Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEAurora POV“Welcome….”“ I can see you've finally decided to join us”The room revealed the Mafia Lord ; Damien Dmitri, with a group of lawyers. He walked in and stood beside my father “You're making the right choice, future daughter-in-law," Damien said, his voice a low, silky drawl that always managed to make my skin crawl. He leaned against a mahogany desk, his dark eyes fixed on me “I didn't have much of a choice, did I ?” I snapped.His lips curled into a slow, knowing smile. “Not really. I have you and your family at my knees.”The words hung in the air, thick and heavy. It was the brutal truth. Damien held all the cards. My father already had accrued a huge loan from him and couldn't pay it back leaving us his family completely at Damien’s mercy. And I was the price he demanded.“You animal,” I cursed. The lawyers in the corner shifted uncomfortably. My father remained silent, his head bowed in defeat.Damien merely chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that sent a shiver down my s

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURAURORA POV“I now proclaim you husband and wife; You may now kiss the bride,” The priest’s voice echoed. Ethan’s hands were already on my veil. He yanked it aside with impatient fingers and captured my lips in a kiss that stole the air from my lungs..His mouth claimed mine like he had every right to me, like the whole world was watching and he wanted them to see that I belonged to him. His arms wrapped around me, strong and unyielding, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us. The claps afterwards came distantly forced, the crowd whistled, cheering us on.Then, I woke up startled, taking a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. The last rays of the sun lazily filtered through the tall, bare windows. My throat felt groggy and dry, and my eyes were so puffy I couldn’t even open them all the way. I would kill for a glass of water, but I would die before asking for one. How I wished the dream was real and I was in Ethan's arms right now. This was the part where I kn

Chapter: CHAPTER THREEAurora POVFor a split second, nothing else existed except the narrow space between us. Our faces were still far too close, breaths tangled, shared air warm and uneven. I could feel his exhale against my lips, the world outside the car feeling so unreal.His eyes dropped—not to my lips at first, but to the hollow of my throat, as if he were grounding himself, reminding himself to slow down. My heart thudded so loudly I was sure he could hear it. I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry, my body painfully aware of how close he was. One inch closer and we’d be touching.“Tell me to stop,” he murmured.His voice was low but there was something raw beneath it, something that made my breath hitch instantly. I didn’t answer instead, my fingers tightened around the fabric of his coat“I want you” he whispered His jaw flexed. He lifted one hand slowly, deliberately, as though giving me time to change my mind. His knuckles brushed my cheek first, His eyes flicked to my face, watching every react

Chapter: CHAPTER TWOCHAPTER TWO -THE STRANGE MANAurora POV“Hey !!”“Are you trying to get killed? A man yelled as he drove past me. I stood frozen, cold raindrops pattering against my skin. I was about to scream back when the rumble of an engine cut me off as a convertible slowed down beside me. Four guys crowded inside it, the stench of alcohol drifting toward me before the car even stopped. The driver leaned over, his eyes crawling on my body before settling on my chest “Hey babe, want a ride” he grinned “We got plenty of room on our laps” His friends beside him snorted. They burst into laughter “You have some nerve!!”“Get out” I snapped“Oh feisty” The driver smirked, killing the engine “ I like feisty” One of the guys vaulted towards the back door and he staggered towards me “Let's see if there's more where that action came from, shall we?”I stepped back“Don't you dare come close to me” I screamed .Before I could react, he lunged forward and grabbed me by the hair, yanking my head bac

Chapter: CHAPTER ONECHAPTER ONE — THE NIGHT I DIEDAurora POVI can’t do this,” Ethan whispered I blinked, confused. “What do you mean?” I asked softlyFor a second—just a second—I wondered if this was part of his elaborate plan to surprise me. Ethan was dramatic like that. The musicians might start playing our song. The lights could dim. Our families could stand up and cheer. He would drop to one knee and laugh at how gullible I was.He couldn't look at me. His jaw clenched. His eyes were darting everywhere else — the chandelier hanging above us, the glass of champagne he hadn’t touched. His throat bobbed with a hard swallow. His fingers curled around the velvet tablecloth as he muttered the words from his mouth.“I can’t go through with it. He said, slowly The proposal. Us.”My entire body went cold. My breath froze halfway into my lungs. The sound suddenly blurred. The orchestra at the far end of the restaurant faded into a distorted hum. Every pair of eyes from the other tables glued themselves to
