Aurora’s POV
I woke up with my head hurting so bad. I opened my eyes and immediately turned my head to the side to see if Timothy was still there, but I was wrong. He probably went home after having sex with me. I also looked around my room to see if he left a note or any message, but he didn’t. Just when I pass by my mirror, I saw my nape full of hickeys. I could also feel my womanhood numb because of how wild Timothy was last night. He didn’t stop until he got satisfied.
My cheeks felt hot as I remembered what happened last night.
My first sex was with a stranger.
Well anyways, that’s just a one-night stand. It’s not as if I’d see him again.
“From now on, I will just focus on my job. Men are just a waste of time.” I said to myself before I stepped inside the bathroom to take a shower because I still have to go to work.
It’s my first day of being PR leader and I’m late.
“And here comes our new PR leader! Congratulations, Aurora! Looks like you’re late today, huh? Did you have a hot celebration last night with your boyfriend?” asked Rebecca, my closest friend at work.
I smiled awkwardly. “Y…Yeah…”
A hot celebration with his brother, actually...
"I knew it! I don't even know why you guys still aren't married."
As soon as I sat down, I received a message from my ex-boyfriend asking me if when will I take my things from his apartment since Wendy feels unhappy seeing my belongings there.
I almost threw my phone because of anger.
Where do they even get the guts to act like they didn’t do me shit?
It's been only a day since I found them cheating on me and they are already acting like they didn't do anything wrong.
‘You can just throw my things away, I don’t care.’ I just replied then blocked his number on my phone. I don't want him contacting me again.
If only I could punch his face right now.
I tried to focus on my work but I just couldn’t stop thinking about Timothy. He said he is Philip’s brother. How did he know about my address and how come he knows me when I barely even know him? Is he stalking me or something? Or maybe Philip told him about me?
Ugh. Stop thinking about him now, Aurora. Stop thinking about that stranger you just had a one night stand with.
He probably has a girlfriend already. It’s my fault that I seduced him without even asking if he has a girlfriend already. If he already has a girlfriend, then I have no difference with Wendy.
I'm such an idiot.
“Have you heard about the CEO we’ll be working with this time? I saw his face on one of the magazines and he is freaking handsome! Also, he is one of the wealthiest CEO in the country! He just came back from England this month!”
“Yes! I saw him too! I swear I am more than willing to lie down for him!”
"I heard he is single! I mean, how can a handsome and smoking hot man like him be single?!"
"Come on. For sure that's just rumors. I bet he already slept with so many women! And I am willing to be one of them!"
"Me too!"
I could hear my colleagues talking about our new boss and I don’t even know why, but I suddenly feel curious about him, too. If he is that famous and wealthy, then how come I don’t know him? Oh, well. I just got promoted as the PR leader, so how would I know. From now on, I’ll be directly working with CEOs, so I guess I have no choice but to deal with them. Given that most CEO's are so perfectionist.
“Aurora?” Hannah, my manager suddenly called.
“Yes?”
“Come with me. We will be meeting with our new boss. He said he'll meet us in his office.”
I nodded my head and gathered my things as I stood up. “Coming.”
“Oh my God! You are so lucky you’ll get to see him first!” Rebecca said.
“Come on, you’ll see him later, too.”
Hannah and I went to that CEO’s company to have a meeting with him about the project he wants to conduct and plan with us. The project I did last time was so successful that I got promoted, so there’s no way I would let my first project as the PR leader fail.
“I wonder what’s taking him so long…” I mumbled to myself as I squinted at my watch.
It’s been past an hour now since we arrived here and the CEO still hasn’t shown up. I know he must be so busy because he is a CEO, but our time is also important and the mere fact that he know we will be having a meeting today gives him the responsibility to at least inform us about what time he could tackle the plan with us.
“Oh, I think he is here already.” Said Hannah then stood up.
I just heaved a deep sigh and followed her. I guess I have to deal with such a jerk CEO for a month. First project as the PR Leader and it already sucks.
“The CEO has arrived.” An old man in a suit announced.
The door of the conference room then opened. I was already cursing that CEO in my mind for arriving late until I saw his face.
My eyes widened and my mouth agape.
Those eyes and lips... and that body..
This couldn’t be real….
This can’t be….
The CEO of this company is none other than….
THE MAN I HAD A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH?!!
Aurora’s POVI couldn’t help but glance at Timothy who doesn't even give me a look. The gentle look on his face now became the look of a very strict boss. “So, I guess I have to leave the two of you here. Please excuse me, Sir.”Timothy just nodded at Hannah.I badly wanted to go with Hannah already, but I still have things to discuss with Timothy regarding the company project. God, this is so embarrassing!He cleared his throat. “So, I didn’t know that you’re actually a PR leader.”And how would you know? We just had a one night stand. I even thought I wouldn’t see you anymore.“Y-Yeah. I just got promoted yesterday.”He nodded his head. Seeing him this close again makes me remember every single detail that happened between me and him last night. I could even still feel my private part sore. Although it also feels like he's not that gentle man who offered to take home last night. He seem a bit cold and aloof now. “A-About what happened that night--"It only happened because we wer
Timothy’s POV “Timothy. Where were you last night? I heard you went to a bar and left there with a woman. Is she your girlfriend, huh?” mom started interrogating me during our family dinner. “You’re asking someone to spy me again, huh?” She laughed. “Well, I just heard it from your best friend, Loki. Come on, why don’t you introduce her to us?” “Mom, she’s just a friend.” “A friend, huh?” my younger brother, Philip said. “Did you sleep with her?” That made me silent and even made my whole family laugh at me. I went to a bar last night and happened to see my brother's ex-girlfriend there. I was also drunk when I offered to drive her home. “Oh, my oldest son is finally getting married!” I rolled my eyes. “Mom! Stop it No one is getting married!” “Are you sure, my dear?” “What do you mean are you sure?” “Well, actually,” Philip paused for a second and continued. “I’m getting married.” “What?” I looked at the smirk on Philip’s face. “You’re getting married with who?” Philip l
Aurora’s POV"Philip and her girlfriend will be having their engagement party next week. If you agree to have a deal with me, then meet me at the Beatrice Grand Hotel." I still can’t get over about the sudden proposal of my boss who happened to be the older brother of my asshole ex-boyfriend. We just had a one night stand and we don’t really know each other, and now he is asking me to have a fake marriage with him?On the other hand, I feel so enraged about the fact that Philip and Wendy are getting married after what they did to me.Oh, right. Just like what Philip said, he didn’t even love me in the first place. He just used me just so he could be close to Wendy. That means, he had been making me a fool for two fucking years.I will make them pay for what they did.***I wore a pink dress going to the engagement party venue. I immediately saw Mr. Timothy Lockwood at the entrance. He didn’t look surprise upon seeing me though. It looks like he already knew I was going here.“You cam
Aurora’s POVI still can’t get over about what happened during the engagement party. I can’t forget about how Timothy kissed me.How can he be such a good kisser? And how can he kiss me like he didn’t ask me to forget about what happened between the two of us?“The first thing you have to remember when we get married is not to tell anyone about it. No one should know about it except my family.” Timothy started enumerating all the things that he wants to happen after our fake marriage while I just kept on listening attentively, taking notes of every word he says.“Next, you’ll have to live with me. My parents would find it weird if we get married and you don’t live in my house. Lastly, I don’t want you to do things that would ruin my name.”I actually felt a little offended to the last rule he just stated.Do I look like I’ll do something that would ruin his reputation?“W-Wait. W-We are not going to share the same bed, right? I mean, just to be sure.” I said while trying to hide my r
Aurora’s POVDad has been forcing me to get married, too. He said he wants to see my children grow up. He also said he would love to walk me down the aisle. It’s sad that he won’t be here with me.I looked at my reflection in the mirror.I’m really getting married.As soon as the door went open, I saw the smiles of the people in the venue while looking at me. I don’t know a single person in the room except Philip and Wendy who were glaring at me.I was wearing an off-shoulder wedding gown and holding a bouquet of white roses. My heart started beating so fast as I started walking down the aisle with Timothy standing and looking directly at me.“Timothy Lockwood, do you take Aurora Winters as your lawful wife and promise to be with her for the rest of your life?”“I do.” Timothy answered without any emotion on his face.“Aurora Winters, do you take Timothy Lockwood as your lawful husband and promise to be with him for the rest of your life?”Do I really want this?Do I really want to ge
Aurora’s POVAs the private plane landed and I stepped off, the beautiful view of the private island greeted me. The island was surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters. The waves gently lapped at the shore, and the sun was just beginning to set, casting the sky in hues of orange and pink that reflected on the water in a glorious display of color.“It’s so beautiful…” I whispered as I looked around me.How can such a beautiful island exist?“This private island is the gift of my mom when I was eighteen.” I suddenly heard Timothy spoke beside me.“A private island as a gift?”“She knows I often wants to be alone, that’s why.”I wonder if he knows that I am more surprised that his mom gifted him a private island? Is that how wealthy people really give gifts?“We’ll be staying here for three days, so you can do whatever you want until we go back.” he said as he started walking inside the villa."Timothy, won't you--Timothy is really so cold towards me. I thought we'll be staying her
Aurora’s POVAs soon as I stepped out of the company building where I work, a black limousine stopped in front of me. When a man wearing a black suit opened the car door, that’s when I saw Mrs. Lockwood smiling at me.“Hello there, sweetie. Can we hang out for a while?”I smiled at her and bowed my head. “M-Mrs. Lockwood.”“Just call me mom. Come on, hop in.”“O-Okay…”I thought we would be going somewhere, but it turns out we would only go to Timothy’s house.“How was your vacation in the private island? Did you have fun there?”“H-Huh? Oh, yes. We had so much fun there. It’s so beautiful there, actually. Timothy also told me you are the one who gave them that as a gift.”She drank some lemon juice and looked at me again. “That’s true. I bought that for him because I know he often wants to be alone. You know how introverted my son is. Also, he is the kind of guy who always work, so I think that would be the best place for him to unwind and have some fresh air.”“You are such a sweet
Aurora’s POV“Good morning. I am looking for Mr. Liam Hamilton?”I asked the information desk at the management agency.The receptionist looked at me from head to toe before speaking again. “May I know your name? And the reason why you’re looking for Mr. Hamilton?”“I’m from KLC Group. I am the PR leader and I am here to talk to Mr. Hamilton for the upcoming opening of Lockwood Shopping Mall.”“Oh, I see. Just wait at the conference room for a bit. I’ll just call him.”I nodded my head and smiled. “Thanks.”Liam Hamilton is a famous celebrity known for his great acting and singing skills. Many young people admires him and so I proposed to have him as the guest on the grand opening of Timothy’s mall.I have never seen him in personal yet, but I heard he is a mischievous man.The moment the door of the conference room opened, I saw a man just my age wearing a blue denim jacket under a black t-shirt and black pants. He also got a black earring on his left ear, making him look the pop star
