Aurora Tempest : Her Revenge Chapter 1 Aurora

CHAPTER ONE - AURORA

I'm sick-that much is true. What I thought was the flu or a flyby cold has turned out to be something more. My body seizes suddenly and I cough violently into the handkerchief. My eyes widen with fear when I pull away the material and find it stained with blood.

"Aurora, are you alright?"

I don't turn immediately. Quickly, I fold up the handkerchief and stash it away in my pocket. A smile spreads on my face as I face Sylas.

"I'm fine."

He approaches me, his emerald eyes softening with concern. "Are you sure? You don't look so good."

I nod, forcing my smile to look more assuring even as I feel the fatigue spreading across my body. "Just a little cough. I think I caught something."

He gives me a disbelieving look. "It didn't sound like a little cough just now."

After being friends and partners for close to a decade, he knows me more than anyone else in this building. I lift my shoulders and square my face to hide my tiredness.

He stops a foot away from me, the afternoon sun lighting up his pale blond hair and sharp aristrocratic features.

"When was the last time you saw a doctor?" His voice though gentle sounds like a reprimand.

It used to annoy me when he talked to me in such a manner, then I got to know the real Sylas underneath the crisp suits and aloof demeanour. My gaze shifts from his face to the calendar on the wall, marked with red.

I don't have the time. Dorian keeps making doctor's appointments for me but I'm needed here. I've come to far to let a minor cold wreck my plans.

But it's not a simple cold, the thought sends a chill down my legs, and I feel the bloody handkerchief.

"I'll see a doctor next week, I've been busy with the merge." I say finally, watching his mouth press into a tight frown.

"I don't see how the merge is stopping you from going to the doctor."

I laugh dryly. "I'm the CEO, Sylas. It's my job to make sure everything runs smoothly. We can't afford to lose this merge and you know that."

"That doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of yourself, Aurora," he snaps suddenly.

On a good day, I would give him a proper fight but as we're talking, I'm growing more tired. It becomes a battle to keep my shoulders straight.

"I know." My voice comes out more quiet than I intend.

"And your husband?"

Before I can retort and tell him not to involve Dorian, he cuts me off.

"Hasn't he seen you like this? Doesn't he know his duty is to take care of you?" He spits angrily, fury etching sharp lines on his face.

For a moment, I'm stunned into silence. Sylas rarely got angry with me. Over the years, we would fight about company policy and investments but we did that goodnaturedly. There has never any badblood between us. We've known each other since we were teens and after college decided to be partners despite running two different companies.

I don't understand his anger.

"First off, don't talk about my husband," I say sharply, anger pushing away my fatigue. "I don't care that you don't like him. I love Dorian and he takes care of me."

"Look at you, Aurora! You're pale! If I were your husband I'd drag you to the hospital myself."

"But you're not my husband," I fire back.

"No, I'm your partner and friend. Your wellbeing is top priority."

"I said I'm fine."

Sylas sighs in exasperation and mutters, "So damn stubborn."

He narrows his eyes at me as if he could see how tired I am and shakes his head. "Go see a doctor after the meeting."

I want to argue. I have lunch plans with an investor but the hard glare he gives me snaps my mouth shut.

I allow my shoulder deflate. "Fine."

He raises a hand absently and rubs my shoulder. "Thank you."

I cover his hand with miine and a warm smile pulls my mouth. "Next time you yell at me I'll break your nose."

He chuckles. "Take care of yourself and we won't have a problem." A shadow suddenly crosses his face as his gaze strays to the large diamond on my finger. He slowly drops his hand and the grin wipes from his face. He gestures to the door.

"The meeting is about to start. But I can have them reschedule if you're not up to it."

We both know what's at stake. Even as he says it, I catch the hopeful sound in his voice. He wants me to be strong enough to have the meeting. Everyone depends on me and I can't let them down.

Taking a deep breath, I shove away the fatigue. "Let's do this."

By the time the meeting is done and the merge has been finalized, I can barely keep my eyes open.

The applause in the conference room makes my head ring. Everyone wears big smiles while I struggle to see straight.

I don't see Sylas until I feel his hand gripping my elbow, leading me away from the noise.

"Doctor. Now," he orders, gently putting me in the backseat of my car.

"Take me home first," I tell my driver as I lean back on the head rest, a haze settling over my mind. Dorian always accompanies me to the hospital. I hate going by myself.

With his remote work and his cousin visiting, he stays home most of the time.

Soon I'm stumbling up the front steps of our house.

"Dorian," I call out weakly. My voice doesn't travel far and I urge my legs forward.

I check the kitchen first and stop cold at the sight before me.

"Oh baby... YES...right there..." breathy moans pour out of his cousin's lips, her eyes closed in ecstasy, her hand digging into thick black hair.

Kneeling before her with his face buried inbetween her thighs is my husband.

"D-Dorian?"

His head jerks up swiftly and he freezes when sees me.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
