LOGINDamien didn’t stutter. He simply wanted his wife to understand why he had done what he did.Aurora sat on the bed and lowered her head.“You don’t have to forgive me if you don’t want to. But I want you home, Aurora. Please, sweetheart,” Damien pleaded.Aurora sighed.She was confused and didn’t know what to do.She looked at Damien, the man who was her husband, the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.But he was cruel.Could she really continue living with him?Could she overlook everything he had done?Those questions replayed endlessly in her mind.“It was to protect you,” Damien said as he stood up.“Protect me?” Aurora scoffed.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Aurora stood up to answer it, but Damien stopped her.“I’ll get it.”He opened the door and found Mason standing outside.“Why are you here?” Damien asked coldly.“Aurora,” Mason called.Aurora walked over.“Let him in, Damien,” she said.“No, don’t worry. I only came to let you know that Dad agreed t
Mason struck Damien’s hands repeatedly, trying to free himself, but he was no match for him.James watched in horror as Mason’s eyes began to bulge. He quickly looked around, desperately searching for a way to stop his boss before he seriously hurt him.Suddenly, an idea came to him.He immediately pulled out his phone.“Boss! Boss! Madam is calling!” he shouted.Damien instantly released Mason.Mason dropped to his knees, coughing violently as he struggled to catch his breath.Damien slowly turned toward James, who immediately lowered his head.“Forgive me, sir. She didn’t—”“Urgh!”James groaned in pain as Damien drove a punch into his stomach.“That’s for lying to me,” Damien said coldly before turning back to Mason.“You should leave before I snap the life out of you.”Mason cleared his throat and slowly got to his feet.“I’m not scared of you, Damien. Your wife doesn’t want to see you until you reveal your hidden child. I can’t believe you hid a child you had with Beverly after e
The car fell silent. Aurora looked at her husband. His hands tightened around the steering wheel before he started the engine again and drove off.“I asked you a question,” she said before looking away.“Yes. It wasn’t planned,” he admitted.Aurora scoffed.“Not planned? Just when I thought our marriage was finally on the right track, another unplanned child appears. How old is he?” she asked, trying hard not to shed tears.“Three months old. He’s not with me. He’s with his foster parents,” Damien replied.Aurora frowned.“I… I don’t understand. What do you mean he’s with his foster parents?”“It’s my past. I didn’t tell you because it’s my past,” Damien answered.Aurora looked away in disbelief.“Three months? Your past? Damien, when will I finally get some closure in this marriage? When will Beverly stop being a part of our lives? I’ve been through enough. I’ve suffered enough, Damien. I… I don’t want to live like this anymore.”She wiped away the tears that had already begun to fal
Aurora gasped when she saw Simon. She rushed out and ran toward him.“Simon! Oh goodness, you’re alive! I saw you… You died. I…”“I had to die, ma’am, to save my mother’s life,” he replied, making Aurora frown. She turned toward her husband, who let out a sigh.“It’s a long story,” Damien said.“I’m sorry for leaving. I miss working with—”“Meet me at the stable,” Damien interrupted.“But you offended my husband. He said you betrayed him, and that’s why he killed you,” Aurora said, making Simon smile.“That’s just a story, ma’am,” he replied.“Simon!” an elderly woman called.Simon turned around.“Mom,” he said before looking back at Aurora.“That’s my mother. You two can catch up while I go see the boss,” he said before walking away.“Aww, Damien’s pretty little wife,” the elderly woman said with a warm smile.“Good day, ma’am,” Aurora greeted politely.“Good day, my dear,” the woman replied.“Are you pregnant?” she asked.Aurora nodded shyly with a smile.“How did you know?”“I’m a
Aurora gasped, then looked at her stained clothes before lifting her eyes to Quin.Quin looked at her stained skirt, then hissed in anger. Both women stared at each other with burning hostility.“Get me something to change this minute!” Aurora said angrily, and Cynthia immediately nodded.“Yes, ma’am,” she said, but Aurora stopped her.“Not you, Cynthia. The culprit — the one who caused this.”Aurora looked at Quin, who turned and left immediately.The staff and customers nearby began to murmur as some customers quickly brought out their phones to record the scene.Aurora turned away and headed to the VIP section to clean up.⸻Immediately, the news hit the internet.“A SPOILT RICH HEIRESS SCREAMING AT HER SECRETARY FOR SPILLING ORANGE JUICE ON HER DRESS.”Views climbed instantly as people became curious about who the rich heiress was and what family she belonged to.Comments poured in. Some supported the heiress, while others sided with the secretary. The internet became divided, and
Aurora and Cynthia looked at Quin, who kept a sly smile on her face as the elevator continued going down.Aurora didn’t want to speak anymore, but she refused to allow such a woman — one who was lowering herself just to be seen with her boss and who was purposely annoying her — to have the last word.“Tell me,” Aurora said, “since you know my husband’s style.”Quin turned to look at her, then faced front again.“Elegance. Not some cute, childish style. Who does a ponytail to visit their husband?” she smirked.Aurora chuckled.“Then you don’t know him. I won’t be explaining my husband’s taste to someone who wears a pink bra under a white office shirt.”Cynthia chuckled.The elevator opened, and Aurora intentionally brushed against Quin as she walked out. Quin frowned and looked at Cynthia.“Excuse me,” Cynthia said as she rushed toward Aurora.“Join the guards,” Aurora said to Quin, who was already approaching her Porsche.Cynthia chuckled as she entered the Range Rover behind.Quin wa
Inside the wet, dark cell room, two men sat far from each other. They didn’t know how many hours they had been there, but it felt like an eternity.“I told you we should leave, but you relied on that bastard who can’t even outdo his brother. Now look where we are,” one of the men said, causing the ot
Mason took a deep breath, trying to process Damien’s words. “I understand your anger, but going down that road can lead to more chaos. You need to think this through.”Damien sat up in bed as if he hadn’t been unconscious hours ago, his eyes blazing with intensity. “Thinking hasn’t gotten me anywhere
Aurora sat on the edge of the worn motel bed, staring at her reflection in the cracked mirror. The dull, yellowed walls around her seemed to press in closer with each passing day, suffocating her with the weight of her situation. The motel, with its flickering lights and musty carpets, had become a
The drive to the villa was intense and fast. Daniel kept tapping his fingers on his legs, unable to believe what his grandfather had just done to him. He bit his lower lip, anxious. Was this because he refused to go to California? No, the old man couldn’t be this cruel to him. No way, he was part of
