Thorne's Seduction: a dangerous affair のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

AURELIA'S P.O.VIt wasn't until the early hours of the next morning before we got home. Thorne and I had shared a few kisses in the car before we entered the house.Most of the lights were off, save for a few, which meant everyone was asleep. I had just reached the kitchen area when I felt a tug pulling me back into a broad chest."Ugh, can we go back?" Thorne groaned, his chest vibrating as he spoke. I giggled in response and then turned to face him."Unfortunately we can't, and I'm pretty sure it'd be hard for us to be alone together; it'd seem too suspicious."The lights outside cast enough light for me to see him pouting. He looked adorable."Well, I guess. But not for long, I hope.""Not for long, babe, we'll tell them. Soon." I reassured him, pecking his lips intending for it to be a short kiss, but he had other plans in mind as it soon turned heated. He backed me up into the island, hoisting me up by my thighs as it turned into a full-blown makeout. We were too immersed in ours

AURELIA'S P.O.VI had remained locked up in my room well into the evening, still reeling from shock. My stalker had followed me all the way here, which made me draw two conclusions: either my stalker was someone I knew or someone I barely knew or remembered who bore a grudge against me. But who could it be? I usually kept to myself; I barely interacted with people unless it was necessary. And then my mind pondered on people I knew. Celia would never hurt me in such a way; we had known each other for a long time, so I knew what she was capable of and what she wasn't. I knew she couldn't be my stalker. My mind then went to Ralph; I mean, he had basically blackmailed me into telling Cooper the truth, but I couldn't imagine he'd stoop so low as to stalk me, and besides, judging by our last conversation, he didn't know anything about Thorne and I.My mind then drifted to Cooper. Could he be the one? I couldn't completely rule it out, as he always had a habit of wanting to know where I was

AURELIA'S P.O.VDarkness, that was all I could see...all I could touch. Why was it so dark in here? I was cold. I could hear two voices, then I heard someone leave, and it went silent. I could hear someone sobbing, begging me to wake up. Was I asleep? Perhaps that must be why I could only see the darkness. I could see blurry visions like a playback. What are those? I didn't know. I needed to wake up; I had to. So with every bit of strength in me, I willed myself to wake up. At first, all I could hear were the beeping sounds of a heart machine, and then I heard quiet sobs. I felt warmth on my arm, so I looked at it to see Celia resting on it, her tears coating my skin."Cee." I croaked, my throat parched. "Oh my goodness, Lia, you're awake. Thank God, you're awake.""Water." Hurriedly, she poured me a glass and handed it to me, helping me drink. Once I was satisfied, I patted her arm, signaling I was fine. "What happened?" "You don't remember?" She asked, her eyes were red as she lo

AURELIA'S P.O.VI awoke groggily to the rays of sunlight seeping into my room, but I made no move to get up; I have no strength in me to want to do anything. I had stayed off social media for the last couple of days; I had received criticism from the public, who insulted me relentlessly; some even went as far as making mocking videos. In the end, I had to shut off my phone so I could get some peace. I wanted to lie here all day and just feel sorry for myself. But I knew I couldn't, especially because I knew a few people who would never let me get depressed in peace. An example being Celia, who just barged into my room."Rise and shine, sleeping beauty. We're going to do something fun today, be it going out, staying indoors, and having fun. Something, anything." She sang cheerily.Pulling the duvet over my hair, I grumbled, "Go away; I want to be alone." I felt cold air hit me as she threw the covers off me, her arms placed on her waist as she gave me one of those glares which a mother

THORNE'S P.O.VI was starting to lose my mind at this point. Celia had called me, her voice worried as she told me about Lia being missing. In her words, she had gone out to throw the trash, and she hadn't been back ever since. She stated that she had seen Lia's cat, Lucy, lying outside, but Lia was nowhere to be found. If there was one thing I knew about Lia, it was that she'd never leave her cat out carelessly. She even brought the pet on the trip we had, so I knew something terrible had happened. Luckily for me, I had done something a while back which she didn't know about. After the break-in incident, I had installed a camera right outside and in specific corners to capture any incidence of break-ins or anything else. I didn't mean to spy on her, but it was just for her own safety, and now I'm glad I did. Turning on my laptop, I pulled up the last footage from the last hour. I watched as she threw out the garbage, looked around cautiously before she bumped into a man who covered
