Aurora remained in Lucian’s penthouse for the next few days, choosing silence over confrontation. She kept her phone off, refusing to entertain the outside world, especially the whispers and speculations that must have already begun. The trauma of what happened lingered in her body like an unwelcome guest, but she found solace in Lucian’s presence.Lucian didn’t ask too many questions.

Ethan adjusted his cufflinks as he admired his reflection in the mirror. Tonight was perfect. Another lavish party, another public display of their supposed victory.He turned to Vanessa, who was draped in an expensive silk gown, her diamond necklace shimmering under the golden chandeliers of the grand ballroom. She clinked her champagne glass against his, her lips curling into a smug smile.“To us,” Vanessa purred.“To us,” Ethan echoed, taking a slow sip of his drink.Vanessa chuckled. “Aurora for sure didn’t see this coming.

Lucian opened the car door of Aurora. “I’ll join you later. Let’s have a dinner as a celebration.” Aurora smiled. Lucian had been supporting her since the beginning.
