As the huge doors flung open, her father gave her a reassuring smile before leading her down the aisle. This was it, she was finally getting married to the man of her dreams. As Aura walked down the aisle, her hand in her father’s hand, she couldn’t help but look around the whole church. It was filled up and she felt happy that a lot of people came to share in her joy.Then her eyes rested on the man standing at the foot of the altar, he had a huge smile on his face and he looked damn gorgeous. She was getting married to the most gorgeous man in the world and that was a big flex.“Make sure you take care of my daughter” her dad whispered to Malcom who gently took her hands in his.“I promise” the smile on his face was not going away, even Aurora had that bright smile on her lips.“May we begin” the officiating priest announced and the two of them turned to him.“Brethren, we are gathered here today to witness the joining in holy matrimony between Malcolm Hart and Aurora Williams.

" Young master, you should eat your food so you can have your medications" the chief maid pleaded as she sat on the chair next to him but the seven year old lad would hear nothing of it. He was angry and none of them could quench his anger, not after what his papa had done." I won't eat neither will I take my medications" he retorted and jumped down from the chair before making his way out of the room, leaving the maids sighing to themselves. They knew if the master came back, they would definitely be scolded as to why Liam, for that was the boy's name, didn't eat.He hadn't taken up to ten steps into the garden when he noticed his papa's car drive into the spacious garage and he saw him alight with his suit and briefcase in his hands. As usual he wanted to run and go to his papa but once he remembered what he did, his eyes darkened and he turned his back on him before venturing deep into the garden." Welcome boss" the security at the door greeted as Malcolm walked past him and the
Nurse Aurora yawned lightly as she entered the dressing room and slumped on one of the vacant chairs. It has been one of a hectic day and she was glad it was already over so that means she could go home to her comfy bed and sleep.Her mind wandered off to the little boy she met at the park earlier and she unknowingly smiled,he was too cute." What are you smiling about?" Danny, her co-nurse asked as she also sat on the chair opposite Aurora. They were both from the neurology department and work was as tedious as ever." Nothing Danny, just met a little boy at the park today" she answered with all smiles." You are smiling because you met a little boy?it's like this hospital has not given you enough work already" Danny sighed as she walked up to her locker to get changed, " I actually think we might grow old and die in this hospital Aurora because we can't even live our lives how we want. I mean we are just twenty seven but we have seen things even my ancestors didn't see".Aurora la
It was already past nine when Malcolm came back to the hospital, he had to stop by the mall to get a few things for Liam and ended up getting late. He was already apprehensive that no one was with him but when he got near the door, he could hear little giggles and he saw the nurse was still there and Liam was smiling sweetly at her.Standing there for close to three minutes, he finally pushed the door open and entered."Papa!!" Liam beamed excitedly at him as his lips curved up into a much bigger smile." How are you feeling now champ? He asked ruffling his son's hair lovingly." Miss Aurora has been really good to me, you should tell her thank you"." No need Liam" Aurora quickly chipped in, " since your papa is here now I will get going now".The little boy's face turned gloomy as soon as she said she wanted to leave." Must you go?I thought you would spend the night with me".She smiled at how cute he sounded but she couldn't possibly spend the night here when his dad keeps glarin
Aurora rushed into the dressing room with a sorry look on her face while the head nurse kept glaring at her." Do you even care about the reputation of this hospital Aurora?" She asked in an authoritative voice and Aurora could only look at her apologetically, it wasn't her fault she came few minutes late. The traffic from her house was bad." I am really sorry ma'am, the traffic was really bad" she replied biting her lips." Hmmm, Liam has been asking about you all morning and won't even take his medication, we also tried calling you but to no avail"." I will check on him now" she answered quickly as she slipped into her uniform and dashed out of the room.She had a silent prayer on her lips as she walked towards Liam's room, she knew his father would not spare her even at the slightest. " Holy virgin please save me" she muttered to herself quickly making the sign of the cross, she held the handle and pushed the door open and immediately two pairs of eyes flew to her direction."Un
The two were engrossed in each other when her phone began to ring and it was her mother calling, sighing heavily she quickly picked it up." Hello mum" came her uninterested voice, she wasn't too happy talking to her." You said you were going to send the money last week so what happened Aurora?" Her mother asked angrily from the other end," you shouldn't have promised if you knew you were just lying" she added and Aurora felt like smashing her phone to the floor, she was the eldest daughter of her family and she still had three other siblings to take care of including her parents. They weren't making things easier for her in any way and she was living like a pauper because of them, shouldn't they show a little appreciation?" You will get the money next week mum and you should also ask the others to get some work done mum, I am Also trying my best" she couldn't hold in her frustration any longer,until when will she live like this?." What happened, unique eyes?" Liam asked, seeing th
As soon as she stepped into Bigfoot's office, she cringed her nose in disgust. This man was always found in the company of alcohol and drugs, how did she end up working in such a place?Well she couldn't blame anyone more than her money driven family could she?Different bottles of wine were scattered in front of Bigfoot and his attention was focused on the lady who just entered his office while a smug look appeared on his face." Who do we have here?" He asked Mockingly and she bit her lip." I need your help Bigfoot" she answered after a while, she wasn't sure if this man was going to help her after the way she quit the club a month ago.Bigfoot stood up from his chair as she walked towards her, unlike his name he was tall and well built with a handsome face but it looked flirty." Why should I help you Aurora?" He questioned as he lowered himself on the edge of his table, " remember you said you were never going to come here again?"" I know Bigfoot, I am just in need of some cash r
The morning rays of the sun slowly crept into the room as little Liam opened his eyes and his lips curved up in a smile as he saw Aurora sleeping peacefully on the sofa near his bed, she looked so peaceful and he couldn’t help but click a picture of her as she slept. Just as he climbed out of bed to cover her with his quilt, his door creaked open and his dad strood into the room but stopped short when he saw his son gesturing to him to be quiet and Malcolm couldn’t help but scrunch his brows.“Stop making too much noise papa, she is sleeping “ he whispered and Malcolm had no choice than to nod while Liam moved closer to her to cover her but in that instant, her long lashes fluttered open and she quickly jumped of the sofa when she noticed the father and son duo looking at her. One had a happy expression on his face while the other had an expressionless look on his face with his hands firmly tucked in his pants pocket.“I am really sorry sir, I fell asleep and didn’t know it was alread

It has already been a week since the whole incident, Malcolm helped her to get over it a little bit. Even if she was still feeling the pain, she didn’t want to get him worried unnecessarily. Because of that, she buried the thoughts of her family deep at the back of her head. To her, they didn’t exist anymore. Even Ryan was mad when he found out and he vowed to protect her from all of them, he was still her brother nonetheless. He even told her not to have any single thing to do with that family anymore, they treated her like shit.His exact words were, “you deserve better sis and that’s why God sent Malcolm into your life, the way they treated you shows how daft humanity can be and it’s good you cut all ties with them. They don’t deserve you”That was like a week ago, right now she was seated in her office and working on a few papers. Her wedding preparations were soon going to kickstart and she would be so choked.“Aura” a familiar voice filtered into her ears and she looked up to s
The ding dong of the bell made the woman to Stop what she was doing and open the door. She was surprised to see her daughter by the door and behind her was her fiancé. The man she saw on the television a few days ago.“Mum” Aurora didn’t know whether to fake a smile or keep a stoic face, after all the lady in front of her didn’t fully acknowledge her.“You didn’t tell us you were coming”“I told her not to” Malcolm chipped in, he used that opportunity to study the woman in front of him for a while. She looked well dressed and wasn’t dressed like she was in lack of money.“Come in” she opened the door wider and the two of them entered. There were expensive sofas in the living room and the walls were covered with the family pictures but he didn’t see anyone that had his fiancée in it. Did they hate her that much?“Where is dad?” Aurora asked her mum after sitting down, shs felt like a stranger in her own home and part of her wished she was not there.“He went to town for something and
The moment the door opened, Aurora gasped in surprise, this man decorated the whole house and her pictures were everywhere. She thought the surprise was over?“More suprises?” She asked, smiling widely, she couldn’t get enough of him even if she tried.“This is just in preparation for dinner with you, me and Liam. When he was alive, he always told me he wanted to celebrate your birthday like this and now that I have the opportunity, I thought of doing it”Her eyes teared up, even if Liam was no longer alive she always felt his presence. It was safe to say that their bond was eternal.“Do you like it?” Malcolm asked when he saw how emotional she got.“Of course I love it” Aurora answered in enthusiasm and Malcolm smiled. This woman was just so easy to please.“I made all your favorite dishes my lady, tonight let me be your chef”“As you wish”The two of them made their way to the dining room and she was not disappointed. A lot of dishes were sprawled on the table and she had the luxury
The whole venue was already deserted but Malcolm was still having a little chat with some of his business associates while holding onto his fiancée’s hand. The joy was evident on both faces and their joy knew no bounds.After the last three persons left, a swarm of reporters immediately surrounded them, all in a hope of catching a glimpse of the love between the couple.“How do you feel now that you are engaged sir” one of them asked.“Is this marriage going to last forever? Your first wife divorced you” another asked.“How long have you known each other?”“Do you think your first wife is happy with this relationship?”These were some of the questions being asked but Malcolm remained silent, he was not mad at the questions rather he was bracing himself. Aurora was a bit nervous, she never had to face so many crowds before but seeing how Malcolm held onto her hands tightly, she felt a sense of comfort and pride in him. He was showing her that the two of them were going to be together
“Happy birthday baby” Malcolm said and drew her to an embrace, he could feel her shaking slightly. The surprise was a bit overwhelming for her.“Relax baby” he whispered to her, “I am here okay?”“Why did you do this?”she whispered back to him but he just kissed her on her forehead before gesturing for her to sit on the gold plated chair on the stage.After she sat down, Malcolm turned to the microphone again.“Ladies and gentlemen, you see this woman right here?” He pointed at her with a huge grin on his face, “she came into my life when I didn’t expect and I treated her like trash but she never left my side and my son’s side no matter what. Even on my son’s deathbed, he made her promise to take care of me and I haven’t be more grateful for making her my woman”Another round of applause went up from the crowd again which made aura to tear up.Not only did he organize a surprise birthday party for her but he was also praising her in front of everyone. It was amazing.“I love you so m
Aurora jolted out of bed when someone splashed a few drops of water on her….Ryan.“Happy birthday sis” he beamed excitedly as he hugged her.“Thank you,” Aurora answered, beaming with smiles. Today was nothing special for her though but since her brother was wishing her well then she must accept it.“I made your favorite and I kept your present on the dining table”“Awwwnn, thanks so much. I will freshen up and come out”“Okay” Ryan kissed her on the forehead and left the room.Aurora sighed, none of her family members even called to wish her a happy birthday. Not like they ever did it but she kind of expected it every year but it was always the same.Just as she wanted to climb out of bed, her phone rang and it was a video call from Malcolm.Smiling, she pressed the receive button and smiled at him.“Good morning”“Good morning princess” Malcolm looked like he just finished his workout and beads were dripping down his body, she couldn’t lie he looked hot, “happy birthday” added an
After aurora was done with her rounds she went over to her office but was suprised to see Malcolm on her chair. “What are you doing here?” She asked him immediately, “what if someone sees you?”“I told Danny not to come in until I am done with my baby” a sly smile was playing across his lips as he talked.“I didn’t know you could be so shameless Malcolm, I had high expectations of you” aurora teased while she sat on the chair opposite him,It was an office she shared with Danny and the latter may come in anytime, she didn’t want to he found in a compromising position.“You purposely wanted to anger Angeline right?”She smiled and leaned forward on her chair,“I just realized she loves attention and I will give it to her”“Hmmm” Malcolm nodded as he stood up from where he was sitting and walked over the table,“You look really pretty today wifey”“Wifey?” She wasn’t suprised but blushed, he hadn’t even proposed to her and was already calling her his wife.“Yes, my wife” Malcolm answer
After driving him home, Aurora led him into the house and he slumped on the sofa immediately. His eyes were closed but he was wide awake. Malcolm was waiting for her to say she was leaving but after two minutes and he didn’t hear anything, he immediately opened his eyes and sat up. There she was, also on a sofa and she looked very tired.From where he was seated, Malcolm could see the tiredness and confusion on her face and his heart softened. Aurora was so pure and innocent and he felt like he was the one who tainted her innocence.He was the one who came into her life and brought all his problems with him, he was the one who made her once quiet life filled with noise. Nothing was actually her fault but it was all his fault though.“I can feel your eyes on me the whole time” aurora said from where she was sitting, her eyes still closed.“I thought you would be heading back to the hospital” Malcom defended, part of him wished she would not go but he already knew Aurora and how she pri
