AURORA POV “The interior decorator was told to make it look relaxing. It's one of the properties I own.No one really knows about this place” Ryan said He paused, glancing around the open space. “It was a great idea to have a place that felt like my own.” I agreed to spend time away with him because I thought it would be good for both of us. Plus, I needed time to heal, especially with all the events happening. But what I hadn’t fully considered was what it would mean to be completely alone with him.. My mouth dropped open when I entered the kitchen. White marble countertops stretched across the length of the room, and forest green cabinets lined the walls with brushed gold handles. It was the kind of kitchen that I had dreamed about having once I got my own home. “You know,” I murmured, running my fingers along the smooth countertop, “you have my dream house.” His lips curved slightly, but the warmth didn't reach his eyes. He took a seat on one of the barstools, drum

AURORA POVRyan was immediately surrounded by Boris and Luca who held him, both of his arms slung over their shoulders.“What are you doing ” I asked one of the menI got no response and this angered me further. But why was I so concerned about him? Why did I care so much? The question lingered in my mind.“Ryan….” I called out trying to remain calm. He could barely hear me but when he noticed I was tensed, he spoke up“Its Okay Aurora…I'll be fine”“You are hurt” I replied feeling more concerned as his men helped him upstairs and placed him on the bed. I had seen enough violence in my life, enough blood but I could never get used to it “You're going to bleed to death” I yelled, my eyes almost teary. I had been through enough already. I didn't want this kind of life. But then again, I guess this is fate. Fate brings people together,when they are meant to be. I can feel that I am getting used to this life. Ryan may be a monster but he's my monster and I didn't want anything bad to h

“Wake up princess” Ryan stepped in “Your training is today”“Training?” I asked lifting up a brow. I couldn't remember us having any conversation about the topic Ryan stood near the foot of the bed, arms folded across his broad chest.“Yes,” he said calmly “You need to learn how to fight.”I blinked at him.“Fight?”He nodded“We can't have you ending up dead now…Can we?”. He scoffed. I was shocked by how normal he looked even though he had been injured just a few days ago but now he looked hale and heartyHe took off his shirt and pants and I squealed. I covered my eyes immediately “Get dressed” I yelled I peeked through my fingers and saw the look on his face. .I wanted to slap the smirk off his face but I managed to stop myself I looked the other way and got up from the bed. I walked towards the bathroom. I started by splashing cold water on my face. Then I brushed my teeth and washed my body. When I finished, I stepped back into the bedroom and headed toward the closet.

AURORA POVRyan parked the car in front of a huge mansion. The parking lot was filled with expensive cars — SUVs, limos, and sports cars. It looked more like a celebrity event than a family gathering. Five bodyguards in black suits stood in front, with earpieces strapped to their ears. Everything about the Dmitris was always too much.Somehow I had known that whatever we were going to do here was going to be a disaster. When Ryan had told me we were invited earlier, I knew it was probably a bad idea but I had agreed to come anyway. Part of me was curious and wanted an excuse to flaunt the cocktail dress Ryan had bought for me a few weeks ago. Ryan stepped out of the car and walked around to my side. He opened the door and held out his hand. I placed my hand in his and stepped out.His fingers wrapped around mine. I loved the feeling more than I wanted to admit “You look stunning,” he saidI looked up at him. Heat flooded my cheeks “Thank you,” I said calmly.We walked towards the

AURORA POV I lifted my head. I hadn't been alone in the room. Then I stood up and turned away. Suddenly, I saw a woman sitting on a chair. She had been there the whole time. She had been watching me from the corner of the room. My heart pounded in my chest. I had seen her face before in some of the pictures I had seen in Ryan's house. My stomach tightened. It was Ryan’s mother;Helen Dmitri.“Beautiful, isn’t it?” she saidMy heart skipped “I’m sorry about the picture,” “It slipped,” I said Helen stood up from her chair. She didn't answer me at first. She just stared at the broken photograph on the floor. Then her eyes moved slowly to me. She walked closer and knelt beside the broken frame. Her fingers brushed over the shards of glass as if they didn’t bother her.“Non dovresti toccare le cose che appartengono a lui,” disse.” She said “You shouldn’t touch things that belong to him,” My brows furrowed “I didn't mean to ,it was an accident.”“This room is full of pictures of
