The following morning, Caspian got dressed in a plain white shirt. Tugging its shirt in black trousers, his tie was well knotted, even though stress was obviously displayed on his face. He still looks extremely classic, looking every inch like a CEO. He walked elegantly to Apex Group, his heart pounding. He hoped that today he would achieve the reason he visited Apex Group. As he approached the receptionist, as usual, she greeted him with respect and immediately placed a call through to Aurora to confirm if she had an appointment with Caspian.“Hi ma'am, CEO Caspian is here; may I confirm if you have an appointment with him?” Her voice echoed deeply into Aurora's ear. Caspian's eyes became widely opened; he instantly knew the call would yield no positivity; Aurora wouldn't allow him in. However, if what he had envisaged was right, he had other plans. “I don't want to see him; do not allow him in; else you lose your job,” Aurora threatening as her voice echoed deeply into the receptio
Caspian sat in silence, his mind filled with the thoughts of Aurora's demand. He bowed his head as the weight of Aurora's words pressed him down. The thought of how a prestigious CEO like himself will all of a sudden turn into an errand boy hurt his pride and self-esteem really hard. He tightened his fist, and he tried to reduce his thoughts; he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond to Aurora. Without uttering a word, he stood up with his pride degraded from the seat and walked towards the door; his movements were hard. However, as he made his way to the door, Aurora's voice echoed deeply and sharply behind him. “Don't forget, Caspian, you only have three days to get back to me!” Hearing that, he halted his steps to decide what Aurora had said, still maintaining his position without turning to Aurora.Caspian tightened his lips, clenched his fist without uttering any words, finally made a move, and walked out of Aurora's office. Aurora adjusted herself perfectly in h
=Annabele's eyes opened in shock; her heart beat in succession as she tried to understand why Caspian had requested that she kneel and apologize to Aurora. To her, it didn't make any sense, and it was a humiliating thing for her to do. She battled with the thoughts of if Aurora had told him everything that happened years ago. That she was the one that drugged Aurora’s drink years back, and what's the orchestrator of their divorce, just all because she could have Caspian? The thoughts made her head spin, and a scream of anger steamed up inside her. She couldn't keep quitting anymore; she needed to know the reason why Caspian wanted to humiliate her and wanted her to apologize to Aurora in public; she felt like it was nothing but an absolute disgrace. “Why?” Annabel demanded furiously, her voice raised, looking deeply into Alton's eyes, then back to Aurora. “Why exactly do you want to humiliate me like this in front of this bitch?” She spat out words, obviously at Aurora, with deep h
Caspian was frozen as he stood for a moment; he couldn't believe what had just been revealed to him. He was hit by the weight of Aurora words like a tidal wave. He was shocked that Annabelle was behind everything—the lies, the pictures, and the manipulation. He couldn't believe that she had manipulated him, ruined his marriage, and destroyed his trust in Aurora, and he fell for the lies—every bit of her lies. He squeezed his fist behind him as he gawked at Annabel in annoyance. His eyes were full of flames of fire; he was furious as he tightened his jaw. He wanted to scream at her for every evil thing she had done; he wanted to lash harder on her; he wanted to slap her across the face to make her feel all the pains he had gone through, which he had caused him for the past years.However, he held back and forced himself to control his anger; he didn't want to lose it now; he didn't want to lose it in front of Aurora. He didn't want her to think he was still the same man who had hurt he

After then, Aurora raised her chin and steady her gaze as she walked briskly away from Caspian towards the entrance of the mall, and her heels clicked sharply on the polished floor. Caspian, without wasting any time, trailed behind her; desperation was clearly written all over his face as he tried to keep up to her pace. "Aurora," he whispered in an insistent voice as he leaned very close to Aurora, hoping Aurora would hear him and give him a listening ear. "Aurora, what do you want to trust me on again? I have done what you requested of me to do; I have made Annabel apologize to you in public and also broke up with her, and now I am ready to be your errand boy. Please, I need you to help me, father, and business." Aurora didn't respond; she kept her face nonchalant, and her attention was fixed straight ahead. She didn't take any glance at him, and her silence made him more desperate.However, when she wanted to make a turn at him, something quickly caught her attention. There was a
The wedding day arrived between Harison and Aurora, and the venue exuded glamour as Harrison Monroe welcomed dignitaries from far and wide. Rumours quickly circulated that Harrison was marrying a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. Theodore and Evelyn, Aurora’s grandparents, took their seats at the front of the lavish hall, appearing more radiant than ever. Theodore's heart swelled with relief on this day, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long while. Despite his strong objections to Aurora marrying an older man, he reluctantly accepted it as the only solution to settle the debt. Their faces radiated with joy like never before. Three years ago, Aurora was granted a scholarship to attend the Maviz Wrestling Academy due to her exceptional performance in a free wrestling competition. Despite facing bullying and rejection from her peers, she remained resilient and always strived to excel. The announcement of a new wrestling competition, with the winner receiving 50 million dol

Aurora maintained her gaze at Caspian, already losing her temper. “What do you want, Caspian?” “Who is this boy's father?” Caspian responded with a quivering voice. As he swayed his gaze to Aurora, then back to Rome. “It's none of your business, and have you forgotten you had a low sperm count when we were together? So how possible would you impregnate me?” Aurora's face turned cold as he responded shabbily to Caspian. Caspian became shocked, obvious to Aurora and Ralph, who sat helpless, still holding firmly to Rome's end. He was speechless and decided to watch the two speak. Caspian immediately remembered years ago that he was diagnosed with low sperm count, he recalled that he didn't even finish his treatment. He got more hit by the realization. He wanted to immediately disappear from Aurora and Ralph's presence, as he felt he was being so humiliated already. However, as he stared at Rome, the boy striking resemblance to him couldn't make him stop, couldn't make him leave
Caspian was stuck in the car, paralyzed by the news that displayed vividly on the small screen of his car. He gawked his eyes at the image of the news playing on the screen right in front of him. The image of the burned warehouse filled the tiny space; he was crushed and couldn't believe his multi-million dollar goods were gone in a twinkle of an eye. He lay his head helplessly on the wheel of his car. His heart crushed more as the thought of what he had just battled just in days almost ran him insane. His father was just sent abroad for medical surgery, his ex-wife was back, and he couldn't believe that Aurora had changed so much. She wasn't the timid young lady he once knew; she is now a sophisticated young woman with enormous power. He groaned in pain as he wished to have her back. Coupled with his terrible sad news. He knew right away he had gone bankrupt, and the only way to help him now not to be ruined more financially is for him to merge his companies with this most powerful c
