Mag-log inMy marriage to Bryan wasn’t perfect, but it was never bad enough for me to want him dead. Yet when he was brutally murdered in a hotel room, every finger pointed at me. His family accused me. The world believed them I spent months behind bars for a crime I didn’t commit. My empire crumbled. My only child now sees me as a murderer. I was bullied, broken, and forgotten until Damon stepped back into my life. Damon, my ex-lover, is now fighting to clear my name. He has one goal: to set me free. But he has another theory, one more shocking than the accusation itself, My Husband could be faking his death to make me suffer and start a new life with his mistress . Freedom didn’t make life easier. Outside those prison walls, I’m paying for my husband’s mistakes while battling for custody of my son, his family took everything from me but what if i turned everything around in my favour? And the question haunting me remains: Or how long was my supposed dead husband going to keep hiding?

The moment my heels touched the red carpet fully, the press surged forward like they had been waiting for blood.“Aurora!”“Did you know your ex-husband would be here tonight?”“How do you feel seeing him alive?”The noise was suffocating, For a second, my chest tightened again but I didn’t try to fumble or make them aware that I was shaking. Damon’s hands slipped out of my hand and I turned to look at him , he moved in front of me and blocked some of the press .Then he moved closer to me and let out his hand I felt his presence before I felt his hand. When he slipped his fingers into mine,, I took a deep breath. I didn’t look at Bryan. I didn’t look anywhere else.I smiled and turned to the camera , they weren’t going to leave me alone without a statement so I gave a statement. “My ex-husband’s appearance here is a shock to me
AURORA. My phone would not stop vibrating, it was ringing nonstop and messages flooded my phone .I had ignored it at first. Emilia had been calling non-stop earlier too to hasten me up and so I told myself she was probably panicking over seating or press arrangements. My phone was still charging in the front of the car so I hadn’t even bothered checking properly.“ It won’t stop ringing , you should take it “ The driver said to me and when I finally picked it up, we were already driving.I hadn’t even unlocked the screen when Damon spoke.“We were right !.” He had muttered I turned to him slowly. “What?”He didn’t answer immediately. His jaw tightened, his eyes stayed on the road ahead, and that silence told me everything before he even opened his mouth again. “ Bryan is here …isn’t he ?”“Aurora,” he said carefully, “listen to me first.”My heart started racing. “What do you mean, Damon? Is he here or not ?”He exhaled. “He is …” The air left my lungs.“No,” I whispered. “No,
BRYANI was adjusting my jacket for the third time when I heard screaming, It was coming from inside. .I closed my eyes for a second because I already knew the voice.“BRYAN!”I turned just as Amara stormed out of the room, her eyes red, her hair messy, her hands shaking. She looked unhinged, She was still insisting on coming with me even after mother warned her , even after the drama inside , she was still saying the same thing over and over again , she was determined to come along . “If you step out of this house without me,” she yelled, “I swear I will sing like a bird. Every secret. Every plan. Everything.”My mother paused near the door, calm as ever.I clenched my jaw. “Amara, not now, we are already talked about this !” “You think I will just keep shut because of what your mother said ? what does she know about what we went through in hiding? Now she is the one by your side ? What about me ? Huh !” She screamed “Lower your voice,” I snapped, walking toward her.She stepped

Emilia lifted her eyes from her tablet and stared at him, then at me.“Look at you,” Emilia said slowly. “Showing up like a concerned husband.”Damon smiled easily. “Concerned landlord.”I laughed before I could stop myself, and I felt his eyes linger on me for a second too long. He set the tray down.“I’ll leave you ladies to it,” he said. “Just wanted to check in.”“Thank you,” I said, my voice softer than I meant it to be.He nodded once and stepped out.The room went quiet again, except for the stylist’s hands moving around my head and my heart beating so much,it was like my thoughts were all having a conversation in my head . “ Why does he look extra handsome today ?”“ He must really care about me “ All of this was going on in my head and I bit my lips sl
