Aurora's POV

It was already 9 PM, and just as Lord Frederick had said, Cain hadn’t returned, nor had I gotten a call from him. I managed to put William to sleep and even had dinner, took my bath, and now lay on the bed while waiting for Cain. It's not like I missed him or anything, but I was just curious to know if he had had the talk with Lord Frederick and if he had accepted the offer.

Ever since I came back from Lord Frederick’s home, I have not been able to take him out of my head. There was this strange sense of belonging around him that I couldn’t quite place; it was as if I had known him all my life when, actually, I met him just a day ago. Cain had told me little about Lord Frederick, and what he said seemed different. According to Cain, Lord Frederick is a brutal mafia lord, but the man who tenderly kissed my hands didn’t seem like the person Cain had described.

Inhaling deeply, I closed my eyes to try to get some sleep, but the images of Lord Frederick filled my mind; I just

    Aurora's POVI could feel his eyes on me as we ate, but I didn’t find it awkward. Instead, I felt my cheeks burning. The way he stared at me was like I was the most precious thing in his eyes. There was this spark of warmth I always saw in his eyes whenever they interlocked, or perhaps I was just seeing things.“Are you done?” he asked, and I nodded. “Thank you,” I said and saw him smile, revealing a beautiful smile that looked exactly like William’s.“Come with me, my dear,” he gestured, and my heart fluttered at his words. It wasn’t just the words but the way he said them—it was as if he meant it, and I couldn’t help but wish to hear him say it again.Taking his hand, I felt a tingle in my body, and I had to swallow hard and look away. “I have to show you around. Today, you will have to know everything about me, and tomorrow and the next days, you will be meeting my uncle,” he said while I just nodded and followed his lead.First, he led me to a big room filled with books.

    Aurora's POVStunned and dumbfounded, I stared at him, waiting for him to laugh and say it was a joke, that he was teasing me, but he didn’t. Instead, he had a stern and serious look on his face. I lowered my gaze. “You are joking, right?” I asked, but he moved closer to me and held my chin with the tip of his index finger, causing my eyes to lock with his, sending a cold shiver down my spine.“It’s not a joke,” he declared, his voice rough and dominant, making my knees quiver. “Aurora was…” He paused and sucked in a deep breath, as if stopping himself from saying what he wanted to say. “Let’s leave that aside.” He sighed and took a step away, causing me to swallow awkwardly and look away from him.“I think we are done here,” he said, and I nodded, my eyes still glancing around the room, which I found strange yet familiar. “We should leave,” he said and led the way, while I tried to follow, but something flashed in my head. It was blurred, but I could pick something from it.I saw mys

    Aurora’s POVI didn’t know what the feeling was as it kept lingering in my head. I couldn’t put a particular label on how I was feeling, and I just wanted to rest my head for a while.This was the first time I’d had this flashback-like vision hit. It was blurry, and I couldn’t understand what I was trying to remember. My head was aching as curiosity got the best of me.Lord Frederick noticed this and paused, staring at me with a worried look plastered on his face.“Are you okay? You seem bothered,” he started with a calm look on his face, but I could also see the care in his eyes.“I don’t know, my head hurts, I feel sick,” I muttered in a troubled tone.I didn’t want to tell him about the vision I couldn’t remember because I had nothing to say, but staying in that room seemed to have triggered it. It felt like I’d been there before, and that seemed like an unsolved puzzle to me.“Oh, sorry. You need to go to bed then. You’re probably tired and need some rest. I’ll take care of that f

    Aurora’s POV She was very energetic, seemed younger and more vibrant than I could ever be. I was lost in her eyes as I looked around, scanning the area. The park was bright, and the grass there was greener than I’d ever seen. It felt unreal because it looked too real. The sun shone brightly, but still, it wasn’t harsh on the skin. She shone like a particular artifact, her smile, and giggle catching my attention every single time. I looked over at her, and she was having a conversation with a man, judging by the voice. I could only see her talking and getting engrossed in the conversation, but I couldn’t see who she was talking to. This bothered me, so I moved closer to hear what she was saying properly. I heard it well, but it was still impossible to see who she was talking to. I was lost in her eyes; they were pure, alluring, and compelling. I just couldn’t get her face out of my head as she spoke softly and gently. “Oh no, you’re too funny.” “For you, I’ll always be a circus

    Lord Frederick's POV The door opened and Fox walked in with the file that contained all I needed to know about Cain. “This is it, boss.” Fox dropped the file on the desk and I nodded before picking it up. Opening the file, I went through it and realized Cain was here three years ago for a business deal, and perhaps that was when he took Aurora. Going through the file, I realized he took Aurora to a small private hospital but, after a few minutes, he flew her out of the country on a private jet. Anger bubbled inside of me and I clutched the paper in my hand. I wished I could kill him, make him pay for stealing Aurora from me, for making me go through the torture of staying away from her. I wished I could cut off his hand for daring to touch her, but I decided not to be irrational. I have to achieve my goal, and it would take me just a week to do that. “We have tracked all his business and are just waiting for your go-ahead,” Fox explained while I nodded and signaled for him to lea

    Lord Frederick's POVShe glanced at me as if wanting to get an answer from me, which I wish I could give. I wish I could give those answers to her, but not now. I have to make sure I deal with Cain first before explaining everything to her.“This is confusing,” Aurora murmured and looked away from me. Moving her gaze around, I could see her face etched with confusion. She seemed so confused about the whole situation, and I pitied her but held myself back.“Why are we here?” she asked, moving her attention back to me.“I’m here to see a man who is a friend of my uncle. He is a lecturer here, and I want to introduce him to you as my girlfriend, so make sure you put on a good act,” I explained to her and saw her swallow nervously, but she nodded.“Good! Let’s go in.” Flashing her a weak smile, I led the way to Mike's office. Mike and I were university buddies back in our youth. After graduation, Mike became a professor while I continued operating in mafia business. Just yesterday, I call

    Aurora’s POV Stunned, I glanced at him, and he smiled at me. “Aurora would lie just to make me come here with her. We will practically spend the whole day here.” He added, a small smile spreading across his face. It was obvious those memories were really special to him, but what I couldn’t understand was why I saw myself in this pack, talking to a man who has the voice of Lord Frederick. What sort of dream was that? And why would I dream of this place when it is clear that I haven’t been to California all my life? That is exactly what Cain said unless he was lying. “Let's have a seat.” He gestured for us to sit on the mat one of his men had spread out for us. Obeying his words, I sat on the mat and continued looking around the pack. The place was empty, which got me curious, and I had to ask, “Are they closed for today, or didn’t they open?” A park was usually crowded, but this pack was empty, not a single soul apart from the gatekeeper. “I paid for the whole day.

    Lord Frederick's POV “What else?” I asked Fox, who was reading through his palmtop. “His parents are still alive, but they are based in France.” I raised a brow at that information. “Really?” I smirked. “Cain’s parents are alive?” “Yes, boss.” I smiled at the thought of it. “Go on.” “He has two younger siblings between the ages of twenty-four and twenty. They also live in France,” Fox announced, and I nodded. “What else?” “Cain grew up in France, and at the age of eighteen, he left,” Fox explained, and I nodded. “Go on.” “Cain was once married to a lady named Rita, but they got divorced after two years of marriage. That is all about his personal life, sir,” Fox said and dropped the palmtop on my desk. Silence hung in the air as Fox waited for me to say something, but I remained silent as I tried drafting a plan. After a long moment of silence, I spoke. “Send men to keep eyes on his family. We will make very good use of them when the time comes.” I instructed Fox, who nodded

    Aurora's POVMy eyes widened at what lay before me. We were at the seashore, but what left me dumbfounded was the sandy floor adorned with red roses and candles. A wave of sweet fragrance hit my senses. I looked around and saw the most beautifully decorated space I could have ever imagined. A cold breeze gently caressed my face as I took in the breathtaking view.A trail of rose petals in shades of burgundy and cherry red led me to a small seating area set up with comfortable cushions and throws. As I approached, I saw a table covered with red satin cloths and silverware, complete with a bottle of my favorite wine. The sound of my favorite music played in the background.I turned and held Lord Frederick’s gaze, asking, “What’s this?” He took a deep breath before speaking.“You know how much I love you, right?” My heart fluttered as I looked into his eyes. “Of course,” I replied with a smile.I watched him take a deep breath and get down on his knees. “I know that this is too early, bu

    Aurora's POVThree months laterLord Frederick led me to the jet that was waiting for us. It was huge, and the inside was bigger than it looked. He helped me into a seat and sat right across from me. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. I was beyond excited about our trip and was looking forward to everything we were going to do. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the flight, helping me to calm down when there was some turbulence, and just being there for me.We finally arrived, and the jet landed. We got out, and there was a car already waiting for us. Our luggage was put into the back before we got in, and the car started. We were taken to a huge hotel. It was a five-star hotel and looked expensive. It was stunning, and immediately we got out of the car, we were ushered inside. Lord Frederick had already booked a suite in advance, so we were taken to the room, which was on one of the top floors.When we got to the room, I was awed by how beautiful it was. It had everything you

    Lord Frederick's POV Dinner was served to me at the table, but I couldn’t eat. In fact, I kept staring at the table as the quietness of the mansion made my heart ache. There was no Aurora, there was no William, and it seemed parts of my life were taken away from me. Somehow I was beginning to regret; perhaps I shouldn’t have sent her away, but then I knew I had to do what had to be done. If she desires to leave, then I have to respect her wish and let her go. “Boss, sir Ian is calling,” Fox said as he handed over the phone to me. I took it and placed it on my ear. “Ian,” I cleared my throat. “Frederick, what is going on?” he asked, and a lump formed in my throat. “Are you serious about leaving them here?” he asked, while I remained silent, not knowing what to say or do. “Aurora hasn’t been herself since she arrived, and I believe you know that. And William, he has been asking for you. Frederick, they need you; don’t send them away,” Ian urged while I just remained silent and s

    Aurora's POV All through the night, I couldn’t sleep as I kept thinking about Lord Frederick’s decision. I knew he had given me what I wanted, to leave with William for my father’s place, but I couldn’t explain why I wasn’t excited about it. “Because you still love him, Aurora. He is still your daddy,” a little voice spoke in my head, and I couldn’t deny it. Despite my anger and everything, I had never stopped loving Lord Frederick, and now that we were together again after years of being apart, I didn’t want to stay away from him. But how do I tell him that? “Mama.” I heard William’s voice and turned to see him waking up from his sleep. “Good morning, William. How are you?” I placed a kiss on his forehead. “Good morning, Mummy.” He responded while I smiled at him. “Come on, let’s go bath and go downstairs for breakfast,” I said to William before leading him out of bed. After I bathed him, I dressed him up and gave him his toys to play with before I went to freshen up. Taking his

    AURORA'S POVA light sigh eased through my lips as I tucked William into bed gently. I didn't want to wake him after today's experiences; it was the second time I had endangered his life in a shootout. He was too young for things like this; he could barely talk clearly. But at least it was good to see that Cain was dead, and so far, things had calmed down.I sighed before relaxing back into the chair, my gaze lingering on Frederick's for a while.He hadn't said anything throughout the drive home and had stayed close to me while we returned. He watched silently as I put William to bed.My eyes shifted from his eyes down to his side; a gasp escaped my lips. How had I not seen this earlier?“You are bleeding, Frederick,” I said. He looked down at the side of his shirt, now soaked with blood.“I know,” he responded with absolute nonchalance before locking his gaze back with mine.“Let's get it treated. You need it treated,” I added hastily, but he shook his head and gave me a steely gaze.

    LORD FREDERICK'S POV“Sir!” Jason called out hastily. I exchanged glances with Fox and then moved my gaze back to Jason, who had called out to me in a tone of urgency.“Excuse us,” I ordered the men in the room; they all bowed and nodded slowly before making their way out, leaving Jason, who was the head of the tech team, my most trusted man, and myself in the room.“Is anything wrong with the bracelet? I did ask you to be careful when putting in the tracking chip, so what have you done this time, Jason? Everyone doesn't seem to understand their jobs anymore,” I complained, groaning and fuming with anger as I spoke.“About that, the tracking device is working perfectly. As a matter of fact, I got signaled just now that Miss Aurora had left the building; she seems to be on the move, in a cab, and headed somewhere,” Jason explained. For a moment, I wasn't sure how to feel.“Cain,” I muttered beneath my breath before rising to my feet. How dare he? He did not only put William under my wa

    Aurora's POVEver since I heard Cain's terms over the phone to get William back, I had been restless. My mind had been thrown in a haze coupled with a splitting headache. I paced back and forth in my room, worry struck. I needed to do something, find a way, I needed to think, but nothing was coming up. I wasn't entirely sure my father knew about the situation, and maybe keeping it away from him for a while was the best option available, yet I couldn't just sit and do nothing.My tummy growled for the fourth time in a row, reminding me I had not eaten anything all day and night yet how could I? Perhaps Cain wasn't that heartless; William did consider him a father at some point; maybe William would be fed; those were the things I had hoped for, but what were the chances that my hopes were everything but wrong?What if I had been screwed over? What will I be left doing then? Then I thought deeper; I was simply scared. I felt knots tied in the pit of my belly; I would make that exchange

  • My Godfather’s Irresistible Pet   Mistake

    Lord Frederick's POVAs soon as Cain disconnected the call, I exchanged glances with Aurora; she had tears streaming out of her eyes already, sniffing hard and wailing. She was in pain, and so was I, but I couldn't falter; I needed to be strong. This was all my fault; I should have suspected that something was odd about Cain when he brought her to me.I should have known he was up to no good and gotten rid of him, but my carelessness had caused him to escape, and now things seemed to have spun beyond my control. I drew in a loud sigh before pulling closer to Aurora. I don't like seeing her in tears or pain; I would have murdered anyone who caused her to cry in cold blood, but this time I was the one standing at the other end of the knife.“Aurora, I'm sorry, but I promise I will get our son back.” She shoved my hand as I attempted to lay it on her shoulder; her eyes were hard as she raised her gaze to match mine.“Our son? Isn't this the mess that brought him down here? None of this w

    AURORA'S POV“William?” I called out his name, slowly peering through the window. I shrugged slowly, knowing how much of a loose person he was. I never really expected him to remain in the room, to be honest.I wiggled into dry clothes, drying my hair with a towel as I made my way toward the entrance. I barely left him alone for five minutes, and he's already disappeared into thin air.“Has anyone seen William?” I asked one of the men I ran into; he shook his head negatively, and I nodded with a smile in response before making my way back toward the door. Something was odd, very odd about him; I could have used my time better.But I knew if he wasn't playing around in the corridors, he would, of course, be with Frederick.As much as I wanted to avoid him at all costs, I had to bring William back. I didn't want him getting too attached to Frederick; that way it wouldn't be much trouble when it’s time for us to leave.“Is William in here?” I asked as soon as I made my way into the room.
