_Aurora’s POV_

My heels clicked as I walked up the staircase, my grip on my handbag tightening.

The elevator was out of service, so I had to use the staircase.

I let out a deep breath, leaning on thr railing. This should be my sign to pick up yoga, running, pilates, or whatever.

If there was something called out of shape, it was me.

I heard footsteps coming from above me and I paused, watching as Iris made her way down

Iris’s footsteps slowed when she noticed me, her lips curling into a s

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Your daughter

    _Damien’s POV_Seeing a child psychologist was harder than people thought.I looked down at Isabelle as we walked into the building, her tiny hands wrapped between my two fingers. She swung our joined hands back and forth as though today was just another day. God. I couldn’t risk losing my daughter no matter what.“Daddy?” She called, looking around with a confused look on her face. “Hm?”“Are we at the doctor’s?” Her question came off as innocent and I forced a smile on my face. “Kind of,” I answered.She looked around once again, and then looked at me. “But I’m not sick.” My chest constricted. I forced my mouth to move, forcing the words out. “I know.” “Rhen why are we here?” She asked again. How was I supposed to explain this to an eight-year-old?How was I supposed to tell her that currently she needed strangers to tell her what was best for her? I crouched low until we were at the same level. “Someone just wants to talk to you,” I said and she blinked in confusion.“

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   See you in court

    _Damien’s POV_I hate courtrooms. That was the only thought running through my head as I sat in silence, Jonathan reading through his papers beside me. I had sat in countless boardrooms throughout my life. I have negotiated billion-dollar acquisitions. I have settled lawsuits and won cases that determined the future of my company. But none of the courtrooms I've been in has ever made my palms sweat the way this courtroom did. Because this was about my daughter. The one thing I couldn’t bring myself to lose. I could lose money. Ot even my business. But Isabelle was worth more than any of these was. Jonathan adjusted the cuff of his ai ittt before he leaned closer to me. I turned to look at him. “Remember. He murmured. “No matter what Kingston says, don't react.” No matter what Kingston said..That was going to be easier said than done. Jonathan seemed to know what I was thinking and he sighed. “He would want a reaction.” He said and I nodded my head.“I know.” I knew how

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   War

    _Damien’s POV_The office door dlmmed shut behind me and for a moment I just stood there. My hand was still wrapped around the handle, my knuckles white from how tightly I was gripping it. I heard the sound of glass smashing from inside the office, and then I walked. If I stayed another second here, I was going to kill him. I didn't care if I did life, as long as Kingston was dead. Nothing would bring me more joy than seeing him bloodied and unalive. His words echoed inside my head with every step I took. No matter how hard I tried to ignore it. No matter how hard I tried to forget the words he had said.“You will learn what it feels like to lose a child.” I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt. He wouldn't. He couldn't do that. There’s no way he would drag Isabelle into this. Not after everything that has happened. But knowing the type of person he was. He didn’t care about anyone that wasnt himself. By the time I reached the elevator, my breathing had become uneven. I pull

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Losing a daughter

    _Damien’s POV_I arrived at Kingston’s office after receiving his message to meet here. It had taken a lot for me to call him, but I needed answers. I needed to know who had leaked everything to the press.It happened so fast, it all pointed back to one man. When I got to his office, Kingston was standing by the window. He had his back to me, a cup of whiskey in his hand as he stared out the window. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly turned around. The look of hostility on his face almost startled me. How did we end up like this? I watched as he slowly walked back to his chair, sitting with his legs crossed on the table. His eyes were pinned on me, the whiskey glass still in his hands. Neither of us spoke to the other. I looked at the spot opposite his table where a chair should be, and I almost laughed. He had taken off the chair there because he wanted me to stand. He wanted to show some sort of superiority over me.After everything that happened…Well, good thin

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Let’s talk

    _Damien’s POV_The moment I stepped outside the building, the noise hit me immediately. “Mr. Blackwood!”“Mr. Blackwood!”“Did you know your wife was cheating?”“Will you be suing Mr. Kingston?”“Did Mariam confess before she died?”“What about Isabelle?”“Is she still your daughter?”Camera flashes exploded from every direction.Security formed a wall around me as microphones were shoved toward my face.Questions came so quickly they blurred into meaningless noise.I didn’t answer a single one. I walked behind security as they led me towards my car. I couldn’t even tell how this had happened. I turned the radio in the car off, tossing my phone into the seat next to me. I couldn’t bear listening to another stranger discuss my life. What business of theirs was it? I know they wouldn’t care if this had happened to some random man in the streets. Letting out a sigh, I pulled into my driveway and killed the engine. For several seconds. I simply sat there. The reporters who were he

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   What he wanted

    _Damien’s POV_I sat quietly in the boardroom, feeling the gaze of everyone digging deep into me. Every seat was filled with my executives, directors, and legal counsel. And they all looked uncomfortable. Even I did.Reporters were scattered outside, hoping to get some tea. Every page of the newspaper. Every magazine cover. Every inch of the fucking internet carried my face.And they all said thr same things.BUSINESS TYCOON’S LATE WIFE HAD SECRET TWO-YEAR AFFAIRDNA TEST ROCKS BLACKWOOD FAMILYWHO IS ISABELLE’S REAL FATHER?I looked away from them. There had been a time when headlines would have infuriated me. When I could have demanded they get shut down and even paid to see it happen. But I just felt tired. Everything that was happening made me feel tired, and I couldn’t do any of it anymore. The chairman cleared his throat and I immediately looked at him.“Thank you for coming, Damien.” He said and I nodded my head. I already knew the reason for this meeting “We’ll get st
