All Chapters of Marriage of Deceit: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AURORA – POVWe were breathing each other in, lips tangled in something that felt like drowning and gasping at the same time. Our mouths moved together-slow, deep, aching. Not rushed, just feeling each others breath.But then, like cold water pouring down my spine..it hit me!! Was i really supposed to be doing this? This isn't my mission!! Falling in love wasn't in my agenda.That voice that always told us the right thing ringed in my ear, “You shouldn’t be doing this Rora!! Not with him!! Not after everything.Not when you don't even know where you stood in his life.”I panicked.I shoved him away with both hands and immediately slapped him on the cheek before I even know what I was doing.The sound echoed through the quiet room like thunder.My hand stung instantly.My heart stopped as He fell flat on his butt, then he froze.His hand slowly rose to his cheek, eyes wide, and stunned—not from the pain, but from something deeper. It was the kind of look someone wears after they’ve b

Aurora POVI was holding my crutches seated at the front seat, I was the first to come to class.Not what you are thinking!! I just want to live by example. Afterall the lecturer is my cheap husband.I was looking out of the door when Alex came in.I signed with a smile, “Hi Alex ,come sit here.” I pointed to my side.Alex stared at me for a bit and walked away to the other side of the class room.It's not so bad, after all I was the one that gave him hope in London and still broke his heart. Alex helped me a lot when I broke up with Dylan.He’s still a good guy, after all.The thought lingered in my mind, swirling with a strange feeling of comfort and regret. I was lost in it when I felt someone breathing heavily beside me.“Hello, baby,” Aubrey whispered playfully into my ear.I jumped a little, startled. “Wha….Aubrey…” I turned to her with a nervous smile.She laughed softly, her head tilted. “What’s wrong, Aurora?”I reached up and touched my ear, almost absentmindedly. “It’s noth

I looked around sharply and saw a trash can. I rushed into the restroom with it, and covered her face. The trash can over her face to muffle the noise and shut her up completely. My leg was still hurting badly as I limped, but I used every ounce of strength I had to shove her to the floor.“Stop it!” she hissed.She clawed at me, still fighting, but I pinned her down, pressing her just long enough to hold her in place. Oliver was quite feisty but I had already planned her downfall today. My fists hit her shoulder…the scene of how she humiliated me in front of Alex kept ringing in my head and that fueled my rage to hit her more. Days of my silence even if I was let down by everyone, I still can't let everyone ride me.I stood and kicked her once..just once..to keep her in check. She curled up making muffled sounds just like me the day they hurt me. I couldn't cry out from the pain, she has to go through all that for my hatred to go away.Then I saw a bucket of sand near the wall. Pro

RYLAN'S POVWe got home in silence.She didn’t protest when I lifted her onto my shoulder. Didn’t flinch. Didn’t look at me. Just… still. Though I was happy she wasn't throwing a fit, and still sad that she was arrested for just a mere fight.I gently placed her on the couch.Rhoda rushed out from the kitchen, her brows tight with worry. “Are you okay, Madam Rylan?”I blinked. Madam Rylan? And I chuckled. Aurora said, “I am fine.Please, just call her Aurora.”I threw a glance at Rhoda, signaling her to bring water. She nodded and disappeared into the kitchen without a word. I always liked that about Rhoda—she understood things without needing them said aloud. Rhoda was my grandfather's househelp, when grandfather died she was very helpful to me. I turned to see Aurora, she was staring at the wall.Her voice came quietly but sharp, “Rylan, why must I endure your family’s madness?”I sighed and signed slowly, “Why did you attack Oliver? Did something happen between you two? Or were yo

RYLAN POVTHE way Aurora protected me was very foreign to me. I thought she was weak, but seeing her doing this scared me and also made me happy. Aside from my Aunt Red, no one has ever been so kind to me. Aurora shielded me multiple.times, she looked very pretty, her eyes shining. Her face glittering like gold.I frowned when she said, “What kind of mother are you?!!” She screamed loudly. “Why would you say something so bad to your own child?! Don’t you get it?! Rylan is deaf and mute. And guess what? You’re the one who gave birth to him! It’s not his fault he can’t talk but it’s yours. You did this!” I know she was helping me, but she was also indirectly insulting me. Calling me deaf and mute to my face? I felt like smacking her head.But I can't do anything but watch her protect me. AURORA was really different from.what they said. Why would she protect me if she was on Raine's side? She was really different from.what I heard. I once heard she was lazy and dropped out of school f
