Aurora's POVI yanked the door to my room open, an angry look on my face as I thought of what Ramon had just done. How dare he reject me? I was visibly vexed but still, it was great that he had rejected my advance, it shows that no female would be able to seduce him.Sitting upright, I thought of what to wear, somehow, Roselyn had insisted on me seeing Hardin tonight and being done with and that was what I was going to do. What exactly was the need of prolonging it when it can be done right away? Besides, I knew my father wouldn't complain a bit because he wanted me to go. "Fine," I exhaled sharply, let's get this done with and at least my heart wouldn't keep hitching at every little opportunity. "Are you set to leave now?" Roselyn asked from outside, throwing on a robe, unlike my usual self, I took a last glance at the long mirror and smiled at my appearance in the mirror. I didn't look that bad in a gown, "Yes Roselyn" I answered, while taking steps toward her. I was waiting to
Ashley's POV"I think that it should be Princess Aurora to you" I corrected Jackson who had a smirk on his face that I wished I could wipe off "Reminiscing about the time that we spent together, is that how much you miss me?" Men like this were irritating to me and oh Selina, I was forced to wonder what exactly I had seen in him in the first place. Looking at him now, I could see that he was way below my class. Someone who I shouldn't have spoken to in the first place."Oh," I clasped a hand over my mouth."Are you perhaps talking about the time when I caught you fucking a maid?"I retorted sharply at him. He took a step back, there was nothing that had prepared him for the attack that he had gotten. "Youuuu" he snarled, "Have a nice evening Jackson, I wouldn't want to keep you waiting now you know, I know you have a long line of them waiting for you back at home" I took a step forward, with Hardin leading the waySomehow, I felt satisfied, this was the comeback that I had been exp
Aurora's POVSitting upright on the bed, I heaved out heavily, stretching my hand out. I took the little mirror which I had placed on top of the dresser and decided to take a look at my face. "Way to go, Aurora" I rolled my eyes at my appearance. I couldn't tell the girl who I had seen there because it was far away from how I looked. Standing up from the bed that I was seated on, I walked toward the bathroom, deciding to use the toilet. Although I had said I wouldn't shed a tear for Ramon, I had ended up crying myself to sleep. Pathetic.I knew what I had done was wrong, I should have talked to him about it but I haven't. "Your luck then" I decided to take a bath before stepping out. Another new day, another new scandal, and I wondered what the people would think about it. Although I had seen the pictures last night, I wasn't thinking of it. How exactly was I supposed to know that Hardin had brought people who would take pictures of our outing or rather, an overzealous media perso
Aurora's POV"You have become a Shadow of yourself Aurora, this isn't who you are, you have work to do, meetings to attend and your people to address, how long are you going to stay sulking?" Roselyn flipped the cover I had over myself off my body, making me grunt softly. "Let me be, Rosa" I attempted to take back the cover but she wasn't going to let me do so, " Fine" I threw my hands up, "What do you want from me?""It has been" she glanced at her finger, her eyes moving swiftly on them, " one, two, three, gosh it has been three weeks and you are still lying and acting as though you cannot walk or think anymore, what has gotten into you?" She placed both hands on her waist, waiting for me to answer. "I am tired, I need to sleep, so let me be please" I laid down on the bed, hoping that she wouldn't distract me and I sighed in relief when she didn't. "What the heck?" I gasped out, stunned at what was happening. A moment ago, I was lying still and now, here I was drenched."Roselyn
Aurora's POV Letting out a sigh from my lips, I held Roselyn firmly on the wrist, this was my past, a past that I was returning to, one that I thought I wouldn't be going to any time soon but here I was, standing in the very same place. "Are you okay?" Roselyn asked, jolting me out of my wide sea of thought. "Yes…yes…of course I am, why are you asking?" I flashed a smile at her, she shook her head before getting into the car which was supposed to take us to the shopping center, "Are you sure you are okay? If you are not, we can wait a little bit until you are okay" she suggested. " Why is everyone treating me like I am some fragile doll which will break easily?" I flicked my head at her, waiting for her to answer "Princess, you have to fasten your seat belt please" one of the royal guards who was driving the car we were in said to me, "Thank you" I fastened the seat belt, making sure it clasped properly before letting go of it. I glanced out of the mirror staring at the street
Laden's POVI shook my head trying to get rid of the person who I had seen earlier, if indeed that was Aurora, she wouldn't have denied us in such a way. Although I didn't want to believe that whoever it was, was Aurora, I couldn't deny the fact that a part of me wished that it was her. The eyes, the same green orbs as Aurora's made me wonder who exactly would look so much like her if it wasn't Aurora herself. My parents haven't been able to get over the girl they had seen in the mall and they had kept talking about how it was Aurora. Rubbing my forehead with my thumb, I exhaled gently. I was sure I would be coming down with a headache very soon if I didn't relax a bit and stop thinking of the fact that I had seen her." Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, I had forgotten I was here with him, and for a second there, "Yes, I am, is something wrong?" I forced a smile on my face. " Actually, I have been…." Shit, what exactly was I trying to do? I placed a hand over my mouth, shutting m
Aurora's POVWith a hand on the doorknob, I stood still listening to what my parents were talking about. " You shouldn't have printed this out, you shouldn't have done that, why exactly did you do that?" I could hear my mother's voice as she screamed at my father, something that she rarely did. What exactly was wrong? I wondered " She is an adult Alberta, our daughter is an adult and she deserves to make her choice, what exactly are you talking about?" My father asked angrily. I took in a deep breath, trying to calm down my nerves before coming in. I didn't know whatever it was that was making them act like that so I had to be cautious." She will leave us, don't you get it? Aurora will leave us, we…we have barely had her and now this…. don't do this, please…don't, I am pleading" I gulped in, before pushing the door open, flashing a smile at my parents, I stared at my mother whose eyes were teary already. "What is wrong, mother?" I patted her cheek gently, wiping off the tears
Aurora's POVLeaning against the balcony attached to my room with a glass of alcoholic wine in hand, I let out a sigh contemplating what to do. Tomorrow would be a new day, one that I knew there was no way to evade because doing that will only heighten suspicion, one that I couldn't afford at the moment.I walked around, sitting on the lounge chair which was neatly placed in the corner, the moon was out and it was looking beautiful, its rays shone on my skin, making it glisten. A Lot of thoughts kept running through my mind but I shook my head, discarding it. Not now, all I wanted to do was get drunk and wake up tomorrow. Although I knew the possibility of waking up with a hangover was high, still it was a chance I was ready to take. I reclined against the chair, my mind flashing back to Ramon who had been banned from coming to the palace by my father. Oddly, I missed him and I wished that I had given him a chance to explain himself, at least that would have helped but I had gone wi
