Aurora's Secrets Chapter 20
"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

Aurora woke with a smile on her face, she stretched her limbs and released a wide yawn. Her blurry vision cleared before falling on the dresser in her room,She looked back down at herself noticing that she was still in her attire from last night. Her cheeks flamed when she remembered what happened at the bar,"Control yourself, Aurora," She whispered to herself, a smile creeping to her lips.A sharp knock from the door drew her attention and she flinched slightly."Darling, are you awake?" Rosa's voice echoed from behind the door, knocking gently.Shit.Aurora flew from the bed, unzipping her dress, "Yeah, yeah, I'll be right out!"She flung the flimsy material away and snatched the pajamas that was laying on the floor, wriggling it on."Okay, but I have to drop your milk, can you open up?" Rosa called again, rapping her knuckles against the door.Aurora blew out a breath and kicked her dress underneath the bed before releasing her hair from the ponytail that she'd previously styled

She threw the last of her clothes into the suitcase before closing it shut. Aurora blew out a breath, huffing as she sat back on the bed. She returned her gaze to her friends who were occupied with peeking at her brother,"How old did you say he was again?" Natasha queried, walking back into the room and sitting beside her.Aurora resisted the urge to roll her eyes, instead answering, "I didn't call you here to ogle my brother," Mason turned at that, making an exaggerated eye roll as he sauntered towards them,"I can't believe you, bitch!" He clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, settling on one of the beanbag on the floor, "Why didn't you tell us that you have a hot single brother living with you?"Natasha bobbed her head in agreement.She scoffed, shaking her head at them, "I never said he was single.""I didn't see a ring on his finger."Aurora gave him an incredulous look before saying, "He's not into guys, Mason. So back off." Mason smirked slyly, batting his lashes

"Ma'am!""Ma'am!!""Ma'am!!!" She woke up with a start, gasping loudly for air and jumping from the bed. She winced when her neck made a small crack from the sudden motion and rubbed the small spot,"Ma'am?" Her bleary eyes rose to meet the flight attendant in front of her.Her brows knitted together in confusion, "What's wrong?" "Oh," She smiled apologetically, "The plane landed a few hours ago, you were asleep so you mustn't have noticed when it did."Plane? Landed? Hours?"Oh shit!" She jumped to her feet, cursing as she did and looking around. True to the attendant's words, there was nobody on board. "Wait, Wait a moment. What about that boy? The one who was here with me?" She pointed at the empty space beside her. The attendant gave her another sorry look, "He must have left with the other passengers when the plane landed, I'm sorry." Evan left? Without her?White hot fury slithered through her veins and she bunched her fingers into a fist. She wanted to say that she was in s

Aurora tried to back a wince when she felt the acrylic being shoved further into her finger, her eyes watered and she quickly looked away. She had no idea that it would be this painful to get artificial nails done and now that she did, she was never going to do it again,"Oh, I think this color would look lovely on you," Her aunt, Christy, literally shoved the magazine into her face, showing her the variety of nail polish on it, "This one, I absolutely adore it," She pointed to a particular catalogue, beaming brightly.Aurora gave her an unimpressed look, resisting another wince when the manicurist forced another acrylic into my thumb, "It's red," She said monotonously and Christy's grin widened,"Just like your hair!" She was starting to hate the idea of coming here.Aurora rolled her eyes, shutting off her aunt's tittering. Her fifteen-year-old daughter, called her attention and Aurora breathe out in relief, watching from the corner of her eyes as the duo fussed about which nail co

"Why the fuck are you smiling like that?"Aurora's head snapped up at the sound of the brusque voice, her eyes narrowing on that of Evan's. He tried to peek at her phone but she quickly hid it away from his view, tucking it into the front of her overly large large. It was a pink fluffy material that she was regretting wearing since it was almost sixty degrees out here, even with the air conditioning she could still feel sweat rolling down her back."Your lover boy, huh?" Evan perused, grinning mischievously.She scoffed and rolled her eyes, choosing to ignore him and facing forward. Her aunt stepped out of the dressing room then, clad in what looked like a black bottega that she was sure just came out this season,Aunt Christy twirled left and right, the light material flowing with the motion, "What do you think? Fabulous, isn't it?"The clerk that had followed her in nodded enthusiastically, "You look wonderful, ma'am!" she clapped, "It's almost like the dress was made for you." Whi

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
