Falling For My Billionaire Dad's Rival's Son.
She was sold to save an empire—until she fell for the man meant to destroy it.
Aurora Borealis never had a choice and she was never meant to choose love.
As the second daughter of a failing billionaire, she is promised to Christian Brian Wood—a charming business ally whose polished cruelty hides control, intimidation, and silent abuse. To the world, she’s a perfect fiancée. In private, she survives.
At a high-profile rooftop party, Aurora meets Damon Grey—a stranger who feels like rebellion itself. Magnetic, dangerous, impossible to forget… and the son of the man who nearly ruined her family. Their attraction is instant, reckless, forbidden.
When Aurora escapes her engagement, fate delivers a cruel twist: Damon is the very man her father plans to marry her off to next. But Damon refuses to claim her as property. He offers a contract marriage—one that promises protection, choice… and ignites a war between two billionaire empires.
As desire turns into something neither planned, hidden pasts, jealous rivals, and deadly power games close in. Aurora must decide: risk everything for love—or lose it all...

Chapter: Chapter 7: Welcome Mrs Grey!I stood, frozen.I had an idea who it might be but I was conflicted.Was it Brian? or was it the woman in the red dress?I typed but before I could send the text, the line was disconnected.I exclaimed and swore.My hands lay akimbo on my waist, I held the phone against it and thought deeply about what I had just seen.Before I could think of the next line of action, I heard footsteps.Damon.I didn't want him to think otherwise. So, I unlocked the door, rushed towards the bed and pretended to be asleep.In the nick of time, I turned off my phone. ....I woke up with all the muscles of my body aching badly. The aches and pains were familiar. I had probably slept in a terrible position again.Wait, had Damon seen me like that?.I hastily got up, adjusted my hair and wiped off the rheum in the corner of my eye.I searched the room but didn't see him. I sighed in relief.I was about to make my way back to sleep when I heard his voice come fr

Chapter: Chapter 6: After The Wedding.I froze. The words echoed in my ears.If it weren't for my fear of returning to Brian, I wouldn't run.I turned slowly to look at the audience. I held my shaky breath.Damon squeezed my hand, a subtle yet kind reminder that he was still there.We waited for the person to come forward. For a minute the gathering was silent.The priest repeated the question. I hated him for that—father forgive me.Still, no response.Suddenly, a woman slowly got up. All eyes were on her."I, I'm sorry. My son. He's just a child. He didn't mean to interrupt. We're so sorry aren't we?" she motioned to the small child who nodded in response.Damon nodded.I smiled faintly.He was lucky I loved children.The next parts flowed perfectly until it was time for our vows."May the couple please share their vows"I gulped. A sweat trickled down my forehead.Damon brought out a piece of paper."What?. You've got to be kidding"I didn't dare say it out loud.I turned to face Liliana, she smiled.I raised my eyebro

Chapter: Chapter 5: Wedding Blues.AuroraThe clock ticked—each second carving away at what little hope I had left.I drove fast. Too fast. I hadn't even picked a dress. That was the least of my concerns.I felt nauseous. I reached into the cup holder and threw a piece of mint I found into my mouth.I had spent the last 20 minutes ignoring Brian's texts.Five of them so far. He was getting persistent.It terrified me. I heard a notification, another text. I didn't want to look at the screen but I dared to."You have 5 minutes to get here. You know what will happen if you don't"His threats always struck a nerve. His arrogance and egoism never seemed to catch me off guard.Liliana's call came in. It startled me."Where are you Arie?""Meet me at Grey Weston estate, I sent the full address to you"A pause. "How about your dress?""Just pick something off the rack."Another pause, longer this time. "Arie stay safe. No matter what happens, you've got my support"I swallowed. "I love you Lily" Before she could reply I e

Chapter: Chapter 4: His Deal.Damon's POV I was still dripping from the shower when her text came in. I'd been expecting it.I knew who she was long before she knew me. I knew her name. I'd seen the bruises she hid under all the make up.She needed me. The party wasn't our beginning. It was just the first time she'd known I existed.The first time I stood close enough to her for her to feel it.When I saw her at the party, I knew I had only one chance.I waited quietly for two years for her— for the moment she'd run out of options."Hi Aurora" I texted, and added a smirk emoji. I teased her. A smile escaped my lips.There was something about her, calculating, restrained, familiar, in a way that unsettled me.My navy blue robe clung to me tightly the way I imagined she would.When she told me she was married, I knew exactly what stood between us.Her father's contract.Mr Borealis was my father's nemesis. A name so forbidden in our household. He was the man that stood dangerously in my father's way. His leverag

Chapter: Chapter 3: Her Plan.I sat in Liliana's car, the warm blanket felt like safety. For now, I was free. No more Brian. The vanilla scent in her car calmed my heart- it felt like home. Something I hadn't felt in too long.My memory flashed to all the times she saved me. From when we were kids to now, as adults. I took a deep breath."Lily...""Yes?""Am I safe now"She smiled briefly. The kind that revealed everything she wasn't saying. We both knew it couldn't be over so easily.My phone buzzed, I was startled."Don't." she said reaching for the phone. "It couldn't be...""It's him.""I have to see what he wants." Against her order, I opened the message. It was a two-paged document. I read through it. My face ran cold. Like the all blood in it drained. My fingers were trembling so badly I had to press them into my thigh to steady them.Liliana parked the car. "It's a document right?""I, I don't understand Lily," I stared at the document and the part written boldly stared back at me. My heart raced thr

Chapter: Chapter 2: Her Decision.The cool atmosphere fractured, replaced by a wave of uneasy concern. Each individual exchanging looks with one another. The room went quiet. I could hear their eyes roving round the room. Everyone watched silently as the drama unfolded. "Who was this man? and why was he so aggressive to his wife?." Lots of questions flooded the large hall.The looks I received made my legs shake.I snapped back to reality, did he just say "marry me?"Brian's eyes widened. His cheek red. Blood dropped from the corner of his mouth where the punches landed. He gritted his teeth ready to retaliate.I looked around hoping someone would step in. I saw the security personnel stand at a distance.I walked towards one of them, "Please, stop them"The bulky man hesitated. Rex turned and signalled to him, snapping his fingers.The personnel rushed over and dragged Brian by the collar.Rex signalled for him to stop. He took a few steps back.I heard a camera shuttle.Brian hesitated, seemingly with something on
