Chapter 121

Aurora’s POVI couldn’t stay inside that room any longer.The walls felt like they were closing in on me, trapping me with my own thoughts. Something was wrong. I didn’t know what, but my instincts screamed at me to stay alert.I unlocked the door and stepped out into the hallway, glancing around. Still empty. Still too quiet.I sat down on the chair right outside my door, pulling my legs up and wrapping my arms around them. My eyes darted from one end of the hallway to the other, searching for any sign of movement. Nothing.But that feeling, that uneasy, crawling sensation on my skin, it was still there.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. Dominic would be here soon. His men would secure the hospital, and my mother would be by my side.Everything would be fine.At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.Minutes passed, but they felt like hours. The air felt thick, pressing against my chest. Every small noise made me flinch, the distant beep of a heart monitor, the

Chapter 122

Aurora’s POVI could see the worry in my mother’s eyes before she even spoke.“Aurora,” she said, stepping closer. “What are you planning?”I took a deep breath, my hands clenching at my sides. I had already made up my mind. There was no turning back now.“Mom,” I said firmly, looking her straight in the eyes. “I need to get that evidence that Patrick is holding.”Her brows furrowed in confusion. “But Dominic already—”“I know,” I cut her off. “Dominic made a deal with him, but Patrick will never keep his word. Even if Dominic gives him everything he’s demanding, he will still betray him.”I shook my head, frustration building up inside me. “I can’t just sit here and do nothing. This is my only chance to stop him. To stop Joanna. To make them pay for everything they’ve done to our family.”Mom’s face paled. She grabbed my arm tightly. “Aurora, you’re putting yourself in danger out there. What if Joanna or Isabella get to you first? Or worse—what if Patrick finds out what you’re up to?

Chapter 123

Aurora’s POVThe cold night air rushed against my skin as I drove toward Patrick’s old office. My hands tightened on the motorbike’s handles as I approached the area. I had to be careful.The place was not abandoned, and I couldn't risk being seen.I slowed down a few streets away and found a dark alley to hide the bike. My feet barely made a sound as I moved toward the building, sticking to the shadows. The entire area was quiet, almost too quiet.Just as I reached the entrance, I saw her.Isabella.I froze, pressing myself against the cold brick wall, my breathing controlled. She hadn’t seen me yet.She stood outside, glancing around as if she was waiting for someone.A few seconds later, Patrick appeared, walking toward her with a smirk.“I told you to stop wasting your time looking for Joanna and Eva,” Patrick said in a low voice. “They will show up when they need the evidence.”My heart pounded. Evidence. He still had it, and he knew Joanna and Eva were after it.Patrick stepped

Chapter 124

Aurora’s POVI pressed my back against the wall, my heart pounding so loudly I was afraid they’d hear it. Breathe, Aurora. Stay still.Patrick and Isabella were still talking, their voices low, filled with amusement and hunger."As in, you’re in such a hurry to leave with that file," Isabella teased, trailing her fingers down Patrick’s chest. “It must be very important for you.”Patrick smirked, tucking the file under his arm. “You have no idea.”Isabella wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body against him. “Then make me understand,” she whispered, her lips brushing against his.I rolled my eyes from my hiding spot. This woman never changes.Patrick didn’t resist. His grip tightened around Isabella’s waist, pulling her closer. Within seconds, his hands slid up her thighs, his breath ragged as he kissed her neck,

Chapter 125

Aurora’s POVI raised my hands slightly, keeping my expression neutral. "Alright, Isabella," I said, my voice calm despite the storm raging inside me. "You got me. Let’s talk."Isabella smirked, clearly enjoying having the upper hand. "Smart choice," she said, keeping the gun steady. "Now, tell me, what were you looking for?"I took a slow step forward, pretending to be hesitant. "Patrick has been keeping secrets from everyone, including you," I said, watching her closely. "You think he trusts you?"Her smirk faltered slightly, doubt flickering in her eyes."Shut up," she snapped. "I know exactly what Patrick is up to."I shook my head. "No, you don’t," I said firmly. "But I do."Her grip on the gun loosened just a fraction. That was my chance.In a split second, I lunged.My hand struck her wrist hard, knocking the gun out of her grasp. The weapon clattered to th

Chapter 126

AURORA'S POV No. I needed to hide.I scanned my surroundings, my eyes darting from door to door. One of them was slightly open.Without hesitation, I slipped inside and shut the door softly behind me, pressing my back against it.Seconds later, Isabella arrived.I could hear her heavy breathing outside. She was close. Too close.I stayed still, listening as she cursed under her breath.Then, silence.Was she waiting? Or had she left?I didn’t know. But I couldn’t move yet.I had to wait.I pressed my back against the door, my breath coming out in slow, steady beats. Isabella was still close. I could feel it.My heart pounded as I whispered to myself, "No matter what happens here today, I must not let Isabella find those flash drives with me. I have to hide them."I reached into my jacket, my fingers trembling slightly as I pulled out th

Chapter 127

Patrick's POV Her voice came through the line, sharp and irritated. "I'm here. That bitch is still hiding. Goddamn knows where, but she’s trapped. She can’t leave this building.”I smirked. “Good. That means we have time to play.”I stepped out of the elevator, my eyes scanning the dimly lit hallway. The old office smelled of dust and secrets, and I knew Aurora was somewhere close.“I hurt my leg because of her, Patrick,” Isabella hissed through the phone. “She got away from me, but she’s still here. She’s just hiding like a scared little rat.”“Then let’s smoke her out.” I said coldly.I ended the call and took slow, deliberate steps down the hallway. Aurora thought she was smart, but she had no idea who she was dealing with.I reached into my jacket and pulled out my gun. If she didn’t come out will

Chapter 128

Aurora’s POVMy heart nearly stopped when I heard Patrick’s voice from the other side of the door.“Aurora, don’t waste my time! Get your damn ass out of there before I burn you down along with this building!”I pressed my hand over my mouth, trying to silence my heavy breathing. They wouldn’t really do it, would they?Then I heard Isabella’s voice.“Are you sure about this, Patrick?”“I said pour the petrol! She’s going to hell with this building.”My stomach dropped. They were serious.A sharp, strong smell filled my nostrils. Gasoline. They were really setting the place on fire.Think, Aurora! You have to get out of here!I looked around frantically. The fire alarm! If I could trigger it, the sprinklers might slow down the flames, and the emergency system might unlock some of the doors.I rushed to the desk, grabbing a chair and slamming it against the glass covering the alarm. The crash echoed through the room. I didn’t care anymore. I smashed the button hard.Nothing happened.Sh

Chapter 129

Dominic’s POVMy hands tightened around the steering wheel as I drove through the dark streets, the city lights flickering past like ghosts. My mind was racing, my chest tight with fear.Aurora’s signal had led me here, to Patrick’s old office building, not to the address he had given me.I knew Patrick. He was a snake. A master of deception. He wanted me to go to the wrong place while he did whatever sick thing he had planned.The tracking device on Aurora’s phone had been steady for the past few minutes, but then…“Sir, the tracking has stopped.”My heart slammed against my ribs.“What?” I barked, gripping the wheel tighter.“The signal just cut off. It’s gone.”Damn it.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. This wasn’t a coincidence. Patrick was covering his tracks. He must have found out Aurora had a tracker.I inhaled sharply, pushing down the wave of panic rising inside me.I couldn't afford to lose focus now."We’re still going to that building." My voice was firm, le

Chapter 130

Joanna’s POVJulie clutched the baby tightly, her eyes filled with fear and determination. “I will never let you go with this baby,” she hissed.I let out a slow chuckle, stepping closer. “Oh, Julie, don’t be so dramatic.”Tears welled in her eyes, but her grip on the baby only tightened. “You’ve already taken everything from me! You stole my inheritance, destroyed our family, and left me with nothing! You kept me away from Aurora, my own daughter, for years! And now you want to take her child too?” She shook her head furiously. “I will never let you have my grandchild!”I sighed, tilting my head. “You always did have a way of making yourself the victim, didn’t you?”Julie’s face twisted with anger. “You are the reason for everything! You lied, manipulated, and ruined my life. You wanted me gone, and you got what you wanted. But I won’t let you win this time. Not with Aurora’s baby.”I smirked, taking another step forward. “And how exactly do you plan to stop me, dear sister? You’re w
