2025-02-24 01:00:52Aurora woke to the soft murmur of voices and the sterile scent of antiseptic. Her eyelids felt heavy, the light filtering through them warm but too bright. Slowly, she blinked her eyes open, squinting against the glare. The room around her came into focus — pale walls, the steady beeping of a heart monitor, and the cool air brushing against her skin.
A hospital.
Panic surged in her chest as memories rushed back — the dizziness, the ground rushing up to meet her, and then… nothing.
“Ms. Aurora?”
The gentle voice pulled her back, and she turned her head to see Paula sitting at her bedside, her eyes red and puffy. Behind her stood Lucing and June, their worry etched into every line of their faces.

The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 89: The Court Order
Aurora stood at the courthouse steps, the sun beating down on her face, but she barely felt its warmth. The weight of everything she’d been carrying for weeks—no, for years—pressed down on her shoulders, but there was a new sense of determination in her stance. She wasn’t just fighting for herself anymore. She was fighting for her future—their future.Joseph stood at her side, his jaw set and his eyes hard. Their lawyer, Ms. Reyes, adjusted the stack of documents in her arms, the sound of rustling papers filling the tense air."Are you ready for this?" Joseph asked, his voice low.Aurora took a deep breath. "I’ve never been more ready."Together, the

The courthouse was packed — reporters, spectators, and an air so thick with tension it felt like it might suffocate her.Aurora sat at the plaintiff’s table, her back straight, her face calm, but inside, her heart was a storm. The weight of everything rested on this moment — on the truth finally coming to light.Joseph sat beside her, his presence steady and reassuring.Across from them sat Don Ramon Blackwood, his face a mask of cold fury. His lawyers whispered to him in hushed, frantic tones, but Don Ramon didn’t even flinch. He was a man who believed himself untouchable — a man who had built his empire on lies and thought it would never come crashing down.But today, the reckoning began.

Aurora took a deep breath as she stared out from her terrace. If she hadn’t known she was pregnant, she’d definitely be holding a glass of wine right now. But instead, she settled for orange juice, her mind replaying everything that had happened that morning.She won.She’d taken back everything Don Ramon had tried to steal from her. The Lancaster Corporation was finally hers again. And yet… she still didn’t feel happy.Something inside her whispered that something was missing.Aurora placed a gentle hand on her stomach. It was still small, but she could already feel the occasional flutter — soft, steady reminders of the life growing inside her.She sighed again, the weight of it heavy.“I’m sorry, baby,” she whispered. “I guess you won’t ever get to meet your dad.”Even though Lucian had testified against his father, he hadn’t escaped punishment. Like Don Ramon, he was found guilty — though his sentence was lighter. Three years in prison. It was nothing compared to Don Ramon’s twenty

Five Years Later“Be careful, Loyd Astrid!” Aurora called out as they walked through the airport lobby.“Don’t worry, darling! I’ll handle him!” Carmela replied with a laugh.Aurora could only smile as she watched her mother chase after Loyd — her lively, four-year-old son — who was running ahead with boundless energy.Taking a deep breath, Aurora continued pushing their luggage stroller forward, her eyes following the two fondly.It had been five years since she left Evermoore and decided to settle in America. What was supposed to be just a short vacation while waiting to give birth turned into years of staying, mostly because of her mother’s persistence. Carmela had insisted they stay until Loyd was a little older, and Aurora hadn’t been able to refuse.Despite being far from Evermoore, Aurora had still managed to handle the company. Joseph kept her updated with regular reports, and her monitoring system ensured she always knew what was happening.Things hadn’t been difficult for Au

The moment they arrived at the mansion, Loyd couldn’t sit still — a little ball of energy, running around like a wind-up toy. Thankfully, there were plenty of staff around to keep an eye on him.As expected, the first thing he asked for was food, and Carmela immediately took care of him. Aurora wanted to stop her mother and insist she take a break, but Carmela wouldn’t hear of it. Her love for Loyd was overwhelming — and as a result, the little boy was getting spoiled rotten.Letting them be, Aurora decided to start unpacking their things after finishing her meal. She’d managed to get a decent amount of rest on the plane, so at least she wasn’t too tired.Once everything was sorted, they finally put Loyd down for a nap. Of course, even then, the little boy chose to sleep next to h

Aurora woke up early the next morning. The soft light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a golden hue over the room. Even now, it still felt strange being back in Evermore. She had been gone far too long.Sighing, she sat up and stretched, brushing her hair back from her face. Today was the day she would finally face everything she had left behind. She was going to the company — her company — to take care of business herself. No more hiding.After a warm shower, she dressed in a simple, casual outfit and stepped out of her room. Before leaving for the office, she decided to check on her mother and Loyd. From down the hallway, she could already hear the sound of her son’s delighted laughter echoing from her mother’s room.A soft smile tugged at her lips. She knocked lightly before

After finishing her work, Aurora hurried out of the company. Rebecca had been calling her nonstop, wanting to meet up. Aurora had already suggested that Rebecca just head straight to their house to see her godson, but Rebecca had some errands to run first.She asked her driver to drop her off at the restaurant owned by the Dawsons, which Rebecca now managed. Once there, she sent the driver home, knowing full well she had no idea when her best friend would let her leave.It had been far too long since she’d last seen Rebecca. She had made it to Loyd’s christening and his first birthday in America, but after that, their conversations had been limited to video calls. Rebecca had gotten so busy managing their family’s business.“Yes, Mom. Sorry about this, okay? You know how Rebecca is,” Au

The restroom felt miles away. Aurora’s knees shook as she walked down the narrow hallway toward it.She had seen Lucian. Of all the times, it had to be now. And what hurt even more was that he seemed to be on a date.When Aurora entered the restroom, she quickly checked the stalls to make sure she was alone. Once she was certain, she locked the door behind her.Her hands trembled as she walked to the sink and splashed cold water on her face.There was no way she was mistaken. It was him. Lucian. She could never forget his face, no matter how many years had passed since they last saw each other.Tears welled up in her eyes. Was this why he never looked for her after their divorce was finalized? Because he already had someone else?Aurora covered her mouth, trying to steady her breathing. Wasn’t this what she wanted? For Lucian to stay away, to forget her? Then why did it hurt so much? Why did it feel worse than when Ethan betrayed her?The pain was sharper. Deeper. More devastating.It

The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 152: The Brother
Aurora barely had time to think as she rushed through the grand hallway, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Every second felt like an eternity, and every breath was filled with a sense of urgency. Loyd was out there, somewhere, trapped in the hands of a man she had thought was long dead.Lester Aldric.The name sent a shiver down her spine. She had spent the last few hours wrestling with the shock of it, but there was no time for hesitation now. If what Red had found was true, then Lester was alive, and he was the one behind her son’s kidnapping.She clutched her phone tightly in her hand as she stormed toward the front door. She was going to end this.But just as she reached the entrance, the heavy doors swung open, and Lucian stepped inside.Aurora’s breath hitched.Lucian was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tie loosened slightly as though he had rushed here. His golden eyes immediately locked onto her, dark with intensity. The moment he saw her standing there,
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 151: The Kidnapper
Aurora hadn’t slept for hours. The weight of the situation had turned her mind into a whirlwind of thoughts, none of them bringing any comfort. The room felt suffocating, the silence deafening. It was the kind of silence that screamed for answers—answers that she still didn’t have.She sat in front of her laptop, staring at the screen as Red’s interface blinked at her, its cheerful emoji face betraying the severity of the situation.“Find him, Red. Find Loyd,” she whispered, her voice hoarse from the strain of the past 24 hours.Her hands moved across the keys, the same commands over and over again. Every search, every trace led to a dead end. Loyd’s whereabouts were still a mystery. The police were still investigating, but they had no leads. No clues. The frustration gnawed at her like a beast trying to break free from its cage.Every second felt like an eternity. Every thought was a question. Where is my son?Her mind wandered to the last time she’d held him, kissed his forehead, t
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 150: Kidnapped
Aurora sat in the living room, her hands gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The room was filled with police officers, their radios buzzing, their voices low but urgent as they coordinated the search for Loyd.But it wasn’t fast enough.Nothing was fast enough.Her baby was missing.Her heart pounded erratically in her chest, her breathing uneven.Loyd.Where was he? Was he scared? Was he crying for her?The thought made her stomach churn.She forced herself to stay strong. She couldn’t afford to fall apart—not now.Taking a shaky breath, she pressed the call button.Lucian picked up on the first ring.“Aurora,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled—but she could hear the underlying panic.“It’s Loyd,” she choked out.“I know.”There was silence for a brief moment. Then—“I’ll handle it.”Aurora clenched her jaw. “We need to tell the police—”“No.” Lucian’s voice was firm, cutting her off.She frowned. “Lucian, they can help—”“They won’t,” he bit out. “They’l

Lucian clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he paced his office.His plan had failed.Aurora knew everything now.He had wanted to protect her—to handle this mess before she ever found out. But now, the fragile trust they had rebuilt was at risk of shattering.Lucian slammed his fist against his desk, his chest heaving.Damn it.He never wanted to invest in CRS Holdings. Never wanted to be involved with Don Ramon again. But the old man had forced his hand. Blackmail.If Lucian hadn’t complied, Don Ramon would have unleashed something far worse.And now?Now, he was losing Aurora.A bitter taste filled his mouth as he grabbed his suit jacket. He couldn’t let this continue.He had made a mistake, but he could still fix it.He was going to see Don Ramon.And this time, he was cutting ties for good.—Don Ramon sat comfortably in his leather chair, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His gray eyes gleamed with amusement as Lucian stormed into his office.“Well, well,” the older

Aurora’s heart pounded as she watched Red process her request. The AI’s animated face flickered for a few seconds before its voice chimed through her AirPods.“Scanning for data… Please wait, Master.”Her grip on the iPad tightened.She didn’t know what she was expecting. Maybe she wanted Red to tell her that this was all a mistake—that Don Ramon was still locked away where he belonged. That someone was playing a sick joke on her.But she knew better.The locket in the black box had been real. And Don Ramon wouldn’t send something like that unless he wanted her to know he was free.Minutes passed in tense silence. Aurora sat frozen at her desk, her mind racing.She had spent years trying to rebuild her life after everything he had done. She had buried the past. She had fought through her pain, through her anger, and finally, she had found peace.But now?Now, he was back.Red’s voice pulled her from her spiraling thoughts.“Search complete! Displaying results now.”Aurora’s screen fli
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 147: The Old Locket
For days, Aurora had refused to speak to Lucian. She had seen his messages, the calls he left unanswered, but she ignored them all.It wasn’t that she had decided to cancel the wedding. No, she still wanted to marry him. But she needed time to think.The past still hurt.Because of Don Ramon, she lost her father. Because of him, their family had nearly lost everything.And worst of all, her mother had suffered the most. It had taken years for Carmela to even tolerate Lucian’s presence in their lives, and that was only because of her and Loyd.If Carmela found out that Lucian had kept Don Ramon’s release a secret?Aurora clenched her jaw. She would be devastated.She thought she had reached her limit. That nothing could make this worse.But then—a package arrived.A small black box, wrapped in a blood-red ribbon.At first, she thought it was a wedding gift. A well-wisher, perhaps. Or maybe even Lucian, trying to make amends for what he had done.But the moment she opened it, a wave of

Aurora clutched the glass of wine in her trembling hands, staring blankly at the city lights beyond Rebecca’s penthouse window. The night sky stretched endlessly before her, but all she could feel was the suffocating weight pressing against her chest.Tears streamed down her face, hot and relentless. She wiped them away furiously, but they kept falling.“I should’ve known,” she whispered, voice hoarse.Rebecca, sitting across from her on the couch, crossed her arms, her expression hard. “You’re damn right you should’ve.”Aurora flinched at the sharpness in her friend’s tone. Rebecca never sugarcoated anything, but tonight, she wasn’t just blunt—she was angry.“Do you realize what this means, Aurora?” Rebecca continued, leaning forward. “That man—Don Ramon Blackwood—he ruined your life. He manipulated Lucian. He almost destroyed everything. And now he’s just… out?” She scoffed, shaking her head. “And Lucian didn’t even tell you?”Aurora swallowed the lump in her throat. “He said he w

Aurora stormed into Blackwood Enterprises, her heels clicking against the marble floors with purpose.The moment she stepped inside, the receptionist and employees turned to look at her. Some murmured in hushed tones, but she ignored them.She was furious.Lucian had been keeping something this important from her.Her hands clenched at her sides as she took the elevator up to the executive floor. The doors opened, and she stepped out, heading straight for Lucian’s office.“Ma’am—” Lucian’s secretary, Janine, started, but Aurora had already pushed the door open.Lucian was standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a phone pressed to his ear. At the sound of the door slamming shut, he turned, his blue eyes narrowing slightly when he saw her.“I’ll call you back,” he muttered, ending the call.Aurora stood there, arms crossed, anger simmering beneath the surface. “How long?”Lucian sighed, already knowing what she meant. “Aurora—”“How long have you known?” she demanded, her voice shak
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 144: The Interview
Aurora barely had a moment to breathe.Between wedding preparations and handling company affairs, her days had turned into a whirlwind. But for the first time, she didn’t feel pressured.This wedding was different.It wasn’t an obligation, a contract, or a forced responsibility. This time, it was hers. It was theirs.She had chosen this path with Lucian because she loved him, and every detail of the ceremony reflected that. From the floral arrangements to the venue selection, everything felt magical.But even as she juggled everything, there was still work to do. Today, she had an important media interview representing the company, ensuring investors and clients that the transition of leadership under her and Lucian remained stable.Aurora arrived at the studio dressed in a tailored beige suit, exuding confidence. She had done countless interviews before, so she thought she was prepared.She was wrong.The first half of the interview went smoothly. The questions were professional—abou
