CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The woman stared at the blood in her hands, a killer's hands, but she had not regretted it a single bit. Georgina almost laughed crazily, the ugly idiot who had dared touch her with his filthy hands was dead! He had gotten drunk and Georgina had wasted no time, she had slammed his head with a flower vase until he was knocked out cold. Just to be sure that he was dead, she had grabbed the kitchen knife and stabbed him for every time he had used her like a whore. Now she could proudly say that she was her mother's daughter.She was dressed in an oversized dress she had found at the bartender's house, she walked barefoot ignoring the strange looks she got from the people on the sidewalk. No one recognized the dirty-looking woman and none of them would ever guess that this was Georgina Stanford, Former super international model, and daughter to Harrison Stanford. She had also been Tremont's Stone fia
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora awoke to a sharp painful sensation in her head. All she saw was complete darkness. Where was she? It took her a moment to realize that she was blindfolded, her hands were tied together, so were her legs.Panic and adrenaline kicked immediately, she struggled against the binds but only succeeded in hurting her wrists and ankles.She had been kidnapped by George! Why was he doing this? And Tina, did George kill her? She wondered if Tremont had realized that she was missing. The constant collisions let her know that she was in a car? For how long had she been unconscious and where was George taking her?Her eyes prickled with tears as she thought that she was going to miss Ryan's birthday, what if she never gets to see them ever again?Aurora heard the car screech to a halt, seconds later the sound of the door opening and footsteps reached her ears. "Wake
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I don't know anything! You have to believe me!" Georgina cried. She indeed had been shocked to have been accused of shooting a woman whose name she had never heard before, not only that, Aurora was missing? Not that she didn't deserve it, Georgina thought hatefully."Do you expect me to believe that? this is your last and only chance to start speaking! Where is my wife! And I swear if you've hurt her, I'll ensure you die in such a miserable way!" Georgina had never seen Tremont looking so angry, hate and anger coursed through her veins. In the end, all he cared about was that bitch!It was never her and it would never be! Tremont had all but taken her love for granted.Georgina hoped that Aurora was never found, she hoped that she died a painful death wherever she was! It suddenly came to her realization that if Aurora was missing, it would surely have something to do with George.&nbs
CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You need to be still or we will have no choice but to sedate you!" One of the doctors warned Tina who was struggling to sit up despite the several tubes connected to her body."I h..have to see h..him! It's all m..my fault He took her!" Tears leaked from Tina's eyes as guilt deeply overwhelmed her. She did not deserve to live or get treatments, not after she had betrayed her only friend. She had been too scared back then and had complied to do what that evil man had ordered.If anything happened to Aurora, she wouldn't be able to bear the sin she had committed.Tremont hurried inside the intensive care unit, the moment Tina saw him approaching, she visibly relaxed a bit. "What happened? Who did this to you? Where is my wife?" The distress was evident in Tremont's voice as he walked to stand beside her bed."He took her, please you have to save her! I'm so sorry."Tremont didn't k
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora didn't expect George to scream aloud, his face was squeezed tight in pain as the gun slipped from his hand. His eyes were wide with terror and defeat as he continued to stare at something, or rather someone behind them.Aurora, still in shock and confusion registered the footsteps and movements. Soon after, the police surrounded the room.While they had been distracted in their fights earlier, Aurora and George had failed to realize the cops who had quietly surrounded the building, until it was too late. The police had fired twice at George before he had the chance to pull the trigger on Sammie.From the corner of her gaze, she met two pairs of familiar once.Tremont!He was here!It didn't matter who moved first as seconds later she was flying into his arms. Tremont squeezed her into his embrace, thinking how fatal it would have been if they had arrived even a second la
CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora walked into the hospital room, the doctors had just finished checking up on Tina. Tina was getting better but it would be a few weeks before she could be deemed fit to return home."How do you feel, today? The doctor said you are improving and in no time, you can walk all by yourself." Aurora smiled brightly but got no response, all she got was the guilt and tears welling up in Tina's eyes. A sigh escaped her mouth as she walked to take the seat beside Tina."I already told you that I don't blame you, look you were in an even worse condition than I was."Tina shook her head, she wasn't willing to believe that Aurora could forgive her so easily."I'm so s...sorry, you trusted me so much, I failed you as a friend... Everything you've done for me... I just." Her voice cracked with tears that made Aurora stare at her sympathetically. She didn't understand why Tina was so hard on hers
CHAPTER ONEIt was late in the night, the cold rain pounded mercilessly against the cold skin of Aurora Gibson, her wild hair was splattered on a pale looking face. Her small frame looked even more fragile than usual. She was completely drenched to the skin but her heart was too numb to realize it, neither did she realize the weird stares she earned as she roamed the street in no preferred direction The few hours she had spent in the doctor's office replayed in her mind continuously, his softly spoken but fatal statement lingered in her head.Sam was only six! He hasn't even gotten to learn anything about life! Aurora's feet slowed to a stop and she realized she had somehow managed to find her way home if the large cold building in front of her could be described as such.She lifted her chin to stare at the stormy clouds, perhaps they provided more comfort than what was waiting for her behind the beautiful gates. The momen
CHAPTER TWO**Aurora couldn't close her eyes to sleep, not even after applying ointment to her injuries, those were mere physical wounds, the ones her heart sustained refused to be soothed.Where was she going to get a million dollars for Sammie's surgery? She couldn't bring herself to request George for help, even if she chewed the little pride she had to ask him, she knew for certain he would never help her, both he and his mistress would only make a scorn of her helplessness.She toyed with the wedding band around her finger, the ghost of a smile formed across her lips.How foolish had she been!Three years ago, George had meant everything to her, her whole world had been centered around him, and she foolishly thought she also meant something to him.The happiest day in her entire life had been when he had slipped the symbol of their love around her fingers, vowing to love and cherish her for eterni
CHAPTER THREE**A few days later, Aurora walked into the apartment, she just returned from the hospital and her mood was slightly uplifted as she recalled Sammie's innocent smile while he showed her the pictures he had colored. She heard loud voices coming from the living room and a quiet sigh escaped her mouth, the voices she recognized to be George's, Cassandra, and also of Jerome as they chatted and laughed endlessly. She had no other option but to see them before she would be able to walk upstairs to her room. The first thing her eyes caught on was the bottles of alcohol and half-burnt cigarettes littering across the whole living room floor.They ignored her sudden presence, in the same way, she pretended they were invisible as she started the walk to her room, she didn't get halfway when George's voice rang out. "Why are you in such a hurry, we've got some very great news!" The full excitement in his voice told Aurora that
