LOGINAurelia has spent three years in a loveless marriage, holding on to a man who was already slipping away. She thinks it can’t get worse until his first love returns. He divorces her without hesitation. He doesn’t know she’s pregnant. Alone, heartbroken, and with nowhere to go, Aurelia is hit by a car. She wakes up to three powerful billionaire brothers claiming her as their long-lost sister, and they take her away from the life that broke her. Five years later, Aurelia is no longer the woman he abandoned. She runs AURELIA, a global luxury fashion empire. Untouchable, cold, and emotionally closed off. So when her ex-husband walks back into her life, begging for another chance, she doesn’t hesitate. “Unless it’s business, you don’t exist to me.” And when he discovers he has a son, he tries to claim him. The child looks at him without recognition and says, “My father is dead. I only have my mummy and my uncles.” For the first time, Dominic is forced to face the full weight of what he lost. Now, the man who once threw her away is the one begging to stay. But Aurelia doesn’t believe in second chances. And this time, walking away might not be his choice.
View MoreI sat there, in the same position for hours.Not thinking clearly…. just staring ahead while everything slowly settled into place.Three years.Three years of living like this. In endurance. I couldn’t do it anymore.It wasn’t even a question now.I didn’t know where I would go. I didn’t know what would happen after I left.But I knew I couldn’t stay here.Not like this.Not with him.I had finally accepted it.Dominic never loved me. He never would. So what was the point? Why stay and wait for the day he would humiliate me even more?Why stay and pretend this was something it wasn’t?A quiet breath left me.There was nothing left here for me.So I decided.I would leave.I reached for my phone and checked the time.6:02 p.m.I stared at the screen for a moment. I hadn’t realized how much time had passed. It didn’t feel like hours. It just felt… empty.I pushed myself up.The moment I stood, my head spun hard.A sharp pain twisted in my stomach, making me flinch as my hand immediately
I didn’t realize how much I had been holding onto until that moment.Until it broke.Footsteps came from the stairs and Mirabel’s expression changed instantly. Her face softened. Her shoulders relaxed. By the time Dominic walked in, she looked completely different.“Let’s go,” he said.His eyes flicked to me.Cold. As if I had done something wrong. He walked past me again.Mirabel followed, then paused. She turned slightly and waved. A small, innocent gesture. But the smirk was still there.Then she left and the door closed.The house went quiet again.My vision blurred.I didn’t know when my legs started moving. I just knew I couldn’t stand there anymore. I walked to the couch slowly and sat down before my body gave out completely. My hands rested on my lap. They felt… empty.So he didn’t choose me. Not really.He just settled for me when he couldn’t have her.The realization settled slowly, heavily, like something sinking to the bottom with no way back up.Mirabel and I met in high
My legs felt weak.I couldn’t move.It was like my body had stopped listening to me the moment I saw her.Mirabel stood up slowly, smoothing her dress like she had all the time in the world. Then she started walking toward me.“It’s been a long time, Rel.”The nickname twisted something deep in my chest.My fingers curled into my palms, nails pressing into my skin, but I kept my face still. I wouldn’t give her anything. Not in front of him.“You look…” she tilted her head slightly, studying me like I was something to be examined. “You look the same.”I didn’t respond.I couldn’t. Because if I said something, my voice would break.“I met with Dominic and told him I wanted to see my best friend,” she continued lightly. “We came here but you weren’t home. Welcome back, we have a lot to catch up on.”She stopped right in front of me.Too close.The scent of her perfume hit me.She leaned in like she was about to hug me.“Who would’ve thought my best friend would end up marrying my ex-boyf
Dominic took his bath and left without saying anything.I didn’t try to stop him this time.What was there to say?He had already told me the truth.He was with Mirabel.And he didn’t feel bad about it.I was still sitting on the bed long after he left.I didn’t move.I just sat there, staring at nothing.My body felt… numb.But my mind wasn’t.It wouldn’t stop.How could Dominic love Mirabel like that… without even knowing she didn’t love him back?How could she stand in front of him, look him in the eyes, and pretend?How did she do it in high school?How is she doing it now?My thoughts stopped abruptly as a sharp wave of nausea twisted in my stomach.I pressed my hand against my mouth and rushed to the bathroom.I barely made it.I dropped to my knees and threw up into the toilet.My head spun as I stayed there, gripping the edge tightly.It came again.I threw up a second time, my body shaking slightly with it.When it finally stopped, I stayed there for a while, breathing uneven
