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
Aurora POV“You are doing great,” I said, smiling at him softly as he lifted his right leg, holding me. It’s been around a month, and everything is back to normal. 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 POVYour wedding day, the day that’s supposed to be the happiest day of your life, a day that’s memorable and unforgettable because you are walking down the aisle to meet with the man you will love forever, the man you are going to swear your commitment with. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable day filled with people you love, your family being the happiest folks, your father staring at you in nothing but pure happiness, but sadly, mine was the opposite. It’s the worst day of my life, a day I continually prayed in my heart wasn’t going to be real. I remember two weeks ago, when they broke the news to me, I was getting married to Dexter King in place of my sister. At first, it felt like I was dreaming. Surely, no way I would be getting married to him. The world doesn’t even know the Brown family has two daughters. Katie has been in the spotlight ever since, so why am I getting married to him? But of course, I know I can’t question their decision. I have never questione
Aurora POV“I am sure he is not always like that,” Maya, my mother-in-law, said, smiling at me while holding my hand. I forced out a smile.“Thank you,” I said. She smiled at me, brushing my hair.“You are the most beautiful bride; Dexter is so lucky to have you,” she said, her smile very wide. I nod my head, exhausted. Mr. King came to us. I have met him a few times before the wedding. He was so nice to me, which made me wonder where his son got his attitude from. He smiled at me as he walked towards me, his smile more genuine than others.“I know this is not comfortable for you, but I am sure Dexter will come around,” he said. The funniest thing was he didn’t need to assure me; my father already sold me to them for a business contract. His reassuring words won’t do anything, but I nod my head at him. They smiled at me one last time, walking away. It was just me and my parents with Katie in the big mansion. My brothers didn’t bother sending me off, not like I expected them to.“You’v
Aurora POVI walked inside the house, exhausted. I was just coming back from work and I just wanted to have my bath and crash on my bed, but of course that won’t be possible today as I met Dexter in the living room, he was sitting on the couch, some files on it with his laptop on his lap. After that horrible night, I made sure I was steered clear of his way. It’s been two weeks and I can finally resume work. It’s been lonely in this mansion and resuming work has been refreshing. I ignored him, trying to work faster to the elevator.“Come back here,” he snapped. I sighed, stopping in my tracks. I turned around, walking towards him. I inspected him and I couldn’t help but wonder, why is he so handsome. And with how long his legs are, I can see he will be very tall when standing. I couldn’t deny the fact that he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He has the most beautiful olive skin, with grey eyes which honestly complement his skin, and those jaws. What I would do to run my fing
Aurora POVIt was the next morning, and I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t stop remembering what happened in the living room. Is he going to divorce me? Is he going to inform Mr. King I almost killed him? I kept thinking of the worst scenario, screaming into the pillow anytime I remember. I also thought about how I will break the awful news to my boss. He won’t want to let me go and he has been my backbone for 5 years. I was conflicted about killing Dexter or apologizing for what I did. I flinched hearing the knock on my door. I breathe out, standing up and walking to the door. I opened it and Mary stood in front of me.“Good morning Mrs. King, Mr. King wants you in his bedroom,” she said and I bit my lips. I’m so fucked.“Um, how is he? How is his head?” I asked.“He had a horrible night, the push gave him severe headache, he couldn’t sleep, and we called the doctors this morning. They just left after prescribing some medications,” she said and I gasped. Was it that bad? I’m so dead.“Oh m
Aurora POVI stood in front of his door, checking the time on my phone. Mary said, 8 pm on the dot, and I wanted to keep to time so he won’t get more angry at me. The clock turned 8, and I knocked gently on his door. “Come in,” he grumbled from behind the door. I took a deep breath, opening the door, and his room was dim; not much light was on. I looked around the room because he wasn’t on the bed. “Here,” his deep voice said, and I flinched, turning to my side. I held my chest, looking at him; he was seated on the couch. I walked to him, and he was holding his phone, checking the time.“Right in time,” he said, and I could barely make out his face.“Have your seat,” he said, and I sat in front of him, using my phone to see. The lights turned on after he snapped his finger, and I could finally see. I looked at him, and I couldn’t control the laugh I burst. I laughed out loud, covering my mouth to muffle the sound of my laughter, but it only made it worse. He frowned, and I laughed m
Aurora POVIt was the next day, and I woke up so early and headed to his room. He was still very asleep, and I am sure he had no idea I was in his room. I may have watched him sleep a bit; I couldn’t control myself; he looked so handsome sleeping. I haven’t seen a man as handsome as he is; I also love how relaxed he looked, not grumpy. Well, after ogling for a few minutes, I got to work. I cleaned his room, the closet, and the restroom, all the while trying not to make any noise, and when he finally woke up, I was done.“Good morning,” I said, smiling at him brightly. He looked at me, sleep still clear in his eyes, but when he finally registered I was standing in front of him, the sleep cleared immediately. Now I miss how serene he looked when he was asleep.“What are you doing here?” he asked in a deep voice. My heart jumped at how good his early morning sounded. I don’t mind waking up to this.“I came to do my chores,” I said. He looked at me, confused.“What chores?” he asked, and

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
Third Person POVThe city felt so quiet, everyone still digesting the breaking news of the Brown family. They always wondered why they hid their second daughter from the spotlight; at least everyone knows the reason now. Maya ran down the hallway, her heart beating. She has been jealous of her daughter-in-law; Dexter always pays attention to her and tries to make her happy. She was so jealous and angry when he got her that jewellery, and she knew her son was in love; she didn’t want to start dealing with that. So Aurora had to go. When Grace came to meet her, she was glad they both had the same goal. But Maya didn’t expect her to do that. The guards sent her the video, and she was shocked to see her in that condition. The abuse has definitely been going on for a while. She immediately left the house, heading to the hospital. Maya knew she had fucked up badly; her son knows everything after she denied knowing her whereabouts. Now she is in danger. She saw her husband sitting down, and
Third Person POVRonald and Grace both knew they were fucked up after their son, Richie, started speaking. 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
