Chapter 1
Aurora let out a soft sigh in the courtroom as they all waited for the judge to give the final verdict. She was divorcing her husband Damian Blackwood for doing something she would never in a million years expect. Her hands were clenched together and her eyes were downcast, she was praying inside of her for this to be over quickly.
Across from her, sat Damian Blackwood. Looking calm and collected as usual, and his face expressionless. It was really hard to tell what was going on in his mind, impossible even. All he did was throw several glances at Aurora When she wasn't looking.
The judge finally spoke after a while, "In the matter of Aurora Sinclair versus Damian Blackwood, the Court hereby declares that the marriage between the aforementioned parties is hereby legally dissolved. The divorce is finalized, effective immediately." He slammed the gavel on the desk.
The sound sent a cold shiver down Aurora's spine. Six years, six damn years... just gone. On the outside, she seemed composed. On the Inside though...
She stood up and made her way towards Damian, she scoffed inwardly at how unbothered he looked, "Stoic as ever." She whispered. "That's Six long years down the drain."
Damian turned at the sound of her voice, he didn't say a word but just stared at her in silence. Aurora took his hand and placed both her wedding and engagement rings on his palm. "I never wanted anything from you, Damian. I just wanted to be loved by you..."
Damian remained silent.
She then took a step back and let out a stiff laugh, "But it seems that was also too much for me to ask." She turned around. Before leaving, she added, "Have a nice life with Selene."
Damian silently watched her as she continued to walk away, clutching her purse tightly. A sigh left his thin lips. His eyes then slowly panned down to the two rings on his palm that he was still holding out, they felt cold and lifeless, indicating the sad end of their six year relationship. He swallowed and clenched his fists tightly.
Outside the courthouse.
Aurora slammed her car door shut and started the engine. She drove off with insane speed that matched perfectly with how she was feeling inside- conflicted. After letting out a dry laugh, she sighed, "What a joke."
The memories of the past 2 weeks came back, crashing down on her.
Two weeks ago.
Aurora parked the car in the company's reserved parking lot. She got out of the car after grabbing the things she got for her husband. A small bag from his favorite restaurant and a vintage red wine which was really hard to get. She stared at the tall glass building which reflected the evening sun.
Blackwood Enterprises. A powerful company run by her husband, Damian Blackwood. She smiled to herself, never been more proud of Damian. He's been working nonstop in the past few days, barely having any time to eat.
And now, as a little reward for working hard, she planned a few things for the night. A romantic, candlelit dinner for two, followed by a warm bath to melt the tension from his muscles. And afterward... Well, she had picked out a very special piece of lingerie that he wouldn't be able to resist peeling off of her.
Her chest tightened with excitement as she walked into the building.
She found it odd at first that no one was at the receptionist area, "Maybe they all went home early?" She wondered aloud as she walked towards the elevator.
In the mirrored elevator, she gave herself a once-over and smiled. Aurora had always been beautiful, but tonight, she had made sure she looked breathtaking. Her light brown hair, sleek and straight, cascaded over her shoulders, framing her delicate features. Her deep brown eyes sparkled, enhanced by a touch of eyeliner and mascara. She had chosen a soft red lipstick, a shade Damian had once told her was his favorite.
She knocked twice on Damian's office door before going in. To her surprise, he wasn't there. There were files scattered all over his desk and even on the floor. Aurora wondered where he went. And why was no one around? She left the office.
A short while after coming out of the office, she bumped into several women chatting and laughing with each of them holding a glass of wine. They all stopped short in their tracks the moment they spotted her and started to murmur amongst themselves.
Aurora didn't really pay attention to them, she knew where Damian was now. Beneath the floor she was on, there was a small event hall where special occasions or announcements are held. She figured right away thanks to the outfit the women were putting on. She let out a relieved sigh and went back in the office to put the restaurant bag and wine on his desk. It would be awkward for her to walk into the event carrying those, it's meant for Damian alone after all.
Good thing she was dressed beautifully, Aurora was not one to be seen looking "ordinary" outside her home. She always wore the most gorgeous outfits, even though they were not over the top.
She finally got to the event hall. After standing outside for a few seconds to catch her breath- she walked pretty fast to get there because she was excited to see Damian, she went in. An what she saw next made her eyes widen.
Damian was on the podium, giving a vote of thanks while holding hands with another woman. After taking a much better look, Aurora recognized her.
Selene Davenport, a socialite heiress whose father is one of the most powerful men in the country. Selene's obsession with Damian was no news to Aurora and Damian always reassured her that nothing was going on whenever she would meet them in his office. Aurora sure trusted Damian. But Selene on the other hand was one to watch out for. Even if they had met under different circumstances, Aurora was sure she would have hated her on sight. There was just something about the woman that rubbed her the wrong way.
Damian stopped talking the moment he saw her. The people present started whispering. And she caught some of what they were saying as she walked towards him.
"How come she's here?"
"Will she cause a scene?"
"Did they not tell her about it?"
Aurora walked up to the podium, "Damian," she called, "What's going on right now? And why is she...?" Her eyes were on their intertwined hands. Damian blinked and put down the mic. He pulled his hand away from Selene and walked up to her, "Aurora. Let's talk in my office."
"There's nothing to talk about in your office, Damian. Just let her know now!" Someone's voice shot up from the audience. Aurora looked, her brows furrowed. It was no other than Damian's father...Victor Blackwood.
Victor Blackwood, founder of Blackwood enterprises. Aurora's relationship with Victor was never really on the nice side. Ever since they discovered that Aurora was incapable of having children, he stopped paying attention to her and naturally the daughter in-law and father in-law bond began to wither.
She turned to Damian, "Explain this. Explain all of this!"

My billionaire husband, Cooper, was thirty minutes late to my father's funeral.
When the heavy cathedral doors finally opened, he wasn't there to comfort me. He was tightly shielding his mistress, Celeste, under his umbrella, treating her like a fragile lily while I stood alone in my black mourning dress.
The whispers in the pews were deafening, but they were nothing compared to the truth I soon uncovered.
Cooper hadn't just humiliated me—he had secretly taken my father's life-saving spot in a medical clinical trial and given it to Celeste's family. My father died gasping for air because of him.
Days later, while I was shivering in the ER with a 103-degree fever, I saw Cooper sneaking into the VIP maternity ward. He was holding Celeste, his face glowing with the ecstatic joy of a man about to become a father.
For three years, I swallowed my pride to be his perfect, obedient wife, only to let his elite friends openly mock me to my face.
"You were just keeping the seat warm until the real queen came back."
He let my father die, hid all our marital assets in offshore trusts, and made me take birth control every single morning, claiming he wasn't ready for kids.
I didn't scream, and I didn't let him see me break.
Instead, I hired Manhattan's most ruthless divorce lawyer, smiled sweetly as I handed Cooper his coat at home, and began secretly gathering the evidence to burn his entire empire to the ground.

For years, I exhausted myself trying to be the perfect, obedient heiress of the ultra-wealthy Carlisle family.
But my reward wasn't their love. Instead, I was abruptly branded a fake, thrown out of the estate, and sent to a brutal black-site prison to take the fall for someone else's crimes.
My cold CEO brother, Julian, didn't lift a finger to save me. My carefully selected boyfriend, Connor, sold me out without a second thought.
In that maximum-security cell, I was stripped of my dignity. I ate moldy, insect-infested bread, and my soft hands were covered in thick, ugly scars from fighting off murderers.
I watched inmates get beaten half to death over a single cracker, while my so-called family continued their pristine, luxurious lives on the outside.
"She's just a parasite, let her rot."
I died in that dark cell, completely abandoned. The sheer exhaustion of trying to please them, of trying to be flawless, washed over my final moments like a physical sickness.
I didn't understand why my absolute loyalty was repaid with such ruthless cruelty.
Then, water rushed out of my lungs in a violent, burning surge.
I opened my eyes to the pristine blue pool of the Carlisle estate, my body completely unscarred. I had reverted to being fifteen again.
This time, I was done playing the perfect daughter. If my fate was a prison cell, I was going to spend my remaining freedom tearing their perfect world apart.
