"Aww! It's big! And pretty!" Tiffany gawked, pressing her face to the car's window as Sebastian's parents' house came into view. 'This is it. I'm finally meeting his parents again, but this time there are no other guests to take their attention. Their eyes will completely be on me.' I swallowed air and rubbed my palm across my lap. 'It's not a big deal. I just have to lie to a couple that I'm dating their son, but who knows what they would do to me if they find out I'm lying? Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to Sebastian's plan. I'm even more nervous than I would have been if Sebastian was actually my boyfriend. Is it too late to—' "You'll be fine, Aurora. My parents love you." Sebastian assured me, patting my knee. "There's a high chance of them changing their mind if we don't pull this off." I let out a dry laugh. "Trust me, we make the perfect couple." He kissed me on my cheek, and my face flushed. "Aww, Mummy is shy." Tiffany cooed as she ogled at Sebastian and me, a larg

"It's Bruno, and he is my ex. We divorced five years ago." I said, and I sipped my wine as if it would drown the anxiety pooling in my stomach. After the drama we had at Bianca's engagement party, I knew it was only a matter of time before she brought it up. But anticipating it hadn't softened the anxiety that came when she mentioned his name. "Thank heavens you did; he is the type of man I wouldn't let my dog near. How on earth did your parents approve of your marriage? I read they forced you to. Is it true? That's vile! How—" "Mom." Sebastian cut through her ranting, narrowing his eyes at her as he placed his hand on my thigh. Her gaze flickered to her husband, who shook his head at her, and she sat up straight. "Pardon my insensitivity. I shouldn't have asked that." She quickly apologised and pressed her lips to a thin line. "It's alright. I know you were only concerned." I gave her a weak smile. "M-my parents thought he—" "You don't have to say anything if you're not c

"Oh..." I mumbled, and I furrowed my brows.'That sounds familiar. It's like that time I wanted to jump off a bridge too but ended up saving a man who wanted to do the same thing. I can't believe we had a similar experience. The world is strange.' I mused. 'Come to think of it, that guy's name was a S name too. I think it was Stephen, yeah, Stephen. Funny.'"Was that the lady you were talking about the day you showed me your house? The one you said I remind you of?" I asked."Yes. I don't know how she managed to convince me not to jump. She made me promise that I would live and make amends instead, and I did. I went back home to my family, and I was surprised that they didn't hate me like I thought they would. I felt so much worse when I saw how much heartbreak they got when they realised what I had almost done to myself." He sat up and leaned against the back of the sofa as he stared into the distance. "It was selfish of me. I wasn't thinking of them; I was only finding an easy way o

I what?What I felt for Sebastian was something I couldn't really place. I trusted him with all of my heart, just like I trusted Dorothy, but somehow, he wasn't just a friend or a best friend—that was reserved for one person alone.There was something more that ran deeper than platonic friendship, but I couldn't find the right words to describe it."Do I sound crazy? I feel like I do, so I won't blame you if you feel the same." I joked, wearing a sheepish smile."No, not crazy at all. You're making a lot of sense. You finally saw that I'm worthy of your trust, and I feel like throwing a party to celebrate." Sebastian grinned, throwing his arm around me and squeezing my shoulder."Don't you think that's too much?" I snorted."With how much you suspected me for the first few weeks we were together, I think a party won't be enough. I might have to do it for a whole week. If I could conquer your heart, then there's no one I can't win over.""You're so dramatic. If someone heard you, they

My eyes fluttered close as I wrapped my arms around Sebastian’s neck and deepened the kiss. It wasn't polite or gentle. It was hungry, like he was a starved man and I was a freshly cooked meal. "I know I shouldn't do this, but since that time, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I don't know how I've managed to control myself from touching you, from kissing you." He muttered against my lips as he made me straddle him, and my face grew hot at his bulge in his pants. "Why didn't you tell me?" I breathed as he trailed butterfly kisses from the corner of my lips down to my neck. "I didn't want to scare you. I was afraid you would run away if I showed you how badly I wanted you. Especially since I had had a taste of you." He kissed the sensitive spot at the corner of my neck, and I gasped, clenching his shoulders. "I've lost track of how many times I imagined us doing more that night. I've been dying to know how good it will feel to be buried into you as you moaned and gasped." My

Sebastian and I spent far much longer time than needed to get to my room, as he took me past stairs and turns that weren't needed, but I didn't complain. It wasn't like I actually needed to go to bed anyway. I was tired but not too tired. Besides, his stories were too interesting, and I wanted to spend a little more time alone with him. Something we couldn't have for the past few days because Grace clung to me just as much as she did to Tiffany. Which was nice, nice but strange. It was weird having someone act like a mother to me since my mother didn't do the job well, but it was really sweet. And made me guilty for lying to her. "So I guess I have to go to bed now." I said as we stopped at the door. I didn't want him to go but if I dared invite him inside my room, I wasn't going to be able to stop myself from kissing him and doing more. "I guess you do. Good night, Aurora." Sebastian replied but didn't move. "Um... Thanks for walking me to my room." I smiled, and musterin

"Mommy?" Tiffany mumbled; her big blue eyes watched me as I tucked her in bed. "Yes?" I replied. "Are you ok? You look sad since we got home." She said, and my lips twitched to a small frown. I hadn't expected her to pick that up, but who could escape the watchful eyes of kids? Bruno really messed up my mood. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my mind always went back to the envelope. "I do?" I whispered as I sat beside her, and she nodded. "Hum, don't be sad; I miss Grandma and Grandpa too, but we'll see them soon." She yawned and snuggled under the duvet. "I guess you're right. Thanks for reminding me." I smiled at her and patted her hair. "Good night, baby. I love you." "Goodnight, Mummy. I love you too." She whispered as her eyes fluttered close and I kissed her head. I stared at her for a few seconds with my heart warm and fuzzy. I was so lucky to have a daughter like Tiffany after everything that happened to me. She was a big ray of sunshine who bro

'I can do this. I can do this. It's just a simple meeting. He can't do anything to me.'I told myself as the waitress led us to the private dining room in the restaurant Bruno had reserved for us. My stomach clenched the moment my gaze rested on him; my legs trembled.This was a bad idea. I shouldn't be here, or at least, I should have told Sebastian.But it was too late to run. I was already in the mess. The best I could do was to take advantage of the situation and hope that something good came out."I'm glad you could make it." Bruno grinned as he stood up and pulled out the opposite chair for me.I bristled as my gaze flickered from him to the chair.Why was he acting like a gentleman? Was this some kind of trick? Whatever it was, I wasn't falling for it.'I am not timid. I am strong. I am confident. Bruno has no hold on me. I am no longer afraid. I am free.' I chanted in my brain, sending a bolt of confidence through me, and I squared my shoulders.I couldn't show him that I was

"Excuse me? That's your deal." I gawked at him with my mouth hanging open."Yes. You can call Sebastian now and tell him it's over. I heard that you're living with him, so I expect you to move out within three days. I won't rush you about spending the night with me, but it has to be within one week. These are fair conditions, aren't they? Honestly, I think it's a low price to have our daughter all to yourself, but I've always been an understanding man, haven't I?" Bruno grinned.Wait. This man expected me to break up with my 'boyfriend', move out, and sleep with him?!"Have you run mad? Did you drink before you came here? Or is it drugs? Have you started doing drugs?" I asked, genuinely worried because he had to be high on something or sick in the head to demand such stupidity from me."Don't insult me, woman! I'm doing you a favour and this is the thank you I get?! I ought to walk out of here and make plans with my lawyer to make sure I get full custody of our daughter." He snarl

My phone's annoying constant vibration woke me from my sleep, and I groaned. I picked it up as I sat up, and I frowned at the many notifications from my social media. I opened one of them, and I gasped at the multiple hate messages sent to my dm. What's going on? My hands trembled as I checked each message, each notification, and they all had the same thing in common. They were calling me a sl*t, a whore, a bitch. Many of them said I didn't deserve Sebastian and we should break up. Bruno had sent me a message, asking me if I like his present. Tears streamed down my face as I finally saw the cause of all the hate towards me. It was a video, and though it was not too clear, I could see the two people in it clearly. It was I and Bruno at the restaurant, kissing. The video was taken at an angle that hid the fact that he was forcing me, and it only showed the few seconds when our lips touched. It was all a setup. He already planned to cause the scandal when he invited me to the rest
