Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 220: The Letter That Was Never Opened
Darius fell silent for a few moments.He looked at Hazel, who was still busy stacking colorful blocks on the carpet."Daddy, build the tallest tower," Hazel said cheerfully.Darius smiled faintly."In a minute."Then he turned his attention back to the phone call."So... you've received the envelope?""Yes.""Have you read it yet?""Not yet.""Why not?"Aurora looked down at the brown envelope resting on her lap."I want to hear your explanation first."Darius took a slow breath."Then come home.""Is that all?""I want to explain it while looking into your eyes."Aurora didn't answer.A few seconds later, the call ended.Throughout the drive home, Aurora glanced at the envelope over and over again.Darius's handwriting was exactly as she remembered it.Neat.Firm.Never rushed.Several times, she almost broke the seal.But every time her fingers brushed the edge of the envelope, she stopped herself.She wanted to hear everything directly from Darius.Not from a single sheet of paper.

Aurora left early the next morning.Darius walked her to the car."If anything happens, call me."Aurora nodded."I just want to hear their explanation."Darius didn't try to accompany her.Instead, he opened the car door for his wife."I'll be waiting for you."Aurora got into the car without saying anything else.Moments later, the vehicle pulled away from the house.Darius remained standing there until the car disappeared from sight.When Aurora arrived at Blackwood Group, her secretary greeted her immediately."Good morning, Mrs. Aurora.""Good morning.""I've contacted all the directors as you requested."Aurora nodded."Is everyone here?""Almost everyone.""Almost?""Director Richard is on his way."Aurora recognized the name.Richard had been the first person to propose appointing Darius as Blackwood's permanent CEO."Then I'll wait."A few minutes later, all the directors began filing into the conference room.They looked slightly surprised.Today, Aurora had come alone.Dari
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 218: An Answer That Left a Wound
Darius looked at Aurora without breaking eye contact.Her question lingered between them for a long moment.He drew a slow breath."I would refuse."Aurora didn't respond immediately.Darius continued,"Because from the very beginning, I never came to take your place."Aurora held his gaze."And if they insisted?""I would still refuse.""What if they said the company would be better off in your hands?"Darius shook his head."Blackwood isn't mine. It belongs to you. It belongs to your family."Aurora remained where she stood."I want to believe all of that.""You don't have to force yourself."A faint smile appeared on Aurora's lips."The problem is... I'm not doubting your words."Darius frowned."Then what is it?""I'm starting to doubt the circumstances."Her answer left Darius speechless.Aurora looked at the vase she had just filled with flowers."Even the directors are beginning to talk as though I'm no longer needed.""They're wrong.""Maybe."She gave a slow nod."Or maybe th
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 217: The Distance That Couldn't Be Seen
Morning arrived as it always did.Aria's cries came first.Moments later, Aiden stirred in his crib.Aurora woke before the alarm could sound.She immediately lifted Aria into her arms.A few minutes later, Darius walked in carrying a bottle he had already prepared."For Aiden."Aurora nodded."Thank you."The conversation ended there.There was no argument.No raised voices.Yet Darius could feel a subtle change that had never existed before.Aurora no longer sought his gaze.She no longer shared the little things with him the way she used to.Hazel walked in carrying her sketchbook."Good morning.""Good morning."The little girl looked from her father to her mother."Why is Mommy so quiet?"Aurora offered a faint smile."Mommy's still sleepy."Hazel accepted the answer without question."Then I'll do all the talking today."A small smile appeared on Darius's face."All right."Throughout breakfast, Hazel dominated the conversation.She talked about school.About the drawing she had
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 216: The Decision Yet to Be Spoken
Aurora reread the message from her secretary before placing her phone on the table.The room fell silent once again.Darius was still looking at the screen."Tomorrow?" he asked.Aurora nodded slowly."They've asked me to meet with them tomorrow afternoon.""Do you want to go?"Aurora didn't answer right away.She turned toward the nursery.Aiden and Aria were still asleep.Hazel had already gone to her room."I want to see the company with my own eyes."Darius nodded."I'll go with you."Aurora gave him a faint smile."I was hoping you would."The next morning, the house was busy once again.The nanny stayed behind to care for Aiden and Aria.Hazel had already left for school.Aurora wore a white tailored suit with a navy blue blazer.It had been a long time since she had dressed for work.Darius stood behind her."You're nervous."Aurora looked at her reflection in the mirror."A little."He straightened the collar of her blazer."If you get tired, we'll come home."Aurora nodded."
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 215: Life Goes On
The drive home was much quieter.Hazel hugged her bunny plush while gazing out the car window.From time to time, she gently touched the few white flowers she had left.Aurora sat beside her.She held her daughter's small hand without saying a word.Darius drove in silence.After saying goodbye at the cemetery, Peter had headed back to his own house.Before leaving, he had offered only a few simple words."Take good care of your little family."Darius nodded."I always will."The moment the car pulled into the driveway, Aria's cries could be heard from inside the house.Hazel immediately ran toward the front door."I'm home!"The nanny opened the door with a smile."It's as if your little brother and sister knew their big sister was coming home."Hazel hurried to the nursery."Hi, Aria."The baby girl's cries gradually subsided as Hazel began talking to her.Beside them, Aiden opened his eyes.His tiny hand moved ever so slightly.Hazel beamed."Mommy."Aurora walked over."Look. Aide

The words fell without hesitation.Dante narrowed his eyes.“Who are you talking about?” he asked quietly.“You and Lily,” Aurora replied. “I don’t want to live with the same kind of lies.”Dante let out a short laugh.There was no humor in it.“And you think this test will settle everything?”“At
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 75: A Shifted Line
The room fell silent again after Aurora’s words.There was no raised voice. No burst of emotion. And that was what made it feel firmer.Darius stood a few steps in front of her. His expression didn’t change. He didn’t argue. He didn’t agree either.“I won’t accept that,” Darius said at last.“This
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 73: A Belated Answer
Several days passed.And strangely… nothing changed.No tension exploded. No open conflict. No real distance formed.And that was exactly what made everything feel… unnatural.Aurora’s house returned to a rhythm that felt almost peaceful.Mornings began with the sound of Hazel waking up—soft cries
Revenge Born of Betrayal Chapter 72: The First Crack
That morning felt different.Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of any obvious change.But because of something unseen—something that had begun to move slowly inside Aurora.She stood at the doorway of Hazel’s room. Not stepping in. Not walking away either.Her gaze was fixed on a simple sc
