Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Ryan was summoned to a meeting at the company by Logan.

Halfway through, he received a call from Justin, asking Ryan to meet him at the villa by the Phoenix Lake immediately, as long as he was

not dead.

Thus, Ryan had to leave the Hoffman Group amidst curious gazes

before the meeting ended.

Ryan sped along the way to Justin’s villa.

“What the fuck?!”.

Before even entering the gate, he saw a thick smoke hovering over the roof, looking like a volcano was about to erupt. His face turned pale with fright, and he ran into the villa with all his might.

He found Justin in the backyard, burning something in a metal bin.

Justin stood by the fire with a pale face and indescribable sadness between his deeply furrowed brows. The fire illuminated his face, making him look handsome and lonely, like a statue standing in the

ruins of a war-torn area.

Ryan panicked and quickly approached him, asking anxiously,” Justin? Justin? What happened to you? What are you burning?”

Before his words fell, Justin threw another thing into the fire.

Ryan focused his gaze on it and was astonished to see that it was a

photo of Justin and Rosalind together.

“Did you bring me here after I was drugged?” Justin suddenly spoke.

“Yeah, I only know this place. Didn’t you come here quite often back

then?”

Ryan was still trying to figure out the situation. He said, “With the state you were in, I couldn’t send you back to Tideview Manor. Bringing you to my place was inconvenient, so I settled you here.”

Justin looked at him coldly. “Did you ask Bella to come here?”

“Yeah! When you were delirious, all you could say was her name. As your best friend, I had to help you! I made up a story to lure Bella

here.”

Clang!

With raging, crimson eyes, Justin kicked over the burning metal bin/

Some of the scattered sparks landed on Ryan, and he quickly blocked his face with his arms, the scalding sparks still burned a hole in

his expensive suit, even singeing his fringe.

“Fuck! Justin, have you gone mad? Are you trying to burn me too?” Ryan’s face flushed angrily, and he hurriedly patted away the sparks.

Justin had not made a full recovery. He balled his hands into fists and breathed heavily. The sweat had drenched the thin shirt he wore

as he glared at Ryan.

“How could you bring her here? How could you?!”

“Here? What’s wrong with this place?” Ryan was confused, not yet realizing the severity of the situation.

“This villa was my gift to Rosalind, but you brought Bella here… Are you trying to crush her heart? Do you want her to hate me even more?”

Justin shouted hoarsely, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

His outburst stunned Ryan.

They were like brothers that grew up together. Justin had never lost control of his emotions in front of him or misdirected his anger at

him.

This proved how much Justin cared about Bella.

“Justin, I really didn’t know.”

“I’ve asked lan to put this villa up for sale long ago, but it hasn’t sold yet. I’ve also asked him

including these pho get rid of the things inside the villa,

with Rosalind.”

Justin trembled violently
