Disappointment and unexpected encounter

Aurelia,“I have handled the papers for the Windsor shares and the houses. Are you sure you want to keep them aside from your actual assets?” Mr. Darren asked as I told him not to list them among my assets.For a moment my fingers tightened faintly over the folder resting on my lap, the crisp paper bending beneath the pressure before I forced my hand to relax. I needed to understand what in the world had happened that they had once given me their properties so freely and then vanished as if they had never been a part of my life.“Yes. And you didn’t find them? Where did they go? Why?” I asked, my voice calm, though my gaze searched his face carefully.“Well, My Lady. It is none of your business anymore. They are adults with their own choices. I do not want you to get involved in it.”A small crease appeared between my brows as I leaned back against the seat, studying him.“Why? I do not understand what happened. Whenever I mention it, Mom, Butler Uncle, or you act as if Windsor never

Except you, everything was forgotten

Aurelia,“Do not be silly, Mom.” Justin laughed lightly, the sound casual and careless. “I do not want to get married. I want to travel—”Mrs. Windsor abruptly froze.Her body went rigid as if someone had pulled an invisible string through her spine. Her gaze landed on me, horror flooding her eyes so suddenly that it made my stomach twist.For a brief second something like panic flashed across her face before she quickly turned toward Justin.“How about we head home first? Mom will make you—”“Mrs. Windsor!” I called out before I could control myself. My voice came out sharper than I intended. I felt my chest tightening, my fingers curling instinctively against the edge of the table.“Aurelia?” Justin’s voice came with quiet confusion as his eyes settled on me. His brows knit slightly, his gaze narrowing as if he were trying to reach for a distant memory that kept slipping through his fingers. “She looks like that girl from my dream, Mom.”“No. She does not.” Mrs. Windsor snapped so s

Truth that comes with heartache

Aurelia,The day I lost my dad, I thought my world had turned upside down. The day Justin made me sign the divorce papers, I thought, yes, I lost again. However, Jasper was there constantly. He knew what I needed at that time. He would make me laugh, he would guess my favorite things, and he would show up with ice cream like it was the simplest solution to the world’s worst pain.But now, for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about what if another blow came into my life. How many could a person take before something inside them simply… stopped?My fingers tightened around the edge of the chair without me noticing.How many times could a heart break before it refused to beat the same way again?"The day you two got divorced, Justin tried to kill himself in front of me!" Mrs. Windsor's voice cut through the air, making me snap out of my thoughts.Her words knocked the air out of my lungs. My head jerked up so fast my neck hurt."What? In front of you?""Yes. By the time I realized w

World where she was alone

My stomach dropped. My head started spinning, a dizzying rush that made the world tilt slightly beneath my feet. My ears started ringing so sharply that the sound pierced through my skull, high and relentless, until my body felt completely out of control. My fingers twitched helplessly at my sides, nails pressing into my palms."She said it to my face," Mrs Windsor continued quietly. A faint tremor flickered across her lips before she wiped her face with slow restraint, as though forcing herself to remain composed. "In front of my dying child.""She said she didn't regret choosing her best friend over a fourteen-year-old boy being assaulted."My stomach churned violently. A cold wave crept down my spine. My throat tightened as if invisible fingers were wrapped around it."She said thirteen-year-olds sleep around all the time. So what's wrong if it's with older women? She didn't care of my thirteen years old crying, begging to be let go. Your mother, Aurelia, the woman I invited over,

Notoriously hot

Aurelia,It was a small, cozy two-storey house with three bedrooms. Not even the cheapest asset that Windsor owned was that small. But it felt like home.Mrs. Windsor had made sure everything that was related to Justin was erased. Including me.I didn't know who to trust either. I checked the phone twice, my fingers tightening slightly around it. Jasper didn't call me at all. Not even a message. I knew the relationship was built on lies but I really thought it was what a relationship should be."Stay here tonight. I don't want you to get close to Justin anymore, Aurelia. I know that you didn't deserve anything but... I don't want my son to go back to the world where he was—"She didn't complete her words when she saw my knees, bruised and bleeding.Her eyes paused there for a moment. Her breath slowed.She took a deep breath and turned away, her jaw tightening slightly. "The option is still here. Let me warn you, Jasper isn't what you think he is. So is your mother.""I am sorry," I w

I am lost

Aurelia,My heart skipped a beat. I shifted slightly, staring at him, my throat tightening. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper."Well, what I meant is that my old self was in love with you.""What... What do you mean by that? You never loved me. You said. You didn't—; You don't remember—" My hands trembled slightly as I clutched the edge of the chair."Fair!" He chuckled softly, but there was a hint of awkwardness in the corner of his lips. "But a diary can't lie though!""Diary?" I whispered, my brows knitting together, confusion and disbelief mingling in my eyes."Yes. My mother forgot to get rid of the only thing that had everything about you. Maybe she found that this was the only thing where nothing looked wrong.""You wrote a diary of me?" My voice wavered, almost cracking, as I felt my chest tighten."My old self did. He was a bit confused, scared, and a bit of an idiot!" He gave a small, embarrassed shrug, his fingers fiddling slightly with the cuff o

I don't like you like he did

Aurelia, I woke up with a message on my phone. The headache had subsided significantly, but it was still there, throbbing faintly behind my temples. For a moment, while my mind was still foggy with sleep, I thought it might be Jasper who had called me. My fingers moved quickly to unlock the screen. But to my disappointment, it was the pilot, informing me that I had to leave as soon as possible. A faint heaviness settled in my chest. I slowly looked around the room, my gaze moving across the unfamiliar walls, the quiet furniture, the dim morning light seeping through the curtains. The silence of the house felt too real. It was not a dream. I was indeed in Justin's house. And everything that had happened last night was real. Jasper was the son of Jessica, not her driver. She hurt Justin. My mother was involved with everything. Dreadfully my life. I slowly pushed the blanket aside and stood up, steadying myself when a dull pulse of pain moved through my head. I used the bathr

The last thing she has lost

Aurelia,"Boss. I can explain!" Mr. Darren's voice shook the moment he realized that I knew everything."I do not have enough time to hear explanations. I only want to know one thing. Who gave you the permission to humiliate Windsor?"I sat behind my desk, my eyes as cold as ice as I stared at him. My head was already throbbing faintly, but the anger rising in my chest kept me upright.He hesitated before speaking. For the first time since I had known him, his usual composed demeanor faltered. His shoulders stiffened, and he looked almost like a man who had been caught red-handed."Mrs. Clinton firmly asked me to keep you away from anything related to Windsor," he muttered at last. "Since the Chairman's death and the divorce, you did not look like yourself. She asked me to keep you away from Windsor and instead help you grow closer to Jasper since he has been helping you move on."My jaw clenched tightly as I stared at him."You are saying that repeatedly humiliating the woman who is

I trust you

Justin, I held the cold diary I might have written about her, my fingers tightening slightly around its edges as the chill of the cover seeped into my skin, and stared at the small note stuck on the edge of the counter. The corner of it fluttered faintly under the slow spin of the ceiling fan, drawing my attention back again and again. The handwriting was neat, clear, and beautiful. My eyes traced each curve unconsciously before I reached for it, my fingertips brushing the paper with a strange hesitation. Her scent, sweet and floral, still lingered faintly in the air, and I found myself inhaling a little deeper than necessary, my chest rising before I could stop it. "She left?" I glanced at the door, my brows knitting together as a heavy sigh escaped from my chest, slower than I expected. "What a situation..." I placed the diary on the counter, though my hand lingered on it for a second longer, and decided to make myself a coffee when I noticed the pills still there. My fingers pa

Found her

Justin,It was almost afternoon when I arrived at the airport. The air of this unfamiliar city didn’t feel unfamiliar. It felt like I had returned somewhere I belonged, even though I had never been here before. I pulled the cap low over my forehead and adjusted the mask my mother insisted I wear. I didn’t want to be recognized. Somewhere, I was nobody. Elsewhere, I was a billionaire who could make headlines overnight. And yet… none of it made me excited.I grabbed a cab and let the city blur past the windows, stealing glances at my phone. I didn’t have Aurelia’s number, only her secretary’s, courtesy of Mom. I tapped the screen and called him. The line rang twice.“Hello?” The voice was distant, almost distracted, and I could hear faint murmurs behind it.“I would like to talk to CEO Aurelia Wren. Is she nearby?” My voice sounded steadier than I felt.Silence. Then a cautious, confused reply. “Mr. Windsor?”So he recognized me. I swallowed, trying not to let my frustration seep throu
