Married to a heartless billionaire Fractured ties
The drive to the villa was intense and fast. Daniel kept tapping his fingers on his legs, unable to believe what his grandfather had just done to him. He bit his lower lip, anxious. Was this because he refused to go to California? No, the old man couldn’t be this cruel to him. No way, he was part of the family and deserved to be treated as one.At the villa, Ciara smiled at the Masons, who had come to visit after hearing from their son what had happened to Damien. While Mr. Wilfred Mason left to visit old man Vladimir’s study, his wife stayed with Ciara as they conversed.“After Junior told me about the incident, I was surprised it wasn’t on the news. I can’t doubt what my son says is true, so my husband and I decided to pay a visit,” Matilda said as Ciara sighed and nodded.“Yes, after his assistant called, Grandpa made sure the news wasn’t aired so he could heal in peace. You know how these reporters are with their gossip,” Ciara replied, and Matilda sighed.“Gladys was a good frien

Back at Aurora’s the motel, she sat by the window, staring out at the empty street. The reality of her pregnancy weighed heavily on her, and the flickering lights outside did nothing to offer comfort. The small town had nothing to give, no support system, no real opportunities for someone in her situation. Her thoughts were clouded by uncertainty, and the more she tried to figure things out, the more trapped she felt.Aurora sighed. She needed to get a phone, but she wasn’t even sure how much money she had left. She was on her own for now, and had to figure things out. The first step was finding a job. She’d take anything that could give her some stability. A plan began to form in her mind, though it felt fragile, like a house of cards that could collapse with the slightest touch.Meanwhile, at the hospital in California, Damien began to stir. His head throbbed, and everything around him felt hazy. He tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through his body, forcing him to remain still.

Aurora sat on the edge of the worn motel bed, staring at her reflection in the cracked mirror. The dull, yellowed walls around her seemed to press in closer with each passing day, suffocating her with the weight of her situation. The motel, with its flickering lights and musty carpets, had become a place she both loathed and relied on. It had sheltered her when she had nowhere else to go. But now, the reality of her pregnancy weighed heavier than ever. The old neon sign outside the window buzzed intermittently, casting a sickly green glow into the room. She ran a hand over her stomach, not yet showing, but every day she could feel the small life growing inside of her. She didn’t have the luxury of time anymore. Her child needed a stable home, and she needed to start saving money fast because she’s not ready to go back to Damien and be treated like she doesn’t matter. Staying here, on the outskirts of the city, wasn’t an option any longer. She needed to go where opportunity lay, wher

Aurora sat quietly in the back of the taxi, staring out at the passing fields as they gave way to the outskirts of the nearest town. She tried to focus on the road ahead, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Damien. The news of his attack had stirred something inside her, a mixture of disbelief and unease. She knew Damien wasn’t a man anyone could easily love; his cold demeanor and ruthless tactics made him feared by many. But even so, who would go so far as to want him dead?She shook her head, trying to dismiss the thoughts. “It doesn’t concern me,” she muttered under her breath, her fingers nervously tracing the edges of her coat. After all, Damien was no longer a part of her life. She had her own struggles now. With her limited funds, she had booked the cheapest room at a rundown motel, a far cry from the more comfortable place she’d stayed in before. The small, dimly lit room offered her little more than a bed and a rusty bathroom, but it would have to suffice for now.After a

Mason took a deep breath, trying to process Damien’s words. “I understand your anger, but going down that road can lead to more chaos. You need to think this through.”Damien sat up in bed as if he hadn’t been unconscious hours ago, his eyes blazing with intensity. “Thinking hasn’t gotten me anywhere, Mason. I’ve played the game by the rules for too long. It’s time to change the game. I won’t allow anyone to take what I’ve built. My mother worked hard for this family. I was just a kid, but I saw everything. I won’t allow the child that was used to push my mother to her death to claim it.”Mason leaned forward, concern etched on his face. “But what about Aurora? She’s in the middle of this now, whether you want her to be or not. If you go after Daniel, it could put her in danger. I haven’t seen or know what she looks like, but I’m sure she won’t be—”“What?” Damien glared at Mason, who chuckled.“It’s only been two days and I’m missing you already,” he said and chuckled.“But why would

Aurora’s face tightened immediately upon hearing the word “boss” from the men around her.“Put me down!” she demanded, struggling against the guards. But they didn’t listen; instead, one held her tightly yet delicately as the other opened the car door. Gently, they placed her inside and adjusted her seat belt.“I’m sorry, ma’am. We have orders to bring you to the boss,” one of them said before closing the door.“Please, don’t take me back to Damien,” Aurora pleaded, her heart racing. She couldn’t imagine the coldness that awaited her if she returned after running away. As the car started moving, Aurora bit her lower lip, frantically thinking of a way to prevent them from taking her back to the mansion.“I’m hungry… I haven’t eaten,” she tried, but got no response.“Please, I’m thirsty,” she added, still met with silence as the guard drove straight to the airport.Aurora nervously rubbed her sweaty hands on her gown. Moments later, she heard the guard speak.“Yes, sir. We conducted a t

The hall was silent as all the department heads of Vladimir Headquarters gathered, looking at the seat of the CEO.Daniel sat at the head of the table, tapping his fingers on the desk while surveying the room. His gaze finally settled on Mr. Ken, the vice president of the company.“You are no longer an employee of the Vladimir empire, so you have no right sitting here, Mr. Ken,” Daniel said coldly, making everyone frown.“See Mr. Kennedy out, and if he refuses, force him out of this company,” he continued, his tone ice-cold.“What’s going on here?” the assistant vice president immediately stood up, only for Daniel to scoff.“Sit down or follow him,” Daniel snapped before turning his attention back to the rest of the staff.“I think it’s not clear to you all that Damien is in a coma and won’t be waking up soon. I’m not just a sit-in CEO, I’m the—”“Boss is…”Mr. Ken tried to interrupt, but the guards dragged him out, silencing the room as they turned their focus back to Daniel.“I’m th

It was 3 a.m. when Simon arrived at the hospital. He parked in the garage, carried Aurora in a bridal style, and made his way to the elevator that would take them up to the presidential suite. The guard on duty bowed as he opened the door. Inside, the room was quiet except for the soft hum of Damien’s life support machine. Damien was asleep, Camila was lying on one couch, and Mason on the other. Simon sighed, noticing the room was full, and decided to lay Aurora beside his boss, knowing the large bed could accommodate them both.After gently placing Aurora on the bed, Simon quietly left the room and went back to sleep in the car, as he hadn’t had proper rest since his boss’s accident.At 5:45 a.m., Simon yawned, opened the car door, and returned to check on his boss. Entering the room, he saw everyone gathered, staring at the still sleeping Aurora.Damien was awake, sitting up and staring at her as well.“When did she arrive?” Camila whispered.“I brought her in at three this morning.

Married to a heartless billionaire First day
It was morning. Stella had arranged office wear—a black pant, white inner blouse, and a suit. She also placed a pair of office heels and a deck of business cards Simon had brought yesterday.Aurora woke up to the delicious aroma of potato soup.“Good morning, madam,” Stella greeted, causing Aurora to smile broadly.“Madam, you will be late,” Stella whispered, making Aurora gasp.“Oh my goodness! I forgot I’m going to work!” she exclaimed excitedly, rushing into the bathroom.“Ma’am, Miss Agatha is calling—FaceTime,” Stella said. But Aurora didn’t respond. She brushed her teeth as quickly as she could, then dashed to the bathroom to freshen up before hurrying to the wardrobe.“Oh, Stella,” Aurora called excitedly as she wore the clothes that Stella had carefully selected.“Ma’am, you have to eat. Boss—”“I’ll eat at the office cafeteria. Wish me luck!” Aurora said excitedly, rushing out with the handbag Stella handed her.Stella sighed and then blushed.“She’s such a kid,” she whispere

Damien watched his father furiously hitting the table in frustration. His hand folded into a fist as he tried to control his anger. “I asked, what did you sign at the hospital?” he demanded, prompting Damien to chuckle. “Accepting the shares. Why?” Damien replied, causing John to clench his fist. Apparently, his father hadn’t been given any position in the company. “I refuse to be left out of the family company!” he shouted angrily. Damien looked at the lawyer who had packaged everything; the man gave a bow and left. “What should I do about— “He didn’t even give Ciara anything. That’s wickedness,” John interrupted. Damien looked at Simon, who immediately rushed to help him up. “Since you only have 5% shares in the company, I advise you to stay away. I’ll be appointing a new CEO,” Damien said, making John scoff. “Sly old bastard. He even gave properties to an unborn child. This is absurd,” John muttered, then sighed. “I refuse to accept this,” he said and left. Aurora looked a

Aurora’s eyes scanned Sarah, then she sighed. Camila stared at the pregnant woman, who looked a little disheveled with swollen eyes, like she had been crying.“Don’t act dumb with me, Aurora,” Sarah said, prompting another sigh from Aurora.“I don’t know—”“Don’t play dumb with me!” Sarah snapped, grabbing Aurora’s shirt. Immediately, the guards dragged her away from Aurora.“Be careful,” Aurora said, then sighed.“He said he was with you. Once your husband paid the ransom, we would pay our debt. Those were the last words he said,” Sarah cried.“And what does she have to do with that?” Camila asked, causing Sarah to scoff.“Why? Every time he talks about you, he—”“He talks about how I can be the source to pay for your debt? Why does it have to be me? You both stabbed me deep in the heart, knowing I have no one else. What do you want from me?” Aurora cut in angrily.“We didn’t stab you. You were in my space. I wanted you to leave,” Sarah replied.“Fine. I left. So why are you both sti

The sound of rumbling chains stirred Daniel awake. His head felt heavy, and he groaned, rubbing his neck before finally opening his eyes.This place looked familiar. He had been here before.The image of Damien beating him flashed through his mind, making him sit up immediately.“Looks like you remember where you are,” Simon’s voice sounded, prompting Daniel to raise his head.“Why am I here?” he asked, making Simon chuckle.“Isn’t it obvious?” Simon replied, then sighed. “You’ll be staying here for a while until my boss recovers. You’ve been causing a nuisance.”Daniel scoffed. “Do you think he can do anything? He can’t kill me.”Simon burst out laughing. “Before you forget—the only person the boss ever listened to, the only person who could make him reconsider, is dead. Your mother killed him. Now he has no conscience to hold him back. The beating was a warning, but you didn’t listen. Don’t worry, I’ll either arrange your funeral or visit once you’re disabled. I hope you choose wise

The maid stood as she watched her madam bite her fingers nervously. Beverly gently relaxed her palm on her stomach before sighing.“When you approached Kayla, what did she say?” Beverly asked, prompting her maid to sigh.“She asked me why I was looking for you. She said you disappeared, and though she looked for you, there was no clue as to where you might be. So she gave up. Instead of continuing the search, she decided to focus her energy on caring for your sick mother and handling her company,” the maid replied, making Beverly sigh in relief.“That means my mother is alright,” she said, visibly relieved.She had also not seen Damien or Aurora at the funeral. She wondered where those two had gone while they were burying the old man.Beverly released a breath of relief and relaxed her back, gently rubbing her slightly protruding stomach. A smile spread across her face as she imagined how hurt and surprised that bitch would be to see she was the first woman to bear Damien a child.⸻T

Aurora’s eyes remained wide open, her mouth slightly parted as she slowly raised her head to look at Damien. His weak eyes stared back at her, and his lips were dry and cracked.Tears began to flow from her eyes as she stared at him.“Will you stop…” Damien tried to speak.Aurora cut him off with an intended kiss — a kiss of gratitude, pain and love, filled with joy for surviving.His lips were dry, and she could feel it. He was too weak to energetically kiss her back.Aurora broke the kiss and hugged him tightly.“Awch,” Damien hissed in pain as her hands touched his bandaged hand.“Oh… sorry, baby,” she said, wiping her tears.“Baby,” Damien called, looking at her, causing Aurora to sigh.“No time for jokes, Damien,” she said, making Damien chuckle.“Come here, you love crying too much,” he said, patting her hair slowly.“When did you wake up?” she asked, and Damien smiled.“You’ve been on the phone with Camila — how would you notice your husband has been awake since morning?” he te

Inside the presidential suite, the steady beep of the life-support machine filled the room. Aurora clung tightly to Damien’s unconscious hand, her tears refusing to stop. She thought he was dead. After waiting endlessly for the surgery to end, her heart had pounded without rest, desperate in prayer for her husband’s life.She had forgotten she was bleeding and her clothes were stained until a nurse approached, gently handing her clean clothes and sanitary supplies.Raising her head to gaze at Damien’s sleeping face, Aurora closed her eyes and continued sobbing. Simon, standing nearby, could feel the heaviness of her grief. He sighed, then approached quietly.“Madam,” he whispered, leaning close.“Ma—”Just then, the door burst open. Camila and Agatha rushed in.“What happened?” Camila cried, her eyes already filled with tears as she hurried to Damien’s side.Aurora sat up, allowing Agatha to pull her into a comforting hug.“I thought he was dead,” Aurora whispered brokenly into Agatha

John cleared his throat, then smiled at Aurora. “Aurora,” he called, smiling. “Father,” Aurora responded with a smile. “Sir Damien,” the manager who was with John now greeted. “I’ve told you to stay away from anything that has to do with my mother,” Damien said, making John sigh. “Thank you for your help, Manager Christ. I’ll take my leave,” John said and left. “You’re fired,” Damien said as he entered the elevator with Aurora. “Boss, I’m sorry, he—” The manager tried to plead, but the elevator doors closed. “You can’t just fire—” “It’s my company, my rules. I warned him. My father’s presence here—I should be informed. He disobeyed me. I would have sent him to the hospital before firing him, but you’re here. I don’t want to traumatize you,” Damien said. Aurora gently held his hand. “At least… aren’t you curious to know why your father came?” “Same reason as always. It’s his dead wife’s property. He came to visit,” Damien replied, making Aurora sigh. “Well, I don’t see an

Aurora walked into the wardrobe where Damien was, after she was done eating. Her eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.“What’s funny?” Damien turned around, wearing white pants and a beach shirt.“What’s in all these boxes?” she asked, opening one.“Ahh…” she looked at Damien, who smiled.“Go and bathe. I’ll fix your sanitary items for you,” he said, causing Aurora to bow her head, then chuckle again.“Do you want to start a company for manufacturing sanitary pads?” she asked.“Do you want me to?” he responded, making Aurora smile, then sigh.“You already have too much on your plate. That’s very unnecessary,” she said as she opened another box.“Oh, Damien…” she muttered upon seeing it was filled with tampons.“Go and bathe. I’ll select clothes for you to wear. I didn’t order other clothes along—I was in a haste while ordering all of them,” he said, and Aurora nodded.“Actually, I don’t like tampons. They make me uncomfortable,” she said, then left the wardrobe.In less tha
