All Chapters of THE WRONG BILLIONAIRE I CHOOSE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~LEONARD“Leonard Montgomery. I thought you were invincible? Back for your monthly check-up?” Axel said typing away on his monitor. “Your father still sends you stuff by Royal seal? What an old-fashioned man.” I lifted one of the letters and read through it. “Isn’t this an invitation from Leonhart for his birthday? That old man is still kissing ass.” “You are the second person I know that calls him by his name. Who are you bringing as your plus one?” Axel said, finally taking off his glasses. “Your mother.”“Okay. Whoa, Lone wolf. What about Aurora?” He chuckled. “I regret telling you things. What do you think would happen if I took my cousin's ex-wife to a family event?” I threw back the letter on his desk. “It would be amazing. Everyone would have their eyes on you. They wanted a scandal, give them one.” His telephone rang.“Hello.” He sighed in frustration, before he spoke back. Taking Aurora wouldn't be such a bad idea. And Leonhart was strict on the “plus-one” bullshit.

~AURORAI texted Leonard that morning after taking his number from the company group yesterday. I didn't know my way to the Aviation Group company, so I had to text him about joining him. [MEET ME AT THE COMPANY BY 7:30am] He texted back. I had been sitting at the reception office since 07:20am and now it was 07:40am. So much for punctuality.“You're late.” I heard his voice from behind me. I turned to face the owner of the voice. “I'm late? No you're late. I’ve—”“Let's get going. Enough squabbling. I need to be on time.” He said, walking past me like I wasn't there to begin with.I closed my mouth and walked behind him. This was the second time he was treating me like a complete piece of shit. I will show him, just watch and see. I am watching your back today but one day you will not be able to reach mine.We walked through the back entrance, bypassing the front lobby and parking lot, until we reached the underground garage.Oh wow. It's been a long time since I saw one of thos

~AURORAI watched the monitor but what replayed over and over and over on those screens weren't codes. They were images and memories of me crying and looking hopeless in the house I called home. My own mother had shown me so much cruelty that I questioned why she birthed me. ~~“Get lost!. Aurora, get out of my sight before I beat the living hell out of you!” My mother, Eleanor, pushed me out of her room. “Mommy please. My belly hurts. I need medication.” Blood dripped everywhere I went. My first period. I didn't know what to do. “You insolent child.” She marched out of her room to grab me. “Why didn't you just die, when I tried to abort you?” “Clean these stupid stuff on the floor before I make you clean them with your tongue!” She threw me on the tiled floor. “Ahhh…Mother!” I clutched my belly and my head at the impact. “Call me that again. I dare you!” She approached me.~~Another tear streamed down my eyes. I was fucking 11. An 11 years old girl. Why did she tell me tha

~AURORAMy eyes fluttered open as my alarm rang loudly. I yawned and stretched like I had a wonderful night. It was actually the opposite. I couldn't sleep. My eyes were closed but my brain kept reminding me of what today was. The birthday event. It was always huge and for the past five years, I had helped in organizing it. I got up, slipped my feet into my slippers and opened the window. I shuddered a bit as the cold air hit my skin. The sky was dark. But the roads had a mix of red, yellow and gold. This year I was a plus one. I chuckled at myself.I didn't want any stupid memories of joy and laughter. So I walked out of my room, beelined to the bathroom to brush and wash my face. I looked at my reflection. “What a disaster.” My hair was all tangled up. I don't know the last time I actually took care of my hair or my skin properly. As I brushed, I touched my hair. I was once very proud of it. I used to be a beautiful redhead. But now I was working my ass off, trying to gather

LEONARD’S POV“Wait Aurora! Calm down. You are misunderstanding the situation.” She increased her pace as I hurried behind her. I sighed, “Wait!”She finally halted, just outside the building. “How could you? To think I was starting to respect you, and you pull a move this low. With your cousin’s ex-wife?” She folded her arms under her chest as I caught up to her. “Can you calmly listen to me?”“No.”“Great. Walk with me.” I pointed her to the garden, and she reluctantly followed my gesture.As we entered the garden, the sweet honey and vanilla scent filled my nose and reminded me of why I loved this spot during this stupid event. “Hmm. What’s that scent? I haven’t been to this part of the garden before.” She bent over to smell the flowers. “Honey mixed with vanilla. I didn’t know we had the night phlox here.”“This place is truly enchanting when you focus on the natural part of it and not the man-made part.” I sat on the bench and caught sight of her gawking at me like she had s
