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 slowly opened her eyes, blinking a few times as the bright hospital lights blurred her vision.
The steady beeping of a heart rate monitor and the soft drip of an IV filled the room.
The familiar voice of Ava reached her ears, pulling her out of the haze.
"Ms. Aurora," Ava called softly, her voice trembling slightly with concern.
The sound of her name snapped Aurora back to reality.
She remembered everything—Lucas, the evidence.
Her eyes flew open in panic, and she tried to sit up, her muscles sore and her energy drained.
Ava quickly approached, her expression alarmed as she gently pushed Aurora back down onto the bed.
"Ms. Aurora, please, you need to rest," Ava urged.
Aurora's body ached, but her mind raced.
"Lucas... the evidence..." she mumbled, trying to push herself up again.
She couldn't afford to be lying here; she had to make sure everything was in place for Lucas.
