로그인Aurora’s POVTimes flew faster than I ever imagined they would.Theo graduated from Crestwood with honors, standing tall on the stage as his name was called. I watched from the audience with tears in my eyes, my heart full of pride and love. The journey had been long and complicated — filled with heartbreak, distance, reconciliation, and growth — but we had made it. Together.The celebration brought all our family together.The mansion was alive with laughter, music, and the warmth of extended family. Uncle Kael and his side of the family had arrived, along with cousins, aunts, and uncles I hadn’t seen in years. Mom and Dad had gone all out — beautiful decorations, a long buffet table filled with everyone’s favorite dishes, and a large cake with Theo’s name on it. My younger siblings ran around excitedly, chasing each other through the garden. Lila and Jaden were there too, part of the “big three” that had become family in their own right.Theo looked incredible in his graduation sui
Aurora’s POVThe weeks following our reunion felt like a beautiful dream I was afraid to wake from. Theo and I were taking things slow, but every moment together reminded me why I had fallen for him in the first place. He was still the same passionate, protective troublemaker who had stolen my heart two years ago — but there was a new gentleness in the way he loved me now. A quiet determination to prove he wouldn’t hurt me again.One perfect Saturday evening, he surprised me with a romantic date. He picked me up from the dorm in his familiar car, looking devastatingly handsome in a dark button-down shirt that hugged his broad shoulders. The moment I slid into the passenger seat, he leaned over and kissed me softly, his hand cupping my cheek like I was something precious.“You look beautiful,” he murmured against my lips, his thumb brushing my skin. “I’ve been thinking about this all week.”My heart fluttered as he drove us to a secluded beach just outside the city — our new favorite s
Aurora’s POVVacation was officially over.The peaceful, healing weeks I had spent at home felt like a beautiful dream I didn’t want to wake from. Every morning run through the garden, every quiet conversation with Mom on the terrace, every silly game with my younger siblings, and every heartfelt video call with Lila and Jaden had helped piece me back together. I had found parts of myself I thought were lost forever—the energetic, hopeful Aurora who laughed freely and looked forward to the future instead of being trapped in the past.Packing my bags for the return to Ridgewood Academy was bittersweet. I folded my clothes carefully, placing the diamond ring and necklace Theo had given me in a safe pouch. They were more than jewelry now. They were symbols of second chances, forgiveness, and the love we were slowly rebuilding. Mom watched me from the doorway, her expression soft and proud.“You’ve grown so much these past weeks,” she said quietly, stepping into the room to help me zip th
Aurora’s POVThe days following my reunion with Theo were filled with a cautious but genuine happiness I hadn’t felt in a long time. We were taking things slow—talking every day, going on proper dates, and rebuilding trust one careful step at a time. The necklace he had given me stayed around my neck, and the ring from my birthday never left my finger. They were beautiful reminders that second chances were possible.I was so happy that I couldn’t keep it to myself. I needed to share the news with the big three.Lila and Jaden met me at our favorite café the next weekend. The moment I sat down, they could tell something was different. My smile was brighter, my eyes lighter.“Okay, spill,” Lila demanded, leaning forward with a grin. “You look like you’re glowing. What happened?”I took a deep breath and told them everything. Theo showing up at the house. The awkward but honest conversation. The gifts. The intense reconnection. The promise to try again.Jaden listened quietly, then spoke
Aurora’s POVThe next morning, I found myself standing in the kitchen doorway, still wearing Theo’s ring on my right hand. I hadn’t taken it off since I slipped it on the night before. The diamond caught the morning light streaming through the windows, sparkling as if it held its own secrets. Mom was already up, preparing breakfast with her usual calm efficiency. The smell of fresh coffee and toast filled the air, grounding me in the present even as my mind raced with everything that had happened.I had barely slept. Theo’s message kept replaying in my head—“I need to talk to you, my baby girl.” The words stirred up every emotion I had tried so hard to bury: love, anger, longing, guilt, and hope. I didn’t know what to do with any of it.“Mom?” I said softly, stepping into the kitchen.She turned, wiping her hands on a dish towel, and immediately noticed the ring on my finger. Her eyebrows rose slightly, but she didn’t comment right away. Instead, she poured me a cup of coffee and gest
Aurora’s POVThe morning after my birthday was quiet and peaceful. I stood on the balcony in my soft morning coat, sipping coffee and watching the garden wake up under the gentle sunlight. The house was still mostly asleep, and I cherished these quiet moments where I could simply breathe and reflect on how far I had come.Then I heard it.The low, rumbling sound of a motorcycle engine in the distance. It grew louder, familiar in a way that made my heart skip. I leaned over the railing slightly, curiosity pulling me forward. The bike turned onto our street and slowed, finally parking right in front of our grand gate.My breath caught.I remembered that motorcycle instantly. The first time I had seen it—two years ago—it had splashed water on me during a rainy day, leading to my very first encounter with Theo. The troublemaker who had changed my life forever.He took off his helmet.Time seemed to slow. Theo looked exactly like he did back then—windswept hair, strong jaw, that same inten
Damien’s POVAfter I left Elara’s dorm, I drove straight back to the party. The music was still loud, but the crowd had thinned a little. I knew exactly what kind of trouble my son was getting into. Kael was never one to stay faithful, especially on his own birthday. I had seen this too many times
Damien’s POV I sat in my car a few blocks away from the motel, my phone screen glowing in the dim light. The hidden camera feed from Kael’s usual spots and the tracker I had on him showed everything clearly. Lucas, my private guy, had done a good job.There he was my son, in a cheap motel room wit
I got fed up waiting for Kael. The party was still loud, but he never came back. I checked my phone again no calls, no texts. My heart felt heavy. I couldn’t stay there smiling and pretending everything was okay. So I decided to leave.I tried to order an Uber outside the apartment building, but t
I locked the bathroom door and leaned against it, breathing fast. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. How could this be happening? The man who took my virginity last night the one who fucked me so hard that I screamed “daddy” and begged for more was my boyfriend’s father. Da
