(Aurora’s POV)The sun was setting outside, casting a warm glow through the grand windows of the Skylar mansion. I stepped out of my room, stretching my limbs after hours spent curled up with a book. The quietness of the house was almost deafening. I hadn’t seen papa or my husbands after the morning encounter with Owen and the solitude was beginning to feel heavy.I made my way to the living room. As I entered, my steps faltered. Ian was sitting on the large couch, his eyes glued to the TV screen, engrossed in a football match. The energy of the game was evident in his posture, leaned slightly forward, hands resting on his knees, a faint expression of excitement on his face.I hesitated, unsure whether to retreat or announce my presence.

His focus was on his phone, scrolling through emails and messages, his expression stern as always.Ian lounged on the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table, completely absorbed in a game on his tablet. His relaxed posture and occasional smirk hinted at his competitive streak, even in a virtual world.Asher, standing by the large window, was engaged in a phone call. He was discussing his shoot schedule with his manager.Ryan sat at the far end of the couch, typing away on his laptop. His furrowed brows an
