Chapter 38: In the news

Wendy walked beside the shopping cart, but she wasn’t really shopping. She picked things up and dropped them back without looking. Her voice had been going on for a while, and she didn’t seem ready to stop.

“I just don’t understand it,” she said. “Why are they living together? Does that even make sense? They used to date. Everyone knows that. Now suddenly they are under the same roof like nothing happened. How am I supposed to pretend that’s normal?”

Gracie did not look at her. She stood still by a shelf of perfume bottles, her tablet held up in front of her face. Her eyes kept scanning the screen. She barely blinked. She was reading news articles about Rora Empire… Aurora’s company.

Every headline mentioned Aurora.

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    Not so timid

    AURORA . I was still trying to breathe normally when Damon pulled me halfway up the stairs. My heart was racing from the fight outside, but I was pretending to be calm. My mother was still exchanging words with Gracie outside , Damon was whispering that I should go to my room and rest. I nodded and turned toward the hallway.That was when I heard Gracie’s voice again.“You deserve everything that happened to you ,” she called, sounding angry and bitter. “That is why your husband died. He couldn’t handle you. You and your daughter’s stupidity destroyed him.”I stopped walking, She was talking to my mother ?How dare her bring my dead father into this fight? The same man her whole family including herself and her son worshipped until he was no more . “ Don’t let her get to you “ Damon said but it was too late . My body froze first. Then my hands. Then my chest. It felt like something cracked inside me. I turned slowly, because if I turned too fast, I wasn’t sure what I would do.“ Aur

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    The Fight

    CHAPTER — The fight . AURORA I was still on the front porch with my mom and Damon, trying to make sense of everything Jake had said. My head was still spinning from it. Bryan suddenly wanting to come back and even now , Jake being in such a maltreated state in that house everything was overwhelming. My mom kept shaking her head. “I don’t know what kind of life that man is living, but this proves he’s been watching you from somewhere.”Damon sighed and rubbed his forehead. “We will do something, Do you have anything in mind ?” I didn’t have time to answer because two cars suddenly drove into the compound, it was so fast enough that Damon stepped forward as if prepared for trouble.The first car stopped, and Gracie and Wendy came out like they owned the ground they stepped on. “ What are they doing here ?” My mom stood up immediately she sighted her enemy. The second door opened, and Damon’s mother stepped out, already looking annoyed.And of course, Wendy’s mouth opened first.“

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    “ The Missing Boy “

    CHAPTER _ “The Missing Boy”Gracie sat comfortably in the living room, legs crossed, her tablet resting on her knee as she scrolled through numbers and reports with sharp focus. Mr. Wolfe sat across from her, quiet and thoughtful, reading the morning newspaper with his glasses low on his nose.The house was unusually silent, until the sudden sound of heels hitting the floor , only one person was that dramatic when it came to entrance . “ Wendy is that you ?” .Wendy rushed in, breathing loudly. “Jake is gone!” she announced panting .Gracie lifted her eyes from her tablet for only one second, then looked back down as if Wendy hadn’t just talked about her only grandson missing , She tapped her screen calmly. “He’s probably in one of his hiding places.”Wendy stared at her, shocked. “Are you not hearing me? He is not in the house! I checked everywhere! The boy is missing !” Wendy might be irritated and annoyed by Jake’s presence mainly because of her mother’s influence but she still s

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    More than Ready

    CHAPTER — “‘More than Ready “AURORA We all stared at Jake, our mouths open, the room completely silent. My heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears.I knelt in front of him again. “Jake… sweetheart, can you say it one more time? Slowly this time.”My mother pulled a chair closer and sat down beside him. Damon moved in too, standing right behind me with his arms crossed, watching Jake with full focus.Jake looked at all of us, confused about why we were so shocked.“I said Dad is alive,” he repeated calmly, like he was calculating his words . My hands shook. “Can you explain everything? Tell us what happened that day. Tell us how you saw him.”Jake nodded. “Okay.”We all leaned closer.“It happened two weeks ago,” he began. “I was in the Wolfe house. Grandma was shouting at someone on the phone. I got bored, so I went downstairs. Then someone whispered my name.”My mother gasped. “Inside the house?”Jake nodded again. “Yes. It sounded like someone was calling me from out

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    “ Dad Is Alive “

    CHAPTER : “ Dad Is Alive”Damon’s words were still hanging in the air , his mother staring at him in shock . “I won’t be marrying her.”His mother’s eyes widened like he had slapped her. She looked from Damon to me, then back to him. Her face turned red with anger.“Excuse me?” she snapped. “What did you just say?”Damon stood firm. “I said it clearly. I won’t be marrying her.”His mother let out a loud, sharp laugh. “Then she must leave this house. Today. I won’t let this nonsense continue. How can you keep her here when—”“Aurora stays,” Damon cut in.His voice wasn’t loud, but it was strong, I watched the shock on his mother’s face. She looked like she was about to faint.“You must be out of your mind,” she whispered. “Out of your mind.”“ Mom ….please let it go , i already made my decision and Aurora is my guest …” “ So ?” She scoffed . “ I’d appreciate if you leave , you are making her uncomfortable…let’s talk on …” “ What did you just say ?” “ Damon is fine …” i tried to en

  • My Husband Faked His Death, So I Moved on    THE VISITOR

    CHAPTER — THE VISITORFifteen days left.I kept repeating it in my mind as I stared at the sales dashboard on my laptop. The numbers were rising every day. Orders, engagement, messages, It felt unreal sometimes, like the company was finally breathing again after being trapped for so long.I traced the curve of the rising graph with my finger.“Just fifteen more days,” I whispered. “Just hold on.”I was proud but I was also tired. For the past week, I’d been avoiding Damon like a criminal hiding from the police. Not because he offended me. Not because he annoyed me.But because of that back hug.I didn’t know what that moment meant. Maybe it was just the heat of the night or the stress of the attack. Maybe I was overreacting,. Maybe it was nothing.But every time Damon walked into a room, my heart would skip and suddenly start beating fast again, it is true what they say about two people who used to be in love .So I stayed out of his way.I was still staring at the numbers when my do
