Aurora's POVMy eyes widened at what lay before me. We were at the seashore, but what left me dumbfounded was the sandy floor adorned with red roses and candles. A wave of sweet fragrance hit my senses. I looked around and saw the most beautifully decorated space I could have ever imagined. A cold breeze gently caressed my face as I took in the breathtaking view.A trail of rose petals in shades of burgundy and cherry red led me to a small seating area set up with comfortable cushions and throws. As I approached, I saw a table covered with red satin cloths and silverware, complete with a bottle of my favorite wine. The sound of my favorite music played in the background.I turned and held Lord Frederick’s gaze, asking, “What’s this?” He took a deep breath before speaking.“You know how much I love you, right?” My heart fluttered as I looked into his eyes. “Of course,” I replied with a smile.I watched him take a deep breath and get down on his knees. “I know that this is too early, bu
Aurora's POVThree months laterLord Frederick led me to the jet that was waiting for us. It was huge, and the inside was bigger than it looked. He helped me into a seat and sat right across from me. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. I was beyond excited about our trip and was looking forward to everything we were going to do. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the flight, helping me to calm down when there was some turbulence, and just being there for me.We finally arrived, and the jet landed. We got out, and there was a car already waiting for us. Our luggage was put into the back before we got in, and the car started. We were taken to a huge hotel. It was a five-star hotel and looked expensive. It was stunning, and immediately we got out of the car, we were ushered inside. Lord Frederick had already booked a suite in advance, so we were taken to the room, which was on one of the top floors.When we got to the room, I was awed by how beautiful it was. It had everything you
Lord Frederick's POV Dinner was served to me at the table, but I couldn’t eat. In fact, I kept staring at the table as the quietness of the mansion made my heart ache. There was no Aurora, there was no William, and it seemed parts of my life were taken away from me. Somehow I was beginning to regret; perhaps I shouldn’t have sent her away, but then I knew I had to do what had to be done. If she desires to leave, then I have to respect her wish and let her go. “Boss, sir Ian is calling,” Fox said as he handed over the phone to me. I took it and placed it on my ear. “Ian,” I cleared my throat. “Frederick, what is going on?” he asked, and a lump formed in my throat. “Are you serious about leaving them here?” he asked, while I remained silent, not knowing what to say or do. “Aurora hasn’t been herself since she arrived, and I believe you know that. And William, he has been asking for you. Frederick, they need you; don’t send them away,” Ian urged while I just remained silent and s
Aurora's POV All through the night, I couldn’t sleep as I kept thinking about Lord Frederick’s decision. I knew he had given me what I wanted, to leave with William for my father’s place, but I couldn’t explain why I wasn’t excited about it. “Because you still love him, Aurora. He is still your daddy,” a little voice spoke in my head, and I couldn’t deny it. Despite my anger and everything, I had never stopped loving Lord Frederick, and now that we were together again after years of being apart, I didn’t want to stay away from him. But how do I tell him that? “Mama.” I heard William’s voice and turned to see him waking up from his sleep. “Good morning, William. How are you?” I placed a kiss on his forehead. “Good morning, Mummy.” He responded while I smiled at him. “Come on, let’s go bath and go downstairs for breakfast,” I said to William before leading him out of bed. After I bathed him, I dressed him up and gave him his toys to play with before I went to freshen up. Taking his
AURORA'S POVA light sigh eased through my lips as I tucked William into bed gently. I didn't want to wake him after today's experiences; it was the second time I had endangered his life in a shootout. He was too young for things like this; he could barely talk clearly. But at least it was good to see that Cain was dead, and so far, things had calmed down.I sighed before relaxing back into the chair, my gaze lingering on Frederick's for a while.He hadn't said anything throughout the drive home and had stayed close to me while we returned. He watched silently as I put William to bed.My eyes shifted from his eyes down to his side; a gasp escaped my lips. How had I not seen this earlier?“You are bleeding, Frederick,” I said. He looked down at the side of his shirt, now soaked with blood.“I know,” he responded with absolute nonchalance before locking his gaze back with mine.“Let's get it treated. You need it treated,” I added hastily, but he shook his head and gave me a steely gaze.
LORD FREDERICK'S POV“Sir!” Jason called out hastily. I exchanged glances with Fox and then moved my gaze back to Jason, who had called out to me in a tone of urgency.“Excuse us,” I ordered the men in the room; they all bowed and nodded slowly before making their way out, leaving Jason, who was the head of the tech team, my most trusted man, and myself in the room.“Is anything wrong with the bracelet? I did ask you to be careful when putting in the tracking chip, so what have you done this time, Jason? Everyone doesn't seem to understand their jobs anymore,” I complained, groaning and fuming with anger as I spoke.“About that, the tracking device is working perfectly. As a matter of fact, I got signaled just now that Miss Aurora had left the building; she seems to be on the move, in a cab, and headed somewhere,” Jason explained. For a moment, I wasn't sure how to feel.“Cain,” I muttered beneath my breath before rising to my feet. How dare he? He did not only put William under my wa
