The brothers were still absorbed in the decorations and the glowing path.
“This is unreal” Ian walked a few steps onto the deck, turning slowly in a circle.
“You coordinated this within an hour?” Ryan shook his head faintly.
(Author’s POV)Morning sunlight had slowly shifted into a soft, warm glow by the time Aurora and Owen finally sat down together at the small dining table in the suite.The kitchen still carried the faint aroma of freshly cooked food, and Owen who had initially protested was now eating without pause. Aurora sat across from him at first, her chin resting lightly on her palm as she watched him.“You’re eating like you haven’t seen food in days” She teased.“Because I haven’t. Proper food, at least” Owen didn’t even look up.“That’s your fault” Aurora rolled her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips.“Mm,&
(Author’s POV)Elena’s name lingered in the air, fragile and uncertain.“My name is… Elena”.For a second, she waited for something, anything to change in Owen’s expression. A flicker of recognition, a softening, a sign that she wasn’t just nothing to him but there was none. His gaze remained blank, distant and unaffected.And that hurt more than anything.Elena swallowed, her fingers tightening around the bouquet as she tried to steady herself. Her voice, when she spoke again, was softer now, meeker, stripped of the confidence she had walked in with.“I… I work at the managerial post in your South Korea branch,” She sa
(Author’s POV)For a few long seconds, neither of them moved. The hallway stood silent, almost unnaturally so, as Aurora and the girl simply stared at each other.Aurora’s hand still rested lightly on the door, her posture relaxed but her eyes had sharpened.The girl, on the other hand, still held the bouquet in her hands, though her grip had subtly tightened. The bright, cheerful energy she had arrived with had completely vanished, replaced by something guarded, suspicious and wary.It was she who broke the silence first.“Who are you?” She asked, her brows drawing together in a faint frown.The question hung in the air.
(Author’s POV)Aurora was still wrapped in Owen’s arms, her legs comfortably draped on either side of his lap, her fingers lazily playing with the collar of his shirt. Neither of them seemed in any hurry to move.Owen leaned back slightly against the couch, one arm securely around her waist, the other resting along her back. His thumb traced slow, absent-minded circles against her side, as if reassuring himself she was really there.“You know, I still think I’m dreaming” He murmured, his voice low and teasing.“Oh really?” Aurora raised a brow, her lips curving into a playful smile.“Mm” His gaze lingered on her face, soft but mischievous.
(Author’s POV)The journey that had felt so long, so filled with anticipation, finally came to an end.As the jet began its descent, the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the large windows, spilling golden light across the cabin. Aurora sat by the window, her face turned slightly toward the glow, her eyes soft yet shining with excitement.‘South Korea’, she was finally here.A slow, uncontrollable smile spread across her lips, bright, radiant, almost matching the warmth of the sun brushing against her skin. Her fingers curled lightly against the armrest as her thoughts drifted to one person.Owen.His reaction, the way his eyes would widen, the way
(Aurora’s POV)The evening arrived far too quickly.What had felt like a long, unhurried day suddenly seemed fleeting as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and fading gold. The Skylar mansion, once filled with the quiet comfort of shared moments, now carried a subtle tension, one that none of us voiced, but all of us felt.I stood near the entrance for a moment before stepping out, my bag already taken care of by the staff. The convoy was ready. Multiple sleek black cars lined up, engines humming softly, waiting.This wasn’t just a simple drop-off. It never was, when it came to me.Ryan took the driver’s seat of the main car, his expression calm but quieter than usual. Asher
(Author’s POV)Owen’s frustration had only grown throughout the day. Every meeting, every report, and every single conversation at the office had been filled with irritation, his patience running razor-thin.
(Aurora’s POV)As the meeting ended, I wasted no time. My heart was pounding as I quickly walked out of the hall, my mind racing. I knew Ian would have questions, and I wasn’t ready to answer them, especiall
(Aurora’s POV)I was overjoyed when I learnt that I would be attending college and pursuing my aspirations. Next morning, I woke up with a smile for the first time in this mansion. I got ready and adjusted my dres
(Ian’s POV)I leaned casually against my car, scrolling through my phone as I waited for Aurora. My mind drifted to our tense, quiet drives the past few days, and I sighed.
