They saved Anders, my brother whom I’ve been trying to get into treatment forever.
Now he’s finally safe. He might hate me for a while after this, and he certainly might hate them, but it’s all for the better. Finally, he’s gonna get the help he needs.
And then the guys came at the perfect time to save me from the scary billionaire loan shark. They arrived just at the moment I needed them. It’s almost as if the universe is pushing us all together.
But at the same time, as Finn holds my hand and leads me back to the beach house, I know that I might be pushing my luck.
These guys have been wanting me to choose between them forever. I’ve been putting it off, and with everything that’s happened with Anders, I couldn’t really come to a decision.
But now the drama has finally died down, and I know they’re gonna expect me to make a choice. Deep down in my heart, I also know what I have to do.
There’s no way I can choose just one of these guys. My feelings run strong for all of them. So, in light of that, I’ve decided that I can’t make a choice. I’m going to have to lose all of them rather than choose just one.
I’ve known this for a while, but I can tell that the hour of reckoning is upon me. There can be no more waiting. There can be no more pushing this off.
I watch as another raging storm is cast over the ocean. It’s been a stormy few days here at the beach house.
At the same time, I welcome the weather. Something about it is just fitting for the mood I’m in.
We go inside, and the nurse assigned to Anders is gone. It’s just us in the house. Finn takes me to the bar straight away, and I’m grateful.
I need a drink now more than ever. Declan shakes me up a margarita, and I take it. We’re sitting around the bar in the sumptuous living space.
“So…” I say hesitantly. “There’s something we really need to talk about.”
“Aurora, it’s okay—” Declan says, trying to cut me off and help me not to have to do this.
“No, Declan, I really have to get this off my chest. I feel like you guys all need to know what’s going on.”
I take a deep breath. “Listen, I know that you need me to choose just one of you to be with. I know that’s important to you. And I know I’m being selfish by dragging this out and by having individual relationships with all of you. It must be hard for you as brothers to see what’s happening.”
I look into each of their faces. This is the last moment when they’re gonna think highly of me.
After I tell him my decision, it’ll probably be all over. I’ll be sent packing, and I’ll have to go pick up the pieces of my life alone.
I take a heavy sip of my drink and go on. “So, you see, I think you should know that I feel very intense and strong things for each of you. And with that being said, I simply can’t make a choice. I would rather lose all of you then to choose just one guy to be with and have the other two hurting.
“I can’t do that to you guys. And I don’t want to be the reason that you guys fight. I don’t want to draw a wedge in your family. So, I’m just gonna bow out. But as I do, please remember that I really think I might love each of you.”
My hands are shaking as I say the words. I’ve never been in love before. But it’s just the truth.
I’ve fallen for the Grayson brothers. They’re so disparate in their varying personalities, and yet they’re also alike at the same time. They’ve each gone out of their way to capture my heart.
My life changed the night of the auction. The night that I met them was the best moment of my life. And they’ve spent every day since then making sure that I was happy.
And now I have to let all of that go. My heart is so broken that I’m tempted to run out of the room and never look back.
But before I can do so, Jasper approaches me. He wraps his strong arms around my body, and I feel safe again.
“Aurora, you don’t have to do this. We have something to say to you, too.”
I look up into his eyes hopefully and say, “You do?”
Finn approaches us and says, “Yes, Aurora. We decided something. We don’t think it’s fair to make you choose between us.”
“Really?” I look into his eyes, searching for the truth.
Declan’s behind the bar, and he leans over and strokes my hair in a soothing way before saying, “We talked about it, Aurora. You’re the glue that holds us together. We hated each other before you came along. Now we have a common mission: you. We’re in love with you, too. You must know that by now.”
