Aurora’s Pov When I heard the knocking, my heart jumped into my throat. My palms were sweaty as I tightened my grip around the baseball bat I had bought earlier that day. It felt silly, holding a piece of wood as a weapon against someone like Ryan, but it was better than feeling helpless. I didn’t want to see him, but here he was. He knocked again, calling my name, his voice steady yet firm. “Aurora, I know you’re in there. Open the door.” My heart raced as I stood near the door, willing my breathing to quiet down. Maybe if I stayed silent, he’d leave. But then, his voice became more commanding, “Open the door, or I’ll break it down.” Panic set in. I pressed myself against the wall, clutching the bat tighter. He wouldn’t actually break the door, would he? The sound of the lock snapping answered my question. My knees almost gave out as the door swung open, and there he stood. Ryan, in all his infuriating, terrifying, breathtaking presence. When his eyes landed on the baseball bat

Aurora’s PovWe stayed like that for a while, me lying on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was oddly soothing, and I almost fell asleep.But then I stirred, lifting my head to look at him. His eyes met mine, soft and full of something I couldn’t quite name. Before I could say anything, he leaned in and kissed my forehead gently.Then, without warning, he scooped me up in his arms, carrying me as if I weighed nothing.“What are you doing, Ryan?” I asked softly, instinctively wrapping my arms around his neck to steady myself.“I’m carrying you to the bedroom,” he replied, his voice calm and confident.“Why?” I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly.“So you can sleep,” he said, then smirked. “Or… do you want us to do something else? I’m down for it.”My cheeks burned at his words, and I quickly looked away.“Stop it,” I muttered, covering my face with one hand.He chuckled quietly, the sound deep and warm, before he carried me into the bedroom. He placed me gent

Aurora’s povRyan left for a business meeting, and I got back to work. I took short breaks here and there until it was finally time to leave. He had left me in Jamie’s care.He’s such a romantic. I couldn’t help but smile."You're thinking about him, aren’t you?" Sophie’s voice startled me. I hadn’t even noticed when she walked in."When did you get in?" I asked, quickly trying to wipe the blush off my face."I knocked three times, and you didn’t open up. I decided to let myself in and caught you daydreaming. I even called your name," she said, standing there with her arms crossed."I wasn’t daydreaming," I said casually as I stood up and started packing my things to leave."Are you guys dating now?" she asked out of nowhere."Who? What are you talking about?" I asked, pretending not to know what she meant."I’m talking about the boss.""Oh… umm… we aren’t dating," I said quickly."But he kissed you. In front of everyone. And you guys looked like you were about to make out when I came

Ryan’s Pov This cannot be happening. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My heart pounded in my chest, fear clawing at me like a beast I could not fight. I kept glancing at the back seat where Aurora lay motionless, her face pale, her body too still. "Aurora, stay with me. Please," I whispered, but my voice cracked. She did not move. She did not respond. No, she cannot be gone. She cannot leave me like this. The hospital was too far. Why did it have to be so far? As soon as I reached the entrance, I slammed the car into park and threw the door open. I ran to the back seat, my hands trembling as I gathered her in my arms. She was limp, her body lifeless against mine. I held her close as I rushed inside, my voice echoing through the building. "Someone help her now!" A group of nurses came running with a stretcher. One of them, a woman with worried eyes, looked at me and said, "Put her

Aurora’s Pov Was I dead?I tried moving, forcing my eyes open, but my body screamed in protest. The pain was unbearable, radiating through every inch of me like fire licking at my skin.Nope. Definitely not dead.My eyelids felt heavy, as if they’d been sealed shut for years. It took effort, but finally, I pried them open. The room around me was unfamiliar, blurry at first, and when I tried turning my head for a better look, I realized I couldn’t move much. My muscles felt like they had been filled with lead.Where was I?Panic bubbled up in my chest, but before I could let it consume me, my gaze landed on a familiar figure. Ryan.He stood by the massive window, his back facing me. The window was so large it almost looked like a door, casting long shadows across the dimly lit room. The sight of him should have comforted me, but confusion still clawed at my mind.I tried to call out his name, but my throat was so dry, my voice barely came out. Before I could try again, Ryan turned sud
