Chapter 116: Aurora Meets Her Father

They were talking, and Aurora was pacing the corridors when she stopped in front of the door. She hesitated just inches away from knocking when she heard voices in the room and decided to subtly eavesdrop.

"Two days? It feels endless. We should have taken care of him as soon as those photos and videos were leaked," Taylor protested impatiently, pacing back and forth.

"I've said it before, it would be shooting ourselves in the foot. Besides, these days were necessary to make sure he's okay and living with his family so we can handle everything cleanly."

"And that woman and the two kids?" Taylor asked, a bit uneasy.

"Nothing an accidental poisoning or a car crash after losing control can't solve. It will be just the woman? And the kids, can't we just send them to an orphanage? At least they would have a better life than that woman had before. After all, how can a woman with two small children take care of a debilitated man?" he asked mockingly.

Taylor was just a few meters away when he took a sharp object from his pocket; the distance shortened until he was close enough to hear her voice whispering."Hey!" Gaby shouted, speeding into the parking lot. Taylor ran between the cars, trying to hide. "Took me a while, huh?" she asked while sneakily observing, trying to find the man without Elizabeth noticing."Why did it take so long?""I promise it won't happen again, okay?" she declared, smiling nervously, while Elizabeth got into the car."What's the plan?" Elizabeth asked curiously."At this very moment, they've called a technician to investigate what's wrong with the power. But they won't be able to fix the problem. We're going to the site as specialized electricians. Jayden has the

    Chapter 118: Surprise at the MansionThey looked in every room, searched the entire house, but found no one. No one understood what had really happened, and it was even stranger—why would the men be guarding an empty house?"There's no one in the house," the officer announced to Elizabeth, who was hoping to see Richard rescued."No! This can't be possible!" she asserted, desperate, running through the police officers and entering the house."It's alright, let her see with her own eyes," Jayden suggested when one of the men tried to stop her.She walked through each room, feeling her head spin amid the despair of having returned to square one. She entered one of the rooms, where she stopped in the midst of the nostalgic feeling that the simple room with just a bed and a desk brought to her. She looked around skeptically; she knew he was there, could feel something familiar."How can this be... Is it too late?" she murmured as her head swayed. She got up and absentmindedly opened the dr

Where is Beth and my daughters?" he insisted with questions as Elizabeth carefully got out of bed."How do you not remember me?" she asked weakly."Should I? Who are you to be sleeping next to me?"I'm your wife, Elizabeth." a mocking laughter filled the room."Girl... You must be going crazy, how can you be my wife? You can't have two wives, and besides, I wouldn't marry two women."You don't have two wives, just me, only me!" she asserted desperately."Whoever you are, I've never seen you in my entire life. Where is my wife?" he snapped, glaring at Elizabeth harshly."I'm here." a cheerful voice chimed in as she entered the room, carrying a tray with his breakfast." It's time for you to eat something, so I decided to prepare it myself."Beth... Why did you let another woman stay here? And where are we?" he asked, confused, while Elizabeth observed the two."I told you, it was the only safe place because y

Elizabeth asked, holding onto the arm of the woman following the wheelchair."He's my husband. Why don't you go back where you came from?" she retorted, annoyed, then smiled maliciously at Elizabeth."Beth!" Richard called. "What are you doing? I've told you to ignore this woman. I don't know what she wants, but I hope she understands her place.""You have to remember... This woman is a fraud!" Elizabeth exclaimed."Liz... Let's get out of here, please," Gaby pleaded nervously."It's okay. Let's accompany him to the doctor for now. We'll focus on his recovery, and then we can take care of other things," suggested Taylor, while Ailda waited for them at the foot of the stairs.She avoided looking at Richard. Every time she did, her eyes welled up with tears, and she broke into sobs."Where is he!" th

She pretended to be heading to the children's room and quickly retreated upon seeing Alfred."This woman..." Alfred murmured suspiciously."My right-hand woman," Ailda announced."She just reminded me of someone, but I don't know who it could be. It's like I've seen her before," he commented thoughtfully."How is Elizabeth?" Ailda asked, seeing Gaby coming out of the room."Shaken, devastated, irritated. Many things. These months have been draining," she commented without enthusiasm."Let's go inside; I need to talk to her," Alfred ordered, pulling Gaby back into the room."Grandma..." she sighed, heading towards Alfred and hugging him."Don't get discouraged like this, okay?" he tenderly requested as she nestled in his arms. "I need to talk to you all," he alarmed as the three of them sat side by side. He pulled a chair and sat in front of the three."Is there something el

Nonetheless, I complied."For nothing. You're right. This accident injured your ligaments, but it can be reversed. After all, you have access to the best doctors. You didn't need to stay in this condition for so long," I said."That's good. Now... Can you leave? I want to be alone with my wife," Richard said. Jayden clenched his fists, holding back his anger. He stepped back and left the room.Richard would spend the night in the hospital, and in the morning, he would undergo surgery to correct what had been done. Beth stayed the entire time in Richard's room, while Jayden waited outside. Even though he wanted to talk to Richard, it made no sense since he didn't remember. Jayden remained thoughtful about everything until Beth finally came out of the room."What do you

"Until he is able to move, we will have to immobilize his legs, and then he will have to undergo rehabilitation to be able to walk as before.""Heavens... That's great," Ailda sighed in relief."When can we take him home?" Jayden asked."Tomorrow, as you have all the assistance at home, and the surgery was not risky at all. You can transfer him tomorrow."And so it was done. The next day, an ambulance was used to transfer Richard to his mansion, and he could finally be in his room. But apparently, he was in a bad mood."You have to be patient; the doctors said you will be able to walk in no time," Beth commented apprehensively."I know, but I'm tired of being stuck to this bed. I know they are mistreating you, and that's why I want them to understand that you are my wife, and they must respect you. I won't run away anymore, and I won't give up what I worked for just because they don't accept you. They are

After reading, they exchanged concerned glances, mixed with a glimmer of hope."To bring back his memory, he has to stop taking the medication, and then gradually, the drugs will lose their effect, right? Is that what I understood?" Elizabeth asked eagerly."Yes, it seems that everything will happen naturally; we just need to be patient, and gradually, everything will fall back into place," commented Ailda.Determined, Elizabeth stood up, walking towards the glass wall, gazing at the center of the labyrinth."Maybe this could be useful..." she murmured thoughtfully.After that, they left the room without raising suspicions, but Coralie noticed where they had come from. She waited for them to disperse and entered the room, only to find a simple space. What was once an empty place had now turned into a decorated room. Elizabeth had changed the location to avoid suspicion

Richard and Elizabeth were marrying again, this time officially and grandly, so that everyone could witness this union and celebrate.After so many events, walking down the aisle to meet the man she loved was priceless. As her father led her slowly as if wanting to savor her arrival at the groom."Father?" whispered Elizabeth upon hearing her father's slight sniffle and realizing he was almost crying."

But now I'm seeing my daughter really getting married, to someone she loves, I'm just a grandfather now." declared Zeus, holding back tears.

Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened."You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust."But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished."True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,

Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc

It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would

Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S

The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was

Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from

Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi

Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
