LOGINMorning came, and Quin dressed excitedly before rushing to work.Inside the CEO’s office, a man stood facing Damien while the sound of his stamp echoed through the room.Quin cleared her throat and put on a bright smile.She softly called her boss’s name three times before walking to stand in front of him.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted, waiting for her charm to take effect.To her surprise, Damien didn’t even raise his head. He continued signing the documents before finally speaking.“You told Mr. Alphonso that I was doing business with Mr. Rico?” he asked, lifting his eyes to meet hers.Quin remained silent for a moment, still expecting her charm to work. But nothing happened.“Will you answer me before I send your ugly face to hell?” Damien’s voice came out cold and sharp.Quin gasped and swallowed hard.“I… I didn’t know he had any connection with Mr. Rico. He asked me out on a date and used the deal to threaten me, so I only told him that… that he shouldn’t feel special because
Damien didn’t stutter. He simply wanted his wife to understand why he had done what he did.Aurora sat on the bed and lowered her head.“You don’t have to forgive me if you don’t want to. But I want you home, Aurora. Please, sweetheart,” Damien pleaded.Aurora sighed.She was confused and didn’t know what to do.She looked at Damien, the man who was her husband, the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.But he was cruel.Could she really continue living with him?Could she overlook everything he had done?Those questions replayed endlessly in her mind.“It was to protect you,” Damien said as he stood up.“Protect me?” Aurora scoffed.Just then, there was a knock on the door.Aurora stood up to answer it, but Damien stopped her.“I’ll get it.”He opened the door and found Mason standing outside.“Why are you here?” Damien asked coldly.“Aurora,” Mason called.Aurora walked over.“Let him in, Damien,” she said.“No, don’t worry. I only came to let you know that Dad agreed t
Mason struck Damien’s hands repeatedly, trying to free himself, but he was no match for him.James watched in horror as Mason’s eyes began to bulge. He quickly looked around, desperately searching for a way to stop his boss before he seriously hurt him.Suddenly, an idea came to him.He immediately pulled out his phone.“Boss! Boss! Madam is calling!” he shouted.Damien instantly released Mason.Mason dropped to his knees, coughing violently as he struggled to catch his breath.Damien slowly turned toward James, who immediately lowered his head.“Forgive me, sir. She didn’t—”“Urgh!”James groaned in pain as Damien drove a punch into his stomach.“That’s for lying to me,” Damien said coldly before turning back to Mason.“You should leave before I snap the life out of you.”Mason cleared his throat and slowly got to his feet.“I’m not scared of you, Damien. Your wife doesn’t want to see you until you reveal your hidden child. I can’t believe you hid a child you had with Beverly after e
The car fell silent. Aurora looked at her husband. His hands tightened around the steering wheel before he started the engine again and drove off.“I asked you a question,” she said before looking away.“Yes. It wasn’t planned,” he admitted.Aurora scoffed.“Not planned? Just when I thought our marriage was finally on the right track, another unplanned child appears. How old is he?” she asked, trying hard not to shed tears.“Three months old. He’s not with me. He’s with his foster parents,” Damien replied.Aurora frowned.“I… I don’t understand. What do you mean he’s with his foster parents?”“It’s my past. I didn’t tell you because it’s my past,” Damien answered.Aurora looked away in disbelief.“Three months? Your past? Damien, when will I finally get some closure in this marriage? When will Beverly stop being a part of our lives? I’ve been through enough. I’ve suffered enough, Damien. I… I don’t want to live like this anymore.”She wiped away the tears that had already begun to fal
Aurora gasped when she saw Simon. She rushed out and ran toward him.“Simon! Oh goodness, you’re alive! I saw you… You died. I…”“I had to die, ma’am, to save my mother’s life,” he replied, making Aurora frown. She turned toward her husband, who let out a sigh.“It’s a long story,” Damien said.“I’m sorry for leaving. I miss working with—”“Meet me at the stable,” Damien interrupted.“But you offended my husband. He said you betrayed him, and that’s why he killed you,” Aurora said, making Simon smile.“That’s just a story, ma’am,” he replied.“Simon!” an elderly woman called.Simon turned around.“Mom,” he said before looking back at Aurora.“That’s my mother. You two can catch up while I go see the boss,” he said before walking away.“Aww, Damien’s pretty little wife,” the elderly woman said with a warm smile.“Good day, ma’am,” Aurora greeted politely.“Good day, my dear,” the woman replied.“Are you pregnant?” she asked.Aurora nodded shyly with a smile.“How did you know?”“I’m a
Aurora gasped, then looked at her stained clothes before lifting her eyes to Quin.Quin looked at her stained skirt, then hissed in anger. Both women stared at each other with burning hostility.“Get me something to change this minute!” Aurora said angrily, and Cynthia immediately nodded.“Yes, ma’am,” she said, but Aurora stopped her.“Not you, Cynthia. The culprit — the one who caused this.”Aurora looked at Quin, who turned and left immediately.The staff and customers nearby began to murmur as some customers quickly brought out their phones to record the scene.Aurora turned away and headed to the VIP section to clean up.⸻Immediately, the news hit the internet.“A SPOILT RICH HEIRESS SCREAMING AT HER SECRETARY FOR SPILLING ORANGE JUICE ON HER DRESS.”Views climbed instantly as people became curious about who the rich heiress was and what family she belonged to.Comments poured in. Some supported the heiress, while others sided with the secretary. The internet became divided, and
*Few Hours Before Damien’s Arrival*Just like every other night, Daniel was in his bar. The music was loud, he lit up his cigar while smooching the girls around him, laughing.His assistant walked towards him, then bowed and whispered something to him. Daniel sent him away, not ready to deal with t
The room was cold and quiet. Sara watched as Audrey tried to eat his meal before taking his pills, still recovering from Damien’s torture.“You went to her like a fool. It makes me doubt the fact that you said you love me. Didn’t you see how she acted like we were never best friends? And yet you—”
Aurora struggled to free herself from the pressure of the pillow suffocating her, but she was too weak and fragile. The fear of losing her baby overwhelmed her fear of losing her own life.Meanwhile, Stella, who had been sleeping on the couch, woke to Aurora screaming and shaking in her sleep. Imme
Aurora’s gasp echoed through the dimly lit room. Her breath caught as her gaze fell upon Audrey, slumped in the corner. The man who once radiated confidence and pride now appeared as a shadow of his former self. His clothes hung loosely on his gaunt frame, his skin pale and sickly. Trembling hands
