Chapter: Chapter 15: NiceAurora's POVThe ride back from the underground party was silent. Logan sat beside me in the sleek black car, his jaw sharp and clenched, his eyes staring out into the night as if searching for answers in the shadows. I, on the other hand, was drowning in questions.What kind of man had I married? I had glimpsed something tonight something ruthless behind those cold, aristocratic eyes. But then again, I had seen that same darkness the moment he forced me into this marriage.The city lights flickered past, reflecting off the tinted windows. My hands twisted nervously in my lap, the wedding band on my finger glinting mockingly in the dim interior.When we arrived home, I followed Logan into the mansion, my heels clicking on the marble floor like a countdown to my own doom. The staff bowed as we passed, their expressions carefully blank. It was as though they were trained not to see or perhaps too afraid to look.In the privacy of the bedroom, I finally broke the silence.“ Lord Logan,”

Chapter: Chapter 14: Who you belong toAurora's POVThe car rolled to a smooth stop, its tinted windows shielding me from the chaos outside. I didn’t know where we were going until the heavy bass of music vibrated through the ground beneath my heels. Lord Logan stepped out first, his tall frame cutting an intimidating figure under the dim glow of neon lights. He extended his hand toward me, his expression unreadable as always.“Come,” he said simply.My heart pounded as I placed my hand in his. The instant our skin touched, an electric tension surged through me part fear, part something I refused to name. He guided me out, and the chill of the night air hit me like a slap before we descended a narrow flight of stairs.The door at the bottom creaked open to reveal an entirely different world an underground casino buzzing with life. Crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow over velvet draped walls. Men in tailored suits and women in glittering gowns crowded around poker tables and roulette wheels, their laughter mingling with

Chapter: Chapter 13: Maternal grandmaLogan was there, tall and commanding, his attention fixed on the watch strapped around his wrist. He tapped his fingers impatiently, every line of his posture sharp with authority. Then he turned and when his eyes landed me, he froze for a brief second, I thought I saw surprise flicker in his gaze. He looked at me as though measuring me, as though seeing me for the first time. My heart was hammered.But just as quickly, his expression hardened again. He straightened, slipped his watch back onto his wrist, and said simply, “Let’s go.”“Where to?” I asked, confusion slipping into my voice.His eyes snapped to mine, sharp and cold. “What did I say about questioning me?” His tone was low, laced with warning.I swallowed hard, my pulse quickening.From everything I’d observed so far, one thing was clear: Lord Logan had a temper, one that burned quickly and without mercy and I was already standing far too close to the fire.I stayed quiet and followed him like a puppet, I so much hate this,

Chapter: chapter twelve: Hello againA while later, just as I began to calm my racing thoughts, a sudden knock startled me. My heart leapt to my throat. For a moment I hesitated, debating whether to answer, but curiosity got the better of me.When I opened the door, my breath caught.Diva stood there. Her perfume reached me before her smile did, It was sweet, suffocating, and deliberate. Behind her loomed two tall men in black, their broad shoulders blocking the hallway light. They looked familiar, too familiar. I’d seen them among Lord Logan's men before.Why were they with her?“Hello again,” Diva purred, her eyes gleaming as she stepped forward, forcing me to retreat into my own room. The men remained at the door, silent and stiff.“I… wasn’t expecting you,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper.“Of course you don't darling” she replied smoothly, glancing around my room as though she owned it. “You’re quite comfortable here, aren’t you? Living under Logan’s roof, breathing his air, eating from his table.”There

Chapter: Chapter eleven: She's mineAurora's POVAs I bit on the the piece of food in my plate. I could see a lady entering from the corner of my eyes. Truth be told she was down to earth, tall and slim. She was very fair that her tiny long legs stand outI continued chewing the food in my mouth, but I couldn't help but stare at the woman. Her elegance was captivating, and she carried herself with confidence. Her long, curly hair cascaded down her back like a golden waterfall, and her piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle in the dim light of the room.She strode towards me with a warm smile, her high heels clicking on the marble floor. I felt a shiver run down my spine as her gaze swept over me, her eyes narrowing slightly."Hello," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I am Diva. And you are...?"I swallowed the food in my mouth, feeling a sense of unease under Diva's piercing gaze. There was something about her that didn't quite add up, something that made me feel wary."Who is this woman?" I asked myself inwa

Chapter: Chapter ten: I am in your houseLogan's POV "I am sorry," she mouthed, breathless. I glared at her, my anger still simmering, but her apology caught me off guard. "Why are you eating like that?" I asked again, trying to keep my tone neutral. She looked down, her cheeks flushing. "I have not eaten all day," she said quietly. My anger began to dissipate, replaced by concern. What had happened to her? "Sit down, let's eat together, I am not mad at you anymore, eat then we can discuss after" I guided her to the table, pulling out a chair for her. She slowly sat down, still looking down, her eyes welling up with tears. I think I had made her lose her appetite, because she only took small bites. As much as I loved the fear in her eyes, I hated the glistening tears in her eyes. They made me feel like I'd crossed a line, like I'd hurt her more than I intended. I reached out, gently wiping away a tear that rolled down her cheek. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "I didn't mean to scare you." She looked up at me, her eyes searc
