The morning light filtered into the kitchen, pale and gentle, as Aurora spread peanut butter across a slice of bread. Her hands moved automatically, but her mind was elsewhere. Sleep had evaded her again. She had spent most of the night tossing and turning, her stomach knotted with anticipation for Cole’s call later that evening. Every hour that ticked by had reminded her of the risk she was taking…. the risk of hoping again.Behind her, Elara padded into the kitchen, still in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes. “Mommy?”“Yes, baby?” Aurora turned, forcing a small smile.The little girl leaned against the counter, watching as her mother folded the sandwich neatly into her lunchbox. “Are you still coming for the ‘Bring Your Parents to School Day’ today?”Aurora glanced up, blinking at the question. “It’s today?”Elara nodded quickly, her voice uncertain. “Yes. At twelve.”Aurora set down the knife and crouched to her daughter’s height. “Of course I’ll be there,” she said softly, brushing E

Xavier hadn’t been home for two days.Aurora noticed the silence first. The absence of footsteps in the hall, the untouched side of the bed, the lack of his cologne lingering in the air. But what shocked her most was how little it hurt. She hadn’t called to demand an explanation. She hadn’t cried into her pillow. She hadn’t even rehearsed excuses in her head for Elara.And to her quiet relief, Elara hadn’t asked about him either.For once, Aurora was grateful for her daughter’s silence. It saved her from having to lie. From twisting Xavier’s absence into something less heartbreaking than it was.That night, after Xavier had walked out on her, she had made a decision. No more waiting around for a man who would never put her first. No more shrinking herself into a wife who had nothing beyond him. She needed to go back… not to the past, but to the part of herself she had abandoned.The research world.Her heart still clenched when she thought about it. She remembered the day she walked a

The sterile white walls of the hospital blurred before Xavier’s eyes as he paced the hallway, the sharp click of his shoes echoing like a restless drumbeat. He raked a hand through his hair, his chest tight, his mind torn between fury, fear, and bone-deep guilt.Beside him, Jaxon sat slumped on one of the hospital chairs, small fists clutching at the hem of his shirt. His cheeks were blotchy from crying, his little body trembling as though the ground beneath him had shifted.Xavier stopped pacing and knelt in front of him, trying to steady his own shaking voice. “Hey, buddy,” he murmured, forcing a calmness he didn’t feel. He cupped Jaxon’s tear-streaked face, his thumb brushing gently at the dampness. “It’s okay. Your mom’s going to be fine. You hear me? She’s in good hands now.”Jaxon hiccuped through his sobs. “But she…she wouldn’t wake up, Daddy. I tried. I shook her, and she just… she just lay there.” His small body shuddered with the memory. “I thought she left me.”The words st

For that day, Xavier was nothing but sweet. He surprised Aurora by insisting on drawing her a bath himself, though she told him several times that he didn’t need to. He tested the water, adjusting it with careful patience until it was the perfect warmth, and even set out a towel for her.When she slipped into the bath, sinking into the steam, he sat on the edge of the counter, watching her with quiet eyes. It was the kind of tenderness that felt almost foreign now, like something stolen from the past, and Aurora didn’t know what to do with it.After her bath, when she expected him to retreat into his world again, he instead grabbed his keys and told her he was coming with her to pick Elara up from school.Aurora blinked in surprise but said nothing. She only nodded, secretly wondering if this was his way of proving something, if not to her, then to himself.When Elara spotted them both waiting at the gate, her face lit up briefly, but her excitement dimmed almost as quickly when she n

“Lilith, what the hell!” Xavier’s voice thundered across the restaurant as he shot up from his corner.Both women turned, startled.Lilith’s face drained of color. She hadn’t known he was there.The restaurant had gone deathly quiet. Forks hovered midair, conversations died, and all eyes shifted toward the private corner table where the tension had finally snapped.Aurora sat in her chair, composed despite the water dripping from her hair and staining the front of her blouse. She didn’t flinch. She didn’t even reach for a napkin. Instead, her gaze locked steadily on the woman across from her…. Lilith, whose hand still trembled from the act she had just committed.Waiters froze, unsure whether to intervene. Guests exchanged glances, curiosity buzzing in the silence.And then came Xavier.He was on his feet in an instant, striding across the polished floor. His jaw was tight, his eyes blazing with disbelief, with something dangerously close to fury. When he reached the table, he stopped

Xavier leaned back in his office chair, the city skyline stretching wide through the glass walls, but his mind wasn’t on the reports scattered across his desk. He stared at his phone for a long moment before finally dialing Lilith’s number.She answered almost immediately, her voice warm, soft…too soft. “Xavier. Did you set it up?”“Yes,” he said, rubbing his temple. “I reserved a private table at L’Elysée. It’s discreet enough. I’ll text you the address. I’ll come with you both, just in case things—”“That won’t be necessary,” Lilith cut in gently, though her tone carried a firmness that didn’t leave room for argument. “This should be between Aurora and me. If you’re there, she’ll feel cornered. I want her calm, open. It will go smoother without a third party.”Xavier frowned. “Lilith, I don’t like the idea of leaving you two alone. You know how—”“I’ll be fine,” she interrupted again, this time with a low, reassuring laugh. “Aurora isn’t going to bite me, Xavier. Trust me. This is w
