All Chapters of Heiress Rebound, Back to My Billions: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

AURORA“You start work this morning.”I was seated at the breakfast table.Alexander had gone all out. There were assorted kinds of bread and scones on the table. A big bowl of soup, scrambled and fried eggs, and a basket of fruit.“Please don't tell me that is the reason you made all of this." I gestured to the table with a forced smile.He scratched the back of his neck like a little child, avoiding my gaze. I couldn't stop the improper thoughts in my mind from wanting to skip work, pounce on him, and stay in bed all day.I forcefully dragged my eyes away from him back to the full table.“I didn't know what exactly you liked…”“So you made them all?” My voice was accompanied by a shaky gasp.“Just tell me what you like. I will stick to it from now on.”“You don't have to make breakfast for me,” I said, overwhelmed by the choice. I was not sure what to eat first.He reached across and placed a toasted bread on my plate, scooping some scrambled eggs by the side. It was almost as if he

AURORAI stared at Chloe, her lips opening and closing like a fish out of water. She kept on pointing, her head snapping between us.“What are you doing in Aurora's apartment?” she finally said.“Aurora's apartment?” Alexander raised a brow in confusion. “This is our place…you didn't tell her?” he set his gaze on me.I shifted on the floor and tried to stand up. “I mean, I hadn't gotten around to telling her yet.”“Gotten around to telling me? To tell me what?” She got up and moved closer to her brother. “What are you two hiding from me? What are you two doing together? What is…”I clamped my hand over her mouth to stop her rambling. I took a deep breath. “Don't scream.” She nodded once.“Your brother and I are married.”She froze for a second. Her entire body going limp. I was sure she had fainted. She jumped out of my hand and pointed at my face, her entire cheeks flushed with embarrassment.“What… You… How… When… How did this happen?” she stammered, shuffling on her feet.“I didn't

AURORAI stood in front of the Sterling building.The magnificent building sent a shiver down my spine.I couldn't believe that for three years I had given up my status to be the lackey of one of the worst men on earth.I was just getting settled at my desk when my phone rang.It was an unknown number.I picked up without thinking twice.“Aurora.”Irritation ran down my spine at the sound of the voice.“Julian,” I breathed out. “What do you want?”“Don't play dumb. You know why I am calling you.”“And to what bad luck do I owe the displeasure?” I snarked at him.“Have you prepared everything?”“You know I wouldn't have reached out if I didn't have to get the gifts back.”A pause.He continued rambling.“I have given you enough time to get them back to me. Unless you want to keep them.”Silence.“I mean, that is understandable. A poor student like you has probably never seen such luxury gifts.”I gagged.Only he would think the things he bought were some kind of treasure.I let out a s

JULIANI watched Aurora walk out of the cafe.My pulse was racing, my heart beating in my chest.I couldn't believe that Aurora was bold enough to embarrass me like that in front of everyone else.As we walked out of the cafe, people still had their phones pointed at us, filming and making comments.“He is such a broke loser. Making a woman pay for all of that for him,” one woman pretended to murmur, but she was trying to make sure I heard her.I turned to her, and she pressed her lips into a thin line and looked away. I was ready to march forward and tell her that it was not true, but Victoria pulled me back and shook her head. Already the videos were circulating on the internet. People were making comments on the videos. I knew that in hours many more people would know about it. “I can't believe that bitch.”I slammed the steering wheel as we both sat in the car.“She embarrassed me so much and even extorted so much from me.”Anger was racing through my pulse, and the veins in my

AURORAFinding everything Garrick had done in the company was not as hard as I thought it would be.I had first thought about going to Alexander for help, but after checking a few things by myself, I found evidence of his embezzlement and fraud within the company.“He is even dirtier than I imagined,” I whispered when the multiple reports of him harassing other female coworkers showed up in my email.Somehow those reports got suppressed before they could even get to the table of HR. How much pull did this man have to run wild like this?My phone rang on the table. My heart began to beat faster when the name on the screen flashed. I held my breath and reached, sliding my finger over the screen.“Aurora,” Catherine’s cold voice came through the phone.“Hello, Mother,” I replied, still holding my breath, unsure why she called me.“Come to the Sterling estate now.”“Why should I—” She ended the call before I could say anything more. I pulled the phone from my ear, stared at it as I blinke
