Chapter 111: A Mother's Worry
Last Updated:
2025-03-20 01:00:45“What?! Oh my God, Loyd! Don't ever do that again, okay?” Carmela scolded, her voice laced with worry.
She pulled her grandson into a tight embrace, as if afraid he would disappear any second.Aurora let out a deep sigh. She had just finished telling her mother what had happened earlier when they left, and as expected, Carmela was immediately worried.“I’m sorry, Grandma! I won’t do it again!” Loyd said, his voice small and remorseful.Carmela gently pulled him away just enough to cup his face and look him in the eyes.“You better not, Loyd. Next time, we might not be able to find you. Never talk to strangers, okay?”Loyd pouted, but after a moment, he nodded.“Yes, Grandma,” he answered. Then, tilting his head in curiosity, he added, “But Mommy was talking to a stranger earlier too!”Carmela’s brows furrowed as she turned her gaze toward her daughter.Aurora froze. She knew exactly who Loyd was referring to.“A stranger? Who was it?” Carmela

Aurora arrived at her office earlier than usual that morning. She had barely slept the night before, her mind constantly circling back to her run-in with Lucian. Her mother’s words echoed in her head, planting fears she didn’t want to acknowledge. What if Lucian tried to take Loyd from her? No. She refused to entertain the thought. Loyd was hers. Only hers. She took a deep breath, shaking off her worries. Work. That was what she needed right now. She needed to focus. Aurora buried herself in paperwork, answering emails, signing documents, and reviewing proposals. The steady rhythm of her work helped drown out her anxious thoughts. Until a knock interrupted her. Her assistant, Claire, peeked inside. “Ma’am, Lucian Aldric is here to see you.” Aurora’s breath caught. She clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms. “Tell him I’m busy.” Cla

“W-What did you say?”Lucian sighed.“I went there, Aurora. That’s the truth. I was only in prison for two years. But I couldn’t go right away because I had to serve my parole first. And as soon as it was over, I went there to see you,” Lucian explained softly, his eyes glistening with emotion.Aurora blinked rapidly. She sank back into her swivel chair, trying to calm herself.Lucian went to the U.S. to find her?“But… t-that’s not true! I never saw you there!” she insisted.Aurora might not have wanted to admit it, but she waited. She hoped Lucian would knock on their door.That he would beg for her forgiveness.Because deep down, no matter how much she hated him, she knew she would still welcome him with open arms.Lucian’s gaze softened. He stepped closer, stopping right in front of her desk.“I went there, Aurora. I saw you carrying our son. I saw how happy you were with him… but

Aurora stood outside Rebecca’s penthouse, hesitating for a moment before pressing the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door swung open, revealing Rebecca in a silk robe, her brows arching in surprise. "Aurora?" Rebecca stepped aside, allowing her in. "It’s late. What brings you here?" "I needed to talk," Aurora admitted, stepping into the sleek, modern penthouse. It was exactly as she remembered—minimalist yet luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline. Rebecca led her to the terrace, where the cool night air greeted them. A bottle of wine and two half-filled glasses sat on the small table. Rebecca took a sip from hers before tilting her head at Aurora. She could see the sadness and hesitation in her friend’s eyes. "Let me guess," she said knowingly. "This is about Lucian." Aurora sighed, sinking into the cushioned chair across from her.

Aurora stood in the kitchen, absentmindedly stirring her coffee as she stared out the window. Lucian had been persistent these past few days, wanting to spend more time with her and Loyd. She wasn’t sure how to handle it. Loyd was still too young to understand everything, and she wasn’t ready to let him get attached only to risk him getting hurt. Yet, despite her caution, things weren’t going the way she expected. “Mommy, can we go to the park today?” Loyd’s small voice pulled her from her thoughts. She turned to see her son standing by the dining table, his big, hopeful eyes watching her. Aurora smiled and knelt to his level, brushing his messy bed hair aside. “You want to go to the park?” Loyd nodded eagerly. “Yeah! Uncle Lucian said he’ll teach me how to kick a ball like a real soccer player!” Aurora stilled.

Aurora sat across from Rebecca in their favorite café, her fingers idly tracing the rim of her coffee cup. She hadn’t even taken a sip yet. The warmth of the drink did nothing to ease the knot in her stomach. Rebecca, dressed in her usual sharp yet effortless style, watched her with narrowed eyes. “I still don’t get it,” Rebecca finally said, leaning back in her chair. “Why are you even giving him a chance?” Aurora sighed. “I don’t know, Rebecca. I wish I had a solid answer, but I don’t.” Rebecca scoffed, swirling her iced latte with her straw. “That’s the problem, Aurora. You’re doing this because you feel something, but feelings don’t erase the past.” She leaned forward, her gaze piercing. “You don’t have to punish him forever, but that doesn’t mean you have to let him back in either.” Aurora clenched her jaw. “I know

Lucian sat in the dimly lit study of his penthouse, fingers drumming restlessly against the surface of his desk. He was still on cloud nine from bonding with Loyd and Aurora. He had waited for this moment his entire life. And now, Aurora was finally letting him back into their lives. All he needed to do now was ensure their safety. A thick file lay open before him, filled with reports, documents, and records—pieces of a puzzle that didn’t quite fit together yet. A knock on his office door broke his thoughts. It swung open, and Alfred stepped inside, holding a brown envelope. His expression was grim. Alfred stopped near the desk, his grip on the envelope tightening. “Any news?” Lucian asked. Alfred cleared his throat before answering. “It’s confirmed. Your father’s release wasn’t just a coincidence. Someone pulled strings to

Aurora sat on the park bench, watching Loyd run ahead. His laughter echoed through the open air, bright and carefree, as he chased after the colorful kites dotting the sky. Lucian sat beside her, his arm resting casually along the back of the bench. He wasn’t touching her, but she could feel his presence—solid, unwavering. “Loyd looks happy,” Lucian said softly, his gaze fixed on their son. Aurora nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. “He is.” Hesitation never truly left her whenever Lucian asked to see Loyd. She knew that spending more time together meant allowing him a deeper place in their lives. And that scared her. But as she watched Loyd’s joyful expression, she realized just how much this meant to him. How much it meant to Lucian. “Thank you,” Lucian murmured, his voice sincere. “For giving me this.” Aurora turned to him, searching his f

Aurora sat on the couch, staring at the floor. Her hands rested on her lap, fingers loosely interlocked, but she wasn’t really aware of them. Her mind was somewhere else—back in the park, back in the moment she saw the heartbreak in her mother’s eyes.She exhaled slowly, feeling the weight in her chest pressing harder with each passing second.Lucian stood by the window, his arms crossed, watching her. He hadn’t spoken in a while, but his presence filled the room. She could feel his concern, heavy and unspoken.Finally, he broke the silence. “I should talk to her.”Aurora lifted her head slightly but didn’t look at him. “No.”Lucian frowned. “Aurora—”“She needs time.” Her voice was soft but firm. “Pushing her right now will only make it worse.”Lucian sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t like leaving things unresolved.”Aurora let out a quiet, bitter laugh. “Neither do I. But this isn’t about what we want.”Lucian

Aurora barely had time to think as she rushed through the grand hallway, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Every second felt like an eternity, and every breath was filled with a sense of urgency. Loyd was out there, somewhere, trapped in the hands of a man she had thought was long dead.Lester Aldric.The name sent a shiver down her spine. She had spent the last few hours wrestling with the shock of it, but there was no time for hesitation now. If what Red had found was true, then Lester was alive, and he was the one behind her son’s kidnapping.She clutched her phone tightly in her hand as she stormed toward the front door. She was going to end this.But just as she reached the entrance, the heavy doors swung open, and Lucian stepped inside.Aurora’s breath hitched.Lucian was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tie loosened slightly as though he had rushed here. His golden eyes immediately locked onto her, dark with intensity. The moment he saw her standing there,
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 151: The Kidnapper
Aurora hadn’t slept for hours. The weight of the situation had turned her mind into a whirlwind of thoughts, none of them bringing any comfort. The room felt suffocating, the silence deafening. It was the kind of silence that screamed for answers—answers that she still didn’t have.She sat in front of her laptop, staring at the screen as Red’s interface blinked at her, its cheerful emoji face betraying the severity of the situation.“Find him, Red. Find Loyd,” she whispered, her voice hoarse from the strain of the past 24 hours.Her hands moved across the keys, the same commands over and over again. Every search, every trace led to a dead end. Loyd’s whereabouts were still a mystery. The police were still investigating, but they had no leads. No clues. The frustration gnawed at her like a beast trying to break free from its cage.Every second felt like an eternity. Every thought was a question. Where is my son?Her mind wandered to the last time she’d held him, kissed his forehead, t
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 150: Kidnapped
Aurora sat in the living room, her hands gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The room was filled with police officers, their radios buzzing, their voices low but urgent as they coordinated the search for Loyd.But it wasn’t fast enough.Nothing was fast enough.Her baby was missing.Her heart pounded erratically in her chest, her breathing uneven.Loyd.Where was he? Was he scared? Was he crying for her?The thought made her stomach churn.She forced herself to stay strong. She couldn’t afford to fall apart—not now.Taking a shaky breath, she pressed the call button.Lucian picked up on the first ring.“Aurora,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled—but she could hear the underlying panic.“It’s Loyd,” she choked out.“I know.”There was silence for a brief moment. Then—“I’ll handle it.”Aurora clenched her jaw. “We need to tell the police—”“No.” Lucian’s voice was firm, cutting her off.She frowned. “Lucian, they can help—”“They won’t,” he bit out. “They’l

Lucian clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he paced his office.His plan had failed.Aurora knew everything now.He had wanted to protect her—to handle this mess before she ever found out. But now, the fragile trust they had rebuilt was at risk of shattering.Lucian slammed his fist against his desk, his chest heaving.Damn it.He never wanted to invest in CRS Holdings. Never wanted to be involved with Don Ramon again. But the old man had forced his hand. Blackmail.If Lucian hadn’t complied, Don Ramon would have unleashed something far worse.And now?Now, he was losing Aurora.A bitter taste filled his mouth as he grabbed his suit jacket. He couldn’t let this continue.He had made a mistake, but he could still fix it.He was going to see Don Ramon.And this time, he was cutting ties for good.—Don Ramon sat comfortably in his leather chair, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His gray eyes gleamed with amusement as Lucian stormed into his office.“Well, well,” the older
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 148: Don Ramon's work
Aurora’s heart pounded as she watched Red process her request. The AI’s animated face flickered for a few seconds before its voice chimed through her AirPods.“Scanning for data… Please wait, Master.”Her grip on the iPad tightened.She didn’t know what she was expecting. Maybe she wanted Red to tell her that this was all a mistake—that Don Ramon was still locked away where he belonged. That someone was playing a sick joke on her.But she knew better.The locket in the black box had been real. And Don Ramon wouldn’t send something like that unless he wanted her to know he was free.Minutes passed in tense silence. Aurora sat frozen at her desk, her mind racing.She had spent years trying to rebuild her life after everything he had done. She had buried the past. She had fought through her pain, through her anger, and finally, she had found peace.But now?Now, he was back.Red’s voice pulled her from her spiraling thoughts.“Search complete! Displaying results now.”Aurora’s screen fli
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 147: The Old Locket
For days, Aurora had refused to speak to Lucian. She had seen his messages, the calls he left unanswered, but she ignored them all.It wasn’t that she had decided to cancel the wedding. No, she still wanted to marry him. But she needed time to think.The past still hurt.Because of Don Ramon, she lost her father. Because of him, their family had nearly lost everything.And worst of all, her mother had suffered the most. It had taken years for Carmela to even tolerate Lucian’s presence in their lives, and that was only because of her and Loyd.If Carmela found out that Lucian had kept Don Ramon’s release a secret?Aurora clenched her jaw. She would be devastated.She thought she had reached her limit. That nothing could make this worse.But then—a package arrived.A small black box, wrapped in a blood-red ribbon.At first, she thought it was a wedding gift. A well-wisher, perhaps. Or maybe even Lucian, trying to make amends for what he had done.But the moment she opened it, a wave of

Aurora clutched the glass of wine in her trembling hands, staring blankly at the city lights beyond Rebecca’s penthouse window. The night sky stretched endlessly before her, but all she could feel was the suffocating weight pressing against her chest.Tears streamed down her face, hot and relentless. She wiped them away furiously, but they kept falling.“I should’ve known,” she whispered, voice hoarse.Rebecca, sitting across from her on the couch, crossed her arms, her expression hard. “You’re damn right you should’ve.”Aurora flinched at the sharpness in her friend’s tone. Rebecca never sugarcoated anything, but tonight, she wasn’t just blunt—she was angry.“Do you realize what this means, Aurora?” Rebecca continued, leaning forward. “That man—Don Ramon Blackwood—he ruined your life. He manipulated Lucian. He almost destroyed everything. And now he’s just… out?” She scoffed, shaking her head. “And Lucian didn’t even tell you?”Aurora swallowed the lump in her throat. “He said he w
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 145: The Truth is out
Aurora stormed into Blackwood Enterprises, her heels clicking against the marble floors with purpose.The moment she stepped inside, the receptionist and employees turned to look at her. Some murmured in hushed tones, but she ignored them.She was furious.Lucian had been keeping something this important from her.Her hands clenched at her sides as she took the elevator up to the executive floor. The doors opened, and she stepped out, heading straight for Lucian’s office.“Ma’am—” Lucian’s secretary, Janine, started, but Aurora had already pushed the door open.Lucian was standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a phone pressed to his ear. At the sound of the door slamming shut, he turned, his blue eyes narrowing slightly when he saw her.“I’ll call you back,” he muttered, ending the call.Aurora stood there, arms crossed, anger simmering beneath the surface. “How long?”Lucian sighed, already knowing what she meant. “Aurora—”“How long have you known?” she demanded, her voice shak
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 144: The Interview
Aurora barely had a moment to breathe.Between wedding preparations and handling company affairs, her days had turned into a whirlwind. But for the first time, she didn’t feel pressured.This wedding was different.It wasn’t an obligation, a contract, or a forced responsibility. This time, it was hers. It was theirs.She had chosen this path with Lucian because she loved him, and every detail of the ceremony reflected that. From the floral arrangements to the venue selection, everything felt magical.But even as she juggled everything, there was still work to do. Today, she had an important media interview representing the company, ensuring investors and clients that the transition of leadership under her and Lucian remained stable.Aurora arrived at the studio dressed in a tailored beige suit, exuding confidence. She had done countless interviews before, so she thought she was prepared.She was wrong.The first half of the interview went smoothly. The questions were professional—abou
