Regret

On the surface, Aurora Steele lived every woman’s dream, married to the powerful Xavier Steele, mother to a beautiful daughter, her life seemed perfect. But behind closed doors, warmth turned to cold distance, and shadows crept into her home. Her twin sister, Lilith, returned with a son who carried Xavier’s eyes, weaving herself into their lives until Aurora’s world shattered. Poison claimed her daughter. Betrayal silenced her pleas. And just when Aurora thought she had found the cure, death struck her down. But fate was not done with her. Reborn one year earlier before everything went to hell, Aurora steels her heart. No longer the loving wife waiting for scraps of affection, she vows to protect her daughter and expose the lies that once destroyed her. Bound by a contract marriage for one final year, she hides her pain behind a calm smile, even as Xavier grows unsettled by the woman he thought he knew. This time, the betrayed wife will not beg. This time, the forsaken mother will not forgive. And this time, the sister who stole everything… will pay it all back in blood.

Keep it short and sweet, I don’t like when the bad guy is still conniving 100 chapters in and nothing is exposed. Moving on I guess..disappointing

Chapter 1: When Hope Flickers.
The soft glow of candlelight flickered across the dining room, dancing shadows against the walls. Aurora Steele stood behind the small cake she had baked herself, trying to steady her trembling hands. Her lips curved into a gentle smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Happy birthday, sweetheart.” She whispered as she set the cake before her daughter. Six-year-old Elara sat at the head of the table she was turning seven, her chin propped on her tiny hands. Her big steele gray eyes shimmered beneath the candle’s glow, wide and hopeful, her silky black hair falling around her cheeks. But she didn’t move to blow out the flame. Aurora crouched beside her, brushing a stray curl from her daughter’s face. “Go on, darling. Make a wish.” Elara shook her head stubbornly, her lower lip jutting out. “Not yet. Daddy promised. He said he would bring my cake and we’ll blow out the candles together. I’ll wait.” Aurora’s chest tightened. Her smile faltered for a moment before she forced i

Chapter 2: Birthday Candles and Lies.
Steam clung to Xavier’s skin as he stepped out of the bathroom, a towel slung over his shoulders. He ran a hand through his damp hair, eyes sweeping the room.Lilith had mistakenly spilled wine on him so he had to go clean up. “Lilith,” he asked, his voice deep but casual, “did my phone ring while I was in there?”Perched on the edge of the sofa, Lilith looked up with an angelic smile, the kind that always seemed carefully crafted to disarm. Her hair spilled over her shoulders in perfect waves and her dress clung softly against her frame as if she were the very picture of serenity.“No,” she said smoothly, shaking her head. “No calls.”Xavier frowned lightly, crossing to pick up his phone, he could have sworn he heard it ring. True enough, there was nothing. No missed calls. No messages. Nothing. Unknown to him, she had clear the call history including the text she sent to Aurora. He sighed, pushing away the faint tug in his chest. He thought by now Aurora would be blowing up his p

Chapter Three: A Close Call
The hospital corridors smelled of antiseptic and fear. Aurora paced back and forth outside the emergency ward, her hands trembling so badly she had to keep wringing them together. Her legs felt weak, her breath uneven, and yet she couldn’t stop moving. Each time the doors swung open with nurses rushing in or out, her heart slammed against her ribs, hoping, dreading, that they would tell her something.Her little girl was inside, hooked up to wires and tubes because of a cake. A cake. The image of Elara gasping for air at the table, her small hands clawing at her throat, replayed so vividly that Aurora thought she might collapse.A shuffling of footsteps made her freeze. When she turned, she saw Xavier. He looked like a ghost, his face pale, his eyes hollow, his steps hesitant, as though the weight of guilt had stolen his strength. His gaze darted toward her before quickly dropping to the floor. He moved closer, slowly, almost cautiously, as if unsure whether he had the right to ev

Chapter Four: Fading Away.
For two days, Aurora didn’t see Xavier.He was in the same hospital, but it was as if they lived in two separate worlds. He went to work, came back, and always stopped at Jaxon’s ward. Not once did he walk into Elara’s room. Aurora told herself she shouldn’t be surprised, but each passing hour still tore something inside her.When Elara was finally discharged, Aurora held her hand as they walked the hall. The little girl leaned heavily against her mother, her steps dragging. They passed by Jaxon’s ward just as Elara tilted her tired face upward and whispered, “Mommy, why isn’t Daddy the one picking us up?”Aurora forced a smile and stroked her daughter’s head, silently thanking heaven that Elara wasn’t tall enough to see through the glass door. Because inside, Xavier sat on a chair, carefully feeding Jackson orange slices, his face softened with patience Aurora hadn’t seen in years.“He’s at work, sweetheart,” Aurora said gently, her throat tightening. “Daddy will come as soon as he

Chapter Five: When Denial Shatters.
Aurora woke to the blinding white of the hospital ceiling. The world around her was muffled, as though she were underwater. Her chest felt heavy, her throat raw, but the first thought that cut through the fog was of Elara.Her baby.She turned her head sharply, searching for the small figure that should have been curled beside her bed. Panic clawed at her chest when she saw only Cole, seated in the chair beside her, his face drawn and pale. His hand rested on hers, steady, almost too steady, as though he were holding himself together for her sake.“Cole,” she rasped, her voice hoarse. “Where’s Elara? Where’s my baby?”Cole’s expression flickered, pain flashing across his features. He swallowed hard, his voice low and careful. “Aurora…”“No.” She sat up quickly, her breath coming in shallow bursts. The IV tugged at her arm, but she ignored it, gripping his sleeve with desperate fingers. “Don’t look at me like that. Where is she? Tell me she’s fine.”Cole reached for her trembling hands

Chapter 6: When Silence Speaks.
Aurora stirred awake to the faint sting in her arm. Her eyes blinked open to find the soft light of the hospital filtering through pale curtains. Two nurses were just pulling away, carrying vials of her blood. She barely felt the pinch of the needle. Everything inside her was muted, like she was watching life through a sheet of glass.In the corner of the room, Cole stood with the doctor, their voices low and grave. When they noticed she was awake, the doctor approached, his expression heavy with something he wished he didn’t have to say.“Aurora,” he began carefully, as if each word might wound her further. “I have… bad news.” He paused, searching her pale face for a flicker of readiness. “We found traces of the same poison that killed Elara… in your system too.”Aurora stared at him blankly. The words fell against her like rain against stone. Poison. Dead. Elara. None of it mattered. Nothing mattered. The one reason she fought every day, the one reason she breathed, was gone.She d

Chapter 7: Too Late To Save
Xavier staggered back, stunned, he wasn't expecting that. Aurora was usually soft, calm and patient but right now, he did not recognize the Aurora before him. “You were in the hospital,” she seethed, her voice shaking, “with a child that isn’t yours, while your daughter needed you. While we needed you. Why do you act like Lilith is the one you married and not me huh?Do you wish you had married her instead?” Xavier’s heart lurched. “What? No!” he snapped, almost desperately. “Aurora, I love you. I chose you because I love you!” She let out a bitter laugh, tears spilling at last. “You have a strange way of showing it. Every time she calls, you run. Every time she needs you, you’re there. But when your own family begged, when I begged, you were nowhere to be found.” Xavier stepped forward, grabbing her shoulders. “I’m sorry. I’ll do better. I’m here now. Where’s Elara?” Aurora shoved him off with all the strength grief could give her. Her voice cracked like glass. “Well It’s a li

Chapter 8: At Her Side.
“Aurora!” Xavier’s voice cracked as the heart monitor flatlined. Panic surged through him like fire. His chest tightened, his vision blurred, and the world around him narrowed to the still body on the bed.He spun toward the doctor, his voice rising into a roar. “Do something! You said she was going to be fine!”The doctor, already fumbling for the defibrillator, barked orders to the nurse. “Prepare for CPR….now!” His hands pressed down on Aurora’s fragile chest as he shouted for backup, slamming his fist against the emergency call button on the wall.The door burst open. A flood of nurses stormed in, wheeling equipment, their rubber-soled shoes squeaking against the sterile floor. One of them began swapping out IV bags while another readied the crash cart.Xavier’s chest heaved, his breaths sharp and ragged. He staggered toward the doctor, seized his coat collar with trembling hands, and yanked him close. His voice shook, but the venom in it made the doctor pale. “If you don’t save

Chapter 9: When the World Stopped.
“Wha…what?” Lilith stuttered, disbelief lacing her tone. She had expected compliance, obedience. She had never expected refusal.Xavier closed his eyes, his body shuddering as he leaned his forehead against the cold wall. “I can’t leave her. Not this time. Not again.” His voice broke, stripped raw of pride, of excuses. “Aurora’s in there, fighting for her life. And for once, I’m going to be where I should’ve been all along…by her side.”The line was silent, but Xavier didn’t care. His hand shook as he pulled the phone away, staring at the screen for a moment to check if she had hung up but the call was still on, his jaw trembling.For the first time, he chose Aurora.But it was a little too late.On the other end, Lilith stood frozen, her breath catching in her throat. She hadn’t caught his muttered words about Aurora, hadn’t registered the chaos around him. All she heard, all that echoed like a curse, was his refusal.“I… can’t.”Her perfectly painted lips parted, the sweetness in h

Chapter 10: Shadows of the Heart.
“Mr. Steele, I’m sorry…”The words circled endlessly in Xavier’s mind.“Mr. Steele, I’m sorry…”“You are the worst mistake of my life, Xavier…”“I wish I never met you…”“The only good thing that came out of this marriage was Elara…”Her voice clung to him, dripping with venom and heartbreak, echoing in the abyss. He was lost in a darkness so thick he couldn’t breathe. Aurora’s words became chains, binding him, dragging him further into the void.Then, suddenly, the darkness fractured. A blinding light burst through, stabbing at his eyes. Xavier flinched, blinking rapidly until the glare softened into shapes, colors, familiarity.He wasn’t in the hospital.He was home.Lying on their bed. The sheets smelled faintly of lavender, Aurora’s favorite. His heart thudded wildly as he sat up, confusion surging through him. “How did I get here? Did the driver bring me home?” None of it made sense.Shoving off the covers, Xavier stumbled toward the door. “The hospital, I should be there. That
