Lucas’ pov

Why can't I take my mind off the new lady? Is it because she resembles my ex-wife, or because she brought a sense of tranquility to my office? Our eye contact was emotionally tormenting. Since Aurora left me, I haven't felt this way before. It's a stark contrast to when Dan introduced the other young model. I didn't even realize I had left my office and ended up at hers during the break, only to have her decline my invitation for a meal. Was it too soon?

As soon as she turned down my request, I didn't know what to do except act selfishly. I thought it might be a way to get closer to her. Without hesitation, I immediately summoned the head of HR to my office, despite it being lunchtime.

"Mr. Kingsley, I want you to send a confidential email to everyone not to visit the external auditor's office. I want her to remain focused on her work. Inform them that this message is for their eyes only and must not be shared."

"Okay, Sir," he replied while still standing.

    Benedict’s pov I was in the middle of doing laundry when I heard my wife's voice, Chloe, calling out to get my attention. "Darling! Darling!"She was in the kitchen, probably unaware that I was busy with the laundry and assuming I was in our room. "My hands are busy in the kitchen. Please, someone is knocking on the door." "Okay, but my hands are wet," I replied, not realizing she hadn't heard my response. If I had known, I would have quickly gone to see who was at the door without any delay. As I refocused my attention on the washing machine, her voice lingered in my mind, bringing a smile to my face. We had a wonderful marriage and two lovely children. My intention was to finish loading the remaining dirty clothes into the washing machine and then go and meet her, as well as find out who was at the door. Stepping out of the laundry room, the bustling sounds from the kitchen had ceased. Has she finished cooking already? I wondered, but it seemed too soon. When did she ev

    Author’s pov It had been nearly a week since Aurora had been working closely with Lucas, auditing his company. During this time, she had been staying in her hotel room. On Thursday, Lucas entered her office and said as he looked at her with lustful eyes. "Miss Daisy, I hope it won't inconvenience you. A beautiful three-bedroom bungalow has been assigned to you. Paul will assist you in packing your belongings and moving to your new home," he informed her. "As long as the neighborhood is peaceful, I have no problem with it," Aurora replied. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to come and see me," Lucas added. "I will Sir, but I'm busy at the moment," Aurora said, turning her attention back to her computer, typing away. "This must be the reason why her firm sent her to me," Lucas thought to himself. "She's always busy with her work, and her demeanor clearly shows that she prefers conversations related to her work." As Lucas was about to leave, he added, "I'm impressed by

    Author's pov Sebastian's phone nearly slipped from his grasp as he unconsciously failed to respond to Aurora, until the call eventually ended. His demeanor had soured the conversation's conclusion. He was in his sitting room when the call came through. His dry palm became sweaty, and his heartbeat raced beyond normal. Was it too soon to hear something like this, or perhaps he hadn't expected it at all? "Who could have been secretly providing for Aurora without her knowledge? This person must be madly in love with her," he pondered. Sebastian didn't even realize when he walked over to his bar and grabbed one of the strongest alcoholic drinks, popping it open. He wasn't the type of person who enjoyed drinking, but what he had heard had demoralized him. "This exceeds my expectations. How many days has she been away from here for someone to have spotted her?" He downed the first glass of wine and gestured as if he were talking to someone standing before him. "But wouldn't it back

    Author's pov Marian sat in the passenger seat of the car, while Dennis took the wheel. Leaving the hotel behind, Marian promptly dialed Benedict's number. They had made arrangements the previous night to meet, and for security reasons, Marian suggested meeting at Benedict's house. "Hello, Mr. Benedict, I'm on my way. Should I come to your house now?" Marian asked. "I will give you a call," Benedict replied, ending the conversation abruptly. "Why did he end the call?" Marian wondered aloud, causing Dennis to turn and look at her. Instead of addressing her question, he responded, "I hope you brought the letter I wrote and printed?" "Yes." "In that case, let's wait." Dennis drove for a moment before stopping the car. "Let me see the letter you've written," Marian requested. Dennis opened his bag and handed her the letter. It was the first time Marian had read its contents. Dennis had instructed her to place the letter on the table after successfully poisoning Benedict.

    Aurora’s pov Sebastian is coming tomorrow, what a surprising turn of events. From the weekend to tomorrow. I can't contain my excitement. I'm not sure how to handle this upcoming happiness. Am I happy because Sebastian is coming, or is my brain tricking me into happiness due to the news about Marian? That thought alone made me sit down and reflect on what happened to Marian.

The way he looked at me felt like he was seeing a glimpse of my former self. However, when I challenged him about resembling his former wife, he couldn't respond. I sensed confusion on his face.

    Lucas' pov Am I dreaming? From one shocking news to another. My own ex wife has been my auditor for the past weeks and I never found out. But having the thought that Aurora is carrying the baby of another man is heart wrenching. It's been about ten minutes since I came out of Aurora's house and I have lost my mind. Can I drive myself home? I had forgotten where to start the car and the key was in my hand. That is why whenever I set my eyes on her, there is this feeling that I can't explain. She makes my heart race from the very first day I set my eyes on her. I took out my phone and called Dan. As the phone was ringing, I moved my head left and right and I waited for Dan to pick up my call. “Where have you kept your phone that you kept me waiting for?” I asked. “I'm sorry, but I guess this is your first call.” “Where are you? I…I'm,” “What Lucas? Don't tell me you are still thinking of your ex-wife,” he interrupted me. “Can you imagine? Daisy, the external audito

    Author's pov Daisy approached the door and found Sebastian seated, washing her, as he walked toward it. His initial focus was solely on hearing a man's voice and name. "Has this man been here before?" That was his only concern. He crossed his legs and adjusted himself on the chair, preparing to witness what would happen. Daisy's heart raced with each step towards the door. She had a strange feeling that something strange was about to occur. On opening the door, she held her breath, then she saw Lucas on the other side, holding a bouquet of roses. Standing at the entrance, she blocked Lucas from entering and, despite seeing the flowers, she said, "Sir, what do you want? I have a visitor, and we were occupied..." "Today will mark the last time you call me 'sir.' I am still the man who will always love you. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were my wife. You can change your appearance, but you have failed to change my heart. Aurora, I apologize for everything I've
