### Aurora’s POV

The heavy double doors of the estate gates clicked shut behind us, cutting off the bright, oppressive lights of the penthouse driveway. Outside on the pavement, the air was surprisingly cool.

I stopped walking, the weight of my suitcase pulling at my arm. I turned to Lola. She was still panting slightly, her cheeks flushed with a mix of leftover adrenaline and sheer anger.

"Lola," I started, my voice softer now that the screaming was over. "Where are you going to go now? What a

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    The Backbone

    Aurora's POV ​The moment Jasmine saw me crumpled on the floor like a heap of dirty laundry, her face shifted from confusion to pure, protective rage.​She turned around, slammed the door shut, and turned the key in the lock.​"Aurora," she said, her voice dropping an octave as she dropped to her knees right in front of me. She grabbed my wrists, pulling my hands away from my face. "Look at me. Look at me right now."​I couldn't. I couldn't meet her eyes because I felt so stupid. I had spent three whole months pretending I was getting stronger, only for one five minute conversation with Lily to reduce me right back to square one.​"I can't, Jas," I choked out, a fresh wave of sob ripping through my throat. "I can't do this anymore. I am so tired."​"Who did this to you?" Jasmine asked, her hands wrapping firmly around my shoulders. She shook me gently, forcing me to sit up straight against the door. "Aurora, you left this house an hour ago laughing and telling me you were going to pus

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    Echoes of the past

    ### Aurora's POV ##The rhythmic thud of my sneakers hitting the pavement was the only sound I focused on. Ninety days. It had been exactly three months since Donald threw me out into the cold night with nothing but a suitcase and a broken heart.A lot had changed since then.Jasmine, my oldest friend, had been my absolute saving grace. When I showed up on her doorstep that night, she did not ask questions. She simply pulled me inside, locked the door, and let me fall apart. When I spent the first two weeks rotting in her spare bedroom, Jasmine refused to let me wallow. She threw out the junk food, put me on a strict diet, and forced me to wake up at six every morning to work out."Sweat out the pain, Aurora," she would tell me, pushing a bottle of water into my hands. "You are going to build a body and a mind so strong that those two snakes will not even recognize you."And it was working. My skin was glowing again, my body was toning up, and for the first time in years, I felt a spa

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    The Breaking Of A Doll

    Aurora's POV The night grew darker, the air thick with the smell of rain. My fingers were slick with sweat as I walked down the street, pulling my heavy suitcase along the pavement. The penthouse felt miles away now, a place that didn't belong to me anymore. I could still feel where the guards had held my arms, and Donald's angry words kept repeating in my head.Every block I walked made the reality sink in deeper. I had no money on me. My bank accounts were probably already frozen by Donald's orders. I was completely on my own.Then, the sky opened up.It didn't start with a gentle drizzle; it poured hard and fast. The cold rainwater soaked through my clothes within seconds. My hair plastered to my face, blinding me, and the chill cut right through my skin. The sudden downpour seemed to wash away the shock that had kept me moving, leaving only the quiet pain of what had just happened.I stopped walking. The handle of my suitcase slipped from my numb fingers, clattering against the w

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    The Cold Slate Of Freedom

    Aurora PovThe red taillights of Lola’s taxi bled into the hazy, neon streaked midnight of the city, dissolving until she was entirely gone. With her departure, the fragile adrenaline that had kept me standing in the face of Donald’s rage evaporated.I was completely, utterly alone on the dark pavement.The weight of my suitcase pulled heavily against my arm, a physical anchor reminding me of how little I now owned. I walked aimlessly down two blocks, my heels clicking a hollow rhythm against the concrete, until I found a small, dimly lit park. I sank onto a rusted metal bench beneath the flickering yellow glow of a dying streetlamp.And there, in the quiet shadows where nobody could see me, the dam finally broke.A violent, gut wreaking sob tore from my chest, shaking me to my very bones. I pressed my face into my palms, trying to muffle the sound, but the tears poured out like an unstoppable flood. They burned my cheeks, hot and bitter, washing away the numb shock of the last few ho

"Where are you going to go now? What are you going to do?"Lola shrugged, though her hands were still trembling as she gripped the handle of her bag. "I don't know, ma. But anywhere is better than that hellhole."I let out a soft sigh, looking at her with a mix of gratitude and deep worry. "You shouldn't have even insulted Lily like that, Lola. At least if you had stayed quiet, you would still have your job. You'd still have a roof over your head and your salary.""I can't stay in that house any longer," Lola said, her voice crackin

  • Married To My Ex Husband Rival    The Weight Of Cruelty

    **Donald’s POV**The heavy click of the penthouse door shutting behind Aurora felt like a sudden slap to my face. Reality crashed back in, and the sheer audacity of what she had just done made the blood boil in my veins."Aurora! Come back here!" I roared, my voice echoing off the walls. "I am still talking to you! Come back here right now!"She didn't even pause. Her shadow vanished from the hallway."Damn it," I growled, my chest heaving with a violent surge of anger. I stood up quickly, wanting to go after her and drag her back by her arm. She didn't get to walk away from me. She didn't get to have the last word.Before I could take a step, Lily’s frantic voice cut through the air. She lunged forward from where she was resting on the couch, her fingers wrapping tightly around my wrist. Her grip was desperate."Don't go after her. Let her go," Lily pleaded, her eyes welling with fresh tears as she looked up at me. "The baby, I’m not feeling too well to fight. The baby is not feeling
