*AURORA*

I continued listening in on their conversation.

“Grandpa, how can you comfortably do this to me! I am your grandson! Aurora isn’t even related to us. Her family doesn’t even care about her as much as you do! It is unfair!”

“Rory was Miguel’s favorite grandchild.”

Rory was my nickname and Miguel was my late grandfather.

“From birth, we knew that you two belonged together. And how dare you bring up the issue of the Diaz against Rory. That family relationship have fallen apart since Miguel passed, Rory has nothing to do with it! If anything, you should cherish her more after all she had been through. How can you treat her so heartlessly? I just can’t understand it! You used to be so much in love with her…”

“I fell out of love with her! People are allowed to do that. I am not the first man who has fallen out of love with a woman!” Lucien thundered.

“Fine but remember, if you push through with the divorce, in fact the day you give up the identity of Aurora’s husband, that is the d

    *AURORA*“Do not call her that!” Lucien scolded Fabiola.I watched as Fabiola eyed him and then she asked.“When are you going back? Why did you even come back, anyway? You should have remained abroad.”“If Lucien dares to leave again, he’ll stop being a member of this family. You and Aurora would share the Sullivan’s property equally.” Lucien’s father declared.I saw Fabiola clapped her hands, excitedly.“Did you hear that, Rory? You and I will be in charge. I’ve always known we’ll be great women and then we’ll have any man at our disposal.”“At such a young age, your mind is filled with bullshit! I know who you learnt it from though, such a shame.” Lucien spat.Everyone glared at him, including me.Grandpa Sullivan spoke.“Fabiola, we aren’t disowning your brother yet. We’d give him time to prove his worth. Lucien, you’ll go to the company tomorrow and take over the position of general manager.”“What a pity.”Fabiola let out, disappointedly.“Recently, our construction company isn’t

    *AURORA*“I’m not spending the night here.” Lucien announced, indifferently.Alma slammed her cutlery on the table, angrily.“Where are you spending the night then? With that goblin? If you dare to leave the house, I’ll have someone get rid of her!”Lucien glared at his mother.”You wouldn’t dare!”“Try me.”I grimaced and continued to eat, watching the drama as entertainment.Even though I hated Carla and Lucien a lot, I didn’t wish any of them death.I just didn’t want to be around either of them ever again.However, I was still curious as to what Lucien could do for Carla though.***************Lucien and I had no choice but to retire to the same bedroom.I was sitting on the bed while he was at the balcony.He had been on the phone for almost an hour now.Since he was loud, I happened to know that he was talking to Carla and he apparently was begging her to forgive him for not being able to go to her tonight.Plus I could tell she was crying because he kept begging her not to cry.

    *AURORA*Glancing at Lucien on the couch, I recalled that he had a low tolerance for cold.I sensed that he was already asleep, then I got the remote of the air conditioner and deliberately made the air as cold as possible.The only thing I felt now was tormenting him every chance I get.I hid the remote and went to sleep.When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw him, curled up on the couch and shivering.With a satisfied smile, I went back to sleep.In the morning, I wasn’t surprised when he woke up with a cold.I never thought the day would come when all I would feel for him was hate.He deserved it and until we get divorced, I would continue to torment him.I didn’t care that he was ill this morning, I got ready and headed for the TV station.Coupled with the fact that I worked at the Sullivan’s company, I was also a TV host.This had been my dream since I was little and I was glad the Sullivans allowed me to work here even if I knew that deep down, they would prefer I work

    Aurora and Lucien moved closer to Mrs Dumont to present their gift.Lucien had left Aurora in charge of getting the gift so he watched as she brought out a box.Opening the delicate box, it contained a vintage glass bottle of perfume.Aurora had a hobby and gift of making unique perfumes and so she made this herself.“Mrs Dumont, this is the Sullivans family’s gift to you. I hope you like it.”People around found the gift questioning!A perfume for the great Mrs Dumont?Everyone was getting her something rare but Gianna got her this?!The old lady picked up the perfume and brought it close to her nose.She smiled.”Thank you, Aurora.”Aurora was surprised.How did Mrs Dumont know her name?Everyone addressed her as Mrs Sullivan in this social circle.Even if some of them knew her name, she didn’t expect that Mrs Dumont would know it too because they had never met or spoken before, talk more of getting personal.The old lady continued.”This is a unique scent, I heard you make perfumes,

    *AURORA*After presenting my gift to Mrs Dumont, Lucien and I walked to where our table was located.No one was seated yet do we had to wait on the sidelines.His cellphone rang out.“I have to take this.”He said to me.I nodded and watched him walked away.I knew it was Carla calling.It didn’t bother me.I had genuinely lost all interest in being with him.I kept myself entertained by admiring the antiques inside the banquet hall.A blue and white porcelain, probably from the 80s was a jaw-dropping sight.At that moment, a young lady walked up to me.“You’re Mrs Sullivan, right?”I nodded.”How may I help you?”“I’m Allegra Montes, the daughter of the Montes family, as you know, we own the biggest perfume company in the country, I heard you make unique fragrances, I’d like to buy some from you. Name your price.”I smiled, politely at her.”I only enjoy formulating different fragrances for now. I’ve not monetized it yet but if I have time, I could teach you how I make my perfumes. Sinc

    *AURORA*I was still frozen in place until I started to hear some older women’s voices around me.“If I wasn’t married, I’d have loved to be owned by him.”“You wish. I don’t think you’d stand a chance, Mrs Gordon.”“You can say that again, I mean, look at how magnificent he is, I wonder if the ladies still have the nerves to chase after him. A man like this would be surely hard to please. He would surely want a lady as great as he is.”“Any woman who has ever succeeded in even having a few minutes alone with him, breathing the same air as him is so lucky.”I zoned out on the conversation and chose to focus on the crisis I had going on right now.No!It can’t be him.I didn’t want it to be him because how on earth was I supposed to face him?I stared at his face again, he had a powerful and icy aura around him.The man I met last night didn’t had this much aura.Granted, it was dark and I felt he was just an ordinary man at a bar, plus his dark hair had fallen messily on his face but

    Everyone’s attention fell on Aurora.They were alarmed and at the same time very curious to know what Aurora had done to the great Mr Dumont.Aurora was a very beautiful woman. People knew and acknowledged that fact.She had the kind of beauty that could turn heads instantly when she walked into any room full of people.Could it be that she had an affair with Mr Dumont?Lucien stared at Aurora, questioningly.“Aurora, care to explain what this is about?”He questioned, coldly.It felt as if someone had poured ice on his body.How could Aurora know or even offend someone like Mr Dumont?Could there be something between them?He recalled when she told him she had a lover.No.That can’t be possible.Even if he had told her that their marriage was an open one, he always believed that she could never get involved with another man.She could never have anything to do with another man, talk more of a man like Mr Dumont who was definitely out of her league.Aurora stepped forward and spoke, c

    *AURORA*Was it because people worshipped the ground he walked on?That man was so arrogant!I took a deep breath, I’d have to ignore his arrogance because I really needed to secure this project for the Sullivans.I was still fuming when I suddenly got splashed with red wine.I gasped in shock then looked up to see Isobel.“Oh, I’m so sorry, Aurora. I just wanted to go make a toast to Mrs Dumont but I tripped when I was passing by this table.”Who was she kidding?She did it on purpose!Isobel always wanted to humiliate and hurt me whenever she gets the chance.I looked around, seeing people’s attention was already getting drawn to us.I glared at Isobel, as I tried not to lose my temper.My mom, or rather, Hannah, Isobel’s mother walked up to her.“Mom, I…I didn’t mean to. Oh God, her dress has gotten messed up because of me.”Hannah slung me an unbothered look.“Don’t feel so bad, Isobel. It was a honest mistake.

    Isobel could clearly remember that she had been mesmerized like this when she and Hannah had gotten closer to Damon on his mother’s birthday.She had been too stunned by his looks to speak.She recalled that she couldn’t even say a word to him.He had met a lot of people that day but right now, he recognized her and even called out her name, correctly!What does this mean?Could it be that he was interested in her as well?After having such a realization, Isobel simply couldn't suppress her inner leap of joy.Sure enough, what Damon said next reinforced her thoughts.He said to Sergio,”Sergio, excuse us.”‘Excuse us? He wants to be alone with me?!’ Isobel thought, excitedly.Sergio left the office.Damon looked up and stared at the real daughter of the Diaz family, the lady who got swapped with Aurora.”Miss Diaz, why are you here?"Even if Isobel was losing h

    *AURORA*I slept exceptionally well that night.But when I got up in the morning, Damon had already left for the office.I had heard him talk about how the Paradise Resort project has already started.The bids were coming in.The format this time was an open bidding process where three top construction companies were selected by the government.These three construction companies will then be used by Damon to make the final choice.In the end, the final decision was in his hand.Even if I wanted the Sullivans to get the project for the sake of Alma, Jorge, Fabiola and Grandpa Sullivan, I’d not speak in favor of the Sullivans.They should go through a fair process like everyone else.****************DAMON*Sergio placed three documents on my desk.“President, these are the construction companies selected by the government, please take a look."I flipped open the file.

    *AURORA*Wanting to please Damon too, I broke off the kiss and made him lie on the bed instead.I reached out and slowly touched his cock, softly grazing my fingers along it.It jumped in my hand, expanding with a spasm.Damon groaned.His reaction making me happy to please him more.I began to brush my fingers across his dick, softly, amazed at the burning heat from it and from the silky softness of the skin over the rock hardness beneath.I encircled the massive girth with my fingers and began to softly stroke it, up and down.Damon was moaning, every sound he made doubled and tripled my own desire.A drop of clear liquid beaded at the tip of his massive head. I moved my palm over it and used his natural lubrication to wet my fingers, then I began to softly caress him again.The slipperiness made it even more sensual, the soft pull of his flesh against mine.“Oh God! You…Aurora.”He was

    *AURORA*“The name is quite interesting, but I really can't accept something so valuable."Fifty million dollars was not a small amount.Damon said casually, "If you don't like it, then I'll throw it away." He said making a gesture to open the window.I felt flustered and I hastily reached out to stop him, snatching the brocade box back.Although I knew that he was doing this on purpose, I still had to feel the capriciousness of this manIf I hadn't stopped him, maybe he really might have thrown it.There was certainly no way I would see such valuable jewelry thrown away, much less leave my heart and soul on the streets.I said, "I love it, thank you so much.”And I made a mental note to get him a gift of equal value later on when it was his birthday.Although I also had money but I knew the value of it.And this necklace was of great value."What do you want to do for your birthday the d

    *AURORA*“Lucien is yours, yet you look so scared. You’re the one who betrayed me and you’re still the one who knows no peace. Can’t you see how unfortunate you are?I eyes her.“Carla, you have nothing, absolutely nothing to your name. The only thing you have, the only thing you’ve fought for is Lucien’s love. It’s pathetic that it’s the only purpose you have. Imagine someone’s only purpose in life is a stupid man’s love? You don’t want to admit that your purpose seemed to have failed because losing him means losing everything you have. So you’re going to continue like this, worried and unable to sleep because he’s just a confused man.”“He’s not confused. He loves me! You’re the one pestering him! You’re the one disturbing him! You left the house yet you won’t serve him the divorce papers. Give him the papers, I’m sure he’d

    Just as his lips were about to touch Aurora’s lips.He heard footsteps.Lucien was shocked and his spine tensed.Perhaps because he was so flustered, he forgot to stand up. He was frozen on the spot.And at that moment, Aurora stirred and opened her eyes.Her eyes widened to see Lucien’s face so close to hers.Their lips were mere inches away from each other’s.And the footsteps couldn’t be heard at the moment because the person had stopped walking in shock for what she had witness.It was Carla.She had seen everything.She had seen Lucien about to kiss Aurora!She moved closer to them.“What the hell?!”She was flaring with anger.A hint of shame flashed under Lucien’s eyes.At this time, he and Aurora were looking at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.Aurora frowned, she had barely slept all night last night and had just fallen into a deep sleep.He had the nerves to disturb her!Lucien’s face was red, and he actually looked like a thief who had just been cau

    When they were abroad, Lucien always assured her that she’d be Mrs Sullivan soon.Now, he seemed unwilling to get separated from Aurora.Carla could feel that he was beginning to change, things were changing!She could sense that Lucien wasn’t all over her like before.Carla panicked.She had literally done everything she could to make Lucien hate Aurora!How can he still get swayed by her?!If he were to learn that all that had happened between them was her doing.She would be done for.She couldn't give them a chance to clear up their misunderstanding.She had to get them permanently separated as soon as possible.She had to make Lucien hate Aurora even more and if she doesn’t succeed in doing that, then she had to do something to Aurora.Carla smiled as she began to hatch up a plan in her mind.**********************AURORA*After I got into Damon’s car.I leaned back against the seat and stared out the window.It was irritating and amusing about how shameless Lucien was.Was he se

    Lucien looked up at the man.The fury in his eyes converted into shock when he saw the face clearly.He couldn’t believe his eyes."Mr…Mr Dumont?”Damon had already wrapped his hand around Aurora’s waist in a smooth manner.Looking at her, he asked, "We made plans to have dinner together. Should we go now?"Aurora thought for a moment, “Let’s not eat out tonight. I’m craving for smoky albondigas, the ones made by you.”“Okay, then let’s stop by the grocery store, I need to get my special ingredient for it.”Lucien was still in disbelief when he saw the intimate and natural conversation between the two.Manuel Dumont was going to cook for Aurora?!And it seemed to be something he has been doing.Lucien was one of those men who were of the belief that the kitchen was meant for the kitchen staff or a woman.Not a man and definitely not a great man like Mr Dumont.But with the smile on Damon’s face as he stared at Aurora, Lucien could see that he was practically happy to cook for her.Thi

    When Lucien hung up, he was still fuming, still finding it hard to believe that Aurora was in a relationship with someone else now.He furiously slammed the phone against the floor.Carla just happened to see him lose his temper like that.Her eyes widened in shock.She walked over and took his arm, "Lucien, what's wrong?"Lucien glanced at her, his eyes clear and cold.Carla felt startled.Lucien had never looked at her with such eyes before.Ever since that day when Aurora played that recording at the hospital, Lucien seemed to have changed.Was he really suspicious of her?No, she had laid out her plans years ago, and it had been hard for her to get to this point, so she mustn't lose the battle.Her eyes pooled with tears in an aggravated manner."Did I do something to upset you?"Lucien’s heart was filled with contradictions as he looked at Carla’s pitiful appearance.For the first time, he knew that Carla might be pretentious.He didn’t know how to feel about the things he found
