DIVORCED BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 112
AURORA The staff member looked between us. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but this guest already expressed interest in the dress. She was about to try it on."Vanessa didn't even glance at her. "You said it was for bidding, didn't you?""It is, but—""Then I'm bidding." She finally looked at the staff woman. "You can't refuse a bid for a product you were going to auction anyway. That's not how bidding works."The woman opened her mouth to argue but closed it after a second. You'd think selecting all the events you attend would somehow stop you from meeting the people you never want to see. I wasn't going to blame the universe for being so cruel. It was my fault. It was my fault for honoring an invite from someone who claimed to be my mother's bestie, from a woman I barely knew less than an hour ago and even now.My assistant stepped forward, anger tainting her features. "Excuse me, but Ms Bishop was here first. She was already in the process of—"Vanessa cut her off. "I'm sorry, I don't rememb

AURORA I found a spot and stood near the back, a glass of champagne in my hand I occasionally took a sip from to stop myself from dying from boredom. The bubbles even went flat a long time ago.After a moment, Daniel Sterling and his wife walked up the podium, his voice booming through the atrium like he was addressing a stadium instead of a room full of wealthy people. "Uhm…” He cleared his throat and tapped the microphone repeatedly before continuing. “Good evening beautiful ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us tonight.” He looked at his wife lovingly and then back to the crowd. “This mall has been a dream of ours for years, and to see it finally come to life is beyond anything we could have imagined.""Tonight is about more than just shopping to us, I believe. It's about community, after all it is the future of Sacramento."The crowd erupted I to applause as he took a step back and let Morticia step forward. "I just wanted to add a few things to what my husband said. I w

AURORA Saturday came faster than I expected.I stood in front of the full-length mirror in Lydia's bed room, smoothing down the red dress I bought yesterday. It was bold, fitted, and would demand attention. The fabric was smooth against my skin, the color deep and almost rich like old wine. I turned slightly, checking the fit, and th accentuation of all the right curves.Lydia groaned behind me, a makeup brush in her hand, her focus entirely on the back of my head.“Can you stop turning around?” I sighed and turned around to face her. She dabbed something on my cheek. "At this point you're going to late!”I was nervous. The gala was tonight, and I still didn't know who sent the invitation or why. "Like I was saying, they're massive in this city, it's only expected that the mall is going to generate ridiculous income.""Imagine how much she's going to make tonight. Everyone will want to show off their wealth, they'll get things they don't even want.”"Wish I got an invite." She groa

AURORA Caleb's office was a mess when I walked in.Papers everywhere, files stacked on the floor, coffee cups scattered across the desk like a small army has been camping out. He was hunched over his laptop, his hair a disaster, his tie loosened and crooked. He looked like he hasn't slept in days. The bags under his eyes were dark enough to be bruises."Rough night?" I asked, closing the door behind me.He looked up, blinking like he was trying to remember who I was. "Rough week."I walked over and sat down across from him, pushing aside a stack of papers to make room for my elbows. "You said you found something."He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his face with both hands. His stubble was longer than usual, it was obvious he hasn't shaved for a while now. "You know Thomas Hayes' wife? Patricia? I think she knows something."I felt my stomach tighten. I thought we dropped this. "What kind of something?""She really doesn't look that grieved for someone whose husband got shot."I

AURORA I stared at the package for a long time.My fingers hovered over the edge of the envelope. C's footsteps fading down the hallway. The office was quiet, the only sound was the hum of the air conditioning and my own nervous breathing.I slowly tore open the carton ready to be spooked or sent flying to the other side of the office but all I saw inside was an envelope. I picked it up and pulled the envelope open slowly, careful not to tear it. Inside was a single piece of thick cardstock, a luxurious cream-color, with gold lettering.> Dear Aurora Vale. You are cordially invited to the Grand Opening Gala of Sterling Mall.> Hosted by Daniel and Morticia Sterling.> Date: Saturday, 7 PM> Location: Sterling Mall, Grand Atrium> Formal attire required. RSVP to the Sterling Estate by Thursday.> This invitation is non-transferable. ID required at entrance.Uh...what?I read it twice, then a third time, and then another. Pausing only to look around. This looks like a prank, but goodn

A month passed and we still haven't get any closer. Every lead we followed turned cold. Every door we knocked on stayed shut. By the time I got to Richard Bennett's place I was told he's moved after his sister died and no freaking body knew who this sister is or where she lived. Why that timing? Why was it that at the time I finally worked up the courage to go see him, he was gone.One month from six months gone and we haven't gotten anywhere. The investigation stalled and we were nearing the point where the case was going to fizzle out if nothing was done.All the files, all the cases against Gregory gathered dust. Thomas Hayes was dead and his killer was still out there. And I was still here, in Sacramento, spinning my wheels. Every day felt the same. Wake up, check for updates, find nothing, go to work, come home, stare at the ceiling.Repeat. Repeat. And some days just looks different by just one extra task, either take Arya to the hospital for checkup as her headache isn't sound

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 che

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 s

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 parent
