The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 500

Chapter 500

Aurelia was frantically looking for Kerry when Beverley firmly grabbed her hand. “That's Natasha, thetarot reader. Let's go over and say hello. Maybe she can give us some

insight.”

Aurelia followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged woman in a bohemian maxi dress with afeathered headband. A purple crystal ball sat on the table before her, reminiscent of a medievalEuropean witch.

She followed Beverley over to Natasha.

“This is my sister-in-law, Aurelia. Could you do a reading for her?” Beverley greeted Natasha.Natasha nodded, leading them to a quiet room upstairs.

She handed the tarot cards to Aurelia to shuffle.

Aurelia focused, clearing her mind of thoughts, and followed her intuition. She shuffled the cardsseveral times, drawing from the deck and placing them on top.

Then, she spread the cards face down in a circle on the table and shuffled them clockwise, silentlyasking her question. Finally, she gathered the cards together, laying them horizontally.

The next step was to cut the deck.

Aurelia picked up a portion of the deck and placed it under the remaining cards. Then, she tookanother portion from the new top and placed it on the original top.

There were three stacks of cards on the table.

Natasha put the cards back into one stack, rotating them counterclockwise to place them vertically.Then, based on Aurelia’s question, she laid out a hexagram spread.

The first card revealed was The Moon, upright.

This card represents confusion, struggle, and unease. A lobster crawls from the water under themoonlight, moving towards the Moon Goddess. It has to choose the correct tower in the distance toapproach the Moon Goddess. But it doesn't know which one to choose.

The second card was The Chariot, upright.

This card represents relentless struggle, never giving up, no matter how many obstacles lieahead.

The third card was The Hanged Man, upright.

Chapter 500

This card depicts a warrior, hands bound, hanging upside down. A faint angelic halo appears abovehis head.

He symbolizes self-sacrifice, a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The fourth card represents Death, reversed.

“Your life is threatened by a powerful enemy, casting you into a state of unease and struggle,”Natasha said slowly. “But you won't surrender, and they can't truly defeat you. You'll overcome themone day but might have to self-sacrifice to achieve victory.”

Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat. “Am I... going to die?”

“Death reversed signifies a glimmer of hope. It's the idea of “survive by the skin of your teeth.Everything depends on your choices. If you choose the tower that leads to the Moon Goddess, youcan rise from the ashes. Otherwise...”

She trailed off.

Aurelia understood the implication. Otherwise, it would mean sacrificing her life to protect her lovedones.

She had faced situations like this before.

If she could go back three years, she would still, without hesitation, jump into the sea with a bombin her arms.

She wouldn't surrender to fate She would die rather than let her enemies’ schemes succeed.Beverley asked quietly, “What about her love and marriage? Can she remarry?”

Natasha shook her head. “You know the rules. One reading per day.”

Beverley chuckled awkwardly. “I almost forgot.”

A tidal wave of emotions swept through Aurelia. Whether or not she could remarry no longerseemed all that important.

Perhaps her fate with Leopold had truly come to an end

The future would either bring a parting of ways or a final farewell.
