เข้าสู่ระบบ_Aurora’s POV_“How long were you planning on watching?” Damien’s voice filled the entire room and I flinched like I had been struck. “I-“ my voice came out thin, words starting to fail me. “I didn’t mean to—“Damien finally turned around, his lips pulled down into a frown. This was the first time I was seeing such an expression on his face. “Why did Luca let you come in?” He growled, and I could see the anger in his voice. Luca should be his doorman.~I wasn’t meant to be here. I wasn’t meant to see any of this. My eyes flickered back to the girl on the floor and then back at him. “I came to give you this.” I forced out, my cheeks on fire as I brought the folder in my hand into sight. The humiliation I felt was made worse by the traitorous throbbing I felt between my legs. I hated myself for it. This was my father’s best friend. He was at least twenty years older than me, I shouldn’t be feeling this way towards him. But my eyes once again shifted to the girl on her knees, a
Aurora’s POV_I had arrived at exactly 7:00 AM on the dot.My grip on my bag tightened as I marched towards his office, my jaw set.I had come here fully prepared for everything and anything he would throw at me, determined to show him I wasn’t a brat and I could work.Father had shown just how important this job was to him, and he refused to unfreeze my accounts.He said I had to keep this job for at least six months and learn how hard it was to make money.So six months of absolute hell in the hands of his best friend.I expected Damien to be at his office, especially since he had asked me to be there by 7 on the dot.But the moment his office came into sight, I paused mid-step.It was locked.Damien wasn’t in his office.The corner of my lips pulled downward as I checked my phone, 7:07.Anger sparked first, but then it turned into confusion.Was this another test? He had asked me to be here by 7, but he never said anything about his being there.And I definitely didn’t expect the b
_Aurora’s POV_Did he just ask me to strip?For a second,I honestly thought I hadn't heard him. My brain was trying to make it make sense. It tried to twist this moment into something normal.Because surely Damien Blackwood, my father’s best friend, billionaire, walking thunderstorm of a man, did not just ask me to take my clothes off.But it looked like that was exactly what he had just done.Anger burned deep inside me, but I tried to control it.His expression didn’t even twitch.He wasn’t joking. He wasn’t teasing.He looked serious enough for me to know he was testing whether I would do it or not.And when I didn’t move quickly enough, when I didn’t immediately obey like some little puppet, he turned his back to me.“Come back when you are ready to take instructions,” he said, his voice void of any emotion. He had just dismissed me like he hadn’t just detonated my entire world.He was turning me away? But father said I had to get this job. He can't just. “I’m sorry I think ther
_Aurora’s POV_My life ended that morning.Not figuratively.Not dramatically.I mean actually, brutally, violently ended.At 7:42 a.m., my father froze my bank accounts.By 7:45, my penthouse lights died with a pathetic flicker like even the electricity was done with my shit.By 7:50, my music cut off mid-song, the speakers giving one last sad pop—as if even the universe was telling me to get my life together.And by 8:20, I was storming into my father’s office wearing nothing but a silk robe, sunglasses, and pure delusion.I slammed the double doors open so hard they rattled.“Why. Did. You. Block. My. Accounts.” I gritted out.The room full of clients turned and stared at me like I was a zoo exhibit.I ignored every single one of them.My father looked at me over the top of his glasses, then gave his clients a tight smile.“My assistant will be in touch,” he said smoothly.They packed up in a heartbeat—no one wanted to be in the room for a Kingston meltdown.The moment the doors sh
