The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 22| Why do I feel like I know them?
Aurora “No?” Leo repeated, raising an eyebrow as he leaned back in his chair. “Why not?”“I just… I was thinking I might go with you instead,” Noah said quickly, his words slightly rushed.Leo frowned, tilting his head in confusion. “You? I asked you last week, and you said you were too busy. What’s with the sudden change of heart?”Noah hesitated, glancing at me briefly before looking back at Leo. “I just thought it’d be a good opportunity to, you know, network. And maybe keep an eye on you.”Leo smirked, clearly not buying it. “Keep an eye on me? Please, Noah, I’ve been to dozens of conferences without you playing babysitter.”“The answer is still no.”I furrowed my brows, looking at Noah “Since when do you care who I go to a conference with, Noah?”Noah exhaled sharply, avoiding my gaze as he picked up his drink. “I just think it’s better if I go. That’s all.”Yeah, right. He was the type of person who couldn't hide his feelings. He could never fool me. There was definitely someth

Aurora Blinking lights. Horns blaring in the distance. I blinked. I couldn’t move, couldn’t think. My body felt frozen, stuck in place as the headlights grew brighter, blinding me. My hands tightened around the steering wheel. Before I had the chance to process anything, a truck slammed Into my car, the impact sending it spinning. Glass shattered everywhere, slicing into my arms and face. My head hit the window hard, and everything started to blur. I hit the surface with a splash, the force knocking the breath out of me. The water rushed in through the broken windows, soaking everything. The water around me had turned blood red. I gasped, choking on water as it flooded my mouth and nose. My chest burned as I fought for air, my hands fumbling with the seatbelt. No, no. I had to get out of here. I don't want to die. My boys, mother, Noah and Ezra were waiting for me at home. I had people waiting for me at home! Someone please help me. Then I saw it. High above, standing

Aurora My first mistake of the night. "Ms, I'm sorry, but you need an invitation to enter," the woman at the front desk said, her voice firm yet polite. I arched an eyebrow, suppressing the urge to sigh loudly. How did this happen? “I must have forgotten it. Is there any way you could let me in? I’m sure my surname is on the list.” The woman gave me an apologetic smile, but there was no warmth in her expression. “I’m sorry, ma’am. No invitation, no entry. That’s the rule.” I pinched the bridge of my nose, the frustration bubbling beneath my skin. Of course, I’d forget it. My mother had been rushing me all evening, dragging me to a salon to have my hair and makeup done. By the time we finished, she’d conveniently decided she was “too tired to go” and insisted that I still attend. “You’ve already dressed up, Aurora. It would be a shame to waste all the effort,” she’d said with a sly smile before practically shoving me out the door. Now here I was, standing in front of the gran

Aurora“Who the fuck are you? And what are you doing with my boyfriend?”The entire hall fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Every eye turned toward us, curiosity and gossip flashing in their gazes, as though they had just found their next source of entertainment.But me?My eyes were fixed on the shattered glass scattered across the floor. I felt a chill creep through my body, not from fear or humiliation, but from anger—the kind of anger that I had been trying to control all evening. “Your boyfriend?” I asked, slowly lifting my gaze and locking eyes with the woman who had slapped the drink out of my hand.“Yes, my boyfriend. Don’t play dumb. Everyone knows Alexander and I are dating. We might be going through some difficulties right now, but we’re still together. If you think you can seduce him with your ugly face, you’re delusional, you can never replace me, you hoe.”"Are you done with the drama?" I asked, my voice low but calm.The woman blinked, clearly caught off

Aurora For some reason, this feeling was familiar, as if I had experienced it before, but I couldn’t remember when. I shifted uncomfortably, the room felt stifling. It was far too warm, despite the air conditioning. Something was wrong. My hands trembled slightly as I set the empty glass down on a nearby table, my breathing shallow and uneven. Heat radiated through my body, making my skin feel feverish. My dress was clinging to me in a way that made me want to rip it off. What the hell is happening to me? My cheeks flushed—not with embarrassment, but with a fire that seemed to ignite from deep inside me. A strange haze clouded my mind, and I clenched my fists, fighting to stay in control. Then it clicked. Aphrodisiac. My stomach twisted at the realization, and panic set in. That waiter had spiked my drink. I scanned the room, trying to steady my breathing as my pulse rang in my ears, but he was nowhere to be seen. The crowd blurred together, my vision swam slightl

DamienI sat in the private lounge on the second floor, legs crossed as I leaned back in the leather chair, my gaze fixed on the scene below. The ballroom stretched out before me, a sea of glittering dresses, sharp suits, and champagne glasses sparkling under the golden lights.The crowd moved like a well rehearsed dance, but my attention wasn’t on them—it was on her.Dr. Aurora.I swirled the wine glass in my hand lazily, watching as she entered the room earlier with Alexander at her side. It was unexpected. I hadn’t thought I would see her again so soon after that elevator encounter.She didn’t seem out of place here, despite the fact that she wasn’t like the rest of these vultures. It was as if she were the main character, and everyone else was just there to play a supporting role. My gaze traveled down her length. Her black dress hugged her in all the right places, making her stand out without even trying. She was stunning, even I had to admit it.I should have looked away then.

Damien “I won’t allow you to take her, Damien. I don’t trust her with you.” For a second, I didn’t respond. I just stared at him, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. The audacity. The sheer arrogance. Does he think he has nine lives? Because I’m about to make sure he only has one left—and barely at that. “Let go,” I said, my tone flat and dangerously low. My patience was hanging by a thread, and I didn’t bother hiding it. Alexander didn’t move. His grip tightened slightly, as if he thought he could stop me. “I mean it,” he said. “You don’t care about people, Damien. She needs help, not whatever cold indifference you plan to throw her way. You can’t take care of anyone—that’s just who you are. If you take her, you’ll destroy her.” I arched an eyebrow, amusement flickering in my gaze. “That's rich coming from you.” I titled my head slightly. “When you’re the one who started all this in the first place. You create something stupid and let others face the consequences

Damien“I’m so horny. I want you.”Her words hit me like a jolt of electricity, my grip tightening on her waist as I froze in place. I flicked my gaze towards the rearview mirror. The driver’s eyes widened slightly, his gaze darting away as if pretending he hadn’t heard. Without a word, I reached for the partition controls and pressed the button. The glass slid up slowly, separating us from the front of the car.“Mr. Elevator…” she murmured, her tone filled with desire as she leaned closer to me.I turned to her, my face impassive as always, though my mind was racing inside.The flush on her cheeks, the glazed look in her eyes, the way she was pressed against my body—I was losing control.No, I had to resist. I could not lose control. Not now. Not ever. Not like that night.Her hand reached for me, but before she could touch me, I grabbed her by the waist, lifting her with ease and placing her firmly in the seat beside me.“Stay,” I said sharply, my tone cold and commanding.But she

The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 78|| The guilt trip
Nathaniel “Oh, big brother, they attacked us!” Olivia cried dramatically the moment she saw me. She ran straight into my chest, sobbing so loudly she nearly choked. She looked like a complete mess. Her dress looked ripped apart and torn and she looked like a mad woman with there literally being a bald spot on her head that looked like it had been ripped right off. I stood at the entrance of the hospital room, dumbfounded, as I took in the sight before me. Serena was unconscious on the bed.Just moments ago, I’d been speaking with a patient, my mind still reeling from meeting Doctor Aurora. After everything I’d done to finally cross paths with her, she had to meet him—that bastard who nearly injured her. If she had been hurt, imagine the damage it would’ve done to the hospital’s reputation.And yet, all I could think about was the way she looked. Her blonde hair, those clear, bright eyes. And the strange feeling that I’ve met her before. There was something familiar about her, someth
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 77|| The big fight
Serena “I see you’re out shopping,” Clarissa said, her left hand on her hip and a smirk tugging at her lips. “My father got the invitation to your husband’s event. I’ll be attending with my family, so it only makes sense that you’re buying new clothes so you wouldn’t want to be overshadowed at your own party.”Her other hand was holding a designer bag, and she sneered at me with a look that could rot milk. Her red hair was pulled into a ponytail so tight, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had fried a few of her brain cells.By now, people had started glancing our way, sensing the drama. Olivia, who didn’t know how to hold down her anger, poked her head out from behind me, her eyes glaring right at Clarissa.I tilted my head to the side and bit my lip, trying hard to fight the urge to insult her entire generation. Because that would suit the careful image I’d crafted for years. “Clarissa,” I said with a sweet smile, “if you were worried about being overshadowed, I’d be more than happy to
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 76|| The Winner’s Life
SerenaEvery morning, I wake up and look in the mirror grinning like I own the world. And why wouldn’t I? Winners smile. That’s what we do.When you want something badly enough, you don’t just wait around hoping it comes to you. You take it. You claw, bleed, and fuck your sister’s husband if you have to. Because this world isn’t fair. It’s a game. And there are only two kinds of people, winners… and losers.Astrid—my dear, dead sister—was the latter. A loser through and through.“Young madam, Miss Olivia is waiting for you downstairs,” the maid called gently from behind the door.I smiled, still facing the mirror, leaning in to perfect my lipstick. A soft smack of my lips, and I rose to my feet, admiring the reflection that stared back at me.Even after two kids, my body was still flawless. Tight, toned, glowing. Every inch of me radiated power, beauty, and control.Because I had it all.My parents’ love. My darling Nathaniel.And Astrid’s life.I stepped down the staircase, each clic
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 75|| The nagging dread
DamienWhat if Astrid, the woman who shattered my carefully built defenses for a single night, had never truly disappeared?I can’t help but scoff, what a stupid thought but the more I thought about it the more I found myself stumped.My men had done their research. Every report, every scrap of evidence pointed to the fact that she had burned to ashes in that accident. There wasn’t even a body left to bury. And yet, something didn’t sit right.For one, the case had been open and shut. A freak accident. They said a truck had collided with her car while she was distracted. The driver barely survived. Three days after being admitted to the hospital, he vanished. No one batted an eye. Who cared where a middle-aged man who could barely walk disappeared to? I sent Jason to find his family, but they had vanished too. Strange. I would have dug deeper if I cared.But I didn’t.I wasn’t grieving. I wasn’t haunted by loss. I was just… unsettled.Astrid had no right to do what she did to come int
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 74|| A case of delusion
Damien Spending my evening in a supermarket shopping for gifts and flowers wasn’t exactly how I’d pictured my life thirty years down the line. If someone had told me back then that I’d willingly buy a woman flowers, I’d have sent them straight to jail. Yet, there I was, arms crossed, eyes narrowed at a bouquet of roses. Trying my best to ignore Jason, who had apparently forgotten how to behave. He wasn’t shocked, just in awe, already composing the tales he’d spin for Sofia when we got home. But I was stumped. Aurora was a mystery, one I wanted to unravel piece by piece. Finding a flower she’d actually like was turning out to be more of a challenge than I’d expected. And after that heart-to-heart with my grandfather, it was becoming harder to deny that whatever I felt for her was real. Roses or Poises. Elegant or sweet. Doctor Aurora was as elegant as a rose—poised, breathtaking, impossible to ignore. But she had thrones, ones that I wasn’t sure she even knew. But I was so f
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 73| The reunion
Aurora The cool, sterile air of the hospital brushed against my skin as I walked out of Nathaniel’s office. My mind was spinning. An ex-wife? That revelation sat heavy in my chest, creating more questions than answers. Why had no one ever mentioned it before? Why had he mentioned it to me? And why was my heart racing every time I thought about it? I shook my head, trying to clear the confusion. My steps echoed faintly in the hallway as I moved forward, but I couldn’t focus on where I was going. It felt like I was walking in circles. The feeling of always getting close to your goal and then being back at the beginning was frustrating. Whenever I was near the truth, something or someone always had to stop me from finding out. It was starting to annoy me. I could just stop all this trouble and ask my mother or my brothers, but I doubt they would be much help. They were hiding my past for a reason, and they wouldn't just tell me. Nathaniel asked me out for dinner, and the way he
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 72| I'm interested in you
Aurora “Doctor Aurora?” Nathaniel stared at me in surprise, his eyes carefully studying my face as if he was trying to see if I was really the one sitting in front of him. I met his gaze with no particular emotion. I planned for this. I played out so many different versions of how this meeting would go. How I would act. What I would say. What I would ask. But now? Now I was just… staring at this man. This man who felt familiar and yet a complete stranger all at once. Nathaniel’s eyes darted to my body, as if trying to make sure I was okay. Then, much to my surprise, he sighed heavily, leaning forward and placing his head in his hands. “I’m sorry, Doctor Aurora,” I blinked, caught off guard by the sudden apology. “Sorry? Why are you apologizing?” He looked up at me, his expression open and honest. “It’s my fault. You came to my hospital, and you almost got hurt. You were dragged into something dangerous.” I tilted my head slightly. Was he serious? Did he actually mean it
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 71| Was this all an act?
Aurora I stared at him in disbelief. What just happened? Did he just catch the knife with his bare hands? Did he just save me from getting killed? At the moment when the knife was about to make contact with my body, I thought about a lot of things. A lot of people that meant so much to me—people I couldn't leave behind. But unexpectedly, he saved me. Nathaniel saved me from being killed. Blood dripped from his palm onto the floor, but he didn’t even flinch. Why? Why would Nathaniel do that? "Who the hell are you?" The man shouted, bringing me back to the present. Nathaniel straightened, his bloody hand still clutching the knife, and pushed me behind him. He stood tall, his presence commanding the room as he looked the man directly in the eyes. "I am Doctor Nathaniel. I don’t believe we’ve met, but I was the surgeon who performed your daughter’s operation." The man’s eyes widened, his face twisting with rage. "You bastard! You're the person that killed my Juliet." he shouted, y
The Billionaire Heiress Revenge Comback 70| I will kill her!
Aurora I stared up at the massive hospital in front of me, The building was both inviting and intimidating. It was slightly larger than my brother’s hospital, which was not surprising, given its history. This place had been around for decades, building its reputation as not just a place of healing but also one of hope. Known for its work with patients who couldn’t afford treatment, it stood out in a world where healthcare was often ruled by greed. But, more than anything, this hospital was known for him. Dr. Nathaniel Davis. The surgeon everyone adored. The media’s golden boy. The man who seemed to embody perfection every time he appeared on TV or in interviews, his kind smile and composed personality made people swoon. A family man, a husband material and the perfect father. Trust me, I could say more, after all I had done my research. I ran a hand through my blonde hair, letting out a quiet sigh. We agreed to meet after that day and I was the one who set the time and th
