Her heart felt like it had been dipped in honey—conflicted but sweet. She shared some of her feelings with Dominic.
But Dominic didn't seem too moved.
"What's past is past. And honestly… most women in this industry are like that, always trying to catch the attention of some rich heir. At the time, he really did think you were one of them, and you can't exactly blame him for that. The circle's got a bad rep. But come on… look at all he's done for you. Isn't letting go of the past the smart move?"
Aurora sat there, staring blankly ahead.
"Stop overthinking it. If you want to be with him, then be with him already. He's way better than that selfish, heartless Alexander."
Dominic's words stirred something in her.
Sure, Alexander had been her classmate for nine years—but in the end, look how it all turned out.
His coldness had shattered her. There was no going back. Even if there was no "Everett," she still couldn't be with Alexander anymore.
