Chapter 32: Shattered–1
Thea’s POV
Today should have been a happy day. My dinner with Kane had gone wonderfully, I was returning to work tomorrow, and my birthday was the day after. As I’d hoped yesterday, Kane had successfully helped me forget my troubles, even if just for a while. Within minutes of arriving at his place, I found myself laughing more than I had in weeks.
His cooking lived up to his promises, the food was absolutely delicious. There’s something incredibly attractive about a man who can both cook and make you laugh. The evening turned out to be exactly what I needed, filled with warmth and genuine joy. The perfect end to the night was getting to talk with Leo afterward. His mood had improved significantly since his fight with Sebastian. We chatted about everything and nothing until he fell asleep mid–sentence, his steady breathing through the phone bringing a
smile to my face.

I was in the kitchen baking when someone knocked on my door. As I wiped my hands on a kitchen towel, I caught a familiar scent through the door – one that made my stomach clench. When I opened it to find Aurora standing there, I wasn’t entirely surprised.
“What brings the perfect Sterling princess to my humble den?” I couldn’t keep the irritation from my voice. Her presence never spelled anything good. The last time she’d shown up here, I’d nearly been killed a few hours after our fight.
“We need to talk.” Her face was a mask of cold superiority.
Every instinct screamed at me to shut the door in her face, but against my better judgment, I let her in. The sooner we got this over with, the better.
“State your business and go. I have better things to do than entertain you.” I took a seat
and watched her eyes scanning my home with obvious disdain.
She sneered after completing her inspection. Of course this didn’t meet her standards – it
wasn’t flashy or expensive. It was simple and homey, everything she wasn’t.
“Are you going to sneer at my home all day, or are you going to talk?” I leaned back,
studying my sister.
“Stay away from Sebastian,” she said, crossing her legs primly.

I sighed heavily. “Seriously? You came all this way for this nonsense again?”
