Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair Chapter 45.
AURELIA'S P.O.VI remained silent, unable to form the right words to answer Cooper's question. Was I supposed to tell him I was with his father, who by the way was my lover—ex-lover, you get the point. Or perhaps I could go with the most probable excuse, which would be that I went out for a stroll or perhaps to get something. Yeah, probably that.So with a forced smile, I respond, "I went out for some fresh air.""Oh really? For some fresh air?" He mocked, lifting a brow.Swallowing thickly, I nodded. "Yeah, and I um, I also wanted to get some chicken. I was craving chicken." I rambled nervously. Why was I rambling again? Technically, he hadn't caught me doing anything wrong, except if you were to count sneaking back into my own home much late into the night. And wasn't he supposed to be out of town?"Ahh, and where's the chicken?" His words taunted me, as if knowing I was lying. Getting on his feet, he tucked his hands into his pockets as he walked towards me, stopping a few steps aw

AURELIA'S P.O.VI didn't know how long I'd remained on the ground; my eyes had fluttered shut momentarily, but I was still conscious of my surroundings. I heard sharp knocks on my door, struggling to get off the floor, I managed to drag my tired body to the door, unlocking it, I was met with Thorne, who looked at me in concern. Wordlessly, I turned around and headed for the couch, plopping down on it as I lay down. I heard Thorne shut the door before paddling over to me, the couch sinking inwards as he sat close to me. Staring into nothingness, I felt his light feathery touches on my cheek."What happened? Talk to me, love." I didn't say anything, not quite knowing how to respond yet. Words felt too heavy to speak."Baby, please, talk to me." He pleaded, taking my hands in his as he rubbed it softly. Still, I remained silent, sobbing quietly instead. Alarmed by my reaction, Thorne went on one knee as he cupped my cheek."Baby, say something, please." Wiping away my tears, he searched

AURELIA'S P.O.V"You lot have gone mad, mad I tell you." Celia huffed as she fell back onto my bed. I had spent the past few hours giving her a recap on what had happened so far between Thorne, Cooper, and I, while we snacked on ice cream. And I had also narrated the intruder incident; safe to say that she was pissed I had left her out of 'the juicy' details."So tell me," She sat up on the bed as she took a scoop of ice cream. "What happened between you and Thorne again?"I groaned, "For the very last time, Cee, we became official. Sort of—soon to be official. Ugh, I dunno. We both know that we're official, but we're yet to come out about it." Unexpectedly she squealed as she bounced on the bed, Lucy appeared out of nowhere and snuck onto her lap. Not gonna lie, sometimes I felt jealous of the two of them; it seemed Lucy liked Cee more than me. Meh, it wasn't like I was jealous or anything. "Right now, I'm totally rooting for the both of you."I raised a brow at her in amusement. "I

AURELIA'S P.O.VI had texted Cooper saying I had accepted his invitation to the vacation. A vacation I already knew about and had planned to go on. Needless to say, Cooper was excited and had offered to pick me up but I had declined, stating that I'd meet him at the docks; surprise no surprise, his family had a yacht, which we'd be using to take us to their private villa. Celia had been over the moon when she'd heard that, packing the skimpiest and most revealing cloth for me, which also flattered my baby bump. She had also agreed to go, knowing that Ralph would be there. The couple was going through a bit of a phase, which Celia believed the vacation was the perfect solution for an amendment."We're going on a fucking yacht." Celia squealed as we dragged our luggage behind us. "A fucking yacht girl, you know I've always imagined what it'd be like to be on a private yacht, wearing a bikini and getting a tan while—" Celia continued to ramble just as I heard my name being called.

THORNE'S P.O.VSitting on wooden chair that overlooked the beach, I took a sip of my bourbon and then placed the cup on the glass table grateful to not be disturbed. The girls were still scouting the house, I could hear their somewhat loud giggles, the boys were most likely in the games room, and my dearest wife was out back taking a swim. Our relationship lately had been strained, and I believe even more so than before. Caroline picked a fight over the littlest things, often times I'd see her making mysterious phone calls, always hanging up whenever I was in sight. I had started to belive she was having an affair and then one day when we were in the middle of an argument which her of course probing into my life and why I had seemed distant, I had also disclosed the fact that I suspected she was cheating. She had vehemently denied the claim, insisting that her personal life and calls are none of my business. Needless to say, we had become strangers in our own home. I didn't totally fa

AURELIA'S P.O.V"So, if I may ask, where are you taking me to?" I questioned the man, who only smirked at me in response."Can't tell; I guess you'd have to wait to find out." I let out a groan but remained silent; judging by how few the houses were, coupled with the fact that there were a lot more greens, I'd say we were headed towards the woods. The pathway looked similar to the one that led up to Thorne's Cabin. The yacht ride had been fairly okay; I had stuck with Celia all through, and luckily I hadn't thrown up. I seemed to do that a lot these days. Cooper had tried to make small talk with me, but I had always shut him down, which obviously annoyed him, but he chose not to push it. The villa was beautiful; it wasn't as huge as a mansion or in any way it'd be described in those romantic books, but it was huge. Enough to pass as a family house. There were eight rooms in total, and each room was exquisite. The floors were made with beautiful oak wood, and there were glass windows

Third Person's P.O.VThe couple hurried into the cabin soaked to the core, but that didn't stop them from laughing happily at each other."See, I told you we had to leave, but you didn't listen to me." Thorne rebuked her playfully, to which she stuck her tongue out at him."Oh please, you enjoyed it as much as I did.""That I did." Aurelia snickered at him.He noticed her shiver slightly, which caused her to worry; the damn woman was stubborn, and she never listened. "Are you cold?" He asked as he walked up to her, and she nodded in response."Barely, but it was worth it." She smiled happily at him. For that smile it was, and he'd do it over and over again, hopefully without the rain."Pull off your clothes and come sit by the fire; we're the only ones in the house." Her eyes sparkled with mischief."That eager to see me naked, huh?" She teased.Playing along, he answered, "Always." While he went up into the house, she pulled off her gown and swollen sweater, placing them close to the

AURELIA'S P.O.VIt wasn't until the early hours of the next morning before we got home. Thorne and I had shared a few kisses in the car before we entered the house.Most of the lights were off, save for a few, which meant everyone was asleep. I had just reached the kitchen area when I felt a tug pulling me back into a broad chest."Ugh, can we go back?" Thorne groaned, his chest vibrating as he spoke. I giggled in response and then turned to face him."Unfortunately we can't, and I'm pretty sure it'd be hard for us to be alone together; it'd seem too suspicious."The lights outside cast enough light for me to see him pouting. He looked adorable."Well, I guess. But not for long, I hope.""Not for long, babe, we'll tell them. Soon." I reassured him, pecking his lips intending for it to be a short kiss, but he had other plans in mind as it soon turned heated. He backed me up into the island, hoisting me up by my thighs as it turned into a full-blown makeout. We were too immersed in ours

CELIA'S P.O.V.I was going crazy, surely I was. For what other reasonable explanation was there for me to go over to Ralph's place without informing him? I mean, we were on the outs, so there was definitely no way he'd welcome me, or was there? Anyways, I decided to fuck it and go anyways, so here I was, standing nervously as I waited for him to open the door, and when he did, I lost my ability to speak as I simply stared at him, wanting nothing more than to jump into his arms and make sweet love to him. He looked slightly different than I remembered, but handsome nonetheless."Hey, Celia. What are you doing here? I wasn't expecting you." He was confused; I wanted to smack myself in the face; this was a terrible idea."Uh, right. I'm sorry, I don't know why—I, um... I'll just get going." Embarrassed at myself, I wanted the ground to swallow me whole as I turned to leave."Wait, actually Cooper and I were having drinks. Would you, uh, like to come in?" Turning to look at him, I see him
Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair Chapter 70.
AURELIA'S P.O.V.The past few weeks with Thorne and my baby have been beyond incredible. At first, I had found it hard to believe that we were actually together, like a family. Deep down I wished we were, but I knew that was all it could be, a wish. The blogs had captured our story and written it off as all sorts. How they had managed to get hold of what had transpired, I had no idea. Sometimes, I often found myself thinking about Caroline and how she'd fared, how life treated her in jail. I wouldn't say she hadn't deserved it, but at the same time, she was just a victim of failed love.Cee had to travel back home, leaving just Thorne and me. Currently, we lay entwined in each other's arms after a long night of lovemaking, careful not to wake the baby up."What's on your mind?" He asked, placing a kiss on my forehead."Nothing, just random thoughts." I shook my head with a smile as I snuggled impossibly closer into him. We fell into a comfortable silence, my eyes drooping shut as I fe

AURELIA'S P.O.VTrue to his words, Thorne was there when I awoke, still holding the baby in his arms. I smiled at the sight."Hey you." I drawled out, his attention now on me as he smiled. God, how did I survive all this time without him? I have no idea."Hey baby, sleep well?" He asked, and I nodded in response."Yeah, I did. Were you able to get any rest while being occupied with this one?" I nodded towards her."No, but I don't mind in the slightest. Holding her in my arms is like a dream come true.""I can tell; she's precious, isn't she?" "She's beyond precious; she's an angel." He answered, captivated by the little one."She looks like you." I raised a brow at him, "Oh, does she? I had a feeling she looked more like her father.""Perhaps, but she takes after you in looks. I'm going to have to put a leash on this one; can't have these savage men coming after my princess." I burst out in laughter; oh, I would pity anyone who would dare break her heart. They'd have Thorne to cont

AURELIA'S P.O.VHe was here, standing right before me after all this time. I wanted to leap into his arms so he could hold me and never let me go, but the cold look on his face hurt me. He looked anything but happy to see me. Who could blame him? After all, I had fled with his child without a word. I could only imagine the resentment he held towards me."I'll, uh, be outside." Celia cleared her throat as she picked up the baby, who babbled away. Awkward silence reigned upon us as soon as she left. I could barely look him in the eye even though I felt his burning gaze on me."Congratulations." He spoke up, his voice devoid of any emotion."Thanks, you too." I gave him a forced smile, which he didn't return; instead, he looked at me with a blank stare."How have you been?""Fine." I nodded as I went silent; I didn't know what to say. Do I apologize to him? Do I explain myself? Or do I just remain silent?Seeing as I hadn't said anything, he turned away."I'm sorry." I watched him tense

THORNE'S P.O.V"Your proposal sounds good, Mr. Scott, but-" I was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing. Staring at the unknown caller, I excused myself from the table."Hello?""Thorne?" Asked a familiar voice."Yes, this is he. Who am I speaking with?""It's Celia, and you need to listen to me carefully, okay? Don't panic." She spoke anxiously. How could the damn woman ask me not to panic when she sounded like she was on the verge of a panic attack? Women."What is it, Celia? Is it Aurelia? Is she okay?" In spite of her leaving me, I still loved her."Yes, I need you to take the first flight you can and come to Ireland." Ireland? She had been there all this while?"Lia's having the baby; she asked me to inform you." And just like that, everything around me ceased. The baby, she's having the baby. Isn't it too soon?"Send me the details now." I ordered as I hung up, dashing out of the room until I heard someone call my name."Mr. Mikaelson? Where are you off to in such a hurry?" T

AURELIA'S P.O.VThe months had dragged by painfully slowly. I was due any day now. At first it had been hard, being away from Thorne. At times I'd cry myself to sleep, but I always had Celia to console me. A few weeks after I had relocated, I heard on the news that Caroline had been convicted, having admitted to her crimes. And then I saw him; my heart thumped harder as I stared at him, so far yet so near. To anyone out there, he looked fine; he looked composed, but I knew better. I knew he was hurting inside. Celia had told me how he had begged and cried for her to tell him where I was. In her words, he was devastated to learn of my disappearance. It broke me to know that I had hurt him so deeply, but it was for the best. Being together hurt me, and I needed to heal.I had begun writing a new book, which I was currently occupied with when I heard the doorbell ring. With furrowed brows, I checked my phone before looking at my cat, who lay on the bed next to me, seemingly asleep.The d

THORNE'S P.O.VTaking a swing of my drink, I belched. Alcohol had become my bestfried ever since she left me. I laughed bitterly. She left me, even after everything we had been through. She just up and left without a word. Filled with anger, I there the bottle at the wall, watching as I shattered to pieces. Staggering blindly, I troed going up to my room but fell at the bottom of the stairs. Having no strength in me, I laid there and cried like a pathetic child. I bet Caroline would have had a good laugh had she seen me like that. When I had discovered she has left, I was scared at first, I had thought something bad had happened. Perhaps someone had taken her once more, but then I looked through the apartment and realized she was gone. She had left me.I had tried calling her, but she was unreachable, so I had opted for the next option, Celia. But she had been adamant about telling me where she was even after I had cried, begged, and yelled at her. Frustratedly, I had hung up and driv
Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair Chapter 64.
AURELIA'S P.O.VThorne had been upset when he had learned that I had gone to see Caroline. After he had calmed down, I explained to him that I needed to because there was no way I could move on without speaking to her, which he understood. I had inquired about Cooper, and he had said that he had refused to talk to him. He had spent the day with me just talking about everything and anything, most especially that he couldn't wait to see the baby. His eyes would light up in happiness whenever he felt the baby kick. As he prepared to leave with the promise to return the following day, I had pulled him close and kissed him as if I never would, or perhaps I won't. He had expressed his surprise, but I simply brushed it off as nothing. Sharing one last kiss, he left.As soon as he left, I went into my room and cried for a few minutes before gathering myself and fishing out my box. One by one, I threw in everything I had into the box when I heard the doorbell ring. Afraid, I hurriedly hid the
Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair Chapter 63.
AURELIA'S P.O.VAfter spending two days in the hospital, I was allowed to leave. Celia had cried when she saw me lying on the hospital bed, apologizing over and over again after claiming it was her fault I got kidnapped. After she had finally calmed down, I narrated what had happened. At first, she was shocked at the news of Caroline being my birth mother, and then the shock gave way to anger. She was beyond pissed and wanted to wring Caroline's neck.She had helped me home and pampered me to no end; Thorne had also spent the majority of his time with me. I had learned from him that Cooper had been released on bail, and I was relieved; I hated the thought of him being punished for what he had been unknowingly coerced to do. Caroline was the mastermind behind it all, and she was the one who was supposed to pay, not Cooper. At first I had thought it to be sweet when Thorne and Cee had been extremely protective of me; surprisingly, even Ralph dropped by, but then it gradually became anno
