Lord Frederick's POV“Jennifer?” I asked with raised eyebrows.“Yes sir, she was the one who hired us, and it was easy to kidnap Aurora with her help,” he added while I furrowed my brow, not wanting to believe that Jennifer, who works for me, would do such a thing.“Are you lying to me?” I asked, but he shook his head. “No, sir, I am telling the truth. She was the one who had also been sending you the threatening messages,” the man revealed while I went dumbfounded. This could not be possible; Jennifer wouldn’t dare to betray me.Grunting angrily, I pressed the knife to his neck. “Are you trying to lie to me?” I asked, but he shook his head. “No, Lord Frederick, you can investigate it more. She was the one who sent us,” he said firmly. Looking into his eyes, I didn’t see any glimpse of mischief or lies in them, and no matter how hard I didn’t want to believe it, I knew he might be telling the truth.Taking the knife away from him, I took out my phone from my pocket and dialed Fox's nu
Aurora's POVTwo weeks later.Ever since returning from Lord Frederick's home, my life had been on a loop. I went to school, came back home, and stayed all day in my room. Sophie had told me that with time, I would forget him and move on, but it wasn’t happening. Every moment of the day, I thought of him and even went as far as calling and texting him, but he never responded or texted back. I didn’t want to believe that he never loved me, but his attitude made me feel that way.Getting up on my feet, I noticed I was feeling feverish, and the drugs I took still didn’t work. Sighing tiredly, I decided to go see Sophie; my room was beginning to suffocate me, and I needed some fresh air. After getting dressed in a simple outfit, I left my room and met my father just returning home.“Aurora, are you going out?”“Yes, Father,” I murmured. “I’m going to Sophie’s place,” I said and began walking away so he wouldn’t talk more.Getting into my car, I drove to Sophie’s place. Arriving there, I g
Lord Frederick’s POV For the past few hours, I had been staring at my phone, looking at the message Aurora had sent me. I wished I could call her and talk to her, but I knew that the moment I heard her voice, all the walls I had built would come crumbling down. Taking her back would be a bad idea right now. I knew it was best to stay away until I had sorted out my enemies. Once I was done with that, I would talk to Ian about my feelings for Aurora. I knew he would get furious with me, but I would explain everything and hopefully, he would understand. A knock on the door of my study interrupted my thoughts, and I invited the person in. Fox entered and bowed. “Aurora has a morning class at 8 am,” Fox informed me. I hummed in response and relaxed in my seat. “Get ready; you will drive me there,” I instructed him. Fox bowed and left. After he was gone, I picked up the picture frame of Aurora and glanced at it. I had missed her so much. This was the first time in my life I had been
Lord Frederick’s POVWhile 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. But no amount of water could wash away the reality of my situation.Taking a deep breath, I op
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
Aurora's POVThe loud buzzing of the music coming from the speakers made me go wild, and I screamed while moving my body in sync with the music. Partying was my favorite thing, especially when there were a lot of drinks.“Look over there, Austin has been looking at you,” Sophie called out to get my attention, pointing at Austin, the popular playboy, but I scoffed and shook my head.“He isn't my type, Sophie,” I sighed and continued dancing. In fact, no man was my type apart from a certain someone. His thoughts flooded my mind, but I groaned and wiped them away. What was the need for wishing for someone you can never have, huh?“Everyone freeze!” Suddenly, the music stopped, and I frowned, wondering what was happening.“Everyone stay where you are; no one is allowed to move,” a man dressed in a police uniform commanded, and I rolled my eyes. Over my years of clubbing, I had become used to scenes like this when the police would raid a party tracking down people with drugs.I noticed tw
Aurora’s POVHell no!I murmured to myself. There was no way I was going to live with him. How was I going to do that? Over the years, I haven’t been able to stand his gaze, let alone be in his presence, for more than five minutes. Then how was I going to live with him? That was impossible; there was no way I would stay with him.I noticed Sir Frederick was silent for a moment, probably thinking about what Father had said, which he didn’t have to. He should have just rejected it without giving it a thought.I overheard Sir Frederick sigh. “I would have loved to help, but you know me. I'm always busy and out of the country. I can't even look after myself, so how do I look after a nineteen-year-old?”He knows my age. He remembers my age!I frowned. Why was he addressing me by my age? I didn't like the idea of him addressing me by it.“But you can try, Frederick. It doesn't matter if you are around or not. I just feel she will be tamed under your roof. Please think about it,” Father plea
