I wanna be like you!""We have a graduation party after the exams, wanna sign up, Aurora?"Everyone was talking to Aurora, completely ignoring Sophia.Sophia was so mad she wanted to rip Aurora's face off, or throw water on these people!Have they gone mad?So what if Aurora lost weight?She should still be the same unnoticeable Aurora, forever in the corner, making Sophia shine.Sophia Pendleton, SHE was the school beauty!Sophia walked up to the podium, affectionately linking arms with Aurora, "Yeah, Sis, there's a graduation party after the exams.

Cheryl paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. She pulled off her hoop skirt and yanked off her wig. Only then did Aurora see that Cheryl was a short-haired girl.After removing her heavy stage makeup, her features carried a hint of tomboyish charm, yet she looked adorably naive when she smiled.Cheryl changed into her school uniform and came out to ask her, "School's out. Ready to go?"Aurora nodded. Cheryl walked over, hooked her arm around Aurora's, and they headed out with their backpacks.Aurora was a slow-to-warm-up kind of person. Years of being an assassin had made her accustomed to loneliness and caution. But meeting Cheryl today, she found her personality irresistibly likable.Cheryl was very outgoing, and she found Aurora interesting. She chatted non-stop as they walked."Don't you regret quitting the drama club so impulsively?" Aurora asked her."I joined the drama club 'cause I wanted to try out acting. But honestly, those guys

"Who??""Who's the top scorer??""No way, I must've heard wrong!""This is some next-level stuff, huh??"The classroom erupted into chaos. Sophia shrieked, "Impossible! There's gotta be a mistake!"The teacher shot her a disapproving look. "Why is it impossible?""She must've cheated!" Sophia's face twisted as she pointed at Aurora.As soon as she said that, others chimed in."Yeah, she definitely cheated, right?""If she can get first place, so can I!""From bottom of the barrel to top of the class? Who's buying that?"Everyone was buzzing, looking at Aurora with disdain. A first place earned through cheating was worthless to them.Meanwhile, Aurora sat unfazed by the window at the back of the room, calmly watching Sophia's antics.Sophia spoke again, "Sis, cheating can get you expelled. Just admit your mistake; maybe you can still stay."Aurora turned to the teacher and smiled, "So, are you gonna expel me?"The teacher was slightly annoyed, "Aurora's past poor performance was due to

As Aurora had put it, ever since she returned to school, she'd completely stolen Sophia's spotlight.People even started threads on the school forum, urging their fellow students to vote for a new "school beauty." Sophia was utterly ignored.On top of that, Aurora consistently ranked first in mock exams, while Sophia's grades plummeted. Many guys started to openly confess to Aurora, calling her their "queen of academics."Sophia returned home in a rage, smashing things. No matter how Madeline tried to soothe her, she was losing patience with Sophia.Now, her grandpa was treating Aurora like his prized possession, even arranging a driver for her daily commute.

No choice but to order takeout, Aurora and her friends sat in the dining room, celebrating her graduation with delivery food.Munching on a chicken leg, Aurora asked, "You guys got your IDs sorted?"Jay took a swig of beer and grinned, "All set, man. Carly's a top-tier hacker. Making me a fake ID was a piece of cake."Aurora blinked, "Just for you? What about the rest of us?"Jasper wiped his hands and said, "Look, we talked it over. Carly and I have too many old enemies. Staying here would be a risk for you, and we've got unfinished business. So we can't stick around."Aurora fell silent. She thought Jasper and the gang would always be with her. Just when they'd reunited, they were splitting up again.Carly chuckled, "Don't be sad. You can hit us up anytime. We're just going to take care of some stuff. We'll be back when the time's right.""When are you leaving?" Aurora asked."Tomorrow morning. We're heading to Europe to dig up some dirt on the Whitmores," Jasper replied.Aurora for

The next day, Heath arrived at the Pendleton residence to pick up Aurora for a trip to the airport."Sweetheart, take good care of yourself in the capital, alright? Don't make me worry," her grandpa said, full of concern."Don't worry, Grandpa, I got it," Aurora assured him."Heath, I'm entrusting Aurora to you. Take good care of her," the old man told Heath.Heath nodded, "You can count on me, sir."The old man looked a bit down as he held her hand, "Go on, go on. I'll come visit you in the capital soon."As Aurora got into the car, her eyes reddened. Her grandpa looked so pitiful, like a forlorn old man, it broke her heart.Heath patted her hand but said nothing.After a three-hour flight, Aurora was practically dozing off.Heath drove to an apartment complex and led her into the elevator.

Soon, she'd bring Evelyn crashing down from her high perch.Walking into Harmony, the receptionist led her into an office.A short-haired woman sat behind the desk, dressed in a business suit and wearing glasses. She looked sharp and competent.She glanced up and asked, "Aurora?"Aurora nodded, "Hi, Manager Winters. I'm the new intern."Manager Winters, whose full name was Jasmine Winters, was a top agent at Harmony in the early years. She'd been promoted recently and no longer managed talents, except for Evelyn.In other words, Evelyn's rise to her current position owed a lot to Winters.Winters nodded, "Start as an assistant.

When Aurora arrived at the TV station, Evelyn sat in the makeup room, bored out of her mind and scrolling through her phone. She didn't look worried at all.Seeing Aurora soaked from the rain, Evelyn grinned and said, "Well, well, if it isn't the heiress of the Pendletons. What's got you running errands?"Evelyn's assistant chimed in, sucking up as usual, "Heiress of the Pendletons? There's only you, the eldest, and the youngest, Sophia. This one doesn't look like a rich young lady at all."Evelyn laughed, "Aurora, Sophia is young and naive, easy for you to manipulate. You think I'm like her? You dare to show up here? I'll skin you alive if you do!"Evelyn sashayed into the fitting room. Her assistant tossed the dress Evelyn had taken off to Aurora and snatched the bag containing the new gown, taking it into the fitting room.The dress Evelyn had taken off was perfectly fine; she was just making things difficult for Aurora on purpose.Aurora unzipped the old dress and tossed it onto a

The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The End
The next morning, Vespera was woken up at dawn, barely getting a few hours of sleep. Known as a dedicated designer, she was usually the first one awake, but today she could barely keep her eyes open. As the stylist worked on her hair and makeup, Vespera sat half-dazed, drifting in and out, completely unaware of the hands tugging her in all directions.Two hours later, with her hair and makeup done, Vespera finally slipped into her wedding dress. The reality hit her, and for the first time, she fully realized she was about to get married.Memories flooded back, particularly that first encounter with Alaric. He’d been sprawled on the steps outside, a bit too tipsy, looking up with half-closed eyes, asking, “What’s wrong with me?” Vespera, surprising even herself, had replied, “Nothing at all.”Back then, he was just a bright, headstrong young man, carrying so many dreams and frustrations. Somewhere along the way, he’d grown into this strong, grounded man. And somehow, after everything,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Ready to Be Married
It wasn’t until a few days after their engagement that it even crossed Vespera’s mind to ask about the villa.Alaric confirmed he’d bought it, explaining that he’d thought she might like it and decided to go for it. As for renovations, he wanted to wait until she officially agreed to everything; after all, they’d eventually need their own place—living with Zane forever wasn’t exactly an option.By now, the news of Alaric and Vespera’s engagement had spread everywhere. Alaric was practically ready to announce it to the world on social media, but thankfully, Aurora stepped in, suggesting he keep things low-key since he was the company CEO. Plus, Vespera wasn’t exactly a fan of the public spotlight.Alaric reluctantly held back but couldn’t resist dropping hints in his friend group chat every other day. Heath and the rest were used to it by now—except Lysander, who constantly complained that he was drowning in a sea of "lovey-dovey vibes," being the lone single guy among them.When Auror

The next morning, Alaric woke up, remembering last night’s events. He pinched himself—no, it wasn’t a dream. Vespera had actually said yes.He jumped out of bed, showered, changed, and even straightened his tie before driving to her studio. There she was, focused on work, wearing a stylish dress and light makeup, looking absolutely radiant.When he walked in, Vespera looked up, surprised. “Finally awake?” she asked with a smirk.Alaric simply nodded, taking her hand without a word and leading her downstairs. She stumbled after him, asking, “Where are we going?”Alaric gently nudged her into his car, driving her toward a villa. Vespera was clueless and a bit shocked, glancing around, unsure of what was happening.They finally arrived at a beautiful villa. Alaric opened the door, and she asked, “Did you just buy this?”&n
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Alaric Proposed
The next morning, Alaric was finally over his fever. When Vespera woke up, he was already waiting in the living room. After breakfast, they both headed to their respective offices.Aurora’s team reported they’d successfully returned to the Whitmore family’s estate. For her, that had been a fierce battle. For Vespera, however, the real challenge lay ahead: the design competition.Ever since her last conversation with Yvonne, where Yvonne had hinted that everything she had was due to Aurora and Alaric’s support, Vespera had been determined to prove herself. She wanted to be worthy of Alaric and was pouring all her energy into this competition.After submitting her designs, Vespera anxiously waited at home for results. When the winners were finally announced online, she saw her name in second place. The relief and pride were overwhelming. She had finally achieved something worth sharing with Alaric.

Vespera had reclaimed her brand, and Alaric seemed to be maturing by the day, treating her like she was his entire world. Everything seemed to be falling into place.After that showdown in Alaric’s office with Elowen, she hadn’t shown her face again. Vespera figured it was over, that Elowen had finally given up. Everyone else thought the same.But on the day they took graduation photos, Aurora disappeared. Heath and Alaric eventually tracked her down — Elowen had taken her. Vespera was frantic, blaming herself for not protecting Aurora better.Heath and Alaric couldn’t stop Aurora’s flight at the airport, so they booked tickets to the UK to get her back. Vespera had too much to handle here to join them, so she only saw Alaric off at the airport.He held her close, whispering, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, and Aurora will be safe.”Vespera hugged him back tightly. She trusted him. Alaric and Heath would get this done — Elowen had crossed a line that couldn’t be ignored, and she knew

This past week, Aurora had been tirelessly setting up to counter Evelyn and her allies, Yvonne and Elowen. Meanwhile, Alaric, working alongside Aurora to reclaim Elowen’s brand.A week later, the press conference went ahead as planned. Alaric helped Vespera pick an outfit, stayed until she’d finished her makeup, and then drove her to the venue himself.The conference, led by Evelyn, was a disaster for her team. They failed to take over Aurora’s company, couldn’t drive her out of the Pendleton family, and made no progress in placing Yvonne and Elowen as CEO and head designer. Their plans had backfired entirely.Leaving the venue, Yvonne, clearly shaken, stepped in front of a car without looking and was hit, blood pooling around her. Vespera, stunned and dizzy at the sight, would have collapsed if Alaric hadn’t steadied her.Frantically, Vespera fumbled with her phone to call home, stammering, “It’s Yvonne… she’s bleeding so much…”As someone unaccustomed to such violence, Vespera was t

Alaric looked at Vespera with an innocent expression and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m not a creep.”“Not a creep?” Vespera glared at him. “Then what were you doing in my room?”Alaric almost groaned. “If I told you I was here to give you a massage, would you believe me?”“Total creep!” she shouted. “Sneaking into my bed while I was asleep!”Alaric shot back, “I did not! When I woke up, you were the one curled up on me!”Vespera paused, recalling the moment she woke up. Okay, maybe she had been cozying up to him. Wait a second—was he implying she was the one acting out of line?Seeing her hesitation, Alaric grinned smugly. “See? You were just as comfortable with it!”“Get out!” Vespera yelled.Alaric left the room, trying not to smile too much. Sure, nothing happened, but just getting to hold her felt amazing. Although… his shoulder was sore from her leaning on him all night, so he headed back to his room to grab a few more hours of sleep.Vespera, alone in her room, listened as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Close Your Eyes
Vespera walked ahead, casual and carefree in a T-shirt and shorts, no makeup, and even bare of high heels, while Alaric trailed close behind with a jacket in hand, grinning like a fool. Everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but notice—their usually composed CEO was tagging along, practically beaming.Catching up to her, Alaric draped his jacket over her shoulders. “How could you leave without dressing warmer? You’ll end up with a stomach ache tonight,” he said, his voice soft with affection.Vespera felt a warm flutter in her chest but stayed quiet, letting his jacket settle around her as they walked out. Alaric was thrilled she hadn’t brushed him off; emboldened, he slipped his hand into hers, wrapping her cold fingers in his.For a moment, she stiffened, then relaxed, letting her hand nestle securely in his. Together, they headed to the parking lot, Alaric practically floating with joy. This felt better than winning the lottery!Bringing her home, Alaric felt out of his depth—things h

Alaric stood in his office, with Elowen right in front of him, her hand tugging at his tie, a faint smirk hidden beneath her slightly indignant expression.Seeing the scene, Vespera nearly turned around and left right then and there. But she reminded herself of her purpose for coming today. She was done hiding from Elowen. Even if Alaric wasn’t hers in the end, she’d be damned if he ended up with someone like Elowen.So Vespera strode into the office, fixed her gaze on them, and asked, “What’s going on here?”At the sound of her voice, Alaric spun around, fumbling to free his tie from Elowen’s grip. But Elowen held tight, glancing over at Vespera with a slight smile. “Miss Thornfield? You’re here?”Vespera closed the door behind her, gave a slight nod, and asked again, “What exactly is this about?”Elowen smirked. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask Alaric if I could borrow a few people to help promote my new fashion line. Not sure if he’s on board with it, though.”“Not a chance,
