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.
Upon hearing the name "Rossi," Aurora hissed softly, memories flashing through her mind—Nora and Madam Rossi confronting her in the hotel, accusing her of sharing beds with wealthy men.
The bitterness from that day lingered, but Aurora had learned to shrug off their spiteful remarks.
She sat back on the bed, her body relaxing into the soft covers as if she didn't have a care in the world.
Ava, still standing in the middle of the room, was stunned by Aurora's calm demeanor.
Aurora waved a hand dismissively at her.
"Forget about it," she said, her voice casual. "Anything involving Madam Rossi and Nora Rossi is nothing to worry about. They only try to peck at me, annoy me. That's all."
Ava shook her head, stepping closer. "No, ma'am, it's different from what you think it is. It's an emergency message from Nana Rossi."
Aurora's face immediately changed.
