After entering the house, Aura dropped her shoes by the door and walked straight into her room before slumping on the bed.Memories of Liam flooded back into her head and she just couldn’t help it as another set of tears escaped her eyes. The fact that she would never be able to see him again made the pain in her heart more painful. Ever since the two of them got close, she got to experience love in a child’s form and that was the most beautiful feeling in the world but all that is in the past now. She would never be able to see him again even if she wanted to, the happiest days of her life were almost over.Ryan walked into the room with a hot cup of coffee and placed it on her bedside table.“Have some coffee sis, you have been crying for a long time now. You may get sick” he advised as he sat on the bed.“I don’t want anything” Aurora answered in a tear stricken voice and Ryan sighed before taking one of her hands in his.“I understand that you and Liam were very close but even he
Aurora gasped at the sight in front of her, their clothes were sprawled on the ground in different places while they were both on the couch And were they stack naked right now?She was even too surprised to move and kept standing there.Feeling the light creep up on his face, Malcolm slowly opened his eyes and what he saw made him jolt. Why was Angeline lying naked in his arms? And the worst part was that he was also naked. What the heck was happening?“You should cover up” a voice filtered into his ears and he quickly turned his head to see Aurora’s back and she was already walking out of the house.“Fuck” he muttered under his breath as he quickly stood up and gathered his clothes into his hands. The memories of the night before daintily came back to his mind and he shook his head to remove them. He knew he was drunk and….did they?…. When did she even get here though?“You are already awake?” Angeline asked as she sat up. She wasn’t even surprised to see herself naked on her ex husb
Why did she send him such amount of money?what the hell of wrong with her anyway?Slowly dialing a number, he called Aiden and the latter answered after a few seconds.“Malcolm”“Did you approve the transaction from your finance department to my bank account?” He went straight to the point.“Yes, i had a talk with aura and that was what she wanted”“She came to work?” Malcolm asked again.“Hmm” Aiden answered.Without asking anything else, he disconnected the call before entering his room again.…..The drive to the cemetery was not that far and he was right. She was standing there by Liam’s grave when he walked up to her.“Hey”Aurora turned and when she saw who it was, her mood immediately went bad. She just came here to have an alone time with Liam and Malcolm would not allow her. She was tired of seeing his face all over the place.“I will take my leave” she announced and turned to leave but Malcolm blocked her path. Just like her, he also had a confused look on his face.“Why did
The morning rays of the sun settled slowly on her face and she gently stood up from the bed before stretching herself. Sitting down on the bed, she slowly gazed upon the sun and her lips curved up into a small smile and her thoughts lingered on Liam for a while then the smile on her lips widened.“You promise to make this day a good one, remember Liam?” She muttered under her breath as she continued to smile. Her day was going to be great because she saw him in her dreams after such a long time.It was already two weeks after his death and she was already feeling a bit better.“Today will be a good day” she still muttered to herself again before jumping out of bed. Instead of always sulking, Liam promised to make her days better in her dreams and she believed him.She rushed through her shower and got dressed in her clean clothes before walking out of her room.Ryan was setting the table when she came out and the smile on her face grew wider. Ryan was happy to see her bubbly after a
“What are you saying?” Aurora walked back to him with a confused look on her face.“Nothing happened between us that night, yes it almost did happen but we were too drunk to even go even understand what was happening aura”She didn’t know why but she immediately believed him and a part of her was actually happy that nothing happened between them.“Are you happy now?” Malcolm asked again and she raised her brows in confusion.“Why are you telling me this by the way?” Aurora folded her hands across her chest again while looking at him. She seemed to have forgotten that she blurted all of her feelings to him a while ago.“Someone was telling a while ago that she thought I liked her and had feelings for her, the same person also said she was wondering why I slept with my ex wife”Then it dawned on her that she blurted everything to him,“Oh” Aurora gave an awkward smile before scratching the back of her neck, “it was just at the spur of the moment”“Don’t push me away anymore Aura, I go c
A look of despair flashed across Angeline’s face as she heard what Malcolm had to say. He fell in love with his son’s nurse really?While she was having a turbulent battle within herself, aura opened her mouth wide in shock. She didn’t know Malcolm would confess to her in this kind of way. She suddenly became shy.“I will go and check on my other patients” without waiting for his reply, she scurried out of the room and Malcolm smiled after her. He understood perfectly that she was shy.“What nonsense was that Malcolm?For someone of your caliber, you can’t possibly like that nurse” Angeline was finding it very hard to believe. Infact, to her it was a big joke.“Why?can’t I fall in love with her?”“She is below your standards Mac”“So you are my standard?” He asked but She didn’t answer, “get some rest Angeline” With that he stood up and walked out of the room but he came face to face with someone who seemed to be eavesdropping.The moment Aura saw him, she gave an awkward expression w
“Thank you so much aura, i promise you won’t regret this” she was still in his arms as he was talking which made her feel fulfilled . She didn’t plan to fall in love with him either but it just happened and she was glad she did.“Malcolm”“Hmm?” He drew her closer like he didn’t want to let her go even in the slightest.“I am hungry” came her meek and shy voice. Immediately he disengaged from her while an awkward smile came on her face. Malcolm’s mouth dropped in awe, they were sharing the most beautiful moment of their lives but she was busy thinking about food?really?Aurora seemed to understand what he was thinking and she immediately came to her own rescue,“I am hungry, that's why, it’s not like I don’t enjoy the time we are spending together. I just really need to eat or I might pass out before we can even get to know each other”He burst out laughing at her last statement, really?“Okay, let’s go”“Where?”“My house?”“Why?” Aurora asked back, raising an eyebrow.Malcolm smirke
“But I have an early day tomorrow” aurora said after a while, “I can’t possibly spend the night here”“Can’t you take the day off?” Malcolm asked as he knelt beside her, “you can take the day off and Aiden will happily accept it or should I call him for you?” He asked further and she sighed helplessly. This man was just behaving like a baby right now.“Why don’t I spend the weekend here?It will be better, okay?”“Hmmm” he nodded in a downcast tone then he stood up to clear the table again.Aurora who knew how he was feeling stood up and hugged him from behind,“Stop sulking okay? I will sleep over”His lip’s immediately curved up in a smile, his prank sure did work.“Did you just prank me?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.“You can’t take your words back aura”“I know, sly horse”She helped him clear the table and wash the dishes, after that she decided to watch a movie while he massaged her body.“Aura” this time around, his voice sounded serious.“Hmm” she turned her attention from th
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. God
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
