CHAPTER 41

Michael carried Aurora to the dining room. Aurora had her head buried in Michael’s neck, and he could feel her shaky breath.When they arrived, the table was already set, but the maids were nowhere to be seen. He placed Aurora on a seat next to him and sat down beside her.Without waiting, she immediately served herself and started digging into the food. When she noticed that he wasn't eating, she immediately asked,"Aren't you eating?"Michael simply shook his head, and Aurora stayed quiet.Michael, who had been about to serve himself some food, was left speechless.She eats well for someone who was scared shitless. At least she will have a heart strong enough to support what is to come from now onwards.In the end, he simply watched her eat almost half the table filled with food.When she was done, he helped her up from the chair and brought her to their bedroom.As soon as they entered the bedroom, Aurora immediately walked toward the bathroom to freshen up and put on her pajamas.

Michael, who had been silent, asked, “Who sent you?”The maid was shaking uncontrollably as she broke down in cold sweats, and she started begging. “Master, please, I was forced. I don’t know the person. All I know is that it is a woman. She obliged me to do this. She is holding my family hostage.”Michael, who listened quietly, let out a dark chuckle. He picked up his phone and started reading all the information on it.“Mary Ross. You are the only child of your parents and are from the C-class socialites, but your parents died in an accident. You started selling your body for some crumbs, but from what I’m seeing, you are also an assassin.”Michael had asked Bishop earlier to do some research using only her picture.Hearing that, the maid’s face started to pale because she knew she was done for. Lying was no longer an option.Michael asked again, “Who were you after, my wife or me?”The maid answered in a resigned tone, “Your wife.”Hearing that, the air around them stilled. Michael

Aurora leaned back on her seat while gazing absentmindedly at the scenery. “We are in the middle of the town, but why does this place have fewer people?”Ryan, who was throwing some glances at the back, said, “Even though we are in the middle of the city, this place is hardly attainable for everybody.”Aurora, listening, asked back, “So, in the middle of the city, there are little mansions around, surrounded by the forest?”The driver felt like her words had a double meaning, but he still said, “Yes, the Whitmore mansion has fewer than twenty mansions as neighbors, and only six are occupied.”Aurora just nodded and stayed silent. She then glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black car behind them in the distance. She immediately remarked on the license plate number. A few minutes later, as they took a turn, the vehicle was still behind them at a considerable distance.The driver left her on the street, and she told him to come and fetch her in two hours before he left. Aurora turn

Aurora twirled a single strand of hair while replying rather boredly, “I prefer being clear rather than charming in order to prevent misunderstandings.”Venus lifted her cup, observing Aurora over its rim, and said in a secretive tone, “Some stories never truly die. They merely wait to be called back.”Aurora met her gaze impassively and replied, “Stories that are summoned often return with a price. And I'm careful with my debts.”Silence stretched. The noise around them seemed to have simmered down, aligning perfectly with the unnoticeable tension between the two women. Venus was the one to break the silence.“You are harder to read than I imagined.”Aurora replied, “If my life were a book, I would have preferred for it to stay closed. I hate unwanted curiosity.”Aurora took her coat from the nearby chair and said, “Thanks for the invitation and the coffee... even though I didn't touch it.”She stood up and bowed while adding, “I'll have to leave ahead of you.”She started leaving wh
