Aurora's Secrets Chapter 35
"No, No, No!"She tried to nudge him with her elbow but he caught on quick, dodging her assault with a sly grin as he resumed playing. Aurora chuckled, her focus intent on the game pad in her hands, her fingers working rapidly to press the buttons.She wasn't sure how he managed to convince the hospital staff but they allowed him give her the respite she didn't know she needed. All through the week, Ryan had introduced her to painting, playing bingo with the elderly, throwing darts and now they were currently battling each other in a car race.Aurora couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so hard or ate as much. She stretched forward, popping another pizza slice into her mouth even as she kept hitting the buttons of the game pad. Somehow, he'd been able to convince her to eat anything she wanted. She was sure to gain some pounds after this but it was worth it.The game ended with him taking the upper hand again but she smiled. Ryan turned to face her, grinning cheekily,"You

"Oh, darling!" Aunty Christy cooed, embracing her tightly and pressing a light kiss on her neck, "I'm going to miss you so much." Aurora pulled back giving her a funny look, "You know the only I stayed this long is because I got stabbed, right?"Her aunt winked, pinching her cheek playfully, "But in turn, I got to spend time with my favourite niece in the world.""I'm your only niece, Aunt Christy."The woman waved her off and she chuckled, shaking her head in a fond manner. Aurora spotted Chandler returning from the luggage check-in, he waved a hand in the air when he saw that she had sighted in."So your luggage has been safely transported and here is your ticket," She gratefully accepted it with a smile, "That's all you need, yeah?""Yep," Aurora answered and he grinned, slinging an arm over her shoulder and pulling her in for a side hug."I'm going to miss you so much, kiddo!"Aunty Christy looked up from where she'd been fussing over her daughter's hair, "I told her that too!"
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 37
Aurora woke up with a long yawn, stretching her limbs with a pop. She gave a satisfied smack of her lips and threw her legs over the edge of the bed. A quick glance at the clock on her table told her it was still a little after five which meant that she had a lot of time to prepare.Her goal was simple; avoid breakfast with the family. And in order to do that, she had to leave the house before six because that was when her mother woke up. She paged Rosa first, asking her to prepare a fruit shake and then headed to the bathroom.After a hot shower, she shrugged on a black leggings over plaid mini skirt with a white button-up. Aurora paired it with a gold and black cravat that hung loosely yet stylishly around the collar. She let her fiery locks down and placed a beret that matched her hair colour. She completed her outfit with a pair of black doc martens with heels that made her appear several inches tall. She took one accessing glance at the mirror and a sassy grin crawled up her lips
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 38
"Ouch!"Aurora released a long string of curses as she massaged the throbbing spot with the heel of her palm. Maybe turning off the lights was a bad idea after all considering how she'd walked into so many clutter, the cupboard above bring the fourth of her accidents so far.After righting herself, she pointed her torchlight toward the shelf. She had been searching for some minutes now and so far, nothing incriminating had been found...yet.Aurora's wary eyes darted towards the door when she heard footsteps approaching, she quickly hid her flashlight against her shirt and held her breath. Whoever it was neared the door and her eyes widened a fraction. Just when she thought they were going to walk in, she heard someone yell,"I already cleaned that room earlier. Leave it." The woman sounded suspiciously like Rosa but she couldn't be sure.There was a moment's pause before, "Oh, okay, ma'am." The footsteps retreated and she released a heavy gust of breath. Aurora hadn't even noticed t

"Aurora!""Aurora!""Rory!"She nearly jumped out of the chair when she felt cold hands on her skin. Natasha peered at her in concern, her lips pursed slightly,"Where's your head at?"Aurora blinked stupidly, shaking her head and muttering, "Nowhere."That was a lie. A big fat one. She hadn't been able to sleep a wink ever since last night, her mind racing with thoughts of what Evan's intentions were.He wouldn't possibly share the photo...right?She would not have been so distraught if it weren't for the fact that the angle which the photo was taken perfectly captured her face, luckily, Ryan's own was a bit blurred but it was more than enough to ruin her, forever.After Evan's threat, she'd begun to re-evaluate her plans. But then she let out a curse knowing that she wouldn't be able to stand still while he went on with his plans to wreck her family even if she were not a part of the supposed wrecking."Are you alright?" It was Mason who asked this time, placing a comforting hand on
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 40
He'd chosen a classy restaurant and she had to agree, the boy had fine taste. Aurora had known about this place for some time now and it was extremely difficult to get a reservation in here, plus the dining was crazily expensive but looking at the interior, she now understood why.She took a sip of the costly champagne, enjoying the fizz as it slid down her throat. Aurora had chosen a midnight blue ensemble, it was a two piece outfit. A strapless corset-like top that glued to her like second skin and a tight-fitting long skirt with a slit that ran from the side of her thigh down to her ankle, exposing her alabaster smooth legs. Her long hair was styled into a tight ponytail for once and she enjoyed the way it swished whenever she moved.A guy at the front, played soft jazz on the piano and she found herself tapping a foot along to the beat. The sound of approaching footsteps told her that Matt was back.And sure enough, seconds later, the disheveled male slid into the chair across fro

"Here,"She muttered a 'thank-you' walking past the open door and into the small room. It was dark inside so she kept still until the sound of a switch was being flicked, light flooded the room instantly and her eyes roamed over the area.It was exactly the way she'd left it the last time, the magazine's were still on the coffee table and her favourite couch was still at the former position. Even the TV was on, but it was only showing a static black and white image. Aurora didn't know what she'd been expecting, it wasn't like he was earning that much. Besides she found the place comfortable and warm, a feeling she'd never been accustomed to even in her grand and majestic mansion.She settled into the couch with a shaky sigh, enjoying the way the foam sunk in response to her weight, "How did you find me there?"Ryan was busy taking off his jacket, which he threw unceremoniously on the messy bed. She gave him a look and he rolled his eyes before picking it up and hanging on the rack beh
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 42
The next morning, she woke up with a groan, her eyes snapped open and for a moment she was confused. When the memories of the previous night hit her, a lazy smile crawled up her lips. She moaned softly, trying to stand but it was futile.Ryan's large arms were around her frame and she was tightly snuggled into his warm chest. Aurora would be a liar if she said she didn't enjoy the way their bodies were perfectly molded together. She suddenly wished she could stay there even if it was for this morning but knew that it couldn't be possible.She had to get back home before her parents issued an amber alert.So, she sneakily wiggled away from his hold all the while trying not to wake him. When her legs hit the floor, she let out a relieved breath, turning to face him. He'd taken to snuggling the pillow instead, the sound of his quiet snores bringing another smile to her lips."Good morning, handsome," She whispered, leaning forward to press a kiss on his forehead.Aurora moved quickly, sl

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
