(Aurora’s POV) The sun was still rising, when I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting my outfit nervously. It was my first day in college, and my heart raced with a mix of excitement and anxiety. I smoothed down my skirt, ensuring everything was perfect. As I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, there was a knock at the door. I turned, and the maid stepped in with a polite smile. "Ma’am, Ian sir is waiting for you downstairs" The maid informed me. I felt my stomach flip. I grabbed my bag, nodded at the maid, and murmured a soft, ‘Thank you’. Taking a deep breath, I left the room and descended the grand staircase. When I reached the main door of the mansion, my steps faltered. My breath caught as I saw Ian standing outside, leaning casually against his sleek black sports car.
