Aurora's POV

The rain from the night before had turned into a thick, suffocating fog by the time midnight rolled around.

The engine of Frank’s black, unmarked sedan pulled up to the curb outside Jasmine’s building right on time, idling loudly in the empty street. Jasmine and I ran down the front steps, our hoods pulled low against the damp air. I yanked the front passenger door open and climbed inside, while Jasmine slipped into the back seat, clutching a large, empty leather tote bag against

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    At His Best

    [ AURORA’S POV ]The elevator chime echoed through the silent hallway of the 50th floor like a judge's gavel.I stepped out onto the polished marble, wiping a stray tear from my cheek with the back of my trembling hand. My jaw was set tight, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs as I smoothed down the front of my gray suit. I walked past the glass partitions toward my desk, trying to draw in a deep, steadying breath.Before my heels even reached my workstation, the sharp, authoritative ring of my desk phone shattered the quiet.I froze. The digital clock on my desktop monitor blinked in bright white numbers: 7:41 AM.Eleven minutes late.I swallowed the lump of burning rage in my throat, walked over, and picked up the heavy receiver. "Executive Suite, Aurora speaking.""My office. Now."Williams’ dark baritone was ice cold, sharp enough to cut through glass. The line went completely dead before I could even open my mouth to respond.I set the receiver down on its cradle w

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Once Bitten Twice Shy

    [ AURORA’S POV ]I barely slept a wink that night.I tossed and turned until six in the morning, my mind racing with pure nervous energy before finally pulling myself out of bed. I showered, threw on my crisp gray tailored suit, and ran out the door.I could not afford to be late for work. Williams Sterling had explicitly commanded me to be at my desk by seven-thirty sharp, and I was determined not to give him another reason to call me incompetent.I reached the gleaming glass entrance of Sterling Tower at precisely seven-twenty. Relief washed over me as I walked up the wide granite steps, pulling my sleek black employee badge out of my handbag to scan at the heavy glass turnstiles."Hold it right there."A thick, booming voice shattered the quiet morning lobby.A tall, broad-shouldered security guard in a dark blue uniform stepped directly into my path, blocking the turnstile. He was built like a brick wall, his face hardened into a scowl, a leather holster strapped tightly across hi

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Pass

    [ AURORA’S POV ]The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur of focused, relentless efficiency.Every time my desk phone rang, I answered within two chimes. Every document Williams requested was delivered in digital format before he could even finish typing his request. I kept my head down, my posture flawless, and my voice completely neutral whenever Julian or Jasmine called down the line.By six o’clock, the heavy corporate traffic on the 50th floor had trickled down to a absolute standstill. The sun was setting over the city skyline, casting long, crimson shadows across the polished marble floor of the executive suite.The chime of my desk phone cut through the quiet room once more.I picked up the receiver instantly. "Executive Suite, Aurora speaking.""Miss Aurora," Julian’s calm, level voice sounded over the line. "Mr. Sterling is departing for the evening. You are cleared to wrap up your desk and head home.""Thank you, Julian," I replied smoothly. "Is there anything else requir

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Class

    [ AURORA’S POV ]I stood in the center of the massive, empty atrium for three full minutes, my chest heaving as I forced the burning tears back into my eyes.I refused to let them fall. I refused to give Donald, the women in the pantry, or Williams Sterling the satisfaction of breaking me on my very first day.I walked back toward the executive assistant desk, setting the silver tray down on the dark marble counter. My hands were still trembling, but the raw shame was slowly hardening into a cold, fierce resolve. Donald had told me I was useless every single day for years. Williams Sterling had just called me incompetent after six hundred seconds on the job.If Williams wanted a meek, helpless girl who crumbled at the first harsh word, he was going to be bitterly disappointed.The quiet chime of my desk phone broke through the silence.I took a deep breath, smoothing down the front of my blazer, and picked up the receiver. "Executive Suite, this is Aurora.""You survived the first vol

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    5 minutes

    [ AURORA’S POV ]Five minutes.I picked up the black keycard Julian handed me and headed down the long, quiet corridor toward the executive pantry. I kept my head high, focusing on the calm, composed posture I had spent the last three days practicing with Jasmine.When I opened the double glass doors to the pantry, my stomach dropped.The room was far from empty. Staff from the adjacent corporate departments filled the space, a long line snaking past the counters. Worse, a group of three women in sleek designer dresses stood right by the espresso machines, chatting and laughing softly among themselves while holding up the entire line.I walked up to the counter, keeping my tone polite and calm. "Excuse me, I need to prepare a fresh press for Mr. Sterling's office. May I quickly use the brass machine?"The tall blonde at the front of the group turned around slowly. Her eyes dragged down my tailored suit, taking in my figure. Even after three days of intense workouts and altered clothin

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Oh Yes Baby

    **[ AURORA’S POV — CHAPTER 27 ]**The ride back down the elevator was a blur of blurred neon lights and quiet, suffocating agony.I don't even remember walking through the towering glass doors of Sterling Global into the cool evening air. My feet just moved on autopilot, carrying my numb body through the bustling city streets until I reached the small, cramped apartment I was sharing with Jasmine.The second the wooden door clicked shut behind me, the last thread of my composure snapped.My knees gave out. I collapsed onto the worn linoleum floor, pulling my legs up to my chest as raw, breathless sobs ripped from my throat."Aurora?!"Footsteps rushed across the room, and within seconds, Jasmine was on her knees beside me, her arms wrapping tightly around my shaking shoulders."Aurora, hey, hey, look at me," Jasmine panicked, pulling my hands away from my tear streaked face. "What happened? You said you were going in for the interview! Did... did Donald find you? Did someone hurt you?
