My heart beat becomes even faster as their voices gets louder. When I couldn't take it anymore, that's when I finally stood up and decided to go upstairs. There was one room with an opened door, so I decided to step inside and there I saw Liam already sitting on the floor while his dad was standing in front of him with his right hand balled into a fist. He probably just punched Liam. "Why are you acting like this, huh? Do you really think we owe you everything? Do you even know how much we've spent on you?! How hard we've tried just for you to be where you are now?!" Mr. Hamilton growled. Liam wiped the corner of his mouth using his hand and stood up. "Then should I be thankful? Should I thank you for making my youth miserable? For forcing me to do things I don't even want to do? For having me work and work even though I'm already sick? Then, thank you dad! Thank you!" "You-- His dad was about to hit him again, but then I ran towards them and stood between them. "S-Stop this, pl
Aurora's POV "Where are you going?"Timothy asked when he saw me all dressed up. He was sitting on the couch while reading a book. "I need to go to the company to do something." He stood up. "I'll go with you." "No need. I'll be quick." "But--- "Just stay here with Amelie, okay? I promise I will come back before lunch." In the end, he had no choice but to nod his head. I kissed his cheek before finally leaving. It was only 9 in the morning when I finished everything I had to do in the company. I decided to go to the grocery store since it's still early. Maybe I can cook for dinner for them. It's been a while since I last cooked for Timothy and Amelie. "Aurora?" I immediately turned my head when I heard a familiar voice. My eyes widened when I saw Dennise also pushing a cart as she walked towards me. "D-Dennise." "Hello there. Long time no see, Aurora." she said while smiling at me. After buying some stuff, Dennise asked me to have some coffee with her first. "How have yo
Aurora's POV"Where have you been? I thought you'd have lunch with us? It's near dinnertime already." Timothy said to me as soon as I arrived home. "You didn't even answer any of my calls."I put my bag on the couch as I walked over to him who was busy preparing dinner for us. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to go hom immediately. I just had dinner with Dennise and Klein for a while."He immediately looked at me with furrowed brows. "Klein?""Y-Yes. I just happened to see him while I was on my way home.""So, that's why you're late." he said without even looking at me.I lowered my head as I bit my lower lip. "I'm sorry, okay? I wasn't able to answer any of your calls.""Maybe you were too happy spending time with Klein, that's why." he murmured."Of course, not. I just didn't notice it. I'm sorry now, okay? I swear I'm going to prepare our breakfast tomorrow."He didn't respond, so I decided to hug him from the back which immediately made him startle. "Babe...I'm sorry. Please, forgive me
"Break up with my son. Stay away from him." that was the very first thing that Timothy's mom said to me as soon as I arrived at the coffee shop where she told me to go this morning. It was a week after that night they went to Timothy's house and asked us about the fake marriage. We already explained everything to them and I thought they already understood, but then she called me again this morning and I don't even know the reason why."I-I don't understand... I-I already told you everything. I used Timothy to avenge Philip, but that was before. I'm not using him anymore. I love Timothy..." She laughed sarcastically. "You love Timothy? Really? How can we even know that when you came from a poor family? What if your first plan was actually to marry Philip, so you could have all of his inheritance instead? And since you failed to do so, your next target became Timothy." I shook my head. "T-That's not true... I never wanted anything from your family. Please, tell me who told you all of
Timothy got surprised when I said those words out of the blue. He looked at me with furrowed brows as he spoke. "What are you saying? You're breaking up with me? Are you even serious?" Tears continued streaming down my face as I looked at him. "Your mom doesn't like me anymore. They don't like me anymore..." "But I love you, Aurora. That's what's important, right?" "What if they tell you break up with me instead? What if they go against our relationship?" "Then we'll prove to them that our love is stronger than anything. We'll prove that we really love each other." "But Timothy--- "Don't call me by my name. Call me babe." He put his arms around me and hugged me tightly. How can I even live without this man when he's the only one who makes me feel so safe and loved? Timothy still has to work, so I immediately left his office.I was about to go home already, but then I received a call from mom telling me to meet her. "Mom, what is it?" I asked as soon as I sat down. She roamed
"What should we do now, Aurora? Why don't you just break up with Timothy? In that way, we won't have to pay her anymore." Mom said as soon as we left the house of Timothy's parents.I looked at her. "Mom!""Why? We don't have any choice! I already spent half of the money she gave me!""Why did you actually spend it? You should have told me about it before you decided to spend the money!" "H-Hey! Why are you yelling at me?! I spent it because you're not giving me enough money! Just break up with Timothy, do you understand me?! Fix that by yourself!" she said then started walking away. I sighed in frustration as I called a cab. What should I do now? Should I tell Timothy about it? While thinking about what I should do next, I suddenly received a call from Timothy. "B-Babe.""Babe, where are you?" he asked over the phone. "I'm on my way home already. How about you?""I am about to leave work now. Do you want me to fetch you?""N-No. I'm already in a taxi. Let's just see each other
"Aurora, are you done packing up?" Amelie asked me as soon as we were done preparing the things that we will bring for our two-day vacation.I nodded my head while smiling at her. "Yes, I'm done. How about you?""Yes, I am! So, let's go? Let's have brother carry all of it." she giggled."Let's go."As we stepped out of our room bringing our luggage with us, Timothy then appeared. "Are you guys done already?""Uh-huh.""Alright. Then you should go and get inside the car. I'll follow you guys.""Okay!"Timothy really planned this short vacation since Amelie is about to go home back to Paris again. At least, we would still be able to have a bonding together before she leaves again."Alright, are you guys ready now?" Timothy asked us as soon as he got inside the car. We would also be riding Timothy's private plane going to the private island, so it wouldn't be a hassle for us since after two days, we would be flying straight to Paris to send Amelie back home. "Wow! It is so beautiful he
"Thank you so much for taking care of Amelie there." Amelie's mom said to me and Timothy.After having our vacation on the private island, we flew straight to Paris. "It's nothing. It's been a lot of fun to be with such a hard-headed and talkative kid." Timothy said then she looked at Amelie who was standing beside her mom. "I will miss bickering with you. Let's do that again when we go back here."Amelie pouted before hugging her cousin. "I will miss you so much, Brother... Make sure to take care of Aurora, okay? I will get mad at you if you make her cry.""Of course, I won't make her cry." Timothy said as he patted Amelie's head. "Amelie, take care of yourself, okay? Well, I know you will since you are my little brave and beautiful sister. I will miss you so much and always remember that I love you so much..." I said while holding back my tears. Amelie smiled with tears filling her eyes too as she hugged me. "I will miss you so much, Aurora. And I love you so much too, the best s
"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
