Chapter 75

Masked Intentions

Tiffany stumbled into her apartment just as dawn began to light the horizon. Her heels clattered against the wooden floor as she tossed her purse onto the couch, muttering incoherently. Her head spun, her dress clung to her like a second skin, and her mascara had smudged, creating faint streaks under her eyes.

“This…this is exactly what I wanted,” she slurred, collapsing onto her bed in a heap. The plush mattress embraced her, and she drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep almost instantly, her intoxicated state rendering her oblivious to the chaos that awaited her.

---

Eight hours later, Tiffany awoke to a sharp, pounding headache that felt as though someone was using her skull as a drum. She groaned, clutching her head and squinting at the sliver of sunlight streaming through her curtains. Her body ached from her reckless escapades the previous night, and the sharp taste of regret lingered in her mouth.

She reached for her phone on the bedside table, the

    Chapter 85Fractured PiecesAurora’s POVPain.That was all I felt.It was not the kind of pain that came from a wound or a bruise, someone can haveNo,not this timeThis pain was very much different, it was very deeper, heavier, a weight that pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe. It filled every inch of my being, seeping into my bones like poison.I had spent years avoiding this moment. Years trying to bury the memories, convincing myself that the past didn’t define me. But now, everything had resurfaced.My mother’s blood. The coldness of her body. The way Don Vito had looked at me, completely unfazed by the horror he had created.I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms.A part of me wanted to scream, to destroy everything in my path, to make Don Vito suffer the way he had made my family suffer. But another part of me, one I hated felt vulnerable, weak. Like the fourteen-year-old girl who had fallen to her knees, shaking her mother, pleading for her

    Chapter 84A Deal with the DevilMy father’s voice was quieter now, as if he were speaking to himself rather than to me. His gaze had lost focus, trapped somewhere in the past, lost in memories that still held him hostage.“We spent days together, hiding in the city. She told me everything, how Don Vito had controlled her entire life, how she had been raised to believe she was his property." He swallowed hard. "She would rather die than belong to him.”A lump formed in my throat.“We made plans to leave, to disappear somewhere no one would find us.” His fingers tightened around the glass. “I thought we had a chance.”He looked at me then, his eyes filled with a sorrow so deep I felt it like a physical wound.“I was wrong.”---*****Flashback: The Night of the Storm*****The rain pounded against the windows, drowning out the sounds of the city. I had just finished packing when the front door exploded open.Men poured in like shadows, their guns glinting under the dim light.Stella scre

    Chapter 83 Stranger in the CaféThe library air hung heavy, thick with the scent of old paper and forgotten stories. Shadows, long and distorted, danced across the walls, cast by the single, flickering bulb struggling to pierce the gloom.My father sat opposite me, his silhouette a study in weariness. His face, etched with the lines of time and regret, was a landscape of buried memories He held a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid swirling within like trapped secrets.He took a deep breath, the sound rasping in the stillness. His fingers tightened around the glass, the knuckles white. His eyes, clouded with a pain I'd never seen before, finally met mine. For the first time, I saw not just my father, but a man haunted by his past."It all started twenty-five years ago," he began, his voice rough, as if the words themselves were difficult to dislodge. "A lifetime ago, it seems now."The present dissolved. The library, the dim light, even my own anxiety, faded into nothingness. I w

    Chapter 82Unveiling the PastThe cab ride home was a blur. My mind raced with thoughts, too many to count, too many to bear. With each passing moment, my tears flowed freely, leaving a trail of despair in their wake.I couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t understand how everything had unraveled so quickly. My heart felt heavy, weighted by the revelations from Don Vito. My past, my family, everything felt like a labyrinth with no clear exit.As the cab screeched to a halt in front of the house, a sense of familiarity washed over me. The green door stood before me like a silent sentinel. I knew, deep down, that walking through that door meant confronting the truth I had been avoiding for so long.Knock…knock…I waited, each second stretching out like an eternity, before hearing Vanessa's voice echo from inside."Coming."I groaned in frustration. Vanessa. The one person who could always manage to get under my skin, no matter the circumstances.The door creaked open, and there she stood,

    Chapter 81The Secrets We HideTwo days had passed since the party, yet the whirlwind of questions refused to leave my mind. Each one clawed at my sanity, refusing to be ignored.Why was Peter at the party? Why was Tiffany clinging to him? Were they back together?And why couldn’t I choose Damian? Why did Dominique still have this hold on me? Why did I love him when I knew he’d only hurt me?My thoughts spiraled into chaos, a storm with no end.“Arghhhhhh!” I screamed, clutching my head. The frustration was suffocating. Even with all the questions eating me alive, the answers remained elusive.I forced myself out of bed, whispering to my reflection, “You came here to work, Aurora. To survive. Get up.”But even as I threw myself into the day's chores, scrubbing floors and polishing silver, I couldn’t shake the weight pressing down on me. Work usually numbed my mind, but today, it failed.Just as I was finishing my last task, I saw Don Vito’s personal maid walking toward me. My chest ti

    Chapter 80A war of godsSeeing Tiffany here made my heart sink to my stomach. What is she doing here? Who invited her? The questions swirled in my mind like a storm. But what really tore at me was her familiarity with Peter, which made me feel uncomfortable. When she wrapped her arms around him and called him “baby,” my chest tightened painfully. Were they together now? What if after I left, Peter moved on… to her?, and why are they here in this party?. I swallowed hard, my mind racing, my heart pounding. I wanted to say something, anything, but I couldn’t risk Tiffany recognizing me. Beneath my mask, I scoffed bitterly. “Baby,” indeed, in response to Tiffany calling Peter baby. “Nothing,” Peter said to her, his tone strained, his body stiff. I could tell he was uncomfortable, but it did little to soothe the ache in my chest.The tension in the room was suffocating, every one in the ball room fixes their eyes on us, as if we were a prized possession, patiently waiting for what wou
