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.
Back in the hospital ward, Aurora reached for her phone and dialled Ava's number.
The line rang twice before Ava picked up, her voice immediately laced with concern.
"Aurora? Oh my goodness, I just saw the news about your accident! Are you alright?"
Aurora smiled at the genuine worry in her assistant's voice. "I'm fine, Ava. Really. Nothing too serious."
Ava let out a relieved sigh. "I'm so glad to hear that. You gave me a scare. Where are you right now?"
"I'm still at the hospital, but they're letting me go soon," Aurora replied. "But enough about me. Where are you? I haven't seen you around."
There was a pause on the line before Ava answered, her tone softer. "I'm with my dad. His nurse called me last night and said I needed to come to the hospital right away. He wasn't doing too well."
Aurora's heart sank at the news. "Oh no, Ava. I'm so sorry to hear that. How's he doing now?"
