Lord Frederick’s POV

While taking my bath, I kept pondering my dream. I knew that dream was no ordinary dream, and I needed to do something before another man claimed my Aurora. Turning off the shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped out of the bathroom. But getting back into my room, I was confused to see Octavia there with just a towel wrapped around her chest.

“What is the meaning of this?” I asked with a frown, and saw her let the towel fall to her feet, standing naked before me. For a moment, I glared at her nude body—a body that would make any man drool—but definitely not me; she wasn’t Aurora.

“And what is the meaning of this?” I asked again, and Octavia didn’t respond. Instead, she lay on the bed and spread her thighs for me, giving me a clear view of her pussy.

“Do you like what you see, dear husband?” She smirked while I just glared at her. This wasn’t the first time Octavia had tried seducing me into having sex, so it was nothing new.

My frown deepened as I wa

    Aurora's POVIt's been three days since I discovered I was pregnant, and I still don’t know what to do about it. Just as Sophie had said, I needed to act quickly, but I have no idea what steps to take. It's been three days since I texted Lord Frederick that we needed to talk, but as usual, he hasn’t responded to me or returned my calls. I was tempted to go to his home, but I feared meeting his wife. What would I tell her? What if he sends me away?Confused about what to do, I looked at the test tube in my hand. I had taken a test at Sophie's home, but I wanted to confirm it again. Maybe the result was wrong; perhaps it was just an illness and not much else.Getting up from my bed, I went into the bathroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were puffy from lack of sleep, and my hair was a mess. I splashed some cold water on my face, hoping it would wake me from this nightmare.

    Lord Frederick’s POVI heard the ringing of my phone and when I went for it, I realized it was Ian calling. Instantly, I picked up the call and placed the phone to my ear. “Ian…”“Damn you, Frederick!” Ian yelled angrily, and I furrowed my brow. “I thought you could do better in looking after Aurora, but you did worse than I did!” he yelled, and my frown deepened as my confusion peaked. “What happened, Ian?”“Aurora is pregnant! My daughter is pregnant, and she doesn’t even know the bastard responsible, and it’s all your fault. You failed in watching over her!” he yelled over the phone, and my eyes widened.“Aurora is pregnant?” I asked, shocked.“Yes, and she can’t even tell who got her pregnant!” Ian yelled while a sudden rush of emotion enveloped me. This was why Aurora was calling, this was why she was texting me that we had to see each other, but I was ignoring her.“I’m pissed at you, Frederick. I thought you were watching after her!” Ian yelled while I sighed, running a hand th

The moment she saw me, she looked my way, but I ignored her and went straight to my room.Pacing around my room, I began pondering, thinking of what to do and how to solve the mess I had put myself into. Aurora was pregnant, and there was no way I would let her go through any abortion. That pregnancy was a symbol of our love, and I wouldn’t let anything happen to it.The door of my room creaked open, and Octavia walked in. “Is everything okay?” she asked curiously, but I didn’t respond. Instead, I walked over to the mini bar, took out a bottle of whiskey, and filled up my glass.“Is there a problem?” she asked again, but I ignored her and took a long sip of my drink.Moving closer, she wrapped her arms around me, and I instantly pulled away. “Stop it!” I grunted before emptying my glass.“Is something bothering you?”“Yes!” I blurted out and took a deep breath to control my

    Aurora's POVFor hours, I waited for anyone to walk into the room, but no one came in—not even the doctor that Father had threatened. I wished my phone were with me; I could have called someone, maybe texted Lord Frederick and told him the truth, but I doubted if he would believe me.Leaving my bed, I walked to my window and thought of jumping down, but that would be suicide, seeing the room was on the fourth floor. Also, there was no way I could escape because I knew Father’s men were all over the place.Pained and heartbroken, I went back to my room and sat down on the bed while placing my hand on my stomach. I couldn’t believe a tiny being was growing inside me. I couldn’t believe I was pregnant with Lord Frederick's baby, his seed growing inside me. My thoughts went to Lord Frederick, and I wondered how he would take the news. Will he accept this pregnancy? I wonder if Father has told him about my pregnancy, but I doubt it. If Father has told him, then he should have come for me,

    Aurora’s POVThe next morning, I bathed and anxiously stayed in my room. Every noise outside my door made me jump, hoping it was someone coming to help me. But no one came. Time passed quickly, and with it, the realization that I had to face whatever lay ahead.At 7:00 AM, the door opened, and two of Father’s men entered the room. “It’s time,” one of them said gruffly, gesturing for me to follow.“I’m not going,” I said stubbornly, and the men stood before me. “Your father has ordered us to carry you out if you refuse to follow us, so for your own good, we advise you to come with us willingly, or we will have to drag you along,” they said threateningly, and I knew too well that they would do just as they had threatened.Standing to my feet, I followed them out of the room. As we walked down the corridor, my mind raced with thoughts of escape. I had to find a way out, a chance to reach Frederick and speak to him.As we passed the staircase, I saw my opportunity.

    Lord Frederick POV“Boss, there is a problem,” Fox said as he stumbled into my room. Unease gripped me as I stood up and looked at him.“What is wrong? Where is Aurora? You were supposed to bring her. Did you lose her? Has she boarded the jet? You were supposed to meet with their vehicle.” My anger was rising; it was obvious that Fox had lost them. Perhaps Ian's men had outsmarted him.“Sir… there is a problem,” Fox stammered in fear and panic, something I hardly ever saw in him.“Fox? What happened?” I asked, starting to panic because it was clear that whatever had happened was worse than I thought.“Sir… the car Aurora was in got involved in an accident and fell off a cliff…”“No!” I yelled, shaking my head. “You are lying.”Just then, my phone began ringing, and when I saw it was Ian calling, I quickly picked up the call. “Ian… what am I hearing? Tell me it's not true,” I spoke, panic in my voice. Ian sobbed from the other end of the phone.“Frederick, I need your help. I can’t fin

    Lord Frederick's POV An awkward silence hung in the air as the men before me all had worried and tired looks on their faces. I swallowed in fear as I wondered what they had to say to me. It had been three days since the accident, and Aurora still hadn’t been found. The men who were in the car with her survived and explained that the car's brakes had been tampered with, a clear indication that someone wanted to get rid of Aurora; they wanted her dead. We checked all the CCTV footage from Ian's home, but we couldn’t see anyone tampering with the car's brakes. However, I knew something fishy was going on, and I would not rest until I got to the root of it. “Speak,” I told the men who were in charge of discovering Aurora's body from the water. They all hesitated before one of them stepped forward. “Sir, we are 100 percent sure that Aurora's body is not in that water. Even if she had drowned, her body should have surfaced by now,” he explained, and I swallowed my pain. “So what are you

    Lord Frederick's POV One month has gone by, and yet there is no news about Aurora. It feels as though she has disappeared off the face of the earth. All efforts to find her have been useless, as there is no clue about her whereabouts. Every part of me is breaking down at the thought of actually losing her, but I brace myself; as long as her body isn't found, I am certain my Aurora is out there somewhere. It's just a matter of time before she comes back to me. My phone beeps, and it is a message from Ian asking me to come to his place. Sighing heavily, I get up and take the stairs to the living room where I meet Fox. “We are going over to Ian’s,” I announce, and he nods before coming with me. Getting into the car, Fox starts up the engine while I sit in the back seat as he drives to Ian's place, with my men following behind. “Fox, I need you to get in touch with our contacts in the city,” I say. “I want to know if anyone has seen or heard anything about Aurora.” Fox nods, his eye

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.

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.

    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

  • My Godfather’s Irresistible Pet   Tracking Bracelet

    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.
