Love on Fire with a Billionaire Chapter 24
Calm. Tranquil. Relieved. That's how Aurora felt that morning, awakened by her actions from the previous night. She was proud of herself, convinced that she had done the right thing by dismissing Tristan, and she didn't regret it. She thought that by letting him go, he would straighten up and not seek her again.And once again, she had let herself be deceived.Confused and bewildered. That's how she felt upon receiving the blue gem necklace.Why had that arrogant man bought the necklace? What did he intend to do with it? Was it a way to apologize? No. It shouldn't be. He had the ability to be completely cold and proud."Don't tell anyone about this," she warned the old lady, putting the velvet box with the necklace into her bag."But I'm an elderly lady. As you said yourself, my age affects my memory. I might let it slip," the old woman replied."How much do you want?" Aurora questioned, as if she had read the manipulative old lady's mind. Finally, she handed over the money she would

On that Friday morning, Tristan hadn't shown up at the company, leaving Xavier very irritated. Without Tristan's presence, it was Xavier who was in charge of the paperwork that needed to be passed on to him, but most of the time, Xavier ended up doing Tristan's work himself. He separated the papers into two piles: one for contracts and advantageous ideas, and the other for disposable things. And the worst part was, it was a Friday. Xavier knew he would be very busy on his only days off.For these and many other reasons, Xavier didn't miss the opportunity to throw in Tristan's face that he took care of the company more than the president and owner's son himself. In fact, Tristan never cared about the great empire his father built and passed down to him. He accepted taking over the family business out of revenge... But that's another story.At lunchtime, Xavier decided to go to Tristan's house to make sure he would be present at the very important meeting with the accountants that after

Thomas shouted desperately, "Fire!!!" using a pot lid as a shield to protect himself from the spreading blaze. "Lucca, help me here!"The other cooks rushed to grab a fire extinguisher. Lucca smacked his forehead, impressed by Thomas's foolishness.One cook returned with the extinguisher in hand and quickly put out the fire. The place was now surrounded by smoke, causing some to cough due to the lack of air."What did you do?" Lucca asked Thomas. "I just asked you to put the pan on the stove!""And I did that. It's not my fault if this stove is possessed by the devil," retorted Thomas, crossing his arms defensively.The door separating the kitchen from the customer area swung open, revealing Kai's figure. Faster than lightning, the two intruders hid behind the ceramic counter."Who was responsible for this?" Kai asked, referring to the accident moments ago.Everyone fell silent, their gazes lowered. Kai continued to wait for an answer while looking at each employee's face, growing imp

Upon returning to the Hotel Palace, Klaus and Aurora planned to split up to look for Adelaide, but they didn't even need to put the plan into action. On the lawn, couples were dancing to the sound of a slow song, and Griffin and Adelaide were there, in the middle of the improvised dance floor. She intertwined her arms around his neck, while he placed his hands around her slender waist. They swayed gently, looking deeply into each other's eyes, enveloped by an intense passion.Aurora grabbed her camera and took photos of the couple from various angles. She knew that Adelaide would love to have a photo as a keepsake. Still looking through the lens, she focused once again on her sister and the doctor. But just before she pressed the button to photograph them, the image went completely dark, and she realized that a hand had covered the lens."Hey!" Aurora pushed the object away from her face and looked at the man with seriousness. "What do you think you're doing?""We need to talk," Trist

The days passed quickly, and Adelaide continued avoiding talking to Griffin. She even turned off her phone to avoid seeing missed calls and unanswered messages. She knew he wanted an explanation and an answer about the love declaration, but not even Adelaide herself knew what she felt. She was sure she liked the doctor, but she didn't want to give in to her doubts, like her feelings for Kai; they still lingered deep in her heart.Meanwhile, Aurora's life couldn't be better, like a perfectly balanced scale. Work was wonderful; she earned extra money covering the photo shoot for Emotion's special Christmas edition. Regarding college, she would soon go on a field trip and was very excited about the classes. And lastly, she and Tristan continued to meet and stay true to the agreement, which favored her love/sex life.On that cold afternoon, Aurora calmly exited the subway. One of the reasons she loved the end of the year was that she didn't have to face the crowded throng that always form

Xavier drove his car attentively, while Aurora observed the companies, shops, and residences through the window, all while the rain fell softly. The journey was silent, which bothered the girl."Thanks again for picking me up," Aurora said."Why are you thanking me again?" he glanced at her from the corner of his eye."Oh, nothing. I just thought it was very quiet," Aurora continued, looking out at the landscape. "How did you meet Tristan?""His father, Mr. Callahan, gave a lecture announcing Tristan's presidency," Xavier replied."And how did you become friends?" she asked curiously. Tristan had a big problem with intolerance, which made it strange that Xavier had easily gained his friendship and trust."Not to brag, but I'm one of the top employees at Callahan's," Aurora made a bored face because it was clear he was bragging. "So, since I hold an important position, I had to be by Tristan's side to inform him about everything related to the company. I also helped him navigate around

It was already night, and the neighborhood square was simply magnificent. Illuminated by the colorful lights of the twinkling bulbs, the benches were personalized with red ribbons, and tables with red tablecloths and chairs were arranged for the neighbors to settle in. In one corner, an even larger table was filled with food and drinks. The place was filled with joy and camaraderie.Amidst all the excitement, Klaus and Lucca hid in a bush, looking at the people around with the help of binoculars."Did you find Alex?" Lucca asked without looking at his friend."Not yet... but I found something else," Klaus said, smirking mischievously as he used the magnified view to observe a woman not far from the bush.Lucca looked in the same direction Klaus was looking and then pulled the binoculars away from his face, flicking his friend's forehead."Focus on the mission!"Meanwhile, Aurora walked back and forth, greeting all her neighbors with great joy, even those she didn't particularly like.

It was almost midnight, and with each passing minute, Kai and Adelaide's desperation grew. The restaurant was about to close, and they were hurrying not to miss the dazzling neighborhood fireworks display. Only the two of them remained at the place.Adelaide was putting away pots in the kitchen cabinets, indignant at what she had heard. "She's lying to me!" said Adelaide, expressing her frustration.As Kai took off his apron and hung it on a hook in the corner, he replied, "I warned you to keep an eye on her."Still intrigued by the revelation, Adelaide tried to imagine what Aurora was doing behind her back, but it was hard to come to a conclusion, as she thought she knew everything about her younger sister's life.Kai tried to understand the situation better: "Did you notice any different behavior from her in the past few days?"Adelaide answered after finishing arranging the pots and leaning on another countertop, facing the chef: "Not that I remember. Apart from the fact that she's

Love on Fire with a Billionaire Chapter 94 - The End
Six years later...Tristan, Aurora, and Adelaide now formed a close-knit family, brimming with love and joy. The room with the world map wallpaper looked a bit different, adorned with soft colors and children's toys, reflecting the happiness that had filled that space. However, the image of the map still adorned the wall because the little girl had a deep fondness for that decoration.Adelaide, now six years old, lay on the bed with her Corgi dog, Toby, by her side. She was engrossed in a book of pony stories, her latest passion. Tristan approached and gently stroked his daughter's red hair as she read."Still in love with ponies, my dear?" he asked with a smile.Adelaide nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, Daddy! They're so cute and magical!"Tristan smiled, reminiscing about the time she used to call him 'pony.' "Maybe one day, when you grow a bit more, you can ride a real one."Adelaide's eyes lit up at the idea. "That would be amazing, Daddy!"Meanwhile, Aurora stood in the doorway, wa

Five years later...Aurora felt every heartbeat quicken as the contractions intensified. Her breath was deep and irregular, and her hand was firmly clasped in her husband Tristan's, who remained by her side, providing strength and support. The delivery room was immersed in a silence heavy with anxiety and anticipation.The soft candlelight spread throughout the room, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The scent of lavender hung in the air, mixed with the electric tension that enveloped the couple. The walls were lined with white tiles, reflecting the serenity of the moment that was about to unfold.The obstetrician, Rose, moved with a comforting calmness as she prepared for the baby's arrival. She smiled, instilling confidence in Aurora, whose eyes welled up with tears. Aurora knew that she would soon cradle the fruit of her love with Tristan in her arms.The contractions now came with an almost rhythmic regularity, causing Aurora to focus even more on her breathing. She took de

It took only a matter of weeks for Xavier to gain full custody of Christian, following Genevieve's sentencing to decades in prison. Soon after, he announced Amelie's pregnancy and their engagement.It wasn't easy for Violet to cope with what had happened to her older sister. Despite always finding Genevieve's behavior towards Tristan and Aurora strange, she never imagined that her uncontrollable way of loving would lead her to that point. Aurora stayed by her side in the first few days until Violet decided to spend some time at her parents' house in another city. However, she promised to return for her friend's wedding.And she kept her promise.Aurora sneaked out of the room where she was getting ready, and since she already knew the way - the ceremony was taking place at Mr. Callahan's mansion, which he had lent for the event - she hid behind a wall where she could observe the beautifully decorated hall. She saw Violet among the guests, looking stunning in her purple dress, talking

A suffocating panic crawled through Aurora's body as she was pushed through the corridors of the mansion, not knowing exactly where she was going; where Genevieve wanted to take her."Move faster!" Genevieve ordered, pressing the barrel of the gun against her head.Aurora swallowed hard and quickened her pace. She was terrified, her chest felt tight, and her mouth bitter, but she tried to think of a way to change things. She wouldn't surrender, let alone die there."Here. Go in," Genevieve indicated a door, and even though Aurora was confused, she obeyed. It was Tristan's office."Genevieve..." Aurora spoke softly, even though she was in complete agony at the sight of the brunette pointing a gun at her with an empty expression. "Please, think carefully about what you're about to do...""I should have done this a long time ago! It's the only way this hell will end," Genevieve replied."No, it won't." Aurora shook her head. "Genevieve, killing me won't make Tristan love you...""I don't

If news reached Thomas's ears, it would take only a few days for him to share it with the entire United States. Aurora called Klaus, who wasn't even in America at that moment, wanting to tell him before someone else did, but it was too late. He already knew, thanks to Thomas, of course. Klaus still made her swear over the phone that she wouldn't plan anything related to the ceremony until he and Frederick returned from their honeymoon.Tristan planned to tell his father when they visited him on Sunday. Mr. Callahan wasn't very connected to gossip, so it was quite likely that he didn't know the news yet. And even if he did find out, he wouldn't be the type of person to care about such things.Despite the immense joy, Aurora's heart ached every time she imagined her sister helping her with the wedding details. She imagined that Adelaide would cry all the time, from the first dress fitting to the end of the party.Aurora continued with her treatment and medications. She still woke up in

Many hours later, they were still on the couch, holding hands. Aurora rested her head on Tristan's shoulder, and he also rested his head on hers."I had an idea," she said."Here it comes," Tristan replied with a smile."Hey!" Aurora pulled away from him, indignant. "My ideas are always brilliant.""And what's this one?""Well..." Aurora moved to sit on his lap, with one leg on each side of his body and her hands on his broad shoulders. "I thought we could invite our friends and have a non-traditional ceremony. It could happen here, or maybe in a hall. You would wear a suit, and I'd wear a beautiful dress... and some sexy lingerie for later."He watched her closely."Aurora, are you asking me to marry you?" Tristan asked.She blushed but managed to nod."Have you ever noticed that every time we go in opposite directions, and that's been happening since the day we met, we end up finding each other again without intending to?" Aurora began to explain. "I don't want to rely on luck again

"What are you doing here?" Tristan's question burst into that tension-filled space, unleashing a torrent of long-held emotions."I came to lay it all on the line!" the redhead declared, adjusting her tone to convey determination. "And just so you know, no, I'm not drunk, and I'm fully aware of what I'm about to say, so pay close attention." Tristan, relaxed with his arms crossed and leaning against the door frame, kept his gaze focused as he listened attentively. "This whole 'being friends' thing isn't going to work. Sure, I agreed to it at first, but I also said we should let our hearts go where they wanted. And that's the point. My heart only goes to you... even if you are a Mr. Arrogant, cheeky, proud, masochistic, and thick-headed jerk!"A glimmer of amusement appeared in Tristan's eyes as he commented, "That was the longest one yet."Aurora scolded him, "Don't interrupt me, or I'll lose my train of thought."Tristan, with a touch of sarcasm, teased, "Are you sure you haven't had

Aurora decided to go to Luna's house."Sorry for showing up without giving you a heads up, Luna."Luna laughed and replied, "I appreciate it, actually! The men in the house are all out right now, and when that happens, I'm stuck here, bored out of my mind." Observing the younger woman's distressed face, she realized something was wrong. "What's going on? You seem nervous."Aurora explained, "I need to talk to you."Luna nodded, concerned, and promptly settled down on the living room couch with the young woman."Go ahead, speak.""After I went to New York, did Tristan... did he say anything to you? I mean, did he ask about me?"Luna chuckled, but her mood faded when she saw Aurora's worried expression. "Seriously? Oh yes, he asked about you all the time."Aurora's heart raced, a good feeling she hadn't experienced in a while."Really?""Klaus told me that you two got back together at his wedding. I thought he had already told you."Aurora laughed at her friend's gossip, but then her ex

An hour of comfortable silence stretched, during which Aurora briefly dozed off, and Tristan contemplated his life while gently caressing her hand."Whose room is this?" Aurora asked, noticing the miniature cartoon character figurines on top of a dresser on the other side."Mine. Well, it used to be mine," Tristan replied."Really?" Aurora got up, full of curiosity, and went to the other side of the room to examine closely."My father said he didn't touch anything after I left, except for the clothes I left behind," explained Tristan."What happened to them?""They were donated. Besides that, everything's the same."Aurora noticed that the miniatures were the only decoration with a personal touch. There was nothing else. No photos or CDs of any bands he used to like. Since childhood, he had a rather minimalist taste."Your father must have missed you," she commented, hearing his incredulous grunt. "Seriously. After all, you're still his son. I can't think of any other reason he wouldn
