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.
A few days later, the door to a quiet, softly lit private room opened.
An elderly woman, seated in a wheelchair with a blanket draped over her lap, looked up with an air of gentle elegance.
Her silver hair was neatly brushed, and a gentle smile played on her lips, though her eyes held a glimmer of surprise.
The nurse, dressed in a calming blue uniform, stepped into the room and spoke in a warm, soft voice, "Mrs. Rossi, you have a visitor."
Nana Rossi's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "A visitor?" she echoed, her voice faint but filled with anticipation.
The nurse nodded, stepping aside as a familiar figure walked in.
Aurora moved gently into the room, her gaze settling on Nana Rossi.
She took in the sight of the beloved woman who had been such a strong presence in her life.
The nurse had told her about Nana Rossi's health, but seeing her in person stirred something deep in Aurora's heart.
