Aurora's Secrets Chapter 15
The moment Aurora stepped into the institute, she rushed into the dressing room and changed before hitting one of the empty classrooms. When Mozart's 'Fur Elise' came up on the music box, she moved into a resting position and closed her eyes, inhaling softly through her nose. She counted slowly, from ten backwards. It was a mantra she did each time before dancing, something her ballet master taught her. When she reached one, her eyes snapped open, And then she danced. Aurora moved with passion, all the pent-up anger that had been brewing inside her chest, she pushed into her steps. Her toes glided and bounced from the hardwood but she never stopped. As the song drew to an end, she did a fouetté continuously until it ended. Her heart thumped loudly, each heavy breath expelled through her nose, Someone clapped loudly, breaking the quietness. She looked towards the source of the noise and her brows furrowed when she caught sight of the blonde grinning brightly at her, "That was ab

"What!?" Aurora screamed, pulling the phone away from her ear to glare at the screen, "What do you mean there is no Uber available!"The customer agent sighed, clearly frustrated with her antics, "Our drivers usually take a leave on this day of every month. You can check in tomorrow."She scoffed in disbelief, "So you expect me to wait here until tomorrow for your driver's resumption?" "Well, uh-I didn't. What I mean to say is-umm-" The customer agent stuttered and she rolled her eyes before ending the call. She stared blankly at the empty road. Most of her colleagues were gone by now. Evan was being his usual self and there was no other step forward. The only thing she could do now was walk to the nearest bus stop. She adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder before moving to walk when a sudden thought occurred to her. There was still one option left and she dreaded calling him. But there was no other way left, She picked up her phone again and tapped on his contact. He did

The delicious sight of braised ribs paired with mashed potatoes was mouthwatering and she meant it literally. Aurora raised a hand to quickly wipe off the drool that was starting to slip out of her mouth.She heard Ryan chuckle beside her and she ducked her head, too embarrassed to look him in the eye. The aroma tickled her nose making her stomach grumble in response,"Here," Ryan placed a spoon in her hand, "Have a bite."His expression was encouraging but she was doubtful. Her wary eyes darted from him to the scrumptious meal placed in front of them. What would her mother say if she saw her like this?Aurora mentally shuddered at the thought. Since she was a little girl, all she was allowed to eat were low-calorie food. Her mother forbade any meal that didn't have green in them, which meant she didn't grow up eating chocolate or ice cream. Although she had tried eating it once or twice behind her mother's back, it left her always craving more.But this was different. She wasn't alon

She lifted her knuckles but hesitated when it was just an inch from the door, a heavy exhale slipped past her lips and she dropped her hand to the side. Aurora raked her fingers through her wavy hair, muttering a curse under her breath.When she walked through the driveway, she was stunned to see two police cars parked out front. It wasn't hard to guess who had made the call, her mother was overdramatic sometimes.Her initial plan was to sneak back in, cook up an elaborate story about getting lost and put the blame on Evan since it was partly his fault. Now how was she going to do it if there were cops around?She faced the door with determination again and this time, rapped her knuckles against the wooden frame. The door opened a second later, revealing Lottie, a blonde petite maid that worked in the kitchen. Her baby blue eyes widened significantly when they fell on Aurora,"Miss Rochester!" She squealed, pushing the door wider, "Please come in, everyone has been worried sick."She

The sound of soft music filled the air and she allowed herself to bask in the haunting melody, although her eyes were fixed on the stage where her colleagues were dancing about, her mind was elsewhere.No matter how she tried, she couldn't forget what Evan said to her three nights ago. It had kept her tossing and restless on the bed throughout the night, making her a little bit cranky this morning.Her eyes were all puffy and red plus the side of her face was slightly swollen. She had applied some makeup to conceal the dark spots and eye bags but they didn't do a good job. "Aurora," She was also extremely hungry since her mother insisted that she had an apple for breakfast, not to mention how she felt after being grounded for a month."Aurora!"At least, Evan got punished alongside her so that was a respite,"Aurora!"She almost jumped from her skin when she felt icy hands on her shoulders, when she tipped her head backwards, she was met with the face of her friend, Natasha. "What'

"I trust you'll be a good girl while we're gone. If you need anything, Rosa is around to help."Aurora hid back a grimace as her mother pressed a kiss on her cheek. She nodded unenthusiastic, watching as her parents sauntered out the front door. The light slam of the door was a welcome sound to her ears.She turned on her heels and began making her way over to the stairs when Rosa popped out of the kitchen, almost scaring her half to death,"You need to stop walking out like that," She chided the older woman and then crossed her arms over her chest, "What's wrong?"Rosa smiled widely, raising the small silver plate in her hold in offering, "They just came out of the oven. I had to wait until your mother was gone."Aurora couldn't resist the grin that split her mouth, she gratefully collected the plate of freshly baked cookies. Hee stomach grumbling in response to the delicious smell,"You're a lifesaver," She whispered to Rosa who waved her off."Ring me when you're done and I'll come

A sharp gasp escaped her when her hand slipped from the ledge, she looked down and the distance from the ground made her woozy. Aurora grunted, placing her other hand on the railing and swinging with all her might. Her feet made contact with the platform and she blew out a heavy breath. Who knew climbing down from a building would be more difficult than ballet? She swung down the next platform and then the next one after that, all the while cursing Ryan. She didn't intend on spending the night climbing down walls like a thief. It was cold and the outfit she wore was not fit for this activity,Her mini gown was billowing left and right, she'd only worn a thong underneath and it was a lacey material. Ryan was going to hear from her once they'd met!Once her feet successfully touched the ground, she couldn't help but smile at her feat. She moved hastily, sneaking through the rose bushes before sneaking out of the driveway. She had never hated that her house was situated on a hill until

Slam.Aurora winced when his hand made contact with is opponents face. Another hit to the gut sent the man to the ground. A final hit to his jaw and the man was out cold.The referee took his wrist and lifted their hands to the air, pointing at him. The crowd went wild, screaming and crying out his name like he was some sort of hero.And perhaps he was, inside that ring, he was a different person entirely. He moved with grace and calculation, his blows were unpredictable and swung with an intent. Ryan was a force to be reckoned with and everybody knew that."Our winner for tonight's preliminary match, Cutthroat!" The referee announced loudly making the crowd go wild.She arched a brow, giggling softly when Ryan pumped his fist in the air. Another came up the ring with a towel and a bottle of water, they interacted for a short moment before climbing down the ring.Aurora giggled even harder, clutching her now empty glass, "Sandy," She drawled, catching the attention of the brunette bar

Evan slurped noisily from the smoothie cup in his hold, the young mother sitting her her two kids in the table adjacent his kept throwing him dirty glances but he didn't pay her any attention.His focus primarily on the trio walking along the sidewalk, there were about to cross the road and he just knew that they were coming here. After all, this was their usual spot, every Saturday they always assembled here and ordered the same thing.Just as he predicted, seconds later, the three friends bursted through the front door and stealing the attention of most people who were either mid-bite or swallow. Evan watched with hawk eyed focus as the three of them sauntered to the counter, making gestures with their hands as they placed their order.His gaze was fixed on the girl in their middle, the one who seemed much more quiet, allowing her friends to do the talking."Sorry, did you order for a cheese hamburger?" His attention was momentarily stolen by the smiling waitress who held a plate of

Ryan killed the engine of the motorcycle and pulled off the helmet from his head, raking his fingers through the curly strands of his hair. He always hated having to wear the goddamn helmet but the precinct officers were getting serious about road regulation rules so he always had his helmet plus an extra.His long legs crossed the entryway, walking casually into the dimly lit building. A merry tone slipped into his mind and he began whistling, he knocked the usual way on the door and it was pulled open for him to enter."Hey, man," Nate, the large bouncer who usually stood at the gate greeted with a gruff nod and stretched his hand.Ryan accepted it for a shake, patting his back in response. "Rossi has been waiting for you," Nate told him as they both walked through the dark hallway. Since they were already used to the passage, it wasn't hard to find their way past.Ryan grunted in a sign that showed that he had heard, "How mad is he?"From this point, he could hear the loud bass an

Ryan could list off his head a thousand and one reasons why he shouldn't be here just before a fight but he would ignore them anyway. He knew Theo would blow his shit if the big guy found him sitting her but Ryan honestly couldn't help it.Today was a shifty day fof him and he needed some booze to calm his system. He downed the entire glass in one gulp and poured himself another shot. As he swiveled the whiskey around in the ice, Ryan took the opportunity to really look at the bar. It wasn't his usually setting, the place was too bright and it looked expensive as well, obviously for the hotshots but he didn't have any choice. It was the only place close to the ring and if he chose to drive to his usual spot, he was likely to miss the fight which would give Theo even more reason to bash his face in.Ryan looked towards the left, catching the eye of a busty brunette smiling his way. She was surrounded by two other girls and they looked like they were discussing something, although her
Aurora's Secrets Epilogue
She placed the foiled turkey into the oven and closed it shut before proceeding to pull off the mittens covering her arm. Aurora took long strides towards the counter, taking another long look at the recipe book sitting on the counter.It was pure luck that she was able to get Rosa's cook book just before the older woman left for her hometown in Spain. Aurora was leafing through the Christmas recipes on the book and she sighted this particular dish and of course, come gingerbread. Christmas wasn't complete without one.She went on with mixing the batter whilst putting the necessary ingredients. The noise from the living room and overwhelming and she cast a dubious glance at the doorway.Would Ryan be okay with the kids? He wasn't really the best of a role model for the children and most of the times, he joined in on their shenanigans rather than stopping them."Hey, babe!"Speaking of the devil. Aurora smiled warmly at him, giggling when he wrapped his arms around her waist and presse

|FIVE YEARS LATER|"Thanks."She dropped down from the cabby, pulling her shades to the top of her head. The driver came down and helped pull out her luggages, dragging them towards where she stood. She gave him a grateful smile and he tipped his head in response.She watched the house in front of her with a nostalgic smile before moving to wrap her fingers around the luggage handle. Her steps were slow, the clicking of her booted heels resounding against the pavement.Finally, she got to the front door. She took in a sharp inhale before rapping her knuckles against the glass frame. No response came and she knocked again, hearing a high-pitched 'I'm coming' echo from inside.Aurora took a step back and waiting, listening to the rustling on the other side. She blinked and the door pulled open, revealing a disheveled Rosa. "Diós mio!" Rosa gasped, wide-eyed and mouth parted in astonishment, "Aurora!" She squealed in excitement, pulling her into her arms and squeezing her tightly. Auro

"Have you taken everything?"She pushed the suitcase out the door and kicked it close with her booted foot. Aurora blew out the stray strand of hair that had escaped from her messy bun and was now dangling in front of her face. Her father took one of the heavier bags from her hand and she rested the other smaller one on top the suitcase before leaning against it,"Yeah but I packed light, I didn't want to exceed the airport's luggage limit," She answered, pushing away from the suitcase and strolling after her father.Harry scoffed but it was more of an amused one, "This is you packing light?"She threw him a look and chuckled as they meandered downstairs, there was a clanging noise coming from the kitchen area and she cocked a brown"Rosa has been at it since early this morning, claims you need to have good food when you leave," Harry shrugged, "I told her not to bother, the airplane gives good service meals but she wouldn't have it."Aurora laughed softly, nodding her head, "Tell he

Dinner ended after the entire fiasco but she was stunned to see her father laughing proudly, even Matt seemed more livelier than when he first arrived. They walked out of the restaurant together and waited out front for the valets to bring in their respective cars."I wish we could have more nights like this," Matt confessed, a relaxed expression shining in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around Louisa, pulling her closer into him.Her father nodded in agreement, "Me too."Louisa stalked forward, taking her palms and smiling, "I know you're leaving tomorrow and I might not get the chance to see you off but I wish you all the best," She wrapped her arm around Aurora in a comforting hug and she reciprocated the gesture.Matt hugged her after that, reminding her that she would always have a place in their hearts and bade her goodbye too.Their cars soon came and they waited for each one of them to go in and drive off, waving them goodnight."Don't stay out long!" Her father had yelled much

"How do I look?" Aurora peeped over her shoulder at him, fluffing her hair one last time before swiveling to completely face. She smiled, sauntering towards where he nervously stood and reached up to arrange the bow tie around his collar,"I think you look splendid," He cocked his head to the side and she chuckled, "What?" Ryan shook his head, the curls bouncing with the effect, "Nothing, it's just that I wasn't quite looking for that word. What's splendid supposed to mean?"She knew he was joking with her because a devious smile had begun crawling up his lips. Aurora smacked his chest and rolled her eyes, moving to grab her purse from the counter,"Let's go now or else we'll be late."Ryan breathed out but nodded and linked his fingers with hers as they walked out the door. The night's air was quite chilly, she was grateful that she'd decided to wear the cashmere overcoat like Rosa advised."Why do you think your dad wants dinner with me?" He asked as they slipped into the car with
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 80
Aurora walked hand in arm with her father, the weather was fairly gloomy with the sun glowing dimly from between the clouds. She was thankful that it wasn't going to rain today, or at least that was what the forecaster announced earlier this morning. The wedding was a open event, set up in one of the finest gardens she'd ever seen."I think it's going to rain," Natasha muttered from beside her, frowning at the darkening clouds.Mason hissed, jabbing his arm into her side, "Don't jinx it." Aurora smiled at their banter, shaking her head softly. After the entire rollercoaster, she'd signed off from the school to the dismay of the Chancellor. Louisa has gotten the role, thank goodness, and she was in the process of preparing for the main competition which was weeks away."Don't fret," Her father told them warmly as they settled on the last row of chairs, "It's not going to rain, my feet always tingles whenever it's about to and so far, I haven't felt anything."They both gave his open m
