The harsh words from the crowd stung Aurora, a pang of hurt gnawing at her heart. She was well aware that the hostility directed at her came from her role as the false girlfriend of a man they all lusted after.
Choosing to block out their murmurs, she pressed forward through the array of people. However, it became evident that some among the crowd were intent on humiliating her.
"Why the false tears after snatching someone else's man?" Three women approached Aurora, their gazes laced with disdain.
"Seems she's suddenly lost her voice after Damien turned her down," they taunted, their laughter laced with cruelty.
Anxiety swelled within Aurora, she bit her lips in shame. She found herself cornered by their mockery and didn't know how to respond.
"Excuse me," she stammered, trying to navigate through the trio, but they shoved her forcefully, sending her crashing to the ground.
