LOGINChapter 55Annabel did not sleep that night, she lay on her bed, her eyes were wide opened, and she stared at the ceiling and her mind kept replaying Caspian’s words.“My wife is back.”Her fingers moved into the sheets.“No,” she whispers. “Not again… not this time.”She sat up fast, her breathing was uneven and her eyes burned with something dark, fear, anger and desperation.Aurora was back, alive and powerful and worse… Caspian still wanted her.Annabel stood and walked to the mirror and she stared at her reflection for a long time.“You didn’t come this far to lose,” she told herself and her lips slowly lifted into a smile, not a happy one but a dangerous one.“If she doesn’t remember anything… then this is my chance.”The next morning came fast and Annabel dressed carefully, a neat outfit, calm face and no sign of anger.She picked her phone and dialed a number.“Hello,” she said sweetly. “I would like to schedule a business meeting with Miss Aurora.”There was a short pause.“Y
Chapter 54Caspian did not sleep, he sat on the edge of his bed, still in the same clothes and his eyes were open, but they saw nothing but his mind kept running back to her.Aurora.Standing there. Looking at him like he was nobody, and then he gripped his hair.“No… something is wrong.”His phone lay beside him and he stared at it for a long time and then he grabbed it.“Ralph.”The call connected almost at once.“Boss?”“I want everything.” Caspian’s voice was low but firm. “Everything about her. Where she has been. Who she is now. Who she is working with. I want every detail.”Ralph pauses. “Sir… I already started digging last night.”“Not enough.” Caspian cut in. “Dig deeper. I don’t care how. I want answers.”“Yes, boss.”“And Ralph…”“Yes?”Caspian’s jaw tightened.“Find out about that child.”And there was silence for a second.“The baby girl?”“Yes.”“Understood.”Caspian ended the call and he leaned back, staring at the ceiling.“Aurora…” he whispered. “What happened to you?
Chapter 53The black SUV sped forward and Caspian’s car followed behind like a shadow, his eyes did not leave the taillights in front of him, not even for one second and his breathing was heavy and his chest felt tight.“She’s alive…” he whispered and his fingers tightened on the steering wheel.“And she stood there… looked at me… and said she doesn’t know me.”He shakes his head slowly.“No… that’s not possible.”The SUV turned into a private road and the place looked different from the busy street, quite and protected and then Caspian frowned.“Where is she going?”The car ahead slowed down and then…A large gate appeared, tall, black and strong, there were cameras at every corner and armed guards stood on both sides.The SUV then stopped for just a second and immediately, the gate opened wide, there were no questions or delay and Caspian’s brows pulled together.“They didn’t even check her…”The SUV drove inside smoothly and Caspian pressed the accelerator to follow but before he g
Caspian arrived at Aurora's Group, his heart rang with anticipation. He strode confidently toward the entrance, but the security guard stepped forward and blocked his path."I'm sorry, sir, but I can't let you in without an appointment," the guard said, his tone firmed was firm but polite.Caspian's brow rose. "Do you know who I am?" he asked and introducing himself as one of the prominent CEOs in Montana.The guard remained unmoved. "I understand, sir, but Miss. Aurora has requested not to meet anyone today. She has a full schedule."Caspian's frustration grew, but he nodded and stepped back. He couldn't leave now. He needed to see her, to speak with her.Hours passed as he waited outside and was observing the comings and goings of employees. The building is more magnificent than he imagined, it was an edifice of glass and steel, and reflecting the sky above and the bustling city below. It was a testament to Aurora's success, a success he once shared with her.Then, a sleek SUV pul
Caspian stood in between his living room, loud and restless. He yanked off his jacket, threw it carelessly on the couch, and ran a hand through his hair, pacing the floor like a man on the edge.He couldn’t sit. He couldn’t breathe properly.His heart was still pounding from what just happened at the mall.She didn’t recognise him.He coldn’t believe that Aurora looked him in the face and walked away like he was a stranger.No, he told himself. That was not possible. She was lying. Pretending. Maybe because she saw him with Annabel. Maybe… maybe that hurt her. That was the only explanation.He grabbed a glass from the bar and poured himself a drink, his hand was shaking slightly. The amber liquid swirled in the glass, but he didn’t drink it. He just held it, staring blankly.Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him.He turned and saw Annabel coming down the stairs, wearing a silky, wine-red dress that clung to her curves like a second skin. Her hair flown over her shoulders. She was we
Chapter 50Three years.It was three years now since the plane crash that turned Caspian’s world apart. Not a single day went by that he didn’t replay the tragedy in his mind. The scream, the fire, the silence that followed. He lost Aurora… or so he thought.Today, he walked silently beside Annabel inside the largest mall in Montana. She giggled at something he didn’t catch; he was too distracted. His mind wasn't in the present. It hasn't been, not since he buried a part of his soul with Aurora's name on it.Annabel was now freed after the new government overturned several convictions and had slowly crept back into Caspian’s life. Not that he welcomed her with open arms. However, after years of loneliness and numbness, he no longer had the energy to fight everyone. He barely even talks during their outing, only responding with nods.He reached for a black shirt on the rack when his phone buzzed sharply in his pocket. He grabbed it instantly.“Sir, it’s Ralph,” the voice said, breathle
Before Aurora could react, Caspian stepped outside. He had just finished a phone call and was walking toward the driveway when his eyes landed on Mitchell. His footsteps slowed, and his brows furrowed in confusion.“Mitchell?” he said, his voice filled with disbelief. “What the hell are you doing h
Aurora nodded, as she looked straight into Caspina’s eyes. “I said it because I was desperate. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you. I thought if I gave you a reason to fight, you would wake up. And it worked. But the truth is, I don’t love you. I never did. And Liam isn’t your son.” Caspian
Aurora refused to leave Caspian’s side as the hours turned into days. She stayed in his hospital room, watching the rise and fall of his chest as he lay unconscious. Her heart ached with every passing second; the fear of losing him held her heart firmly. Despite the tiredness knocking her down, Au
The ambulance moved very fast through the city; its siren pierced through the air, Aurora sat down beside Caspian's unconscious body as her heart refused to stop beating. The bandages the paramedic had applied to Caspian were already soaked with blood and the red was seeping through the white sheet
