Aurora’s POVAs soon as I stepped out of the company building where I work, a black limousine stopped in front of me. When a man wearing a black suit opened the car door, that’s when I saw Mrs. Lockwood smiling at me.“Hello there, sweetie. Can we hang out for a while?”I smiled at her and bowed my head. “M-Mrs. Lockwood.”“Just call me mom. Come on, hop in.”“O-Okay…”I thought we would be going somewhere, but it turns out we would only go to Timothy’s house.“How was your vacation in the private island? Did you have fun there?”“H-Huh? Oh, yes. We had so much fun there. It’s so beautiful there, actually. Timothy also told me you are the one who gave them that as a gift.”She drank some lemon juice and looked at me again. “That’s true. I bought that for him because I know he often wants to be alone. You know how introverted my son is. Also, he is the kind of guy who always work, so I think that would be the best place for him to unwind and have some fresh air.”“You are such a sweet
Aurora’s POV“Good morning. I am looking for Mr. Liam Hamilton?”I asked the information desk at the management agency.The receptionist looked at me from head to toe before speaking again. “May I know your name? And the reason why you’re looking for Mr. Hamilton?”“I’m from KLC Group. I am the PR leader and I am here to talk to Mr. Hamilton for the upcoming opening of Lockwood Shopping Mall.”“Oh, I see. Just wait at the conference room for a bit. I’ll just call him.”I nodded my head and smiled. “Thanks.”Liam Hamilton is a famous celebrity known for his great acting and singing skills. Many young people admires him and so I proposed to have him as the guest on the grand opening of Timothy’s mall.I have never seen him in personal yet, but I heard he is a mischievous man.The moment the door of the conference room opened, I saw a man just my age wearing a blue denim jacket under a black t-shirt and black pants. He also got a black earring on his left ear, making him look the pop star
Aurora’s POV“Congratulations, team!”Just after the company event, all of us went to a restaurant to celebrate the success of the project.“Mr. Lockwood really is generous, isn’t he? He really treated us here, although he didn’t come here with us.”“Well, for sure he’s not interested to celebrate with us since he is such a workaholic man.”“Oh, have you seen Liam Hamilton? He is so handsome!”“You’re right! Although Mr. Timothy Lockwood is far more handsome than him.”I was just sitting there staring at the food in front of me while listening to my colleagues who were talking about Timothy and Liam. I still can’t get over about what happened last night.Is it really that big deal for me to see that sketch? It’s not as if I have stolen anything from his room.All of a sudden, my phone started to ring. I immediately stood up and went to a corner as I answered the call from an unknown number.“Hello?”“Have you forgotten about our dinner already?”“What dinner are you--“I’ll be waiting
Aurora’s POVNo one was talking between me and Timothy while we were having our dinner. After that night he scolded me, he didn’t talk to me again. He really got mad when I told him about the sketch of a woman inside his room. I didn't expect him to react that way just because of that, but maybe that must be really important to him. “By the way.”Speaking of, Timothy suddenly looked at me and spoke.“H-Huh?”“I’m sorry if I raised my voice last night. I just don’t like it when people go through my things. I didn’t mean to be rude.”I shook my head. “No, it’s actually my fault. I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have asked you those things.”“By the way, Liam Hamilton went to my office this morning.”That guy again.“You already signed the contract.”“Yes, and he asked about you.”My eyes widened in surprise. “W-What?”“He asked me if you already have a boyfriend.” Timothy said without any emotion on his face.“That pervert…” I mumbled.“Look, if he is trying to do something bad to you
Aurora's POVShit! Why did I even forget about time?! As soon as I arrived at Timothy's home, I saw him sitting on the couch with his arms crossed as if he was a father waiting for his daughter."T-Timothy. Why are you still awake? You didn't have to wait for me.""Where did you go?" he asked without any emotion on his face.I paused for a while, trying to think of a very good alibi that I could use. "Me and my colleagues went on a dinner together. We didn't notice the time, so--"Really?""H-Huh? O-Of course. That's the truth." He looked straight into my eyes. The way he stared at me made me feel so nervous. "Then what are those?"Suddenly, I saw some photos on the center table. I looked closer to see them clearly, and I was surprised when I realized that it was actually me and Liam. "W-Wait, where did you--"That's Liam Hamilton, right? Are you going out with him?" he asked again. This time, the tone of his voice sounded mad. I shook my head. "W-Wait, I think you misunderstand
Aurora’s POV I took a deep breathe as I grabbed my bag. This is it. I’m going to tell Timothy that I want our fake marriage to stop. I just want to live a peaceful life. “You can do it, Aurora.” I mumbled to myself. As soon as I stepped out of my apartment, many people holding huge cameras welcomed me. My eyes widened upon realizing they were all from media. What are they doing here? How did they know I live here? “Miss Aurora, is it true that you and Liam Hamilton are dating?” “Where did you guys meet?” “Did you pursue him?” “Is he your first love?” “Miss Aurora!” All of them were blocking my way that I don’t even know how to escape. “Miss Aurora, please answer our question!” “Miss Aurora!” “Please, I have to go. I don’t have time to answer your questions.” I said, hoping that they would finally stop. But instead of doing that, they just ignored me and kept on taking photos and asking me questions. “So, that means you really have a relationship with Mr. Hamilton?” a bl
Aurora’s POV“Dad, why are you doing this to Timothy?” I asked dad while looking at Timothy who was busy making a pot out of a clay. That has been my dad’s business ever since. I already told him to stop making pots and just enjoy his life since I can just give him some money, but he always refuse.“That’s his punishment for making you cry last night. Also, if he wants me to trust him, then he must show me that he could protect you when I am not around.”“But he’s not used to making pots. He is a CEO of a huge company.”Dad frowned. “Come on. He can do it if he has patience. Who cares if he’s a CEO? By the way, you still have to go to work, right? Go now.”“Dad, don’t make him work too much.”“Fine, fine. Go on now.”Before leaving, I walked over to Timothy who was busy molding a pot that kept on getting ruined.“Timothy, aren’t you going to work already?” I asked him.He looked at me. “It’s alright. Are you going to work now?”“Yes.”“Goodbye and take care.”“Thanks.”***“You mean,
Aurora’s POV“I can’t believe you really agreed to stay at our house. Were you even able to sleep properly last night? We only have one bed since dad usually wants to sleep on the floor with a futon.” I said as Timothy and I were heading to the market to buy some ingredients for our lunch. He really took off a vacation just so he could continue molding a pot.Timothy just shrugged. “Well, I wasn’t able to sleep immediately, but I find it more peaceful here to be honest.It’s like a small city far from the noisy streets of New York.”“You’re right. That is also one of the reasons why I always spend my days at my dad’s home whenever I can.”“You and your dad surely get along well, don’t you?”I nodded as I smiled. “”Yup. Ever since I was a kid, dad was the one who takes care of me. He’s the one who attends errands at school and prepares breakfast for me. He is the best dad a daughter could ever ask for.”“I can see that. I can see that your father is a good man.”“He is.”As soon as we a
