Lord Frederick’s POVAs I watched her leave, An uncomfortable feeling hit my chest, but I ignored it and continued eating. Realizing I had lost my appetite, I decided to leave the table.Entering my sex room, I met Casandra seated on the bed. When she saw me walking in, she smiled at me and got up on her feet.“You seem so desperate to see me; were you missing me that much?” She teased, but I only groaned and sat in the armchair. “Undress!” I demanded. With a smirk playing on her face, she slowly undressed and was left with her matching set of white undies. I glared at her half-naked body. I didn't desire to have sex with her, but I knew I was left with no choice. If I want to get Aurora out of my head, then I have to fuck Casandra so hard that everything that turns me on about Aurora will be deleted from my memory.“What else should I do, my lord?” She spoke in her usual submissive voice, and I groaned. “Come to me on your knees.”Obediently, she fell on her knees and crawled to me.
Aurora's POVJealous? I was more than that. I was angry, pissed, and pained. He had sex with a woman, and he expected me to be happy about it? I couldn’t stop imagining things in my head. I thought about how lucky the lady was. I mean, she gets to have sex with Lord Frederick, something I will never be able to do, and the thought of that was a hard pill for me to swallow. Watching another woman have him while I can't have him was torture for me, and yet he was rubbing it in my face.I could see curiosity in his eyes as he waited for me to respond to his question, but of course, I couldn’t tell him the truth. I couldn’t tell him that I was so jealous and wished I was in her position. I wished I was the one beneath him while he fucks me until I pass out. I wished I could tell him how I longed for his touch, how I wished I could tell him how I longed to kiss him, to wrap myself in his arms and have him to myself. But of course, I knew I couldn’t. All these were secrets I was going to kee
Aurora's POVAustin seemed taken aback by my words; I believe he never expected me to say such a thing to him. “Are you for real? Or is this some sort of test?” He didn't seem to believe it. I sipped my drink, dropped back the cup on the table, and looked him straight in the eye. “This is for real, Austin. I want to fuck you, but the problem now is, do you want the same?” I threw that question at him and saw him uncomfortably swallow his spit, then he took a sip of his beer before looking my way. “Are you sure about this?” He was still finding it difficult to believe. “If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have invited you here. Besides, if you don't want it, then I can look for someone else,” I said, sounding apprehensive. Austin glanced at me for a moment before nodding. “I would love to,” he said excitedly, and I nodded. “Good! We will meet tomorrow then, the location is up to you.” I got up and flashed him a weak smile. “Bye.” Without waiting for him to say a word, I walked out of the bar
Aurora's POVEntering the exquisite hall, I was awed by what I saw. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. The dim lighting added to the mystery of the masked party, making it feel like we were stepping into a different world.“This is amazing!” Sophie exclaimed, and I hummed in agreement.“Come on, let's mingle,” Sophie pulled me along as we mingled with the crowd, sipping on cocktails and admiring the extravagant decorations. Everywhere we looked, there were people in elaborate masks and glamorous outfits, adding to the allure of the event.“Look around, you might catch a big fish,” Sophie whispered, and I scoffed. “Stop sounding like a slut,” I murmured and laughed. “Well, I am a slut, it's you who isn't,” she smirked atme, and I shook my head.As I sipped my drink, I scanned the room, observing people conversing with each other. I noticed everyone was wearing masks except for a certain man dressed in a gray suit.“That's De Mino,” S
Aurora's POVDe Mino raised a concerning brow at me. “Is everything okay?” He asked, and I gulped, shifting my gaze away from the door towards him.“Yes, it's just that…” I stuttered, pulling away from him. “I need to use the restroom,” I excused myself before he could say a word. Luckily, I located the restroom and took out my phone from my purse. I dialed Sophie's number several times, but she didn't pick up. Feeling frustrated, I stood before the mirror, contemplating what to do. My godfather was in there, and there was no way he wouldn't recognize me, even with the mask. He knew me too well not to recognize me at first glance.“What do I do?” I murmured, panicking as I nervously tapped my feet on the floor. I thought of how angry he would be if he found me here, and then a silly thought came to me. I frowned at my sudden change of attitude. Why was I acting so scared of him when I should be a pain in the ass for him? In fact, I shouldn't be panicking here; I should do something t
Lord Frederick’s POVI didn’t know when I lost control, and my hand landed on her face. It was something I had never done and would never do in my right senses. I lost control of myself and didn’t realize I had lifted my hand on her. At first, she was stunned by the slap as she held on to the part of her cheek I had hit. She lifted her gaze to hold mine, and I realized her eyes were filled with tears. Just the sight of that broke me into a thousand pieces, and all the anger in me vanished away and was replaced with guilt.“Aurora…” I tried calling as I took a step closer to her, but she shook her head as a strand of tears fell on her cheek. “You have no right to hit me, you have no fucking right.” She cried out and ran up the stairs. For a moment, I didn’t move. Instead, I just stood at the spot as guilt and pain washed over me. I didn’t believe I had lifted my head on Aurora. I could do anything to her, but not hit her; she was my precious little girl.“Damn it!” I grunted and clim
Lord Frederick’s POV Entering my room, I dialed De Mino’s line and he picked up.“Fred, I had no idea that girl was connected to you in any way,” he spoke before I could say a word.“Now you do, so I would appreciate it if you stayed away from her. I want you far away from her, understood?”“Sure, that isn’t a problem. We don’t need to fight over this,” he pleaded.“I hope so,” I ended the call and threw the phone back on the bed. I undressed and took a quick shower before returning to my room, where I found my phone ringing. Picking it up, I realized it was Ian, Aurora’s father.“What’s up?” I muttered the moment I picked up the call.“Nothing much, I just called to know if you struck the deal at the party,” he asked, and I sighed. I had totally forgotten that I was supposed to strike a deal at the masked party.“No, something came up, but don’t worry about it,” I assured Ian, who hummed and went silent for a moment before he spoke. “How is Aurora? She has refused picking up my call
Lord Frederick's POV I found her seated at the dining table, already having breakfast. Our eyes met, and she flashed a welcoming smile at me, warming my heart while memories of my dream replayed in my head. “Good morning,” she greeted cheerfully, seeming to be in a good mood. “Morning, sunshine,” I replied, not realizing when that slipped out of my lips. I saw her eyes light up, and she blushed and looked away, making me wonder if it was really my words that had such an effect on her. “You seem to be in a good mood this morning,” I asked curiously as I took my seat across from her. “Come on,” she rolled her eyes. “Is it a crime to be in a good mood?” She murmured and scoffed. “You know that's not what I meant. Is that you look unusually happy…” I trailed off and saw her shrug her shoulders. “Well…” she trailed off and held my gaze, giving me the opportunity to hold on to her bright sea-blue eyes. She seemed to be glowing this morning, and I couldn’t tell what had happened last ni
