CHAPTER 2

AURORA

“Uncle?”

My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag as my brain failed to believe that my husband was being bent over by a man he introduced to me as his uncle from his mother’s side.

This can’t be real…

Chuckling humorlessly to myself, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, willing myself that the sight before me would vanish when I opened them.

However, when I opened my eyes, the shameless man, now pulled out of my husband, stroked his rigid dick whilst glaring at me as if I were the shameless person here.

“What the fuck is going on?!” I bellowed at Ethan, my throat suddenly going dry.

Ethan quickly fixed his pants, his mouth opening and closing with no actual words leaving it... not even an apology.

The pumping sound coming from Uncle Jasper as he stroked his dick made it difficult to think... and I don’t mean this in a good way, I mean it in a disgusting kind of way!

“Are you going to put that pinky finger away, or do I have to shove it off you and throw it in the bin?!” So this was the meeting Ethan talked about? Bending over for his uncle?

Is he even his uncle, or was that just a lie to keep me unsuspecting?

With a scoff, Jasper finally stopped stroking his dick, bent down, and pulled his pants up. “I thought you said she wouldn’t be a problem?”

Refusing to be distracted by his shamelessness, I returned my attention to Ethan.

“Is this really what you have been up to all this while you have been claiming to be busy with work?” I demanded, taking a step closer to him. “I thought you had a meeting?! An actual meeting?!”

My eyes stung from the unshed tears.

After all the sacrifices I made for him, this is the betrayal I get?

Ethan took a shaky breath as he took a step towards me. “Can we not do this here?” he whispered, guilt flashing across his face. “My staff can hear us.”

My glare intensified as the tears clouding my vision finally rolled down my cheeks. “Fuck you, Ethan!” He thinks I care about his staff?

Taken aback by my outburst, Ethan frowned. “I understand you are pissed, but I won’t let this affect my work.” He pointed towards the door. “Go home, Aurora. When I get home tomorrow, we’ll talk about this.”

“Tomorrow?!” I yelled, stabbing my finger at the shameless man watching the drama unfold in the corner of the room. “You’re still spending the night here? With him?!”

He scrubbed his hand down his face. “Just leave, Aurora.”

“You cheated!” I cried, my hand itching to throw anything at him. “You cheated on me with that bastard, and I am the one who has to leave?”

“Are you going to shut her up?” Jasper hissed at Ethan. “All this shouting from her is giving me a headache and is slowly getting me pissed, and you know what happens when I get pissed.”

“How about you shut the fuck up and get the hell out of this place!” I spat, my lips trembling. “You are the bastard who shouldn’t be here!”

Rolling his eyes, he turned to Ethan. “Is she leaving, or should I?”

Dumbfounded by his audacity, I folded my arms and jutted my hips out, giving Ethan the chance to choose, and to my dismay, he chose him.

My husband picked up the landline and phoned his secretary, instructing her to come in and guide me out.

Scoffing in disbelief, I wiped my tears roughly off my face, glaring at the biggest mistake of my life.

“I can’t believe I gave it all up for you.”

A self-realization I didn’t think I would be admitting to in this lifetime.

I don’t know what hurt me the most: the fact that he cheated, the fact that he isn’t showing any remorse, or the fact that he chose him over me.

“Do you want to lose your job?” Ethan snapped at his secretary, who stood beside me with her hands clasped in front of her. “I called you in here to escort her out!”

“That won’t be necessary.” I refused to be insulted any further than I already had. “I’ll leave.”

Snatching up the dinner pack, because there was no way I was letting him use my food to replenish his power after what he did, I stomped out of his office, banging the door behind me.

Not bothering to wipe the tears pouring down my face, I stomped out of the building, straight for Dora’s car, and banged the door shut.

“That wasn’t as quick as I thought it would be,” Dora teased as she slowly lifted her eyes off her phone to my face.

She froze instantly, her lashes batting rapidly. “Are you crying?” She undid her seatbelt, leaning closer to me. “What happened?”

Her probing and concerned expression made it difficult to control my emotions, so the silent tears turned into loud sobbing.

Dora pulled me against her chest and wrapped her arms around me, patting my back gently.

“What’s going on?” she whispered, her voice trembling, she too on the verge of crying.

“I walked in on Ethan having sex,” I choked out, my entire body shaking as I sobbed into her chest.

“Did you just say that ugly motherfucker is cheating on you with his secretary?” she hissed, pulling me back a bit to look me in the face.

The murderous look in her eyes made me chuckle. Wiping my face with the heel of my hand, I leaned back into my seat.

“He wasn’t cheating with his secretary, but his uncle.”

Her eyes widened. “Family incest?”

Now that I think about it, I think I was just stupid in the past not to see the truth.

“I don’t think he was ever his uncle.” Ethan lied to make me unsuspecting of them.

Exhaling, I leaned my head against the window and closed my eyes.

“Take me home. I am tired.”
