Aurora POV

After Dexter slept off, I stayed for a while, making sure he was asleep. Then I stood up, looking for his drugs. It was on the centre table, and I sighed, looking at it. I seriously doubt I would allow him to take these pills; if he tries to take them, I would feel so guilty, but how do I stop him from taking them? He takes them every day, and Dr. James hasn’t given me the other pills.

“What do I do?” I mumbled, running a hand through my hair. I bite my lips. Maybe I should cook him dinner while pondering what to do. I breathe out, leaving his room and heading to the kitchen. I got to the kitchen, and Mary, with two maids, was cooking.

I entered, washing my hands and wearing an apron. I went to look for all my ingredients, and thankfully, they had all the ingredients. I am going to cook him a tasty soup with freshly made garlic bread by the side. And of course some fruits. I will handle his food from now on, and I will make sure it’s all healthy. The drugs need to wea

    Aurora POVIt was the next day, and I woke up tiredly. My night was a long one; I didn’t realise how exhausted I was; Dexter drained me completely. But thankfully, I was able to get a good sleep. I left my room, heading to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. The house was quiet as usual, so I just walked to the kitchen aimlessly. But as I got closer to the living room, I was hearing voices, so curious, I headed to the living room. I breathe out as my eyes landed on Mrs. King; she looked graceful as usual. Why is she here? I haven’t heard anything from her since the marriage. Mary looked up, and her eyes locked on me, and she smirked. Did she perhaps report something to Mrs. King? Her confidence and smirk were too glaring to pass by. Anyway, I walked towards them, putting on a polite smile.“Good morning, Mrs. King,” I said, bowing my head a bit. She looked up at me, and a beautiful smile lifted on her face. Mrs. King is a really beautiful woman, always so graceful and soft-sp

    Aurora POV“We were able to turn it into a syringe; this should last for a week, one in the morning and the other at night. It was going to take more time to make, so I told them to do this for it to last a week before then. The remaining would be ready,” he said, showing me the syringe. I nod my head, collecting it.“When you get home, discard all the pills and put this in; they have almost the same shape, so he won’t be able to notice,” he said, and I looked at the pills.“What about the drugs you wanted to check?” I asked. He nodded his head.“I was getting to that. So the first one we checked the content, and the content was banned. Anyone caught using it would be locked up for a long time,” he said, and I was confused.“This drug is addictive; most drug abuse cases are people using this drug. If he has been taking it, he is supposed to be having some mild symptoms. Change in moods, hallucination, then slowly it gets worse, and he starts having mental illness, talking to himself, a

    Aurora POVI woke up and headed straight to Dexter’s room, and when I got there, he was sound asleep. Grabbing the opportunity, I took all his drugs, running to my room and draining everything in the water closet. Then I successfully changed all the pills, following Dr. James’ instruction. I took a deep breath, looking at the pills, and they looked the same.“Nothing unusual,” I mumbled. Then I left my room, heading to his room, and I bumped into Mary. She was carrying a tray, and she looked at me suspiciously.“What are you doing with his drugs?” she asked, and I smiled.“I forgot them in my room when I was packing his food this morning, so I went to get it,” I replied. She looked at me suspiciously, but I ignored her, heading to his room. I bite my lips, hoping I didn’t act suspicious. When we got to his room, he was still asleep, and I dropped the drugs. Mary kept looking at me suspiciously, and she took one of the drugs, opening it and looking at it.“What? You think I put poison

    Aurora POVWe were in the afternoon, and I was sitting around in his room as he attended to some work on his laptop. We have had breakfast since, and of course, I added the drug to his food, which he didn’t notice. I am thankful he gave me permission to be the one attending to him, so it would be easier. I left his room when I got a call. What I ordered was here, and the men helped me take it to the room using the elevator. Dexter looked at us as we entered the room, and he was confused.“You can drop it there,” I said, pointing to the right-hand side of his room, leading to the balcony. They dropped it, and I smiled.“Thank you,” I said, and they nodded their heads, leaving. Dexter looked at me.“What is that?” he asked. I smiled, taking the small knife on the plate, and I tore open the carton. He watched me as I unboxed it.“Is that a massage chair?” he asked, and I smiled, removing everything.“Surprise!” I yelled, looking at me, and his mouth hung open. I frowned; he doesn’t like

    Aurora POV“Tell me, why did you become a chef?” Dexter asked as I blew dry his hair in front of the mirror in his closet. “Well, I have always loved cooking. I have been cooking for as long as I remember, and when I finished high school, I was fortunate enough to get a job at the restaurant,” I said. He hummed. “So, you didn’t go to college?” He asked, and I nodded my head, and he looked at me, surprised.“How is it possible for the daughter of the Brown family not to have gone to college?” he asked, and I smiled. He must think my family is one big supportive family; no one has any idea what I went through with them. I shrugged my shoulders.“I didn’t see it as a big deal,” I said, and he raised his eyebrows.“I know your brothers; we went to college together, and I knew when your sister entered the college because I was part of the people in charge, and I remembered seeing her name, so how come you didn’t go?” He asked, and I didn’t want to talk about it.“It was a choice,” I said

    Aurora POVToday 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

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

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

    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
