Caspian stood still watching the secretary as she dialled up the landline to Aurora’s office. He felt anxious and quite frustrated, and the sleek walls and shining floors around him refused to calm his nerves. He blinked his eyes and by the time he glanced at the secretary again, she was already on a call with Aurora.

Eventually, the secretary raised her head to him. “I'm sorry, CEO Caspian; madam said she doesn't want to see you.”

Before she could finish speaking, Caspian walked past her without waiting for a permit from her and headed straight to Aurora’s office.

“Sir! Please, you can't go! Wait!” The secretary screamed as she ran after Caspian, trying to stop him; however, Calsina paid a deaf ear and ignored her totally. His mind was made up; getting to Aurora’s door, without knocking, he pushed the off-door one and stopped inside.

Aurora, who was well seated behind her large desk, stood up immediately as she sighted Caspian barged into her office; her face was filled with surpri

    As Aurora dashed towards her car, her heart kept beating heavily as she contemplated what to do next. She has called the police and her lawyer; her private investigator wasn't left; however, there was no news of Liam yet. She started parenbutalating and the thought of where she would head engrossed her mind. Caspian immediately dialled the cops line. Everywhere was tense as Aurora kept pacing to and fro in the parking lot; her mind was in chaos as she started thinking of how exactly Liam had disappeared.Then Suddenly, Aurora's phone rang, and she quickly picked up the call; her heart echoed as she pressed it to her ear. “Hello!” She spoke with a trembling voice, trying to figure out whose call it was. “Hi bitch!” A cold, familiar voice rang into her right ear. Aurora froze immediately, she instantly recognised the voice. “Annabel?” She whispered slowly as her heart sank. “Yes! It's a good thing you recognise my voice,” Annabel responded to her, her tone filled with anger. “Now i

    Aurora and Caspian rushed into a dark abandoned building with a team or police officers. Caspian provided Annabel’s second line and she was tracked into the old abandoned building. Aurora’s heart pounded as the team moved cautiously down the hallways; their steps bounced against the concrete and everything second that passed felt like a dagger in Aurora's heart as the thought of Liam, her son, in such a horrible place. “Stay close, Aurora; everything will be fine,” Caspian whispered, his voice tense, however steady. He tried to stay strong, but the fears in his eyes were obvious to Aurora. When they got to the heavy metal door that led to the room, Annabel was holding Liam, and one of the officers made a sign for everyone to halt their steps. Aurora's breath halted as the officer turned the handle or the door. The door immediately opened slightly and it revealed a small, dark room that was lit just by a single bulb. What Aurora saw made her breathe halt; she was almost suffocated.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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
