All Chapters of The Man Of My Dreams: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

But the morning sun came in through the flimsy drapes of Aurora Bennett's bedroom and it brought no heat.Her heart continued pounding from the dream, and she lay quietly, gazing at the ceiling.Aurora, "you will not have to weep forever.The man's voice echoed in her ears, soothing and calming, like he had just said it.She had longed for him for years.They sometimes walked through endless flower fields.At times they sat under a big oak tree, watching a quiet lake.At other times, they just looked at the stars together, quietly.She could never see his face quite clearly.But each of her dreams left her with the same strong sense of security.He was always an outsider.Until last night.He had spoken her name to her last night.Slowly, Aurora sat up, with her hand on her chest.Who was there in the empty room, she whispered.“Aahh!” was the sound that awakened her from her dream, a gentle cough from the living room."Mum."She hurried out of her room.Grace Bennett was already awak

On that night, Aurora hardly slept.Of course she didn't understand, but for some reason, the young man who was arrogant in the café clung to her. The short meeting was nothing special. He was but another rich paying customer, aloof, impersonal, and certainly used to receiving what he wanted.She pushed it out of her mind.She would never be able to be with some people like Damien Kingsley.All she had was unfinished homework, unpaid tuition and hospital bills in her world.Theirs were luxury cars, designer watches.It was unlikely that they would ever meet again.Or so she believed.The Architecture Studio was in full swing, with students scurrying around, finishing up their newest design project.Before checking the time, Aurora had put the final touches on her model bridge.10 minutes prior to class.She was happy when she smiled."Morning."Emily Carter put her backpack down on the table next to her."You look terrible."Greetings also to you in the morning.Emily laughed."I mean

Well after Damien Kingsley was out of sight, Aurora remained under the old oak tree.The black business card was in her shivering hand, as if it weighed a ton.She looked at the beautiful embossed silver letters on its surface.Damien KingsleyNo phone number.All that's needed is the Kingsley Holdings logo and a QR code.If everyone didn't know how to find him already.Aurora burst out with a shaking laughter."Unbelievable."She folded the card in her hand."I'll never do it."Turning, she walked away.But each step was followed by another thought that came to her.Your tuition...Your mother's surgery...She stopped walking."No."She shook her head from side to side.“There's another way, I'll find another way.”She had to.There had to be some other means.That night Aurora was fifteen minutes early at Moonlight Café.Upon noticing her white face, her manager, Mr Collins, realized that something was not right."You look worse than yesterday.""I'm fine."You've told me this all w

There was such a thick haze in the air inside the top floor executive suite that Aurora could barely take a full breath. She retracted her hand, as if it had been scorched by Damien's lips, as soon as she said the formal greeting.Damien didn't seem bothered. He finished off the costly pen with a sharp, metallic click, grabbed the contract and put it in a leather folder.Damien's voice was now in its normal businesslike tempo, “The accounting department has already been told to make the wire transfers.” Your tuition will be paid in full at Kingsbridge before 5 PM and your mother's surgical reservation has been paid to City Heart Hospital by tomorrow morning.Her chest constricted and Aurora swallowed hard. “What about a receipt, sir?”Damien responded, "Will be sent to your e-mail as soon as the transactions are complete. Then he strolled around his desk, grabbed a sleek black phone and hurled it at her. It made a soft thud sound on the dark wood. “Use this now and always.”Aurora loo

The black sedan zoomed through the iron gates of the Kingsley estate. Excellent landscaping with manicured lawns extended for acres beyond the tinted windows to a large stone manor house, which was surrounded by soft landscape lighting.Aurora's hands were clenched tightly in her lap, and she sat stiffly in her midnight blue dress, inside the car.Damien looked at her, readjusted the cuffs of his tuxedo. Remember your instructions, Aurora, smile, stay close to me, and whatever you do, don't look panicked.In the script they'd rehearsed, Aurora swallowed hard. We met at the University library three weeks ago, where you asked me to help you locate a rare book on Architecture, and since then we have been seeing each other clandestinely.“Good,” said Damien coolly. "You remember."The driver pulled up to the grand front entrance; Aurora looked out the window. If your family doesn't like me what then?Damien squirmed his way over and ran a finger behind her ear, smoothing the hair out of h
