The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 25: What happened?
“Ethan? Ethan!”Vanessa banged on the door of Ethan’s apartment, her frustration boiling over. She had been trying to reach him for days, but he ignored all her calls and messages. Ever since they learned about Aurora’s true identity, Ethan had completely shut her out.“Ethan! Fuck!”She kicked the door in frustration, but there was no response. Growling under her breath, she tried entering the passcode, only to realize—she didn’t know it.Her jaw clenched. Ethan wasn’t in his penthouse, the one where he used to take her. That much she had already checked. Luckily, his secretary had let it slip that Ethan also owned a condo unit where he sometimes stayed.A condo she hadn’t even known about.That alone made her blood boil.“You are really testing my patience, Ethan! Why are you doing this?!” she shouted, slamming her fist against the door once more.Before she could start yelling again, a man approached her, his expression disapproving.“Excuse me, miss? You can’t do that.”Vanessa whi

"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 e

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

Ethan’s grip on Vanessa’s wrist was firm but not forceful as he pulled her through the automatic doors of the building. The moment they stepped into the parking lot, she yanked her arm free, spinning around to face him."What the hell, Ethan?" she seethed, rubbing her wrist as if he had burned her. "Are you seriously dragging me out like some—some crazed woman?!"Ethan exhaled sharply, running a frustrated hand through his hair. His patience had been stretched thin, and the spectacle Vanessa had just put on only made things worse."You are acting like a crazed woman," he shot back. "Storming into Aurora’s company, screaming accusations in front of her employees? Do you even realize how humiliating that was?"Vanessa’s eyes flashed with anger. "Humiliating? You think I care about humiliation when my fiancé is sneaking around with his ex?" She took a step closer, jabbing a finger against his chest. "Tell me, Ethan. What were you really doing here? Why do you need her so badly?"Ethan’s

Aurora sat across from Lucian at their usual restaurant, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of her wine glass. The place was intimate, dimly lit with soft jazz playing in the background, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of stress that had consumed her entire day. This weekly dinner with Lucian was supposed to be a break from it all—a moment where she could breathe, let go, and not have to think about boardroom battles, hostile takeovers, or the ghosts of her past clawing their way back into her present.But tonight, it wasn’t working.Lucian leaned back in his chair, swirling the whiskey in his glass as he watched her with an amused yet knowing expression. "You’ve been silent for too long," he mused. "That’s never a good sign."Aurora exhaled, setting her glass down. "I’m just tired."He raised an eyebrow. "Tired or pissed off?"Aurora smirked, but there was no humor in it. "Both."Lucian leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. "Tell me."She hesitated for a moment, deba

Lucian sat in his expansive office, the soft hum of classical music playing in the background. The city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but his attention was locked on the folder in front of him.The Calloway proposal.A smirk tugged at his lips as he flipped through the neatly compiled documents. Ethan Calloway—desperate and grasping. It was almost amusing. The once-proud businessman, now scrambling to save his crumbling empire, reaching out to anyone who could pull him from the abyss.Lucian leaned back in his chair, tapping a finger against his temple. It had been weeks since Ethan sent this proposal to him. And now, he had approached Aurora.Interesting.He picked up his phone, about to call her, when a soft knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. Moments later, his butler, Alfred, stepped inside.“Alfred. Is there a problem?”“Your father is asking for you, sir.”Lucian sighed, setting the folder down. “I’ll go in a moment.”Alfred gave a small bow and

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.

Aurora spent the morning distracting herself with plans for her son.It was easier that way — easier than thinking about Lucian’s words, his touch, the way he had looked at her like she was the only thing that mattered in the world.She pushed all of that aside and focused on something far more important: Loyd’s future.She had been putting it off for a while, unsure if she was ready for her little boy to take this next step. But after everything that had happened, she knew she needed to give him as much normalcy as possible — something stable and safe.And that’s why she found herself filling out forms and speaking with teachers at one of the most prestigious kindergartens in the city.
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 105: The Aftermath
Aurora cried for the entire ride home.She sat in the backseat of her car, her face buried in her hands, as the weight of everything that had happened crashed down on her. She thought she’d been strong enough to face Lucian — thought she’d finally built the walls high enough to keep him out. But she was wrong.That kiss…It shattered everything.It shook her to her core, stirring up emotions she had spent years trying to bury. Anger, pain, longing — it all came flooding back, and no matter how hard she tried to push it down, it overwhelmed her. And worst of all… she hadn’t hated it.That scared her the most.By the time she reached the m
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 104: She's still mine
Aurora hurried toward the parking lot, her sobs breaking through the night’s stillness. She couldn’t believe her own reaction to what Lucian had done.He kissed her.And what made her even more furious — with herself — was that she had liked it.Something inside her had ignited the moment his arms wrapped around her, the second their lips met. It was as if she’d been transported back to a time when she hadn’t yet known about his betrayal. Back when she’d believed in him. Back when she’d loved him.God, she was so stupid.Why was she still letting him affect her like this? After everything he had done, after all the pain, how could he still have this kind of hold on her?
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 103: Let's Talk
After the dance with Martin, Aurora stayed at their table, though she could no longer sit still. Every time she glanced around the room, her eyes would inevitably meet Lucian’s.The intensity of his gaze pinned her in place, and regret bloomed inside her — regret that she had come to this event at all."Still okay?" Martin’s gentle voice broke into her thoughts.Aurora turned to him, forcing a smile. "Yes. Don’t mind me."But Martin wasn’t convinced. He sighed quietly, his sharp eyes having long noticed the way Lucian’s attention never strayed from them."It’s him, isn’t it? Your ex-husband?"Aurora froze, the words like a cold
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 102: The Dance
Martin Grey had been a constant source of support for Aurora while she was in the US. The moment he found out she was single, he wasted no time clarifying his intentions. But Aurora wasn’t ready — not yet. Her heart was still healing, and she told him as much, asking if they could just stay friends for now.But Carmela had other ideas. She kept pushing Aurora toward her godson, insisting that Martin was perfect for her.And maybe he was. But Aurora’s heart wasn’t so sure.Martin arrived right on time, his sleek black car gliding smoothly to a stop in front of Aurora’s mansion. When she stepped outside, his eyes widened with admiration, and for a moment, he looked completely stunned.“Wow,” Martin breathed, his gaze sweeping over

“Hey, babe! I’m so sorry I couldn’t join you two. I’ll make it up to you next time, I promise!” Rebecca’s voice came through the phone, warm and familiar.Aurora smiled. “It’s okay, Rebecca. You can visit him anytime.”Rebecca had called that afternoon to apologize for missing their day at Star City. Now, Aurora was getting ready for the party she was attending that night.Fresh out of the shower, Aurora sat in front of her vanity while the hair and makeup team she’d hired worked on her. She held her phone to her ear, listening to Rebecca rant as the stylist carefully curled her hair and applied soft, natural makeup.“That’s what’s so annoying!” Rebecca grumbled. “My dad forced me t
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 100: Invited
Aurora stood at the edge of the playground, the sound of children’s laughter filling the air.She was here to enjoy with her son and mother, and yet she still can’t forget the events of last night.She had seen Lucian again. And base of his reaction, he was as shock as her. She barely slept because of it.Aurora watched her son, Loyd, as he ran with the other children, his face lit up with pure joy. His small legs pumped furiously as he chased after a red ball, his laughter ringing out every time he got close but missed.Seeing him happy should have made her feel the same — and it did, to some extent. But there was still that heavy ache in her chest, one she couldn’t quite shake.&ldq
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 99: Pain
Back at his penthouse, Lucian stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes fixed on the city lights that stretched far below him.No matter how much time passed, the ache never lessened. Not when it came to her.Aurora.He still couldn’t believe he had seen her again — and held her, even if only by accident.The warmth of her body pressed against his had been so familiar, so painfully familiar, that it had nearly shattered his resolve right there on that cold street. It had taken every ounce of strength not to beg her right then and there to give him one more chance.But the way she had looked at him…Cold. Distant.
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 98: Three Years Ago
Three years agoLucian walked out of the correctional facility, the heavy gates clanging shut behind him. Three years. He had spent three long years paying for his mistakes — not just to the law but to Aurora as well.He exhaled slowly, stepping fully outside. The first thing he saw was Alfred standing by a car, offering a reserved smile.Carrying a small bag with just a few clothes, Lucian approached him.“I didn’t expect you to be here,” Lucian said quietly.“I’m here to fetch you, sir,” Alfred replied with his usual calm demeanor, opening the car door for him.Lucian sighed and slid into the passenger sea
