Se connecterChapter 61The glass fell from Aurora’s hand and it hit the floor and cracked and then her body followed.“Aurora!” someone screams.The room turned loud, chairs moved, and people stood up and someone ran.Aurora’s eyes fluttered and her breath came out fast.“I… I don’t feel right…” she whispered and her legs failed her.And then she dropped and a staff member rushed forward. “Call emergency! Now!”Another worker grabbed her phone with shaking hands. “Yes, emergency! Someone collapsed! Please come fast!”Annabel stepped back and her face changed.“What… what is happening?” she said, but her voice was not steady.The staff knelt beside Aurora.“Miss Aurora, can you hear me? Stay with me!”Aurora’s fingers twitched and her lips moved.“…Caspian…”The name slipped out low and it was barely there but someone heard it and Annabel’s eyes widened.“What did she just say?” she whispered and the staff did not answer.“Bring water! No, forget water! We need a medic!”Aurora’s breathing got w
CHAPTER 60Aurora’s fingers closed around the glass and she lifted it slowly.Her eyes stayed on Annabel and Annabel smiled.“Go on,” she said and Aurora brought the glass close to her lips.Then she paused and her eyes narrowed.“Wait.”Annabel’s smile held. “What is it?”Aurora lowered the glass a little.“There is something I want to ask you.”Annabel leaned back. “Ask.”Aurora’s gaze sharpened.“The last time we met… you didn’t tell me something.”Annabel blinked once.“What do you mean?”Aurora’s voice was calm, but her eyes were not.“You didn’t tell me that Caspian is your fiance.”There was silence and Annabel’s smile froze for a second and then she laughed lightly.“Oh… that.”Aurora kept looking at her.“Yes. That.”Annabel shrugged. “It didn’t matter.”Aurora’s brows pulled together.“It didn’t matter?”Annabel leaned forward.“I didn’t think it was important at that time.”Aurora shook her head slowly.“That doesn’t make sense.”Annabel’s smile faded a little.“What doesn’
CHAPTER 59Caspian walked out fast and the night air hit his face, but he did not slow down.“Aurora…” he said under his breath and he looked around, searching, but her car was gone and then his chest felt tight.“Damn it.”He then pulled out his phone.“Ralph.”The call connected.“Boss?”“Find her. Now.”“Right away.”Caspian ended the call and stood still for a moment and the his eyes hardened.“I will not stop.”…Inside the event hall, Annabel did not move, people were still talking, laughing, drinking.But she heard nothing and her eyes stayed fixed on the door Caspian just used.Her hand slowly moved into a fist.“So this is how it is…” she whispered and then she turned and walked out.Her heels hit the floor fast, her face was calm but her eyes were not.…Later that night, Annabel sat alone in her room, the lights were on, but she did not notice, her phone was in her hand and she scrolled through something.Pictures, videos, Aurora, Liam and the baby girl and then her jaw tig
Aurora 58Aurora did not wait, she immediately turned at once and walked away from them.Her heels hit the floor fast, her head was up but her face showed nothing now but inside, something was shaking and behind her, voices rose.“Annabel, stop this nonsense,” Caspian said, and his voice was tight.Annabel laughed lightly, holding his arm tighter. “Nonsense? I am your fiancee. Why are you acting like I am the problem?”Aurora heard it. Fiancee, the word hit her again, her steps slowed for a second… then she kept walking.“Ma’am?” one of her staff called gently, trying to keep up with her.Aurora raised a hand. “Cancel the rest of my meetings tonight.”“Yes, ma’am.”She then walked past the long hallway, past people who bow their heads, past the bright lights.Her mind was not calm and Caspian’s voice kept echoing.“You are my wife.”Her fingers pressed into her palm.“Ridiculous…” she muttered under her breath but her chest felt tight.Why?…Back at the event hall, Annabel still clun
Chapter 57Annabel’s smile lingered long after Aurora left and then she sat alone, and her fingers tapped the table slowly.“Stay away from him,” she whispered to herself and her eyes shone with something dark and then he picked up her phone.“Prepare the car,” she said. “We are going to the Sterling Grand tonight.”—That evening, the Sterling Grand glowed with lights, there were big names, rich people and powerful faces.Music played low, glasses clinked and then Caspian walked in and his eyes scanned the room fast.He was not here for business, he was here for her and Ralph followed behind him.“Sir, are you sure she will be here?” Ralph asked and Caspian’s voice was firm. “She will.”He then moved forward and his heart beat fast and the he saw her. Aurora.She was standing across the hall, she was speaking with a group of executives, she was calm, strong and untouchable.Liam was not with her and also Mia was not with her as well, it was just her.Caspian stopped walking and his c
Chapter 56Annabel stepped out of the building with a smile that did not reach her eyes, and she walked to her car slowly, and then her heels tapped the ground and her mind was full.“She doesn’t remember,” she whispered.Her driver then opened the door for her and she got in and shut it.“Drive,” she said and the car moved.Annabel then leaned back and let out a slow breath and then she laughed under her breath.“So easy.”She then took out her phone and scrolled through it, she then stopped at one name. Caspian.And her eyes became hard.“You want her back?” she muttered. “Let’s see how you fight this.”—Inside Aurora’s office, there was silence and Aurora sat still, and stared at the door Annabel just walked through.Her fingers then tapped lightly on the table and something felt strange but she could not explain it.The way Annabel spoke, the way she watched her, it felt like a hidden meaning behind her words and Aurora exhaled and leaned back and her mind drifted.Then a face a
Caspian sat in silence, his mind filled with the thoughts of Aurora's demand. He bowed his head as the weight of Aurora's words pressed him down. The thought of how a prestigious CEO like himself will all of a sudden turn into an errand boy hurt his pride and self-esteem really hard. He tightened hi
The following morning, Caspian got dressed in a plain white shirt. Tugging its shirt in black trousers, his tie was well knotted, even though stress was obviously displayed on his face. He still looks extremely classic, looking every inch like a CEO. He walked elegantly to Apex Group, his heart poun
Aurora maintained her gaze at Caspian, already losing her temper. “What do you want, Caspian?” “Who is this boy's father?” Caspian responded with a quivering voice. As he swayed his gaze to Aurora, then back to Rome. “It's none of your business, and have you forgotten you had a low sperm count wh
Caspian was stuck in the car, paralyzed by the news that displayed vividly on the small screen of his car. He gawked his eyes at the image of the news playing on the screen right in front of him. The image of the burned warehouse filled the tiny space; he was crushed and couldn't believe his multi-m
