LOGIN3RD POINT OF VIEW“Aurelia have you talked to Seth yet?” Zane’s voice rang through his end of the call, smooth as usual but with a clear edge of concern beneath it.“Why?” Seth replied immediately, his tone sharp and direct. “This was your plan all along… why did you tell her, Zane? Why?” His voice rose slightly before he checked himself, his jaw tightening as he glanced toward grandfather Ashford.Zane didn’t answer right away. When he finally spoke, his tone had shifted, more focused now.“Where is she?” Seth didn’t hesitate. “She’s at the hospital.”Zane’s response came quickly. “Hospital?! what happened?”“She had an accident,” Seth said, keeping it short. “A car crash.”Zane inhaled slowly on the other end. “Is she okay?” “She’s fine.”“I’m coming to see her, send me the hospital address.”“No,” Seth said instantly, his voice firm and angry “You’re not coming anywhere.”There was a pause, but Zane didn’t back down. “I need to see her.”“You’ve done enough already, if had just kep
3RD POV♡The car finally stops in front of the hospital after what felt like a really long ride, at least it felt that way for Grandfather Ashford. Throughout the drive, his mind refused to settle, constantly circling back to what Seth had told him earlier.Aurelia finally knows the real truth of her parents death.The truth he had spent years keeping buried had finally surfaced, and not by accident.But exposed by Zane himself. Grandfather Ashford’s jaw tightened slightly as Zane's name crossed his mind again. He leaned back briefly in his seat before opening the door, stepping out with an urgency that matched the tension building inside him.For the first time in a long while, he felt like he had miscalculated something important.He had been the one to insist Zane return. He had believed distance and time had done their work, that whatever Zane knew or suspected had faded into something insignificant. Now it was clear he had been wrong.No wonder Zane had agreed so easily, this ha
3RD 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
AURELIA POV♡“Who is it?” Teresa asked casually, glancing at my phone when she noticed me looking at the screen.“It’s nothing,” I replied quickly. “Just an app notification.” Even though Teresa knew me better than most people at the company, she still didn’t know about my relationship with Seth b

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
