“Hale, send five bodyguards to Serena,” Julian ordered Hale while standing from his position.“Yes, sir.” Hale accepted it without even asking the reason.Julian walked past Hale and jumped into his car, “Give me the key.”Hale gave the key, Julian turned on the engine and drove away from the parking lot, leaving Hale alone. Julian drove his car at full speed and stopped in front of Vanderbilt’s house. Julian didn’t even bother to turn off the engine and just jumped out of the car, leaving the car door open.“Where is Elijah?” Julian asked the security when they stopped Julian at the front gate. “I want to meet him.”“Have you already had an appointment with him?” The security asked like he didn’t know who Julian was.“I don’t need an appointment to meet him,” answered Julian in a stern voice. “ELIJAH, COME HERE YOU BASTARD!”“Sir, please watch your attitude!” The security reminded him and made sure Julian stayed outside.Julian snorted in annoyance and tried to push past him impatien
Julian and Hale jumped out of their car and entered the police station. Julian walked in confidently while his head was full of scenarios. Julian walked into the police workroom and stopped in the middle of the room. The head of police looked at Julian and approached him. “Sir, what can I help you with?” He inquired, focusing his gaze closely on Julian. Julian was looking back with confidence. “I want to find someone who shot Serena Cavendish.” Everyone was looking at him but didn’t really care about it. “Please, sit.” The head of police guided Julian to his table. While walking to his table, Julian looked around and tried to find someone who looked suspicious. But everyone was busy working on their table. Julian and Hale didn’t smell something strange, but they stayed alert. The policeman took a note and sat in front of Julian. “Can you explain the chronological?” “It was two days ago at night when we were having dinner,” explained Julian in detail while he gave a code to Hale t
Julian was sitting alone with Aurora by the pool, sipping wine, and gazing up at the night sky. It's quite chilly, but they're enjoying it together as they play with their feet in the water."Everything feels perfect," Aurora murmured, turning to Julian with a sweet smile.Julian looked back at his wife and clung to her neck, slowly pressing their lips together. After three years of marriage, Julian and Aurora were still drunk in love, like tonight. Their marriage was filled with many obstacles, but they were happy together."Oh, stop you miserable couple." A grumbling voice was heard from behind Aurora and Julian's bodies. Aurora immediately pulled her body away from Julian and glanced in the direction where the voice came from. "What are you doing here, sis?""I also want to look at the stars tonight." Isadora, Aurora's sister, was the one who ruined the atmosphere tonight.Isadora immediately sat down on a poolside chair, wearing her bath towel and a glass of beer in her hand, whi
"Julian!" Aurora stopped in the doorway of her house.Julian, who was already a few meters away from Aurora's position, also stopped. Julian looked back and saw Aurora, his wife, with a sad face. Aurora ran down the stairs and approached Julian."Don't go," she said with her cheeks filled with tears."Aurora, come back here quickly!" Felicity was still following her daughter. "Just let him go; he can't make you happy at all."Aurora seemed to be trying to cover her ears and grabbed Julian's hand. It broke Julian's heart to see Aurora crying silently."Aurora, I will definitely come back when I can prove that I can make you happy.""Aurora, hurry up! Come back here, or do you want to live with a poor man like him?" Felicity continued to make threats."Just go back there, Aurora." Julian whispered, releasing Aurora's grip.Aurora could only cry and was speechless. Julian just walked away without looking back. Aurora fell to her knees without stopping crying."Aurora, let's go inside." I
The next morning, Felicity was taking a spare key for Aurora’s room. Felicity opened up Aurora’s bedroom and closed the door quietly. Felicity walked slowly into Aurora’s bed and sat on the bed while looking at Aurora. Felicity put her body and stroked Aurora’s hair slowly.“Aurora, wake up.” Felicity whispered because she didn’t want to make Aurora surprised.Aurora turned her body and opened her eyes with the remaining strength she had. Aurora saw her mother lying beside her with a little smile. Aurora was eager to avoid Felicity, but her body was too limp to do that. So, Aurora just shut up and tried to close her eyes again."Aurora, get up, it's already early. Do you want to just sleep all day?" Felicity tried to persuade in subtle ways.Aurora nodded her head and kept both eyes closed. Felicity tries to figure out how to wake him up. Felicity didn't want to give up because today, she was going to reunite Aurora with her new husband-to-be. So, inevitably, Aurora had to get up and
Julian, suspicious with the arrival of the two men, decides to guard around the Kingsleys' home. Julian tries to find a way to meet Aurora. Now, he is very worried about Aurora, especially after hearing about her arranged marriage with another man from the women in that cafe."Aurora, where are you?" Julian ran around the mansion like he was exercising, because the mansion was huge.Julian stopped when he saw someone in the backyard who was sitting on a swing. Julian tried to look more carefully before he finally realized that the person was Aurora. Julian tried to bring himself closer and called Aurora's name."Aurora! Dear! Hey!"Aurora couldn't hear it at all. Julian also thought about climbing the fence a little so that his figure could be seen by her. However, Julian unfortunately stopped when he saw a man sitting a few meters away, not far from Aurora's place. Julian remembered that it was the man who got out of that car this morning. Not long after, Isadora came and called the
“Thank God, you finally woke up.” The middle-aged man was smiling when Julian finally opened his eyes.Julian lied on the bed in an unknown place. Julian looked at the man before he looked around the room to guess where he was. The room and the items around Julian looked very luxurious. Julian immediately knew that he was being helped by another rich man by now.“How do you feel? Does anything hurt?" The middle-aged man approached Julian, bent down, and asked with a great concern.Julian's gaze returned to the man, and he shook his head slowly. Julian's lips were still too tired to make a sound."Hurry up and get a doctor!" The man ordered the other man, who had been standing by the door."Yes, sir." The man in black-on-black immediately darted away from this room and called a doctor, just as he ordered to.Julian tried to move his body and tried to sit up."Don't move too much; let the doctor examine you first, sir." The man held Julian's body and prevented him from moving.Finally,
That night, Aurora, Lucas, and their families were busy preparing for their wedding. Aurora can't do anything but comply with her family's wishes. Aurora sat silently in front of the makeup mirror with two makeup artists surrounding her.There was a knock on the door that made Aurora turn her head in an instant. "Hi, can Papa come in?"Aurora nodded her head with a flat expression. Aurora looked back at the mirror and let Sebastian walk over to her. Sebastian stood behind Aurora and flashed a bitter smile. Sebastian felt sad and happy at the same time."You look beautiful, Aurora." Sebastian complimented his daughter.However, Aurora had no intention of reciprocating. Aurora was too sick to accept this fact. Aurora had to marry for a second time to someone she didn't love. Aurora was forced to go along with this for the sake of business, and it had all been planned by her mother, Felicity."Sorry, can you guys leave us alone? I want to talk to my daughter one-on-one." Sebastian asked
