyance. I could practically feel the tension radiating through the phone. I swallowed, trying to force the words past the lump in my throat. "He...l...lo." My voice hitched and cracked. The moment she heard the sob clinging to the word, the iciness in her voice melted away. "Aurora? What’s wrong? Talk to me." She was all concern now, her voice tight with worry. The truth burst out of me, a messy, incoherent flood. "Rich...ard... and Ruby... they... they... they've been fucking. I caught them." My body shook with each word, the betrayal a physical blow. "What? What the fuck?" There was a pause, a sharp intake of breath. "Wait, just... hold on. I'll be right there. Text me your location, immediately!" I fumbled with my phone, thumbing in the address of the corner I was huddled in. My thoughts were gone, replaced by a constant state of agony. I just sat there, trying to process the image seared into my brain. Richard. Ruby. Together. Then, everything shifted. The roar of an engine, skidding tires, and suddenly, Rachel was there. She’d practically flown, her eyes wide with concern as she jumped out of her sleek black car. I saw Rachel walking towards me. "Rora," she called, her voice soft. I looked up, my eyes already stinging with tears. She reached me and gently tugged at my arms, trying to help me up from where I was slumped on the ground. "Damn it, Aurora! What the hell? Why are you just sitting here... all alone?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. I couldn't answer. The energy had just drained out of me completely. But Rachel didn't push me to talk. She carefully helped me into her car, being so gentle. I leaned my head back against the seat, trying to relax as she got in on the other side and started the engine. "Hey," she said, trying to sound reassuring. "Don't worry. I'm gonna take you somewhere. I know you usually hate places like this..." She paused, and I glanced at her. She was forcing a smile, trying to lift my spirits. Then she continued, "But, Aurora, you need to chill out, okay? For once, just loosen up. Truth is, you need a good..." She hesitated for a split second, then went on, "...fuck. You need to open up. You can't stay a virgin forever. Some guy gotta tear up your pu**y walls..." Something about what she said struck a chord. It was almost... tempting. The guy I was meant to lose my virginity with, the one I loved...had broken my heart. Now i was just crushed. Maybe it would be better with a stranger after all. I kept my gaze fixed on the road ahead, trying to process everything. ****** "This is it," Rachel said, nodding towards a dimly lit building. It was a bar, but from the outside, it looked surprisingly…calm. I wasn't sure what I expected, but it was definitely a contrast to Rachel's usual vibe. We stepped inside, and bam. The sound hit me like a wall. Loud music, a buzzing crowd, the smell of beer and something vaguely sweet... it was sensory overload. "RACHHHHYYY!" The shout cut through the noise. We both turned. It was a girl, waving like mad, practically jumping up and down. Rachel grinned. "Oh, that's Jenny." Jenny bounced over to us. Her top was...small, And her skirt? One wrong move, and she'd be flashing everyone. "Hey, Jenny!" Rachel said, pulling her into a quick hug. "Jenny, this is Aurora my bestie." "Hey! Nice to meet you!" Jenny squeezed my hand, her eyes already darting around the room. "Come on, I snagged a table. Let's get drinks!" We followed her through the crowd to a sticky table in a corner. I ordered a vodka soda, trying to appear nonchalant. Innocent even. But beneath the surface... I could hold my liquor. Learned that skill young. My dad… well, let’s just say he wasn’t a great guy to me and my mum. Drinks were the only escape sometimes, a temporary shield against the constant yelling, the tension, the… everything when he was still married to my mum. After a couple of drinks, the noise started to feel less overwhelming, more… comforting, almost. Still, a restlessness was growing inside me. "I'm going to grab some air," I mumbled, excusing myself. Rachel barely seemed to notice, already deep in conversation with Jenny. I wandered away from the table as walked into the crowd. It was a relief for about a minute. I staggered slightly. I wasn't drunk. Not really. Tipsy, maybe. Numb, definitely. A dark thought slithered into my head, unbidden. A reckless, destructive thought, —Tonight, I told myself, the next guy i bump into… I'm going to Fuck him—. It was a horrible, impulsive decision, but at that moment, it felt like the only way to reclaim some kind of control. Lost in that messed-up internal monologue, I wasn't paying attention. My heel caught on something—a loose floorboard maybe—and I stumbled. My arms windmilled, uselessly grasping at air. I was going down. Then, suddenly, strong hands grabbed me. I felt myself falling… but into someone’s embrace.Chapter 3.Aurora's POV. Still in his arms, I felt…small. He was solid, his chest broad against me, and even through the shirt, I could feel the strength in his arms. Before I could think, the words slipped out, barely a whisper."Will you fuck me?" I muttered into his ear.That's when my hand bumped into something. It wasn't skin. Cold, smooth…metal. I glanced down, and my stomach dropped. A wheelchair. I looked up at his face. God, he really was handsome. Strong jaw, dark hair curling back...Oh my god. I hadn’t even checked before I’d opened my mouth. I was in shock. I just wanted this to workHe seemed to sense my sudden shift, the embarrassment radiating off me. His grip tightened for a second, and he leaned closer, his breath warm on my ear."If you…satisfy me," he rasped, his voice low and husky, "I'll pay you well."I looked into his eyes. They were intense, serious. It wasn't really about the money, It was about…desperation. Escape."Yes," I blurted out before I could overt
Chapter 4.Aurora's POV."Honey, our company is going down. Investors are withdrawing. We have to get the Hawthorne's involved." Lydia's voice was sharp, laced with panic.Hawthorne? That name hit me like a cold slap. Isn't that Richard's name? His surname. He isn't old so... who else is in their family that I would marry? Suddenly, Ruby, strutted into the room, her voice dripping with mock offense, "I mean, I can't marry any old man! I'm too young and classy for that. Aurora should! She's older than I am, after all.""Young and classy," I muttered under my breath. I bit my tongue, hard. After all, she'd stolen my boyfriend right under my nose. These people had a way of pushing you until you broke. Ever since Mum died, leaving me with Dad, and Lydia came in, birthing Ruby… everything changed. My life has never been the same. But, I'll do whatever it takes to get out of their grasp..... I'll marry whoever they want. And I will have my revenge. They took away my pride, made me feel
Aurora's POV, 5."I want revenge!" The words cracked as I forced them out, my breath hitching in my throat. "I want my family to pay for taking away everything..."A sob threatened to bubble up, the raw pain a physical thing. I scrubbed at my eyes, desperate to keep the tears at bay. Not now. Not here. Then, I pull up my wedding gown a little and practically ran towards him. My legs trembled, each step a battle against my own fear.I knelt, the rough carpet digging into my knees. I placed my hands on his broad thighs, the fabric of his expensive suit.Yes. This was it. My only way. Using his power, his connections… his wealth. For my own selfish reasons, absolutely.Suddenly, he cupped my jaw in his hand, the touch surprisingly gentle. He tilted my head up, forcing me to meet his gaze. His eyes… they were intense, searching.I could feel fear tightening in my belly, the kind that's deep and utterly primal.This… this was the first time I'd truly seen a man's eyes, looked into them thi
Aurora's POV, 6. Pawn In His Game.I woke up to someone calling and knocking on the door, sounding both polite and a bit pushy. My heart started racing, and panic kicked in, shaking off the sleepiness.“Mrs. Hawthorne?”The knock echoed in my mind. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. Just a few more minutes, I told myself, letting the warmth of the bed lure me back.“Mrs. Hawthorne? May I come in, ma’am?”That voice again. Oh my God, it’s me! I jumped out of bed, the realization hitting me like a splash of cold water. I had just married Luther, and I was now a Hawthorne. It felt surreal—like a dream I hadn’t fully woken up from.But wait. I can’t stay married to him. Revenge first, then divorce. That thought was a spark in the chaos of my mind.“Mrs. Hawt—”Before the voice could finish, I called out, “I’m coming! I’m coming!” I quickly reached for the blanket, pulling it around me as I sat back on the bed, trying to gather my scattered thoughts. “You can co
Chapter 7. Aurora's pov. A Night Of Abandonment."Brother, she's not the one in the picture!" The shout cut through the air. I watched, bewildered, as the woman strode purposefully towards Luther."What do you mean, Maya?" Luther's voice was rough, strained. I could sense the tension radiating from him.My heart began to pound in my chest. I didn't understand what was happening. One moment I was being presented as a bride, the next… this."She's their unwanted child. The unwanted daughter of the Duttman family!" Maya spat the words out, her finger jabbing in my direction."Unwanted?" The word escaped my lips, a shaky whisper. It felt like a punch to the gut. Unwanted? Was that really what I was?Suddenly, Luther wheeled himself directly in front of me. He was looking at my face… really looking at me, for what felt like the very first time since we married. My cheeks burned, and I instinctively looked away."Look at me!" His voice was sharp, edged with anger.Without hesitation, I
Chapter 8. Luther's POV. A Glimpse Of Vulnerability."Luke!" I barked, my voice echoing in the massive study. I knew he'd be lurking near the door. He always was.The door swung open almost instantly. "Yes, boss?" he replied, his gaze firm."Is everyone in the mansion asleep?" I needed to know. Urgency sliced through me."Yes, sir.""Good," I muttered, a low growl rumbling in my chest. Then, the question that had been clawing at me, "It's pouring out there. Check on that girl. See if she's finally succumbed to the cold.""Right away, sir," Luke said, and disappeared before I could blink.Why did I even care? After what her family had done... the lies, the deception. It burned. I'd find out exactly what their game was, and then they'd pay. Every last one of them.Before I could fully sink back into resentment, Luke burst back in, his voice tight with something – fear?"Sir...sir..." He stammered, "I...I think Mrs. Hawthorne... she's fainted!"Fainted? Fainted...? "How the hell di
Chapter 9 . Aurora's POV. Trapped In A Nightmare.Ugh… the sun. Right in my eye. I stretched, trying to shake off the sleep. My eyes felt heavy, and the first thing I noticed was that something wasn't right.""Ouch!" I flinched, quickly rubbing my head with my hand, just trying to shake off the sleepiness.My head was really hurting, almost like there was construction going on in my brain, and at the same time, I was experiencing this sharp, pulsating pain in my pu**y. Wait… I’m naked? How the hell did that happen? I remember… I remember being outside, practically begging Luther to to let me in. The cold stone against my knees… and the rain too. But now… a bed. Luther’s bed?Then, I saw it. A framed picture on the wall. Luther… smiling. And a woman beside him, also smiling. It was the first time I'd ever seen him smile. I barely recognize him. My chest hurt.I scrambled up, pulling the sheet around me. My insides churned, a cold, unfamiliar sensation settling in my stomach.God
Chapter 10.Luther's POV. A Master's Control. The car finally stopped. "Sir, we have arrived," Luke's voice cut through the fog in my head. I wasn't really asleep, more like… numb. Today had been a shitshow dealing with those two-bit thugs.Luke hurried to get my wheelchair, helping me settle into it. I hated this chair, but it was my reality now, A show I have to always put on for people. As he pushed me towards the entrance, I heard voices, Mom and Maya, and a third, softer voice. Arguing. Always freaking arguing."... How are you even still breathing?" Mom's voice dripped with venom. "After Luther found out you weren't the woman he thought he was marrying, he still let you stay? Unbelievable!"Aurora. Damn it. I forgot she was here. This was going to be a disaster. She hadn't met Mom yet."Luke, you can… go take care of something else," I said, flicking my hand dismissively."Okay, boss!" He saluted and disappeared.Taking a deep breath, I shoved open the doors and rolled insid
Aurora's POV. 26. A Night of Temptation. I eased myself up from the bed, slow and quiet. Each movement was deliberate, trying not to make a single creak that might rouse Luther. The last thing I needed was him awake and asking questions. Questions I definitely wasn't planning on answering truthfully. How could I possibly tell him I was sneaking out to meet Richard? Richard, his own brother, his enemy. No way.I was practically tiptoeing as I made my way to the closet. My heart was pounding in my chest, a nervous little drum solo. I grabbed a simple gown. Something that covered the basics, but still... well, it couldn't completely hide my figure, not in this material. Hopefully, Richard wouldn't be paying attention to that anyway.I slipped out of the room, holding my breath. The mansion was silent. Relief washed over me. Mother-in-law and Maya must be asleep. Even the maids were tucked away. Good. One less obstacle.Reaching the main gate, I expected to see the security guards
Aurora's POV. 25. The Devils Playground.I stood there, the words jumbled in my head like a bad song. I needed to explain, but the fear of making him angry was a heavy weight in my chest."Uh... Luther... the money..." I stammered, hating how weak I sounded. "The money I asked for... I wanted to use it to get my family's company back. So I went to Marcus, he said he could help with his... influence. I didn't know he was..."He cut me off, his voice sharp and hard. "Why? Whatever you need is right here in this mansion! Do you want to start working? Seriously?" The anger was in his voice, a low growl that made me want to shrink."Luther," I said, my voice rising despite my best efforts, "the company is in my name. It belonged to my mother. My father ruined it, and he rushed to marry Lydia because of her connections." I hadn't meant to yell, but the words burst out, raw and desperate. The thought of Dad and Lydia made my blood boil. I never even dared to raise my voice at Luther normal
Luther's POV. 24. Tied To His Whim.The shower was still running, water drumming against us. My hand was already exploring her, and the other was on my own cock. It was hard, throbbing, ready. I wanted her now.I yanked her up, shut off the water. The cold tile hit her skin. I bent her over, her ass pressed against me, Aurora's hands flat against the wall. I felt this sudden urge hit me - a need to slap her ass.I didn't hesitate.SMACK."Aaahhh!" She screamed, loud.I did it again. SMACK. Harder.Her screams were getting louder, a mix of pain and something else... something that turned me on."Luther, come on, just fuck me now... please..." It was a desperate cry, a moan.Her words... they hit something in me. I lifted her hips a little, and then I was inside her. I thrust, hard and rough, pounding into her pussy. I felt her legs start to tremble.Whimpers escaped her.I was close. Too fucking close. It all rushed at me, and I exploded inside her, way too fast. Damn it.I turned h
Luther's POV. 23. Control And Desire. I stood up from my damn wheelchair, the movement still stiff and painful, as we entered the room."Come here," I commanded, the word rough.Aurora, who was rushing towards the bathroom to wash off the blood and dirt, stopped dead in her tracks. She turned around slowly. Her dress was torn a little, and her face was pale."Yes?" she answered, the word laced with anger and maybe a little fear. She was probably still pissed about what happened.But what the hell did she expect? I gunned someone down. It's not like it was the first time. She needs to deal with it. I won’t change, not for anyone. Especially not for some woman.But Aurora… she's starting to make me feel. A dangerous feeling. One I'm not ready for. Emotions are a weakness, and I'm a monster, a ruthless killer. I won't let her do that to me."You called me, Luther?" she interrupted my dark thoughts. Her voice held a strange mix of anger and forced calm.I couldn't speak for a moment. I
Richard's POV. 22. Bitter Rivalry.My fists clenched so tight, my knuckles turned white. Luther. Just the name tasted like bile in my mouth. The way he carries himself, like he's untouchable, some damn god walking among us. It's irritating. I slammed my fist against the table, the impact sending a ripple of pain up my arm, but it barely registered."Richard, stop this nonsense!" My mother's voice, sharp and disapproving, cut through my rage. "Anger won't get you what you want!"I rounded on her, my chest heaving. "Oh, is that right, Mother? Then what will, huh? What will get me even a sliver of what that damn bastard has?"Her eyes narrowed, focusing on the shattered remains of her favorite vase, a delicate porcelain thing that now lay in fragments on the Persian rug. "You even had to smash my beautiful flower vase… what the fuck is wrong with you?""Mum!" The word tore from my throat, a strangled mix of pain and resentment. I kicked a shard of porcelain across, the sharp sound ec
Aurora's POV. 21. Game Of Survival."You are a stubborn little girl," Luther's voice was a gravelly growl as he shoved me into the car. "Take us outta here, Luke!" he barked.The car lurched forward, Luke expertly navigating the road straight to... the Hawthornes' mansion. I saw Luther's hard gaze reflected in the rearview mirror, and Luke seemed to get the message instantly.Luke got out, unfolded Luther's wheelchair, and helped him into it. A wave of nausea rolled over me. This whole act, this pretense. What was he playing at? Did he have enemies too? How could someone so ruthless, capable of... I squeezed my eyes shut, the image of him killing that man flashing in my mind. How could I still be married to him? What sane person would stay?I hadn't moved from the car. Luther always noticed everything, every tiny detail. It was like he had a sixth sense. Perfect vision, perfect hearing... a perfectly monstrous heart."Aurora!" His voice, cold and sharp, cut through the air.I heard
Aurora's POV. 20. Bloodshed.My head was throbbing, the rope biting into my wrists. "Boss Luther? You're here—" Marcus started, but the words died in his throat.A sickening sound ripped through the room as Luther moved with terrifying speed. A thud, a choked scream... Marcus slammed against the floor."Luther," I managed, my voice a weak rasp. The energy had been completely sucked out of me."Luke, untie her," Luther commanded, his voice dangerously low. He didn't even glance my way. It was jarring. Where was his wheelchair? He always used his wheelchair.Luther's attention was solely on Marcus, and the air crackled with his fury. "How dare you lay a hand on my wife?" he growled, each word a guttural threat. "Tell me, who gave you the right to do that?!" He punctuated his rage with a brutal kick to Marcus's stomach."Ahhhh...! Fuck!" Marcus shrieked, clutching his abdomen. "Boss, I didn't know she was your wife! Let alone a Hawthorne! She was the one who came to me, proposing a b
Aurora's POV. 19. The Devil's Den.The man's words were like a physical barrier, making me spin around. He was enormous. Towering over me, muscles bulging. No shirt; just dark trousers, a bit torn pulled tight with a belt. His skin was covered in tattoos, a roadmap of his life. His face was a mess of scars, like someone had taken a knife to him repeatedly . It made my breath hitch."Please," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. "I... I'm looking for Marcus.""Why?" He barked, his voice rough as sandpaper. Not a hint of warmth softened his features. "Do you have an appointment? And who the hell are you?""Um..." Damn it! My stomach clenched, fear tightening its grip. "I... I have business to discuss with him. Please, just take me to him." I managed to force the words out, desperately clinging to the last shreds of my courage."Follow me." It wasn’t a request, it was a command.He led me to a small, door. I never would have noticed it. The shadows swallowed me whole as we stepped
Aurora's POV. 18. The Family Feud.My stomach was already churning before the food even arrived. Every meal felt like a battle fought on a plate."Here ma'am, your food," the maid said, her voice devoid of warmth as she placed it on the table. I tried to block out Maya's presence, pretending not to notice her spiteful glances."Mum, can you believe we have to share the same dining table with this little slut?" Maya sneered, turning to her mother who rewarded her with a cruel, knowing smile.I bowed my head, focusing on the food, trying to ignore the venomous words. I was so tired, bone-weary.Whose fault is that? I thought bitterly. Luther's. That's who. Luther, pretending to be crippled, draining the life out of me, little by little.I lifted a spoon to my mouth, but before I could taste a bite, Maya slammed it away, sending my plate crashing to the floor.My breath hitched. "You really shouldn't be here!" she exclaimed angrily. "Go find somewhere else to have your meal. It's bad e
