New day, new start but Ryan’s conference room was ice-cold with tension. The projector displayed the quarterly breakdown of projections and partnership risks, but Ryan’s eyes were blazing with dissatisfaction.
He sat at the head of the table, sharp in a tailored black suit, fingers tapping against the table in a rhythm that screamed restr
(Author’s POV)The moment Aurora saw the file, her breath caught violently in her throat, a sickening wave of dread hollowing out her stomach. She recognized that file instantly. It was the contract. The secret pact she had signed with their late father, Alexander, a year ago. The document that explicitly stated she would leave them once they were unified.Her eyes flew to the single leather armchair across from the couches, finally registering the presence of the middle-aged man sitting there with a heavy heart."Mr. Hart" She whispered, her voice trembling as the sheer gravity of the situation crashed down upon her. She knew exactly why he was here. The one-year anniversary was approaching. The review was due and her husbands had found out."I can explain," Auror
(Author’s POV)The heavy oak doors of the study remained firmly shut, trapping a suffocating, agonizing silence inside. Within those four walls, the Skylar brothers stood frozen, the legal documents resting on Samuel Hart’s lap feeling like a weapon that had just ripped through the center of their lives.Outside, the grand foyer of the mansion remained blissfully ignorant of the devastation.The heavy front doors swung open, and Aurora stepped into the house, a bright, radiant smile gracing her lips. She looked thoroughly refreshed from her girls day out, her cheeks flushed with laughter and her eyes sparkling with the leftover joy of her time with Elara. She carried a couple of small shopping bags, her footsteps light and carefree as she crossed the marble floor.
(Author’s POV)The New York afternoon sun cast long, lazy shadows across the manicured lawns of the Skylar estate. Seeing a rare opening in everyone’s chaotic schedules, Aurora had eagerly slipped out for a much-needed girls' day with Elara. Owen and Ryan were locked in back-to-back corporate meetings downtown, Asher was sweating under the studio lights of a high-fashion advertisement shoot, and Ian was deep in the final hours of haggling over his professional football contract.Knowing how consumed they all were, Aurora had dropped a quick text into their shared group chat, ‘Skylar Diamonds’."Heading out for a girls' day with Elara! Don't work too hard!”At that moment, Skylar brothers decided to rush home early to surprise her
(Author’s POV)The next few weeks in New York slipped away in a blur of total bliss. The lazy, sun-drenched days of Monaco felt like a beautiful dream, but the reality they returned to was filled with its own rhythm of responsibilities and hard work. Yet, no matter how busy the Skylar empire became, love was constantly in the air. For the brothers, taking care of Aurora wasn't just a duty, it was an instinct. They didn't just say they loved her, they showed it through a continuous stream of deliberate, affectionate actions that made her feel like the absolute center of their universe. Aurora had a rare pocket of peace. Her second year of college wouldn't start for another month, leaving her with long, unstructured days to spend at the mansion. She spent her mornings sleeping in, reading in the sunlit conservatory, or enjoying the quiet luxury of the estate. But she was never truly alone, the brothers’ presence lingered in every corner of her day. Owen and Ryan would leave for work a
(Author’s POV)By the time the Skylar family's private jet landed in New York the following afternoon, everyone was exhausted.The vacation had been incredible.

But now, home awaited them.Aurora looked outside the jet window as the familiar skyline of New York came into view. A small smile appeared on her face."We're home”.Owen, seated beside her, intertwined his fingers with hers."I missed my bed” Ian immediately spoke from across the cabin."That's the first thing
(Author’s POV)The morning sun over Monaco broke in a brilliant sheet of gold, reflecting off the azure waters of the Mediterranean and casting a bittersweet glow over the villa. It was their final day in the principality. By evening, the sleek, private Skylar jet would be wheels-up, carrying them back across the Atlantic to the familiar, fast-paced skyline of New York City.Aurora stood on the villa balcony after breakfast, looking at the sparkling sea stretching endlessly before her. A small pout formed on her lips."You don't want to leave” Ian immediately noticed."I really don't” Aurora sighed dramatically."You said the same thing yesterday” Asher chuckled.
