Chapter 105
Aurora
I remained in the corridor after Damon and his Beta left, replaying the scene in my head over and over again.
My back was pinned against the cold wall, my eyes tightly shut as I tried to recollect the places he touched me.
In a flash of light, the sparks resurfaced.
I felt my cheeks burn in a bright shade of red as butterflies started to churn in my tummy.
It felt so good.
The way his fingertips brushed against my skin made goosebumps sweep through me.
I had a tough time fighting hard for self-control.
It was hard to breathe around him,
especially when he started acting all sweet.
Thank goodness Jasper was with us…we could have allowed our feelings to overtake us because it was obvious that we were hanging on by a tiny thread of self-control.
I could hear his words echo in my head. It was filled with care and concern.
And his eyes? They made me almost get lost in their warmth.
I smiled sheepishly when I remembered how he almost strangled Rosa to death because she laid her fingers on me.
I squeaked in excitement as a dirty thought floated in my head.
I would love his arms fastened around my throat during hot sex.
But a strange feeling settled in the pit of my gut. Everything didn’t make sense.
A mixture of shock and anxiety washed over me as the scene replayed in my head.
His sudden dangerous outburst baffled me. I had seen Damon angry several times but I had never seen him consumed by his anger.
It was scary.
Why would Damon strangle Rosa?
The more I tried to think of the reason for his actions, the more my head was blank.
Damon was unpredictable.
It was hard to tell if he strangled Rosa because she was mean to me or not.
Did he do it because he cared about me?
A bitter laughter rolled off my dry throat as sad memories crashed over me.
Of course not. Though his eyes held a great deal of care as he tried to nurse my bruised neck, I could sense his betrayal and hurt.
He hasn’t forgiven me.
It breaks my heart that he still believes that I was an infidel despite how hard I tried to prove my innocence.
I didn’t even know if he was happy to see me.
One minute, he acted as if he cared, the next minute, he behaved as if controlled by dark forces.
Sadness engulfed my heart as tears began to gather around my eyes.
There was nothing I would do that would make him believe me.
To him, I was a cheat. He would never see me beyond that.
Anger flared within me at the thought that I was framed.
Fuck!
My coming back isn’t for fun. I would make sure to sniff out anyone responsible for turning the relationship between Damon and me sour. They won’t go unpunished.
I would give them a taste of their medicine.
I swear by the Moon goddess, that I would prove Damon wrong.
My jaws tightened as anxiety overwhelmed me. I couldn’t wait for Damon’s apology when he learned the truth.
Tears were flowing down my eyes freely now as I slumped to the floor slowly. My back rested against the wall and my head was buried between my thighs.
His stupid apology won’t bring back my son.
I missed him…his fragile kicks against my stomach wall and slight movement.
Despite not seeing him, I fell in love with him every day.
I sniffed hard, wiping my tear-stained face before standing to my feet.
Thanks to Damon’s impatience and rash decisions.
Brooding won’t bring him back. I had to be strong for him.
But could I ever be strong?
I couldn’t even look Damon in the eye as I was afraid to burst into tears.
Old times came crashing on me like a bulldozer.
I couldn’t believe we were once close, but now we were like strangers.
Snap out of it Aurora, he killed your son!
Those words crushed my spirit as my hands tightened around my stomach.
I hate him.
I hated him for believing the trash Rosa spewed about trying to elope with Ray and deceiving him about the paternity of the child.
Goddess knows how I tried to defend myself but he wouldn’t listen.
It was Rosa’s words against mine.
I was powerless.
The air around me got tense. My brows shut up as reality dawned on me.
I could swear it was Rosa who framed me.
Since she hated me, she would do anything to get me out of the way.
The way she lied against me effortlessly in Damon’s presence convinced me that she was the one who set me up.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
But it was a baseless allegation.
I couldn’t accuse her until I caught her red-handed.
A smirk curved around my lips as an idea popped into my head.
Rosa and Ray were on my list.
My eyes would be glued to them like a hawk.
I would go closer to Ray to get more information from him. It was certain that the person using Ray was in the castle. However, I had to be careful not to have my head on a plate.
I didn’t want anyone to misunderstand my closeness with Ray.
It was a miracle that he was alive despite the news of his death.
My brows creased in confusion as I tried to digest my words.
How could Ray be alive when Damon killed him and fed him with his dick?
Were my ears deceiving me or was I misunderstanding things?
Something isn’t right. I could feel it right from the day I stepped into the castle.
Why was Sila’s face covered with a horrid expression when we met?
I couldn’t miss the way he pinned me with a death glare before whispering something to a guard.
I could feel it in my bones that he was part of those who were responsible for framing me to get me out of the picture.
But why Silas?
My eyes widened as I froze on a spot in shock.
It all made sense now.
Silas was Rosa’s uncle and he would do anything for his niece to be the King’s mistress and get rid of any obstacle hindering her.
My body started to tremble in fear as I started to put all the pieces together.
Everything became clearer to me.
A mean expression crossed my face, making it harden.
Whether delayed or swift, justice would be served.
They will pay with the last drop of their blood!
