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 Lobby

Vanessa 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

  • The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge   Chapter 30: Dinner Date

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    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 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.

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.
