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 because of her innocence and aura. After her marriage to his son, Harrison had been anticipating having a grandchild. However, he was disappointed day after day without any positive results from Aurora and Caspian.

"Great, sir! However, I would love to have some private moments with Aurora. Could you give us some privacy, sir?" Dr. Edward requested from Harrison. Aurora was glad; at least she could try out her power without Mr. Harrison's knowledge.

"Oh, it's fine!" Harrison responded as he watched Aurora walk behind Dr. Edward into his private office.

Once there, without hesitation, Aurora dropped the bomb.

"With due respect, Dr. Edward, why do you employ uncultured people in this reputable organization?" Aurora asked before Dr. Edward could offer her a seat. Dr. Edward looked around, his eyes scanning the room to confirm if anyone else was there, his brows furrowing.

"I want that receptionist called Jane fired! She doesn't fit to work in this organization," Aurora demanded before Dr. Edward could reply.

"Excuse me?" Dr. Edward asked, mystified, wondering what had come over Aurora.

"You heard me right! Well, Dr. Edward, I need you to do this for me. I know you are an elderly man, and you are obedient, and you wouldn't want to lose all you worked for just in minutes," Aurora continued with utmost confidence. There was an unprecedented look in Dr. Edward's eyes as continuous shock bubbled in his heart. He couldn't find anything to say and kept staring at her blankly, expecting more.

"Well, you don't need to do any tests. All you will do is just form a result and inform my father-in-law that there is nothing wrong with me. Ensure you input on the result sheet that every necessary test has been done, and all should read negative. Tell him his son must do a test as well, and when you carry out the test, let it state that he has a low sperm count, that the fault is from him!" Aurora said firmly as she sat on the armchair, balancing her hands firmly on the arms of the chair.

"Mrs. Aurora, are you in your right senses? What the hell are you talking about?" Dr. Edward said, shocked, his mouth agape. He had been working as a reputable doctor for years and had never encountered such a request, not even from his previous director. He wondered why Aurora could request such a heinous thing from him. Before he could say anything, Aurora brought out the golden card Seraphine had given to her. She stretched it out to Dr. Edward.

"Yeah! It's either you agree to my request or just lose everything in the blink of an eye,” Aurora threatened, looking deeply into Dr. Edward's eyes. Dr. Edward was awestruck. He couldn't believe the sight of what Aurora had just stretched out to him.

"This golden card is so familiar! It's only for Her Majesty Seraphine. How come she has it?” Dr. Edward thought, shocked and confused.

"Oh! Is that a fake card with you? That card only belongs to Her Majesty Seraphine. Well! How come you have it? It must definitely be fake!" Edward affirmed, taking the card from Aurora as he observed it hastily.

"You can confirm it! I am the new director!" Aurora declared. It was then Edward remembered that the news had been sent to all the managers of Pinnacle Group of Companies that a new director had taken over, and she would be introduced to all soon.

"Unbelievable! How come? We all…" Dr. Edward started to argue before Aurora cut him off.

"You do not need to argue! Just confirm!" Dr. Edward immediately scanned the card and was amazed when he saw that the new director was indeed Aurora. He immediately bowed his head to his new director.

"Now! Will you do my bidding? And don't forget, no one knows my identity!" Aurora said with a stern face. With her new hidden power, she vowed to become what she had always desired.

"Of course, your Majesty, your wish is my command," Dr. Edward said.

Soon afterward, Aurora stood up and went to the main office to meet Harrison, who was busy on a call.

She sat gently beside her father-in-law, who was in a long discussion with one of his business partners. After about 20 minutes, Dr. Edward entered, holding a file containing the fake test results, just as Harrison was concluding his call.

"Oh! Is that the result?" Harrison asked before Dr. Edward could say anything. Despite being in an air-conditioned room, his body was still dripping with sweat, which he wiped off with a white handkerchief.

"Yes, sir," Dr. Edward responded, balancing on his seat as he stretched out the results to Harrison. Harrison immediately opened the file and pulled out the paper with various inscriptions.

"Wow! All I am seeing here is negative! Negative! Does it mean Aurora is completely alright?" Harrison demanded with extreme surprise.

"Yes, Sir Harrison, Mrs. Aurora here is one hundred percent alright," Dr. Edward said affirmatively, nodding his head in agreement.

"Oh! What exactly could be the issue now?" Harrison asked.

"Well, the issue of childlessness doesn't lie with the woman alone. I suggest her husband take the test also to determine his level of fertility," Dr. Edward said firmly. Aurora was glad where she sat, pretending to be sad with the news.

"Oh! That's unbelievable. I will call him right away! We need to get to the root of the issue today!" Harrison said and dialed Caspian's number. He was glad Caspian picked up immediately.

"You need to meet me right away at the hospital; there is fire on the mountain," Harrison said and hung up the call.

    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.

    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!"

    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.

    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
