[Aurora's POV] After everything, I finally opened the door to their boss, I guessed. He was actually dressed casually, unlike the others who were wearing suits. I couldn't help but shake my head as I thought about it. He looked completely different from the men who had come to my house earlier. But he did have an intimidating aura but of course it can't work on me. He let himself into my home, and honestly, I didn't even have the strength to fight with him anymore. I was already tired from everything that had happened this morning. Besides my holiday has been canceled so I just decided to hear him out and see what he actually wanted. He narrated to me the story behind his son's trauma, and honestly, I felt really emotional. Someone I knew had gone through almost the same situation, but unfortunately, died without ever getting any cure. The memory suddenly came back to me while he was talking, and I quickly had to get a hold of myself before I started crying again. I sto

[Aurora's POV] “Nope. Wrong person.” I quickly said it, already trying to close the door. I didn't even wait for a response but just as the door was about to close, someone's leg got stuck between it. I froze. Slowly, I opened the door again and faced the man, already feeling irritated. “What?” He didn't look bothered by my attitude. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out something. A picture. He held it out toward me. My heart dropped. I stared at the picture. Then at him. Then back at the picture. It was me.I'm so dead. “Isn't this you?” he asked. “Miss Aurora Hayes?” I breathed out, knowing I was already caught. So much for pretending they had the wrong person. “Okay…” I stared at him suspiciously. “What do I owe the visit?” I asked as I tried to sound confident, but honestly, I was starting to feel a little afraid. I looked past him. A black car was parked outside. The windows were completely tinted, making it impossible to see who was inside. Who were these

[Roman's POV] After leaving the club, I went straight to the dungeon. Calling it a dungeon was probably generous. It was an underground prison beneath my house, built to keep certain problems away from prying eyes. The government couldn't meddle in my business if they didn't know where to look. I couldn't afford to leave clues behind. The place was dark, cold, and unpleasant enough to make most people turn around the moment they stepped inside. But whoever was brought down here never came out alive. I stepped inside a cell which was located deeper into the dungeon and spotted our prisoner. He was secured to a chair in the middle of the room, his clothes dirty and his entire face covered with a nylon bag. It must be suffocating. He looked up when he heard my footsteps. I smiled. “Hi.” Nothing. Not even a response. People could be incredibly rude. I walked closer and removed the nylon covering his face. His mouth was covered with a metal lock. Then his eyes met mine. He look

[Aurora's POV] Mrs. Racheal's family had already arrived to check on her, and of course, I had to call them over. There was already so much drama happening. It seemed like almost everyone in town had gathered to witness what happened. At this point, I was exhausted. Her entire family was there—her children, in-laws, distant relatives, and several people I didn't even bother asking about. And, of course, they couldn't leave without thanking me repeatedly. “Thank you so much, Miss Aurora.” “God bless you.” “We don't know what we would have done without you.” Honestly, they'd already paid me. The excessive gratitude wasn't necessary, I rolled my eyes. I'd probably get recommended to half the town after this. Wait. What was I saying? I smacked my head. I didn't need more patients right now. I needed a break, a long one. Then her husband whom was so excited that he almost hugged me, not after I gave him a glare did he stop. So shameless. I understood, not really, that he was hap

Roman’s POV Even after Ronn changed... He still remembered Kingsley. It had taken me months before my own son could even look at me without fear. But with Kingsley? It was different. Ronn trusted him. Then he began to walk away then sat on the bench beside the lake. I was still watching Ronn when Kingsley coughed, pulling my attention back to him. Ronn had settled on the bench, his gaze fixed somewhere in the distance. Kingsley's expression had turned serious. “You seem to be blind and foolish, even as a Don.” I raised an eyebrow. Normally, I wouldn't tolerate anyone speaking to me like that. But Kingsley was different. He was my brother from another mother, and I'd always been willing to listen to his advice. “Why do you say that?” I asked calmly, waiting for him to explain. “Why would you say that in front of him?” he asked. “Say what?” I said confused at what he meant. “Did you see his expression after he heard you say that? You're his father. You're supposed to suppo

[Roman’s POV] “Don!” I turned toward the maid standing at the entrance. I walked not wanting anyone inside. She was breathing heavily, her face pale. At the same time, I noticed a faint blush on her cheeks. She really had the guts to blush in a situation like this?“Miss Ava has been transferred successfully to the hospital.” She paused, struggling to catch her breath. “The doctors said she’s in a coma.” My jaw tightened. Ava was in a coma? I hadn't expected it to be this serious.Ronn had really gone too far this time. Speaking of him...“And Ronn?” Her eyes immediately dropped to the floor what was she looking at. My mood turned sour which she felt as her body began to tremble slightly. Good she should feel that I'll take no nonsense from anyone especially a mere maid. “We don't know where Master Ronn is.” Silence. The silence irritated me more than anything. My fingers slowly curled into a fist.“You don't know where my son is?” They were completely incompetent. Useless fools. “

[Azure Hotel and Suites - Devian's Suite] They had both started eating, but of course not without Devian having to practically force Vanessa to eat. She sat across from him, eating slowly while still looking slightly uncomfortable with the whole situation. She wasn't used to sitting down and having dinner on a dinning table at her home talk less with him like this, especially when she knew she was supposed to be working. “Where's your phone?” he asked. Vanessa immediately looked at him with an 'I don't trust you look' . Devian couldn't help but laugh a little. “I don't bite."he paused. Seeing she still didn't give a response, he continued." It's okay if you don't want to give it to me.” She simply nodded, no longer bothered by the question, faced her food and continued eating. She must admit that this is the best she has eaten in days or years? She stayed focused on her food trying to savor the taste and the feeling. For a while, neither of them said much. They were bo

“Please, I really need to get home,” she said, hoping he would change his mind. Of course, he knew her trick.“That won’t work. You’re supposed to be with me until after my dinner, right?” She nodded. He slowly stood after releasing her hands, then settled beside her. Vanessa quickly sat up and turned her back toward him, hiding her blush. Devian smirked, already aware of her reaction.She quickly stood up. “I’ll go get your dinner ready.” He shook his head.“There’ll be no need for that. It’s already been taken care of. Let’s go.”He stood up, walked to the other side, and held his hand out to her. She hesitated for a moment before taking it. He then led her outside.As they headed out, Vanessa kept thinking about how much trouble she was in.'I’m so fired.' But then another thought crossed her mind.'Why is he so cool about all of this? And why is he holding my hand?' “You okay?” he asked when she sighed without realizing it. She nodded her head, still wondering why he was asking.

[The Browns Residence] The house was unusually quiet as no one was at home. Mira had the place to herself. She was in the backyard, enjoying the swimming pool. The afternoon sun reflected across the surface of the water as she swam from one end to the other, completely lost in her own world. She surfaced, pushing her wet hair away from her face before taking another deep breath and diving in again. She had been there for more than an hour. She hadn't noticed that there was someone watching her and was very close to her sight of view. Ethan stood near the glass doors, his arms folded across his chest. His gaze remained fixed on Mira admiring her, but his mind was somewhere else entirely. He hadn't planned on coming here but couldn't help him self. He had tried several ways to approach her but she didn't budge. .l His thoughts kept returning to everything that had happened lately—the way Mira had been acting, the way she always avoided him. He sighed quietly. He really lik

She froze. Her eyes slowly shifted downward. An arm was wrapped around her. Her heart immediately began pounding. Who's this? Where am I? She inhaled a deep breath. She remembered waiting for her boss to return before she fell asleep. For few minutes, she had already forgot her current situation. He must be very mad at me. On the other hand, Devian was still wondering what Vanessa was doing. He knew she was awake, but he heard no sound coming from her. 'Hold on.' Then she realized. This is my boss's room, but whose hand is this? Her heart skipped. It can't be. She closed her eyes and took her lips into her mouth. She began to turn slowly, trying not to wake whoever it was. When she turned fully and saw him. "Ahhhh!" Vanessa shouted out loud, unable to stop herself. As Vanessa screamed, Devian forgot his pretense and quickly sat up. The first thought that came to his mind was his mom finding out that Vanessa was in his room and had even slept there. He acted witho

"Vanessa" No response. "Vanessa." He called her name again. Still nothing. He gently shooked her shoulder. She didn't even stir. He sighed. "You must have been exhausted." For a moment, he considered waking her again. Instead, he carefully removed her shoes and pulled the blanket over her. He was about standing up he lost his balance then fell on her. He looked at her hand she had already held unto him without him knowing. He tried to stand up, but her grip on his shirt was too tight. Very unexpected for a girl her size. "Please, don't go", Vanessa said as tears flowed out of her eyes. He softened at her tone. "You must be really stressed out" he held her chin. "I definitely would have loved to take you from here but you are too fragile for my dark world." he paused for some minutes. "But don't worry, I'll definitely be by your side always. This is a promise from your husband" he smiled so wide. He tried to adjust himself to the other side of the bed care

While in Devians room, Vanessa was already done with her chores but she couldn't leave. She had heard his mom's voice. "Seemed like they were arguing about something". But she couldn't leave despite wanting to. She had heard about her, a very strict person just like her son is. "If I go, I might get fired for disobeying him and I don't want to meet his mom" she sighed in frustration. "What to do" she moved all her equipments towards the door and decided to wait for him to come back. She couldn't risk her job. "Where to sit"she then moved to the bed side and sat on it. "Wow it really soft nothing like the brick called bed I sleep on." "I'll just take a quick nap before he comes back," she murmured. Within minutes, she was fast asleep. ********** [Unknown Place] This place doesn't look like where anyone should be or live in. Around it paints everywhere, dirt lying on the ground, cigarettes scattered all around. But let's not forget, the smell. Stench polluting
