See you soon!” I said, waving at Sharon on the screen before ending the call.The moment I put my phone down, my bedroom door swung open wider and Elly marched in with a determined look on her face. “Come on, Aurora! Enough chatting. We only have a few hours left,” she said, grabbing my arm firmly and dragging me out of my bed toward her room. “You’re not walking out of here looking like a plain Jane tonight.”“Elly, wait....I can do my own makeup!” I protested, stumbling a little as she pulled me down the hallway. But my sister didn’t listen. She never did when she was in full bossy mode.Her room smelled like expensive perfume and nail polish. She pushed me down into the chair in front of her huge vanity mirror, the lights bright around the edges. It was already 3:30 PM. Time had flown by while I was talking to Sharon.“Sit still,” Elly ordered, grabbing her massive makeup bag. “I’m making yo
Aurora Salvatore “Don’t worry about it,” Elly said casually as she started the engine. “Let’s just focus on getting you ready for the party tonight.”I nodded quietly, still replaying the embarrassing coffee spill in my head. That man’s intense stare had sent a weird flutter through my stomach, but I pushed the thought away. It was probably nothing. By the time we got home, the afternoon sun was shining brightly through the mansion windows. Mom had finished packing and was now sitting in the living room with a cup of tea, checking her phone every few minutes.“Dad’s meeting is still running late,” she told us with a sigh. “But he should be here soon so we can head to the airport.”I gave her a quick hug. “Okay, Mom. I’ll be in my room.”Eliana had already disappeared into her own room, doing her nails with that focused look she always had when getting ready for a party. I closed my door behind me, flopped onto my bed, and grabbed my phone. The new dress Elly had forced me to buy
Eliana Salvatore “Ugh, Aurora, look at what you’re wearing. Seriously?” I said, crossing my arms as I eyed my sister up and down. “We’re going to a party where Charlie Ford will be, and you look like you just rolled out of a library. Simple jeans and a plain white top? No one would ever guess you’re a Salvatore, daughter of a billionaire.”Aurora glanced down at her outfit and shrugged. “I like my clothes, Elly. They’re comfortable. I don’t need to dress up just to....”“Nope. We’re fixing this right now,” I cut her off, waving my hand. “I have to take you shopping for a proper outfit. Something sexy but classy. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.”She shook her head quickly. “No, really, I don’t want to. I already agreed to go to the party. Isn’t that enough?”I rolled my eyes and turned to one of the staff members standing nearby. “James, bring my car keys. I will take the Lamborghini. We’re heading out.”Aurora sighed deeply but didn’t argue further. She knew better than to fight me
19 Years LaterAurora Salvatore “Happy birthday to me... nineteen and finally done with school. This is going to be a good year,” I whispered to myself, rubbing my throbbing temples as I sat up in bed.I stretched my arms high above my head, letting out a big yawn. The headache from staying up late reading last night was still there, but it didn’t matter. Today felt different. Special. I had just graduated a few weeks ago, and everything in my life was finally falling into place. No more exams, no more stress. Just freedom.I swung my legs off the bed and walked over to the tall window of my bedroom, pulling the heavy silk curtains open. Sunlight poured in, lighting up the huge Salvatore mansion grounds. I smiled wide when I spotted my mom, Sara Michaels Salvatore, outside by the driveway. She was loading a few designer suitcases into the trunk of the black Mercedes.Giggling like a little girl, I ran out of my room and dashed down the luxurious hallway. My bare feet slapped agains
Sara M Salvatore "Kingsley nooo!" Sara screamed as Kingsley collapsed on top of her, blood pouring from the gunshot wound in his shoulder. She held him tightly, her hands already covered in his warm blood. The pain and fear on his face broke something deep inside her. “Kingsley… stay with me,” she begged, pressing hard on the wound. “Please don’t leave me. Not now.” “I won't leave you, Sara...I won't... Fight for Aurora, for Eliana!" Kingsley forced out a few words painfully. Tom laughed like a madman, still holding crying Aurora. “See what happens when you push me too far? Your pretty boy will soon bleed out and so shall you!” That laugh flipped a switch in Sara. Pure rage took over. “You bastards!!“ She yelled at them. She gently moved Kingsley aside, stood up, and charged at Amanda like a woman possessed. “You worthless bitch!” Sara shouted as she tackled Amanda to the ground. The two women rolled on the cold parking lot floor, scratching and hitting each other. “You a
Sara M Salvatore "We’re leaving. Now." Kingsley took Sara’s hand firmly and guided her out through the hotel’s side exit. Uncle Raymond stayed close behind, his eyes scanning every shadow. They moved quickly through the back corridor, avoiding the main lobby where cameras flashed and reporters shouted questions. The drive back to the mansion was tense and silent. Kingsley kept one hand on the wheel and the other holding Sara’s tightly. The moment they stepped into the living room, a private investigator was already waiting. The middle-aged man stood up respectfully and held out a small sealed plastic bag. “Mr. Salvatore,” he said. “I collected the hair sample from Aurora’s brush this morning, just as you instructed. It’s clean and ready for testing.” Sara turned to Kingsley, stunned. “You ordered this?” Kingsley nodded, his voice gentle. “I saw how much the doubt was eating you up. I didn’t want to raise your hopes until we had something real. I wanted the truth for you… for ou
