Chapter FortyWith those thoughts, Ethan’s heart became even harder.“Aurora Hale,” he smirked, “ You should have thought of all these before tricking my grandfather into making me marry you.” He laughed devilishly, “Do you think you can just walk away Scot free?! I’m not done dealing with you!”“Well, tough shit! I’m out already.” Aurora reiterated, straightening her spine.She ignored his other statement.She was already tired of saying she never tricked the old Chairman Langford, that’s her actually been the one to make the arrangement for her in return for her help but she would not be explaining herself now.Fuck Ethan and the explanation.“Call me again, or come anywhere near me, and I swear to God, I’ll have a restraining order on you!” She swore at him instead.Ethan laughed.It was not a nice laugh.It was a sound that grated her ears and made her angrier.Funny how she’d always wanted to hear him laugh, or see him smile at her. She thought it would be heaven.But now, it gra

Chapter Forty-OneAurora made her way to the store, as soon as she left the lab. She’d definitely not had time to shop for food items in her place, and did not have many of the appropriate items in her kitchen to make the honey muffins.As soon as she’d returned to the lab, she’d been extremely busy and had not had time to even cook or focus on her kitchen.She had kept promising herself that she would set out time for that, but for now, she was content with eating out, and getting takeouts.As she walked around the store, she contemplated buying the honey muffins and just sending them over to the Langford Mansion.“That just defeats the purpose of the whole thing.” She muttered to herself, “But who’s to say she will even eat the ones I make or like them as well?” She shook her head in annoyance, an acrid taste of displeasure filling her mouth, “This will be the last time I’m doing this shit.”Riley had for a long time now, preferred Celeste’s food and treats, that she most times did

Chapter Forty-ThreeThe Mall was bustling with activities at this time of the year.Lights spilled from every surface that she glanced at; glass storefronts, polished tiles, mirrored displays. There were a lot of voices which overlapped with each other, laughter boomed from men, women and kids alike, and the movement blurred as people came and went.Aurora walked on, her steps brisk, stewing in annoyance at her decision to walk further into the mall instead of just walking out of it.The Mall was too bright for the kind of mood she was in right now.That damn Ethan Langford!And Riley…How could Riley say that?Aurora’s hands were shaking as she gripped the plastic bag with the ingredients for the honey muffins.She’d known in her heart of hearts, that something like this would happen.And now it did.So why on earth was she still hurt about her child?She no longer wondered if Riley was just being influenced by her father and Celeste’s scheming.The child was doing this of her own v

Chapter Forty-Four“How dare you?!” The collected woman uttered, her calm and collected self falling apart, “Do you know who I am?!”“You’d better have your little brat apologize!” The aggressive woman put in, pointing a shaky finger aggressively in Aurora’s face, “Or else I’m calling the cops!”“Fine! Call them!” Aurora retorted, arching an eyebrow at the woman, “Call the cops. We will have the check the CCTV cameras as well.”As she spoke, she pointed upwards towards the camera angled directly above them. The red light blinking seemed like a scrutinizing eye, as though mocking them.The other three women blinked in surprise, then turned to stare at each other. They had not noticed the CCTV cameras after all.However, they did not care.They trusted their kids wholeheartedly and was sure that the copper haired child was fully in the wrong. So they held their head high and uttered, “Yes, exactly! We will call the cops and the evidence will be laid perfectly before your eyes!”“Yes!” T

Chapter Forty-SixCaspian raised an eyebrow at that statement.“She saved you?” He asked, looking from the little girl to Aurora.“Yes, from the mean girls.” Shannon uttered once more.Caspian expression did not change but Aurora noticed the way sharp glint in his eyes at that statement. He reached out and stroked Shanon’s hair off her forehead.“Precious, what mean girls?” He asked, an underlying iciness in his tone, “Did someone bother you?”The child shook her head, “Not really,” she answered, “it doesn’t matter. It only matters if I let them bother me.” She turned to smile at Aurora, “That’s what Aurora says.”Caspian glanced at Aurora, and she gave him a tentative smile.“Why don’t we let Shannon finish her ice cream, then we can all leave together?” She uttered, “It’s getting late.”Caspian’s eyes held hers for a few seconds longer. He understood that Aurora did not want to relay everything that happened in front of the child.She would tell him everything when they were alone.
