I dropped the call, beaming with joy that I had spoken to Aurora for that long. Finally, I was warming my way up to her heart after so long. If only she knew how I thought about her everyday and that the fact that she had a child did little to deter me from chasing her.I wanted to give her all the love she deserved and I needed her to know it.Getting the chance to move to New York was a blessing. For once I loved that my mother had transferred me to oversee the New York regional headquarters of the family business. She said I needed to catch a break after the divorce which was quite messy because my ex wife wanted to render me broke. If this move wasn't God's plan I don't know what was.I decided I was going to surprise her and not tell when I was moving in. "Lucas?"I looked up from my screen as I heard the one voice I had all my life."Mom, what's up?" She sighed, walking further into my office. She reached for my hand and held it in hers. "I miss you already.""I'm still here
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 85 ~ Aurora
I told River about Lucas when I got home. "Oh my goodness Aurora you're blushing!" She exclaimed very excitedly."No I'm not." I denied with a frown. What the heck was she talking about?"Yes you are. You like him!""River come on, the guy is just... sweet." I said, fighting back a smile."Aurora you haven't blushed in forever. You obviously have a soft spot for him. Admit it!" She insisted, dancing around the room with my son. "Okay I'm going to sleep now. I have work in the morning," I had to avoid this. I did not want her getting any ideas but it seemed like it was too late for that now."You can run all you want but I'll still tease you about it tomorrow. When are you inviting him for dinner?" She asked, wiggling her brows."What?" I was not sure I heard her correctly."Yes. If you could bring your jerk of an ex husband here why not him?"My brows rose, "I thought you did not have problems with Leo?""I do now." She shrugged.I shook my head and laughed. River was a handful.~
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 1 ~ Aurora
Life in itself can be such a rigmarole. Everyone has a turning point. An experience that could change the course of your entire life can happen in a split second and most of the time, there is nothing you can do about it. You just sit and watch because struggling against the tide might drown you.Whenever I get to look back at what my life was and all the lessons it had taught me, I can only let out a sigh of exhaustion and exasperation. Why do some people seem luckier than others?I was a young, naive twenty year old who had no direction, living with old money parents who believe everything is a transaction - even marriage. One very fateful morning, a business associate of my parents came to visit. I was carefree, having a good laugh with my helps in the garden as they tended to my hair - the luscious waves that were the only thing I could be proud of when it came to my physical attributes. My father had one of his guards come to alert me of our visitors. I got on my feet and follow
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 2 ~ Aurora
"You're seriously going to make me wear makeup?" I asked my mother that evening, shocked and amazed at how serious things were getting."Yes. I'm just going to touch up your face a little bit." "Mother,""Shhh. You have to look your best and give a good first impression." She shushed me."But-" I wanted to insist."Hush young lady, you know I'm right."I clamped my mouth shut and let her do what she wanted. There was no point in arguing with her anyway.When she was done, she marveled at the work of her hands. And even I was impressed at what she had done. I looked really good. The mild makeup enhanced my looks so well and brought out the greenness of my orbs.I stayed up in my room, looking out from my window that faced the entrance of our estate. I was waiting to see for myself when our guests would arrive. I wanted to know the kind of car they drove as well as catch a glimpse of the man I was to marry before officially meeting him.I sat there and waited, calming my nerves with a

"He did what? He's an asshole." River said furiously when I told her about how dinner went the previous night."I agree." I said. "But then it's not his fault."She shook her head vehemently, "Oh no, you're not going to blame yourself for being set up to marry a disrespectful jerk.""Maybe I'm being set up and forced on him because no one really wants to marry me." I muttered sadly."Aurora trust me, you are so beautiful, men would topple over each other for you. You just don't get out enough." River always said this. Sometimes I believed her, other times I didn't.Being a homebody meant me not wanting to go out even if I had a chance to. In my case however, I did not get a chance to."There's no point now." I was slowly resigning to fate. "Ohh," she tsked. "It's going to be alright." She came around and hugged me.I nodded. I did not actually believe that but River liked to be positive and I just wanted to avoid another pep talk. "He's kinda cute though." She said cheekily. Of cour
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 4 ~ Aurora
"We are choosing a classic wedding theme." "That is too basic Lauren." Mother disagreed with a vigorous head shake.Leo's mother scoffed, "Rose Gold is childish. We have people of caliber attending." My mother's face contorted into a deep frown, "So do we."I sat still, eyes darting between both women as they argued. I wanted to melt into a puddle. They had been at this for the longest. One person always disagreeing with the other's opinion and I had to sit through it."Can we just let the planner get it done?" I squeaked and recoiled when they both turned to me with fierceness in their gazes."My husband is paying for the wedding. So I get to work with the planner." Mother said and I cringed because of how it sounded. It was not unusual for the bride's father to pay for the wedding but in this manner where it was part of their business deal, it was just embarrassing to mention."My husband can pay for two weddings at once so shush." Leo's mother was not having it.Neither was my mo
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 5 ~ Aurora
Our wedding night was a disaster. I had waited and waited for Leo in our 'matrimonial' bedroom, draped in a robe covering the scandalous lingerie my mother had picked up for me. I sat there, fidgeting the moment he walked in. How was I supposed to seduce a godlike man in such an unattractive body? How was he supposed to even want me when I looked like a sack of potatoes?Low self esteem you might think but I had to tell myself the truth that this was a futile attempt and there was no point in trying. "I'm not going to touch you. Don't even think about it cause it's never going to happen." He said, straight to the point."I don't want this either," I said as a tear escaped my right eye. I knew he was going to say that so I did not understand why that tear had to betray me."Good.""But-" I tried to say something but of course, he cut me off."There's no discussing this Aurora. Let's not force things." "Good night then," I laid on my side, back turned away from him. "Night."Maybe
Aurora: Breaking Illusions 6 ~ Leo
"There's the newest husband in town."Rick was at my office the moment I walked in. I grunted at his tease. He was my best man and he never missed out on the opportunity to tease me about my unexpected union. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on your honeymoon.""What honeymoon? We both know that's not happening." I let out a disgruntled sigh as I took off my jacket and placed it over my swivel chair."Come on man, I saw her, she's not that bad." He shrugged.I scowled, wondering what he meant by that. "How do you mean?" He shrugged again, "I mean you exaggerated how unattractive she looks. She's actually pretty, she just needs to shed all that weight.""I did not exaggerate anything. She's not my type and that's all there is to it. Don't you have work to get to?" I needed him to get out of my space. I had seen and heard enough of Aurora at home, there was no need for it to continue in the office.Thankfully he got the message and backed off, "I didn't mean to get you
