Chapter 21: Not for sale

Mario’s eyes widened as he shot up from his seat, his expression caught between shock and forced enthusiasm.“Aurora! What a surprise! I had no idea you were back!” he said, feigning delight.Aurora smirked, tilting her head slightly. “Didn’t you? I’m pretty sure we sent you an invitation to my wedding. You never showed up.” She glanced around the room. “I can see why—you’ve been busy.”Mario chuckled nervously. “Ah, Aurora, this is nothing, really. Just a simple business discussion. Should we talk outside?” He took a step toward her as if trying to steer her away.Aurora raised an eyebrow. “About what? About selling the company?”Mario stiffened. His nervous chuckle faltered. “O-Oh… Haha! No! Of course not!” He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. “Let’s talk outside,” he whispered, his tone more urgent, his face now serious.Aurora was amused by how desperate Mario was to stop her from speaking in front of the guests. Ignoring him, she turned her attention to the three individual

Chapter 22: Status

Aurora sat in her new office, her fingers drumming against the polished mahogany desk as she planned her next move. The events from earlier still lingered in her mind—her uncle’s betrayal, the attempted sale of the company, and the unexpected mention of Lucian’s interest in Lancaster Tech Innovations. Too much was at stake for her to waste any time. She needed to understand exactly what was happening within the company.She took out her tablet from her bag and put on her earpiece. The screen flickered to life, and soon, Red’s animated emoji face appeared.“Hello, Master! Do you need something?” Red’s lively voice chimed through the speakers.Aurora nodded. “Yes. Can you connect to LTI’s system?”“Of course, Master! It’s easy! Do you want me to proceed?”“Go on.”The screen shifted, displaying a series of flashing codes and security bypasses. Within moments, Red had successfully hacked into LTI’s system, granting Aurora access to everything—internal files, financial reports, and even t

Chapter 23: The Opening

Aurora stood before the vast glass window of her new office, the city lights below twinkling like stars captured in the night sky. The weight of the past few weeks settled on her shoulders—not with exhaustion, but with a deep, undeniable satisfaction. Lancaster Tech Innovations was back. And it was hers.She had spent countless hours undoing the damage her uncle had inflicted. One by one, she reinstated the talented employees he had unjustly fired—those who had once made LTI the powerhouse it used to be. She personally oversaw the restructuring of departments, making sure that no trace of Mario’s corruption remained. The siphoned funds? Retrieved. The reputation? Slowly, but steadily, being rebuilt.Now, Lancaster Tech Innovations was no longer a crumbling empire. It was standing tall again, its doors wide open to the public. And tonight, the world would witness its rebirth.A grand reopening gala had been arranged in her honor, marking her official return as CEO. It wasn’t just a par

Chapter 24: To the future

The party buzzed with energy around Aurora, yet she felt disconnected from it all. The endless conversations, the clinking of glasses, the polite smiles—none of it truly reached her.For over an hour, she had stood among the city’s elite, shaking hands with businessmen and women who had once dismissed her. Now, they were eager to be in her presence, their words filled with flattery and shallow admiration. Yet to her, their voices were nothing more than background noise.Her feet ached, her legs burned from the constant standing, but the real exhaustion ran deeper. It was the weight of the charade, the ceaseless political games, the carefully measured words and masked intentions.She needed a moment. Just a brief pause.Scanning the grand hall, bathed in golden light from the chandeliers above, her gaze landed on her table—a quiet corner, untouched by the main commotion. Without hesitation, she made her way toward it, her stiletto heels clicking softly against the marble floor.Finally

Chapter 25: What happened?

“Ethan? Ethan!”Vanessa banged on the door of Ethan’s apartment, her frustration boiling over. She had been trying to reach him for days, but he ignored all her calls and messages. Ever since they learned about Aurora’s true identity, Ethan had completely shut her out.“Ethan! Fuck!”She kicked the door in frustration, but there was no response. Growling under her breath, she tried entering the passcode, only to realize—she didn’t know it.Her jaw clenched. Ethan wasn’t in his penthouse, the one where he used to take her. That much she had already checked. Luckily, his secretary had let it slip that Ethan also owned a condo unit where he sometimes stayed.A condo she hadn’t even known about.That alone made her blood boil.“You are really testing my patience, Ethan! Why are you doing this?!” she shouted, slamming her fist against the door once more.Before she could start yelling again, a man approached her, his expression disapproving.“Excuse me, miss? You can’t do that.”Vanessa whi

Chapter 26: Showtime

"Ms. Lancaster, Mr. Calloway is at the lobby again. Demanding to see you."Aurora looked up from her documents, her gaze landing on Beth, her human secretary. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips as she placed the papers down and leaned back in her chair.Ethan had been relentless. Over the past few weeks, he had repeatedly tried to get close to her, each time under the pretense of business. But Aurora knew better. He wanted more than just a business partnership. He wanted control."What does he need this time?" she asked lazily, twirling a pen between her fingers.Beth sighed, clearly unimpressed. "He wants to discuss a project with you. Says it’s urgent."Aurora rolled her eyes. "Of course, it’s urgent." She took a moment before making her decision. "Fine. Send him to the meeting room. I’ll come when I’m done here."Beth nodded. "Right away, Ma’am."Aurora watched as her secretary left the office, then let out a small chuckle. Ethan was persistent—desperate, even. It was almost e

Chapter 27: Deal

Aurora pushed open the glass door of the meeting room, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Ethan stood up immediately, a practiced smile spreading across his face."Aurora! Thank you for—""I'm giving you five minutes, Mr. Calloway. What do you need?" Aurora cut in, her voice cold and impassive. She strode to the head of the table and took a seat, her posture commanding.Ethan cleared his throat, caught off guard by her abruptness. He wasn't used to this side of her. He settled into the chair beside her, attempting to mask his irritation."How have you been? I've been calling, but—"Aurora raised a hand, silencing him. "If you're here to waste my time with pleasantries, you can leave now. Consider yourself lucky I’m giving you five minutes at all."Ethan’s jaw clenched, his grip tightening on the folder in his hands. The shift in her demeanor was unnerving. The woman who once tiptoed around him, soft-spoken and eager to please, was gone. In her place sat someone he barely r

Chapter 28: Do you want her back?

Beth barely had time to knock before pushing open the office door, her face tight with urgency."Ms. Lancaster, there's an issue at the lobby."Aurora didn’t even glance up from the tablet she was reading. "What is it this time?"Beth swallowed, choosing her words carefully. "It’s Ms. Steele. She’s making a scene, demanding to see you. She insists Mr. Calloway is here, but the receptionist has told her otherwise. She won’t listen."Aurora exhaled slowly, placing the tablet down with a quiet tap. "Of course, she won’t. Where is Mr. Calloway now?""He left moments ago."Aurora stood, smoothing out the front of her blazer as she strode toward the door. "Let’s get this over with."At the LobbyVanessa was at the center of the commotion, her voice sharp as she leaned over the receptionist’s desk."I know he’s here!" she snapped, her perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently against the counter. "Don’t you dare lie to me. Ethan wouldn’t come here without a reason, and I demand to know w

Chapter 29: Lies to tell oneself

Ethan’s grip on Vanessa’s wrist was firm but not forceful as he pulled her through the automatic doors of the building. The moment they stepped into the parking lot, she yanked her arm free, spinning around to face him."What the hell, Ethan?" she seethed, rubbing her wrist as if he had burned her. "Are you seriously dragging me out like some—some crazed woman?!"Ethan exhaled sharply, running a frustrated hand through his hair. His patience had been stretched thin, and the spectacle Vanessa had just put on only made things worse."You are acting like a crazed woman," he shot back. "Storming into Aurora’s company, screaming accusations in front of her employees? Do you even realize how humiliating that was?"Vanessa’s eyes flashed with anger. "Humiliating? You think I care about humiliation when my fiancé is sneaking around with his ex?" She took a step closer, jabbing a finger against his chest. "Tell me, Ethan. What were you really doing here? Why do you need her so badly?"Ethan’s

Chapter 30: Dinner Date

Aurora sat across from Lucian at their usual restaurant, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of her wine glass. The place was intimate, dimly lit with soft jazz playing in the background, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of stress that had consumed her entire day. This weekly dinner with Lucian was supposed to be a break from it all—a moment where she could breathe, let go, and not have to think about boardroom battles, hostile takeovers, or the ghosts of her past clawing their way back into her present.But tonight, it wasn’t working.Lucian leaned back in his chair, swirling the whiskey in his glass as he watched her with an amused yet knowing expression. "You’ve been silent for too long," he mused. "That’s never a good sign."Aurora exhaled, setting her glass down. "I’m just tired."He raised an eyebrow. "Tired or pissed off?"Aurora smirked, but there was no humor in it. "Both."Lucian leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. "Tell me."She hesitated for a moment, deba
