CHAPTER ONE

Aurora“From now on, she will be staying with us.”The words didn’t feel real. Damien was holding the hands of a woman lovingly as they both stared at me like I was the stranger in the house.She was decked in a breathtakingly sexy silk dress, its neckline daringly low and its back nearly nonexistent.“What are you saying Damien?”I muttered under my breath, suddenly losing the strength to speak.He made his way inside, ignoring my question. She sauntered past me, holding his hands like she was declaring her ownership, in a way I never was able to.“I expected a warmer welcome.”She gestured to the sofa, her lips curving in a condescending smile when I shook my head in disbelief.“Oh, of course, Damien hadn’t told you. I am his first love.”I stared at her, stricken. I knew her. Genevieve. The woman he never stopped talking about.Wiping my sweaty hands on my apron, I suddenly became self conscious. I probably smelled like dinner and looked as tired as I felt on the inside. Maybe this

CHAPTER TWO

Aurora (18 months later)When I opened my eyes, everything felt… wrong.The world felt slow and heavy like I had been asleep for too long. A dull headache throbbed behind my eyes as I blinked, trying to focus.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, white and just too bright.Beep… beep… beep…The sound was sharp and annoying.It filled the room like it was mocking me, interrupted by a soft whimper.I turned my head slightly in the direction of the sound and came face to face with the sight of a man standing by the side of the room, holding a small child wrapped in soft cloth.He was feeding the baby carefully, like he had done it a hundred times before.I frowned, feeling very confused and disoriented.“What…” My voice came out as dry as paper. “What is going on?”The man froze before slowly turning to look at me. Shock filled his face.“You’re awake.” he breathed.Before I could ask anything else, the doctors rushed in, checking me and probing for questions“Her vitals are stable!”“She’s

CHAPTER THREE

AuroraI had nowhere to go. I realized that long before I was discharged from the hospital.I was practically homeless as I had no husband, or home to call my own. I could go back to my parent’s but it would just be an extra financial burden on them especially with my baby.I held him closer as I stepped out of the hospital, the sun too bright against my eyes.The world had moved on without me. Everything felt unfamiliar, odd, and cold.“Aurora.”I turned at the sound of my name. It was the stranger.The man who had been there when I woke up. The one who had been taking care of my baby like he belonged to him. Leon.He walked toward me, calmly, like he had all the time in the world.“Where do you plan to go from here?” he asked simply.I swallowed, avoiding his eyes out of embarrassment.“I’ll figure something out.”“You don’t have to.” His gaze strayed to the baby in my arms, then back to me.“Come with me.”I hesitated. I didn’t know him at all. But he had been the one to save me and

DAMIEN“Sir, the files have been sent to your inbox.” I turned at the sound of my assistant’s voice and incline my head, letting her know that I got the message. Leila gives me a worried smile and strides out.It’s no secret that I’ve been a raging asshole for the past year. The last few months have cooled off my anger – ever since my father returned back from his honeymoon.My assistant had taken the brunt of it, before getting fed up one night a few weeks back and threatening to leave me – if I don’t get my act right.Easy to say, I was not eager to run off my forty six year old assistant and have her cry to her husband – who was a former heavy weight boxer.Yeah, not an ideal situation to walk myself into. I finally let go of the morose cloud hanging over me and go to my desk, willing my mind to focus on my work.The email that Leila dropped in my inbox was staring back at me and I hesitated at the subject line before finally clicking into it.“Fuck no.” I recoiled deeper into my s

CHAPTER FIVE

AuroraThey say you can never run away from your past no matter what. But I was determined to leave mine behind.Becoming a boss lady in the fashion industry was easier said than done, as I was quickly coming to realize.The first few years, I had worked nonstop, applying to fashion houses, sending out ideas to other companies for collaboration.But my maiden name and photos of me that were a far cry from her elegant self, had made it harder to climb to the top. The top I now sat on.The top that now threatened to fall.I adjusted my blazer as I walked through the front desk, my heels clicking softly against the floor.Work had been the only thing keeping me steady. Keeping me from thinking too much.“Ma’am,” the receptionist called out quickly, standing up.“You have a visitor waiting for you.”I paused.“A visitor?” I frowned impatiently. “Did they make an appointment?”“No, ma’am. But he said it was urgent.”Urgencies were not good for business and something about that didn’t sit ri
