2024-10-29 19:42:56"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 exclaim, but she held back, reminding herself to be on her best behaviour. Just as she was about to take another bite, her phone rang, interrupting the moment.
"Shit! It's my father-in-law! Probably, he was ready for the meeting with the doctor," she thought. She ignored the call, planning to return it later. However, the persistent ringing left her feeling unsettled, and she found it hard to focus on her meal.
"I'm sorry, but I need to go, ma'am! I need to be somewhere with my father-in-law," Aurora said, picking up the serviette from the table and wiping her mouth.
"Oh! So soon? I heard you got married to the director of Harrison's Group. I could speak to your father-in-law if you don't mind! To spare some time for us!" Seraphine suggested. However, Aurora wasn't okay with that; she immediately objected.
"I am sorry, Miss Seraphine... Oh... sorry... mum! I didn't know I would spend much time outdoors. We had a plan to visit a place today!" Aurora explained, her voice a mix of emotions. She wished she could continue the meal and spend time with her new mum.
"Well, before you go, I would need you to sign some forms to indicate you are now the signatory and director of my businesses home and abroad," Seraphine said, signalling to one of her guards. Within two minutes, a man and a woman entered the room, bowing to Seraphine. They were Seraphine's lawyers. Aurora couldn't believe it; everything felt like a dream to her.
"Here are two of my lawyers," Seraphine explained as Aurora greeted them respectfully. Within minutes, the lawyers presented the forms and handed them to Aurora to sign. Seraphine gazed at Aurora, her heart swelling with pride. She was grateful Aurora accepted her as a mother despite the years apart. Watching Aurora, she marvelled at how her daughter had grown into such a beautiful young lady.
"She looks so much like her father," Seraphine mused, lost in thought, until one of the lawyer's voices, Ben, brought her back to the present moment.
"We are done, Miss Seraphine!" Ben's voice echoed, snapping her back to reality.
"Oh! Great! Fantastic!" Seraphine exclaimed, reaching into her million-dollar Italian handbag. She pulled out a golden card and handed it to Aurora. Aurora was mesmerised by the card, its raw, captivating light gold surface adorned with buttons and features. "This is for you," Seraphine said, smiling warmly.
"This card does many things. If you get to a company and want to know the director, click this white button. It will display the company's owner; you can now control any company under my empire as the new director. You can use it to purchase anything you want, no matter the cost! It contains millions of dollars. With time, you'll discover its incredible features!" Seraphine explained, handing the golden card to Aurora.
"Thank you, Mother, but…" Aurora started, but her phone rang again. It was her father-in-law. She had ignored the call before, but she couldn't ignore it now.
"Hey, Aurora, where have you been? I have been calling," Harrison's voice boomed through the phone. He was fond of Aurora and unaware of the poor treatment she received from Caspian. He longed for a grandchild and wondered why Aurora had never been pregnant in her three years of marriage to Caspian.
"Yes, I am great! I am so sorry, Father, I wasn't aware that my phone rang; however, I can speak now!" Aurora said, twitching her eyes. "Well, I have been trying the Caspian line as well; I want the two of you to meet me at the hospital immediately!" Harrison said urgently.
"Oh! I am sorry; he had an emergency to attend to this morning, so he was out as early as possible, but I can come alone if you don't mind." Despite Caspian's cruelty to her, Aurora felt a need to protect him, her love for him unwavering. "Alright, it's okay. Meet me at the hospital right away! We need to know what the issue is," Harrison ordered.
"I need to go, Mum! I have something urgent; my father-in-law is waiting," Aurora pleaded with Seraphine. "It's fine. Call me whenever you're free! I'll have to introduce you as my daughter and heir to my empire," Seraphine explained.
"Oh! I'm sorry, mum! I would love my new identity to be concealed for now!" She pleaded, holding Seraphine's hands firmly. "It's fine, my daughter," Seraphine responded as they stared into each other's eyes; Aurora's eyes blinked with tears. I am your mum now; let me know whatever you are going through. Share with me your pains, fears, and happiness," Seraphine said as Aurora nodded sweetly. Thank you, Mum," Aurora said, and they shared some sweet hugs.
As Aurora was escorted to the elevator, she sighed deeply. " It's time to secretly deal with those who have hurt me in the past," she swore to herself, recalling the despicable scene of Caspian with the strange lady. Her heart grew heavy as she anticipated seeing them again in the regular section while the elevator descended.

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 clicked on the doorbell, and the sliding door opened, ushering her in. She saw her father-in-law sitting and balancing his body firmly on the sofa as he spoke with Dr. Edward."Hi Aurora, how are you doing? Glad you got here safe! Dr. Edward, this is Aurora, my son's wife, whom I discussed with you," Harrison said before Aurora could greet them."Good day, Dr. Edward," Aurora greeted, bowing her head to show respect. Dr. Edward, a man in his late forties, had a smooth scalp that gleamed under the light, his face etched with fine lines and a few wrinkles. Despite his age, his blue eyes remained bright and full of wisdom."Hi, Mrs. Aurora, it's nice to have you here! You are welcome," Edward greeted, signaling for Aurora to sit."Without wasting much time, you can just get started with the test as discussed. Check what exactly the issue is so we can know the possible ways to resolve it! I need a grandchild!" Harrison said with deep curiosity. He had chosen Aurora years back becaus

Caspian had just finished enjoying his sexual escapade with Mitchell, who had paid him a surprise visit. They had a great moment together, and immediately after Harrison's call ended, tension-filled Caspian wondered what the issue might be. He immediately started dressing up."Hi, what's the issue? Why are you rushing to dress?" Mitchell, covered with a duvet, asked as she sat upright on the bed, watching Caspian dress."It's an urgent call from my dad! He sounded disturbed. He asked me to meet him at the hospital right away! I need to go; I'll be back shortly!" Caspian explained."Oh! I am so sorry about that! Let me just come with you, please," Mitchell pleaded. Hearing that, Caspian immediately halted his dressing and rejected Mitchell's proposal, staring intensely into her eyes."Oh, no! You can't. Like I said, it's an emergency!" Caspian said. His father mustn't see him with another woman, at least not yet. He planned on divorcing Aurora once his father eventually went on the vaca

"He has a low sperm count? How?" Harrison asked, extreme shock filling his stern voice. Caspian's ears immediately felt blocked upon hearing that as he snapped the result from his father. He couldn't believe his eyes as he looked through the result sheet, his mouth agape."This is unbelievable! I don't believe this! Do the test again!" Caspian roared, his facial expression changing from sweet to scary. Harrison was speechless as he stared intensely at his son. Fear gripped Dr. Edward's heart, fearing the unknown."What if Caspian demands another doctor from another hospital to carry out the test again? What will be my fate?" Different unprecedented thoughts raced through his mind."Would my career be ruined? I would be ruined either way, whether I do it or not!" His heart ached, but he needed to act smart. He had been in the game for a long time. He was the best doctor in all of Montana; no one could match him, and he believed this would definitely be a success."Well, it's fine, Mr. C

After Aurora walked behind her father-in-law to the hospital parking lot, where Harrison's driver and bodyguard were already waiting, he turned to her."You can come with us, Aurora. I'll drop you home," Harrison offered as they walked towards the parking area."Oh, thank you, sir. I would have loved to, but I want to get some things at the store. My driver will be here soon," Aurora replied. She didn't want to go home just yet; she had unfinished business at the hospital."Oh, that's all right then. By the way, I should mention that I'm traveling to Italy tomorrow morning. I'm taking the first flight. Your husband is aware, so please ensure you take care of him, especially regarding his medications," Harrison said. Aurora was surprised but pleased. It meant she had more time to deal with Caspian as she wished.Soon after their conversation, Harrison entered his car, and they drove away from the hospital.Aurora returned to the reception and asked Jane to call Dr. Edward. Jane, who had

After enjoying the delicious delicacies, Aurora moved into her room to refresh herself. She felt happy for the first time in her three years of loveless marriage. "Today is indeed a great day for me. I became a powerful billionaire, and my husband started acting right," she thought, smiling. She then entered the sitting room and found Caspian glued to the television. Aurora was amazed by how handsome Caspian looked as she stared intensely at his chest. It was the first time she had seen his bare chest, and she fell in love with him even more. "Come right here," Caspian said, beckoning Aurora. She moved close and sat beside him. Her heart sank with happiness as Caspian gently pulled her, resting her head on his bare chest. She felt a sweet nostalgia and wished it could last forever. Lost in these romantic thoughts, Aurora was brought back to reality by the newscaster's voice from the television. The news was about a new competition between Montana and the Western countries. Aurora

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

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

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 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 hat

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.

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

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
The Ruthless Billionaire's Wife Returns Chapter 28
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
