Chapter 8

He would spend a fortune on other women.

But when the hospital called asking for payment,he thought it was a trick I was using to make him come home.

He hung up with a cold laugh,saying,“If she wants money,have Aurora come beg me herself.”

That day,New York was buried in a blizzard.I went to find him wearing nothing but a thin formal dress.

My frozen body was shocked back to life by the wave of heat when I pushed open the door to his private club room.Damian was surrounded by a crowd of men and women.

The few times I had,it was for Damian's business.

That night,the liquor burned my throat and stomach like fire.The pain was so bad I was close to convulsing,but I drank glass after glass.

Until Damian threw a stack of cash at me.

“Enough.Get out.”

“Aurora,I hope you've learned your lesson.If you dare to act on impulse again,it won't be this simple.”

He was referring to the third time I had tried to expose one of his mistresses.
