_Aurora’s POVA

The office went quiet the moment Damien stepped in.

It was like everyone suddenly remembered how to breathe properly.

Phones disappeared. Laughter died. People straightened in their chairs.

Everyone went back to their work like they had been serious about it right from thr start.

Damien didn’t say anything.

He didn’t need to.

His presence alone was enough.

I didn’t look at him immediately.

I couldn’t.

My fingers were still wrapped tightly around the crumpled file in my hand.

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Ah shit

    Aurora’s POVWhen I got to my apartment building, I saw a face I genuinely never expected to see again.At first, I thought I was imagining things.The girl standing near the entrance kept pacing nervously, one foot tapping rapidly against the pavement while she looked around like she was waiting for someone.Her hair was messy. Her clothes looked wrinkled. And even from a distance, I could tell something was wrong.But why was she standing in front of MY building. Maybe she wasn’t here for me.Maybe she knew someone else in the building.But then she looked up.And the second her eyes landed on me, relief flooded her face so quickly it almost startled me.“Aurora…” she breathed.Before I could react, she started hurrying toward me.My steps slowed automatically as recognition hit me fully.Ayla.The girl from the auction.The same girl whose terrified face had haunted me for weeks after everything happened.The same girl Damien’s men had rescued.Except she looked completely differe

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Love-hate

    _Aurora’s POV_I pushed through the revolving doors and stepped outside into the busy street.The sunlight hit my face immediately and I brought my arm to cover my face. Behind me, Damien finally caught up.“Aurora, stop walking away from me.” He called out.I spun around so quickly he almost walked into me.“Why?” I asked sharply. “So you can tell me again that none of this means anything?”His jaw clenched.“That’s not what I said.”“It’s exactly what you said.”People walking past us slowed slightly, clearly curious about the tension radiating between us.I know I said I didn’t care, but I lowered my voice anyway.“You told me we agreed to no feelings,” I continued. “Which was apparently your very elegant way of reminding me I’m stupid for caring about you.”“You are not stupid.”“Then what am I? Because surely you don’t think I am quite smart.LDamien opened his mouth slightly before closing it again.He had no answer.Exactly.I laughed bitterly and shook my head.“You know what

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   To lose

    _Aurora’s POV_“Damien.” I called out his name, keeping my eyes closed as nu tried to control nyself.I could hear my heart racing in my chest and it took me everything to not throw myself at him.“What’s rhe matter, Aurora?” His voice sent ripples down my spine, straight to my pussy. This isnt supposed to be happening. I thought to myself, but yet I made no efforts to push away.“Your fiancé might walk in.” I said. My eyes opening slowly and I turned my head to look at Damien.He had no right to do this to me. He has no right to have a fiancé and then act like nothing happened. “Let her.” He breathed, his grey eyes locked on mine. This man was going to be the end of me. And God forbid i let that happen.I tore my gaze away from him, keeping my eyes fixed stubbornly on the elevator numbers above the door, even though my entire body was painfully aware of him standing beside me.He was way too close. “You’re engaged,” I reminded him quietly, hoping my voice sounded steadier than I

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Bad decision

    _Aurora’s POV_I wanted to leave.That was the first coherent thought running through my head as I sat across from Camilla and Damien while pretending I wasn’t slowly losing my mind.The meeting had barely lasted thirty minutes and I already felt exhausted.Not because of the stocks.Not because of the numbers being thrown around.But because Camilla Blackwood had apparently decided her life’s mission was to remind me every five seconds that she belonged beside Damien.And the worst part?She wasn’t even being really obvious about it. That was what made it so unbearable.Everything she did was subtle enough that nobody could openly call her out for it.The way she casually rested her hand against Damien’s shoulder while speaking.The way she leaned slightly toward him whenever she laughed.The way she said his name. Like she had every right to.Like she had been saying it for years.It made me want to stab something. Or someone.Preferably her.I sat there with the same fake smile pla

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Fiancé

    Aurora’s POVThe smile on my face hurt from how much I forced it.For every second ut remained on my face, my cheeks throbbed. It was reallt exhausting to do this but I refused to let it fall. Because if there was one thing I learned after last night, it was that Damien Blackwood did not get to see me break twice.I couldn’t remain moppy when I needed to make money. Right?Especially since my main source of income was getting married. But my chest still tightened every time I thought anout rhe way he walked out of my apartment. And I couldn’t forget thay I barely slept afterward. I couldn’t forget I had spent almost aj hour this morning staring at myself in the mirror as I wondered how I became the pathetic little girl I was seeing. You know, I could almost blame my father. If he hadnt thrown me at Damien we wouldn’t be here right now. But we were. And I had no idea what exactly I was doing here.Maybe part of me wanted revenge.Maybe I wanted to remind him that I wasn’t some

  • Teach me, Mr Blackwood   Stockholder

    _Damien’s POV_ By noon, everyone in the building had figured out I was in a terrible mood. No one said it directly, obviously. People in my company valued their jobs too much to openly comment on my behavior, but I noticed the way conversations died whenever I walked past. I noticed the way employees straightened nervously when I entered a room, and how my assistant kept speaking to me like she was trying not to set off a bomb. Unfortunately for everyone around me, they were right to be careful. Because ever since I walked out of Aurora’s apartment last night, my mood had been absolute shit. I sat behind my desk with a stack of reports in front of me, glaring at numbers that normally would have taken me less than five minutes to process. Today, I had been staring at the same page for almost twenty minutes and still couldn’t focus properly. Every time I tried, my mind went right back to her. The sound of her voice cracking when she asked me what about us. The te
