The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 58: Confrontation
Aurora gripped the edges of the wooden table, her knuckles turning white. The words that had just left Nico’s mouth echoed in her ears, ringing louder than the gavel that had slammed down minutes ago.He lied.He stood there on the witness stand, looked her straight in the eyes, and lied.Aurora had prepared for everything—counterarguments, last-minute changes, even the possibility of Vanessa pulling strings behind the scenes. But she hadn’t expected this.She pushed past the reporters outside the courtroom, ignoring the flashing cameras and the journalists shouting her name. Her heart pounded, frustration and disbelief mixing into a volatile storm inside her chest.She needed to talk to him.She needed to know why."Nico!" she called out as she spotted him walking towards the exit. Police were dragging him to the car. But Nico didn’t stop. "Stop! Nico! Talk to me!" she demanded, hurrying after him.Finally, Nico halted. His shoulders tensed as he turned slightly, just enough to gla

Aurora sat on the couch, staring blankly at the half-empty bottle of whiskey on the coffee table. The weight of everything crashed down on her—losing the case, Nico’s betrayal, Vanessa’s smug face, and worst of all… Ethan was free.She wiped angrily at the tears rolling down her cheeks, hating how weak she felt.Lucian sat beside her, watching her carefully. His presence was steady, and grounding, but it wasn’t enough to stop the storm inside her."This is unfair," she muttered, her voice thick with frustration. "I did everything right, Lucian. I fought. I had the evidence. And yet, they still won."Lucian exhaled deeply, rubbing the back of his neck. "The fight isn’t over, Aurora."She let out a bitter laugh. "It feels like it is." She grabbed the whiskey bottle and poured another glass, downing it in one gulp. The burn in her throat didn’t hurt as much as the pain in her chest.Lucian frowned. "Maybe you should slow down.""Why?" she challenged, pouring herself another. "I lost, Lu

Aurora stared at her reflection in the mirror, her fingers gripping the edge of the bathroom sink. She had lost count of how many times she had told herself to forget what had happened between her and Lucian. But the memory refused to fade.Her first time.She had been in a relationship with Ethan for five years, yet she had never let him touch her that way. She had always told him to wait—wait until marriage, wait until she felt ready. And now, in the midst of all the chaos, she had given that part of herself to Lucian.Though, technically, we are already married…Still, the realization made her stomach twist. Not in regret. Not in anger. But in something else. Something she wasn’t ready to name.She sighed, splashing cold water on her face.There was no time to dwell on it. She had more pressing matters to deal with.Ethan was still out there.Vanessa had gone completely silent.And despite the manhunt, there had been no news, no leads. It was as if they had both disappeared into

Aurora exhaled sharply as she leaned back in her chair, her eyes scanning the endless pile of reports on her desk. She had been reading and analyzing documents since morning, and it was starting to drain her.“Gosh… this is exhausting,” she muttered under her breath.“Perhaps you should take a break, Master,” Red suggested through her earpiece.Aurora massaged her forehead. “Yeah, I think so.” She closed her eyes and rested her head against the chair, letting out a tired sigh. “Any updates on Ethan Calloway?”“Still nothing, Master. I’ve checked every CCTV feed in the city—even extended the search to the whole country. I also checked the airlines, but there’s no trace of him,” Red report

The soft glow of candlelight flickered between them, reflecting in Aurora’s wine glass as she swirled the deep red liquid.The view from their table was nothing short of breathtaking—the city of Paris stretched out below, lights shimmering like fallen stars. The Eiffel Tower’s grand structure surrounded them, casting an air of romance and intimacy.Aurora sighed, a small smile playing on her lips as she set her glass down. “I never thought I’d be here.”Lucian leaned back, his expression relaxed yet observant. “You make it sound like you don’t deserve a break.”She chuckled lightly. “Maybe I don’t.”Lucian shook his head, taking a sip of his drink. &ldquo

Paris was alive—lovers strolling hand in hand, the soft hum of conversation blending with the city's rhythm.The scent of fresh bread from nearby bakeries lingered in the air, mixing with the faint melody of a street musician playing along the Seine.Aurora walked beside Lucian, their steps slow and unhurried as they made their way toward the Pont des Arts.The bridge glowed under the streetlights, its metal railings adorned with thousands of locks left behind by couples from all over the world. Some were new, their gold sheen untouched by time, while others were weathered, the names on them faded but still present, still there.She tilted her head, watching Lucian wi

“Do you like this?”Lucian held up a bracelet, the beads glinting under the market lights. The vendor had told him it could be customized with a name if the buyer wanted.But Aurora didn’t answer.Frowning, he picked up another one—similar but slightly more intricate, also handmade.“How about this?” he asked again.Still, nothing.Lucian turned, expecting to see her beside him, but the space where she had been standing was empty.His stomach twisted.“Aurora?” He called her name, scanning the crowded street.

The hotel room was quiet, but Aurora’s mind was anything but.She sat at the edge of the bed, her hands gripping the sheets, her thoughts tangled and fraying at the edges.The dim glow from the bedside lamp cast long shadows against the walls, but all she could see was the alleyway, the men’s leering faces, and the way her heart had pounded with fear—until Lucian appeared.Until he fought for her.She had never seen him like that before.Cold. Deadly. Efficient.He had taken down three men as if it was nothing as if he had done it a thousand times before.And Ethan

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
