Aurora's Secrets Chapter 43
Aurora moved with intensity and strength, she channeled all of the aggression, passion and frustration that she was feeling as she danced. In the background, she could hear Mason and Natasha tittering to each other. She blocked them out, her feet moving against the floor with grace.She pictured her mother and then Evan and finally Ryan. The myriad of emotions she felt threatened to burst out of her chest and just as she was about to pirouette, Mason swore so loudly it caused her eyes to snap open.The music kept playing and she turned to reprimand him but the words died on her lips when she saw who'd walked in.Louisa Roberts smiled warily, waving a hand in the air, "Hi."Mason was already on his feet, charging towards her, "And what the fuck do you want? Didn't you see the sign outside? This place is occupied, so go." "Actually, I didn't come here to practice," She said gently, "I wanted to speak with you Aurora." Natasha scoffed from where she sat, muttering something in Spanish.

Aurora gingerly shut the door, making sure not to make a sound. She tiptoed into the room, grateful for the lights that was switched on. At least, she wasn't going to bump into anything this time, Aurora mused ruefully.She knew where she had to go this time. When she reached the cabinet, she pulled the top drawer and sighed in relief when it opened without stress.Asides from a few knick knacks, there was nothing there but she caught a small silver box. When she pulled it out, she realized with excitement that it was a laptop. His personal laptop.Aurora snapped it open and pressed the power button, it made a small chiming sound and her eyes flickered warily to the door. The screen showed that it was still rebooting and when it finally cleared, she was shocked to see that it wasn't password protected."Wow, Evan, for an evil mastermind, you sure know how to give easy access," She swallowed and went straight to his files and then clicked on images.There were a lot and she scrolled t

Aurora clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, moving up and downwards in accordance to the teacher's instructions. Professor Elena Monroe gave them each approving glances. "Return to fifth position," She commanded and they simultaneously responded, the sound of their feet moving against the wooden floorboard echoing.She walked past each bars, appraising each of their legs. When she got to Aurora, she paused, humming softly.Aurora eyed her from the corner of her eyes, she expected her to say something but the older woman simply cleared her throat before walking towards the front of the class."Aurora Rochester. Louisa Roberts will you two come up front, please."Aurora frowned. What did she want again? With a begrudging sigh, she released her fingers from around the bar and walked towards the center. Louisa came to a stop a few feet away from her,"I want you two to do a complete round, from first position to the last."Aurora snapped her head backwards, scowling at Elena

"Oh my god, girl! You look hot!"Aurora grinned bashfully, swirling left and right. The mini black dress she'd bought fit her like second skin, it was a sharp contrast to her pale skin but it looked perfect nonetheless. It was sleeveless with flowers embroidered at the hem of the gown, silver rhinestones decorated the rest of the bodice creating a sparkling glow.She'd paired it with midnight blue floral heels that was strapped at the back of her legs and for her jewelry she'd chosen; a diamond teardrop earrings, a black choker necklace and silver bracelets. The entire look was finished with a smoky makeup that made her look like a vixen and her hair was styled into a sleek high ponytail."I can't believe you matched with me though," Natasha grumbled, swishing the skirts of her ballroom gown.Aurora huffed a small laugh, linking their arms together, "I guess that means we both have excellent taste."Although she pouted in a cute manner, Natasha shrugged, "That's why we're besties."Sh
Aurora's Secrets Chapter 47
A small pained wince escaped her parted lips and she quickly withdrew her fingers from the spot. There was red blooming on her neck already, the jerk had almost crushed her windpipe.Aurora sighed, picking up the wipe and sliding it across her face, it was still nighttime and Mason has been the one to drive her back home. Although, he kept questioning her as to why she wanted to leave early, luckily for her it was almost time to her curfew so she used that as an excuse.Now that she was inside her room, her eyes glued on the tender area on her skin, Aurora felt like crying again. Evan was maniacal and he had to be stopped, whatever he was planning.The slight rapping sound on her door caused her to flinch and she turned towards it, her heart pounding erratically.Aurora wasn't always used to locking her doors but ever since her stepbrother's display, she wasn't going to take the chance again."Miss Aurora?" A familiar voice called from behind although it sounded muffled, "It's me, Ros

"Miss, we've arrived."Her eyes flickered to meet his gaze that were peering at her through the rearview mirror. Aurora looked towards the mirror and sure enough, they were parked right out the front of the steps leading to her house.Aurora puffed out a deep breath and muttered a 'thank-you' before grabbing the door handle and pushing it open. She stepped out, one leg after the other and gently swung the door shut. She tucked her phone into her purse before rushing up the stairs, her heels making a clicking sound with each step she took.She'd been avoiding staying at home ever since Evan got back and so far, she'd succeeded in returning either mid-dinner or when everyone was asleep. Whenever her father asked, she would blame it on the upcoming arts convention. He believed her each time.But today, she seemed to have run out of luck because lounging on one of the couches in the living room was..."Mom?" She sputtered in surprise, blinking in disbelief.Miriam Rochester swiveled to fa

Aurora gave her phone screen a final glance before nodding to herself. She swiped the pack from the shelf and strolled to the counter where a lanky guy wearing glasses twice his size stood, immersed in the video he was watching."Hi, um can you help me with this?" They guy's head snapped upwards, the scowl on his face morphing into shock and then surprise.He made a slight squeaking sound, "Y-You, you're that ballerina girl!"Aurora cocked her head to the side, unimpressed with his gawking. She pushed the packet towards his end, "Can you tell me what this drug is for?" He was still open-mouthed, eyes wide open and his face flushed. Aurora gave him a narrowed-eyed look and he blinked rapidly, shutting his mouth,"I-I'm sorry, let me get a look at that," He swiped the packet from the counter, swinging it back and forth, "Oh, it's a common anti-depressant. Why do you need this?"This made Aurora confused and intrigued so she leaned forward, "Anti-depressant?"The pharmacist bobbed his h

"Wow! This is really good!"Aurora munched on the delicious pasta, relishing in the way the savory meal melted on her taste buds. The moment she had one bite, she knew she was gone. Ryan had an amused expression as he stared at her,"Slow down or you'll choke," He warned with a teasing tone.Aurora simply shook her head, in fairness she couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten pasta. Her mother abhorred the dishes, ranting about how much carb it contained and how it was harmful to her health. So pasta was a no-go for her family, until now."I can't," She mumbled mid-bite, "It's too good."Ryan huffed a laugh, "Well, if you want more there's still some left in the pot." She nodded absentmindedly, too invested in slurping the contents of her plate. She didn't realise how much good of a cook he was, Aurora had expected him to be like the typical guy he portrayed.The kind that lived on takeouts and Chinese food. Ryan Thorne was definitely hiding a lot more underneath those good looks

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 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
