All Chapters of Teach me, Mr Blackwood: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Aurora’s POV“They’re here,” she whispered.The words pressed down on ys, almost suffocating me. I almost stumbled, nearly loosing my balance.This was actually happening right now. For a second, no one moved. Then the door at the far end opened.“Bring them.”My heart slammed into my chest. The same woman with the clipboard didn’t even raise her voice. She didn’t need to. The guards moved immediately, stepping forward, ushering us into motion before hesitation could take root.My heart started pounding frantically, my fingers digging into my palms as my legs moved. Each beat felt deliberate, like my body was bracing for something it already understood.We were led out of the room in a line.To be honest, I almost apllauded them.. almost. They didn’t need a chain or rope. But we did exacrly ewhat they wanted. Fear was more than enough for tbis. The hallway stretched longer this time, or maybe it only felt that way because every step forward felt like stepping deeper into some

_Aurora’s POV_My stomach twisted painfully as I stared at her. “Damien…” I whispered again, my voice shaking as I grabbed onto him, my fingers digging into his arm this time. “We can’t leave them… please…”The words rushed out of me before I could stop them, my gaze flicking between him and the stage.“I can’t—” My breath hitched. “I can’t just walk out of here and pretend this isn’t happening.”Because I had just stood there.I had just been in her place.And I knew exactly what she was feeling.The fear.The helplessness.The way it felt like no one was coming.My grip tightened. “Please…”For a second, I wasn’t even sure what I expected him to say.Damien had come for me. Not for everyone else.I knew that. I understood that.I didn’t know what he had planned, I didn’t even know how he knew I was here x But still—I couldn’t walk away.Not like this.Not after seeing it.Not after knowing what would happen to them if we did nothing.There was a brief pause.And then I felt his h

_Aurora’s POV_The alarm kept blaring through the building, loud enough to make my head pound as the red lights flickered overhead.Everywhere around us felt unstable now.The calm, controlled atmosphere this place once had was gone completely, replaced with panic, smoke, shouting, and the distant sound of gunfire echoing through the halls.And somehow, in the middle of all that chaos, I had become responsible for over twenty terrified girls staring at me like I knew what I was doing.Shit, I didn’t.I was terrified too.But there was no time for me to fall apart.Antonio moved toward the stairwell first, gun raised carefully as he glanced downward.“Clear,” he muttered after a second.“Move,” I said immediately, waving the girls forward.They started moving again, packed tightly together as we hurried down the stairs.Some were crying openly now.Others looked too shocked to even react properly anymore.The girl beside me—the one from the auction stage—stayed close enough that our sh

Aurora’s POV“You have no idea,” he said quietly, “what I was going to do if I didn’t find you.”The intensity in his voice wrapped around me so tightly that for a second I forgot how to breathe.I believed him completely.Not because he sounded angry or the way he had swooped in to save me. Not because of the blood on his clothes or the chaos we had just escaped from.But because Damien looked at me like losing me would have destroyed something inside him permanently.And that realization terrified me almost as much as it affected me.Because what did that even mean?My fingers tightened slightly against his shirt as I stared up at him, still trying to steady my breathing after that kiss, still trying to process the fact that he was actually here and alive and holding me like he never intended to let go again.Then the sound of sirens echoed into the parking garage.The moment shattered instantly.The girls around us reacted first, panic flashing across exhausted faces as several of

_Aurora’s POV_After a while, Damien pushed away from me, looking at my body. I could see his teeth clench harder as he stared at the bruises scattered an around my body. “I’m fine.” I lied, but I could tell he wasn’t buying it. His fingers brushed across the bruise close to my shoulder blade and I saw a lion of rage flash through his face. “For fucks sake.” He muttered under his breath.I swallowed hsrd as I tried to think of what to say. I just wanted this kight to end. “Damien..” I called his name when words were starting to fail me. My gaze dropped ro his lips befpre they dived back to his face.I needed some sort of distraction, something to take my mind off everything that happened. “He touched you.” Jt didnt come as a question. My chest tightened as I moved my gaze, looking at something else instead. The silence stretched between us for a second before his fingers tilted my chin gently back toward him.“Look at me.” He said softly. For a moment, I forced my gaze to rem
