Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Aurora’s Exclusive Interview with Vogue

A few days later, the day for Aurora’s exclusive interview with Vogue arrived.

Aurora stepped out of the sleek black car, her aura commanding as always, with Nene by her side, holding a beautiful tote bag. The venue was buzzing with activity—photographers adjusting their equipment, stylists discussing last-minute details, and Rachel Lee herself waiting at the entrance to welcome her guest.

“Director. Swift, it’s such a pleasure to have you here,” Rachel greeted warmly, extending a hand.

Aurora smiled graciously, shaking her hand. “Thank you for inviting me. It’s an honour to be here,” she said, amazed by the warm welcome.

Rachel gestured toward the entrance. “We’ve prepared everything to make this as seamless and enjoyable for you as possible. Let me show you around.”

The venue was an upscale photo studio with modern décor and elegant floral arrangements to complement Aurora’s sophisticated style. A luxurious private dressing room was prepared for Aurora, filled with her favourite refreshments and scented candles for comfort.

And as Rachel showed Aurora around, she revealed details of the photoshoot. The photo shoot featured multiple setups, including a glamorous champagne bar to highlight her Fruit Punch Champagne.

Aurora also needed to wear high-end outfits by renowned designers like Dior, Valentino, and Chanel. More attention was paid to the lighting to enhance her natural elegance, making her the centre of attention.

Inside, Aurora was ushered into the private dressing room. The space exuded luxury, with plush seating, a vanity mirror surrounded by lights, and a table adorned with fresh flowers and her favourite refreshments.

Nene helped her settle in as the team entered, introducing themselves with polite enthusiasm. The hair and makeup artists worked their magic, enhancing Aurora’s natural beauty while maintaining her sophisticated look.

When it was time for the photo shoot, Aurora emerged dressed in a stunning Valentino gown. The fabric shimmered under the studio lights as the photographer captured her in various poses, each one exuding elegance and power.

The photoshoot progressed smoothly, with outfit changes that showcased her versatility—from a structured Dior suit that highlighted her as a business mogul to a flowing Chanel gown that exuded timeless femininity.

Finally, a special moment arrived when a dress from Asher’s designer collection was brought out. The gown was a masterpiece—sleek, modern, and tailored to perfection. Aurora’s eyes sparkled as she slipped into it, appreciating the thoughtfulness of Xander’s dear friend.

She had no idea that she would be wearing one of Asher’s handcrafted brands which was specifically created for her grand exclusive interview today. Aurora felt how thoughtful Asher was by his actions.

“Stunning,” Rachel remarked, watching Aurora adjust the gown. “It’s like it was made for you.”

Aurora smiled, her confidence evident. “Asher has impeccable taste.”

The interview was set in a chic lounge area, the soft lighting creating a cozy yet professional atmosphere. Aurora crossed her legs elegantly as she took her seat, her demeanour poised yet approachable.

Rachel began with a warm smile. “Aurora, let me start by saying it’s incredible to have you here. Your Fruit Punch Champagne has taken the market by storm. Can you share the story behind it?”

Aurora leaned forward slightly, her expression thoughtful. “Fruit Punch Champagne was born out of a desire to create something unique—something that celebrates diversity and creativity. The idea to blend traditional champagne elegance with bold, tropical flavours came during a brainstorming session. And it was all thanks to someone whom I hold so dearly. It wasn’t an easy journey, but seeing the champagne succeed has been incredibly rewarding.”

Rachel nodded, clearly impressed. “What were some of the challenges you faced?”

Aurora’s eyes glimmered with determination. “Convincing people to take a chance on something unconventional. There were moments of doubt, but I believed in the vision. And, of course, finding the right balance of flavours took lots of trial and error.”

The conversation flowed smoothly as Rachel delved into Aurora’s accomplishments, asking about her future plans and how she balanced work and life. Then came the curveball.

“Aurora, you’ve achieved so much professionally, but your audience is curious—do you see yourself settling down soon?”

Aurora’s smile widened slightly, her tone light yet firm. “I’ve already settled down. I’m married.”

The room fell silent, the crew exchanging shocked glances. Rachel’s jaw dropped momentarily before she composed herself. “Married?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

“Yes,” Aurora confirmed, her gaze steady.

Rachel leaned forward, intrigued. “When did this happen? And who is the lucky man?”

Aurora chuckled softly. “It happened quietly, a while ago in Venice, Italy. My husband is Xander Scott.”

Gasps rippled through the crew. Rachel’s eyes widened. “Xander Scott? As in, the CEO of Dante Group?”

Aurora nodded gracefully. “The very one.”

Rachel regrouped quickly, her professionalism shining through. “That’s incredible. You’ve kept this a secret so well. Was it difficult to balance such a high-profile marriage with your career?”

“Not really,” Aurora said thoughtfully. “Xander is incredibly supportive. He respects my ambitions and encourages me to pursue my goals. We’ve found a balance that works for us.”

“And let me guess, your husband was that special someone that helped you come up with Fruit Punch Champagne, right?” Rachel inquired, her interest sparked.

Aurora nodded proudly as that spectacular moment from the past replayed in her head.

“Can I call you Mrs. Scott now?” Rachel teased with a twinkle in her eyes.

“Of course, you can,” Aurora nodded approvingly as her lips released a lighthearted chuckle.

“Mrs. Scott, is there a special reason why you decided to reveal your secret marriage and the identity of your husband today?” Rachel asked, lifting a curious brow.

Aurora shook her head with a smile. “There is no special reason. Even I’m surprised at myself for finally dropping the bomb as it hadn’t come across my mind to do it.”

The interview continued with a blend of professional and personal questions, Aurora handling each one with her trademark poise. By the end, Rachel was visibly impressed.

“Thank you for sharing so much with us today,” Rachel said warmly. “You’re truly an inspiration.”

Aurora smiled, her gratitude genuine. “Thank you for having me. It’s been a pleasure.”

As Aurora left the venue, Nene by her side, she couldn’t help but reflect on the day. The photo shoot, the interview, the surprise reveal—it all felt like a turning point, a moment where she had fully stepped into her power.

And as the car drove away, Aurora knew one thing for certain—this was only the beginning.
