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 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

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

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

“What the fuck is wrong with you, Ethan?! Why did you do that?!” Vanessa hissed, her voice trembling with rage. She paced back and forth in the hotel suite, her heels clicking against the marble floor in sharp, angry taps.Lucian and Aurora had long left, leaving Ethan alone with Vanessa, who was waiting—no, demanding—an explanation.Ethan sat on the edge of the bed, hunched over, his fingers gripping his knees like a scolded child. His jaw clenched as he avoided Vanessa’s piercing glare.“Ethan! Answer me!” she snapped, her patience wearing thin.Ethan grunted, rubbing his face with both hands before sighing heavily. “It’s not my fault, okay?! She took advantage of me!”Vanessa narrowed her eyes. “What the hell are you talking about?”Ethan stood abruptly and grabbed her arms, forcing her to look at him. “Didn’t you notice how she looked at me the entire night? She was flirting with me, Vanessa. She was the one who seduced me.” His voice softened into something pitiful as he cupped h

Aurora remained in Lucian’s penthouse for the next few days, choosing silence over confrontation. She kept her phone off, refusing to entertain the outside world, especially the whispers and speculations that must have already begun. The trauma of what happened lingered in her body like an unwelcome guest, but she found solace in Lucian’s presence.Lucian didn’t ask too many questions. He didn’t push her to talk about what happened unless she wanted to. Instead, he stayed close, offering quiet support in the form of warm meals, reassuring touches, and the kind of patience Aurora never realized she needed.She had always been independent, always fought her own battles. But now, in the safety of his home, she allowed herself to lean on him—even just for a little while.And in those moments, something inside her shifted.“Hmm… I never thought you were a great cook too, huh?” Aurora teased, grinning as she twirled a forkful of creamy truffle pasta. The rich aroma filled the air, making he

Aurora grinned as she watched the chaos outside her car. Camera flashing. Journalists shouting questions. It felt suffocating just to see it.She had anticipated some backlash after Vanessa and Ethan’s ridiculous lawsuit, but this? This was overwhelming.Her chest tightened. The thought of stepping out, of having to push through the sea of microphones and intrusive eyes, sent a wave of anxiety through her.She couldn’t do it.Not now.Beth sat beside her, scrolling through her tablet with furrowed brows.“It’s all over the internet, Ms. Lancaster. Articles, social media posts, even video clips. They’re twisting the story.”

Ethan leaned back in his chair, a smug grin playing on his lips as he swirled the whiskey in his glass. The dim lighting in his office cast long shadows on the walls, adding to the air of quiet triumph that hung between him and Vanessa.Across from him, Vanessa sat with one leg crossed over the other, practically glowing with excitement. She tapped her manicured nails against her phone screen, scrolling through news articles that praised their latest victory.Ethan smirked. “What’s the status?”“We did it,” she said, her voice laced with satisfaction. “LIT is finally ours.”Ethan chuckled, taking a slow sip of his drink. “And Aurora didn’t even put up a fight.”Vanessa smirked, setting her phone down. “How could she? She’s been too busy hiding from the scandal. She didn’t even see this coming.”Ethan exhaled in amusement, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Lancaster Tech Innovations was finally under his control. Aurora had been naive, believing that the merger had been for the comp

The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 106: First meeting
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
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 101: Preparation
“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
