Chapter 31

Lucien’s POVAn animalistic growl rumbled through my chest. Today was supposed to be the end.I thought I would walk out of that courtroom victorious, holding my daughter’s hand in mine.Instead, I walked out with blood in my mouth from biting back the urge to kill a man, standing beside Cynthia as he owns her. Adrian.I squeezed the clip until the edges dug into my skin, drawing a thin line of blood. 'You are looking cute.' Aurora's words echoed in my head. I couldn't shrug off the image of Cynthia leaving the daycare with Aurora in her arms. She hid my baby's face on her shoulder, not giving me even a single glance, as if my mere gaze could burn her child.My child.She held her as if she were her world, while Adrian kept his hand on the small of her back. Picking up the glass vase from the side table, I smashed it against the wall. That bastard stole my world! He is living my life! I will not let him live peacefully. No! As far as I know, he was nothing but a small busines

Chapter 32

Third Person POV Adrian arrived at his destination quite late due to the bad weather. Every time he sped up, the face of Cynthia flashed before his eyes, which made him slow down. By the time he reached the outskirts of the industrial district, the sun had already set. He pulled the hood of his jacket over his head and walked forward without hesitation. He knew this place by heart. He pushed open the rusted door of the warehouse. He knew the man he wanted to meet would be here. The air inside the warehouse was thick with the smell of expensive cigars. Adrian's shoes clicked against the floor as he confidently walked inside the place as if he owned the ground. Even the guards on the way didn't dare to stop him. They knew really well, who he was! He hasn't changed in all these years. When he reached the door of the lavish glass cabin built absurdly inside the rusted warehouse, he paused for a second. A guard came in between. "Sir... The boss is having a meeting" Adrian's col

Chapter 33

Cynthia’s POVI startled when the window howled outside pushing the doors of the window open. The curtains fluttered and cold air rushed into the room, carrying the scent of wet earth and thunderI leaned down and gently patted her back. “Shh… it’s okay, baby,” I whispered, brushing her hair away from her face. She mumbled something incoherent and hugged her stuffed toy tighter. I pulled the blanket up to her chin and stayed there for a moment before stepping out of bed. I walked to the window. It was raining heavily, the trees outside bent violently, and the weather was worsening every minute. I closed the windows firmly to keep the storm away from my child and let out a deep sigh. My gaze fell on the clock when I turned around. It was already 10 minutes last 12. Adrian promised to return by evening and he is still not home. I called him multiple times but he didn't pick up even once. Adrian wasn't careless. He always inform if he is late but today... Today he didn't even pic

Chapter 34

The silence after the storm was more terrifying and brooding than the storm itself. I have to leave Aurora at my friend's house for the night as I didn't have any other option. I can't leave her at home alone, nor can I take her to the hospital with me. The rain has stopped now, and the clouds have become silent but the storm in my life hasn't calmed down yet. I had a bad feeling when Adrian left home, but I didn't think it would lead to this. My knuckles turned white as I held the steering wheel tightly to stop myself from crying. It wasn't the time to break down. I need to reach the hospital as soon as possible. When the hospital building finally appeared in front of me, I didn’t even park properly. I left the car crooked and ran inside the hospital. My heart clenched at the sight of it as it reminded me of the days when Aurora was admitted to the hospital, fighting for her life. I stopped only for a second at the reception to ask where they had taken Adrian before running i

Chapter 35

“Where is AD, Mommy?” Aurora asked in her innocent voice. She looked up at me with those wide, trusting eyes. For her, I forced a smile and leaned down to touch her cheeks. My entire world was falling apart, and I had no choice but to be strong. I had never been this strong before. Once, I was my father’s princess, sheltered in his cocoon, until Lucien walked in and destroyed everything for me. He has always snatched away everything close to my heart, and this time, he is after Aurora. I don’t know what will happen today. I won't be able to survive another heartbreak. “He went out for some important work, baby,” I told her, trying to keep my voice steady. Her brows pulled together. “But he didn’t say bye to me.” The words stabbed deeper than she could ever know. He didn’t say bye to me, either. “But he told us to wait for him,” I added quickly, brushing her hair back. “He will come back soon.” He has to. He promised me. She tilted her head slightly. “Can I talk to h

Chapter 36

I kept staring at Lucien because I couldn’t believe what he had just said. The words echoed in my head. The money used for my daughter’s surgery was mine. For a second, I thought I misheard him. “What nonsense is this?” My lawyer shot to his feet, outrage lacing his voice. “What are you implying? Do you have any proof to support such a claim?” Lucien didn’t look at him. For him, it didn't even matter. “Hold your horses, little boy,” Lucien’s lawyer said lazily, adjusting his cuffs. “We don’t make claims without proof.” The calm arrogance in his tone made my stomach churn. He lifted another folder from the table and walked toward the judge with slow and deliberate steps. “My Lord,” he began smoothly, “this file contains the withdrawal records from Mr. Lucien Thorne Vaughn’s personal account.” The entire courtroom stiffened. “And,” he continued, placing another document beside it, “the deposit records for Aurora’s surgery.” My heart started pounding in my ears.

Chapter 37

Lucien's POV "Stop!" The word left my mouth before I could think. "Stop the car!" And the driver immediately applied the brake at my order. The cars of my security team that were following me also stopped behind. My fist clenched and unclenched as I breathed heavily, looking at the way that I left behind. Cynthia's cries echoed in my head. And when I should leave her there, and mind my own business, I found myself stepping out of the car.I walked back and the guards followed me. My feet stopped when I found her lying in the middle of the road on her stomach. One of her arms was stretched forward as if she was still trying to reach something… someone. “Damn it,” I muttered under my breath and immediately closed the distance in long strides. I dropped to my knees beside her.“Cynthia.”No response.My hand reached out to push the hair away from her face.Her skin was cold.There were dried tear tracks on her cheeks, cutting through the dust, dirt clung to her skin and there wa

Chapter 38

Cynthia's POVThe smell of antiseptic and the beep-beep of the heart monitor reached my senses before my eyes slowly opened. The lights blinded me for a second before I adjusted my vision and found myself on a hospital bed. Aurora.My baby. My fists clenched tightly around the sheet. Lucien took her! I inhaled and exhaled a sharp breath. I don't remember how I reached here but I clearly remember everything Lucien did to me.I just walked out of his life, without taking revenge for anything he did to my family in the past. I stayed silent when he ruined Adrian, I didn't react that way even when he destroyed my café. But not anymore! This time he has attacked my baby. My soul, my everything. I will not forgive him. Abruptly, I sat up, and a sharp pain shot through me. I looked down at my arm and found an IV drip taped to my skin. A I ripped the needle out of my arm. A thin line of blood trickled down my wrist but I didn’t care.I want my Aurora. Not even the doctors could save

Chapter 39

Cynthia's POV “Where is Aurora?” I demanded.He was standing in front of me with his palms shoved in his pants' pocket. He looked amused as he tilted his head. “Your Aurora?” he repeated slowly, tasting the words. “You mean my daughter, Cynthia. The one you’ve been hiding in the shadows like a stolen jewel.”My nails dug into my palms. I wasn't here to argue with him. I don't care what he thinks, says, or does. I am here for my daughter and I am not going back without her. I was looking like a mess but he was staring at me as if I were a doll. A doll for him to play and break. Inhaling a deep breath, I stepped ahead to find her. The mansion may be enormous but it can never be big enough to hide a child from her mother. I ran forward in search of my daughter but before I could take more than two steps, a strong hand wrapped around my waist and yanked me back.A gasp escaped my throat when my back collided with his chest. I could already feel his warm breath fanning my shoulder.

Chapter 40

"Mumma" Suddenly, the soft, chirping, and excited voice of Aurora filled the air. Something snapped between us and both of us stepped back at the same time. "Mumma" Aurora chirped again as she ran down the stairs, towards me. My body almost gave up, seeing her. I collapsed on my knees and spread my arms for her. My eyes stung with tears. "Mummmaaaa...." She cried as she ran directly into my arms and Lucien didn't dare to stop her. He can never! No force in this world can keep a child away from her mother. She will always choose me over anything or anyone. My heart felt at ease when I hugged her. I pulled back and peppered her entire face with kisses. "Mumma, I knew you would come to pick me. Keep your promise" I swallowed as I took her face in between my palms. "I can never leave you alone, Aurora. Never" She smiled at me which made me forget all my pain. "Come on, Aurora. It's bedtime" her nanny said from behind as she tried to take her away fr
