All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Vow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Adrian’s POV The phone on my desk rang sharply, cutting through the heavy silence of my office. I had just finished another tedious meeting, my mind barely focused, when Jack’s name flashed across the screen. I frowned. Jack never called unless it was urgent. Picking up immediately, I pressed the phone to my ear. “Sir,” Jack’s voice was tight, almost panicked. “It’s Lucas. He’s been in an accident. They’ve taken him to St. Augustine’s Hospital.” For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Lucas Valentine. My best friend. My brother in every way that mattered. Without another word, I threw my phone onto the desk, grabbed my keys, and stormed out of the office. All I could think about was Lucas. The man who had stood by me through everything—my parents’ death, my first business failure, the rough beginnings of my empire—he had been my constant. My family. And now he was fighting for his life. I got into my black Aston Martin and slammed the door shut, the engine roaring

Aurora’s POV I woke up feeling groggy, the morning sunlight slipping through the cream-colored curtains of my bedroom. My head ached faintly, probably from staying up too late reviewing presentations. But that wasn’t what made my mood dip further this morning. Today, my bodyguard was officially starting. And as much as I appreciated my family’s concern for my safety, the idea of someone shadowing my every move didn’t exactly thrill me. Still wearing my satin robe, I shuffled into the bathroom to freshen up. A splash of cold water on my face helped slightly, but the thought of a stranger living under our roof was more sobering than refreshing. I tied my hair up into a loose bun and padded downstairs. The scent of fresh croissants and scrambled eggs greeted me before I even stepped into the dining room. My mother was already seated, sipping her tea, while my two older brothers, Jason and Alex, bickered softly over sports news on one of their phones. Dad sat at the head of the

Aurora’s POV It was a quiet Saturday morning, sunlight streaming in through the large arched windows of my bedroom, warming the sheets around me. I stretched lazily, letting out a soft sigh. For the first time in weeks, I felt something close to excitement flutter in my chest. My phone buzzed, vibrating against the nightstand. I reached for it with half-lidded eyes and smiled when I saw the name Vivienne flashing across the screen. “Finally!” she squealed before I could even say hello. “We’re hanging out today, no excuses.” I laughed. “I wasn’t going to make any.” “It’s been too long, Rora,” she added, her voice softening. “You need to breathe again.” I agreed. Ever since the stalker situation and the arrival of my too-serious bodyguard, Adrian Blackwell, life had felt… tense. After hanging up, I rushed into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and slipped into a floral crop top and jeans. I felt good—comfortable, casual, and ready for a day with my people. But just as

Aurora’s POV I woke to a pulsing ache behind my temples, as if someone were twisting a vice around my skull. My eyelashes fluttered open, and I blinked against the grey morning light filtering through my curtains. The events of last night rushed back, the laughter, the music, the way some stranger had pressed too close at the club, and how Adrian had erupted like a volcano to carry me out of danger. Steeling myself, I opened my bedroom door. Immediately, there he was: Adrian, standing perfectly still in the hallway, arms folded, eyes fixed on me. I held my breath. My pulse fluttered in my throat. Then, with every ounce of dignity I could muster, I swept past him without a word. He fell in step behind me, silent as a shadow. “You look pale,” my mother said, concern creasing her brow. “Are you all right?” I forced a smile. “Just a headache. I’ll be fine.” We ate breakfast in silence. My father steered the conversation toward company matters shareholder meetings, new vaccine initi

Aurora’s POVAfter I finished the movie I was watching, I went out of my room and ate lunch. After that, I felt bored and went to the porch and then called Vivienne.She's been my friend since we were young. They owned the Harts Global Company, which is on of my favorite Drinks Company. Theirs was located at the southern part.Every vacation, we get to be together. We played together when we were children. Even though there were other children who came to play with us siblings before, she was the closest to me."Aurora! How have you been? It's been a while" Vivienne said which made me smile. I've missed her."I'm fine. Can we meet? I'm bored here" She chuckled."I can't come over there right now because I am a little bit busy here. But you can come over if you want""Sure. I'll be there in 30 minutes" I said and ended the call. I stood up and went upstairs to my room. I changed my clothes and then tied my hair into a ponytail and wore flat sandals. I didn't bother putting make up on j
