Aurora I stared at him in disbelief. What just happened? Did he just catch the knife with his bare hands? Did he just save me from getting killed? At the moment when the knife was about to make contact with my body, I thought about a lot of things. A lot of people that meant so much to me—people I couldn't leave behind. But unexpectedly, he saved me. Nathaniel saved me from being killed. Blood dripped from his palm onto the floor, but he didn’t even flinch. Why? Why would Nathaniel do that? "Who the hell are you?" The man shouted, bringing me back to the present. Nathaniel straightened, his bloody hand still clutching the knife, and pushed me behind him. He stood tall, his presence commanding the room as he looked the man directly in the eyes. "I am Doctor Nathaniel. I don’t believe we’ve met, but I was the surgeon who performed your daughter’s operation." The man’s eyes widened, his face twisting with rage. "You bastard! You're the person that killed my Juliet." he shouted, y

Aurora The cool, sterile air of the hospital brushed against my skin as I walked out of Nathaniel’s office. My mind was spinning. An ex-wife? That revelation sat heavy in my chest, creating more questions than answers. Why had no one ever mentioned it before? Why had he mentioned it to me? And why was my heart racing every time I thought about it? I shook my head, trying to clear the confusion. My steps echoed faintly in the hallway as I moved forward, but I couldn’t focus on where I was going. It felt like I was walking in circles. The feeling of always getting close to your goal and then being back at the beginning was frustrating. Whenever I was near the truth, something or someone always had to stop me from finding out. It was starting to annoy me. I could just stop all this trouble and ask my mother or my brothers, but I doubt they would be much help. They were hiding my past for a reason, and they wouldn't just tell me. Nathaniel asked me out for dinner, and the way he

DamienWhat if Astrid, the woman who shattered my carefully built defenses for a single night, had never truly disappeared?I can’t help but scoff, what a stupid thought but the more I thought about it the more I found myself stumped.My men had done their research. Every report, every scrap of evidence pointed to the fact that she had burned to ashes in that accident. There wasn’t even a body left to bury. And yet, something didn’t sit right.For one, the case had been open and shut. A freak accident. They said a truck had collided with her car while she was distracted. The driver barely survived. Three days after being admitted to the hospital, he vanished. No one batted an eye. Who cared where a middle-aged man who could barely walk disappeared to? I sent Jason to find his family, but they had vanished too. Strange. I would have dug deeper if I cared.But I didn’t.I wasn’t grieving. I wasn’t haunted by loss. I was just… unsettled.Astrid had no right to do what she did to come int

Serena “I see you’re out shopping,” Clarissa said, her left hand on her hip and a smirk tugging at her lips. “My father got the invitation to your husband’s event. I’ll be attending with my family, so it only makes sense that you’re buying new clothes so you wouldn’t want to be overshadowed at your own party.”Her other hand was holding a designer bag, and she sneered at me with a look that could rot milk. Her red hair was pulled into a ponytail so tight, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had fried a few of her brain cells.By now, people had started glancing our way, sensing the drama. Olivia, who didn’t know how to hold down her anger, poked her head out from behind me, her eyes glaring right at Clarissa.I tilted my head to the side and bit my lip, trying hard to fight the urge to insult her entire generation. Because that would suit the careful image I’d crafted for years. “Clarissa,” I said with a sweet smile, “if you were worried about being overshadowed, I’d be more than happy to
