LOGIN3RD POINT OF VIEW♡“I… don’t remember,” Aurelia repeated softly, her gaze still on Seth but not with recognition. It was more like she was trying to place him somewhere and couldn’t.Seth didn’t respond immediately.For a brief second, something crossed his face, something sharp and unsettled, but it disappeared just as quickly.He adjusted his posture slightly, his voice calmer when he spoke again. “It’s okay,” he said. “You’ve been through a lot. The doctors said this might happen.”Aurelia watched him carefully. There was something about the way he spoke, steady, softly, like he was choosing every word before saying it.“Are you… my family?” she asked.The question was simple but it carried weight, Seth didn’t hesitate this time. “Yes.”That answer came too easily.Aurelia nodded slowly, accepting it because she had nothing else to compare it to. “Okay…”She looked around the room again, her eyes moving over everything like she was trying to rebuild a sense of where she was.“What
3RD POINT OF VIEW~The moment Seth reached the car, his hands were already shaking. He yanked the door open, his eyes immediately scanning Aurelia.“Aurelia…”There was no response.Her head had fallen slightly to the side, her body completely still, her breathing faint but there. That was the only thing that stopped him from completely losing control.He reached in quickly, his hands shaking as he tried to check her. “Aurelia, wake up… can you hear me?”Nothing.The silence from her was worse than anything else.Seth swallowed hard, forcing himself to stay focused. He carefully unfastened her seatbelt, his movements rushed but cautious at the same time, then pulled her out of the car.“I’ve got you… you’re okay,” he muttered, even though she couldn’t hear him.He carried her to his car and laid her down across the back seat, adjusting her position quickly before getting into the driver’s seat.He didn’t waste a second.The drive to the hospital was fast, reckless in a way he normally
“Seth how”… Aurelia exclaimed completely bewildered “No it can’t be…”“Yes he caused the accident that killed your parent…” Zane says, confirming it once again.The words didn’t register immediately. For a second, Aurelia just stood there staring at him, like her mind needed more time to process what she had just heard.“That’s not possible,” she said, shaking her head slowly. “You’re wrong… you have to be wrong.”Zane didn’t move closer this time. He stayed where he was, giving her space, but his expression didn’t change. “I wouldn’t say this if I wasn’t sure Aurelia.”Aurelia’s fingers curled slightly against her palm, her breathing uneven now. “No… Seth wouldn’t do something like that.”“It wasn’t intentional,” Zane replied carefully. “But he was involved. And it didn’t just disappear on its own… it was covered.”That made her step back slightly, her body reacting before her mind could fully catch up.“All these years…” she murmured under her breath. “And no one said anything?”Zan
3RD POINT OF VIEWThe day didn’t stay as quiet as Aurelia had hoped.She had barely settled into her office, going through a few documents and responding to emails, when a soft knock came at her door. She didn’t look up immediately, assuming it was Teresa or one if the media teams that wanted to drop a file.“Come in,” she said, her attention still on the document in front of her.The door opened, then closed again.Something about the silence that followed made her look up.Zane.He stood just inside the office, his expression different from earlier. It wasn’t casual this time, and it wasn’t light either. There was something about the way he held himself, like he had already decided what he came to say and wasn’t going to delay it.Aurelia straightened slightly in her seat. “Zane… I thought you already said we'd talk later.”“I did,” he replied, stepping further into the room. “But I really needed to talk to you, it's really necessary.”That made her pause. She closed the document sl
3RD POINT OF VIEW~Sunday morning arrived crisp and calm. Steven was already waiting outside, car idling quietly as Seth and Aurelia climbed in. There was a small, unspoken tension between them, neither saying much on the drive over. Aurelia’s thoughts drifted to yesterday’s events, and to the unread message from Zane. She had deliberately not responded, unsure how to navigate that line now that Seth was fully back in her life.By the time the car pulled up to the Ashford mansion, the sun had fully risen, casting warm light over the sprawling estate. The gates opened as if on cue, and the guards greeted them with respectful nods, stepping aside. The familiar chime of the large doors echoed as they entered, the scent of fresh flowers filling the air. Maids moved about quietly, carrying trays and attending to the usual morning tasks.As Seth and Aurelia walked through the grand hall toward the dining area, voices floated down from ahead mom, dad, and Grandfather, their tones firm but co
3RD POINT OF VIEW~After Seth left the room, Aurelia didn’t move to get dressed immediately. She stayed seated on the bed, the tray still in front of her, her thoughts slowly catching up with everything that had just happened, She let out a small breath and forced herself to focus on the food again, taking another bite even though her mind wasn’t fully on it. The taste was still good, but it didn’t distract her the way it should have. Her attention kept drifting back to Seth, to what he said, to how easily he said it.Remarry.She set the fork down this time and sat up slightly, staring ahead. It sounded simple when he said it, like it was something that could just happen if he decided it should. But it wasn’t simple, not for her. Not anymore.After a few more hours, she finally stood up and went to get dressed properly. When she came back out, the tray was still there untouched from where she left it. She moved it aside, picked up her phone, and glanced at the screen briefly before s

Aurelia POV~Steven slowly pulled into the Ashford mansion’s parking area, easing the car to a stop beneath the tall trees that lined the driveway. The afternoon sun shone brightly above us, casting soft shadows across the wide compound, and a gentle breeze brushed against my face as I opened the d
AURELIA POV They pulled away from each other in an instant.Seth’s eyes darted to me immediately, wide with shock. For a moment, he looked like someone who had just been caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to do. Worry flooded his expression, followed closely by something that looked painful
Aurelia POV ~“I’m grateful for me and Seth’s relationship,” I began slowly, forcing my voice to remain calm as I tried to start in the safest way possible.The moment the words left my mouth, I became aware of how quiet the room had grown. Everyone’s attention was fixed on me now. Grandfather had
