Aurora POV

Today was Friday, and I have done the necessary shopping for tonight’s party. Dexter’s mood has been sour, and I can’t seem to put my hands on what could probably be making him moody. Is there someone he is hoping not to see at the party? Or is there someone he is avoiding? I have asked myself tonnes of times what could be wrong with him, but I have no idea, and I decided not to ask about it, remembering what happened last I asked.

“I will get ready,” I said, looking at the time. The party is at 8, and the time is 6, so I have more than enough time to get ready.

“Have it,” he said, handing me a bag. I collected the bag, confused about what was inside. I opened it, and an emerald green material stared back at me. I removed the cloth from the bag, staring at the beautiful, simple gown. It’s a long gown with a slit at the front. The gown is armless, and the quality of the material is screaming luxury. I actually shopped for a similar colour, but the quality can’t be compared t

    Aurora POVThe ride to the venue was quiet; I was in my thoughts, and he was also in his thoughts. I had no idea what was going through his head, but I kept asking myself the same question all over again. Am I in love with him? Why is my heart suddenly beating? Why am I no longer pitying the man in the wheelchair by trying to make him happy, but now I want to do everything willingly? I want to see him smile; I want to cook for him; I want to care for him, and I just want him to remain happy. Is that love, or am I still genuinely pitying his predicament?“We are here,” the driver said from the speaker, and the car stopped. I looked outside, and all I was seeing was a small crowd with enormous cameras, the paparazzi.“I thought this was a private event? Why all the cameras?” I asked, still looking outside the tainted window. They noticed us, and they directed the flash at our car. Of course, Dexter arriving with a convoy of cars makes me wonder just how much power the King has.“Take th

    Aurora POVThe party has been in a full swing, and everyone seems to be socialising. Well, everyone except my family. They have been giving me death stares since the party started. I saw Richie leave; he went to talk to some ladies. Richie is the only person in the family who never raised his hand on me or treated me badly, but he always ignored my existence. He is quite different from Liam.Liam is the first son and the one who is going to take over the Brown empire, and he is just like father. Richie prefers his simple life of ignoring his family and sleeping with the hottest models. He has been engaged in a lot of dating scandals and never seems to be stopping soon. “The way you eat, I am afraid for your stomach,” Dexter said, and I turned to him, swallowing the fudge cake.“I can’t help it,” I said, and he shook his head at me.“That is enough, Aurora, too much sugar,” he said, and I think he was right. I feel full now, so I will stop. I took a glass of water, drank it slowly, and

    Aurora POVThe auction started, and everyone was quiet. I guess this is what people came for mostly. I only ever saw auctions on TV; I never thought I’d experience it, and it was intense. And the price? People are willing to pay for something so ridiculous looking for outrageous amounts. Is this how billionaires behave? Spending so much money on worthless things. Well, it is not worthless if they are paying so much for it. “And the last item we have on the list is this fifty-million-dollar ruby jewellery,” the announcer announced, and the jewellery was on the screen, and I gasped. I have never seen anything so beautiful; everyone was wowed. It is a beautiful ruby necklace with stones adorned on it. The pendant was a big gemstone, and I knew this piece of necklace was supposed to be worth millions.“We will start bidding from fifty million,” he said.“Sixty million,” a lady said, and I held myself from gasping. She jumped so high. “I want that necklace, Brandon,” I heard Eva say. Well

    Aurora POVThe car ride was really quiet. I was so lost in thought. I was finding it hard to believe he would do that, and for what? I admired the jewellery like everyone else; I didn’t expect him to get it. I feel so bad; I have no idea what to say. Soon, we got home, and they wheeled him to his room, dropping the necklace on the table, and they left. He breathed out, closing his eyes as he tried to stretch.“My back is so sore,” he mumbled, and I just kept looking at him, standing beside the bed. His eyes opened, and he looked at me and sighed.“You look like you have a thousand things to say,” he said, and I breathed out.“I just feel awkward,” I mumbled, playing with my nails.“Me buying you a piece of the necklace is awkward?” he asked.“It’s not just a piece, Dexter. It is more than half a million. Why would you get it in my name?” I asked.“Because you looked like you liked it,” he said, stating the obvious. I sighed.“I don’t deserve it,” I mumbled, and he gave me a long look.

    Aurora POVIt was the next day, and I tapped Dexter. He has been sleeping for so long; I made plans for us today, so I need him to be awake.“Wake up,” I said, shaking him. He grumbled, trying to turn his head.“Oh, no you don’t,” I snapped, holding his head.“What do you want?” he asked, his voice deep.“It’s past 10; you have been sleeping enough,” I said, and he sighed, opening his eyes. By the looks of him, you know he had an amazing sleep. His hair was all over the place, his face was moist, and his eyes looked tired. He looks like a mess, a hot mess.“It’s the weekend, Aurora,” he mumbled. I smiled.“Yes, that’s why we both have time to have fun,” I said. He raised his brows.“What fun?” he asked. I smiled, going to the wheelchair.“If you want to find out, you have to dress up,” I said, and he breathed out, rubbing his eyes. He listened to me anyway, taking some few minutes to get himself together, before he went to have his bath. I already picked out his clothes for him, and s

    Aurora POVIt was evening, and I was carrying so many bags with Dexter looking at me. We got to his room, and I collapsed on the chair, breathing out heavily.“I am wasted,” I mumbled, closing my eyes as my back and legs felt so sore. After getting some food, we headed over to watch movies and then visited the mall. I had no idea malls could be so interesting. It was supposed to be window shopping, but I ended up doing so many things and buying things I didn’t need. He watched me all through, looking at me as I got fascinated by everything. Either way, I enjoyed myself. I don’t think I have ever had this much fun, but now I am exhausted.“Well, look at you,” Dexter said, sitting on the couch as he removed his shoes and socks. I sat up, looking at him.“Aren’t you tired?” I asked. He smiled.“I wasn’t the one walking around like a little kid on Christmas,” he said, and I rolled my eyes at him.“Are you hungry?” I asked, and he shook his head.“I don’t feel hungry,” he said, and I smile

    Aurora POVIt’s been two weeks, and things have been going quite well. I made sure he takes his drugs regularly, and I also give him leg massages every night. His legs are not as numb, especially his left foot; he feels it a bit when I massage it, and we are both happy with the progress. He went to work because of an emergency, so I decided to visit Dr. James. I already told him about the progress, and he has been happy. We couldn’t help my grandmother, and I know helping Dexter with his legs was healing us both. I got home, just coming back from the hospital with more drugs, and I smiled. I need to start cooking him his dinner before he gets back. I walked inside and didn’t expect to meet Maya inside. I haven’t seen her since the party, and I totally forgot about her. She was seated on the couch with her legs crossed, and Mary was standing beside her with a smirk, and I knew something was about to go down.“Good evening, Maya,” I greeted, hiding my nervousness with a smile.

I was panicking; the familiar smell, the familiar scenery—it was closing up on me. The house always felt cold, even on the hottest day; I never, for once in my life, ever felt happy going back. It wasn’t a home; it was like a cemetery with people living there. Every day in this house is my worst day. I never wanted to come back here; even if Dexter and I were to go our separate ways, I never wanted to come back. I wanted to start my life afresh and meet new people, but now I am back here, and this time, there won’t be any escapes.“Drop her,” my father’s cold voice said, and I was thrown to the floor harshly. I looked up slowly, and they were all there. Katie was smirking at me. Father looked at me coldly, Mother looked at me in annoyance, Liam was annoyed by my presence, and Richie couldn't care less about me. All different reactions.“Welcome back ho

Dexter has been going to work these days, so when I got bored, I decided to resume in the restaurant. Luca was happy to receive me back at the restaurant, and I was so glad no one was asking me questions about everything that happened.Today is Sunday, and we decided to practice walking. We visited Dr. James yesterday for a check-up, and he gave us good news. He said the nerve in his leg was active, and Dexter confirmed he can feel the touches. So he should be on his feet soon, and I am so happy.“It’s starting to hurt,” he said, looking down at me. I didn’t realise how tall he was until he stood up. I looked so small beside him, and it gave me a sense of security.“Okay, we should stop for today,” I said, smiling at him as he limped to the bed while holding me, of course. He slumped on it, breathing out.“We must have over

    Aurora POVDr. Kyle sat back down on the couch, and I just looked at them. How evil of them to come here and do that? At this point, she is really the one behind the accident. Why would she pretend to love him when she is the one causing the bigger damage?“Mr. King is perfectly fine; he just needs to keep taking his drugs,” he said to Maya, and I wondered, fine? He can’t walk, can’t see properly, has numerous headaches, and they think he is fine? Well, they don’t know he is feeling better now, but that’s the point. All those complaints, and he thinks he’s fine?“The drugs seem not to be working; can we have a change in drugs? Something to help him heal faster; it’s been years,” she said, looking concerned.“Yes, I thought about that. That’s why I brought better medication,” he said, bringing out some drugs in his box. He handed it over to Dexter, and he collected it, looking at the body.“Oh, that’s why you are our family doctor. You know how to think ahead, doesn’t he, son?” She ask

    Annora POVIt’s been a month since everything went back to normal and I have no idea what is going on or what happened with my family. Dexter has remained quiet; knowing him, he won’t have left my family go scot free after what they did to me. His whole calmness about everything is surprising to me; he is not talking about his mother, nor is he talking about mine. I decided not to ask; right now I just need peace. We invited Dr. James about three weeks ago, and he came to check Dexter and also prescribe something for him. Dexter was so grateful he paid for all the services and also awarded him money to last him a lifetime. Dr. James refused, but after much pleading, he agreed to collect the gift, and of course, I was excited for him.“Kyle is coming over today,” Dexter said, working on his laptop, and I looked up.“Who’s that?” I asked. We are in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, and he is just by the corner, pressing his laptop.“My doctor,” he said, and I hummed.“Why is he coming?

    Aurora POV“It started with my grandmother. She had some complications with her legs and all. So, before she died, I knew a lot about some drugs and pills because she took a lot of them,” I said and he nodded his head.“When I got here, I noticed your drugs differed from what was in the container, also Mary acted weird and I was confused. It didn’t make sense to me why anyone would want to give you the wrong drugs. When the doctor came, I wanted to know if he was part of the plan and I confirmed it when he gave you the exact content,” I said and he raised his eyebrows but didn’t interrupt me.“So I took the drugs to the doctor who treated my grandmother, and he confirmed my suspicions. They were the wrong drugs,” I said, looking at him, not knowing how he would feel with what I was about to say next.“What were the drugs I was being fed?” he asked. I breathe out.“It was a drug to worsen your condition; one of them contained a harmful substance that would affect your mental health and

    Aurora POV“She is healed nicely and ready to go home,” the doctor said, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I am tired of staying here; the smell and white paint is choking up on me.“Thank you, doctor,” Dexter said, and the doctor smiled. He turned to me.“Take it easy on yourself, eat healthy, and take your drugs. You are not totally healed yet, but we had to discharge you,” he said, and I nod my head.“I would be sure to do that,” I said, and Dexter shook his head at me.“I will take my leave now,” he said, and I smiled as he left. After he left, I came down from the bed, stretching my back. The nurses had to clean me up and assist me in visiting the restroom; it’s tiring. “Let’s go,” I said, wearing the black palm he got for me, which is a bit oversized. “So energetic,” he mumbled, carrying our bag. Well, it’s just us here; Luca left some hours ago. He has been bringing us food throughout the week, and I have never been so thankful. Mr. King stopped coming some days ago. He left t

    Aurora POVDexter paid rapt attention as the doctor checked me. It looked like he was the one who was sick, and I couldn’t help but smile.“Do you feel any discomfort lying on your back?” the doctor asked.“No,” I replied, and he nodded his head. I was resting on the pillow.“She is perfectly fine; she is recovering well. She needs to eat, though, and she would sleep a lot because of the medications,” he said. I feel tired; I am not sure I can lift my finger. “Okay, we will get her something,” he said, pressing his phone. I can tell he was ordering food. Everyone knows hospital food is trash.“I will take my leave now,” he said after he left. I just slumped on the bed, looking at the ceiling. I would love to drink the vegetable soup my boss makes. Dexter continued tapping on his phone.“What would you like to eat?” he asked. I sighed.“Soup, made by my boss,” I said.“I could order from his restaurant,” he said, and I breathed out.“It’s not on the menu,” I said, feeling so tired. I

He has never been in support of what they did to her, but he only kept quiet because they threatened him. But today, the threat seems no longer to be working; their secret is about to be out in the open and that in front of the King’s. He was the last person they wanted to offend; they never thought he was going to fall for her charms; they thought he was going to treat Aurora worse than they ever did, but on the night of the party they were shocked to find them acting like a lovely couple. She kept stuffing her face, and he kept looking at her with a smile on his face; he laughed at the most stupid thing she did, and they were more shocked to see him getting her something so priceless. No doubt, the young King was head over heels, and Grace didn’t want it. She never wanted her to be happy when her daughter is yet to have the life she wants her to have, so she planned it al

    Dexter POVIt’s been a week and no news yet about Aurora. Someone tampered with the surveillance; there are no clips of the cars passing. Everything was shut down for an hour, so I don’t know where she is. I confronted my mother about the camera, which led to a big fight. Father tried to calm me down; Brandon was trying to defend her, but I know she has something to do with it, and her parents haven’t been helpful. It’s like they don’t even care. I am losing my shit; I can’t eat because I have been worried if she has eaten or if she is sleeping well. I basically eat so I don’t pass out, not to satisfy my hunger.I remembered some cars passing that day; if I had known Aurora was inside, I would have stopped immediately. Everything seemed so planned, the work issue. They called me for an emergency, and getting to the office, the emergency was something they could have all handled. Mother planned everything, which makes me think Aurora might be in danger. How much hate did she harbour fo
