Two and Half Years Later.
**The couple shone radiantly, the woman had an oval-shaped face, her white dress which framed a perfect slender body gave her a demure angelic look. One could easily tell she favored one leg though, her hand was clasped around the man. He wore a charcoal suit, his eyes were dark, having the most perfect jawline, his face set in a hard neutral mask. From where they stood upstairs, it seemed to everyone present that the couple was always meant to be at the top. The journalists were busy, cameras kept flashing lights, the never-ending questions continued. "Mr.Tremont, In just two years since your return as T.S CEO, The company has once again taken its spot in the global market, what can you attribute to this success? " A journalist asked.The man answered the question with considerable ease, the pride in his voice could never be mistaken. It was his world. He neverCHAPTER ELEVEN**She would have to meet him no matter what."Wait! Don't go! " Aurora yelled, but her voice was easily lost in the crowd.Heaving a frustrated sigh, she nudged her way passed tight bodies. She was so close to Tremont Stone. Only the security team separated him from her."Mr. Tremont! I need to speak to you! It's urgent!" She shouted again, trying to blend her way passed the security. His eyes located her then, for the briefest of seconds and aurora almost forgot how to breathe, she wore a pleading desperate look, but she doubted if he saw that, no doubt to him she was one of those nosy reporters that were trying to get a peek into his private life. The security guards were trying their possible best not to hurt her, and at the same time ensure that she didn't get too close to Tremont. She pushed her way passed them suddenly. She succeeded! They didn't expect her to be so difficult. The
CHAPTER TWELVE**"Dawddy!""Dawddy!! "The jumbled words welcomed Tremont into the kid's room, seconds later tiny feet ran towards him. He caught Ryan mid-air as he jumped, bringing forth more squeals and laughter. Ryan's laughter was contagious, Tremont found himself grinning as well. "Someone missed me eh? ""Me didn't miss you! " Ryan spoke, a scowl forming on his face as though he had just remembered he had to be upset. "Is someone telling a lie? ""Me didn't!! I'm angwy with you " Ryan spoke, scowling at his father, even though his words were still quite jumbled and childlike, Tremont could understand very much well. In a few months, his son would turn three, he had grown so big that even he hadn't realized when Tremont could still remember the first time his miracle had been placed in his arms, that day would never be forgotten. "Oh? And why is that? " He spoke lifting a brow, Ryan tried to imitate th
CHAPTER THIRTEEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora's eyes fluttered open, she had to quickly shut them close again, the lights were too bright. With a sudden realization that this wasn't her room, her eyes snapped open, she searched around the room with her eyes, it appeared to be a hospital room.An expensive-looking one. She recalled being hit by that metal fragment, and then she had been lifted by none other by Tremont Stone. She nearly shot off the bed, judging from the ray of light that was escaping into the room through the window at the other end, she could guess that it was morning.How had she been unconscious for that long, Mr. Tremont must have long gone. The thought filled her with a surge of hopelessness, she had been so close to him, how had she missed that opportunity?She was consumed with the sudden urge to break down in tears.The door opened and two nurses entered inside, a young woman who looke
CHAPTER FOURTEEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I require a nanny for my grandson."A moment went passed, Aurora gaped in disbelief. Shock made her heart pound faster and heavier. What had she just heard?"You still haven't said a word, is that a disagreement?"Still, Aurora couldn't speak, her mind was thrown into chaos. It was going to happen!She was finally going to see her son?She was assaulted by several emotions, predominant of them all was doubt, she was afraid that this would turn out to be one of her wishful thoughts that would soon disappear in a million bubbles. "No! I m..mean, of course, I'm grateful for your offer ma'am " She responded breathlessly. The older woman's smile broadened as she extended a hand. "Linnet, just call me that, I'll hear from you once you get discharged."Immediately Linnet left, Aurora jumped off the bed, she didn't mind the throbbing pain in her head and left shoulder, for her at
CHAPTER FIFTEEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"He is inside this room " Those words were enough to make Aurora inhale deeply, she shut her eyes tightly closed for the briefest moment, she could hear the violent pounding of her heart.She heard the door push open, her eyes flew open as she followed the man inside the room. That was when she saw him and her gut clenched tightly. He hadn't turned over to look in their direction yet, her legs trembled violently with every step she took towards him. "Hello" She rasped, her throat suddenly sore.That was the little boy who had been so immense in his coloring turned around. The man beside her was speaking to her but Aurora only had eyes for the dark-haired boy who was peeking at her curiously.This was her son! Her heart soared eyes, memories flashed through her head, the first time she had felt him move inside of her belly, the day she birthed him but had only been allowed to hold him f
CHAPTER SIXTEEN **"There are some terms and conditions you will have to sign."Tremont's words made Aurora tense, she held her breath waiting, did this mean that he was accepting her? Ryan who was sitting on a high chair gulped his tall glass of fresh juice with loud noises, the sight made Aurora's heart melt, it pleased her to no ends to see that he had a healthy appetite. She still had a lot to learn about it. "Are you saying that you accept me to take care of Ryan? " She spoke the question to Tremont whose eyes were narrowed in dislike. He didn't bother to hide his distaste for the woman who hadn't bothered with her facial appearance on her first day at work, her eyes had huge dark circles, she looked as though she hadn't gotten a night of good sleep in years, but her clothes were pretty decent and clean enough. Tremont still wasn't sure about her but was willing to give her a chance because she was the first person Ryan had warmed up to i
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora didn't realize the way she held her breath, there was a stir of something in her heart. Jealousy? Perhaps it was the possessive way the women had proclaimed Ryan as hers. Aurora also knew she had no right to be envious. Georgina had definitely spent more time with Ryan, she had taken care of him all these years when she who had given birth to him couldn't, she was eternally grateful to the woman, but still, the sudden constriction in her chest remained."No one is saying that you are not Ryan's mother and I don't think you are unable to take care of him, you spend most of your time in therapy, I don't want you tired out. "This was the second time since Aurora had met with Tremont that she saw the gentle flicker in his eyes, the first had been in the presence of his son.He even spoke softly to Georgina whose eyes brimmed with hurt. It was evident for Aurora to see that he really di
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Dawddy!! " Ryan's excited squeal broke the silence, running as fast as his little feet could carry him, he wounded his arms around his father's legs."Can Aw--ora stay, please? Gwor--fina is too mean! she told Miss Aw--ora to leave." He pouted. Tremont's gaze shifted to the two women, one who had steam puffing from her ears and the other who wore a neural look.Georgina's lips tightened with barely suppressed anger, she walked over to Tremont. "I'll tell you exactly what it is! This woman isn't qualified for Ryan! She's even teaching him to disrespect me! See what he is now saying about me and it all because of her." She pointed a finger at Aurora and shifted her gaze to Tremont, hurtful tears blurring her eyes. "That's not true! I'll never teach him anything bad." Aurora spoke defensively, her gaze shifted to Ryan who was still clutching his father's legs tightly.Georgina seemed to grow e
