Chapter 102Through the FireDominique’s POVI sat in a dimly lit café tucked between the cracked sidewalks and rusting lamp posts of San Andreas. The scent of burnt espresso mingled with the metallic tang of rain, but I barely noticed,I couldn't. My mind was too loud, my chest too tight. This wasn’t just any meeting. It was with him, Adam.Aurora’s... brother.I couldn't even process everything well, that why I needed to meet him alone, away from Aurora's eyes. Just I and Addam discussing like men. Every bone in my body told me I shouldn’t be here. That this could be a trap. But none of that mattered. If what Adam said was true, then everything had changed. And I had to know.I kept my hand loose around the ceramic mug in front of me, the coffee cold and untouched. My heart thudded hard as the café door swung open. Adam stepped in, and for once, he didn’t look like the arrogant bastard I knew him to be. He looked... wrecked, broken, like he hadn't slept in days. He spotted me im

Chapter 104 Fading BondsAlex’s POVI've spent Three years away from Aurora, Three years of silence, Three years which felt like forever. Three years of burying every memory of her beneath duty, pride, and the poisonous promises Tiffany whispered into my ear, which turned me against Aurora. Yet tonight, I broke it, the chains that held me from reaching out to her. My fingers trembled as I scrolled through my contacts, stopping at her name. Aurora Thompson. That name still burned like fire in my chest, a fire that burned with much intensity. My thumb hovered over the call button. It felt like betrayal to even want to hear her voice after everything I had sworn. But the ache in my chest refused to be quiet and silent. The phone rang once. Twice. Three times.She won’t pick up. I thought. Then, her voice rang out, just when I lost all hope of her picking the call. “Hello?”Her voice was cautious, sharp with the edge of surprise and fear. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe, my

Chapter 106“Shadows Closing In”Tiffany’s POVThe night was thick with silence, the kind of silence that presses against your ears until every thought in your head feels louder, sharper all at once, Tiffany sat in the dimly lit room, her fingers drumming the mahogany table in restless rhythm. The others trickled in one by one, summoned by her at her every command.m she gave out. Alex entered first, his sharp eyes scanning the room like he owned it, a storm brewing beneath the surface of his expression. Vanessa followed, her expression unreadable, though Tiffany could always sense that her loyalty was woven more from convenience than conviction. Then Peter came last, dragging his feet, his brow furrowed in the kind of hesitation Tiffany despised ever since he agreed to what they had always wanted. Aurora been gone. When they were all seated, Tiffany leaned forward, her voice low, laced with venomous triumph“Aurora is pregnant.”The words dropped like a blade slicing through the

Chapter 108 The Storm UnleashedTiffany’s POVI stood by the window of James Peterson’s suburban house, a smile tugging at my lips as the clock ticked closer to the moment I’d orchestrated,to moment I had planned out for months now. The money that had given me sleepless nights, is finally here. Control,that’s what I thrived on. Every second, every gasp of fear, every beat of panic belonged to me. My men were ready, Alex at my side, his expression blank but uneasy. Subduing James and his wife, Aurora's step mom was very easy all thanks to my body gurads. James and his wife were tied to chairs, their faces bruised from my earlier outburst on them. Just to infuriate Aurora the more when she steps in. “They look pathetic,” I murmured, brushing a loose strand of hair back. I crouched in front of James, gripping his jaw so hard his skin whitened. “Do you know why you’re here? Because your precious daughter thinks she can play queen of a game that I started. I wanted her attention. An

Chapter 110Breaking her will (Part 1) Tiffany’s POVThe silence in the room was thick enough to choke on, the kind of silence that carried weight, tension, and unspoken venom. Aurora sat chained to the chair, her posture far too steady for someone in her position. Her eyes, those hazel eyes of hers carrying hate, those hateful, burning eyes,were fixed on me with a stillness that should have been fear but was replaced by something else.No. She wasn’t trembling like I wanted her to. She wasn’t pleading, begging for my mercy. She was defying me with nothing but her stare. It made my stomach clench in anger. Why would she look at me that way?. I had imagined this moment a hundred times in my head.Aurora broken, begging, humiliated. Disgraced. But instead, she sat there with that infernal quiet strength, looking at me as though she already knew our story ending.And in her silence, I could feel her words pressing into my skin, cutting sharper than any blade could have cut.“You t
