Damien looked at the smile on Aurora’s face and felt a sore feeling rising in his chest.He remembered Aurora used to smile to him like that when they were still married, like he was her whole world.But he tossed that away himself.Now he could see nothing but hatred and disdain in Aurora’s eyes wh
With everyone watching, Hellen, Paul, John, and a young man came across the crowd and arrived at the stage.Aurora immediately recognized that young man as the Ravenwood’s middle son, Owen.Owen was a large and sturdy man with his bulging muscles and bushy mustache. He seemed like one of those peopl
Even though she flumped temporarily, she was sure that she could win back everyone’s heart within no time.Holding her breath, Chloe stared at her parents and waited them to voice out their disagreement.Hellen took a step forward facing the whole stand and answered in a firm voice, “The entire Rave
A woman stood up from the stand.And to everyone’s surprise, this objector was Angelina, Chloe’s largest victim.Damien looked toward Angelina with a frown, “Are you raising objections now Angelina?”“Sorry to interrupt you, Alpha Damien. But yes, I do object to those penalties,” Angelina answered w
“Hold on a second.”Angelina took a step forward and stuck her hand out to the guard, “Actually, can I do it?”The guard looked toward the stand reluctantly. Seeing that no one objected, he gave Angelina the tattoo needle and stepped down.“Well…Miss Chloe, have you seen this day coming?”With the t
The crowd hadn’t fully dispersed yet.Many people heard Hellen’s accusation. They stopped in their tracks and looked over.Aurora was in no mood to argue with them. She darted them a cold glare and turned around, walking away hastily.“Stop her! That fraud is getting away!” Hellen shrieked.John jum
The crowd burst into a gale of laughter. And John’s face turned red.Aurora raised an eyebrow in surprised.Damien was taking her side this time?How odd.“And about the money you talked about—” Damien turned to Hellen and Paul and asked, “Give me a figure. How much does she owe you?”The couple exc
A second chance?Aurora didn’t know how to respond to this. Nor did she see this coming.“Why do you want to get back with me anyway? And what about Chloe?” Aurora asked.Damien frowned, “What about her? I am talking about us.”“Isn’t she the love of your life?” Aurora questioned, “You only married
“There isn’t!”He chuckled lowly, “Fine. Then what should we do before bedtime?”“You can read to me. There is a novel on the nightstand.”With one arm still wrapped around her shoulder, he reached over and grabbed the book.Turning the book to the page that she folded, he started reading.He had a
Her heart was thumping so crazily that she was afraid that he might hear the sound of her heartbeat.But she didn’t let her panic show.“Do you have a trusting issue, Westin?” she asked, pretending to be vexed.“Don’t make this about me, my love.” He raised an eyebrow while saying, “First you manage
“Hey what are you talking about over there? We need our pitcher,” Westin cried to them in the distance.Aurora laughed and patted on Clemente’s shoulder, “You should get back in there.”The game lasted for hours till the moon moved to the center of the night sky.Eventually stewards had to step in a
He kept going till her angry screams completely faded in the distance.***When Clemente returned to the castle, it was already approaching nightfall.He immediately wanted to report back to Aurora.Yet a soldier by the front gate said that the King needed him in the training field.So he turned and
Agnes stared at him.The horrified look faded from her face.Eventually, her face became expressionless.“Yes,” she uttered.“…What?”“I said yes.” Agnes let out a light chuckle, “You were asking me for an answer. I am answering you right now—Yes. I do want Westin for myself.”Clemente gritted his t
“And you are defending her!”Tears streaming down Agnes’s cheeks as she shrieked:“Do you know what a hard time she gave me a couple of days ago? She expelled me from my own tea party, Clemente! How can you ever hang out with her? You swore to your brother on his deathbed that you would always help
After a long while, Clemente put the pregnancy stick into his pocket and picked up the lemonade again.He crossed the lawn and found Aurora and the twins by the water fountain.“You are back!” Belle jumped up as soon as she saw him, “Come and smell the roses, Clemente. The gardener just picked it ou
“Of course, it will!”Belle answered right away:“The fog in the mist forest had nothing to do with the weather. It is a magical power that protects our Kingdom 24/7…”She paused.And then started to giggle, “…kind of like Clemente!”Wells rolled his eyes, “I didn’t know why Westin sent this guy to
Aurora’s mind went blank for a second.Although she had seen this coming, she had not prepared for this.There was actually a baby inside of her body, a baby she could not protect.How would Westin react to this?He would certainly be enraged.He hated Damien to his gut, and he would hate Damien’s k
