AURORA’S POV

I had finished the first half of this stupid project. It's still annoying when I think about how I ended up with this project.

Now I have to deal with moving to a new place too. I just moved into Rachel's place. As much as I hate Leonard I couldn't help but think about what was going on in his head.

Who was going to harm me? Why was he trying to protect me? And why does he have to protect me? The shrieking of a chair pulled me out of my thoughts.

The department was still a bit bus

    LEONARD'S POV The security cameras from that day don't show either Aurora or I alone. How did this person get such a clean insertion done?Vanessa is smart but not so smart that she would make the pictures. I watched the images that threatened my peace of mind and business some months ago. Across from me in my study sat my good friend, Clyde. He had a puzzled look just like me. “Boss, pardon me. It's not the ehh… my intent to bring back old wounds. But these are the ehhh… same killed of pictures that were found near—”“Your father's dead body.” “My father's dead body.”I scoffed. He was right, the detail was hidden but when the right person knows what they're looking for, it could resurface. A circular signature. “This person also signed in that circular pattern filled with the ehhh…M's and C’s.” He dragged the picture closer to verify he was seeing correctly. “Yes. You're right.” I placed my hand on my chin with a smile slowly forming. What was I going to do now? “Clyde.” He

    AURORA‘S POVRachel stood by my packed bags, suitcases and boxes with a gloomy face as she wrote GADGETS on the last box. The long-awaited weekend has finally arrived.“Make sure you visit. And we would always have girls night.” She said, getting up. “Oh, Aurora. I'm going to miss you. I knew you would leave but this is too soon.” “I know, but if I want better things, I have to start doing things on my own.” “But you are doing things on your own. Right here.” “Rachel. You don't even let me pay part of the bills. That's basically pampering.” The man loading the luggages came up and carried another two suitcases. She groaned. “Why did you say yes that asshole?” “I thought you liked him.” “Formerly, now not so much. Who would I tell my hospital mishaps to?” “Rachel, there is FaceTime, video call and phone call. And I'm still in the same city. That's enough sad vibes. I'm not dead. Now help me carry some things down stairs, this man would take the entire day.” She scoffed. “That'

Max had arrived and he went through the codes I had prepared, made a few corrections. “What's happening today? We have at least five more people in the department than usual.”“Yeah. The boss is coming in today.” Max hurriedly made his last correction before standing straight to fix his tie, which was already in the right place. He had taken deep breaths more times than I can count. He dipped his hand into his pocket for the fifth time, since he got to my desk, to wipe the sweat on his face

    LEONARD'S POV “Okay. Congrats.” “I said stop it. It's just a contractual thing.” Axel couldn't stop bothering me about the viral videos of me and Aurora. He changed his shirt and dumped the bloodstained one. “Contractual.” He scoffed. “Do you know how many contractual arrangements turn into real relationships?”“You know. I don't know if I can trust you anymore.” “I don't care if you trust me, I'm looking out for my friend.” “You were the one who pushed this one. You and that cunning old man.” He chuckled. “Amidst the concern, I'm happy for you. She is a good match for your arrogance.” We walked into the elevator and a few moments later, we stepped out. Axel’s phone rang as we walked out of the elevator. “I'm off to shower. I can't believe I got blood on my face.” “Sometimes, I wonder who you are.” “Prince Axel.” I shook my head as he walked to the guest room. He owns this house as much as I do. I'm sure he could navigate his way upstairs even if blindfolded. My phone buz

    AURORA’S POV“What the heck is this, Aurora?...” Rachel's voice was booming in the living room. So much for keeping this information a secret from her. I wasn't surprised when I walked in on her looking with her hands on her waist with a million questions. News about the male Montgomerys spread quicker than wildfire. But I was still dazed from the events that took place. Max just informed me that I wasn't liked in the department. And he….he. I hope he knew what he was doing. “Aurora! Don't go deaf on me.” Rachel's voice suddenly echoed in my ears. “I'm sorry. What do you need?” I looked up at her. “This post’s been trending. Yes most people didn't get your face but it is you, right?” She brought the phone closer to me. I grabbed the phone from her and saw that my face was hidden. I scrolled up and a few scrolls later, I realized that my face didn't really show up but in photos and videos. “How can you tell that is me?” I smiled at her, trying to run away from this conversati

    AURORA’S POVThe city’s nightlife was awakening as I sat at my desk the night after the big event. It had become the talk of the town and social media. Bloggers had begun choosing who they thought would be good fits for the Montgomery grandsons. Actresses, celebrities, the daughters of tycoons. It was a whole era. And I was thinking about whether to accept the arrangement from a family I had sworn to run away from. I had made a list of pros and cons and surprisingly, I hadn't listed a single pro. What would people say about me? From one Montgomery son to another. A golddigger. I had sent back the outfit and everything he sent to me for the event, except the perfume. Rachel had claimed it “legally”. I opened his DM to check on our texts. LEONARD: [IS THIS YOUR REPLY] With an attachment photo of the outfit. ME: [NOT YET. I HAD INTENDED ON RETURNING THEM]LEONARD: [ARE YOU DONE THINKING?]I hadn't replied to that question. What should I do? I didn't want to discuss it with Rach
