Chapter 111: Are You Sure?

AURORA'S POV She made me think of a popular actress, from one teenage series. “I mean, I’m not complaining. I get my money but the Kings aren’t a bad family to marry into, child.” “I’m sure.” I signed the last page and pushed it toward her. “Can you send it to him, please?” She shook her head. “Sorry. Your husband has to get it in person. A sheriff must give it to him, and then you’ll get proof that it was done.” There were a lot of people who would love to see Aiden get divorce papers from the police but I didn’t want to hurt or embarrass him. “Is that really needed?” Just this morning, Aiden sent me another message using a cloud app. Aiden: Talked to your aunt (if you tell anyone I spoke to a cloud, I’ll deny it). She said I should take you on a honeymoon. I bought the tickets. He didn’t give up. But he gave me space. He never came to my house or pushed into my life like before. “Yes,” the lawyer said, nodding like one of those bobblehead dolls. “If you’re not sure, may

Chapter 112: Doing The Right Thing

AURORA'S POV Murmurs and gasps filled the media room at Royal Pipelines. Journalists and reporters yelled questions about Green Living, Herold Landon, and the possible fight with Greenpeace, who might take over the lawsuit Herold had started. My heart raced so fast I thought I might pass out. Aiden raised his hand calmly, stopping the flood of questions. “As I said, this will be short, and I won’t be answering any questions. In addition to halting all oil-rig work, from this afternoon, I also own the Arctic areas nearby that have shown potential for oil. This means King Royal Pipelines now controls all the oil reserves and drilling rights in the Arctic. Forever. “I’ll look into cleaner options to grow Royal Pipelines' business and I’m still committed to providing jobs for tens of thousands of Americans. Actually, I want to tell our investors that I’ve already secured something much more profitable than the Arctic and much less harmful.” The smile he gave the camera was one of v

Chapter 113

AIDEN'S POV They walked away from me many times in my life, I almost said. Mother’s eyes were filled with unshed tears, and she tried not to cry. Father’s face stayed serious. They started to leave the office but mother stopped at the door and held my face, looking up at me. “Please forgive me,” she whispered so only I could hear. “I’m so sorry for everything and you are absolutely right. You deserve better than how we lived, Aiden.” I kissed her cheek. “I forgive you.” “Really?” I nodded. “Now leave.” Then it was my father’s turn. His eyes looked both a little annoyed and a little happy. “My son.” He nodded. “You keep surprising me. Your brother is wild but easy to understand. That’s why I sent the Sterling girl to him. Your sister is kind, so I don’t worry about her but you.” He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. “You were my hurt child, which made you more dangerous because we both knew you could survive anything. You think I don’t know,” he whispered, leaning close, cl

Chapter 114

AURORA'S POV It was time to break another promise. "There is a cloud in our backyard!" Dahlia, one of my students, shouted, pointing her small finger at the window behind me. "Wow!" Reid’s big, black eyes opened wide. "That is one huge cloud." "Okay, everyone," I said, holding the book I was reading. The kids sat around me on the bright alphabet rug. The fog outside was making them lose focus. "Sit with your legs crossed. Let’s finish our story about Paddington on his Busy Bee Adventure Trail before we go outside." "Finding B words is so boring!" Noah tried to spell the word but got it wrong. He moved around on the carpet, upset. "Mommy says teachers aren’t very smart, or they would not be teachers. I want to play with the big cloud!" Well, Noah, maybe Mommy is just being mean... "Please!" Dahlia begged. "Oh, Ms. Aurora!" Reid whined. The kids crowded around me, climbing onto my lap, their hands together like they were praying. "Please, please, please let us play with the cl

Chapter 115

AURORA'S POV The kids were running all around us. I thought it meant something, that the reason we were brought together, the idea of having children, surrounded us, even though I wasn’t pregnant.“I want one hour with you. Just sixty minutes. That’s all I ask. When do you finish work?”“Four,” I said. “Same as always.”“I’ll wait.”At least he didn’t tell me to skip work this time.“How did you make a cloud?” I pointed behind him.“NASA has a book. It’s easy.”“It looks amazing.”“Even third graders can do it.”“I don’t care.” I shook my head. “Will you wait for me?” I looked around at the school.He smiled. “Aurora, I’ve waited eight years for you. I can wait four more hours.”The drive to Aiden’s house was quiet. Before I got out of Little Genius, I set a timer for sixty minutes on my phone. I played with my bag strap, looking at the boring view outside, trying to calm down.This was the moment. A part of me always knew Aiden wouldn’t just sign the divorce papers and let go. Maybe

Chapter 116

AURORA'S POV He held my waist and gently pulled on my dress, stopping me from getting too close to the flowers. To the sea of flowers. I just noticed this part of the house was full of wildflowers. And not just any flowers. These pink and white ones looked like tiny, sad hearts. I swallowed and stepped back. “How long have you had those?” “Almost four years.” He looked at me with a small frown. “About a month after Henry and Sandy’s wedding, my gardener called me outside and said I needed to see something. He said it was strange. He didn’t plant the bleeding heart flowers and didn’t know how they got there. He thought maybe the wind blew seeds from another garden but I remembered something because after I took the flowers from your hair, I wrapped them in a napkin. Later that night, when I arrived home, I went out to the garden to smoke a cigar, found the napkin, and threw it out. It was just one flower. My gardener asked if I wanted to keep it. I thought about your curse, no,

Chapter 117

AIDEN'S POV I had been in and out of clinics. Besides Tourette’s, I was also told I had OCD and ASD. To me, it felt like my world had ended. People think Tourette’s means you scream bad words without control and look crazy. They think OCD means you wash your hands over and over. And ASD means I’m on the autism spectrum. Most people think that means I’m like Rain Man—very good with numbers, but not smart in other ways. I quickly knew I had to get better if I wanted to live the life I wanted. I learned that I couldn’t stop the tics, but I could stop the things that made them happen. The tics came when I felt too much. Any strong feeling made it worse—sadness, anger, fear, or even happiness. If I got too excited, a tic attack would come soon. So I learned not to feel anything. If I stayed calm and didn’t feel too much, the tics stayed away. It was simple, and it helped everyone around me too. Well that explained a lot. Why Aiden always wore leather gloves because he didn’t like touch

Chapter 118

AURORA'S POV Sandy and Ariella were in the room too, fussing over me.“I’m tired of crying every time I see a Super Bowl ad or hear a Katy Perry song on the radio.”“You cry because she’s a bad singer, right?” Annabelle sat at the end of my bed, rubbing my feet. “Just making sure your hormones are only messing with your feelings, not your music taste.”I laughed and gave her a gentle kick. “I’m being serious.”“My mood swings never stopped,” Sandy said, lying on a recliner in the corner of our bedroom. “I remember pushing Tanya in her stroller on a walking path, and I saw a squirrel running around. I thought its tail would be good for cleaning baby bottles. It was very fluffy, okay?”“No offense, girl, but you’re not the best example,” Annabelle said, putting my right foot on her leg and pressing her thumbs into the bottom of my foot. “You got pregnant again before Tanya even learned to recognize voices. Does your husband know he can stop sometimes?”“No,” we all said at the same tim

Chapter 119

AURORA'S POV Aiden gave the door an annoyed look, then looked back at me. I raised my hands. “I can’t control what my sister says.”“If you could, it would be a full-time job. Have you heard from Morgana this week? She asked when she could visit.”After Aiden and I got back together, I started talking to Morgana Landon again. She was getting a divorce from Herold, who was still in therapy. He worked as a legal consultant and was trying to be a better dad to Tree and Tinder. Morgana was happy when I started visiting her again. I often brought Aiden with me. He watched Tinder and gave Morgana advice.We even took the kids and Aiden to visit Mrs. Veitch for Christmas at her nursing home. She passed away a few weeks later in her sleep.“I need to call Morgana back, but I hope the next time I see her, I’ll have a baby in my arms. Can you help me up? I need a shower.” I moved around on the bed.“I’ve got you.” Aiden picked me up and carried me to our bathroom. I stood under the warm shower

Chapter 120

ARIELLA I grabbed the sleeve of the guy running the ride and pulled on it.“I want to get off,” I said.He looked me up and down slowly, staring too long at my bare legs.“Damn, sweetheart, I’d like to get you off too. But I have to finish my shift. I need the money,” he said, sounding high.I held onto his hoodie and forgot all the manners I’d learned in fourteen years. I was too scared.“No! I mean I want to get off the ride. Unless… can someone sit with me?” I asked, a little hopeful.“Girl, it’s just a ride. If you’re taller than four feet, you can go,” he said, shaking off my hand. “You’ll survive.”“I know. I’m not scared. I just—”“Look…” He held up his hand to stop me. “If I don’t press that red button every three minutes, I lose my job. So are you getting off or staying on?”I was about to say I’d stay on and that I was just being silly, when someone stepped forward and cut in line.“She’ll stay on, Sir.”I didn’t want anyone to see me cry even as tears filled my eyes and ri
