Chapter 39
- Chapter 39
- The will came out two days after the tragedy. It was all over the news, splashed across tabloids and whispered about in the wealthy circles Aurora’s mother longed to be part of. Edward Blackwood’s estate was finally divided, his empire crumbling under public scrutiny, lawsuits, and criminal investigations.
- Aurora barely noticed. She was still curled on the couch, staring blankly at the silent television, her swollen eyes dull and lifeless. She hadn’t eaten. She hadn’t slept. The only thing that played over and over in her mind was the flames… and Edward’s haunting, victorious laugh echoing inside her skull.
