Aurora's POV:-

I woke up in a squishy bed and sat up slowly.
Aiden was sleeping on a couch in front of my bed, shirtless. A bandage covered the lower part of his torso, just above his waist.
His bare body was surely irresistible.

A tattoo on his bicep was like a sign I saw for the first time. But wait, I just remembered something.
I kissed him. Was it a dream? No, I had seen blood on him at that time in the same area.

Every detail is stabbing me sharply, and now I am drowning in an ocean of embarrassment.

~No, Cara, just your dream guy messing with you.~

Flushed, I thought, what the heck, he said this and my stupid response was, "It makes sense."

Oh my God, please swallow me into the depths of hell. I can't face him.

But I guess there's no choice left. Aiden woke up, just like a little cub. He took a small yawn and blinked a few times before figuring everything out. He stood up, came to my side, got on his knees, and said, "Are you okay now, Cara?" He expressed worry for me.

My heart started racing faster. As I started getting up from the bed, my idiotic self stumbled, but soon enough I stood still. I slowly grabbed his arm to help him stand up.

A small grunt left his mouth. "You should be careful with your wounds, Aid," I said.
No wonder he seemed so big in front of me yet pulled me closer effortlessly at that time.

I was about to mention the kiss,
but he interrupted,"This all happened to you because of me. I couldn't have forgiven myself if something had happened to you."

"I know, but I wanted to tell you something too...

An old man came over and said something to the other members in a native language. Then he stepped closer to me, held my chin tightly, and said, "You are precious to him," and laughed." I told him.

Aiden looked at me with those chilling grey eyes, the same look he gave that guy on my birthday.
It made my skin crawl.

But then he closed his eyes for a minute. When he looked again, his soft, caring self had returned.

His hand touched my cheek, and he said,
"Don't worry, Cariad. Everyone will pay the price for their actions, but you don't have to get dragged into all this. Now, please stay away from me for your own good. Leave that asshole and see what awaits you. Find someone compatible for yourself."

Wow, compatible? He is the one who showed me what affection really feels like and what effort truly means. And now he wants to break contact with me? Maybe I'll do it.

The first thing I will do is break my ties with Cole.

But now, anger is running through my veins.

"You remember the thing you said in the car?" I asked.

"Ye-yes, everything," he stammered for the very first time, looking down at his feet.

"I am so dumb," I said, pulling him by the neck towards me and kissing him. His eyes widened.

Then, slightly pulling himself back, he looked into my eyes and said, "Fuck it." He grabbed my waist, pressing his body against mine.

It wasn't considered kissing but rather eating or devouring.

The way he sucked and bit my lower lip brought me to the edge.
His tongue met mine, and his hand moved from my waist to the back of my neck.
As the kiss deepened, it left me breathless. I pulled back, covering my mouth with one hand while the other remained on his neck.

I ignored the bulge in his pants.

Not wanting to feel humiliated, I said without meeting his eyes,"Think of it as closure of feelings."

He looked at me with anger flaring his grey eyes, as if it were my fault, and nodded in agreement.

Leaving him standing there, I went outside the room.

🖤🖤🖤

A man wearing glasses and a doctor's coat was tending to Jimmy, and both of them were cursing at each other.

The conversation stopped when I entered the room. Jim stood up quickly and asked with concern, "Are you better now?"

I nodded.

"Can you please call a cab for me?" I asked him. Then a voice called from behind.

"You'll lose consciousness again, miss. Wait for a few more hours," the doctor said.

"Okay," I replied.

Jim then patted my head and said, "Don't worry, Bella and Christine are coming for you."

He is just like a brother to me.

And my stupid eyes wouldn’t stop crying as tears filled them.

"Th-thank you so much, big bro," I said, and he smiled.

Then Aiden came into the room.

"We will go on vacation tomorrow," he said.

The doctor and Jim looked at each other and then at Aiden, nodding in agreement.

Hesitant to meet his gaze, I hurried back to the room.

Maybe it's our last meeting; it’s fate.

Now
I will clean up the mess I've made in my life and cherish every moment on my own.
