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 away the grogginess.
As her vision cleared, she noticed Ava sitting beside her.
Ava's face lit up with a gentle smile.
"You're awake," Ava said softly.
Aurora nodded and slowly sat up, her body still aching from the delivery.
Ava quickly moved to assist her, adjusting the pillows behind Aurora's back for support.
"Thank you," Aurora murmured.
Ava then carefully lifted the baby girl from the crib nearby, placing the tiny bundle into Aurora's arms.
"She's beautiful," Ava whispered, her eyes softening. "She looks just like Sir Lucas."
Aurora's gaze fell upon her daughter, and her heart melted.
The baby had delicate features, her cheeks rosy and soft, with a tiny tuft of dark hair atop her head.
But it was the baby's eyes that caught Aurora's breath—those piercing blue eyes, the same vivid blue that Lucas had.
