Chapter: Chapter 29: You will understand Aurora’s POV I stepped out of the kitchen and immediately slowed down when I saw Marissa. She was sitting confidently on the sofa. Did she appear from the space? If I hadn’t seen her before, I would have thought it was a ghost. There was no sound of her arrival, just her presence suddenly filling the room like she had always been there. This was the first time I was seeing her and Logan in the same space, and it didn’t take long to notice something was wrong. Logan wasn’t welcoming her, not even trying to pretend. His posture was controlled, but there was tension in it, he clearly didn’t want to show too much of his... should I call it hatred? Diva was completely gone. Just minutes ago she was in this same house, acting like she belonged, like she owned the place next to him, and now she had vanished so cleanly it almost felt intentional. That alone told me everything I needed to

Chapter: Chapter 28: Distance Aurora’s POV I didn’t move from the door. It was easier pretending the wood between us meant something than admitting it didn’t. I told myself I stayed because I wanted to. Because I chose not to run again. But the truth was messier than that. Running didn’t feel like freedom anymore. It felt like repeating the same mistake in different places, different rooms, same fear following me anyway. So I stayed still and called it control. Nothing about me felt like it used to. I could still remember who I was before all this, but it felt distant now, like trying to hold onto a version of myself that didn’t survive whatever this was becoming. That girl would have walked out already. She would have said something sharp, something final. I didn’t know how to be her anymore. A knock came. “I know you’re in there,” his voice came through the door, I know the knock was just to confirm maybe I am still w

Chapter: Chapter 27: I wasn't sure anymoreAurora’s POV) I didn’t know how much longer I could take this. Every time Diva opened her mouth, poison spilled out. Every time Logan spoke, it was a blade and it always cut me. The first argument started small. Something about me not joining breakfast. “She needs to be more social,” Diva said, her voice soft feigning concern. “She’s new here,” Logan replied, his tone calm, but his words felt like a verdict. “Maybe you’re right, Diva. She should make more effort.” My blood boiled. “Are you serious?” I snapped. “You know why I didn’t come down” “That’s enough, Aurora.” His voice was like a steel door slamming shut. “Don’t start.” And just like that, the conversation ended with me choking on anger, and Diva smiling like a cat with cream on her whiskers. The next fight was worse. “She ignored me again today,” Diva said one evening, her hand resting so casually on Logan’s arm that I wanted to rip it off. I wish she was gone because she was getting on my nerves, wasn't it a

Chapter: Chapter 26: Strength to surviveAurora’s POV The first day she moved in, I told myself I could handle it. That I could stay calm, act mature, ignore her games. But Diva wasn’t just a storm, she was a hurricane dressed in silk, tearing apart every piece of peace I had left in this gilded cage. It started small. Smiles that didn’t touch her eyes, compliments that stung like poison. “Oh, Aurora,” she’d say sweetly whenever Logan was around, her voice dripping with honey. “You’re so… simple. It’s refreshing, really.” Simple. Refreshing. Like a cheap glass of water next to her expensive wine. Logan never reacted, never corrected her. His expression gave nothing away. And that silence? It burned worse than her words. But when he left the house, her mask slipped. “You’re really not his type, you know,” she said one morning, blocking the doorway to the dining room like a queen guarding her throne. “You should stay in your room. No need to embarrass yourself at breakfast.” I clenched my fists so hard my nails du

Chapter: Chapter 25: NO!Aurora’s POV Two days. That’s how long I’ve kept my door locked, refusing to face him. Refusing to face the memory of what almost happened the way his lips felt, the hunger in his touch, and the terrifying truth that I wanted it. I buried myself under layers of sheets, ignoring the soft knocks, the trays of food left outside my door, and the shadow that lingered in the hallway at night. Logan didn’t come storming in like I expected. He didn’t break the door or drag me out like a man who believed he owned me. That silence? It was worse than his temper. But peace never lasts in this house. Not with him. The knock today was different light, rhythmic, followed by the creak of the door swinging open without my permission. My head shot up, ready to scream, but the voice that floated in wasn’t his. “Aurora,” Diva purred, stepping in like she owned the place. I sat up, startled. She was stunning as always, dressed in silk the color of blood, her hair a waterfall of glossy black cu

Chapter: Chapter 24: Say it againAurora’s POV His breath was everywhere. On my skin. In my ears. Wrapping around me like a chain I couldn’t break. Steam curled between us, fogging the mirrors, making the room feel smaller, hotter, like the air itself was conspiring against me. Logan’s hand traced down my arm slowly, deliberately, igniting every nerve like wildfire. “Stop trembling,” he murmured, his voice a low growl that vibrated through my bones. “You wanted to know why I bring you to dark places, why I keep you close… It’s because this world will eat you alive if you don’t belong to someone stronger. And you, Aurora…” His fingers tilted my chin upward, his piercing gaze locking on mine. “You belong to me.” My breath hitched when his lips grazed my temple. A soft kiss, then another, trailing down to my jaw. My heart thundered, traitorous and loud, as heat surged through me like molten metal. I wanted to push him away, scream at him but my body betrayed me. Every inch burned for him, the scent of his cologne
