All Chapters of The CEO'S Forgotten Promise : Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Aurora Salvatore “Do you bring all the girls here?” I asked softly, half teasing but mostly serious as I looked up at him. Charlie burst out laughing, the sound rich and genuine as it echoed across the quiet spring. He shook his head, still smiling at first, but then his face slowly turned serious. He studied me for a long moment, his dark eyes searching mine like he was trying to read every thought in my head. “What do you really know about me, Aurora?” he asked quietly. “What have you heard? Because as far as I know, I’ve never hung out with girls the way people probably think. Sure, they follow me around at events and parties, but that’s different. That’s not me choosing them.” I bit my lower lip gently, feeling nervous under his intense stare. My heart was beating faster as I looked straight into his eyes. “Is that true?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “You’ve never really dated anyone?” Charlie nodded slowly. “Yes, it’s true. I dated one girl a long time ago, b

Aurora Salvatore “Elly, why would you do that?” I asked, my voice rising as I stood frozen on the front steps. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, the leftover warmth from Charlie’s kiss completely gone now.Eliana leaned against the doorframe, her pink-streaked hair falling messily over one shoulder. She didn’t even look sorry. “Because someone has to be honest with Mom and Dad,” she shot back, her tone sharp and defensive. “You were out all day with him, Aurora. They called worried sick, asking where you were, and I wasn’t going to lie for you. Not after everything.”I stepped inside, closing the heavy front door behind me with a soft click that felt way too loud in the quiet mansion. My heart was pounding again, but this time it wasn’t from excitement. It was pure frustration mixed with a heavy dose of guilt. “You didn’t have to tell them I’m dating him! I wasn’t even sure what this was yet. Now they’re going to freak out before I can even figure things out myself.”Eliana f

Eliana. S. McCarthy “I can’t let Aurora have him. Not like this. Not after everything I’ve done to get his attention,” I muttered, pacing back and forth across my bedroom carpet. My bare feet sank into the soft fibers with every angry step. The mansion felt too quiet tonight, and that only made my blood boil hotter. Charlie Ford was supposed to end up with me. I had spent months smiling at him, wearing the shortest dresses, laughing at his jokes even when they weren’t funny. And then my sister ..my quiet, pathetic sister.. shows up once and suddenly she’s the one getting flowers and special treatment? I stopped in front of the full-length mirror and glared at my reflection. My pink-streaked hair was tousled, my eyes sharp with frustration. “No. This ends now.” I grabbed my phone and called Mom on video. The second she answered, I softened my face, letting my shoulders slump like the weight of the world was on them. “Mom,” I said, my voice trembling just enough. “I’m sorry to

Eliana's pov “Scorpion better not screw this up,” I said out loud as I slid into the driver’s seat of my Lamborghini, slamming the door harder than necessary. The leather felt cool against my bare thighs. I gripped the steering wheel with both hands for a second, staring straight ahead into the dark parking lot. A slow, satisfied smile spread across my face. I had no doubts about him. That man was ruthless, and with the amount of money I threw at him, he had every reason to deliver exactly what I wanted. Aurora would fall for his innocent act, trust him completely, and then… well, she would get exactly what she deserved. I felt zero mercy. Not even a tiny bit. She had taken Charlie from me. She had always been the favorite, the good girl, the one everyone protected. Now it was my turn to watch her world crumble. I started the engine, the powerful rumble vibrating through the car. “Enjoy your last few peaceful days, sis,” I whispered, reversing out of the parking spot. As I pul

Aurora’s POV I woke up with a strange, uneasy feeling the next morning, like someone had been watching me while I slept. I figured it's the horror movies Sharon had been recommending I watch lately. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes and looking around my room. Everything seemed normal except for the faint scent of booze and cologne that didn't belong to me... my phone was still charging on the nightstand, the bouquet from Charlie was on my dresser, and the dress hung neatly in my closet. But I couldn’t shake the weird feeling. “Maybe I’m just paranoid because of everything that’s happening,” I whispered to myself, swinging my legs out of bed. I picked up my phone and smiled when I saw a good morning message from Charlie.I felt my tummy flatter with butterflies I didn't know existed. I basically grinned like an idiot. Before I could reply, another notification popped up, it was from the new guy I met at the bookstore last week...We shared so much in common and he seemed
