작가: Blueberry Burst
After pouring her heart out, Aurora felt an unexpected lightness settle over her. That night, she managed to sleep deeply and peacefully.

But the next morning, she woke up to dozens of missed calls and messages from unfamiliar numbers. She opened them one by one.

"Rory, where are you? Why did you block me?"

"Didn't we agree to get a marriage license? Why did you just leave without a word?"

"Aurora, this is Ethan. What did you mean by the estrangement announcement?"

The messages kept coming

  • Untangling a Heart From the Past   Chapter 24

    A loud bang echoed, along with Violet's scream. She never got the chance to hit Aurora. Instead, an unmarked truck came barreling around the corner and crashed straight into her. The windshield shattered into pieces. Some shards were embedded into Violet's face, arms, and blood vessels. Bright red blood poured from her wounds as she screamed and trembled while opening the car door to roll out. However, the moment she got out, she saw a group of men in black suits. The leader rolled up his sleeves, showing off his muscles. "You crazy bitch, we've been watching you for days. Finally caught you in the act." Violet's whole body shook. "W-What?"The man kicked her hard, driving the broken glass deeper as she screamed in agony.Another man stuffed something in her mouth to muffle her cries. "You thought you could ambush Mrs. Winston with such pathetic skills? Do you really think we're amateurs?"The bodyguards laughed loudly, mocking her. "Let me tell you something, Mr. Winston assi

  • Untangling a Heart From the Past   Chapter 23

    Under mounting pressure, Xavier and Ethan had no choice but to book the earliest flight back to Nordura.Xavier was admitted to a hospital to recover. Though his body was in Nordura, his heart remained stuck in Elmstead, unable to move on. Day after day, he sat silently in his hospital bed, staring blankly at the blue sky and drifting clouds outside the window.Sometimes, Violet would show up with food or offer to massage his legs. However, he treated her like she was invisible, not even sparing her a word. He completely shut himself off from the outside world, escaping into daydreams where Aurora was still by his side.…Two weeks passed, and although Xavier's injuries had mostly healed, his spirit grew duller by the day.That afternoon, Violet finally snapped. She threw the lunchbox to the floor and yelled, "Xavier, can you stop obsessing over her? I'm right here in front of you! Can't you see me?"Xavier's eyes twitched, but his eyes remained lifeless. He said flatly, "Go away

  • Untangling a Heart From the Past   Chapter 22

    The next afternoon, bright lights shimmered across Aurora's figure inside the bridal boutique. She stood before a full-length mirror, dressed in a luxurious, custom-made wedding gown. The wide, voluminous skirt bloomed like clouds, feeling as soft and delicate as cotton candy against her skin.The boutique staff gathered around her, their eyes full of genuine admiration. One of them gushed, "Miss, you look absolutely stunning. This dress is perfect for you!"Aurora's cheeks flushed. She lowered her gaze, murmuring a shy, "Thank you."Just then, Caden pulled aside the curtain and stepped inside. His eyes locked on her as if entranced, completely captivated by the sight of her. He stood frozen for half a minute before finding his voice."Aurora, you're beautiful," Caden said, his heart feeling like it had been struck by something. He stepped forward and gently kissed her forehead. "I'm a lucky man to be able to marry you."Several boutique staff covered their mouths and stepped asid

  • Untangling a Heart From the Past   Chapter 21

    Xavier shut his eyes in pain, knowing Aurora's personality well. If she said she would die rather than go with him, she meant it. He couldn't afford to take that risk, but it still burned inside him that she'd rather be with someone else."Rory, I really love you. We were together for so many years. If you wanted to get married, you could've just told me. Why run off to marry some stranger instead? I'm begging you, Rory. Please forgive me. Come back with me," he pleaded.Aurora had finally loosened the ropes on her wrists and pulled herself free. She stared coldly at Xavier and said, "Don't insult the word 'love.' I'm not getting married just because I want to get married. I'm marrying because I met Caden, and he made me want that life."She added, her face showing no emotion, "Save your confession for when you go back to Nordura and tell it to Violet."If this had happened in the past, Aurora would have been so thrilled by Xavier's confession that she couldn't sleep. But now, she

    The moment Xavier stepped into the upscale private club's luxury lounge, he saw Caden sitting at the head of the table, staring at him coldly."I figured you'd agree to see me," Xavier said with a smirk, casually pulling out a chair and sitting down.Caden tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes radiating murderous intent. "So, what are your conditions?"Xavier raised an eyebrow. "Conditions? You really want her that badly? Caden, you're supposed to be Elmstead's golden boy, and Aurora's just some woman I got tired of sleeping with. You really want to pick up my leftovers and treat them like treasure?"Caden picked up his coffee cup and hurled it straight at Xavier's chest. "Watch your mouth, or next time it won't be just a cup I'm throwing."Xavier gritted his teeth but kept his cocky attitude. "Caden, my words might be harsh, but they're the truth. Aurora was with me for seven years. I could find that mole on her chest with my eyes closed, and she even carried my child once.

    Xavier stood there like he'd been struck by lightning, reaching out again for Aurora. However, Ethan quickly stepped in to block him. He shot Xavier a warning look and said, "You're going to scare her!"Then, he turned around, his voice suddenly softer. "Aurora, I'm on your side. Don't forgive this guy too easily! But I'm not like him… I'm your big brother. You might not go home with him, but at least come home with me, okay?"He reached out to hug her. "Mom and Dad are back. We're all waiting for you to come home and be a family again—"But the next second, Ethan was punched from behind. He cried out in pain and spun around, stunned to see Caden standing there. He growled, "You punk, I'm her brother! How dare you hit me?"Caden's eyes were ice-cold, anger radiating from his entire body. "You think you deserve to call yourself Aurora's brother?""I—" Ethan was intimidated by his authoritative gaze and stood there unable to say a word.Caden took off his suit jacket and gently d

    "Isla, are we on the wrong floor?" Aurora asked."No, this is the right one." Isla's voice trembled. She braced a hand against the wall and slowly entered the hospital room, tears streaming down her face. "Caden… When did you wake up?"Caden set his book down, then raised his head with a smile. "I

    The Winston family's butler greeted Aurora. "Welcome home, Ms. Aurora."He helpfully and politely dove into introductions for Aurora's benefit. "This is Mr. and Mrs. Winston. That's Wanda Perkins, the housekeeper, and Kelly Ziegler, the nutritionist…"Aurora stepped forward and nodded politely in
