AURORA'S POV
"Okay, I will meet you tomorrow." She says and put the phone on the nightstand.
"Who are you meeting tomorrow?" I ask turning her around to face me.
"Evelyn, we are going to find matching heels for her wedding dress." She replies wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Okay but right now I have to tell you something." I let out not wanting waste anymore time.
"What is it?" She asks while I sit on the bed pulling her on my lap.
"I have an important meeting to attend in Boston so I am leaving next week and I want you to come with me." I tell her.
"But what will I be doing there? You will be busy in your meeting and also I can't leave the bakery alone." She replies.
"You can explore the city by yourself while I attend my meeting and then we will together go to sight seeing." I answer.
"Then what about the bakery?" She asks.
"I am sure Parker and Claire will be able to look after the bakery for some days. Still, if you think that they won't be enough then I can arrange a few helpers." I let out but she shakes her head in response.
"I don't think that will be necessary because Parker and Claire are very good at their jobs. I just don't feel like going to Boston." She says looking down.
"Why? Don't you feel comfortable with me?" I ask because this is one thing that keep running through my mind.
"No, don't think like that. It's just I have never gone out of state and also I don't want to disturb you." She says making me wonder why she thinks that she will be disturbing me.
"Why are you saying that?" I ask.
"Matthew never took me with him saying that I would disturb him during his work. So, I used to be staying alone a lot of time after our marriage." She replies looking sad while I feel like ripping apart that scoundrel. But no right now because right now my precious needs to be assured that she doesn't need to do what she she did in the past."
The first thing you have to remember is that I am not Matthew and I can never make you feel like you're disturbing me. It's me who told you to come to Boston so you shouldn't think like that. I know that there are many different thoughts going on in your mind because of what happened in your past. But that does not mean that you will not enjoy your present or your future according to your own accord." I say while caressing her soft baby like skin of her face.
"Can I think about it for some time?" She asks with hesitation.
"I would have said that take as much as time you need but as I have told you before I need to go there by the next week. So, you only have seven days to take your decision." I reply kissing the side of her head.

I look out of the window of the living room from where I can see the rain pouring in full speed. One minute the sky was clear of any dark cloud and then next minute I know there is a heavy rainfall going on. I have gotten ready to leave the apartment so that I can go to the bakery but it seems the rain is not going to stop soon.
Not only that I have to pack my bags too because Nicholas told me that we will be leaving tomorrow. After a lot of thinking, I have decided to listen to my heart which assured me that I need to stop comparing everything to my past.
I have to remember that Nicholas is nothing like Matthew because unlike Matthew, Nicholas cares about my decision. He doesn't force me to accept his decision instead he lets me decide for myself. That's the main reason for me to accept his proposal of going to Boston together.
I have already gone to shopping with Evelyn where she has selected a beautiful pair of heels for her wedding day as well as a pretty tiara which she has bought from Tiffany & Co. Now, I don't know what I am going to gift her for her wedding because that girl literally have everything.
Finally, after one hour the rain stops so I quickly go out of the apartment but I don't take Skittles with me today. I am not liking today's weather so I don't want to take risk by taking her with me.
Thankfully, I get a cab quickly so I don't need to walk in this weather. Soon, I reach the bakery and find it open that means Parker has arrived. But when I walk inside my eyes widen seeing the scene unfold in front of me.
Everything is broken and thrashed like someone deliberately tried to destroy the place. I have to hold the nearby wall for support because my knees are giving out seeing my hardwork being destroyed so badly that I don't even know what to do next.
What have I done to deserve this? Am I that bad for someone to hate me so much?
At that time my phone starts ringing so | look at it to see that it's showing a private number. I don't know why but I have a feeling that whoever is calling me is behind the destruction of the bakery.
"Who is this?" I ask picking up the call.
"How did you like my surprise?" A woman says but it doesn't sound familiar.
"What are you talking about?" I ask wanting to know if my suspicions is true or not.
"Oh, come on. Don't sound like you haven't seen your bakery." The woman replies making me gasp.
"Why did you do that? What have I done to you that you destroyed my bakery? Most importantly I don't even know who you are." I let out feeling anger serge through me.
"You will know everything on time but right now you have to do what l am going to tell you next." She says or should I say demands.
"I will not listen to anything you say." I reply angrily.
"Oh, yes! You will definitely listen to me. Because if you don't then let just say that your family and friends won't be able to stay alive. So, it's upto you what you are going to do next. Listen to me or letting your family or friends getting hurt." My face pale hearing her words. She is not serious, is she?
I can't take any risk when she is literally threatening my loved ones. For now, I just need to agree with her and then I will tell everything to Nicholas because I know that only he will be able to help me in this situation.
"What do you want me to do?" I ask.
"To break up with your billionaire boyfriend." She replies making my eyes widen.
"Are you even listening to yourself? Why will I break up with my boyfriend just because you are saying?" I let out feeling like Killing her with my bare hands.
"Fine, don't do that." She says and disconnect the call.
I try to call back but it's not connecting. Shit! What just happened?
