Aurora's POV On our way to the next shelf, one of his men walked up to him and whispered something into his ear. Lord Frederick nodded and signaled the man to leave. “Give me a moment,” he excused himself and moved away from me. I watched him take a phone from Fox, and then he placed it to his ear and began to speak. I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but from his facial expression, I knew he wasn’t happy. He seemed annoyed and upset. Not able to take my eyes off him, I watched until he ended the call and gave the phone back to Fox before coming back to me. “Is everything alright?” I was worried that he was going to send me back. “Everything is fine,” he flashed me a weak smile, which I wasn’t convinced by. “I’m not a kid. You may be way older than me, but that doesn’t mean I’m a kid. I can tell when something is wrong,” I murmured and saw a smile playing at the corner of his lips. “Really?” he raised a brow and got closer to me so that we were just an inch apart. “You are no
Aurora's POV A broad smile spread across his face as he left me and sat at the seat behind the desk. Staring one more time at the picture, I smiled at it before dropping it on the desk. I moved around the office, checking out the certificates and awards. A particular award caught my attention, and I had to pick it up. “Winner: Most Successful businessman of the Year, 2023.” I read it out and smiled before dropping it back on the shelf. I went through other awards and was amazed by his collection. It seemed he bagged awards every year. A sense of pride filled me to know that I had fallen in love with an incredible man. “What do you wish to have for refreshments? I'll tell my men to get it.” I turned towards his direction and noticed he had taken off his suit and tie and was only left with his white shirt. I gulped as I found it sexy, wishing I could unbutton his shirt and run my fingers beneath it. “Aurora.” He called me back to my senses. “Pizza.” I murmured and looked away. H
Aurora's POV: He led me back into his office, but just then his phone began ringing, and he picked it up. I watched him listen to the person on the other end of the call, and I noticed a big frown appearing on his face, which meant the call wasn’t a good one. “I'm on my way,” he ended the call and looked in my direction. “I will have to ask my men to take you back home.” “Why?” I asked while getting up on my feet. “I have to be somewhere…” “I'm coming,” I cut in. He shook his head and stepped closer to me. “I can't let you come with me.” “But you promised we'd spend the whole day together,” I frowned. “If I'm not going with you, then you are not leaving. I'm staying here with you, and we are going home together,” I spoke stubbornly. Lord Frederick stared at me, and I could see that he wanted to say something, but he held back his words. “Fine.” He went for his suit, put it on, and then walked out of the office while I followed behind. We got into the car, and Fox starte
Lord Frederick's POVSoon, I realized she had fallen asleep quickly, probably because she was tired. Sighing inwardly, I gently caressed her hair as I pondered my thoughts. The attraction I felt for Aurora was becoming abnormal. I was supposed to see her as my little girl, but that wasn’t the case anymore. I now saw her as a grown woman to whom I was sexually attracted. I thought perhaps it was my lack of sex that made me feel this way, but after being with Casandra, I realized it wasn’t just about sex; it was something greater than that. Love? I couldn’t really tell.“Mmm,” Aurora mumbled in her sleep, wrapping her arm around my waist and squeezing herself against me, her leg draped over mine. Her warmth seeped through my clothes, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of tenderness mixed with guilt. How had things gotten to this point? My once clear-cut role as her godfather and protector had become muddied by these new and confusing feelings. Was it wrong to want more, to see her not
Lord Frederick's POVI swallowed nervously at her words but didn’t move away.“You don’t have to do it,” I said firmly, not wanting her to sense the uneasiness I felt from her touch.She leaned towards my ear, her hot breath fanning my skin. “I want to,” she whispered, and I groaned inwardly. She didn’t know how her actions were driving me insane. How could she effortlessly turn me on without even trying?“Relax and let me,” she whispered one more time before she moved away from my ear.My body tensed as Aurora's hands kneaded my shoulders, her touch gentle yet firm. Each press of her fingers seemed to melt away a layer of tension, but it also stirred something deeper within me. I struggled to keep my breathing steady, the conflicting emotions raging inside me.Aurora's fingers moved expertly, and I couldn't help but admire how much she had grown. She was no longer the little girl who looked up at me with innocent eyes; she was a woman, and I was increasingly aware of her as such. The
Aurora's POVI could see the dumbfounded and shocked look in his eyes when he heard me say those words. Walking back into his room, I never expected to catch him pleasuring himself, though I didn't see his Dick, I could still tell what he was doing. He was stroking himself, and his hand was still there; he hadn't taken it off, neither had he zipped up.“What are you saying?” He didn’t seem happy with my words, but I wasn't going to take them back. I could tell that he felt the same way I did about him. Although I wasn't entirely sure, walking in on him giving himself a handjob just after I had finished massaging him was a clear indication that he felt the same way. If he wasn’t man enough to make the first move, then I would.I moved closer to him and saw him quickly zip up and stand on his feet, his bulge still noticeable in his pants. I gulped at the sight of it, imagining how it would feel to be deflowered by such length.“Aurora, stop it,” Lord Frederick grunted when he caught me
Lord Frederick’s POV I took a long draw of the cigar, and then I took a long sip of the whiskey. My thoughts flooded back to what had happened a few minutes ago, and I couldn’t believe it. Aurora had been harboring such silly thoughts in her head, thoughts I had been deliberately trying to kill. My little Aurora was having them, and she wasn’t ashamed or scared to say it to my face. I could see the desire for me in her eyes; she wanted me just like the way I wanted her, but it was a silly thing to do. Even the mere thought of it was irking me. Aurora was special to me; perhaps I might have developed some feelings for her, but they would die off really soon. Yes, I was really sure of that. “Sir, you are running late,” Fox said to me, and I nodded and handed the cigar to him. “I will be going alone,” I announced to him before walking away. I met a car already waiting for me. Taking the key from my driver, I got into the car, started the engine, and drove out of the mansion. As
Aurora's POV As he kissed me roughly, I felt him search for the zipper of my dress. He unzipped it and removed the top part of the dress before pulling it down to my stomach. He groaned into the kiss, deepening it and increasing the pace. I was running out of breath, struggling to keep up with him, but I didn’t pull away because I was scared he would stop if I did. His strong grip landed on my breasts, squeezing them, and I groaned in pleasure. Swiftly and easily, he took off my bra, making me wonder how many bras he had unhooked to be this fast. But I brushed it off and focused on the intense kiss. He took off my bra and withdrew from the kiss. Panting, we held each other's gaze, and I saw his eyes lower to my exposed breasts. Feeling his piercing gaze, I felt shy. I had never been this way before a man, and not just any man but Lord Frederick, whom I had a crush on since I was fifteen. I had the urge to cover my breasts with my hands, but I knew if I showed any sign of shyness
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
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.
