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

  • The Ruthless Billionaire's Wife Returns   Chapter 45

    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. "Open the gate for her," he barke

    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

    The wedding day arrived between Harison and Aurora, and the venue exuded glamour as Harrison Monroe welcomed dignitaries from far and wide.

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.

    "Please, join my son with Aurora Sterling; I have found him the best wife. I wouldn't get married to a girl too young to be my granddaughter; all plans were for my son, Caspian." Harrison's declaration sent shockwaves through the crowd, leaving everyone bewildered. Annabel's disbelief pierced her as she watched Aurora marry the man she had always dreamed of. "Unbelievable! This wretched girl always takes what's mine!" she roared quietly, her frustration bubbling."I won't let this marriage last," she vowed, her words filled with bitterness. With determination fueling her, she stormed out of the wedding hall, her friend Minty walking behind her and offering words of comfort.****It's Aurora Sterling and Caspian Monroe's third wedding anniversary. Aurora approached Caspian in the sitting room, where he was engrossed in watching some business news. She carried the well designed cake she had baked, adorned with the inscription "Happy Third Wedding Anniversary," brimming with joy."Hey, m

    She stood still, mystified by the urgent call and the need to come home in an emergency. She was sceptical about what she should do first: clean up the mess of the broken cake or dress up to visit her grandparents. With a sigh, she walked to the living room, grabbed a cloth and knelt to scoop up the cake, her hands trembling. Icing smeared the floor as she scrubbed. “What should I do with this now? The reason for it had been trashed!” she thought, her heart racing with worry. She tossed the ruined cake into the trash and wiped the tiles until they gleamed. "At least this way, he won't be more pissed," she thought, standing up and dusting off her knees. She hurried to her room and quickly dressed, putting on a long black chiffon gown and white sandals. She booked a ride and hurried out, her thoughts racing about what awaited her at her grandparents' house. She hoped to be back before Caspian returned.It had been months since she'd last visited. Seeing her grandparents' house in the d

    "Are you good?" Seraphine asked as she noticed the sudden change in Aurora's demeanour.Aurora forced a nod; her eyes couldn't leave the distressing scene before her. "I... I'm fine," she managed to stammer, her voice quivering with emotion.Aurora allowed Seraphine to guide her into the elevator as she felt her soothing hands tapping her in a comforting way. As they ascended to the VIP room, Aurora's mind raced with conflicting emotions, anger and pain.Aurora was determined to focus on why she was there; she tried to forget the despicable scene of Caspian and the strange lady. The servers warmly welcomed her into the VIP section. Immediately, a variety of delicacies were served at the dining table. Aurora was shocked; she couldn't believe she could experience such luxury."Would you like to have some?" Seraphine asked, offering Aurora a warm smile. Aurora nodded and tried to smile back. She picked up her spoon and took a couple of bites. The food was so delicious, she wanted to excla

    When the elevator finally stopped, Aurora maintained her gaze straight ahead, determined not to see anything that would tear her heart once more. She kept her eyes forward, but the regular section's sweet, mixed voices of laughter drew her attention. She couldn't help but glance over, only to be surprised when she didn’t see Caspian with the strange woman.“Where the hell have they gone?” she wondered, halting her step as her eyes scanned the area. She wanted to know where they headed. “Probably, he has taken her to a hotel,” she thought, trying to steady her gaze.“Is everything alright, Aurora?” Seraphine's question brought her back to the present. “Why do I even care so much about someone who disregards me? To hell with both of them,” she thought and forced a smile.“Oh! I’m sorry, Mum! I was just admiring the beautiful scenes of couples in the regular section,” Aurora said, walking up to Seraphine and holding her hands firmly.“It’s fine. It’s part of what you control now! You can

    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

    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.

    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
