Chapter 5: Audition For Acting Roles
The morning light streamed through the window, softly illuminating the room.
Aurora picked up her phone from the bedside table and skimmed the screen. There were no new messages, no calls—only a clear notification from Lucas: "The divorce will be finalized soon."
With a heavy sigh, she set the phone aside and wandered around the room she shared with Sophia.
Her eyes settled on the framed photo of herself from years past, hanging on the wall.
The actress in the picture seemed like a distant memory, one that had slipped away with the resignation letter she'd signed three years ago.
She had given up the glitz and glamour, choosing instead to live a quieter life, only to find herself back at square one after the divorce.
Her phone buzzed on the table, a reminder of what she had planned to do - audition for acting roles.
She disguised her face and used a different name during her acting days, a tactic she'd employed to maintain her privacy. But now, she wanted to return to the industry under her real name, free from the shadow of her past success.
Hades's offer to use his connections was tempting but rejected firmly. She knew she had to prove herself again without relying on her family's influence.
Aurora took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and picked up her bag.
She had dressed carefully for the day, opting for a fitted black turtleneck paired with dark, high-waisted jeans that accentuated her slender figure.
