Owen’s frustration had only grown throughout the day. Every meeting, every report, and every single conversation at the office had been filled with irritation, his patience running razor-thin. And at the center of it all…Aurora.
The image of her with Ian in the driveway that morning had burned itself into his mind, fueling his already fo
(Owen's POV)Kemal was seated in front of me. His body slouched as if the entire weight of the world rested on him, and anyone could see how much he regretted his past mistakes just by looking into his tear-filled eyes that dared not spill.“She started keeping bad company,” Kemal said.“People who partied endlessly. Alcohol. Drugs. Boys with money but no direction. I was often away, and when I wasn’t, she became someone I didn’t recognize”.“One night, I went to her apartment unannounced. I wanted to surprise her. To talk. To fix things” His hands trembled slightly now.My expression hardened.“She was drunk,&rdquo
(Owen’s POV)My office was wrapped in its usual aura of quiet authority, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, muted steel and wood tones, the steady hum of power that came with control and precision. I was sitting behind my desk, sleeves rolled up slightly, eyes focused on the contract glowing on my tablet. Numbers, clauses, timelines, things I could command effortlessly.The soft knock at the door barely registered at first.“Come in” I said without looking up.“Sir, there’s a gentleman in the reception who’s asking to meet you” My assistant stepped inside, posture straight, expression professional.“Does he have an appointment?” I finally looked up.
(Author’s POV)By the time evening settled in, the sky outside the mansion had turned a soft shade of orange fading into dusky blue.Elara stood near the door, adjusting her bag over her shoulder while Aurora walked her out. Ivy hovered a few steps behind, her fingers twisting together, hesitant, but not anxious like before.“I’ll come again,” Elara said warmly, looking between the two of them.“And next time, Ivy, you have to tell me the ending of the novel”.“I will” Ivy smiled shyly. Elara smiled back, genuinely pleased.“You’re doing amazing” She then squeezed Aurora into a brief hug, whispering.
(Author’s POV)After breakfast, the Skylar mansion slowly returned to its usual rhythm.Owen and Ryan were the first to leave, already dressed in their tailored suits. They kissed Aurora gently, forehead, cheek before heading out to the office, reminding her to call if she needed anything.Ian followed soon after, grumbling dramatically about college while still managing to steal a hug from Aurora before rushing out. Asher lingered the longest, brushing a brief kiss against Aurora’s temple before leaving to meet his manager.Once the front doors closed, the mansion felt quieter but not empty.Aurora walked back to her room to check on Ivy. The girl sat curled up on the bed, legs folded beneath her, completel
(Author’s POV)Morning arrived softly.Pale sunlight filtered through the curtains of Asher’s room, brushing over tangled sheets and quiet breaths. Aurora stirred first, nestled against Asher’s chest, his arm heavy and warm around her waist. For a moment she lay still, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, feeling the calm that only came after a night where emotions had finally settled instead of fought.She smiled to herself.Asher shifted slightly, his fingers tightening instinctively at her waist, as if even in sleep he was afraid she might slip away. When his eyes finally opened, still hazy with rest, they softened instantly at the sight of her.“Morning” He murmured, voice low and
(Author’s POV)After comforting Aurora, the Skylar brothers slowly dispersed, each heading back to their own rooms but not before making sure she felt surrounded by their love.Owen pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. Ryan brushed his thumb along her cheek before placing a soft kiss there. Asher kissed her temple. Ian hugged her tightly for a second longer than the rest and kissed her forehead with a quiet, “Good night.”She then walked into her room softly, careful not to make a sound. The lights were dim, and the room was bathed in silver moonlight spilling through the curtains. Ivy was already changed into her night clothes, curled beneath the covers.Aurora moved quietly, freshened up, changed into her nightwear, and slipped into the bed beside I

(Author’s POV)Ryan’s breath was heavy as he stared into Aurora’s eyes, his mind consumed by the images that had tormented him all evening. Caleb’s hands on her waist. Caleb making her laugh. Cal
(Author’s POV)The car’s door opened and Skylar brothers stepped out one by one, together, for the first time in years. The media and public had been waiting for this very moment. The flashing cameras turned into an almost blinding storm of lights, capturing the brothers from every possible angle.
(Ryan’s POV)For the first time in a long time, I felt something other than indifference as I stepped into my office. I had never cared much about my daily routine…meetings, reports, contracts, and the usua
