FREDERICK's POV.I paced back and forth in my room, my eyes pinned on my wristwatch. I felt uneasy. Was something wrong? Did anything happen to her? Why was she running late? Did I by chance make her uncomfortable?All these questions made my belly churn; it made me sick, seeing how I could do nothing but wait. It still had a lot of stuff in my mind; I barely slept; my mind had been reoccupied with her; I waited all night to spend time with her. “Anyone there?” I called out,The door opened slowly, and one of the security's men made his way into the room. “You called for me, sire!” He asked, and I nodded.“Tell the driver to head on to Cain's house, and being down Tiana here, she's running late, and I don't like being delayed.” I ordered.He nodded. In response to my words before excusing himself out the door, slouched my shoulders before sinking into the couch. My heart was racing merely thinking about her. I regret a lot of my past decisions.I should have just told her the truth
AURORA'S POV“Fuck!” I screamed in pent-up frustration, kicking the door continuously. I shrugged before falling to my knees. Tears streamed down my cheeks. My life was a failure. I am a failure.Here I was, seated away from him; I could barely help myself. I couldn't even save my son. I had searched all through the room, every window, every space, yet none other than the door led to an escape route?I should have been smart enough to keep my phone hidden away from him, but I had not, and now here I am, in ruins.The uneasiness had bothered me a whole lot. Even as a mother, I had failed. Before I had any spare time to think, a loud noise rang out. Was it a gunshot?My eyes darted around; perhaps I was mistaken, perhaps it was my imagination getting the best of me. I swallowed hard, clutching my sides.Another shot was fired into the air, and I knew at that point it was no longer my imagination. The shots were continuous, and soon I had thrown myself toward the door.“Let me out of her
Aurora's POV.“What does that mean?” I asked. I felt an unsettling feeling within me on hearing the words that slipped through his lips; he really does seem like he wasn't lying, but why? What exactly would have made my father tell such lies?“Aurora, believe me when I say I would never hurt you or our son at the expense of anything. A scoff seed through my lips yet again, believe him? That was the last thing I intended to do; a lot had happened so far, and I wasn't entirely sure how to keep up with her act. A day ago, he didn't seem to be so invested in my life; a month ago, he barely even knew I was alive, and all of a sudden, he's calling William his son.“See. As far as I'm concerned. And as far as I've known, how vicious and sneaky you can be, but I really have no reason to believe a single lie that eases through your lips. You chased Mr.! You told me you didn't want anything to do with me, called me names, and yet here you stand lying to my face and desperate to. Make a fool of
Aurora's POV. “Aurora I…” “Save it,” I cut into his words. “Whatever excuse it is that you have created in your head, please, I'd like you to save it; I really do not wish to change my mind, so please do not force it; so far, we are at a good place right now; I wouldn't want anything to ruin that for me; I'll get a goodnight sleep and I'll leave tomorrow. '' I retorted, He looked confused, bothered, and hurt. I could tell the way; it was like he was going through the heartbreak I went through years ago, and I could say it fit him well. “Is it something I said? Or maybe something that I did? I'm very sorry, Aurora. I will make it up to you and William, I promise.” He pleaded, whining as a child would, but I wasn't going to change my mind; I was keen on it already. I knew what I wanted, and I knew nothing would change. “It's nothing wrong; I let bygones be just that, but to be honest, you made that choice for me back then; you didn't care if I had an opinion or not; you wer
Aurora’s POV.Frederick Leaning closer to me, he crossed his lips over mine almost immediately.I wrapped my arms around his head almost immediately. I was bothered by a whole lot of things, and I knew I could not keep doing this. I was pissed at him, but I needed him badly.He slid his tongue down my throat, and I moaned into his grasp as his hands spread my tights apart. He drew circles with his fingers against my thigh, and my body shuddered from his grasp. I loved it; I loved every single bit of it.“Was this really all you wanted? My fingers in you? You listen better; you aren't yapping back and forth, cursing me out and saying you don't believe me,” Frederick teased. A loud moan eased through my lips as he pressed down on my thighs. His fingers slid down to my pants, pulling them apart as he stroked my clit area, causing me to arch my body while I shuddered in response to his touch.“Get the fuck away from me, you bastard! All you do is lie around; we both know you've been a suc
Lord Frederick's POV“Any idea where Aurora is? She isn't in her room?” I asked one of the men who stood guard by her entrance.“She is out by the garden, boss; she did make a point that none of us should follow her, but Ted and Ronan had been directed to the spot,” the guard explained, and I nodded before making my way toward the garden.She was indeed stubborn in a way that really caught my fancy. Two weeks had passed since we had sex, and she wasn't joking around when she called it just sex; as a matter of fact, it crushed my ego when she slammed the door in my face the next day.She refused to meet with me; she avoided me at all costs, even though she wasn't building a wall between William and me, but she shut off all communications with me, and I hated it a lot. I did want to speak with her, and at first, I believed just knowing she was under my roof and sleeping a few rooms away from me was enough, but I had to admit that I was becoming greedy; I was beginning to want more than
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.
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
