Isobel knew that Alberto would never agree to this which was why she made the first move to approach Hannah first.Fortunately, Hannah would not blame her, even if she would be a little upset, she knew that in the end, Hannah would definitely comply with her.Because Hannah felt guilty and sad about the way Isobel had lived since she was born.She felt she owed Isobel a lot for being absent in her life for so long and so Isobel was always using that against her.On the surface, Alberto was the head of the family, but in reality, he listens to Hannah in almost everything.Isobel pulled Hannah’s arm.In a small voice, she begged, "Mom, so many people are watching, just say yes, not to mention, she’ll be just your goddaughter, there's nothing to lose, mom, this is my birthday wish, as long as you fulfill my wish, I'll be very happy. You know that I’ve been so sad for the most part of my life." Looking at Isobel’s pitiful appearance, Hannah felt bad.Hannah was a smart woman.She knew the
At that time, Carla was always alone in the corner, always walking with her head down, always the object of bullying from others.School was like a brutal primeval forest for her.Aurora stood at the top of the pyramid back then in social class, while Carla was at the bottom.She never really took much notice of Carla until one day.Aurora was the class president and so for almost a week at some point, Carla didn’t show up in schools.The exams were approaching and she noticed that Carla’s attendance space continued to be empty.Aurora reached out to the professor in charge of student welfare. She had tried calling Carla but it wasn’t going through.The professor suggested they go visit Carla to see if all was well with her. They got her house address from the school’s portal. The professor and Aurora then headed for her house.The area in which Carla lived was very ghetto and dirty.But that didn’t turn off both Aurora and the professor.They were able to locate her house which was d
Afterward, Carla held her belly and screamed."It hurts, it hurts, my baby, Aurora, why did you push me?!”Aurora’s eyebrows protruded.A bad feeling arose in her heart.Almost simultaneously, countless people just flocked to the scene.Isobel rushed to the front.“Aurora, why did you push Carla, she’s pregnant!”“Aurora, I know you're on bad terms with Carla, but you can't hurt the innocent baby in her belly. Is it because of the father? Do you think killing the child will make Lucien like you again?!”A barrage of questions struck like a hail of bullets.Aurora instantly understood.She had fell into a trap.Isobel and Carla must have planned this to ruin her name.She had thought that Isobel had achieved her goal by making Carla the Diaz family's goddaughter.But she didn't realize that there was such a big pit waiting for her.The viciousness of the two of them was beyond her imagination.They were surrounded by a group of people.The rest of the banquet hall also heard the commot
"But why did Miss Diaz push Miss Esteban though?”Someone in the crowd asked.“Don't you know? The Diaz family and the Sullivan family are close and there were speculations that Lucien and Aurora were dating and would get married, Aurora really loves Lucien but since he choose Carla, she is obviously jealous, and tried to kill Carla and her baby, she is really vicious."“I think the Diaz family were too kind to let her remain in the family. If I was in that family, I’d have kicked out this daughter of a murderer. There is no good in her and it’s high time the Diaz family realize that or else, she’s going to bring nothing but trouble to the family.”On the other side, Alberto finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Carla say this.Often, people don't need the truth, just a shroud.As long as the victim doesn't take it personally, the matter can naturally be turned around quickly.But Isobel clearly refused to let Aurora off easily.It was so hard to design such a once-in-a-lifet
Aurora stared at Alberto and she finally accepted the fact that the mother and father who had raised her for 22 years no longer had any love left for her.It was painful to accept because nothing, absolutely nothing had prepared her for this.Nothing had prepared her for losing her family at twenty-two.Nothing had prepared her for being an outcast at twenty-two.Even three years later, she was still struggling with the fear, the pain of being abandoned.But she had to stop making excuses for the Diaz family. She had to stop making excuses for Hannah and Alberto. The two of them didn’t give a shit about her anymore.And so she had to let go of them, completely.All Alberto cared about right now was his reputation and the family name.It didn’t matter to him about how Aurora felt right now.And so, it shouldn’t matter to her about how Alberto felt as well.She wasn’t the Aurora of three years ago who wanted her family so bad.They were not her family.She only had herself now and so, s
Isobel and Damon were instantly the center of attention of the entire hall.Those present were all the dignitaries of Barcelona.There was not a single person that didn’t recognize that name ‘Dumont’The son of the richest man in the country, the sole heir of the Mont Group was here right now!Though, his family was from Madrid, they still held great power through the whole of Spain.Everyone also knew that the reason why he was in Barcelona was to personally oversee the Paradise Resort project.This Paradise Resort was a fat piece of meat coveted not only by the construction industry but also by various fields.Aside that, being close to any member of the Dumont family was a huge deal for many people.Like they already had a ticket to heaven or something.Everyday, people, especially industrious men and women who own businesses, some women who simply wanted to be seen with Manuel Dumont have all tried to get acquainted with him.But they were almost always turned away.Who would have
Alberto felt frustrated.Why was Mr Dumont so interested in the family drama?He just wanted to send Aurora away so the party could go on.He didn’t want to relive the incident in front of people again; after all, being cut off from his daughter wasn't something honorable.But Damon was insisting in knowing what happened.Isobel, however, took the initiative to speak.“Mr Dumont, well, this is my parents' adopted daughter, Aurora, today my parents accepted my dear friend, Carla Esteban as their goddaughter, Aurora was not happy about it and she pushed the pregnant Carla down the stairs in a fit of anger.""Fortunately, Carla is fine, she is also so kind and does not want to hold a grudge against Aurora. Dad only asked Aurora to apologize to Carla so the matter could be settled but Aurora refused, she said she’d rather let go of this family than to apologize and she did just that, she tore her dress to symbolize tearing herself away from the Diaz family.”Alberto looked tensed.“This i
Everyone was staring at Lucien. Even if they had their suspicions before that Aurora pushed Carla because of Lucien, Isobel had just confirmed that their suspicions were true.And so they wondered if Lucien and Aurora had indeed dated or Aurora had one-sided feelings for him.Damon grimaced.Since Isobel was trying to make Aurora into the mistress, the real mistress should be exposed tonight.“So you’re saying Aurora hurt Miss Esteban because she wants Lucien, is that right? So Miss Esteban and Lucien has a proper relationship?”Of course Isobel couldn't expose that Aurora was Lucien’s wife and Carla was the mistress.Her mission was to make Damon and everyone in this hall hate Aurora no matter what.Isobel began to recklessly make up stories, “Aurora has always love Lucien since they were kids but he didn’t feel the same. She’s obsessed with him and since she found out that Lucien had fallen in love with another woman and is in a relationship with Carla, she’s been doing all she can
*AURORA*I arrived late to work the following day.After the long night at the party and a sizzling night with Damon, I had almost canceled coming to work today but an important news needed to be broadcasted by me.And I really didn’t like anyone taking my spot.When I walked into the building, almost all the colleagues in the office hurried up to me.”“Aurora, you're Manuel Dumont’s girlfriend, why didn't you say so earlier?"“I watched the firework display that was set up in your honor. My God, if watching it online could look so beautiful, I wonder how seeing it in person would be. I haven’t seen those kind of fireworks before. It looked magical!”“Aurora, we’re your colleagues. Why didn’t you invite us to your birthday party? We would have been honored to attend.”This sudden compliment was not a surprise to me.Because this morning, the number one trending topic in every media outlet was my birthday party and the incredible fireworks.As they continued to compliment me, I took no
*DAMON*Aurora’s eyes rolled up to find me watching as I fucked her mouth.I lost it then.I couldn’t take one second more.“I’m gonna come.”I warned.Her eyes were half-closed, sultry, as she carried on sucking up and down the length of me.I reared back and she sunk down one last time, taking me deep inside her throat.With a roar of pleasure, I reached out and pinched her swollen nipples as the first spurts of my cum coated her tongue, while I shot the rest of my load, her sapphire eyes never left me.My thrusts into her slippery mouth slowed, then stilled as she swallowed it all, every last drop. I stared down at her, at how beautiful she looked with my cock buried in her face.I didn’t want this to end, even if she saw an end to this, someday, I didn’t.Aurora carried on sucking gently.God, what a woman.********AURORA*Damon pulled me up in one swift movement and whirled me around so my back was to the door.“You drive me crazy.”He groaned, his hands sliding over my skin.I le
*AURORA*As soon as Damon and I walked into his house that night, I felt his hand on my arm, he whirled me around, yanked me so I was slammed into his body and then he caught my lower lips between his.After the night I had, I really do need him.After we reluctantly disengaged from each other at the rooftop, we had been all over each other in the car.I just wanted his skin on me.He moved his mouth over mine, making me moan from a place deep down in my center, a place only he knew how to touch.His kiss was gentle until I melted against him.When he knew how lost I was, his hands slid around my waist. He pressed them into my back and pulled my body closer to his.I felt his hardness acutely through my dress. I winded my arms around his neck to hold on as he slowly drove me crazy and my knee went too weak to keep me standing.His tongue slid along the opening of my mouth before probing inside, exploring me as fireworks went off in my head.Damon groaned, his hands pressing harder, th
*AURORA*I knew Damon cared about me.And he was always there for me since we met.But I didn’t want to think he actually had feelings for me.I didn’t want to acknowledge it, the same way I refused to acknowledge if I felt anything more for him.If we ever felt anything more for each other, I felt it should not be discussed, it should be buried or discarded. We didn’t need feelings complicating what we had.Feelings would lead us wishing and hoping we would be together, forever. And when that doesn’t happen, it’d lead to a gut-wrenching heartbreak.And so, we both didn’t need feelings.What we had was nice. If we were to let go of each other someday, it should be when we both get tired of each other. That way, it won’t hurt to part ways.For now, I wasn’t tired of him.I pressed my body against his, placing my hand on his cheek and making him look at me.“Are we good, Damon?”He blinked, sighed and nodded.“We’re good.”With that, he bent his head and kissed me, deeply.I kissed him b
*AURORA*I couldn’t allow myself hope or claim these wishes coming from the crowd.But I couldn’t blame them either, after all, they thought I was in a proper relationship with Damon.Tonight, Alberto’s actions and Hannah’s indifference completely shattered my last illusion of affection.If the two people who had raised me since I was a baby could treat me like that, why should I expect anything genuine from other people?And so, I will continue sticking to my decision of not wanting or expecting anything more from anyone.A loud bang suddenly cut through the night sky.Beautiful firework bloomed in the darkness, like a rose in full summer, red with a love sign, and after the light shone in all directions, it was like a waterfall pouring down, rendering the whole sky as if it was on fire.Immediately after that, more red fireworks rose onto the air, competing to bloom, layers upon layers, gorgeous, and when they fell, they seemed to be a string of shining red lanterns, swaying in the
Neither Alberto nor the rest of the family wanted to tell Lucien where Aurora was.They were all mad at him except Isobel.Isobel slowly wiped her cheeks as she figured out what could be going on with Lucien.Did he suddenly want to fight for Aurora now?If that was the case, it would be to her own advantage.She never really liked Carla, she had just wanted to use her to torment Aurora.And now, she needed Lucien to get Aurora back because if Lucien and Aurora gets back together, she would be able to have Manuel Dumont to herself.She then said to Lucien, "Aurora is on the 20th floor. Mr Dumont booked that floor for her to celebrate her birthday. Don’t you think it’s high time you respect Aurora and your marriage? She’s your wife, yet you allowed her to keep jumping from one man to another. Doesn’t that bother you?”A few days ago, Isobel had seen her at a restaurant with another man.She had taken a picture and sent it to Lucien. She had wanted to make Lucien angry so he would berat
Lucien’s eyes were glued to the name signed "Aurora Diaz".Aurora’s font was very distinctive, because she had learnt from a famous teacher since she was a child, and she learnt running script when she practiced her writing.It led to the fact that later on, her handwriting combined the dignity of regular Script and the fluency of running Script, with a sense of squareness and roundness, her handwriting was refined, forming her own personal style, which was very recognizable to anyone who knew her.Anyone who knew her, personally knew she had a very unique handwriting.Lucien, of course, grew up with her.Aurora’s handwriting was instantly recognizable to him.And right now this signature was indeed a signature that perfectly matches Aurora’s.He stared at the signature for a while.The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was odd.He suddenly wondered what kind of pen was used?He already knew this document was fake but he was finding it hard to believe that Carla had imi
Her voice was filled with despair, as if it could pull one into that miserable situation and break one's heart at the sound of it.“When I was fourteen, I saved up enough money for half a year by picking up scraps, and then secretly went to a clothing shop and bought a dress, the dress was white, with white lace on the neckline and sleeves, and I loved it so much that I hid it under my bed, and when my mum and dad weren't at home, l'd sneak it out and wear it."“One day, my mum came home early and happened to bump into me in my brand new white dress, she insisted that I had stolen the money to buy it, l'll always remember that day...” Carla lowered her head, tears falling down in big chunks, and her shoulders trembled more and more.“I was stripped naked and tied to a big tree in the yard, and she cut the white dress into rags with scissors in front of me, then burned it in a fire, she took a belt and whipped it over my body, over and over again."“It was towards evening, and a lot of
The few relatives walked over to Alberto, sighing.“Manuel Dumont, the heir to the richest family in Spain is Aurora’s boyfriend, this was originally a heavenly fortune for the Diaz family. How could you let her cut off this family at this point?!”“Since childhood, Aurora has always shown signs that she’d be a great person, she was more intelligent than her peers, won so many awards at competition, she was well-mannered and treated people with kindness. She was so good at designs and she made the Diaz family’s business grow when she started designing for us, heck, she was still a minor at that time but her impact was felt in the whole company.The company's current designs, which couldn’t be replaced after so many years were designed by her, although she does not design for the company anymore, but every year, her designs from the past still makes waves for us in the fashion industry. Heck, we have an exhibition coming along, what were you thinking? We need such a person as a part of
