Semua Bab Broken Vows, New Promises: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Damien’s POVThe steady beeping of the hospital monitors filled the silence of the room. I sat in the chair beside Aurora’s bed, my fingers entwined with hers. She was still weak, her body healing, but she was here. Alive. That was all that mattered.I had barely left her side since the moment she was brought in. My mind couldn’t rest, not with the image of her lying in a pool of blood haunting me. Victoria had crossed a line—one I would never forgive.But before I could set my revenge in motion, I had to deal with the one person I never expected to oppose me.My grandmother.The moment she entered the room, I felt the weight of her presence. Eleanor Volkov was a force to be reckoned with—an elegant, powerful woman whose quiet demeanor often hid her sharp mind and ruthless strategies. She had built an empire alongside my grandfather, and she knew the cost of power better than anyone.She walked toward me with measured steps, her silver hair pinned into a tight bun, her piercing blue e

Aurora’s POVThe tension in the hospital room was suffocating. Eleanor Volkov, Damien’s grandmother, stood with the grace of a woman who had spent her entire life commanding respect. Her gaze was firm yet compassionate as she turned toward Damien, who stood rigid beside my bed, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white."She’ll come with me," Eleanor declared, her voice leaving no room for argument. "I will guarantee her safety."I held my breath, watching Damien’s expression shift. A muscle ticked in his jaw, and I knew this wasn’t something he would agree to easily. He had spent every moment since my attack hovering, controlling, making sure I couldn’t take a step without him being there.And now, I was about to be taken from his grasp.Damien’s voice was low, sharp. "You want me to send her away? To leave her unprotected? After everything—""I will protect her," Eleanor interrupted. "She will be safer with me than anywhere else. And she needs to heal, Damien. You have

The scent of aged wine filled the air as I swirled the glass in my hand, watching the deep red liquid swirl like blood. Outside, the city was alive with lights, but inside my penthouse, the only thing burning was my rage.Aurora Laurent. A name that tasted like poison on my tongue.She had no right to be in Damien’s world, yet she clung to him, ruining everything I had spent years cultivating. She was an infection, one that needed to be cut out before it spread any further.Adrian Sinclair sat across from me, his own frustration evident in the way he gripped his glass. He had lost something too—his fiancée. And like me, he wasn’t willing to accept it.“She doesn’t belong there,” I murmured, my nails tapping rhythmically against the glass. “Aurora Laurent needs to disappear.”Adrian scoffed. “You act like I don’t know that already. I had her, Victoria. She was mine, and she threw it away. But I won’t let her go so easily.”I studied him for a moment before smirking. “Then let’s make su

Aurora’s heart pounded in her chest as she sat stiffly in Eleanor Volkov’s grand estate, her fingers tightening around the cup of tea in her hands. The events of the past few days had left her shaken, and no matter how much she tried to convince herself otherwise, she knew she wasn’t safe—not truly.Victoria and Adrian were still out there, circling like vultures, waiting for the right moment to strike. She had seen it in Adrian’s eyes that day at the gate—he wouldn’t stop until he had her back. And Victoria? She was a storm brewing in the distance, promising destruction.“Aurora,” Eleanor’s voice cut through her thoughts. The elderly woman’s sharp, knowing eyes assessed her carefully. “You’ve barely touched your tea.”Aurora forced a small smile. “I’m just a little distracted.”Eleanor sighed, setting down her cup. “You’re worried about them, aren’t you?”She nodded, unable to deny it. “I don’t know what they’ll do next.”Eleanor’s fingers tapped against the porcelain plate beside he

Aurora’s POVThe city lights blurred through my teary vision as I sat in the back of the sleek black car, my hands trembling in my lap. Adrian sat beside me, his gaze locked on me like a predator studying his prey."You’re making the right choice, Aurora," he murmured, reaching out to touch my hand. I flinched away, pressing myself against the door."This isn't a choice," I spat, my voice shaking with fury. "You forced me into this. You threatened Eleanor. You think that will make me trust you?"Adrian let out a slow exhale, running a hand through his hair. "I wouldn’t have had to if you had just come willingly. You used to love me."I scoffed, my nails digging into my palms. "Love you?" I turned to face him, my eyes burning. "You cheated on me, Adrian. You threw me away like I was nothing."His jaw clenched. "That was a mistake—""No," I cut him off sharply. "It wasn’t a mistake. It was a choice. You never loved me. You just needed sex, not love. You only care now because Damien want
