All Chapters of Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

AURELIA'S P.O.VA month had passed since my last meeting with Thorne and my conversation with Celia. I was now sixteen weeks gone, and I couldn't wait to give birth. Sometimes I cherished being pregnant, being able to rub my belly affectionately knowing there was a life growing inside me, and besides, it also gave me an excuse to spend more time with Thorne, even though technically we didn't need one since we were together-ish. We'd been sneaking around for the past month, and even though it had been exciting, I couldn't help but grow nervous around Cooper in fear of him finding out my secret. What if he came across my texts with Thorne? What if he suspected something was going on? Just, what if? The paranoia got to me sometimes, which didn't slip past Thorne as he'd always try to put me at ease by telling me that no one knew about us, and I tried so fucking hard to believe him. But sometimes, I couldn't help but feel as if I was constantly being watched, and I didn't mean by neighbor

AURELIA'S P.O.VLetting out a tired sigh, I finish up with my cleaning as I wipe the last surface of my kitchen, scanning the room for the last time as I let out a tired yawn. Thorne had been with me the entire night until this morning, helping me clean up the mess of the previous night as I was too tired to do so, and I wasn't ready to be faced with things that'd only serve as a reminder of the unfortunate incident. He was quite reluctant to leave my side even when he received an urgent phone call that required his immediate attention. He had still been reluctant to leave me, claiming there was nothing as important as being with me."Fuck the meeting, baby; it can wait, but you can't. I can't afford to leave you all by yourself unprotected." He had argued defiantly, worry etched clearly on his tired face as he held me in his arms."I'll be fine, baby, I promise. And besides, I can always call Celia or Cooper if need be." I had almost instantly regretted mentioning Cooper as I watched

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.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

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
