‘The restaurant was just as I had seen on the internet. Thank heavens I dressed well.’ I thought, smoothing the nonexistent crease in my dress as the waiter led me to a reserved table. The place is not too fancy, and my simple, semiformal dress made me blend in.

‘I don’t get it. Why does Sebastian Warner want to see? Is it about his sister’s wedding?’

That question had run through my mind probably a million times since he called me the previous morning, but I still hadn’t gotten the answer. He hadn’t mentioned why and only asked we met at a restaurant, leaving me guessing. He had absolutely no business with me.

The only reasonable conclusion I could come up with was he wanted to talk about Bianca’s wedding, but that didn’t just feel right.

“Hello, Aurora.” Sebastian said as I approached his table, standing on to his feet and giving me one of his blindingly handsome smiles.

‘Gosh, why did my name sound so smooth on his lips? Like velvet. Ugh, don’t think weird things.’ I scolded mysel

    My phone's annoying constant vibration woke me from my sleep, and I groaned. I picked it up as I sat up, and I frowned at the many notifications from my social media.I opened one of them, and I gasped at the multiple hate messages sent to my dm.What's going on?My hands trembled as I checked each message, each notification, and they all had the same thing in common. They were calling me a sl*t, a whore, a bitch. Many of them said I didn't deserve Sebastian and we should break up.Bruno had sent me a message, asking me if I like his present.Tears streamed down my face as I finally saw the cause of all the hate towards me. It was a video, and though it was not too clear, I could see the two people in it clearly. It was I and Bruno at the restaurant, kissing.The video was taken at an angle that hid the fact that he was forcing me, and it only showed the few seconds when our lips touched.It was all a setup.He already planned to cause the scandal when he invited me to the restaurant.

    "Excuse me? That's your deal." I gawked at him with my mouth hanging open."Yes. You can call Sebastian now and tell him it's over. I heard that you're living with him, so I expect you to move out within three days. I won't rush you about spending the night with me, but it has to be within one week. These are fair conditions, aren't they? Honestly, I think it's a low price to have our daughter all to yourself, but I've always been an understanding man, haven't I?" Bruno grinned.Wait. This man expected me to break up with my 'boyfriend', move out, and sleep with him?!"Have you run mad? Did you drink before you came here? Or is it drugs? Have you started doing drugs?" I asked, genuinely worried because he had to be high on something or sick in the head to demand such stupidity from me."Don't insult me, woman! I'm doing you a favour and this is the thank you I get?! I ought to walk out of here and make plans with my lawyer to make sure I get full custody of our daughter." He snarl

    'I can do this. I can do this. It's just a simple meeting. He can't do anything to me.'I told myself as the waitress led us to the private dining room in the restaurant Bruno had reserved for us. My stomach clenched the moment my gaze rested on him; my legs trembled.This was a bad idea. I shouldn't be here, or at least, I should have told Sebastian.But it was too late to run. I was already in the mess. The best I could do was to take advantage of the situation and hope that something good came out."I'm glad you could make it." Bruno grinned as he stood up and pulled out the opposite chair for me.I bristled as my gaze flickered from him to the chair.Why was he acting like a gentleman? Was this some kind of trick? Whatever it was, I wasn't falling for it.'I am not timid. I am strong. I am confident. Bruno has no hold on me. I am no longer afraid. I am free.' I chanted in my brain, sending a bolt of confidence through me, and I squared my shoulders.I couldn't show him that I was

    "Mommy?" Tiffany mumbled; her big blue eyes watched me as I tucked her in bed. "Yes?" I replied. "Are you ok? You look sad since we got home." She said, and my lips twitched to a small frown. I hadn't expected her to pick that up, but who could escape the watchful eyes of kids? Bruno really messed up my mood. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my mind always went back to the envelope. "I do?" I whispered as I sat beside her, and she nodded. "Hum, don't be sad; I miss Grandma and Grandpa too, but we'll see them soon." She yawned and snuggled under the duvet. "I guess you're right. Thanks for reminding me." I smiled at her and patted her hair. "Good night, baby. I love you." "Goodnight, Mummy. I love you too." She whispered as her eyes fluttered close and I kissed her head. I stared at her for a few seconds with my heart warm and fuzzy. I was so lucky to have a daughter like Tiffany after everything that happened to me. She was a big ray of sunshine who bro

    Sebastian and I spent far much longer time than needed to get to my room, as he took me past stairs and turns that weren't needed, but I didn't complain. It wasn't like I actually needed to go to bed anyway. I was tired but not too tired. Besides, his stories were too interesting, and I wanted to spend a little more time alone with him. Something we couldn't have for the past few days because Grace clung to me just as much as she did to Tiffany. Which was nice, nice but strange. It was weird having someone act like a mother to me since my mother didn't do the job well, but it was really sweet. And made me guilty for lying to her. "So I guess I have to go to bed now." I said as we stopped at the door. I didn't want him to go but if I dared invite him inside my room, I wasn't going to be able to stop myself from kissing him and doing more. "I guess you do. Good night, Aurora." Sebastian replied but didn't move. "Um... Thanks for walking me to my room." I smiled, and musterin
