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.
Nana Rossi's mansion was filled with cheerful hustle and bustle of birthday preparations.
Streamers, balloons, and decorations were already half done from the night before, but Aurora had come early with Aria and Leo to give it the finishing touches.
And tagging along—excitedly bouncing with energy—was Caleb, thrilled at the chance of celebrating his Great Nana's birthday.
Aurora directed the kids as they gathered around the table laden with supplies.
"Alright, we've got streamers, balloons, flowers… and I think Nana will love those ribbon curls we're putting up by the windows," she said, smiling at their eager little faces. "Who's ready to help me make this the best birthday Nana's ever had?"
"Me!" Aria and Leo shouted in unison, raising their hands and giggling as they exchanged grins.
Caleb nodded solemnly, keeping his eye on the ribbons. He loved birthdays, but he wasn't so sure about sharing his Great Nana with Aria and Leo.
