Her Revenge Chapter 52
Chapter 52The courtroom felt frigid, not in temperature but in the way its walls allowed riches, power, and the idea of justice to breathe. Aurora's hands tightened into fists as Dorian left the courtroom with that same haughty smile that made her stomach turn over. She sat stiffly in the back row.He was at liberty. Though she knew his power was strong, witnessing it come to pass in real time made her shudder. The judge had hardly spent ten minutes before granting him bail. Ten minutes. That was all it took to keep her darkest dream alive.Aurora held the bench's edge and urged herself to remain calm, not letting him see how much this upset her. But that arrogant, knowing glance told her he already knew as his eyes landed on hers across the room.Sylas was next to her right away. "Let's go," he said, his voice tightly under control.She didn't move immediately, her head caught in the maelstrom of what had just happened. Her body froze in place.Again, Sylas said, "Aurora," firmer th
Her Revenge Chapter 51
Chapter 51I was in agony. My cranium throbbed with a dull pain, pulsing in sync with my heart. My limbs were slow, my body felt weighty, as though I had been underwater. When I tried to move, something cold and merciless stopped me. Metal, specifically. I blinked quickly to help my sight concentrate. The space around me sharpened into something worse than a dream. A suite in a fancy hotel. Detailed. Beautiful. Deals were negotiated, secrets were shared, and power was manipulated in this kind of game of chess. And I was the prize queen.. Thick, silver cuffs held my wrists fast to the headboard, the chain short enough to prevent much movement. The cold silk sheets under me helped to offset the intensity of my panic. I battled yanking at the straps, but they stayed still. The room burst in slow, delighted laughter. “Oh, you're awake.”Odian. Leg crossed, he sat in a soft leather chair across from the bed with one hand holding an amber glass. Long shadows from the mellow glow
Her Revenge Chapter 50
Chapter 50The restaurant was poorly lit, the kind of place where secrets were shared softly over costly whisky. The air smelt like old oak and leather, but behind it something more sneaky lingered—a trap just ready to be sprung. I came across him right away. Sitting in a booth in the rear, Dorian had legs crossed and a smile pulling at his lips like he had already won. These were always his favourite times—when he could exercise control and cause someone to squirm. Still, I was not here to engage in his game. Here I was meant to finish it. As I came, my heels clicked against the beautiful oak floor. I refused to waver, to let him see even a hint of uncertainty. This was my conflict. Not Sylas's. not anyone else's. Not sitting, I stopped just short of the table. "What would you want?" Dorian let out a sharp breath, acting disappointed. "Aurora, sweetheart, is that any way you would welcome your former husband? Not any pleasantries? At my sides, my hands closed into f
Her Revenge Chapter 49
Chapter 49The silence in my penthouse lasts far too much. The air still smells like the traces of my impetuous choice—the kiss, the heat, the instant I nearly let myself trust in something that didn't lead to devastation. But the second I withdrew; the planet collapsed once more, and I was reminded of the reason I cannot afford to be weak. Turning away from Sylas, I press trembling fingertips to my lips. My heart asks for something I cannot let myself want, pounding against my ribs. I should not have done it, I whisper. Sylas stays near enough for me to feel his body behind me, not moving from where he is standing. His voice has an intolerable patience—deep and consistent. "You're not running from this, Aurora." I shut my eyes. "I'm not hurrying." But I'm . Always I've. The storm outside howls at the glass windows, rattling through the vacant areas of my house and making me feel smaller than I would like to be. Tonight is weight—the kiss, the longing, the awareness th
Her Revenge Chapter 48
Chapter 48The restaurant is poorly lighted, with a personal glow softening shadows on the immaculate white tablecloth. Softly in the background, a string quartet whispers a violin against the tension in the air. I ought not to be here. I are aware of this. Still, I find myself unable to get up from across from Sylas and watch the candlelight flutter in his emerald-green eyes. Not following my current daily schedule. I still find Dorian's onslaught cutting through me like glass in my memory. He had held my wrist too firmly, his words a piercing whisper into my flesh. “You belong to me, Aurora. Remember not to forget that.” My hold on my wine glass gets firmer in remembrance. I sip, the red liquid scorching down my throat, but it doesn't help me to relax. Sylas remarks. He certainly does. He always finds it. His little taps on the table, a silent invitation for me to talk. But I don't. For I might not stop once I start. At last, his voice low and steady, "You're quie
Her Revenge Chapter 47
Chapter 47 I slept very little. My eyes closed and I heard his voice every time. "I’ve wanted you long before you ever knew." Replaying the phrases in my head like a song I couldn't stop, they kept looping over and over until they were a constant feature of my thinking. Sylas had said, but it was his manner of saying it as well. The resonance of his voice, intense. The way his fingertips had barely touched my jaw yet left a scar deep under my flesh. I had been a few seconds away from caving in. Not able to undo a mistake seconds away from creating one. I therefore simply carried out the one action I knew how to undertake. I went running. A Divide Between Us: A Wall I poured myself into for the following two days. Emails; calls; meetings; calls for proposals Anything to help one avoid thinking. Anything designed to generate distance. Sylas did not exert effort. Nevertheless, he observed. Pining. Every time he walked into a room, I sensed his look. I could sense h
