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

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 felt her world shatter as she watched them interact so affectionately as if no one else existed around them.It was a party that Aurora prepared for Ethan for successfully to get a partnership deal with the Drey Corporation, a big company on their town.

    “Don’t you think this is too soon, Francisco? Your daughter just came back home. Why are we inviting the Blackwoods already?” Carmela asked, her tone laced with worry. They were standing outside the mansion, waiting for their guests to arrive.Francisco waved her concerns away dismissively. “I won’t be deceived again, Carmela. Besides, you know how important this is for us.”“But—”Carmela sighed, turning her attention to Aurora. She gently caressed her daughter’s arm, feeling a deep sense of pity. She knew Aurora had always wanted to be free.“It’s okay, Mom. I’m fine,” Aurora said softly, forcing a smile. But her eyes betrayed her true feelings, revealing the storm brewing within.A few moments later, three cars pulled up in front of the mansion. Aurora held her breath as several men stepped out. Then, from the second car, a man exited the passenger seat. He was different from the others—his commanding presence and the way he carried himself exuded authority. He wore a perfectly tai

    Aurora stared out the window, her fingers lightly gripping a wine glass. She sat in the living room, her mind racing with thoughts about her next move. Dinner had concluded, and Francisco and Lucian were still engrossed in a private discussion.Carmela had checked on her repeatedly, concerned for her well-being, but Aurora dismissed her worries with a practiced smile. She couldn’t falter now. Her father wanted her to prove her loyalty, and she needed the Lancaster wealth to accomplish her goal. Ethan had discarded her like trash, despite everything she sacrificed for him. Now that she was back, she would make him regret it.“I see you’re still awake.”Aurora flinched at the voice and turned to find Lucian approaching her. She cleared her throat and redirected her gaze to the window.“I see you’re still here,” she replied coolly.Lucian smirked, stepping closer. “I’ve been watching you, Ms. Lancaster. You seem… troubled.”Aurora raised an eyebrow but kept her eyes fixed on the glass in

Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open.Inside, Francisco sat at his desk, immersed in papers. He glanced up when he heard her enter.“Aurora. What is it? Shouldn’t you be with your mother, preparing for your wedding?” he asked, his tone neutral but curious.“I just came back from the meeting with the wedding planner.

    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

    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

    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

    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 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.
