All Chapters of My Dad's Best Friend Is My Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aurora looked her father in the eye.She was unable to breathe for some seconds.Richard's reply was never more silent than this."Dad..."Her voice trembled.Who is my true father?Richard turned his head towards Alexander.Then at the picture in his hand.Finally, his eyes returned to Aurora."I'm sorry."Aurora's heart sank.“Never say 'sorry".”"Just tell me."Richard closed his eyes.I said to your mother I'd look after you."Since I was born I have been protected."From what?"Richard's jaw tightened."From the truth."Aurora stepped closer.Come tell me the truth then!Alexander stood by her side, his face grim."Richard.""Enough."Richard took a step back at Alexander's tone.“It's been over two decades that you have been hiding this secret.”“Whatever you are going to say, to her.”"Tell her everything."Richard studied his daughter.Your biological father is:Suddenly, the mansion shook, and there was an explosion.BOOM!The ceiling shook and Aurora screamed.The dust falls

The alarm was blaring through the underground passage.The stone walls were streaked with red emergency lights.Alexander's hand was in Aurora's hands.What was he talking about?Alexander didn't answer.His gaze was focused on the moathed doors in front of him.Damian looked to his soldiers."There's another exit."Richard shook his head, annoyed.The eastern passage was closed years ago.We'll make another one we say.Damian's brother took a gun out from under his jacket.Alexander quickly placed himself in front of Aurora."I'll get her out."Damian stared at him.These tunnels you don't know."I don't need to."“But I am aware what's important.”Aurora glared at him."And what's that?"Alexander gazed down at her."You."Her heart skipped.Despite all they have learned...Despite the secrets and betrayals...He didn't change his mind.Damian stood and listened to them.For the first time, something like an approval appeared on his face.Don't let her out of your sight.The passage

Three days later, Aurora was gazing out the window of Kingsley's penthouse at Manhattan.The city was exactly as it had been.The traffic of cars passed through the streets.The streets were thronged with foot traffic.The afternoon sun lit up the buildings.Her life had taken a turn for the worse, however.The Phoenix Circle had been revealed.Marcus Hale was under Federal Detention.Her biological father, Mr Damian Ashford, was being questioned.Then there's somewhere out there...Her grandmother was there.Aurora folded her arms.All that I'd learned before was false.Alexander was standing behind her."Not everything."She turned."What wasn't?"He walked toward her slowly.“Your love for your father”Aurora's eyes softened."And yours?"Alexander came up to her.I have always loved you, always, I say.Her heart skipped.But you left me out of all that," But you forgot me."I did."He stretched out a hand to his.He stretched out a hand for her.But my heart didn't, though.Aurora

The power went down.Aurora’s breath caught.The hospital room was plunged into darkness.Next, there was the sound of footsteps.Slow.Measured.Getting closer.Alexander rushed off and took Aurora behind him.“Stay close.”“I’m here.”Her grandmother was standing still by the window.But she was not frightened.That really terrified Aurora!“Grandmother…”“Don’t speak.”Outside the door, the footsteps came to a halt.Under it there was a shadow.Then the handle slowly turned.Alexander’s body tensed.The door opened.A woman came into the building.She was in a long black coat with her dark hair tied back behind her shoulders.She looked elegant.Calm.Almost harmless.Until she met her face at Aurora.Her heart stopped.She had been familiar with that face.In the photograph.By her mother's side, who is pregnant.“You…”The woman smiled.“Hello, Aurora.”Alexander was quickly in front of her.“Who are you?”The woman looked at him.“Still protecting her.”She gave a quiet laugh.“

Aurora's gaze was fixed on the message and the words began to fade from sight.TAKE THE SILVER KEY.She gripped her cell phone with her hands.“She whispered, 'They know about the key.Alexander glanced at her.“Then we ensure that they don't get it.”Aurora nodded her head.“They have my mother.”“Don't know if it's your mum.”“But you did see the necklace.”“I saw it.”That's why I must go,” she said.Alexander didn't say anything for a while.This was an expression he had seen in her eyes before.She had already made up her mind.For all her years, Aurora had been asking questions about the woman who gave birth to her. Twenty-four years later, there might have been a chance that Emily was still alive.She could not turn a blind eye to it.Alexander took his cellphone out of his jacket.Alexander pulled his phone out of his jacket.“Ethan.”“Yes?”Prepare for two cars.”Aurora glared at him.I told him that I was going by myself.”Alexander replied softly, “You're on your own.” “You’
