AURORA'S POV

Devon grabbed my phone from my hand and added Aiden’s contact information.

“How do you know my passcode?” I frowned.

“I had to write your birthday six hundred times when I filled out the paperwork last night. You seem like the predictable type. Again, no”

“Offense. I know.” His eyes stayed on my phone, his thumbs moving fast over the screen. “You realize saying that makes whatever you say next automatically offensive, right?”

“The way to reach him is four-four-five. He only replies to texts. Sometimes.”

Of course. Devon placed my phone on top of the stack of papers I was holding.

“Cheers, Aurora.”

“Wait!” I called after him. “What about Peter Vory? Can I tell him I’ll have his money soon?”

He stopped at the doorway.

“Ah, that’s the best part of becoming a King.” He stretched his arms wide. “Your problems aren’t yours anymore. I believe Peter is Daniel Sterling’s problem now. So I’d say you’re covered, and Vory is completely and totally screwed for laying a hand o

    AURORA'S POV She reached for the shoulder bag hanging over her chair, pulled out her checkbook, and slapped it on the table. Clicking her pen, she started writing me a check. “For my part, I’ll ask Father to recommend a good divorce lawyer,” Ariella said cheerfully. “This is totally fixable. It’s not too late to back out. We can make sure you still get” “You want the truth?” I snapped, jumping to my feet, shaking with frustration. “Fine. Here it is, I’m not like you all. Annabelle is bold, fearless, and determined to take over the world. Ariella, you were born into privilege. You have more money than some countries, two brothers who would do anything for you, and a bright future as a doctor. Sandy, you found your perfect match, and your family would always have your back no matter what. Me…” I let out a bitter laugh. “I’m different. I wanted to marry for love. And I did. Saying it didn’t work out would be putting it lightly. Now, I’m choosing security. It’s not the honorable thi

    AIDEN'S POV “All there?” Vory sniffed, eyeing the open black duffel bag. Kenneth stood behind him, arms crossed, towering over us like a bodyguard from a crime movie. “Count it,” Daniel ordered,spitting his cigarette on the floor. Vory started flipping through the stacks of hundred dollar bills. His shoulders finally relaxed a little. We were in his office, making our delivery. He had insisted we meet here, probably because his place was stocked with more weapons than a gun shop. “Kenneth.” Vory snapped his fingers as he counted, wetting his fingers to separate the bills. His man stepped closer. Vory took the chance to slap the back of his head. “Count with me, you useless piece of shit.” It took them twenty minutes to finish. When they were done, Vory zipped the bag shut and smiled at us. “I’m pleased to say we have no outstanding debts between us, gentlemen. Thank you for your business.” Daniel nodded, stood, and turned around. I followed suit. We reached the d

    AIDEN'S POV “Where’d you hurt her, Kenneth?” I asked the man hanging in front of me, my eyes level with his stomach. He flinched, realizing how close I was. Neither of them would snitch on me. Crossing Daniel Sterling wasn’t something people in Boston did. And those dumb enough to try didn’t live to tell the story. Even if Vory and his muscle decided to talk to the feds, I had half the city’s judges in my pocket. “I…I…” "Her eye?" I asked calmly. "Yes, I remember my fiancée had a bad black eye." I swung the poker at his face, hitting him above the nose. The hot metal sizzled against the burlap, burning into his skin. He let out a wild scream, twisting like a trapped animal. "I also remember you hit her cheek." I slammed the poker against his cheek. "And her brow, ribs and knees." I beat Kenneth while Daniel held Vory’s head underwater in his own bathtub. Ten minutes later, when both wannabe gangsters were barely conscious, Daniel threw a towel onto the floor. I wiped th

    AIDEN'S POV “Dead? I don’t think so. I bet Reynolds is alive. The moment he hears his wife married a billionaire, he’ll show up and start making demands.” “Not possible,” I said firmly. “The divorce papers will arrive tomorrow morning. He won’t get a penny. I don’t care where Reynolds is or what he’s doing.” “He can call Aurora and make her feel guilty. He’s still her husband.” “He was her husband.” “She picked him.” “She made the wrong choice,” I shot back. “If anyone’s soft enough to forgive the man who abandoned her, it’s your future wife,” Daniel warned. I cracked my knuckles under the table. “Exactly. I need to get her pregnant before she decides to run off with her ex.” I didn’t want a runaway bride. I didn’t trust Aurora not to run straight back to her ex-husband the moment I pulled him out of whatever hole he was hiding in. And the longer he stayed unaware of me, the better my chances of getting Aurora pregnant without him getting in the way. Daniel gave m

You’d look stunning in a pencil skirt.” Henry snapped his teeth together like he was going to bite, adding nothing useful to the conversation, as usual. “Herold spent the morning jumping from one talk show to another,” Devon said. “He’s planning something.” “No doubt,” I agreed. “Is Daniel handling it?” Henry asked. My younger brother didn’t know who Landon was or the history we shared. But like all Kings he could smell trouble from miles away and had the natural born killer instinct to destroy it. “Not yet.” I glanced at my watch. “I want him to make the first move. See what he’s got before I destroy him.” My assistant knocked on the door. She stepped in carefully, wearing a bright pink blazer over what looked like a bra and her long, platinum hair reached her waist. “Mr. King?” “Ms. Brandt. Is it Halloween?” She tilted her head in confusion. “No.” “Then

    AURORA'S POV After a month of being ignored by the groom every time I called and texted him, I arrived at my wedding in a black limo with Annabelle and Sandy by my side. It was a surprisingly sunny day, especially since winter had stretched into spring, and the nonstop rain made this the longest, gloomiest winter Boston had ever seen at least, according to the local weather reports. Since I was the one making all the plans, I designed the wedding to fit my own taste, without worrying about what Aiden preferred. Even though Ariella told me Aiden didn’t like fruit in his dessert, the cake was a six-layer soft sponge cake covered in white chocolate and topped with red fruit seeds. The ceremony was held at St. Luke’s, the Protestant church I’d attended since I was a child, even though I knew Aiden had grown up Irish Catholic. I wore a fancy, pearl colored dress, and my hair was so packed with hairspray I probably could’ve set something on fire just by standing too close.

    AURORA’S POV “I can’t believe I’m getting married again,” I whispered to her more than to anyone else. “It’s not too late to change your mind,” Sandy reminded me. “Really. Ask any Julia Roberts movie out there.” “Enough,” Annabelle warned, giving our red-haired friend a look. “Let’s at least give the guy a chance today.” “You’re right.” Sandy sighed, rubbing her nose. “Sorry, Aurora.” The event coordinator poked her head through the open window. “We’re all set. My goodness, you look like a movie star, Aurora. Oh and before I forget, Henry is waiting for you by the church doors. “He’s the one walking you down the aisle, right?” “Well Actually,” Annabelle said, linking her arm with mine, “we’re all walking her down together.” “Oh, I'm pretty sure we have a choice,” Sandy joked. With that, I walked down the aisle surrounded by my friends and family, feeling loved, cared for, and safe. Just not by the man I was about to marry. After weeks of not seeing him, Ai

    AURORA'S POV Aiden pulled me close by our bandaged hands, pressing me against his strong body. His eyes darkened from calm, rich gold to burning fire as he leaned in. My breath stuck in my throat as he pressed his lips over mine, warm and overwhelming while bringing our hands to his chest and linking our fingers together. His kiss was firm, demanding and thefamiliar scent of his perfume filled my senses, making my knees weak. “Kiss me back,” he ordered, his voice rough. He tightened his grip on our bound wrists, pulling me upright. My body sagged against his, too stunned to react. Aiden deepened the kiss, his mouth taking control, his tongue teasing mine. It was rough on purpose, hot, exciting, and sexy. I had never been kissed like this before. Even the claps, whistles, and cheers faded under the burning desire rushing through me because I forgot where we were and what we were doing. All that mattered was the firm pressure of his tempting lips and how our hearts pounded toge

    AIDEN'S POV "Gladly. You’re excused. Have been for the six minutes since we finished," I said, waving her away. Her breasts looked amazing, especially when she suddenly stood up. They were full and shaped like pears, with pink nipples that looked like tiny diamond studs. My wife picked up her dress from the floor and put it back on, shaking her head. “Petar will call the driver for you,” I said, putting the cigar between my lips and texting my estate manager while she shoved her feet into those awful Manolo Blahnik heels that always gave her blisters. “Screw you, Aiden.” “Sure. How about tomorrow? I’m free at lunch. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to wait until I get home around nine-thirty.” She didn’t answer. Just turned around and marched toward the door. She stopped at the door, her hand on the wall, and looked back at me over her thin shoulder. “I’m just like you, you know.” “Highly doubt it,” I said, not looking up from my phone and already replying to an email from m

    AIDEN'S POV I was trying to push her to her limit, hoping she’d give up, agree to the IVF, and leave me alone. But she did what I told her. She played with her pussy by touching, pulling, and holding her full breasts. The older man looked up from his roses and froze, staring up at our window. Aurora Knight was supposed to be good, polite and innocent but she was wild and dirty, just like me. That made her dangerous for me. Like a drug I couldn’t quit. “That’s it,” I whispered into her ear, moving harder inside her as goosebumps covered her skin. “Open your legs and rub yourself on my window. Show the neighbor what your husband does to you, my sweet, beautiful slut.” I thought this would finally break her. That she couldn’t and wouldn’t, but she surprisingly did. She opened her thighs and touched herself as I kept thrusting from behind. The man didn’t move. He stood there, staring at my wife rubbing herself on the glass while I fucked her hard from behind. Her clit pressed again

    AIDEN'S POV It felt nice. “Now show me why you moved far away from your exes. What kind of wild things did you do with them?” I asked. Then without waiting for an answer, Aurora grabbed my hand and dragged me to the hallway, looked around and waited for me to lead the way to my bedroom. I did even though I knew she snooped around my house when I wasn’t home. I saw it on the cameras when Petar gave her a tour. I closed the door and locked it, just to be sure. She stood in front of me, slowly sliding off her dress and letting it fall to the floor like soft snow then grabbed my hand and placed it gently on the front of her pale neck. "Is this what you like?" she asked. Her chest moved fast with her quick breaths, and her eyes were full of excitement. "You did this that day… that time…” The day I threw her out, screaming. “Or…” She moved my hand down her body to her backside and slid it between her cheeks. “Maybe this? I don’t mind doing things with you, Aiden. I’ll do anything, a

    AIDEN'S POV She moved closer to me without waiting, soft and ready. Perfect. I had never met someone so easy to touch, yet so hard to control. We were pressed against each other. Her sweet, flowery smell filled my nose. “Seen your Aunt Tia lately?” I asked, touching her cheek with my hand. She took a shaky breath, her whole body shaking from just that small touch. I wondered if she reacted like this with her ex-husband. Did she shake like this when she was with the man she had picked?. The man I had sent her back to. “Yeah… I did,” she said, her voice unsure. “I think it was… Tuesday?” She couldn’t think clearly. And, sadly, neither could I. I lowered my head as she lifted hers. Her lips opened for me. I kissed her, pressing my knee between her legs. Her body pressed tighter against mine. She let out a small sound and pushed her chest to mine, rubbing against me like she needed more. My tongue played with hers as I held her face and kissed her deeper then moved my mouth down

    AIDEN'S POV She turned pale under her makeup and stepped back, almost falling. I reached out, grabbed her arm, and helped her stand. And still maintained the polite smile on my face to onlookers. "That’s what I thought. If you tell anyone that my wife visited her old grandmother in law, I’ll make sure everyone in America finds out your husband cheats on you. Have a good night, Mrs. Landon." "Aurora will sleep at my house tonight. No need to stop at her apartment," I told my driver as we got into the back of the car. Aurora took off her high heels with a happy sigh then leaned her head against the cool leather seat, too tired to talk about what just happened. She had danced with every important man at the party tonight. She was passed from one man to another, like a shiny toy. Everyone wanted to see the woman who had won over The Villain. Since most people had stopped trying to talk to me, Flower Girl was the next best thing. "Looks like you’re starting to like me," she said,

    AIDEN'S POV If Aurora felt weird, she didn’t show it. She put her hand in Herold’s. I had to try really hard not to jump in and pull her away from him.It was just a dance. And maybe it was good practice because one day, I’d have to see her with someone else. That would happen in a few years, after she gave me kids and finally gave up on me and my cold heart.We’d end up like my parents. Polite strangers, staying together only because of deals, shared stuff, and what people expected.Now I was stuck alone with horse faced Morgana and her annoying twins. Morgana leaned on the bar with a sly smile and lipstick that didn’t look right.“She’s sweet,” she said.“She’s fine,” I answered.I should have looked away from Aurora in Herold’s arms, but I couldn’t. Watching them made me feel strange. My head started to hurt. Mrs. Landon’s eyes lit up with interest.“That’s not a great thing to say about a wife you can’t stop staring at. How’s married life so far?”I looked at her face. No wonder

    AIDEN'S POV One reason I really liked Aurora was because she had very good manners. She stood up, gave a friendly smile, and held out her hand to my enemy, even though she didn’t have to. “Aurora King. Nice to meet you.” “Herold Landon, and this is my wife, Morgana. I think you’ve already met my sons, Tinder and Tree.” “They made quite an entrance.” Aurora laughed and gently brushed Tinder’s wet hair out of his face. Don’t touch his kid. “I’m bored. Can you play with me, princess?” Tinder pulled on my wife’s dress, still wet from the champagne he made her spill. I wasn’t jealous of a five-year-old. I really wasn’t. Even if the way my wife looked at him made me annoyed. “This place is boring, huh?”. She then winked at him like they shared a secret. “ So, let’s go find something fun and exciting to do.” “No, thank you. We still need to say hi to some people.” Morgana pulled her kids closer. She was having a hard time keeping them still. She looked plain, especially next to my

    AIDEN'S POV “You held my hand the whole drive, since you took the contract from me.” I looked down and quickly pulled away from her. “Didn’t notice.” “You look good when you’re flustered.” “I swear, Aurora, I’ll send you to your precious Namibia if you don’t stop annoying me.” “So now I annoy you all the time.” Her blue eyes sparkled. “That’s one feeling. Twenty-six more to go!” There are twenty-seven feelings? That seemed impossible. No wonder most people were completely useless. The driver opened the back door. I got out first, holding my wife’s delicate hand as the cameras flashed, wanting more of the woman who chose to be with The Villain. I put my wife behind me and walked past the cameras, using my body to block the bright flashes so she wouldn’t trip and embarrass me. It was showtime. The charity ball reminded me why I didn’t like being around people. At least not outside the bedroom. A heavy cloud of perfume filled the air above perfectly styled hair. The marble fl

    AIDEN'S POV She tried to challenge me with deep thoughts, which made her cute enough to want. But honestly, I didn’t need much reason to want her. I often thought about what her pussy tasted like. After the card game on the ranch, I licked my fingers, and her scent alone made me incredibly turned on. “It’s okay if you don’t want to take any chances,” she said, about to put the contract back in her bag. “There’s no such thing as a soul,” I said flatly. “In that case, I’d like to buy yours,” she said. “How did it end on that TV show?” I leaned back and twirled my cigar. “Billions?” She looked puzzled. “The girl who thinks like you signed the contract, showing she really didn’t believe in her soul.” “Amateur mistake.” I held my cigar with my teeth and used my hands to adjust the necklace around my wife’s neck so the clasp wouldn’t show. “The first rule in business is supply and demand. You put a price on something based on how others see it. My beliefs don’t matter. You think so
