Aurora's awakening was announced by the gentle touch of her cellphone. Grumbling lazily, she reached out for the device, which was in the pocket of her jeans lying on the floor."Hello?" she answered, her thoughts still sluggish from just waking up."Where have you been?" Luna inquired from the other end of the line."I just woke up," she replied evasively, not wanting to admit that she was in Tristan's bed."Do you know what time it is?" Luna scolded.Aurora glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand and realized that it was already past noon."It's past noon," she confirmed."Exactly! You were supposed to be at my house by 10 in the morning!" Luna exclaimed, furious.Aurora widened her eyes, having completely forgotten that she had promised to help Luna get ready for the wedding."Oh my goodness, Luna, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot!" she exclaimed, quickly getting up and hurriedly putting on her clothes. "Don't worry, I'll be there in twenty minutes!""Hurry up! Please!" Lun

POV - (Point of View) Aurora NavarroThe last two days have been a bit strange between Adelaide and me. She doesn't seem angry about my decision to trust Tristan, she's just not entirely convinced it will work out. However, we're still talking normally, despite this underlying tension. Kai doesn't seem bothered by it, he was just surprised at first and continues to act as usual. Thomas practically wanted to set off fireworks when he found out, and I wasn't the one who told him, it was that gossip-monger Klaus. Those two are always in cahoots now. As for me, I feel like this time I can place my bets on that Mr. Arrogant and Proud. He said it'll be good for me, and from what I know of him, I know he keeps his word.***Alexander is moving. It's not usual for newlyweds to live on opposite sides of the city, so Luna wanted him to move into her house as soon as possible."It's been nice having you as a neighbor!" I bid farewell to Alexander in front of his old house. Luna's driver was wait

POV - (Point of View) Aurora NavarroI return home after the commotion that was my day. Alone in the elevator, I call Adelaide, who spent the day with Kai at the hospital."Is there anything you need?" I ask, concerned."No, thank you. I stopped by home earlier and grabbed some clothes and blankets," Adelaide replies."I should be there with you." I express my regret."None of that! You can't skip school or work, and Kai wouldn't be happy to know you did that." She tries to reassure me."You're also missing work." I argue."But I can, because I took leave," she explains, and then the elevator doors open."But Sister..." My sentence is interrupted when I see an unbelievable sight.Sitting on the floor and leaning against the door of my apartment is Tristan Callahan, wearing the same clothes as earlier today and holding a nearly empty bottle of alcohol in his hands. His eyes don't have a fixed point, he seems pensive and looks weary."Hello? Aurora? Are you still there?" Adelaide calls

After taking a cold shower and putting on her pajamas, Aurora turned on her laptop and started the latest episode of a series she had been watching in recent days. When she was halfway through the episode, the ringtone of her phone echoed in the room.Who dares to interrupt me at a moment like this? - thought the redhead.She paused the drama, sat on the bed with her legs crossed, and picked up the phone from the dresser. It was Tristan. Her subconscious waged a battle between answering and not answering."What does he want now? We already put an end to our argument."Without much thought, she answered the call and tried to sound as cold as possible."What do you want?" she said with a stern voice."Where are you?" Tristan asked."None of your business," she replied coldly."Are you at home?""Why do you want to know?""Look out the window."She furrowed her brow in confusion but did as he said. She went to the window and pulled back the curtain. Her chest warmed when she saw the blac

Griffin entered his office, almost letting the coffee-filled mug fall to the floor in surprise."Announcing your visits is always a good idea, you know? You should try it," Griffin said with a touch of sarcasm."I came to schedule an urgent test," Tristan replied, ignoring the previous sarcasm. The doctor sat down, looking concerned."What happened? Are you not feeling well?""It's nothing related to my health. I want to do a paternity test.""For what purpose?""You're not stupid, you know what it's for.""Oh my God!" Griffin exclaimed. "I knew this day would come, but I didn't think it would be so soon!" He placed the mug on the table and picked up a pen. "Who is it?""Genevieve.""Your ex-secretary?" Tristan nodded. Griffin rolled his eyes. "How long ago?""Does that matter?""The sample can only be collected when the pregnant woman is at least in the twelfth week of pregnancy."He calculated mentally. It hadn't been three months since the night of the fashion show."For now, I wan
