ALEXANDERI drove away, watching Aurora's silhouette in the rearview mirror until it blended into the background.I didn't want to leave, not when I knew she needed comfort more than ever.My phone rang again. It was my assistant, Cole. I answered and placed the phone next to my ear.“This better be important,” I almost snapped at him.He cleared his throat. “I'm sorry, Mr. Vance, but I received a message from your mother. She said she sent over a new list of blind-date candidates, and you…”“Did you send her my marriage certificate?” I cut him off.“I did.” He sighed as if he were defeated. “She said it was a crime to forge state documents and that if you continued to lie, she would be forced to report your crimes to the police.”I sucked in a sharp breath. My mother had become paranoid. She feared that I was never going to get married, so she kept resorting to these dirty tricks.“Boss…” Cole's shaky voice cut through my thoughts. “What should I do?”“Nothing.”“But, boss…”“I will

AURORABy the time I got to work, I had received confirmation that V Collective had received my designs. The unease in my chest slowly dissipated.If I was going to give Alexander something to work with, I had to feel Melody out. I didn't stop by my office. Instead, I went straight to hers.When she was alone with me, she always let her mask slip and revealed her true self. Maybe if I caught her in a good mood, she might give me enough to build a case against her.Her office was empty when I pushed the door open. The faint scent of jasmine hit my nose from the scented candle burning beside her desk. I closed the door and called Catherine's office.Just as I'd expected, she was there, playing house. I entered the office, ignoring the assistant who was trying to stop me.Catherine was tucking Melody's hair behind her ear and praising her for something when I stepped inside.They both frowned. It wasn't intentional, but their expressions lingered long enough to feel like a knife driven s

AURORAHandling Catherine was easy.All I had to tell her was that I was worried the same director would try to sabotage the work again. She frowned as though she didn't understand, but she gave in. She even offered to provide additional security, which I turned down.I had no reason to doubt her. After all, she had shown time and time again that Sterling Group was her top priority. I didn't think she would ruin it for Melody.Over the next week, I barely ran into Melody. Maybe once, in the hallway, when she was holding a coffee. She looked at me as though I were her enemy, then smiled sweetly and asked, “How is the project coming along?”I patted her arm and shrugged as though it meant nothing.“Very well,” I murmured. “I can't wait for it to be displayed at the V Collective bid.”She leaned in and whispered, “Make sure it's good. After all, Sterling Group can't afford to fail.”It sounded harmless, as though she were cheering me on, but I heard the underlying message. It was a silen

ALEXANDERI reached out and ruffled Aurora's hair. I adjusted her so she was leaning comfortably against the seat before driving us home.I carried her inside. She was sleeping soundly. I tucked her into bed. She ground her teeth and scratched her neck before kicking free of the blanket and murmuring in her sleep.“Alexander… Handsome.”I couldn't help the way my lips curved at the sound of that. She might not love me fully yet, but at least she thought I was handsome. That was a good place to start.I didn't mind if she was with me just for my body. At least she was with me.I sat beside her in silence. She moved again in bed, leaning into my side. She wrapped her arm around my waist and rested her head on my lap. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore what her touch did to me.She moved her mouth again, her eyes firmly closed. I gently eased her away from me, settled her back in bed, and covered her up before rushing to the bathroom.I stood under the cold shower, allowing the water to

AURORAI looked up at the door. Jason was standing in the doorway, his body still outside, with only his head poking through.“Your husband is here to pick you up.”A smile crept onto my face before I could stop it.After the awkwardness with Alexander this morning, he had sent me a text saying he would pick me up for dinner because I still owed him a date.I didn't have an excuse to get out of it, so I agreed.I bit my bottom lip and looked down at my design. I couldn't handle Jason's teasing if he saw how hard I was blushing.“Don't tell me you're blushing,” he drawled.I shot him a glare from the doorway and got up. I took my coat and bag from the hanger and made my way to the door.I brushed past him and stepped outside.“Are you just going to leave?” he asked.I stopped and turned to him with a nod.“Of course. You said my husband was waiting for me.”“Since when did you become such a lover girl?”I shrugged. “I've always been a lover girl.”This time, it was just for a different
