Aurora’s POV“Congratulations on your promotion, Miss Aurora! You are now the new PR leader!”Everyone started clapping after hearing the announcement. I stood up and bowed my head with a huge smile on my face. “Thank you so much! This is such big deal to me! Thank you so much for trusting and seeing a potential in me. I promise to do my best as the new PR leader.”After work, I immediately called my boyfriend Philip.He has been my boyfriend for two years now. He works as a marketing officer in a well-known company in the country. For sure he would be so happy after hearing about my promotion.He didn’t answer my call, so I had to call him again.In the end, I just decided to go to his apartment.I made sure to put on some lipstick before ringing the doorbell of his apartment. He didn’t open the door, so I thought he was just probably taking a bath or doing something important. Since I have a spare key, I opened the door and stepped in.“Babe? Where are you?”As soon as I stepped ins
Aurora’s POVPhilip’s brother?I squinted at him.I don’t remember meeting him before. I don’t even know Philip has a brother.Anyways, he is nice and…. Smoking hot.While staring at him, an idea came into my mind.His brother cheated on me. If Philip can have an accident, then why can’t I?A quirky smile flashed on my face as I looked at him. “Can you take me home?”“That’s what I am going to do. Let’s go now.” He said.He drove me to my apartment and helped me into my room.“I have to go now.” He said.“Wait.” I said as I held his hand.“What is it?”Without any permission, I grabbed him by his nape and kissed him. He gently pushed me away and looked at me with wrinkled brows. “W…What are you doing?”I didn’t say anything. Instead, I kissed him again.At first, he didn’t respond, but then later on he was already the one leading the kiss. He carried me up in his arms and gently put me on the bed without leaving my lips.We were both panting when he moved away from me.“I don’t know w
Aurora’s POVI woke up with my head hurting so bad. I opened my eyes and immediately turned my head to the side to see if Timothy was still there, but I was wrong. He probably went home after having sex with me. I also looked around my room to see if he left a note or any message, but he didn’t. Just when I pass by my mirror, I saw my nape full of hickeys. I could also feel my womanhood numb because of how wild Timothy was last night. He didn’t stop until he got satisfied.My cheeks felt hot as I remembered what happened last night.My first sex was with a stranger.Well anyways, that’s just a one-night stand. It’s not as if I’d see him again. “From now on, I will just focus on my job. Men are just a waste of time.” I said to myself before I stepped inside the bathroom to take a shower because I still have to go to work.It’s my first day of being PR leader and I’m late.“And here comes our new PR leader! Congratulations, Aurora! Looks like you’re late today, huh? Did you have a hot
Aurora’s POVI couldn’t help but glance at Timothy who doesn't even give me a look. The gentle look on his face now became the look of a very strict boss. “So, I guess I have to leave the two of you here. Please excuse me, Sir.”Timothy just nodded at Hannah.I badly wanted to go with Hannah already, but I still have things to discuss with Timothy regarding the company project. God, this is so embarrassing!He cleared his throat. “So, I didn’t know that you’re actually a PR leader.”And how would you know? We just had a one night stand. I even thought I wouldn’t see you anymore.“Y-Yeah. I just got promoted yesterday.”He nodded his head. Seeing him this close again makes me remember every single detail that happened between me and him last night. I could even still feel my private part sore. Although it also feels like he's not that gentle man who offered to take home last night. He seem a bit cold and aloof now. “A-About what happened that night--"It only happened because we wer
Timothy’s POV “Timothy. Where were you last night? I heard you went to a bar and left there with a woman. Is she your girlfriend, huh?” mom started interrogating me during our family dinner. “You’re asking someone to spy me again, huh?” She laughed. “Well, I just heard it from your best friend, Loki. Come on, why don’t you introduce her to us?” “Mom, she’s just a friend.” “A friend, huh?” my younger brother, Philip said. “Did you sleep with her?” That made me silent and even made my whole family laugh at me. I went to a bar last night and happened to see my brother's ex-girlfriend there. I was also drunk when I offered to drive her home. “Oh, my oldest son is finally getting married!” I rolled my eyes. “Mom! Stop it No one is getting married!” “Are you sure, my dear?” “What do you mean are you sure?” “Well, actually,” Philip paused for a second and continued. “I’m getting married.” “What?” I looked at the smirk on Philip’s face. “You’re getting married with who?” Philip l
Aurora’s POV"Philip and her girlfriend will be having their engagement party next week. If you agree to have a deal with me, then meet me at the Beatrice Grand Hotel." I still can’t get over about the sudden proposal of my boss who happened to be the older brother of my asshole ex-boyfriend. We just had a one night stand and we don’t really know each other, and now he is asking me to have a fake marriage with him?On the other hand, I feel so enraged about the fact that Philip and Wendy are getting married after what they did to me.Oh, right. Just like what Philip said, he didn’t even love me in the first place. He just used me just so he could be close to Wendy. That means, he had been making me a fool for two fucking years.I will make them pay for what they did.***I wore a pink dress going to the engagement party venue. I immediately saw Mr. Timothy Lockwood at the entrance. He didn’t look surprise upon seeing me though. It looks like he already knew I was going here.“You cam
Aurora’s POVI still can’t get over about what happened during the engagement party. I can’t forget about how Timothy kissed me.How can he be such a good kisser? And how can he kiss me like he didn’t ask me to forget about what happened between the two of us?“The first thing you have to remember when we get married is not to tell anyone about it. No one should know about it except my family.” Timothy started enumerating all the things that he wants to happen after our fake marriage while I just kept on listening attentively, taking notes of every word he says.“Next, you’ll have to live with me. My parents would find it weird if we get married and you don’t live in my house. Lastly, I don’t want you to do things that would ruin my name.”I actually felt a little offended to the last rule he just stated.Do I look like I’ll do something that would ruin his reputation?“W-Wait. W-We are not going to share the same bed, right? I mean, just to be sure.” I said while trying to hide my r
Aurora’s POVDad has been forcing me to get married, too. He said he wants to see my children grow up. He also said he would love to walk me down the aisle. It’s sad that he won’t be here with me.I looked at my reflection in the mirror.I’m really getting married.As soon as the door went open, I saw the smiles of the people in the venue while looking at me. I don’t know a single person in the room except Philip and Wendy who were glaring at me.I was wearing an off-shoulder wedding gown and holding a bouquet of white roses. My heart started beating so fast as I started walking down the aisle with Timothy standing and looking directly at me.“Timothy Lockwood, do you take Aurora Winters as your lawful wife and promise to be with her for the rest of your life?”“I do.” Timothy answered without any emotion on his face.“Aurora Winters, do you take Timothy Lockwood as your lawful husband and promise to be with him for the rest of your life?”Do I really want this?Do I really want to ge
"Mommy, you look so beautiful!" Thera said to me as I was standing in front of her, wearing my wedding dress."Really? Mommy looks beautiful? Am I as beautiful as you?"She nodded her head and smiled. "Yes, mommy. I think you're more beautiful than me.""Of course, not. You are the most beautiful. You're even way beautiful than mommy," I said as I pinched both of her cheeks."Well, you're both beautiful. Stop acting like you don't look exactly like each other. Also Aurora, you need to prepare yourself now because we're heading to the church and you'll finally meet your soon-to-be husband," my mom said to me which made all of us laugh.Today is the day I will be marrying the love of my life. Who would have thought that I will actually end up marrying the brother of my ex-boyfriend? The huge door of the church went open and I stepped inside. As I raised my head, I saw so many people standing on each side while looking at me with huge smile on their faces. I saw Dennise standing there
It's been a week now since I introduced Timothy as Thera's father. They've been so happy together and Timothy keeps on going to our house to see Thera. His parents also knew about it and they were so happy when they saw Thera, too. All of my fears suddenly vanished when I hugged Timothy's parents. I have realized that maybe I was just overthinking when I thought they would take my daughter away from me if I told them about her. "Mommy! Daddy is here!" Thera told me while I was washing the dishes one morning. "Really? Okay, you can play together then."Suddenly, Timothy showed up. He was wearing a black turtle neck and pants and he looked handsome as ever. "Aurora, can we go to the amusement park together? I mean, the three of us?""H-Huh? B-But I still haven't taken a bath.""It's alright. We can wait for you. Right, Thera?""Yes! We can play outside while waiting for you, mommy!"I smiled. "Really? Then alright. I'll just finish washing the dishes then I'll take a bath." ***"Mom
Aurora's POV"T-Timothy?" both mom and dad were surprised upon seeing Timothy with me. Timothy looked at each other then I nodded my head at him. "It's been a long time, Auntie and Uncle.""What is happening here, Aurora?" Dad asked me. "Dad, I already told Timothy about the truth. He already knows it," I said. "Y-You already know?" Mom asked Timothy.Timothy nodded his head with a smile on his face. "I already knew it since the first time I saw Thera. I was just waiting for Aurora to admit it."I thought mom and dad would be mad at me, but then huge smile appeared on their faces the moment they heard what Timothy just said. "That's good to hear then. You don't know how long Thera had been waiting for this day to come. Wait, does that also mean the two of you are back together again?" mom suddenly asked. Timothy looked at me, so I immediately spoke. "N-No.""Oh, I see. Wait, should I call Thera now? Are we going to tell her now?" "Can I go there and introduce myself to her?" Tim
Timothy's POVI am definitely sure that child is my child. I know Aurora and I know she was lying when she told me she had a relationship with somebody else. I kept waiting outside the school of Aurora's daughter until I finally saw her. I was about to go near her, but then Aurora suddenly appeared and held the child's hand. She really made sure I wouldn't be able to get close to our daughter. "Good afternoon!" I said to both of them with a huge smile on my face. Aurora's eyes widened upon seeing me. I smirked at her then I knelt down in front of the child. "Hello there, Thera, right? My name is Timothy, but you can call me Uncle Timothy if you want to.""Hello, Uncle Timothy! It's nice to meet you! What are you doing here?" she asked me.God, she looks exactly like Aurora. She is so beautiful, just like her mom. "Well, I'm here to--"Let's go now, Thera," Aurora suddenly said as she started walking away together with Thera but then I followed them again. "W-Wait, I'm just wonde
I was about to drive away together with Thera, but then Timothy suddenly blocked our way. I tried to escape, but he was too stubborn and didn't really leave. I rolled down the window of the car and yelled. "Can you just please leave?! Get out of my way!""I won't leave unless you talk to me, Aurora!""There is nothing we need to talk about!""There is! Especially about that kid!"I tried making him leave again, but still, he didn't listen to me."Mommy, why don't you talk to him? Are you mad at him?" Thera asked me confusingly. "Honey, I can't talk to him. I-I don't even know him," I lied."But he won't leave, mommy. I think you need to talk to him."In the end, I had no choice but to give up. I looked at Thera who was sitting beside me. "Honey, just wait for mommy here. I'm just going to talk to that man for a while, okay?" "Okay, mommy. I will wait for you here.""Thank you, sweetheart."I took a deep breathe before finally getting off the car. "Now, what do you want to talk abo
'Aurora's POV I let out a deep sigh as soon as I stopped the car in front of our house. I still haven't gotten inside and was just staring into a blank space inside my car. I just saw Timothy a while ago. He looked a bit different, but more handsome than ever. When I met his eyes, my heart started beating so fast. I didn't even know how I would react, that is why I just decided to leave him there alone. How can he still have the same impact to me after all this time? The way he looked at me and the way he made me feel nervous is still the same. I thought he already found someone new, but based on how he acted a while ago, I don't think he already did. Does that mean he really waited for me to come back? "Mommy!" Thera welcomed we with a warm hug as soon as I stepped inside our house. "Hello there, sweetheart... Why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked while patting her head."I was waiting for you, mommy..." I touched her on the cheek then lifted her up in my arms. "Oh, my sweet b
Timothy's POVI can't be mistaken. That was really Aurora. I really saw Aurora at that mall!Too bad I wasn't able to follow her because of the crowd. I just saw her step inside a car and drove off together with the kid. B-But who is that kid? I-Is she her child? But with whom? Is she married already? Who did she end up? So, she has forgotten about me already?Ugh! I can't stop thinking about her! I have to find her as soon as possible! I was massaging my temples when my phone started ringing. It was a call from Dennise."You're thinking about Aurora again?" Dennise said as soon as I answered her call. "I just can't help it. I need to confirm if that was really her.""Then why don't you confirm it yourself? I invited her for dinner tonight. Why don't you come, too?"My eyes widened in surprise. "Y-You invited her?""Uh-huh. But I just did that to confirm if she's really back. If she answers me, then that means she's back. Oh, she just texted me. She said she would come.""A-Are y
Aurora's POV"Thera, where have you been, huh? I have been looking for you,' I said to my daughter when we were finally inside the car off somewhere"I'm sorry, mommy. I just wanted to see the huge teddy bear..." she said while playing with her fingers.I patted her head. "It's alright. Just promise me that you won't do that again.""Yes, mommy. I promise."I pinched both of her cheeks and kissed her on the forehead. "That's my girl. I also want to applogize for letting you be alone by yourself. Will you forgive mommy?""Of course, mommy. I will always forgive you.""Thank you, my sweetheart...""Mommy.""Huh?""I bumped into a handsome man a while ago before you found me," she started narrating. "A handsome man? Really?"She nodded her head as if she actually found the man she was saying handsome. "Really, mommy! He is so handsome like a prince!""Oh, he must be so handsome then. Did he help you?""Yes, he helped me stand and asked me if I am okay."I nodded my head. "Then he's a go
Timothy's POV"Congratulations, Timothy! Our company is now the highest earning in the country! That is all thanks to you and your dedication!" dad said to me while we were having dinner in their mansion. "You are right, honey. Timothy really did a great job during the past five years!" mom added.I shook my head while smiling. "You know that wouldn't happen if not also because of our employees and investors. I'm not the only one who is to be thrown those compliments of yours.""Well, you are at the top. I never really regret assigning you as the CEO of our company.""Thanks, dad.""I wonder when you will be getting married, though. You know, you are not getting any younger. You have to have someone who will take care of you. Also, we already want grandchildren from you," said mommy. I laughed. "That would be most unlikely to happen. I am not planning to have any relationship with anyone. I just want to focus with the company.""What do you still want to focus in the company when yo
