Aurora
Aurora stared at the message for a long, long time.
The next morning, she lit a fire downstairs and burned all the contents of that box.
The burning love that had raged within her for eight years turned to ashes along with the box.
Sebastian Hawthorne, I will do as you wish.

“Bella, do you realize your mistake?” Yale’s icy voice crashed down like a hammer. I felt a heat wash over me, my mind barely hanging on. After three years in prison, bullied and beaten down, I instinctively slammed my head against the ground.

After a two–day weekend, Aurora arrived at the office on time.
She handled her work as usual, notifying Sebastian of an upcoming meeting.
Approaching his office, she saw Isabelle Monroe through the slightly ajar door.
She was sitting in Sebastian’s lap, feeding him half of her cookie.
The man, known for his cleanliness, smiled and ate it, affectionately kissing her fingers, his tone gentle.
“You were craving this dessert yesterday, so I queued for three hours this morning to get it for you. How is it?”
“It’s delicious, just as sweet and not too rich as before. You used to buy it for me often, but now that you’re the CEO, why do you still go yourself? Just ask a secretary to do it.”
Sebastian gently rubbed her ankle, his eyes brimming with affection. “Anything related to you, I want to do it myself, I don’t want to delegate it to
anyone.”
A sweet smile appeared on Isabelle’s face, she took the initiative to hug him and kissed him.
He embraced her back, deepening the kiss, lost in it.
Seeing this, Aurora’s breath hitched, a pang of bitterness spreading through her chest.
She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles white, her palms bloody.
Time ticked by, the meeting was about to begin..
Aurora calmed herself, and knocked on the door.
“Mr. Hawthorne, the meeting is about to start.”
Hearing her voice, Sebastian paused slightly, about to get up, but Isabelle pulled him back.
“I don’t want you to leave, stay with me a little longer.”
Seeing her act cute, Sebastian’s heart melted.
“Postpone the meeting for two hours.”

This meeting discussed a project crucial for the future development of the company, involving a collaboration with several major Washington, D.C.
Aurora knew its significance, but couldn’t help but remind him.

“I said, postpone it for two hours, nothing is more important than Isabelle!”
Aurora felt a tightness in her chest, struggling to breathe.

The Hawthorne Family was powerful. Although the CEOs had objections, they dared not criticize Sebastian,
She dared not retort, only bowing her head and taking their scolding.
After two grueling hours, Sebastian finally arrived.
As she walked out of the meeting room, her legs numb, she was stopped by Isabelle.

“You’re Aurora Lancaster? Sebastian said you make great coffee. I see everyone in the office looks tired, go and prepare a cup for everyone. Mine, iced
and no sugar.”
Aurora knew that Isabelle was acting imperious relying on Sebastian’s favoritism, and dared not disobey, so she went to the break room.
It took her two hours to brew over 400 cups of coffee, carefully carrying them one by one.
But Isabelle had barely taken her first sip when her face changed, and she threw the cup at Aurora.
The hard mug smashed into Aurora’s forehead, creating a gruesome wound.
She groaned, her whole face crumpled in pain, clutching her wound and falling to the ground.
Isabelle wasn’t finished. She picked up cup after cup of coffee and kept throwing them at Aurora.
Her body was bruised and battered, shards of ceramic creating cuts that bled.
Brown coffee soaked her, mingling with the scarlet drops of blood on the floor.
She was in excruciating pain, but could only curl up, protecting her head and heart.
The office was silent, no one dared to intervene, all watching Isabelle’s tantrum from afar.
Soon, the commotion attracted Sebastian.
He saw the mess on the floor, and Aurora lying there, battered and bruised, his brows furrowed.
“What happened?”
Seeing him, Isabelle immediately put on a pitiful look. “Sebastian, I asked your secretary to make me a coffee, I have my period, and she added ice to my cup, my stomach hurts so much.”
Seeing her reddened eyes, Sebastian’s face turned dark.
“You’ve been with me for four years, and you can’t even do this simple task right? Or do you have
a
problem with Isabelle, deliberately targeting her?”
Aurora lifted her pale face, wanting to explain, but he didn’t give her a chance, directly calling an assistant.
“Aurora Lancaster violated company regulations. You’re docked this month’s salary and quarterly bonus, and will receive a company–wide reprimand, and give a public apology at next week’s meeting.”

With that, Sebastian took off his coat, hugged Isabelle
and left.
