AURELIA'S P.O.V

He 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

    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.VStepping out of the shower wrapped in my towel, I sit in front of my vanity table before pulling out my hair dryer from one of the drawers and then blow drying my hair. Staring back at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but think if I was doing the right thing. A part of me believed that I was but then another part of me knew that I wasn't, I wasn't ready for this next step. Nevertheless, I style my hair after blow drying and then coat my face with just the right amount of make-up. Satisfied with my look, I step into my white body con strap dress and silver heels. Spritzing my perfume, I take in a deep breath as I try to alleviate my anxiety. "It's all gonna be okay Aurelia, you love Cooper...heck you've loved him since college so there should be no problem...yeah" I met Cooper when we were in College, he was a friend to my friends boyfriend. My friend Celia and her boyfriend Ralph, his friend Cooper who's now my boyfriend, and I all linked up in a bar/cl

    AURELIA'S P.O.VHalfway into cutting my steak, I hear Thorne's voice, I should totally not call him that, "So Aurelia, how did you and Cooper meet?" "Well uh, it was through a friend that we met. My bestfriend's dating Cooper's friend and she suggested that we all went on a double date. Things sort of just hit off from there." Underneath the table, Cooper grabs my hand and rubs it softly as I look at him with a smile which he reciprocates."Awwn aren't they so cute." Caroline coos, and I blush in embarrassment before returning my attention back to my meal."Dad, Aurelia's actually a nurse and you wouldn't believe that she works at your hospital." My head snaps to look at him in surprise as I begin choking on a piece of meat at his words, why hadn't he ever mentioned this to me?"Easy there." Cooper rubs my back as he hands me a glass of water. "Oh really? Now that's a shocker. Beauty with brains.""I uh..I didn't know that Sir as Cooper never told me, but I must say I really love w

    Aurelia's P.O.VI feel a wave of emotions rush through me as I stood alone in the comfort of my bathroom, staring at the stick which showed two very clear lines indicating I was pregnant. This couldn't possibly be happening, I had been so sure that I had used a morning after pill after that night. No no no this couldn't be happening, what would I tell Cooper? Would he even accept it? It had been exactly two weeks since the dinner I had with Cooper and his parents and we hadn't been on the best of terms, safe to say I couldn't bring up the news of this pregnancy to him. Just then, I hear the sound of my doorbell so I place the pregnancy test on the sink and head for the door. As soon as I see who's on the other side, I let out a sigh of relief to which she hurriedly pulls me in for a hug as she closes the door behind her."Hey what's wrong Lia, you sounded terrified on the phone. Are you okay? Did anything happen to you or Cooper?" Celia's questions overwhelm me and I'm unable to utter

    Thorne's P.O.VSitting up in bed while resting against the bedhead, I glance down at a sleeping Caroline. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, irrespective of the fact that our marriage isn't what it used to be. There were happy times, times when we used to be madly in love, when it was just I, Caroline and our son. But things went downhill so quickly it's difficult to pinpoint when it all began. I notice her stirring awake and not wanting to be caught staring, I head into the bathroom to freshen up. The day's relatively normal with me overseeing the affairs of the hospital and soon enough I was back home getting ready to meet Cooper and his girlfriend."You clean up nice as always." I hear Caroline speak from behind me, causing me to look at her. She looked stunning as always."As do you." I say walking up to her, taking her hand in mine and bringing it closer to my lips for a kiss. "You look beautiful Care." I see her eyes soften for a moment, the wall built between us cracking b

    AURELIA'S P.O.VLaying on bed on my left side with my palm supporting my head, I can't help but nibble on my finger while staring out into space, the quiet bustle of the city reaching my ears while lost in thought. I had three months to tie the knot with Cooper, unconsciously, my eyes dart towards the direction of the shiny diamond ring sitting pretty on my bedside table, involuntarily I exhale deeply. As I continue to mule over the recent happenings, my alarm rings out snapping me out of my thoughts. Sluggishly, I drag myself out of bed making my way into the bathroom. Resting my palms on both sides of the wash-basin, I stare back at my reflection in the mirror and can't help but sigh again. I looked awful. Perhaps going to work would do me some good, take my mind off things. Taking my time, I slip under the shower allowing the cold water droplets soothe my nerves, washing away my worries for a moment. I spend about 20 minutes under the shower, just enjoying the serene calmness and

    AURELIA'S P.O.VFlipping through my nursing notepad, I smile in greeting at the few familiar faces as I strolled down the hospital hall, heading to check-up on my next patient. Approaching the private room, I knock twice alerting the patient of my presence before stepping into the room. Mrs Craig lay on the bed with a novel in hand, a pleasant smile stretching across her lips as she looks at me, I return the smile."Well hello there," I greet, pulling the side stool by the corner close to her bed and then plopping on it, "How are you feeling Mrs Craig?""I'm alive, I guess that counts for something." She grins mischievously, causing me to chuckle."Yeah I guess so, have you been abiding by the doctors' rules? No sweet foods?" I give her a playful stern look. Mrs Craig had been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. She had been rushed into the hospital as a result of a heart-attack but luckily she had been stabilized. At the age of 72 I'd say she was rather strong and agile, she was a fighte

If his aims were to ruffle my feathers then he had been more than successful.*Although, I cannot imagine how much more there is to see after that night Aurelia.* Those were his exact words, words which haunted me, kept me up at night which could only mean one thing. He remembered, and I had a feeling he wasn't gonna let it slide so easily.Needing to take my mind off things, I decide to get a pet to keep me company. I couldn't always depend on Celia to keep me company knowing she had her own life to manage, so I was going to get a pet....my very own baby.Soon enough, I had arrived at the pet shop and approached the lady behind the counter with a polite smile to which she returned."Hi, welcome to Milly's pet store. What can I do for you?" She chirped."Uh i'd like to get a pet.""Alright, do you have any particular pet in mind? Cats, dogs

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

    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

    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

    AURELIA'S P.O.VStanding at the entrance of the hallway was Thorne. The look on his face terrified me; he was out for blood; he was out for Caroline's blood. "I'll make you wish you had never been born." He spoke his words calmly, the resonance of the hall carrying his words across. But even in the calmness, one could easily hear the anger in it."I see you finally found us; no matter. My son and I were just deciding the fate of your whore." The evil bitch sneered at him, fishing out her gun, which she pointed at my head. Even Cooper seemed startled as he gasped."I swear to God, if you hurt her, I will bury you alive." Thorne promised, enunciating his words with each step he took."Mom, stop. This wasn't what we agreed on." Cooper panicked."Oh shut it, Cooper. I didn't raise you to be a weakling. We agreed to this.""No, we argued to make her suffer, to make them both suffer but not kill her." He argued defiantly."Kill her, make her suffer. Same thing, any way she dies.""She's yo

    AURELIA'S P.O.VThoughts filled my head, riddled in shock at the newfound discovery when she spoke again, "Shocked, I presume. I was also. How coincidental was it that my long-lost daughter was set to marry my son? Fate could really just be cruel." I felt disgusted with myself; I had slept with him. I had sex with my half-brother. What the fuck?"I guess it was destined that you and Cooper would never work out, one way or the other." Anger brewed in me as I looked at her repulsively."How could you? This is all your fault. You gave me away; you didn't give a crap about me. I was your daughter, even if I was born out of an affair. You're a hypocrite, behaving like you're a saint, like you had done no wrong, but your sins are the worst." I screamed at her, before chuckling, "I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, mother." She looked enraged but then smiled, stood up, and walked stealthily towards me. Facing her squarely, I braced myself for her hit, but it never came.
