I never thought I’d see it — hell, I would’ve bet my last dollar against it — Viktor Romano in love. And not just in love... getting married. To Mia of all people. Sweet, soft-spoken, delicate little Mia, who looked like she belonged in a sunlit bakery in Tuscany, not tangled up with a man like Viktor — who could make grown men piss themselves with a look.
When I first heard about her, I thought she was a ghost story. Too perfect to be real. Too good to be true. And in our world, that usually meant one thing — she was hiding something. But then I met her. And Mia? Mia was exactly who she said she was. Gentle. Kind. Pure. Which made me question her sanity even more for loving Viktor freaking Romano.
My internal debate was cut short by the sound of Samantha Romano — Vik

AURORAThe red dress was a statement—loud, unapologetic, and completely out of my comfort zone.I’d barely gotten the words “need help picking out something for a wedding” out of my mouth before Sammy damn near squealed like a kid who just found out her crush liked her back. The way she lit up, you'd think I’d just announced my engagement and not that I was tagging along as some guy’s plus one.To be clear—Simon was not a boyfriend.Not a friend, either.More like… a beautiful question mark I couldn’t stop circling back to.But still, I let Sammy pull me through racks of designer gowns like we were preparing for

AURORAI was sitting in the minimalistic living cum dining space, with a leg propped on the table. The last time I had been here, the place was at least looked new, now, not so much.And would it kill him to get a housekeeper at least once a week? God! I knew men were never very particular about living standards but at least they could live a better life.It was what felt like an eternity later when I heard the telltale sound of the lock clicking open. Finally.The door creaked, the knob turned, and in walked the man I’d been waiting for—he strolled in without urgency, keys jingling, sleeves rolled up, and sin carved into the way he carried himself.He paused when he saw me. Of course he did.

AURORAViktor Romano was back.There was something about his presence that sucked all the air out of the room—the kind of quiet that demanded attention, not because he was loud, but because power never needed to raise its voice.We were in the Romano conference room—floor-to-ceiling glass on one side, steel and smoked wood everywhere else. He sat at the head of the table, his fingers were steepled, gaze locked ahead like he was playing chess with ghosts.Dominic was already slouched beside him, all leather jacket and insolence. Marco sat across from me, unreadable, crisp in black. And me? I leaned back in my chair, boots kicked out, expression bored—but every nerve in my body was on high alert.

AURORAI was hunting ghosts with blood on my hands and desperation in my veins.Every lead, every whisper, every shadow I thought might belong to her ended up a dead end. Marco had time—too much of it. Enough to tuck her away behind a thousand false identities or fly her to the edge of the earth. And yet... I couldn’t shake the feeling. That gut-deep, soul-gnawing instinct. She was here. Somewhere in this city of sins and saints. Chicago held her like a secret I couldn’t break.Three years.And still, she was the face behind every nightmare, the phantom clawing through my sleep, the ghost whispering you failed me.She was like smoke—slipping through my fingers just when I thou

AURORAThe past few days had felt like slow, calculated torture—mental warfare in its most exhausting form. I would have taken bruised knuckles and bloodied hours on the field over this waiting game any day. At least then, I’d feel like I was doing something.After Viktor’s wedding—an event that came with more tension than romance, if you asked me—he and his new bride were whisked away, much to his irritation. A honeymoon, paid for and planned by none other than Alessandro Romano himself. A private island, of course. One of the many jewels in the Romano crown. If I remember correctly, it had once been a gift for his wife..With Viktor gone, the weight of our world fell onto Dominic’s shoulders. And to his credit, he bore it well. Marco and I—seated as far apart
