My Husband Replaced Me While I Was in a Coma

Aurora’s POVAfter dropping Chloe off, I drove back to the Blackwood estate.The moment I stepped out of the car, my phone buzzed.See you at the courthouse in seven days.I smiled and put my phone away.Inside the villa, everything looked exactly as it had before my accident. Even our wedding photograph still hung above the fireplace.I stared at it for a moment.Damien and I had once been the perfect couple.He had loved me and I had loved him enough to destroy myself. Maybe if I hadn't had the accident… I shook my head banishing the thought. It's done now and there was no going back. “Aunt Rose,” I called the housekeeper. “Take that photograph down.”She froze. “Madam?”“Throw it away.”Her eyes widened. “But this is your favorite.”“I don’t want it anymore.” I pointed toward the shelves. “And get rid of those too.”She hesitated. “Madam, Sir may not always come home but —”“He’s free to do whatever he wants.” I interrupted her sharply, turning toward the stairs. “I just want thos

Aurora’s POVThree days after I was poisoned, I was finally discharged.Chloe was waiting outside the hospital, and the moment she saw me, she rushed over.“Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked worriedly.“I’m fine, Chloe.” I smiled.Her expression tightened. “Damien didn’t come?”I shook my head. “He had more important things to do.”Chloe’s eyes darkened. “After what he did to you, I swear—”“It’s in the past, Chloe.” I opened the car door. “I’m done talking about him.”She stared at me for a moment before getting in. “Then what are we doing tonight?”“There’s a Blackwood Foundation gala.”Her mouth fell open. “You’re going?”“Of course.”“Aurora, you just got out of the hospital.”“I’m still Mrs. Blackwood.” I smiled.For three more days.—The gala was held at the Blackwood Grand Hotel. The moment we entered, heads turned and whispers followed us.Everyone knew Damien’s wife had just survived being poisoned. Nobody knew I was already preparing to leave him.Chloe leaned closer. “Ev

Aurora’s POVThe moment I heard Damien had sent Chloe to the Blackwood compound, I drove there without hesitation.The compound was located outside the city and was normally used to train the Blackwood family’s attack dogs.When I pushed through the gates, barking immediately filled the air.My stomach dropped.“Chloe!”“Aurora!”Her voice came from behind the training cages.I rushed toward it and found her curled against the bars.Three enormous attack dogs paced outside the cage, their eyes fixed on her.Chloe looked terrified. “Aurora, please get me out of here.”“I will.”I searched for the key but couldn’t find it.Then I spotted a metal rod lying nearby, grabbed it, and approached the dogs.They snarled and lunged toward me. I swung the rod against the ground.“Stay back!”The dogs retreated for only a moment. I used the opportunity to unlock the cage.“Come on!”Chloe tried to stand but nearly collapsed. “I’m too weak.”“I’ll help you.”I wrapped her arm around my shoulder and

Damien’s POVThe women stopped in front of our table. The moment they saw Bella, their expressions changed.One of them scoffed. “So this is Bella.”Her tone was anything but friendly. “The woman who took Aurora’s place while she was lying in a coma.”Another woman laughed bitterly. “Three years. Aurora was gone for three years, and you couldn’t even wait for her to wake up before building a family with someone else.”My jaw tightened. “Watch yourself.”The woman looked straight at me. “Why? Are you going to threaten us too?”“I’m giving you a warning.” I stepped closer. “Leave Bella out of this.”She folded her arms. “Why should we? She is the reason Aurora lost everything.”Bella’s eyes lowered. “Damien, please… Don’t.”I placed a hand on her shoulder then I looked at the woman. “If you came here to cause trouble, you’re in the wrong place.”One of them stepped forward. “We came because of Chloe.”My expression changed. “What about her?”She laughed bitterly. “You were the one who se

Damien’s POV“Aurora! Look at the post Aurora just made! Boss, look at the caption!!” One of the men hurried over with his phone. I snatched the phone from his hand.Underneath it was a simple caption: I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. My vision blurred with rage. “She got married?”Someone behind me spoke hesitantly. “Could it be fake? Maybe she knew you were here celebrating Bella’s birthday and deliberately posted this to make you angry.”I stared at the screen.Before I could stop myself, I hurled the phone against the floor, shattering it.Everyone went silent.The man who owned it stared at the broken pieces. “That was my phone…”“Damien.” Bella approached carefully, brows were furrowed. “When did you and Aurora finalize your divorce? Why didn’t you tell me? Was it a surprise to me?”I turned toward her.My expression must have frightened her because she immediately stepped back. “I’d like to know that myself!” I snarled. When had I divorced Aurora? Fro
