After that incident, Derek changed his attitude towards Aurora. At first, he would leave her alone if Aurora didn't respond to him, but now, he insisted on being with her and sticking to her like glue. Aurora didn't like him being clingy towards her. She would think, what is the use of these false affections when he had already treated her as non-existent when she needed him?
*****Past*****
When Aurora begins to stop talking to her husband because she can't proceed from her sister's unexpected death, she often feels empty. Though she tried to speak with Derek, whenever she tried to talk to him, he would often be out for work or be busy when he was around. She was left alone most of the time but she still wanted to rely on someone so she tried to reach out to her husband. Even though she tried to reach out to him she was always stopped by his assistant saying he was busy with work. Later on, she thought maybe he was indeed busy so she stopped trying to reach out to him or make any effort. She also believed that Derek knew her the best and he would also notice if something was wrong with her. She believed that when Derek was done with his work, he would come to her and talk to her. But soon she felt betrayed by the person that she loved.
One day, Derek called Aurora out. After so long of waiting Aurora would finally get to meet and talk to her husband. She was so delighted after hearing her husband calling her out that she didn't even notice that Derek no longer called her 'Darling'. As she saw her husband standing right in front of her, she happily went towards him and greeted him.
"Derek, welcome home-" Aurora's words were cut off by the slap on her face.
She looked dumbfounded and couldn't proceed with what was going on. A lot of the questions began to run in her mind. 'Why did I get slapped? Why would Derek my husband do such a thing?' She looked up to see Derek's expression face which made her horrified. His face was filled with anger and disappointment. It was the first time that she had seen those expressions on Derek's face.
"I didn't know that I liked Someone Like You. I still don't believe that you could do such a thing I'm so disappointed in you. And to think that you were so kind and the one for me. I married you because I loved those things about you and they turned out to be all false. Do you know how pathetic I feel right now?"
Aurora couldn't understand the words coming out of Derek's mouth. Derek has always loved her and always understood her. Aurora used to be quiet and people now and then always made trouble for her. Sometimes they would even accuse her of something that she didn't do. Aurora never minded those such things but Derek always defended her. Derek would always assure Aurora that even if the whole world tells him how bad Aurora might be he would always believe her words then there's. Seeing the man right in front of her, Aurora couldn't believe that the person standing right in front of her was her husband Derek who used to love her so much and trust her so much; she couldn't understand what changed his heart that she would that he wouldn't even talk to her before slapping her right in front of the workers and trusting the words there's someone might have accused her of something that she never done.
"What did I do? What are you talking about Derek? Is it is it some kind of misunderstanding? Derek, please tell me". Aurora was desperate to know the answer and she didn't want to accept the fact that Derek was no longer the Derek that she used to know.
"Can you stop acting?" Derrick said as he looked disgusted and continued as he saw how she held back her tears and he felt hurt in his heart. Derek thought that she was just trying to trick him into thinking that she was innocent but even so Derek softened his heart a little bit. "Aurora I will let you go without doing anything if you admit your wrongdoing and apologize" Derek didn't even bother to look at her 'I can only help you this much' he thought.
Aurora didn't back out, she insisted on knowing the reason why she was being treated like this which only made Derek angry.
"Derek, I don't know why you are mad and what your reason is to hurt me like this but I still want to know why I should be the one apologizing and even if it is my fault somewhere, then I should know my mistake don't you think?"
Derek couldn't help but come down hearing his wife calmly declare that she would apologize if she knew the reason which meant Derek softened his gaze at her.
"I'm sorry darling I shouldn't have hit you like this without saying or explaining anything to you but I was just so angry that I didn't know how to act you forgive me right"
I will tell you when I know the reason if it is my fault then I forgive you if it's not then I might be angry at you for two days
"Aww darling come on don't be angry at 2 days, two days is too long"
Things were getting better between them and they were forgetting what they were fighting for because they were indeed once in love with each other. suddenly the door flung open and a woman walked in both of them looked at the woman and then looked at each other. Derek asked "How can you come inside without permission?" to the woman but the woman ignored him and went right towards Aurora saying "sister I missed you" Uh Aurora pushed her away and asked, "Who are you?"
That girl with a higher pitch said "Do you see Derek Sir Mr. Derek I told you she doesn't even want to take me as her family and she doesn't want to have any contact with our family. Our family has tried so hard to reach her but she has been avoiding us because now that she has married you, she is so high and mighty that she no longer wants to be with us anymore. We missed her so much but she doesn't even recognize me. You recognize me right? Sir, I even have a badge to prove I am her sister"
Aurora snatched that badge from her hand and then looked at her "Where did you steal it from?" but she didn't answer instead she cried "How can you do this to me, I'm your only sister, sister did you forget me just cause you married Mr. Derek "
"I do have a sister but she is not you and you are not her don't claim to be someone who you are not" Aurora was angry at someone impersonating her dead sister she does resemble her dead sister but her dead sister was far more prettier than this fake sister. Her sister was five years younger than Arora which seems in Derek's eyes that Aurora has been abusing her power over her sister 'cause they're helpless Derek then holds Aurora's hand and takes the badge off of her hand giving it to the fake sister and defended the fake sister "Aurora I have seen your sister and she looks the same as I have seen her how can you say that she is not your sister I have known your sister and she looks exactly like her even acts like her"
"You have just made my sister one day and it was at our wedding, in just one day how can you be so sure that this woman is my sister I have known my sister for my whole life and I would even notice small hints and even her presence without her even informing or anyone telling that she is here I would have recognized my sister from far away if she truly was my sister because I have lived with her more and I've loved her more than you can think"
Derek questioned "Then how can you say...OK, I get it OK let's just say she's not your sister but what about the bash you know the badge, it's only for family members not even those great abilities can get it so how did she get it or are you saying that the badge is also fake like her" the fake girl smirk which made Aurora angry "she must have stolen it from somewhere I don't know to ask her why are you asking me?" Aurora replied and before Derek could say anything the fake sister spoke again.
"I know sister you have hated me your whole life, that's why you don't want to be with me, and me being here is already bad enough for you 'cause you hate me I know that I'm sorry I shouldn't be here but I just want you to know that mother and father loves you and they miss you so much even though you hate me so much why don't you write a letter to mother and father they have been waiting for your letter". Aurora was confused "what do you mean are you trying to say they haven't received any letters for me." The fake sister interrupted and replied, "if you had written any writers, of course, they would have received it but they haven't received any letters, so that means you have not written any letters to them".
Aurora "Did you hide the letters too I have written letters to them from day to day telling them my every experience don't tell me you hid those letters" the fake sister answered "How could you accuse me of something like that I don't even have the power to hide puppy do you think I will have a power do I delators from Royals". Derek had enough of this drama and he asked both of them to get out but he asked Aurora to get out first and then the fake sister. After Aurora leaves Derek asks the fake sister not to make things difficult for Aurora. The fake sister walked out of the room with an angry expression but she was still satisfied in her heart.
The next day they all stayed in the dining but the fake sister insisted on sitting close to Derek. Derek was uncomfortable but he thought she was his sister-in-law, he agreed but the only was not happy was his wife. She was disappointed in her husband 'How could you believe her and how could you not believe me?' she always thought but the dinner was not the place to fight so she kept quiet. Later on, everything was the same back and forth onwards before long Derek had enough of Aurora and her sister's drama Derrick did investigate the fake sister but she was indeed her sister so it leads to him having no choice but to believe the fake sister he even looked for the letters if they were hidden but there were no letters that were received or destroyed by anyone.
Derek had no choice but to think further as the villain here so in the end he chose the fake sister as his new wife and asked for a divorce from Aurora. Even if he loved her and he still did; he doesn't know for what reason he felt like he could no longer be with her when he asked for the divorce he didn't talk to anyone he thought 'Why did I ask for divorce I love her so much but I just can't seem to believe her but at the same time I do. I don't understand my feelings. She is not like that but what can I do with all the evidence it was hard to believe even if I knew she was not like that. Why did I ask for a divorce?'
After the divorce, she left and didn't even ask him the reason. "I thought you would be by my side even if the world was against me but I guess I was wrong all along" was her last words to him. After she left he was lost and he didn't have any physical contact with the fake sister, he would go out and rather be outside than home 'cause it was never home after she left. He lived his life full of confusion but he was the one who decided so he held the accountability.
He did love her indeed he loved her so dearly that he would do anything for her but at the same time, some forces were trying to tear him apart from his beloved love but he never tried hard to keep his love for her instead he laid those forces take over him and destroy the things that was his and hers only.
He loved her but how can you say it is love when you don't even try to keep it and make it last long? How can it be love if you let a little misunderstanding destroy your love? How can it be love if you give up on it because of a little hindrance that could have been avoided easily? How could it be love that when you knew your life was all hers but you didn't even support her when she needed you the most? How can it be love when you saw her go and you know how to stop her and you had the potential to stop her, you had every power to stop her but you stand and watch her go helplessly? How can it be love when you just let other people walk over the person you love the most? how can it be love no was it love or just affection, affection for somebody you wish to keep close but wouldn't do anything else than just keep. Was it love or just affection?
