The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 21: Not for sale
Mario’s eyes widened as he shot up from his seat, his expression caught between shock and forced enthusiasm.“Aurora! What a surprise! I had no idea you were back!” he said, feigning delight.Aurora smirked, tilting her head slightly. “Didn’t you? I’m pretty sure we sent you an invitation to my wedding. You never showed up.” She glanced around the room. “I can see why—you’ve been busy.”Mario chuckled nervously. “Ah, Aurora, this is nothing, really. Just a simple business discussion. Should we talk outside?” He took a step toward her as if trying to steer her away.Aurora raised an eyebrow. “About what? About selling the company?”Mario stiffened. His nervous chuckle faltered. “O-Oh… Haha! No! Of course not!” He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. “Let’s talk outside,” he whispered, his tone more urgent, his face now serious.Aurora was amused by how desperate Mario was to stop her from speaking in front of the guests. Ignoring him, she turned her attention to the three individual

Aurora sat in her new office, her fingers drumming against the polished mahogany desk as she planned her next move. The events from earlier still lingered in her mind—her uncle’s betrayal, the attempted sale of the company, and the unexpected mention of Lucian’s interest in Lancaster Tech Innovations. Too much was at stake for her to waste any time. She needed to understand exactly what was happening within the company.She took out her tablet from her bag and put on her earpiece. The screen flickered to life, and soon, Red’s animated emoji face appeared.“Hello, Master! Do you need something?” Red’s lively voice chimed through the speakers.Aurora nodded. “Yes. Can you connect to LTI’s system?”“Of course, Master! It’s easy! Do you want me to proceed?”“Go on.”The screen shifted, displaying a series of flashing codes and security bypasses. Within moments, Red had successfully hacked into LTI’s system, granting Aurora access to everything—internal files, financial reports, and even t

Aurora stood before the vast glass window of her new office, the city lights below twinkling like stars captured in the night sky. The weight of the past few weeks settled on her shoulders—not with exhaustion, but with a deep, undeniable satisfaction. Lancaster Tech Innovations was back. And it was hers.She had spent countless hours undoing the damage her uncle had inflicted. One by one, she reinstated the talented employees he had unjustly fired—those who had once made LTI the powerhouse it used to be. She personally oversaw the restructuring of departments, making sure that no trace of Mario’s corruption remained. The siphoned funds? Retrieved. The reputation? Slowly, but steadily, being rebuilt.Now, Lancaster Tech Innovations was no longer a crumbling empire. It was standing tall again, its doors wide open to the public. And tonight, the world would witness its rebirth.A grand reopening gala had been arranged in her honor, marking her official return as CEO. It wasn’t just a par

The party buzzed with energy around Aurora, yet she felt disconnected from it all. The endless conversations, the clinking of glasses, the polite smiles—none of it truly reached her.For over an hour, she had stood among the city’s elite, shaking hands with businessmen and women who had once dismissed her. Now, they were eager to be in her presence, their words filled with flattery and shallow admiration. Yet to her, their voices were nothing more than background noise.Her feet ached, her legs burned from the constant standing, but the real exhaustion ran deeper. It was the weight of the charade, the ceaseless political games, the carefully measured words and masked intentions.She needed a moment. Just a brief pause.Scanning the grand hall, bathed in golden light from the chandeliers above, her gaze landed on her table—a quiet corner, untouched by the main commotion. Without hesitation, she made her way toward it, her stiletto heels clicking softly against the marble floor.Finally

"Ms. Lancaster, Mr. Calloway is at the lobby again. Demanding to see you."Aurora looked up from her documents, her gaze landing on Beth, her human secretary. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she placed the papers down and leaned back in her chair.Ethan had been relentless. Over the past few weeks, he had repeatedly tried to get close to her, each time under the pretense of business. But Aurora knew better. He wanted more than just a business partnership. He wanted control."What does he need this time?" she asked lazily, twirling a pen between her fingers.Beth sighed, clearly unimpressed. "He wants to discuss a project with you. Says it’s urgent."Aurora rolled her eyes. "Of course, it’s urgent." She took a moment before making her decision. "Fine. Send him to the meeting room. I’ll come when I’m done here."Beth nodded. "Right away, Ma’am."Aurora watched as her secretary left the office, then let out a small chuckle. Ethan was persistent—desperate, even. It was almost

Aurora pushed open the glass door of the meeting room, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Ethan stood up immediately, a practiced smile spreading across his face."Aurora! Thank you for—""I'm giving you five minutes, Mr. Calloway. What do you need?" Aurora cut in, her voice cold and impassive. She strode to the head of the table and took a seat, her posture commanding.Ethan cleared his throat, caught off guard by her abruptness. He wasn't used to this side of her. He settled into the chair beside her, attempting to mask his irritation."How have you been? I've been calling, but—"Aurora raised a hand, silencing him. "If you're here to waste my time with pleasantries, you can leave now. Consider yourself lucky I’m giving you five minutes at all."Ethan’s jaw clenched, his grip tightening on the folder in his hands. The shift in her demeanor was unnerving. The woman who once tiptoed around him, soft-spoken and eager to please, was gone. In her place sat someone he barely r

Beth barely had time to knock before pushing open the office door, her face tight with urgency."Ms. Lancaster, there's an issue at the lobby."Aurora didn’t even glance up from the tablet she was reading. "What is it this time?"Beth swallowed, choosing her words carefully. "It’s Ms. Steele. She’s making a scene, demanding to see you. She insists Mr. Calloway is here, but the receptionist has told her otherwise. She won’t listen."Aurora exhaled slowly, placing the tablet down with a quiet tap. "Of course, she won’t. Where is Mr. Calloway now?""He left moments ago."Aurora stood, smoothing out the front of her blazer as she strode toward the door. "Let’s get this over with."At the LobbyVanessa was at the center of the commotion, her voice sharp as she leaned over the receptionist’s desk."I know he’s here!" she snapped, her perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently against the counter. "Don’t you dare lie to me. Ethan wouldn’t come here without a reason, and I demand to know w

Aurora groaned in pain. Every inch of her body ached as if she had been crushed beneath a speeding train. She tried to move her limbs, but they refused to obey.“You’re mine now, Aurora.”A deep, familiar voice cut through the fog in her mind.Her brows furrowed. Who…?She forced her heavy eyelids open, but her vision remained blurry. Panic stirred inside her as she tried to sit up, but her body was sluggish, unresponsive. She felt trapped in a haze.‘Where am I? What’s happening?’She struggled, her fingers twitching weakly until she managed to lift her arms. She placed a trembling
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 39: Not so okay
Aurora remained poised, her sharp eyes watching everything from behind the rim of her champagne glass. The celebration was extravagant, but beneath the glitz and glamour, she saw the truth—Ethan and Vanessa were basking in their delusions of control. Their arrogance was suffocating, almost laughable.Let them think they’ve won.She took a slow sip, letting the bubbles linger before swallowing. Across the room, Lucian was engaged in conversation with a group of businessmen, his presence commanding as always. She had chosen to stay at their table, alone for the most part, though some guests approached her, exchanging pleasantries.Then, just as she turned to excuse herself from the idle chatter, Ethan appeared."Enjoying the party?" he asked, his smirk
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 38: Grand Party
The grand ballroom of the Alaric Hotel was bathed in golden light, the chandeliers casting a soft, luxurious glow over the guests dressed in their finest. The music thrummed in the background, the clinking of champagne glasses and the hum of laughter filling the space.It was extravagant. Too extravagant.Aurora knew excess when she saw it, and tonight’s celebration reeked of recklessness.A towering ice sculpture of the Calloway and Lancaster logos intertwined stood in the center of the hall, an ostentatious display of what was supposed to be the "glorious union" of their companies. The finest wines, imported delicacies, and endless entertainment had been arranged, all at a cost that was bleeding LIT’s funds dry.Ethan and Vanessa weren’t just celebrating—they were flaunting their victory.Aurora stepped into the ballroom, the fabric of her midnight-blue gown flowing around her as Lucian walked beside her. He was dressed sharply in an all-black suit, his presence commanding as alwa
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 37: Contract Signing 2
Aurora sat across from Ethan in the sleek conference room, her face impassive as the final contract was laid before them. The dim glow of the city skyline seeped through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the polished table.This was it.The final step.She reached for the pen, her fingers steady as she signed her name in precise, fluid strokes. Ethan followed suit, his smirk widening as he set the pen down with a flourish.Done.Lancaster Tech Innovations and Calloway Enterprises were now merged in partnership.And Ethan thought he had won.She could see it in his eyes, in the way he leaned back in his chair with that self-assured arrogance, his fingers drumming against the armrest as if he had already claimed victory.Aurora simply folded her hands in her lap, her expression unreadable.“So, this is the beginning of everything. How do you feel, Mr. Calloway?” Aurora asked, smirking. “Well, you can say that I’m very excited about this partnership. I assure you
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 36: Contract signing
Ethan leaned back in the leather chair, a slow smirk playing on his lips as he tapped the end of his pen against the freshly signed contract. The golden emblem of Blackwood Enterprises gleamed under the dim office lighting, its weight pressing against the thick stack of documents before him.Done.After weeks of negotiations, endless meetings, and carefully crafted maneuvers, he had finally sealed the deal. A lucrative partnership with Lucian Blackwood.Alfred, Lucian’s butler and trusted confidant, stood across from him, his expression composed as always. The man was unreadable—too well-trained, too accustomed to the world of high society and business dealings.“Mr. Calloway,” Alfred said smoothly, collecting the documents with precision, “Blackwood Enterprises looks forward to this partnership.”Ethan chuckled, stretching his arms behind his head. “I’m sure Lucian does. He wouldn’t have let you handle this if he didn’t.”Alfred remained unfazed. “Mr. Blackwood trusts that this col
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 35: His help
Aurora sat stiffly in the back seat, her arms crossed over her chest, fingers gripping the fabric of her dress. The weight of her discovery pressed heavily against her, and no matter how much she tried to rationalize it, the unease refused to leave her.Lucian had secrets. Big ones. And now, she had to know the truth.When the car rolled to a smooth stop in front of the grand estate, Aurora hesitated for a moment before stepping out. The imposing structure loomed over her, just as cold and unyielding as the man she had come to see.She took a breath, squared her shoulders, and walked inside.The butler greeted her with a nod, but she barely acknowledged him as she made her way toward the study, where she knew her father would be. The large oak doors were slightly ajar, and she could hear the faint clinking of glass from within.She didn’t bother knocking.Pushing the door open, she stepped inside.Her father, Francisco Lancaster, sat behind his heavy desk, pouring himself a glass of w
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 34: Who are you?
Aurora sat in the grand study of the estate, the soft glow of the desk lamp casting elongated shadows against the towering mahogany bookshelves. The dim lighting did little to warm the chill creeping through her veins.Lucian isn’t who you think he is.Ethan’s words had been a mere whisper, but they echoed through her mind like a relentless storm. She had dismissed him, convinced herself that he was only trying to manipulate her, to twist the truth into something that would serve his own agenda.And yet…The doubt lingered.She hated that it did.Aurora tapped her nails against the polished surface of the desk, her other hand hovering over the keyboard. Her laptop screen glowed in the dim room, illuminating Lucian’s file. She had gone through it before—several times, in fact. Everything appeared in order. His name. His birth records. His status as an orphan.But tonight, she needed more.She needed certainty.Taking a deep breath, she bypassed the general records and accessed the esta
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 33: A Date?
Aurora sat at a corner table in the dimly lit restaurant, her fingers tracing the rim of her wine glass as she waited.The air was thick with the scent of seared steak and expensive perfume, a quiet hum of conversation filling the space around her. The restaurant was exclusive, and intimate—exactly the kind of place Ethan Calloway would choose.She had expected a business meeting. That was what he had said when he reached out. A discussion about their companies. About the merger.But the moment she arrived, she knew something was off.The low candlelight, the private seating, the way the staff greeted her like she was someone special—someone they had been expecting.This wasn’t a business dinner.
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 32: Accept it
Aurora sat in her office, the dim glow of her desk lamp casting long shadows across the room. The air was thick with silence, save for the occasional ticking of the clock on the wall.On her laptop screen, Ethan Calloway’s business proposal lay open—sent to her by Lucian.She read through it carefully, scanning each page with a sharp, critical eye. Before approaching her, Ethan had first sought Lucian’s investment. Desperately so.The numbers didn’t lie—Calloway Enterprises was crumbling. Its finances were a tangled mess of failing ventures and dwindling reserves. If Lucian agreed to this deal, he wouldn’t just be investing in Ethan’s company. He’d be saving him.Aurora let out a humorless chuckle.
