AURORA POV..She's here..She’s here.I pulled on a robe and peeked through the window. Tessa stepped out, her long hair tied back, dressed too nicely for a “casual visit.” That was Tessa — my sister, but somehow always the one who looked like she belonged anywhere. Pretty, polished, and a little too perfect for comfort.Darren’s voice carried from downstairs before I even got there. Smooth. Too smooth.“Long time, Tessa.”The way he said her name — soft, teasing — made my pulse spike. I hated that tone. I knew it too well. It was the same one he used when he wanted to be remembered.I stepped into the living room. “You’re early."Tessa smiled, her eyes bright. “I thought I’d surprise you.”“Yeah. Surprise.” I forced a smile back.Darren stood by the counter, coffee mug in hand, looking entirely too casual for someone who’d been all ice and distance just yesterday. “I was just telling your sister how much you’ve been looking forward to this,” he said.I shot him a glare, but he only s

AURORA POV “Yesss…” I drawled, stretching the word like a sigh that wanted to sound convincing. “Darren and I are both ready.”“Thought you’d never call. I talked to your sister—she said she’ll help you,” Mom said in that calm, calculating tone that always made my stomach twist.“Oh, I’ll call her too,” I replied, pretending it didn’t sting that she’d gone ahead and talked to Tessa first.She hummed. “Okay. Tomorrow then—we’ll talk about it.”And just like that, she hung up.The call ended with a soft beep, and I just stared at the phone for a moment. Then I placed it on the small table beside the bed and lay down, my back turned to Darren. I didn’t want to see his face right now—his calm, detached expression that said he didn’t care one way or another.Why did she agree so easily?That thought replayed over and over like a broken record.Still… at least she’s willing to help me, right? That should mean something.I pulled the covers up, closed my eyes, and pretended the silence betw

AURORA POV"Why no let tessa be your Surrogate???" She suggested and I looked at Darren who shrugged "Be my Surrogate?? How do mean?" I asked and she sighs "You're not dumb Aurora.. she's going to sleep with your husband and get married then the child will be yiurs"she explained making me open my mouth in suprise."Why the fuck would I let her sleep with Darren. And why would she do that?" I said " I mean waste her precious today and time to carry my baby.."Mom chuckled softly " oh Aurora.. I'm sure your sister doesn't mind. Besides she owes you and if you don't want her sleeping with your husband I'm sure there's something else.. "She doesn't owe me mother. She's my sister If I was asked to do it again I'll do it in a heartbeat. I stated "and I'll think about it"Why does she think because I gave Tessa one of my kidney, she owes me."Well think about it.. Time is not on your side and Take care of yourself better, You should’ve been stronger.” " she replied making me furrow my b

AURORA POV “I’m afraid… there’s no heartbeat. She should rest, and I’ll prescribe drugs to help her get stronger.” The doctor’s words hit first, hollow and sharp, cutting through the hazeFor a moment, my mind floated somewhere far away, a numb fog that swallowed the walls, the beeping machines, even Amy’s worried face. The room existed, but it wasn’t mine anymore.I pressed the phone tighter to my ear, the plastic hard against my palm. Her voice. Darren's mother, cold, cutting, and precise slithered through, slicing through my drifting thoughts: “You’ll never do anything right. You’ll never be enough.”My hands shook uncontrollably, chest tight, stomach twisting into knots. Every words dug deeper than the last, anger colliding with grief until I felt hollow inside.“You should be ashamed of yourself—you’ve been married to Darren for how many years now?” His mother’s voice snapped through the haze like a whip. My throat went dry. My chest throbbed. My heart pounded in a rhythm that d
