Shopping Gone Totally Wrong

Aurora opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, Jare, Daemon's assistant, walked into the room.

She handed her a sleek black and gold card. "Mr. Caelestis-Medallion asked me to give this to you," she said before leaving as quickly as she had come.

Aurora stared down at the card in her hand, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

Was this Daemon's way of showing his love? Of controlling her?

She didn't know.

But it was hard to deny that the gesture felt like a token of his affection, however possessive it might be.

Darasimi, on the other hand, looked like she was about to faint again. "Aurora... is that a billionaire's card?"

Aurora nodded slowly, not sure how to feel.

"Well," Darasimi said with a grin. "Looks like we don't have to worry about the shopping bill after all!"

Aurora wanted to argue, but Darasimi's teasing made her smile. "You're terrible," she said, laughing softly.
