AURORA POV

"Why no let tessa be your Surrogate???" She suggested and I looked at Darren who shrugged

"Be my Surrogate?? How do mean?" I asked and she sighs

"You're not dumb Aurora.. she's going to sleep with your husband and get married then the child will be yiurs"she explained making me open my mouth in suprise.

"Why the fuck would I let her sleep with Darren. And why would she do that?" I said " I mean waste her precious today and time to carry my baby.."

Mom chuckled softly " oh Aurora.. I'm sure your sister doesn't mind. Besides she owes you and if you don't want her sleeping with your husband I'm sure there's something else..

"She doesn't owe me mother. She's my sister If I was asked to do it again I'll do it in a heartbeat. I stated "and I'll think about it"

Why does she think because I gave Tessa one of my kidney, she owes me.

"Well think about it.. Time is not on your side and Take care of yourself better, You should’ve been stronger.” " she replied making me furrow my brows

"What do you mean by that??" I asked

"Just think about what I said. Bye" she hanged up.

I sighed and glared at darren before walking to our room and he followed me.

"I'm sorry" he apologised and I snickered

"For what? Not coming to the hospital to check on me after I lose our child.. or for asking me if I've cooked.." I asked my voice low.

"Both.. The Reason I didn't come to the hospital was because I… I was pained.. I feel bitter and coming there will stir up bad feelings." He explained

"Oh of course." I said, My Voice flat.

"And for the food. I'm sorry. I'm tipsy and didn't want to talk about it " He said and pulled me into a hug.. I couldn't hold it and burst into tears..

"I'm fed up darren.." I choked out

"I'm sorry…" he held me tighter..

Second miscarriage after 1 year and 6 month of getting married..

He tucked me into the bed and lay beside me hugging me.. darkness fell over me..

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆★☆★

Darren left before I could wake up… it's be days since the incident

He left a note on the table beside the bed.

Off to work. I'll be home late BTW

Darren…

I sighed before walking to the bathroom.The bathroom door clicked shut behind me, and for the first time all day—hell, all week—there was silence. Just me, the faint hum of the light, and the dull roar of my pulse in my ears.

I leaned against the sink, breathing hard. My reflection stared back at me—hair tangled, cheeks pale, eyes hollow. I looked like someone who had forgotten how to exist.

I turned on the tap. The rush of water filled the space, too loud, too alive. My hands trembled as I splashed my face, but the sting of cold water only made everything worse. The tears came again—hot, angry, relentless.

“Take care of yourself better,” my mother’s voice echoed in my head. “You should’ve been stronger.”

I gripped the counter, knuckles white. “Pull yourself together, Aurora,” I whispered to the mirror, voice shaking. “You can’t keep falling apart.”

But the thing was—I already had.

The sobs came again, this time silent and shaking. I slid down to the floor, cold tile against my knees, clutching my stomach like I could still protect what was gone.

For the first time, I didn’t try to stop crying. I just let it come—loud, broken, messy. Let it echo through the empty bathroom until even my voice gave up.

Somewhere between breaths, between the ache and the silence, a thought hit me.

Maybe I should just let Tessa help me with the pregnancy stuff. At least to get Darren's family off my back……

"Yeah that's what I gonna do" I mumbled..

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

After the crying session and everything in the bathroom earlier. I'm sitting in a cafe with Amy..

"So let me rephrase this… After you got home that day, Darren asked if you cooked?" She asked her eyes widen and I nodded..

"Yes" I mumbled

"Oh my lord. what type of man is that Aurora and why are you just telling me this." She barked in disbelief ..

"He apologised saying he was drunk… that's not why I'm here tho" I said "My mom suggested Tessa help me with the pregnancy"

She looked at me confused " How is she gonna help you with it?"

"Sleeping with Darren and conceiving.. After the pregnancy the child will be mine." I explained making her stare at me in disbelief

"Your mother wants your sister to fuck your husband and what did you say about it?"

"I told her no… but now, I'm re thinking babe.. the doctor said I don't have the strength to carry a pregnancy for now.." I mumbled.

Amy sighed heavily "I still don't think it's a good idea.. But what did Tessa say about it?" She asked

" I haven't informed her about it.. I just told my mom I'll think about it." I faltered

"Do you want her to help you?"

"Not really but I don't have a choice.. Darren's mom is on my neck.." I whispered, Fingers clutching the hem of my gown.

"Then call your mom and tell her yes but firstly talk to Darren okay?" Amy suggested

I nodded smiling softly "Thank you Amy.. I don't know what I'll have done without you"

"Always Babyyy now check this." She grinned showing me her phone. I took it and sate at am man picture..

damnnnn he looks..

My mouth opened widely and I hear Amy laughing..

In all the years I've been alive this is my first time of seeing someone as breathtaking as his.

Golden eyes. Golden Hair. His abs. body. He is a damn Greek God..

I shook my head immediately

Aurora be calm you're fucking married and going through a lot then to be gawking over a devilish handsome lord… my thighs clenched instinctively

"Earth to Aurora.." Amy snapped back to reality

I hand her phone back to her and she winled at me..

"Elias Stone.. The Billionaire and a bachelor of Syrial Cityyyyy. I mean he's like the richest man on earth.." Amy fawn excitedly

"He's okay." I nodded

"Okay?? You literally opened your mouth Rora" she giggled making me laugh..

Laugh which I haven't in weeks…

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I talked to Darren after I got home and he said he doesn't mind… in fact he didn't sound hesistant.

The image of my husband shagging my sister makes me wanna throw up.. So disgusting.

I breathed softly dialling my mother’s number.

"Aurora. Finally thought about it.?" She asked and I glance at darren who just looked at me and smiled softly.

"YESSS.." I drawled "Darren and I are both ready"

Continue to next part

In the roaring flames of the abandoned warehouse, my skin blistered and peeled. Through the crackling fire, my sister Elara's malicious voice echoed. She told me my husband, Damien, was dead, and it was all my fault. For years, I had treated Damien like a monster. I fought him, threw tantrums, and desperately tried to escape our marriage, all because I blindly followed Elara's advice. "Remember, the harder you fight, the more disgusted he'll get." She texted me things like that, telling me to smash vases over his head and run away, claiming she was protecting me. In reality, she was poisoning my mind, stealing my valedictorian spot at university, and plotting to crawl into my billionaire husband's bed. My foolish rebellion cost me everything, ultimately leading to Damien's tragic death and my own fiery end. As the massive explosion tore my consciousness to shreds, I finally understood who truly loved me and who the real monster was. I died suffocating on my own agonizing regret, wishing I could tear Elara apart. Then, a rush of freezing air punched into my lungs. I opened my eyes to the crisp scent of cedar and mint. I was back seven years ago, on the very night our marriage was supposed to go to hell. This time, looking at Damien's flawless, unscarred face, I didn't push him away. I wrapped my arms around his neck and made a silent vow: I would make every single person who ever hurt him bleed.

The private elevator chimed, a soft, melodic sound that usually signaled the end of my solitude. I stood by the marble kitchen island, smoothing the invisible wrinkles from my silk dress. The scent of roasted duck and rosemary—a welcome-home dinner for my husband’s return from a three-month European expansion—filled the penthouse. The brass doors parted. Zayne stepped out, his custom-tailored charcoal suit impeccable as always. But he wasn't alone. A woman clung to his arm, her manicured fingers sinking into the fabric of his sleeve. She possessed a curated, effortless beauty, wearing a subtle red dress that commanded the foyer. "Valerie," Zayne said, his voice carrying that practiced, polished boardroom cadence. "This is Madelynn.

Love After a Toxic Marriage

I arrived at the Palo Alto headquarters before the sun had fully risen, my heels clicking against the polished marble floor of the empty lobby. Five years of my life had gone into this building, into Ryan's company—our company, though you'd never hear him say it. Today was everything we'd worked for: the Series B funding pitch that would either launch us into tech stardom or leave us struggling for another year. My fingers trembled slightly as I arranged the presentation packets for the fifth time, aligning their edges with mathematical precision. Each folder contained months of my work—financial projections, market analyses, growth strategies—all meticulously prepared for the venture capitalists who held our future in their hands. "You're here early," Madison's syrupy voice cut through the silence, startling me. She stood in the doorway of the conference room, a vision in pale pink, her blonde hair falling in perfect waves around her shoulders. "Let me help you with those." "I've got it," I said, perhaps too quickly. Something in her eager smile made my stomach tighten. "But thank you." She tilted her head, eyes widening with practiced innocence.
