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
Aurora’s POV“Congratulations, team!”Just after the company event, all of us went to a restaurant to celebrate the success of the project.“Mr. Lockwood really is generous, isn’t he? He really treated us here, although he didn’t come here with us.”“Well, for sure he’s not interested to celebrate with us since he is such a workaholic man.”“Oh, have you seen Liam Hamilton? He is so handsome!”“You’re right! Although Mr. Timothy Lockwood is far more handsome than him.”I was just sitting there staring at the food in front of me while listening to my colleagues who were talking about Timothy and Liam. I still can’t get over about what happened last night.Is it really that big deal for me to see that sketch? It’s not as if I have stolen anything from his room.All of a sudden, my phone started to ring. I immediately stood up and went to a corner as I answered the call from an unknown number.“Hello?”“Have you forgotten about our dinner already?”“What dinner are you--“I’ll be waiting
Aurora’s POVNo one was talking between me and Timothy while we were having our dinner. After that night he scolded me, he didn’t talk to me again. He really got mad when I told him about the sketch of a woman inside his room. I didn't expect him to react that way just because of that, but maybe that must be really important to him. “By the way.”Speaking of, Timothy suddenly looked at me and spoke.“H-Huh?”“I’m sorry if I raised my voice last night. I just don’t like it when people go through my things. I didn’t mean to be rude.”I shook my head. “No, it’s actually my fault. I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have asked you those things.”“By the way, Liam Hamilton went to my office this morning.”That guy again.“You already signed the contract.”“Yes, and he asked about you.”My eyes widened in surprise. “W-What?”“He asked me if you already have a boyfriend.” Timothy said without any emotion on his face.“That pervert…” I mumbled.“Look, if he is trying to do something bad to you
Aurora's POVShit! Why did I even forget about time?! As soon as I arrived at Timothy's home, I saw him sitting on the couch with his arms crossed as if he was a father waiting for his daughter."T-Timothy. Why are you still awake? You didn't have to wait for me.""Where did you go?" he asked without any emotion on his face.I paused for a while, trying to think of a very good alibi that I could use. "Me and my colleagues went on a dinner together. We didn't notice the time, so--"Really?""H-Huh? O-Of course. That's the truth." He looked straight into my eyes. The way he stared at me made me feel so nervous. "Then what are those?"Suddenly, I saw some photos on the center table. I looked closer to see them clearly, and I was surprised when I realized that it was actually me and Liam. "W-Wait, where did you--"That's Liam Hamilton, right? Are you going out with him?" he asked again. This time, the tone of his voice sounded mad. I shook my head. "W-Wait, I think you misunderstand
