AURORAEver since I saw the custody papers, my spirits have been very high. Mom dropped by yesterday afternoon, and she was impressed with how good I was doing prior to the day before that. My sisters have all been calling to check in on me, and so have my friends. Olivia being the closest one here has been coming to my door nearly every hour to see if I'm okay and truly I am. Losing Layla forever broke me but now I have a second chance, one I fully intend on not overlooking. I'm going to love and protect so much, I'm going to be one of those parents clinically obsessed with their children and their joy. I'm going to make sure she knows just how much I appreciate having her in my life, and how wonderful she is as she continues to grow.With everything that's been happening these past few days, I've been so out of touch with reality that I totally forgot about Arabella. She was very supportive, the most supportive of my siblings if I'm being impartial. She's so young yet she more than

EMELIAI never thought I'd say this but I hate my fucking job right now, I hate it. I miss choreographing for the elite dancers, I'm handed with the new dancers who are vying to be the next rumor. The club is falling apart without a Rumor in sight and Caelum has his head too far up his ass to see it's affecting my career and his income too. If it weren't Cinnamon, and Trixie the club might as well have been closed by now.The sex acts are still very popular but not so much when the dancers come into the mix, I mean Cinnamon is good on her own but the moment we try to pair her with a substitute to do Rumor's parts it all goes down hill. The chemistry Cinnamon and Rumor had is unmatched, or maybe it was simply Rumor, she was brutally trained to have chemistry with everyone. You could put her in a room with a dummy doll and still see the explicit, raw chemistry.I'm on the verge of quitting my job at Fantasy Elite, but the knight's sex club isn't much better. With Caelum preoccupied with

SCARLETTI'm at the end of my rope with thinking. I'm honestly, running out of ideas to recoup my marriage to it's previous state. As if it wasn't enough that Caelum and Cassian manipulated and threatened Estelle into giving Aurora the child, he's ignoring me more so lately.Estelle gave back nearly every cent I gave her because she thinks the child's wellbeing is most important and she was an absent mother. I've been relying on the competition to bring her some distress but she nearly won that too, but I made sure she lost. Xenastra is salty she supported a losing brand but she deserves it, for not keeping her cousin under damn control.Caelum, is the biggest of my current problems, he won't help me, help us recoup our marriage. I know for a fact that this is the last month he will be with the stripper and soon, we'll go back to our lives. I'm ready for it, I truly am. I'm committed to him and giving him everything he ever asked for, only now, he doesn't want or seem to in the near f

CAELUMHangovers the night after Halloween are next level for me, my head feels like shit, heavy shit. My eyes flicker open, falling shut every time I try to study my surroundings. Turning to my side I groan in annoyance, my eyes feel nearly as heavy as my head. My weary eyes flicker open, as I prop myself up, that's when I note some things, one I'm not alone and two, I'm naked. My nakedness doesn't startle me but when I see Scarlett next to me. She must be drunk to, but- my mind takes a pause, backtracking what I just saw.Naked, Scarlett.Scarlett? naked? Shit! No, no.I messed up, I must have really fucked up last night. My God, Aurora is not going to like this. How the hell did I end up with Scarlett? I remember being so drunk after the after-party at Eva's home and Cassian or was it Bishop telling me we had to leave. I can't discern who it was but that's not an issue right now, the issue is that I slept with Scarlett. No, no, I couldn't have, maybe she's naked because she was ver

AURORAThe fourth box of yellow roses I've received today is sitting on my coffee table, staring at me, taunting me, and honestly, the scent is becoming nauseating to me. I can't stand to look at the damn flowers, Caelum thinks he's trying to do right with them but he's merely reminding me of the problem I won't face. I cried when he left my apartment and after I was done, I thought back to it. He says he cheated but no he didn't, if anything he cheats on Scarlett with me and yet I'm infuriated.At least I've gotten a break today, he said he had some work to do and I've not heard from him since morning but the flowers keep on coming, and well, at least they come with chocolates. Olivia and I are binge watching her favorite series, while Layla plays with Everleah in her room.“Try this one,” Olivia extends her hand, offering me a piece of chocolate. “It tastes like those blue cheap drinks we used to pretend were hard liquor.”I take the chocolate and nod, spitting it out after tasting
