Semua Bab The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage : Bab 81 - Bab 90

AIDEN'S POV Three hours later, my friends were finally gone. I climbed up the stairs, taking them quickly. I was forty five thousand dollars richer and a lot more likely to punch Daniel Sterling in the face for his bad advice. Why did I put surveillance on my wife? I already knew she was going to do whatever she wanted. And what did Daniel know about women anyway? He hated the idea of them, unless they were his stepmother and sister. I didn’t bother with pretending to get ready for bed. I went straight to Aurora's room and knocked on her door. After knocking three times and getting no answer, I pushed the door open a little. The room was empty. “Petar!” I yelled so loud my throat hurt and probably broke the windows. My estate manager was there in seconds, clearly surprised to hear me yell. I was searching through her closet, trying to see if she left any of her important things. The things she cared about most. She hadn’t. Damn it! “Sir, do you need anything?” Petar asked f

AURORA'S POV I grabbed the cheap bottle of wine, was it our fourth or fifth?. I can't even remember as I poured a big amount into my glass. “The worst part is that I still love him. I have always loved him. The first time I saw him at that charity party Sandy made us go because she didn’t want to be alone with Henry, and from the day I laid eyes on Aiden I knew he was the one for me. I also knew one day he would take my heart, burn it, and walk all over the ashes when he was done. I’d known it the moment I stared at him while he was looking at Annabelle from across the room. He was lost in my sister, but I found everything I wanted in him.” “Aiden never looks straight at what he wants,” Ariella said, squeezing my hand. “He says wanting something is a weakness and If he really wanted Annabelle, he wouldn’t have looked at her.” “I don’t know what to do.” I dropped my head to my knees and sighed. “I told him I want a divorce after the Green Living case is over. I have to leave. Lea

AURORA'S POV And there it was. The bottom line. The big plan we both had for me being here. “Of course. You guys are like family to me.” The Lannisters, but whatever. I whispered under my breath. Herold turned around and went back to his office. I handed Tree and Tinder their gifts, with Morgana standing next to us. I motioned for her to join us. She did. “Thank you, you shouldn’t have.” She bent down. “I know you save every penny.” “I love the boys.” Tinder opened his first gift. It was a chewing necklace, shaped like shark teeth. He yelped in happiness, holding it out to his mother. “C-can you put it on me, Mommy?” She stared at him for a moment, surprised and I could tell she didn’t have many moments like this with her children. “I… of course. Turn around, sweetie.” I watched them as Tree opened his gift which was a bike helmet and started talking excitedly about how he wanted a motorcycle when he grew up. Morgana’s hands shook as she put the necklace on her son’s

AURORA'S POV Please give me an emotion. Any emotion just to show that you care. I pleaded with him in mind because I was too scared to say the words out loud. “And I shouldn’t have broken the contract,” he said roughly, looking away from me. “I trust you.” “Bullshit,” I said, choking on a dry laugh. He didn’t say anything. I started to realize that nothing I said or did would change his mind about people. About me. He couldn’t feel things, and pushing him to love me would only make him hate me. Even now, he didn’t want me because he cared. Only because I was easy for him. A way to get what he needed. “You’re not leaving". I grabbed my bag, throwing it over my shoulder and turning to leave. “I’m sorry.” He walked toward me, growling. “Sorry for what?” “For changing the rules. For breaking the contract. For asking for more. I know I was wrong. I want you to marry someone who gives you what you want. Someone who is okay with what you’re willing to give. I’m not that person.

AURORA'S POV “What the fuck are you doing here?” The F bomb wasn’t something I used often, but I had to say it for this moment. My body shook so much, I had to grab the door handle to stop myself from falling. My ex husband stood in front of me, looking way too healthy, tan, muscled, and seemed to still have all his teeth for someone who had been running for the past year. And even his blond hair was curly, and his soulful eyes blinked at me. “Sweet heart, Fuck, you look just as gorgeous as I remember. Holy shit, Aurora. Look at you.”.” His lips curved into a smile, and he sighed. He took my hands, bringing them to his mouth, laughing. Tears filled his sparkling eyes. I was too shocked to push him away. Thomas was here. In person. After hundreds of missed calls, emails, and sleepless nights. My head was full of questions. Where had he been? When did he come back? How did he get into my building? There was a doorman downstairs. Mostly, I wanted to know why. Why did he leave me
