Chapter 4 - Humiliation

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 two to enter the house. Julian's mind already became chaotic.

"Is that man the one who is betrothed to Aurora?" Julian discouraged his intention to climb the fence.

Julian put both his hands on her waist while his emotions and thoughts were so chaotic. Julian knew that soon enough, everything he heard in the café would come true. Julian was aware that his position would be eliminated after this.

"No, it shouldn't be." Julian shook his head and dismissed all his bad thoughts.

Julian decided, with all his courage and strength, to run towards the front door of the mansion. Julian met the guards and begged to go inside. Julian only thought that he should go after Aurora and talk to her about this.

"I want to meet with Aurora." Julian pleaded with the guard on the fence in front of Kingsley's house.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Julian. But the Kingsleys are having important guests."

"You guys can't stop me like this. I am Miss Aurora's husband." Julian affirmed with a gasp.

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is an order." Those guards were too strict with Julian.

"AURORA!!" Julian had no choice but to shout the name of his wife, who was in the house. "AURORA, COME OUT!! PLEASE, DON'T DO IT!!"

The guard who listened to Julian's shout also immediately had a gloomy face. The guard immediately pushed Julian and told him to be quiet. However, of course, it did not make Julian give up.

"AURORA! Please come out now!" Julian continued to scream even though his body was pushed back by the guard.

"Mr. Julian, please get out of here! Your presence won't change  anything." The guard had already run out of patience.

Julian's noise finally encouraged the residents of the house to come out. The person who came out first and saw Julian was Felicity. Of course, it made Felicity upset. Felicity ran over and approached Julian with emotions which were already on the line.

"What are you doing here?" Felicity vented all her emotions in one spoken sentence.

"Aurora, I don't want you to marry him." Julian immediately said that sentence as soon as he saw Aurora coming out later than the others.

"Julian," Aurora said with teary eyes.

Without thinking, Aurora immediately tried to run towards Julian. "JULIAN!"

"Stay here!" Isadora ruthlessly pulled Aurora's clothes until Aurora's body couldn't move.

"Julian!" Aurora kept shouting the name while crying and being upset that her body had been held back by Isadora.

Felicity encourages her guard to retreat and then kicks Julian's leg until he falls to the ground. Julian groaned and held the right knee that Felicity had just kicked. Felicity grinned happily while watching Julian droop.

"I don't want to see you here anymore, so leave!" Felicity gave Julian her first warning.

Julian didn't budge at all and instead stared back at Felicity boldly. Julian stood up with his leg still throbbing with pain. Julian was now standing and facing his own mother-in-law.

"I will not let Aurora marry that man." Julian whispered firmly to Felicity.

"What are you going to do, huh? What can you do?" Felicity tightened her voice to a high tone. "You won't be able to do anything; Aurora is getting married tonight. So, don't even dream of coming back here!"

Aurora, who was staring at all of this, could only cry in Isadora's tight embrace. On the other hand, Sebastian, who had agreed to this marriage, could not take back his words. Sebastian could only stand still while watching Julian be blasphemed by his wife.

"GO AWAY OR YOU WILL KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES!" Felicity pointed far back and drove Julian away.

"I'm not leaving." Julian still held his stance. "I won't leave until I can bring Aurora back to me."

Felicity slapped Julian hard across the face. Julian could feel the heat and sting on his right cheek. Julian stood back up and looked straight at Felicity.

"Do it; I will not lift my feet from this place."

Felicity became more furious and then pulled Julian's hair. Felicity pushed Julian to the ground, then kicked him several times in the stomach with her heels. Julian took all the kicks with pain. Not satisfied with that, Felicity squatted down and looked at Julian, who was still moaning in pain. Felicity grabbed Julian’s hair and hit it on the ground quite hard.

"Argh!" Julian immediately felt dizzy, and his eyes saw a lot of fireflies.

"I told you to never come back here again!" Felicity whispered to Julian, who was already semi-conscious.

"JULIAN!" Aurora exerted all her strength until she managed to break free from Isadora.

"Aurora, come back here!" Isadora was overwhelmed and unable to reach Aurora, who had darted away from her.

However, it was Lucas who suddenly ran over and stopped Aurora's movement. Lucas immediately hugged Aurora, who was only a few steps away from Julian. Julian tried to open both of his eyes and search for the remnants of his consciousness. Julian could see Aurora running towards him, but was stopped by that man.

"Aurora," muttered Julian while trying to raise his hand toward Aurora.

"Guards take him out of this place and don't let him come here again." Felicity stood up and left Julian, who was already dying.

"Mama, no! Julian, hang on!" Aurora continued to rebel, cry, and yell at Julian.

Julian was dragged away by the guards and thrown out of the gate.  Meanwhile, Lucas painstakingly carried Aurora back into the house.

"Aurora, calm down," Lucas whispered, trying to be kind to Aurora.

"No, I just want Julian. I don't want to marry you!" Aurora has now firmly refused.

"Aurora, dear, what are you saying?" Felicity tried to speak gently to her daughter.

"I don't want to marry him! I only love Julian!" Aurora declared firmly.

"SHUT UP!" Felicity slapped Aurora hard enough that Aurora fell to the floor.

Everyone was shocked, and within seconds, Felicity took a deep breath before finally helping Aurora. "Honey, I'm sorry. I don’t-"

"No! Go away! I don't want to have a mother like you!" Aurora dismissed Felicity's help while she stood up and ran back into her room.

"AURORA! You can't say that! Mama only wants to give you the best!" Felicity couldn’t hold it anymore. "Besides, you'll be happier if you married Lucas than with that adopted boy! Wake up, Aurora, you deserve more than that hobo!"

Aurora didn't listen to her mother and just closed her bedroom door with a bang. Meanwhile, everyone who witnessed this incident could only remain silent, crying, and stunned. After all of this, Felicity was feeling exhausted and sat down on the sofa while massaging her temples slowly.

"Get out of here and never come back!" The house guard pushed Julian roughly.

Julian had no choice but to leave Kingsley's house. He felt his whole stomach ache and sting, while his head throbbed. Julian didn't realize that his head was also bleeding quite a lot due to the impact of the head banging. Julian could only walk away and find a place to calm down himself.

"Where should I go?" Julian began to ramble with his eyes half-closed.

As soon as Julian arrived at the edge of the big road, his body immediately dropped in front of the closed shops. Julian sat down and then closed his eyes. Within seconds, Julian's consciousness disappeared. Julian had no memory of what happened after that.

Shortly after that, a limousine car stopped in front of Julian. A middle-aged man got out of the car and knelt in front of Julian. He took a piece of paper that was kept in his coat pocket.

"You guys, come here!" The man exclaimed and called the driver and one other bodyguard who came with him. "Quick, go get him into the car!"

"Yes, sir." Without thinking, the two men carried Julian's body and put him in their limousine.

Julian was taken away by the three of them.
