A mail notification popped on Jackson's phone just before Aurora responded. It was a termination email.

"Oh! What is this? What have I done?" Jackson screamed, staring intensely at the termination email. His heart was wrecked with pain; he had been doing the job for 4years now and couldn't fathom why he was being terminated.

"And you, how the hell did you know I would get terminated?" Jackson asked, pointing recklessly at Aurora.

"Well, if you remember, three years ago, you conspired with some top authorities who will soon meet their Waterloo to get me ripped off my rights. You should enjoy the outcome now!" Aurora said with a feigned smile. She then pulled out her golden ID card and showed it to Jackson.

Jackson, seeing the card in Aurora's hand, was dumbfounded. He recognized it immediately; it was only meant for top directors with significant power. He wondered how Aurora had obtained the card.

"Where the hell did you get that card?" he asked Aurora, snatching it from her and quickl

    After Caspian left the hospital, where Dr. Edward had administered injections containing only water and multivitamins—part of a well-orchestrated plan to make the treatment seem credible—he hoped he would eventually be healed of his low sperm count. As he got into his car, he reflected on his wayward life in Canada, filled with numerous girlfriends before he was pressured into marrying Aurora, whom he had never tried to love. He now faced the consequences of his past actions. "I think that lady I married loves me. If it wasn't love, why would she have stayed with me despite the way I've mistreated her for the past three years? Maybe it's because she comes from a low-income family. Even though she could have divorced me, she stayed!" Thoughts of Aurora filled Caspian's mind as he got into his car. "I need to make it up to her!" Caspian resolved, deciding to turn his main line back on. He had turned it off after learning about his low sperm count, not wanting to speak with anyone a

    It's been a week since Aurora began her consistent training. She would leave home whenever Caspian went to work, making sure to return before he returned.The list of those representing the country in the competition against the Western world was out. Aurora's name was boldly written at the top of the list posted on the board. Annabel's eyes widened in disbelief. She wiped her eyes with the back of her right hand and looked at the list again, carefully searching for her name."This is a lie! No! Something is amiss!" she screamed. She wished she could break the glass covering the board, tear down the list, and rewrite a new one with her name at the top.Aurora watched from a distance, staring intensely at Annabel. She was glad Annabel could see her name boldly and smiled sweetly, especially as she took her revenge slowly."I am glad you are feeling the pain I felt years ago," she muttered quietly."How could Aurora be the team lead, and my name isn't among those representing the country

    Aurora ignored the crowd, including the handsome man surrounded by admirers, and sashayed elegantly toward the flower section. Dressed as a common peasant, no one noticed her as an important person."Hi, I like these flowers and want to get some for my husband!" Aurora said to the sales representatives, pointing to red flowers with white lines that were beautifully designed. They acted as if they didn't see her."Excuse me, I want to get some flowers!" Aurora's voice reverberated through their ears again. This time, one of the sales representatives stared at Aurora disdainfully, giving her a cold look."Excuse me, this is a flower mall for wealthy people. Have you seen the prices on them? Do they look like something you can afford?" she retorted sharply. Before Aurora could respond, the handsome man walked elegantly toward the sales representative. His black blazer shone brightly, indicating it was well-ironed. The sales representative screamed at his sight."Oh! Alton, he is so cute!"

    Aurora opened the car door and sat down. Without uttering a word, Caspian drove off. Aurora wanted to ask where he was coming from, as she had thought he was home. Within three minutes, he drove into their villa, the gate opening wide by the gatekeeper.Stepping out of the car, Caspian walked to Aurora and held her hand romantically as they went to their room."We were supposed to have a dinner date, but it will be postponed to another time. I made us a scrumptious meal, but first, you must go in, shower, and put on a nice dress. I will feed you tonight," Caspian said as they entered the sitting room, his hand holding Aurora's."Thank you, my husband," Aurora muttered, smiling sweetly at Caspian. It still felt like a dream to her that Caspian would show her any form of love. She hurried into her room, walked to the bathroom, and washed herself thoroughly with warm water.She put on a short red gown. Though it wasn't well-designed, it highlighted her well-curved, slim shape. Coming out

    "I am sorry, Aurora; please forgive me for all the wrongs I have done to you," Annabel roared, faking a crocodile's tears. Aurora looked around to confirm that there were not many people staring. She spotted some people staring from afar and immediately pulled Annabelle up. "Annabel, are you being serious right now? What's all this? Of course, you didn't offend me," Aurora said as he pleaded with Annabel to stand. "Of course I did; it was the time of the unknown; I was filled with youthful exorbitant then, please forgive me, you are a good person; you don't deserve how I have treated you in the past," Annabel said. Aurora sighed as her heart walked through how she had treated Aurora in the past; however, she felt she might be a changed person. Her husband, Caspian, had treated her worst, and now he has changed and turned a new leaf even without apologizing, so Annabel's case wouldn't be different."It's fine! Annabel, let it slide; it was in the past," Aurora eventually muttered; how

    In a few minutes, Aurora was taken to the room by another woman, with the help of one of the guys they had planned with. She ensured she bought an expensive outfit for the guy to make him look rich. She then opened the sensitive parts of Aurora's body and took indecent pictures of Aurora with the guy, who was grasping Aurora's thigh, pecking her, and holding firmly onto her breasts on the big gigantic bed, ensuring Aurora's hands were well-rounded on the guy's back. She took many pictures, dressed Aurora well again, and took her out to the VIP bar, lying on the sofa in the VIP section.She scrolled through her phone for Caspian's contact. Caspian had given her his card when they met at the ring mall, and since then, she had planned to get Caspian to herself and make Aurora's life miserable.She picked up the contact, saved it on her second phone, and forwarded it to Caspian's W******p.Caspian smiled sweetly, staring at Aurora’s picture and thinking about the plans already made.

    With teary eyes, she handed over the divorce papers to Caspian, who took them from her and walked out of her sight, tears welling in her eyes. She decided to let go of Caspian instantly; it was high time she forgot about Caspian and whoever had made her life horrible in the past.“He wouldn't love me if he didn't find out he was impotent. His love isn't genuine,” she muttered and walked into her room. She dropped her bag on the small table opposite the cushion, took a deep breath, and walked into the bathroom. The water was so cold as she poured it on her face and washed away her tears. She took the face towel hung on the iron hanger and wiped her face. She walked to her bed and dialed her mother's number.“Hi, Mother," her voice sounded soft as soon as Seraphine picked up the call.“Hi, my darling daughter, are you alright?" Seraphine asked, sensing from her voice that something was not right.“I am good, Mum," Aurora replied, faking a smile. "I just wanted to ask for your assistance!

    Aurora woke up the following morning with thoughts of Caspian. Looking around the gigantic bed with its white bedspread, she realized she was no longer with him. She stood up from the bed, walked towards the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and washed her face thoroughly. When she left her room, she was shocked to see a housekeeper waiting patiently at her doorstep."Good morning, young mistress. I am here to inform you that your breakfast is ready! I will walk you to the dining room; madam is already waiting,” the housekeeper said. Aurora was shocked, wondering why the housekeeper had waited until she left the room.“If I stay with Mum for too long, I will definitely add a lot of weight," she thought and smiled as she followed the housekeeper to the dining table. She met Seraphine, drinking hot coffee and listening to the news on the television."Hi, my darling daughter. Good morning. I hope you had a nice night,” Seraphine said, stretching her hands towards Aurora for a hug."Mum, I did.

    Caspian sat alone in Aurora’s sitting room, staring blankly at the floor. His heart ached with the pains of her rejection. He had come to her hoping to change her mind, to remind her of what they once shared, but she was so cold and distant to him. He did not know what else to do.His fingers ran through his hair as he let out a deep sigh. His body was too tired; his mind was more exhausted. The pains of everything he had done, every mistake he had made, felt deeper than ever. He wanted to leave, but his legs refused to move. Instead, he leaned back against the couch, closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he drifted off into an uncomfortable sleep.Aurora, on the other hand, had retreated to her room after sending Liam off with the nanny. She had convinced herself that she was done with Caspian, that she would not let her emotions override her. But even as she lay in bed, she could not stop thinking about him. His desperate eyes, the way he had held their son, and the pain in his vo

    Caspian paced his study, his mind restless as he waited for Ralph’s call. He had spent the entire night thinking of ways to win Aurora back. Now that the DNA test had proven the child was not his, he had no reason to let her go. He needed to see her, to make things right. He somehow got provoked, as his thoughts swayed to why Mitchel had acted the way she did to him. Why she would want to pin a child that isn’t his on him. He was trying to juggle the thought between Aurora and Mitchel when his phone buzzed, and he grabbed it instantly."Sir, I have found her," Ralph's voice came through. "Aurora is in her mansion at her Pinnacle Estate."Without hesitation, Caspian rushed to his room, threw on a fresh shirt, and grabbed his car keys. Within minutes, he was speeding down the familiar streets leading to Pinnacle’s estate. His heart pounded harder with each passing moment. Would she listen to him? Would she give him another chance?Upon arrival, the security recognised him and let him in

    Caspian arrived at the hospital with a racing heart, gripping the envelope containing the hair sample tightly. He stormed into the doctor’s office, his voice sharp and commanding."Doctor, I need this DNA test done immediately," he demanded, slamming the sample onto the table. "I need the results as soon as possible. I need to know if the child with this hair is mine"The doctor, an older man with years of experience, adjusted his glasses and nodded. "Understood, Mr Harrison. But to ensure accuracy, we’ll need a sample of your blood as well."Caspian barely flinched. "Do whatever you have to do. Just be quick."The nurse swiftly collected a sample of Caspian’s blood and handed it over to the doctor. "It will take a few minutes to process," the doctor said. "Please wait."Caspian sat in the waiting area, his fingers drumming against the armrest. His mind was in turmoil. He wasn’t ready to lose Aurora. He prayed, for the first time in a long time, that the child wasn’t his.Minutes felt

    Caspian was lost in thought, his mind racing as he sat alone in the dimly lit sitting room. The weight of everything that had happened pressed heavily on his shoulders. Aurora was gone, and this time, she wasn’t coming back. The thought sent a wave of panic through him. He had to do something—anything—to stop the divorce. He picked up his phone and dialed Aurora’s number again. The call rang, but she didn’t pick up. He tried again. Still, no answer.His fingers tightened around the phone. He didn’t even know where she was or who he could call to find her. His chest tightened as frustration clawed at him. How had everything gone so wrong so fast?A sudden, shrill voice outside pulled him from his thoughts. Caspian frowned, standing up and moving toward the window. His fists clenched at the sight before him—Mitchel was still at the gate, screaming, demanding to be let in.Caspian’s patience snapped. He stormed to the entrance, his jaw tight with anger. "Open the gate for her," he barke

    Caspian stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest as he watched Aurora drag her suitcase down the stairs. Her expression was cold, distant, as if the love they once shared had been erased completely. He rushed to her side, grabbing her wrist gently."Aurora, please," he pleaded, his voice raw with desperation. "Don’t do this. Let’s talk; let’s fix this together."Aurora yanked her hand away, her eyes blazing with pain and anger. "Fix what, Caspian?" she spat. "That you lied? That you slept with her? That there is another child out there with your blood?" She exhaled sharply, shaking her head. "I realise now that I made a great mistake. I shouldn't have given us another chance."Mitchel, standing in the middle of their lavish living room, smirked. "Caspian, are you done with your little drama? I need you to show me my room. My son needs to rest."Caspian’s jaw clenched as he turned to her; his anger got more escalated. "You think this is a joke? You came here to destroy my home, an

    Before Aurora could react, Caspian stepped outside. He had just finished a phone call and was walking toward the driveway when his eyes landed on Mitchell. His footsteps slowed, and his brows furrowed in confusion.“Mitchell?” he said, his voice filled with disbelief. “What the hell are you doing here?”Mitchell smirked and held her son left hand tightly. “Took you long enough, Caspian,” she said. “Didn’t expect to see me again, did you?”Aurora felt her heart pounding in her chest. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words caught in her throat.Caspian folded his arms and took a step forward. “Why are you here?” he asked sharply.Mitchell let out a dramatic sigh. “Is that how you welcome the mother of your child?”Aurora’s breath hitched. What?Caspian’s expression darkened instantly. “What the hell are you talking about?”Mitchell raised an eyebrow. “This is your son, Caspian. Our son.”Silence.Aurora felt like the ground beneath her had disappeared. The little boy stand

    Aurora nodded, as she looked straight into Caspina’s eyes. “I said it because I was desperate. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you. I thought if I gave you a reason to fight, you would wake up. And it worked. But the truth is, I don’t love you. I never did. And Liam isn’t your son.” Caspian stared at her, the colour draining from his face. “You don’t mean that,” he said quietly. “I do,” Aurora replied firmly, though her voice quivered. “I’m sorry, Caspian. But I can’t give you what you want.” Before Caspain could respond to her, the sound from the television immediately interrupted their conversation and grasped their eyes, swaying them in the direction of the television. The news reporter announced that Annabel had been sentenced to life imprisonment for the attempted murder of Caspian, the CEO of Harrison Group, and for kidnapping Liam, the son of Aurora, the director of Pinnacle Group.Aurora and Caspian exchanged glances, a small smile appearing on their faces.

    Aurora refused to leave Caspian’s side as the hours turned into days. She stayed in his hospital room, watching the rise and fall of his chest as he lay unconscious. Her heart ached with every passing second; the fear of losing him held her heart firmly. Despite the tiredness knocking her down, Aurora forced herself to stay strong. The doctors had warned that Caspian's survival depended on the next 24 hours, and she couldn’t afford to lose him. She made calls from his bedside, ensuring to take care of everything that concerned Caspian.Her first call was to Pinnacle Group of Companies top manager!“Hi Mr. Rowan,” Aurora began; her voice was steady despite the pains inside her, “I want Harrison Group to be merged with Pinnacle Group. Prepare everything immediately and send an email across to the company!" " “Noted ma'am! I will prepare it immediately."“Yes! Do it now! Harrison Group will remain intact, but under Pinnacle Group.

    The ambulance moved very fast through the city; its siren pierced through the air, Aurora sat down beside Caspian's unconscious body as her heart refused to stop beating. The bandages the paramedic had applied to Caspian were already soaked with blood and the red was seeping through the white sheets beneath him. She placed one of her trembling hands on his chest, and she felt the faint, uneven rise and fall of his breathing. Her other arm wrapped Liam, who was clutched tightly to her and his face was buried in her neck.“Caspian, stay with us, please,” she whispered, her voice breaking with her trembling lips. “You will be fine! I promise,” When they eventually got to the hospital, a team of doctors and nurses rushed forward to them as they pulled the Caspian stretcher from the ambulance. Aurora quickly stepped out as she clutched Liam tightly to herself, her legs wobbling beneath her.“Please, do everything in your power to save him!” She pleaded with one of the nurses, her voice sh
