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. Aurora Is Pregnant!I stood frozen, my heart thudding in my chest, eyes locked on Mia as she stumbled toward the exit with mother guiding her like a disgraced dog being dragged out the house.It should’ve felt like a victory. It didn’t.My fingers gripped the edge of the couch, knuckles white. My breath wasn't stable. The silence in the room wasn’t peaceful—it was dangerous. Sharp. Like walking barefoot on broken glass.I watched them walk… one step… two steps…And then something inside me snapped.“Stop!”My voice came out lower than I expected—firm, deadly calm.They both stopped immediately, right at the middle of the hallway, inches away from the front door.Mother turned her head halfway, not fully, just enough to let me know she heard me but didn’t think I was worth turning around for.I rose slowly, arms folded over my chest. My heels clicked against the floor as I walked toward them. I wasn’t rushing. No. This moment needed to be felt.I moved like a ticking tim
Aurora's POV. Unmasking The Truth!I leaned by the wall in the sitting room, sipping from the same bottle Mia had knocked out of my hand earlier. My lips still tingled from the cold water. My fingers wrapped tighter around the bottle as I scrolled through my phone. I chuckled at a meme. Not because it was that funny, but because I wanted to. Because my laugh, like my hum, was mine to control.I started humming again. Not sweet. Not soft. Just loud enough to cut through the silence.That’s when I heard the heavy footsteps of Luther.He came downstairs, files in his hand—the ones he had demanded from Luke earlier. His presence was heavy, like always. The way the floorboards responded to him, the way the air shifted—."Where's Mia?" he barked.I didn’t answer.I didn’t flinch.I wasn’t going to show him where to find her. Not because of how she tried to humiliate me. Not after she touched me. Because I wasn't ready to speak to him yet. I stayed leaning, kept sipping, kept scrolling.
Aurora's POV. I saw luke coming towards me. Definitely he didn't come to see me. He'd be heading towards Luther's Private room.I knew he was hiding something the moment I saw the folder.He was always too clean, too sharp, too... disciplined. Every time he came into the estate, it was always on strict business. No lingering. No chatter. Just yes ma’am, no ma’am.But today?Today, his hands were clenched around a thick brown file like it held the goddamn truth of the universe.And he didn’t expect to find me standing in the hallway.Our eyes locked. Brief. Intense. His expression shifted in less than a second, like he was trying to tuck away whatever he wasn’t ready to share."Going somewhere?" I asked smoothly, stepping away from the wall I’d been leaning against.Luke adjusted his collar. “Just here to see the boss.”My eyes dropped to the file in his hand. "What's in the file?"He didn't answer.I smiled, but there was no humor in it. “Let me guess. Evidence? Information? Somethin
Luther's POV. Filth and Fire. The night felt like a noose tightening around my neck.I couldn't sleep.Not because I believed Aurora and Not because I believed Mia either.But because something was fucking off.My steps were slow as I pushed Mia’s door open without knocking. She sat at her vanity, brushing her hair like she was waiting for me. Like she already knew I’d come.Her eyes met mine in the mirror. “Couldn’t sleep?”I didn’t answer.I stepped in, shutting the door behind me.She turned on the stool, legs crossed, lips curled.“Let me guess,” she said softly, “Aurora’s little tantrum got to you.”“Mia,” I said calmly, standing by the wall. “I need the truth.”Her smile barely wavered. “I told you the truth.”I stepped forward, stopping just a few feet from her. “Don’t waste my time.”She stood now, slowly, like she was performing for me. Her robe slid down her shoulder just enough to expose the curve of her breast. She walked closer, hips swaying, voice dropping.“Luther… do
Aurora's POV. Mia's Manipulation. (The Game Turned!)I didn’t plan to make a scene. But I couldn't let this go.Not anymore.I stood firm in the middle of Mia’s room, facing them both, my chest heaving. My voice came out sharp, cutting the thick air between us.“So all this time, you were faking it? You’ve been lying to Luther. To everyone. There is no baby.”Mia’s face twisted, caught between panic and rage.“You heard that?” Richard muttered behind her, like he couldn’t believe it either.“Oh, I heard every damn word,” I snapped.My fists clenched at my sides. My head spun but I forced my voice to stay strong. “I think it’s time the rest of the family heard it too.”“No!” Mia barked, lunging again, but I was already backing away toward the door.I turned and stormed down the hallway, then the stairs. My voice echoed through the Hawthorne mansion like thunder.“Everyone, come down here! Now!”I didn’t care anymore.Maya was the first to appear from the right hallway, heels clicking
Aurora's POV. Luther slowly pulled the kitchen door open, and there stood Richard—with an empty plate in hand and that same smug look dancing on his lips.“This place reeks of sex,” he muttered, stepping in like he owned the house. “And sex… damn.”My heart skipped. I adjusted Luther’s shirt around me, pulling the sides closer, but Richard’s eyes were already all over me.“And… um, Aurora,” Richard added with a sly smirk, “I didn’t know you looked this sexy when… undressed. I mean, look at you. In Luther’s shirt. And nothing else, huh?”Before I could even blink, the door slammed behind him.Luther.His face was unreadable—jaw tight, fists buried deep into his pockets, eyes locked on his brother like he was trying to keep from pouncing.“No offense, brother,” Richard said, as if daring him. “Just admiring the creation. After all, she put it on so all can see.”“Speak again,” Luther said, his voice low, controlled, dangerous. “Say one more fucking thing… and I swear to God, I’ll cut o
Aurora's POV. Eat Me Up, Fuck! “I want to fucking eat you, Aurora,” he said, his lips brushing my ear. “Here. Now. Hard.” I swallowed hard, my hands gripping the edge of the counter tighter. His touch was slow, teasing, but filled with fire. He pressed closer, the heat of his body swallowing me whole. I gasped, caught between the madness and the need. My legs tensed, heat spreading through me as his hands trailed my body with purpose. My voice was barely a whisper. “Luther…” He didn’t give me a chance to say more. All I knew was his hands, his mouth, his body—claiming me in a space that made my knees weak and my mind forget everything but him. His breath was hot against my neck as he bent down—Now on his knees, gripping my thighs with both hands. Suddenly, he lifted my legs and placed them on his shoulders, his face now buried between my thighs. I tilted back, my hands spreading out on the cold counter behind me for support, my chest rising and falling fast. “Luther... damn..
Aurora's POV. Suddenly, Luther walked in, tall, commanding, fresh from a call, his shirt a little unbuttoned and that cool shadow of danger resting on his face like always. I followed him straight into the dining room, too nervous to even breathe properly. My hands were shaking slightly as I placed the plate down in front of him. This was it. My first damn attempt at making breakfast for him. My first time ever holding a pan in this godforsaken house. And despite the insults, the sabotage, the mockery—I did it. Or so I thought. Luther sat down, glancing at the food once, then at me. His brows lifted slightly. "You cooked this?" I nodded, trying not to fidget. "Like you said...” A beat passed before he picked up the cutlery and took the first bite. I waited. His jaw stopped moving. Then it tightened. He swallowed hard—and not in a good way. His eyes lifted slowly, sharply locking onto mine. “What the fuck is this?” My stomach dropped. “What?” He picked up the fork agai
Aurora's POV. The moment I stepped into the kitchen, I regretted it.Not because of the chores I knew I was being forced into, or the fact that I hadn’t even touched a pan since Luther dragged me into his hellish palace. No. I regretted it because of the woman standing by the counter, arms folded, lips curled in that permanent sneer of disapproval.Mother in-law.She didn’t say anything at first. Just watched me—head to toe—as if the very sight of me gave her indigestion. Her gaze locked on the shirt I wore, Luther’s shirt, barely buttoned up to my thighs. I hadn’t bothered to change. Why should I? If Luther didn’t mind seeing me like this, why should she?But mother was already biting down on the opportunity. I could see it in her face.“What an entrance,” she said finally, her voice sharp as broken glass. “You parade around in my Luther's clothes like some... desperate whore in heat.”I stopped in front of the sink, refusing to look at her just yet. “Good morning to you too, Mother
