    Aurora's heart crushed her ribcage.Alexander was here.It was relief before everything else for a brief moment in time it appeared.Then fear followed.She knew Alexander.He had ignored all of the sensible instincts that he had if he had come alone.She seemed to have given him a satisfactory answer.Be not so concerned.He glared at Aurora."You kidnapped me."So your husband came running to you.“He's NOT my husband.”Marcus's smile widened."Not legally."He noticed that the papers were strewn about on the table.But he did come here a certain way, and I would say it doesn't make a big difference to him, his judgment goes.Aurora's fists were clenched tightly."Where's my father?"Marcus didn't answer.Rather, he went towards the entrance to the vault."Stay here."Aurora laughed bitterly.Do you really think that I will listen to you?Marcus stopped.He turned slowly.“Your father is not dead.So that's the entire story.Then take him here then," he said.A coldness was kindled

    The morning came and Aurora awoke to hear the rain pounding on the ancient glass window.Her head throbbed.Slowly she opened her eyes, the room whirred and whirled.She attempted to get up—She had her wrists bound to the arms of an old wooden chair."What..."In her heart was the panic.She pulled against the ropes."They're no use."It was a voice that was familiar to us, it was from across the room.Marcus Hale was standing by the fireplace, taking his time and pouring himself a glass of whiskey.He raised his eyes and smiled."Good evening, Aurora."She glared at him."Where's my father?"Marcus took a drink, one that was slow."Alive."I want to see him—"You will.""When?"If you're ready to tell me what I want to know.Aurora frowned.I don't know anything.Marcus chuckled.But, that's what is the issue.He came towards her.“All you've known as a girl is that you're the daughter of Richard Whitmore.”"I am."Marcus inclined his head."Are you?"Aurora's heart skipped.What do

    In the hospital garden, Aurora quietly sat under the maple tree.But she didn't notice the evening breeze, that was blowing at her face.She had been trapped in Room 1808.Alexander had gazed at her with strange eyes.Polite.Respectful.Empty.It did hurt more than she wished.She closed her eyes.How can anyone not remember a whole romantic tale?"You don't."The voice was familiar and she was surprised.She turned.Alexander was a few feet away.He was wearing a hospital pants that were loose and a gray sweater with one hand in his pocket. Bandage under his collar showed through his collar.The idea is that one shouldn't be in bed.He smiled faintly.The doctor said that a short walk would be helpful.Aurora nodded awkwardly.Then came a period of silence between.Finally, Alexander spoke."Ethan told me..."“Then we have to get married,” I said.At the time, Aurora managed to pull a fake smile."We were."He noticed the one word."Were?"You can't remember me."So..."I don't know
