AURORA CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:THE BLOOM II
It was already past seven in the morning when Malcolm entered his son’s room with a tray of breakfast for his son and the sight that greeted him made a feeling rise in his body. Liam was sleeping in the arms of Aurora and they both looked good together.A smile unknowingly appeared on his lips but he quickly masked it up, women were not to be trusted and this one was not an exception.On the other hand, Aurora could feel a pair of eyes staring back at her even in her sleep and she slowly opened her eyes to find out she was right, Malcolm was standing there having a tray of food with him.“Good morning” she greeted and slowly climbed down from the bed to avoid waking the little boy who was still fast asleep.“I thought he was already awake that is why I decided to bring breakfast” he didn’t even know why he was trying to explain himself to her.“He slept late last night so that is why he seem to be sleeping in, he woke up at night and I had to read him a story”“Okay” came Malcolm’s si
AURORA CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE BLOOM III
“Pretty aunt is still here?” Liam squealed, smiling at the woman who just entered the room.“Can I come along Liam? I would really like to spend some time with you and everyone here” Angeline added, still smiling.“Can she come, papa?” He asked, turning to his father who raised his brows in anger.“It is father and son day Liam, you already allowed mama to come so why do you want to invite a stranger?”Angeline’s heart broke into a thousand pieces when Malcolm tagged her a stranger to her son.“But I like her too,” Liam pouted.“No son, she can come later and that is final” he said as a matter of fact before staring daggers at Angeline, how he hated the sight of this woman.“You know what?” Aura spoke for the first time, “I remember that i have an urgent work I need to take care of, you three can go”She didn’t want to be the killjoy of the family even if her heart was broken that she wouldn’t get to spend enough time for Liam again, she already grew to love the boy so much and it pai
AURORA CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE SPARK I
The two of them were having the best time of their lives when Malcolm reached where they were, part of him was happy that his son was having the best time of his life but part of him hated the fact that Angeline was back in their lives.“Come and join us papa” his son screamed happily and ran towards his papa, the smile on his face was genuine and Malcolm wished it would be there forever.“He looks really happy,you should join us” Aura spoke as she walked to them, she also had a smile on her face and Malcolm wanted to compliment the smile but the beeping of her phone stopped him, “excuse me” she mouthed and walked a few feet away.“Mum”she answered immediately she pressed the receive button, “I am at work now, I will call you when I get home” she added hoping she would be let off the hook but the woman on the other end would hear nothing of it.“You haven’t sent us money in a while now, aura, are you trying to neglect your family?” Her mother screamed and she had to remove the phone f
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY: THE SPARK II
The two were still seated in that position with different thoughts running through their minds, unaware of the fact that the time was already far spent. It was the beeping of Malcolm’s phone that jerked them back to reality.Malcolm sighed as he pressed the receive button, “where are you papa?” Came Liam’s scared voice, “you left me alone with this Aunty and you didn’t tell me anything and where is mama?”“Sorry son, I am with mama and we are coming okay?”“Be fast,” his son retorted and disconnected the call.“I am sorry for ruining your father and son day” Aurora immediately apologized and stood up from where she was sitting. She was a bit tall so his shirt was barely covering her thighs.“Are you really sure you are okay?You can take the day off if you are not feeling good, I will just tell Liam that something urgent came up” his voice was filled with concern and care.For a moment, aura didn’t reply. The fact that he was showing concern towards her was something she didn’t know s
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: THE SPARK III
The drive back home was a quiet one and aura felt guilty about it. If she didn’t go to meet Bigfoot then Angeline wouldn’t have had the time to talk to Liam who was seated and sulking by her side.Malcolm who was driving would occasionally glance at them through the rear mirror but he would not say anything, thankfully Angeline left in her own car.“Will you like some ice cream?” Aura asked, trying to release the tension in the car but the little boy ignored her and continued staring out of the window.“Liam, you don’t ignore when an elder is talking to you” Malcolm said from the front seat, his eyes glancing at them for a split second before turning back to the road ahead.“Then you shouldn’t lie to your dying son either” Liam screamed at the top of his voice in anger and that was when Malcolm pressed his leg hard on the break and the car came to a sudden stop by the road.“Be careful sir, there is a child in the car” Aurora warned.Coming down from the driver’s seat, Malcolm walked
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: FEELINGS
After standing on her porch for a while, Aurora finally sighed and walked back into the house. Both father and son were two unique personalities and she just didn’t know how to handle them at times. The son was a pure joy to her and the father was just a different kind of person she just couldn’t pinpoint but the love that existed between the two of them could rarely be seen in other families especially hers.When she entered the room, she met them both sitting on the ground and they were saying something and laughing hard about it. She found it hard that the almighty Malcolm Hart was sitting on the floor.“Isn’t the couch big enough to contain the two of you?” She asked and they both turned to her direction smiling.“Mama, what took you so long?” Liam squealed in his father’s arms, “papa was just telling me about the first day he met you and it is really hilarious” he added smiling and aura raised her brows at the two of them. What lie did Malcolm tell the child now?“What did papa t
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
The two sat in that position not moving, they could both feel the creepy feelings in their hearts and bodies. Aurora, for the first time noticed the man beside her had a pretty dimple on his face.“Your dimple looks pretty” she said unknowingly and the smile on his face widened, that was when she realized what she said and her hands flew to her mouth, “that was not supposed to come out of my mouth” she added and Malcolm smiled the more. He found her cute.“What are you looking at?” She asked again when he was not saying anything but instead he just kept looking and aura was beginning to feel uncomfortable, “say something” she added.“You look pretty, I can now fully see why Liam was obsessed with you” he replied casually.“What do you mean?”“Your eyes make you look different”“Hmm” Aurora cleared her throat awkwardly, “thank you” she added almost inaudibly but Malcolm heard her.The two of them became quiet as the time passed by slowly, different thoughts and emotions running throug
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: IGNITION.
Even as he pushed her away, Angeline smiled and advanced towards him again. Even if he was acting tough with her, she knew for a fact that deep inside of him he still felt something for her.“Why are you pushing me away?” She asked as she came face to face with him.“Just leave” Malcolm gritted as he turned and faced the world. A conflict was going on in his mind and he needed to clear it out. Why the hell did that lady appear in his memory?And she looked so innocent.“What are you thinking so intently about?” Angeline asked again, this time she came to stand beside him and she looked very pretty under the moonlight, “are you thinking of that nurse?” She inquired further and Malcolm was taken aback, how did she know?Angeline smiled, “I am right I see, so she is the one now?”“What do you mean?”“You are a man of standard Malcolm, why will you settle for a plain Jane?”As the words left her mouth, an image of aurora appeared in Malcolm’s mind again and unknowingly he gave a laugh.“Pl

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.

AURORA CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN.
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
AURORA CHAPTER FORTY THREE.
“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 CHAPTER FORTY TWO.
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
AURORA CHAPTER FORTY.
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
