Chapter TwoThat evening, Aurora walked into the grand hall of the Oriental Hotel holding a bouquet of brilliant red roses.She pushed tendrils of her brown hair out of her eyes calmly, as her eyes scanned the large and very filled hall.The hall was well lit with bright chandeliers which hung overhead and cast their bright glows on the people below.This was the award ceremony for the most prestigious ballet school in all of Crestmont. This session was for the under-5 students, which Riley was a part of.Riley was a brilliant dancer, graceful and lithe and it was no surprise when she won the “Little Grace Trophy,” the third time in three years.Although Riley had been distant for the past few months, and broke Aurora’s heart continuously, Aurora was still extremely proud of her.Ethan had left with Riley earlier, and from her position at the back of the crowd, she could not see any of them.She was sure they were seated at the very front and Ethan was a guest of honor.Like it had al

Chapter FourCeleste turned towards Ethan at that moment, her doe eyes as bright as the stars.“This is really so beautiful, Ethan.” She uttered, holding the necklace up, “Can you help me put it on? I want to see how it looks like.”Ethan got up without a word, taking the jewelry box from her hands. Celeste turned in her chair, sweeping her long, dark hair to the side of her neck to allow Ethan gain access. She looked back at the shadows once more, her malicious gaze on Aurora’s.Celeste was wearing a beautiful off-shoulder dress and when Ethan placed the necklace around her neck, she reached up and held his hand, keeping it in place on her bare shoulders.Ethan leaned down at that moment so she could say in his ear, “Thank you.”He smiled, a flash of dashing dentition, his thumbs drawing lazy circles around her smooth skin. His face was so close to Celeste’s that their lips, even their eye lashes were almost touching.Riley clapped happily, “Daddy and Celeste look so happy good toge

Chapter SixAurora’s froze underneath him and her eyes widened in alarm for a second, as the realization of what he’d just said crashed through her.Shit!He was right.Six years ago, when she’d newly married Ethan, he’d called her into on his study with all the formality of a businessman calling on his associate.“Take this.” Ethan had said coldly, handing her a file as soon as she’d walked in. He sat behind his desk, looking as dashing as ever but the eyes he regarded her with were cold and soulless.Aurora dragged her thoughts away from his expression, and collected the file from him.She read the first line and blinked in astonishment.“Our marriage…rules?” She asked, her voice soft with uncertainty.“No.” Ethan leaned forward, his elbows in the mahogany desk in front of him, He glared up at Aurora, “They are just for you. You’re to agree with everyone of them if you wish to stay here. Go through them to see what it’s about. If you don’t like them, it’s fine. You can leave.”Auror

Chapter EightEthan didn’t come home that night.He had spent the whole night at Celeste’s place, and Aurora knew this because Celeste did not fail to keep her updated through out the night.Aurora woke up the next morning to find that she’d received a ton of messages from Celeste during the night. “What the hell?” She scoffed in disbelief as she opened the messages.Many of them were pictures.One was of Ethan making dinner for Celeste. He looked tall and dashing in the kitchen, with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms as he stirred something over the fire.Celeste: Ethan and I grew up together and he has never for once let me suffer. I specifically asked for this blue prawn porridge, and he made it for me himself even though it’s so late. Tell me, Aurora, does Ethan even know your favorite food?Aurora stared at the message, indifference and irritation etched on her features.Of course, Ethan knew nothing of her diet or favorite foods. Infact, when they had gotten married, she’d

Chapter TenAurora stepped calmly into the cafe where Caspian had asked to meet. She hesitated at the door, looking round at the area with eyebrows raised slightly in astonishment.The Cafe didn’t look like a Cafe. With its floor to ceiling glass walls which wrapped the entire place, reflecting the city skylines in soft gold lights, it looked more like power disguised in comfort.There were well dressed customers at the marble tables, having low conversations in muted tones, with some tables actually having papers strewn across them.This was a kind of place where deals were made quietly and money didn’t need to announce itself.Even the air smelled expensive - like roasted coffee and polished woods, something subtle and refined that clung to her senses.At that moment, she caught sight of him.He was here. Of course he was.Aurora’s lips stretched into a soft smile as she took note of this.Six years hadn’t changed that part of him — always early, always composed, always in control
