Aurora Grey thought she could win her husband, Lucas Rossi's heart, even if it took years. For three long years, she endured his coldness, hoping that one day he would see her as more than just a convenient substitute. But when she reads the headlines announcing Lucas’s return to the city with his ex-girlfriend, Julia Mayhem, the truth hits her like a dagger—she never had a place in his heart. Lucas's affection had always belonged to Julia, and now that she’s back, Aurora knows her time is up. No longer willing to be the woman in the shadows, Aurora takes control of her fate. With a sharp resolve, she demands a divorce, choosing to reclaim her dignity rather than watch the man she loves cherish someone else. But Lucas Rossi isn’t a man who easily lets go of what he considers his. The moment Aurora steps out of his life, he realizes just how deeply she had entwined herself in his heart. Driven by a need to reclaim what he’s lost, Lucas tracks her down, determined to make her see that she belongs with him—and no one else.
Aurora stepped into the lounge elevator, her guards flanking her as the doors slid shut.
She stared straight ahead, calm and composed, though her mind briefly wandered back to the confrontation with Sophia.
The elevator descended swiftly, and moments later, the doors opened into the hotel lobby.
As Aurora stepped out with her guards, she heard a sharp hiss, like a snake spitting venom.
Her eyes darted to the side, where Madam Rossi, Lucas's mother, stood by the front desk, her face twisted in contempt.
Next to her was Lucas's sister, Nora, arms crossed and a sneer on her lips.
Nora didn't hesitate to make her thoughts known.
"I told you, Mum," she said, her tone dripping with disdain. "Look at her—already sharing beds with wealthy men to gain power and attention. It's just like I expected. And of course, she comes to this hotel."
