RYLAN POV“Do you understand why I hit you?” He asked, his eyes fixed on me.I nodded my head in response, my head down.“You are about to be the head of the family and the company. Yet you let our family's scars out in public!! Just look at the eyes staring at us!! Do you think they all.like the Blackhood family? They are all just waiting for you to.fall.so they can ride on us!!” He barked, pointing outside. “Rylan!! How long will you be controlled by your mother?!” Asher walks forward, “Unc...Sir Lucian, It's not My Boss's fault. We had no idea what Mrs Raine was planning...we…”I held him back and bowed to my Uncle. I tried to leave with him when Raine held my hand and slapped me with little force. She was already too weak from the night's events..“What are you doing?” My Uncle Barked. He tried to pull her away but she hit his hand.“Are you happy for disgracing me now?” Raine asked, her eyes bloodshot she dragged me back. “Dylan, is your only brother. Did you have to disgrace h

TWO DAYS LATERAURORA POV“Are you sure you want to visit the orphanage home?” Nicky asked, confused. Her gaze fixed on me like I was crazy.I nodded my head forcing a smile.“Aurora.” She took my hands in hers, gripping them tightly. “You promised you’d never go back there. Have you forgotten what they did to you? The years of pain, the things you had to endure?” Her voice trembled. “I don’t want you to reopen those wounds. Please… let’s just live quietly. You don’t need to face that place again.”I forced a faint smile, even as the sting of old memories burned behind my eyes. “Girl,” I said softly, my voice rough. “I’m almost twenty-four now. I’m not that frightened child anymore. Why are you the one trembling for me?”She released my hands, shaking her head. “Aurora, you don’t understand. I can’t let you go back there. What happened to you… it took years for you to breathe again, to smile again.”I drew in a deep breath, standing a little straighter. “Onika Alberto,” I said firmly,

Rylan’s POVThe car sped through the city, the hum of the engine blending with the wind sound. I sat in the back seat, eyes fixed on the blur of lights outside the tinted window.Asher was driving, his gaze fixed on the road. He finally broke the silence. “Boss, You still haven’t checked it, have you?”I didn’t answer right away. My gaze stayed on the glass, watching the reflection of my face on the windshield, but it was not as still as I wanted it to be.He leaned backward slightly. “That card could answer everything. The night of the party, the truth about what happened to you, what she and Raine did.”“She?” I asked quietly.He smirked faintly. “Aurora! Boss, You think I don’t know what you’re afraid to admit?”I turned my head to him, my tone flat. “Drop it.”“Boss, it's better…..you…”“I said, drop it.” I said final, my tone harsh.The air between us thickened.I hated how he could read me. I hated that he was right that I was afraid to know. Because if that card held proof t

RAINE POVI watched Rylan turn his back on me, since the incident at the party- we haven't met.“Why is he here?” I asked the maid by my side.“um..I don't know ma…Butler Zhou told us to leave.” she said, bowing her head.“Is Zhou back again? Didn’t I tell him to leave?” I snapped. “Why is that butler back? I don’t want any more of the Blackwood family dogs in this mansion. Because he doesn't like Red, that's why I let him stay, I would’ve thrown him out long ago. That man is nothing but a one-man squad of Grandpa Blackwood.”“Should I call Sir Rylan back?” the maid asked cautiously.“No..” I barked, cutting her off sharply. “Just go. Go find out what he was doing in the mansion. I don’t want him snooping around places he shouldn’t…”I was cut short by Red's heels clicking sharply against the floor. Her expression held no pretence today- no fake warmth and no polite smile. I stood up ready for her tantrums.She lifted her hand and slapped me across the face, her face burning with rage

An HOUR LATERThe car was quiet while Nicky drove.Nicky kept glancing at me from the driver’s seat, biting her lip occasionally. I could feel her worry filling the small space like fog, but I couldn’t breathe it in. My mind was drowning in itself.The world outside blurred past the window, trees, buildings, shadows but all I could think of was What will I do? I already promised to avenge Lizzy's death. I just can't break my promise. And the truth about my health was shattering me but I ignored those thoughts.“Aurora…” Nicky whispered carefully, not to annoy me more.“Please say something.”I didn’t answer.I just kept staring out the window, my fingers digging into my palms until my nails left marks on my skin.The red traffic light stopped the car.That’s when I finally spoke.“Stop the car.”Nicky startled, turning toward me. “What? Why? Aurora, we’re not home yet…”“Just stop, Nicky.” My voice was calm and I turned to her slightly. “Right here.”She stared at me in disbelief,
