"Where do you want to go first, Aurora?" Timothy asked me as we left the hotel.

"Let's go to the Palais Garnier!" Amelie said.

I nodded my head and looked at Timothy. "Let's go to Palais Garnier."

"Alright. Let's go."

We took the subway going to Palais Garnier since I myself suggested that we should not use Timothy's car while traveling since it would be more fun to just commute.

Before going inside the opera house, we took a moment to admire the exterior of it first. It was heavily decorated all along the many-columned facade. Besides the sculptures embedded into the front of the palace, we also noticed gold winges statues on either side of the roof and a central sculptural group at the very top.

"Would you believe me if I say that there is actually an undeground lake at this opera house?" Timothy said as we entered the Palais Garnier.

"Really? Can we see it?"

"No." Amelie was the one who spoke this time. "No one has the access to it, even the employees or other guests. They say

    "Aurora? Are you fine?" Timothy asked me when he noticed that I was just sitting on a bench outside the museum. I asked them just to go by themselves since I don't really feel alright since last night.I shook my head and gave him a smile. "I'm alright. Don't worry about me. M-Maybe it's just because of the weather." "Are you sure? Do you want us to go home already?" "N-No, I'm alright. Don't think about me. It's our last day now here in Paris, so we should take our time and enjoy it.""We can extend our stay here, anyway. Come on, let's go home now.""No, I'm fine. I'm really fine. Where are we going next?" I don't even know why, but I felt disappointed when Timothy told me we're just friends. I know our marriage is just fake, but I was expecting...I was expecting more than that...We went to different tourist spots includding the Palace of Versailles and MontMartre and I tried my best to look as if I was feeling fine. I didn't want to make them feel like I don't care or I don't a

    "Can we just share a room together? I don't want to sleep in a big room alone." Amelie said to me when I showed her my room. We just got home from our flight and Timothy immediately went to work, living only me and Amelie in the house. Good thing Amelie's parents trusts Timothy so much and they let her go with us. I nodded my head and smiled. "Sure we can. I think that's a good idea. Maybe we can watch a film at night and I can also share you my make ups." "Really?! Thank you so much, Aurora! And also, we can share each other things about our crushes or the people we don't like!" "You're right." I laughed. After unpacking our things, Amelie took a shower while I prepare our lunch. It's actually nice to know that starting from now on, I will have someone to be with me here when Timothy is away. It feels like I had an instant sister. "Would you like to go shopping later? Timothy asked me to buy you some clothes." "Sure!" "Okay. By the way, why do you talk so good in English? I m

    Timothy's POV "I'm really sorry, Timothy. I only see you as a friend." It was as if time stopped when Dennise said that to me. How many times did she say that to me, anyway? In grade school, middle school, and the last time I saw her. I used to think she would eventually like me if I make myself better. I have never been interested in anyone. Except her. Except Dennise. I tried my best to make myself better so she would finally notice me, But then she left and went to New Zealand to study. I never got to see her again after that. Everyday I wait for her to come back so I could show how much I have improved myself for her, but she never showed up. "Mr. Lockwood, your wife is waiting for you at the lobby." I came back to my senses when my secretary suddenly said that to me. I squinted at my watch before looking at him again. "Okay. Tell her to wait for me there. You can also go home now." "Noted, Sir." Last night, Elisse told me she and Aurora saw Dennise at the mall. So

    Aurora's POV I could see the surprised look on Timothy's face the moment he saw Dennise. His eyes glimmered, as if he just saw the one that he always wanted to see. They hugged and smiled to each other. Dennise just wore a simple fitted maroon dress and tied her hair up, but she was still able to stand out. All of us were looking at her. She really is beautiful. "You're jealous, aren't you?" I almost choked from the champagne I was drinking when Amelie suddenly whispered in my ear. "H-Huh?" She laughed. "It's so obvious. You've been looking at them since Dennise arrived." "I-I'm not jealous." "It's understandable, though. It's normal to feel jealous when you see your husband talking to another woman." I took a sip of my champagne again before looking at her. "He's not my husband. And also, they never saw each other for so many years. It's natural for them to miss each other." "But that doesn't mean brother has to forget about you. Do you want me to get their attention?" "No

    "Oh my God. Thank you so much for showing up! Especially to you, Aurora. I know you have a lot of things to do." I shook my head and smiled at her. "It's fine. Besides, I already finished all the tasks that I need to do with my team today.""Really? By the way, can I ask about your job? I mean, if you don't mind?" "U-Uh... I'm a PR leader."She nodded her head as she sipped some of the white wine that their restaurant serves. "Really? That's good then. You must be good at your work since Timothy is so hardworking.""Y-You're right."As soon as we arrived here a while ago, I couldn't help but feel nervous and awkward. Amelie didn't come with us since one of her friends invited her for a birthday party. I also wanted to refuse to go with Timothy, but I had no choice and I don't want him to think that I don't like Dennise."You know, you don't have to be nervous and feel awkward around me. I hope we can be friends, Aurora." Dennise suddenly said while looking directly into my eyes as i

    Liam brought me to the Central Park. Good thing it wasn't that crowded and the people were busy minding their businesses. "Why did you bring me here?" I asked him as we walked through the park. " Because it's peaceful here. Well, there are days when this park if filled with people. It's weekday, so I know it wouldn't be crowded." The park was tranquil and filled with trees. It seems like it's so far from the bustling city of New York. "So, are you jealous of that woman?" Liam suddenly asked. I didn't look at him. I kept my head down while walking. "Why am I even asking? Of course, you are jealous. He's your husband and you are supposed to be the one who gets his attention." "That woman is his first love. He loved her more than anyone else." "More than you?" I didn't speak. I don't even know what to say. Timothy is not my real husband, so I don't even know if I have the right to demand an attention from him. After all, he just married me for convenience. And I married hi

    Timothy's POV "S-See you later," Aurora said to me before she stepped out of my car. As soon as she got inside their company building, I started the engine of my car again and drove away. She told us she was just going to the restroom yesterday, but she didn't come back. Then she came home later with that man again. They even looked so happy when I saw them outside my house. Now I can't even look at her. "How's Aurora?" Dennise asked me. "She told me they had an emergency at work yesterday, that is why she didn't get to say goodbye to us." Dennisse nodded her head while unpacking the lunchboxes that she brought to my office for me. "Really? Oh, maybe that was really important." "Uhm." "Wait, don't tell me you got mad at her?" I averted my gaze from her. "It's impossibe for me not to get mad when she didn't even bother calling me." "But she already said it was urgent, right? That is an acceptable excuse." "Still, she had the chance to call me so she won't need to have some o

    Aurora's POV"You know what? I'm really glad we can hang out together today." Dennise said to me with a smile on her face that made her look even more beautiful.She was wearing a pink dress and her hair was in half up half down. She looked so beautiful like a celebrity. I nodded my head as I smiled at her, too. "Me too."Timothy who was the one who planned this. He told me that we will be having a coffee together, but it turns out it's Dennise I will be having a coffee with. "So, where do you want to go first?" she asked me again."I-I don't really go out, so I am not that knowledgeable about the beautiful places we can go to...""Oh, I see. That's not a problem. I know where to go!" she said cheerfully as she clung her hand around my left arm. "Let's go?"I nodded my head with a smile. "Okay."We first went to the mall since Dennise told me she wanted to buy some new clothes first. She really is so careful whenever she chooses dresses that she will buy. "How about you, Aurora? Ar

    "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.

    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

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

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

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
