And instantly knew Rylan wasn't what I thought he was.

My breath caught in my throat.

There, in the center of the living room, stood Rylan…getting slapped hard. Over and over again by his so-called mother Raine.

His mother’s hand rose again, and again, each slap echoing like gunshots in my ears. He didn’t flinch, He didn’t block her. He just stood there, shoulders still, head bowed slightly. As if he believed he deserved it. Seeing this weakened my spirit.

Then she pushed him with force.

“Enough!” I snapped.

Rylan straightened up quickly and stepped in front of me, shielding me from her. His hand flew with hurried signs, he was flashing fake smiles at me.

No. I was in the kitchen all day. I didn't , and Mrs Aurora was sleeping in her room.”Aurora blinked fast. “That’s not true Rhoda, you opened the door five hours later…Have you forgotten? I…”“I did not,” Rhoda repeated coldly. “I don’t know what Mrs Aurora is talking about.”My stomach twisted, as I watched the play. I had no idea what was going on.Aurora’s face was drained of color. Her lips trembled, but no wo

My cheek landed against her shoulder as darkness swallowed the rest.At the hospitalA soft beep… a slow drip… muted footsteps. I blinked painfully.The room was bright, white, and cold. A hospital room.Aurora stood beside the doctor, her cheeks pale from crying, her hair tangled like she had been running her fingers through it hundreds of times. Her eyes widened the second she saw my lips move.“W… what happened to me?” my voice came out rough.Aurora didn’t wait. She launched herself at me, wrapping her arms around my waist, burying her face in my chest.“You scared me… You..” her voice cracked. “You collapsed on me, Rylan. In front of everyone...”I placed a weak hand on her back. “I’m fine now.”“No, you

The porridge I made for himthe one I stirred with shaking hands, tasting over and over to make sure it was perfect for his fever..lay splattered on the concrete.Just like the effort I kept giving this marriage.

    Aurora POVI was thrown into a suffocating, airless dark room. “Stay here, till you get back your senses. Rylan only listens to Red, knows this and knows peace!!” Rosie sneered, and banged the door close.I shot upright, my hands immediately reaching out, and they slammed into a wall.Panic crashed into me so fast my heartbeat felt like it was breaking my ribs. My hands and legs were trembling, I recalled my past memories of being locked out by Fiona. And the memory of me spending hours in the cold room. It made my head and heart feel a strong pain I couldn't explain.“H-hello?” My voice echoed back at me. “Is someone there? OPEN THE DOOR!”There was no response.I banged on the door harder, the sound hurting my palms.“OPEN THE DOOR!” I screamed. “IS ANYONE OUT THERE?! ROSIE!!

I kicked it, hit it, kicked it again until my leg throbbed… but no one came.I put on the ligh

    AURORA POV, The doctor finally stepped out of the room.I ran toward him immediately, gripping his coat. He was startled by my sudden presence, and he shifted backward with a horrified face.“H..h..how is he? Is he okay? Please tell me he’s okay..”“He has a high fever,” the doctor said gently, adjusting his coat. “His immune system is weak from stress and exhaustion. He needs rest,… and some alone time. He seems to have been working a lot without resting.”My throat tightened painfully.“Can I… see him now?” I whispered.The doctor nodded.I didn’t wait, I pushed the door open and stepped inside quietly.The room was dim, the curtains half-drawn.The air smelled faintly of medicine.Rylan lay on the bed, his usually sharp eyes half-lidded, unfocused. His hair was damp with sweat, his breathing slow but uneven.He still looked handsome, but fragile like a gigolo.It scared me and also made me laugh.“Rylan…” I whispered, walking closer.His eyes fluttered open, and for a moment he j
