Aurora’s eyes opened with the same disturbing questions that deprived her of sleep throughout the night. ‘Do I love him? Does he like me?’ She hated why and how these questions kept taunting her after Theo had mentioned it. She wanted to figure out what she felt so badly. ‘Why didn’t I deny it more than I did last night? Why didn’t I think about betraying Jimmy when he was kissing me?? Why Mr. Arthur? I hate that man.’ With these thoughts and mixed feelings, Aurora got out of bed to get ready for another day in Arthur’s house. In no time, she cleaned up and wore a comfortable outfit of shirt and pants that would help her work easily. Hitting the hallway, she headed right for the boys' room, only for her to hear their voices in the living room. ‘They are awake so early?’ She thought as she made her way downstairs. Getting down the stairs, Rowan’s gaze fell on her. “Mummy!” He called in excitement, calling the attention of everyone to her, including Arthur’s to her. “Mummy!” T
After dropping the children at school, Aurora found her way home, while Arthur headed to his office. He settled down and got busy with work almost immediately, but he couldn’t pay attention for so long after Derick showed up. “Hey, man,” Derick uttered as he walked into his office. “Derick?” Arthur called in surprise as he raised his head to look at him. Though they were both in town, they hardly saw each other anymore. They were both busy and stuck with work. “You’re surprised, aren’t you? Well, I figured if I didn’t make any to visit you, you’d never do the same, and then we’d never see each other again, and I don’t want that to happen. That’s why I’m here this morning.” Derick rapped as he settled down on his office couch. “What are you even saying?” Arthur scoffed, shaking his head. “You know exactly what I’m saying. You’re so bad when it comes to keeping relationships. One has to work harder to make it work, and I happen to be that guy. But don’t worry, I’ve grown to be us
Aurora, covered in nervousness, opened her room door and walked in with her hands folded in front of her. Behind her was Arthur, walking into her room with his hands buried in his pockets. Getting into the room, Aurora turned to look at Arthur, who was busy looking around like he had never been in there before. “So tell me what you and Theo have been doing in this room.” He uttered, folding his arms on his chest. Aurora heaved a loud sigh and shook her head. “I told you we don’t do anything. We just chat and laugh.” She responded tiredly. “That’s all you do? If that’s all, why are you two on bad terms now?” Arthur further questioned, walking closer to Aurora, burying his hands in his pockets again. Aurora said nothing and kept moving back as Arthur didn’t stop moving closer to her. “You are not sleeping with him, are you? You’re sleeping with my butler in my own house!” Arthur smacked as Aurora hit her back against the window. “We are not f**king!” Aurora yelled in response, b
“Gladly.” Derick grabbed Carter’s face in his hands and covered his lips with his. Without hesitation, Carter opened up his mouth to receive him. Moaning softly, their lips entangled and entwined, creating cute little sounds as they both fought for dominance. Derick reached for Carter’s shirt and began to unbutton it, while Carter reached for Derick’s pants and unbuckled his belt. Before he could pull his pants down his legs, Derick got his hands off him and lifted him, letting him wrap his legs around his torso. A smile flashed across Carter’s face as he balanced his weight on Derick’s body and went in for the kiss again. His hands grabbed into Derick’s hair, pulling and pushing him in and out as they both devoured each other. Without breaking off the kiss, Derick began to head to his room. He could feel Carter’s hardened manhood press against him as he lifted him. And it was the same for Carter, as Derick’s shaft kept teasing him from under. After a few minutes, Carter bro
“Mom! Dad!” The boys called as they walked into the living room to meet Aurora and Arthur sleeping on the couch. Arthur’s eyes slowly opened as their voices filled his ears. He groaned softly as he grabbed his head and slowly looked around. He furrowed his brows as soon as he saw that his head was on Aurora’s chest. Without thinking twice, he got away from her, and in the process, woke her up. Aurora moaned as she also opened her eyes. Though she managed to get some sleep, she was still very sleepy. She was up most of the night because Arthur wouldn’t stop throwing up and sulking like a baby. “Mom!” Ryan called again as they both hurried to meet them. Arthur gulped hard and tried as much as he could to avoid looking at Aurora. He knew what went down the previous night even though he was drunk, and he also wasn’t ready to talk about it with her. “We are ready for school!” Riley uttered, showing them his backpack. “Oh! That’s great. Uncle Theo took care of you?” Aurora asked tire
After Derick left Arthur’s mansion, Aurora returned to Arthur’s room to check on him, and getting there, she found him still sleeping soundly. She approached his bed silently so as not to wake him up and carefully sat on the edge of the bed. She stared at his face as she began to recall everything Derick had told her about him again. She had no idea who Anita was or what she looked like but she hated her so much for hurting Arthur so much. She wished she had met the old, loving, Arthur. Derick made her realize how soft he used to be. “I can’t wait for you to go back to the man you used to be, Mr. Arthur. If that’s even going to ever happen.” She muttered, racing her index finger over his face. Arthur’s eyes tightened as soon as he felt Aurora touch him. His eyes slightly parted, causing Aurora to hastily move away from the bed. “Mr. Arthur.” She called softly. Arthur clenched his jaws as he stretched out, turning to lay on his side. “What are you doing here?” He asked in a lo
Placing his soup on the table, Aurora sat at the dining table and waited for him to dive in. She couldn’t stop smiling, believing she and Arthur just had a moment in the kitchen. “Do you have to watch me eat?” Arthur asked, picking up the spoon and scooping some soup. “Yes. I have to make sure you finish all of it. It will help your hangover and fever.” Aurora answered. He heaved a sigh and slowly nodded, covering the spoon with his mouth as he took some porridge in. Arthur's face lit up again in reaction to the taste of the porridge satisfying his taste buds even more than it did when he tasted it in the kitchen. “Why does the taste of my food cause a reaction on your face all the time?” Aurora asked with a chuckle, and he smirked. “Maybe because it tastes so good? Where did you learn how to cook?” He asked. “Well, I didn’t learn it. I kept doing it over and over again until I got better. My mother isn’t such a great mother, so she hardly cooked for me even when I was young.
“But if you want to go, then you can go. I can just call my doctor.” Arthur mumbled, trying to reach for his phone. “I already canceled on him, Arthur. I can’t go back again.” Aurora answered, dropping her bag and rushing into the bathroom to get the water and towel. When she was out of the room, Arthur turned to look at Ryan and chuckled. “This stays between us.” He whispered to him. “Chocolate?” Ryan asked, stretching his hand to him. “Ask Theo to give all of you. He still has some chocolates in the store.” He answered, still speaking in a low tone. The boys excitedly got off the bed and ran out of the room to fetch Theo. As soon as Aurora came out of the bathroom, Arthur pointed to the door. “Can you please lock that? I don’t want the boys coming to disturb me again.” Arthur said to her, and she nodded, heading to the door to lock it. Locking the door, she approached Arthur’s bed and sat next to him, placing the bowl of water on the bedside table. While she soaked the tow
