Aurora's POV I remained on the floor long after Damien disappeared out of the bedroom. My tears soaked the carpet beneath me while my chest hurt so badly I could barely breathe properly.How did everything become like this?Just yesterday, I was still convincing myself that if I tried harder, loved him harder, things would eventually get better. But now Damien wanted me gone. I wiped my tears shakily and slowly stood up from the floor.No.I couldn’t let things end like this. Maybe if I begged properly this time… Maybe if I explained how much I loved him… Maybe he would change his mind. I quickly stumbled out of the bedroom and headed downstairs desperately.But the moment I reached the staircase, my steps froze. Damien stood in the living room beside Vanessa. I looked down and saw what was in his hands, it was a ring box. My heartbeat stopped completely at the sight. Vanessa gasped loudly as Damien slipped a sparkling diamond ring onto her finger.“Oh my God!” she squealed excitedly

Aurora's POV Damien’s hands paused briefly against his shirt buttons. For one foolish second, hope filled my chest Maybe he felt guilty. Maybe somewhere deep down, there was still something between us.Then he continued unbuttoning his shirt calmly.“Love,” he repeated coldly. “Is the last thing I’m interested in. Its never enough to sustain a marriage”The words hit me harder than I expected. I stared at him quietly, feeling my heart crack all over again.“So that’s it?” I whispered painfully. “You don’t care about me at all?”Damien finally turned toward me. His expression remained unreadable. “You already knew what this marriage was from the beginning, Aurora.” he said dryly. Even though it hurt, he was right. The marriage wasn't a love match, at least for him. I loved him, I truly did but Damien never said he loved me. He never showed affection or stand up for me when I was being maltreated by his family. Still I remained optimistic, hoping one day he would see how much I loved

Aurora's POV The next morning, I woke up with a pounding headache. My eyes burned painfully from crying all night. For a few seconds, I stared blankly at the ceiling, silently hoping everything that happened yesterday had only been another terrible dream. But reality settled in quickly.Damien cheated on me. And worse… He didn’t even care that I knew. I slowly sat up in bed and glanced toward the other side of the room. It was empty as usual. He never came back to sleep beside me. I wrapped my arms around myself tightly as that familiar ache spread through my chest again. I felt so heartbroken and alone. In that moment, I missed my parents so much. I wished they were still herewith me. I missed being in my mother's embrace, I missed my dad's warm hugs.I silently wondered how things would be if they were still alive. They would definitely not let me stay in a marriage that hurt me so much like this. "Mom.. Dad.. I miss you" I mumbled to myself, feeling as lonely as ever.I decided th

Aurora's POVI felt my heart sink down at that sound. I took one look at Ray and his face was totally pale and drained of colours. Was this why he didn't want me to give Damien his food myself?Was this why Damien was working late?No.. no. I didn't want to think about it. My marriage was already sad and failing enough, this was the last thing. The last thing I needed was amothee person in my marriage.I took another step forward, I needed to see this myself. Ray quickly stepped in front of me again, panic flashing across his face. “M-Madam, please… you can’t go in there right now,” he said nervously.My brows furrowed in confusion. Why was he acting this way?“Move, Ray,” I said softly, trying to step around him but he didn't. He blocked me again.“Master Damien is busy.” He said with a nervous chuckle.I tightened my grip on the lunch basket in my hands. Busy? At this hour? What was he so busy with? Or who?That little word at the back of my mind almost broke me completely. No, I mu

Aurora's POV"You may now kiss the bride"I heard the priest say. I excitedly looked at those beautiful piercing blue eyes that stared at me, they belonged to my husband, Damien. He had a small smile on his face as he leaned down to kiss me. I could hear people cheer on in the background, my parents, his parents, our friends and family. They were all here to celebrate us.I closed my eyes as he got closer, waiting for those rosy pink lips to touch mine."Aurora!" I heard someone call my name aggressive but ignored it. This wasn't the time, I was going to kiss my new husband, Damien."Aurora get up now!" I heard that agitating voice again and suddenly felt cold. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't met with Damien's dreamy blue eyes, instead what stared back at me was a pair off angry black eyes that belonged to none other than my mother in law, Eleanor Sinclair.I looked around to see that I was in bed. It turned out that I had been dreaming, again. It was all just a dream, there was nothi
