Chapter 33 - Bombshell


Aurora's POV

A few minutes later, Liam came back, holding a glass of water, and sat down beside me on the couch. He helped me to sit up and drink the water.

"Are you better?" He asked, concerned, cupping my cheek after putting the glass down on the coffee table.

"Yes." I mumbled, looking at him in daze. I couldn't still believe that he was the same guy who I had one night stand.

"You look strange. Are you really fine? I will call a doctor." He said worriedly and wanted to grab his phone.

"No, I am fine. It passed." I assured him.

"Are you sure? It will be better if the doctor checks up on you."

"No need. I am fine. Don't worry." I gave him a reassuring smile. He nodded and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Actually... I have to leave." I murmured, ruffling my hair.

"Why? Wouldn't you stay the night here?" He asked, puzzled.

"I am tired. It will be better if I go home and rest."

Liam frowned. "Aurora, do you really feel better?" He asked anxiously, grabbing my hand.

I gave him a warm smile, squeezing his hand. "I am fine. Don't worry."

"Then stay here and rest as much as you want. I will take care of you." He suggested tenderly and placed a soft kiss on my hand.

I smiled at him and nodded. "Fine."

He gave me a brilliant smile as he stood up and scooped me up in his arms in a flash.

"Liam!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Where are you taking me?"

"Taking you to bed to rest." Liam replied and planted a chaste kiss on my lips.

Once I put on the shirt Liam gave me to wear, I lay down on the bed. Liam pulled the cover over my body and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Sweet dreams, sugar." He said softly and switched off the lights before leaving the bedroom.

I heaved a loud sigh and rubbed my forehead, lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, I remembered his tattoo. So the cute witch he was talking about was me. And the canvases... The girl who wore witch costume in the paintings was me. Oh my goodness! So he didn't forget me or our night together.

When I heard footsteps, I closed my eyes, pretending I was sleeping. The door opened and closed slowly.

Liam walked towards the other side of the bed after tiptoeing to the walk-in closet and back. Then he lay down beside me on the bed and hugged me from behind. He buried his face into the hollow of my neck, breathing in my scent, and placed a soft kiss on my neck, his arm around my waist.

The following morning I woke up in his arms while he was sleeping peacefully. I bit my lower lip, watching my handsome boyfriend.

How am I going to tell you about Luke, my love?

And your family? How will Serena react when she finds out Luke is her grandson?

And our relationship? Will it be the same after you know the truth or will it affect our relationship badly?

I sighed, depressed and caressed his cheek affectionately. Then I leaned towards him and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"I love you so much, my Greek god." I whispered softly and pulled away carefully, trying not to wake him up.

After changing my clothes, I wrote a note for him.

'Good morning, my love.

I have to go home before going to the fashion house.

I love you so much.'

After putting the note on the pillow beside him, I tiptoed to the living room to grab my bag and jacket and left the penthouse.

Liam's POV

As soon as I parked my car in front of Aurora's house, I got out of the car after grabbed a paper bag and a bouquet of red roses. Her mother was out of town; so she couldn't meet up with me outside because Luke's nanny couldn't stay with him this evening. She had to stay with her grandchildren tonight.

When I called Aurora on the way, she told me he would be a bit late, but the nanny and Luke were home.

As Luke heard my voice, he rushed towards me and greeted me happily.

"Luke, be careful!" His nanny warned him and closed the door behind me.

"It is for you, little munchkin." I extended the paper bag to him, giving him a bright smile.

"Thank you." He beamed at me joyfully and grabbed the paper bag. His eyes shone as he saw a car with remote control inside the paper bag. It was the scale model of my car. I ordered it a few weeks ago when Luke told me he liked my car and wanted to have it as well.

"Now we both have the same model car." I winked at him playfully.

"You are the best." He grinned happily and threw himself into my arms.

I chuckled, amused as happiness filled my heart. I enjoyed seeing him happy as well as making him happy.

"Will you play with me?" Luke asked hopefully.

"Yes, we have free time till your mother comes home."

"Yay!" He exclaimed cheerfully. "Let's play in Mommy's room. Her room is bigger than mine." He suggested in excitement as he grabbed my hand. I nodded as I straightened and placed the bouquet of red roses on the table before going upstairs with Luke.

Once we walked into Aurora's bedroom, Luke told me to wait for him here while he went to his room to bring his other cars.

I looked around curiously while resting my hand in my pocket. It was for the first time that I was in Aurora's bedroom. It was decorated in pastel colors.

I approached her bedside table as I noticed a photo album. When I wanted to take it, some of photos which were under it fell down. My eyes widened in shock as I saw the photos.

"My witch?" I mumbled, dumbfounded as I picked up the photos. My jaw dropped when I looked at another photo which was taken before she put on her makeup. It was no one else, but Aurora, and she wore the same bracelet which I found in the bed the following morning.

"Liam, I am..." Aurora didn't finish her sentence as she saw me looking at the photos. She gulped nervously as her face paled.

"Are... Are you my witch?" I mumbled, dazed.

"I..." She murmured and pursed her lips together.

Suddenly, I remembered what she told me about Luke's father. Her one night stand when she was at university.

Oh my goodness!

The year matches...

"Is Luke my son?" I asked in shock. She nodded while her eyes welled up. I collapsed onto the bed, dropping the photos and album onto the floor.

"I didn't know it was you. I found out about it yesterday when I saw your photo which was taken when you had platinum hair." Aurora said anxiously as she took a few steps towards me and stopped without coming closer more.

"Because of it, you almost fainted." I commented, dazed. I couldn't still believe it. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"I didn't know how to tell you. I was shocked. I couldn't think properly." She replied, ruffling her hair nervously.

"I..." Suddenly, Luke came, interrupting me while holding his cars. I pursed my lips together, feeling emotional while looking at... my son. I didn't know what to say. I was still in the shock.

A drop of tear ran down my cheek while he was talking to his mother happily.

Luke furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at me. "Why are you crying?" He asked, approaching me, and placed his toys beside me on the bed.

I gave him a slight smile and held his hands as I bent down in front of him while looking at him tenderly.

I can't still believe that I have a son. Moreover, it is Luke, Aurora's son. And Aurora is my witch.

"I..." I mumbled without knowing what to answer and hugged him tightly in my arms, breathing in his scent.

"Don't cry." Luke said softly as he pulled back slightly and wiped my tears off my cheeks with his little hands. I gave him a bright smile, nodding, and caressed his hair affectionately.
