CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aurora's eyes fluttered open slowly, the first thing she realized was the sensuous warmth that bathed her back. She recalled the last night and a sigh escaped her mouth as the feelings rushed back to her. Tremont's breathing was deep and even, his arms lying across her waist as they shared the same pillow. Slowly, she turned around so that she would face him, they had been so intimate, so connected in ways she had never imagined possible.She started to trail his features with her finger but stopped just in time because she didn't want to wake him.
She loved him! Her chest squeezed lightly at the thought, Then she realized that she ought to leave. It was about time for Ryan to wake up. A soft smile formed on her lips as she eased Tremont's hands off her waist, she slowly moved towards the very edge of the bed where her eyes fell on her clothes. She slipped the t-shirt overCHAPTER SIXTY FIVE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tremont turned around, the first glimpse at the man, he recognized him. All Tremont could remember was how the man had been too close to Aurora at the last charity function and how he had also driven Aurora. It didn't go past Tremont's notice how the man's attention seemed to be focused on Aurora, and was it just him, or did she seem afraid? He could feel his protective instinct swell up as he stepped forward."Thanks for your concern..." He spoke, realizing that he had forgotten the man's name but he couldn't be concerned about that.George didn't seem to detect the hostility in Tremont's expression, he was staring at Aurora, she looked even more beautiful than the last time he had seen her, all he could do was regret the mistake that separated them. And now, he wanted her back. Meeting her today had not been a coincidence, he had been stalking her silently for quite some time, waiting for the op
CHAPTER SIXTY SIX~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tremont's brain was still reeling even after seconds had gone past, as the silence prolonged Aurora could feel every hope vanishing to thin air.She had done the right thing by telling him the truth, the secret had always served as a wedge between the and now it was cleared. What if he couldn't stand the sight of her anymore? Would he think that she used him? Well, hadn't she?"Tremont please say something, I didn't mean for any of these to hurt you, I couldn't keep the truth to myself any longer, and knowing that you will hate me after...""Who says I hate you? I have only one question to ask you?" Tremont interrupted and Aurora stared at him, he didn't hate her? Then...? She held his stare which only seemed to request one thing from her, truth."When you decided to stay with me, was it only because of Ryan?"Silence followed and Tremont held his breath, he wondered why she thought
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tremont received the call in the morning, the investigator he had hired had just called.Tremont's brows were drawn together, the man said he had discovered something huge that inquired Tremont's presence.Tremont stepped into the diner, it was quite early in the morning, so there were no customers present, it didn't take him long to locate Daniel."What did you find out that you were about to tell me?" He spoke after exchanging a nod of greetings with the investigator."He will give answers to all your questions." Daniel pointed and for the first time since he walked in, Tremont realized another man's presence.The man who was laying carelessly on one of the empty tables was haggard-looking, a half-drunk bottle of alcohol swung in his hands.Tremont stared at Daniel in confusion, he could recall that he had seen the man a few times in the Stanford residence,
CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Georgina awoke to a pounding headache, she held her head not realizing where she was for the next five seconds.She was not in her room! And why were the lights so dim?She started to get up when she realized that she was naked. Shock spread through her whole body when she recalled last night.She had been talking to that man when all of a sudden, she had felt sleepy.She had been drugged!Her hands roamed her body as tears sprang in her eyes, that sick bastard had taken advantage of her!A scream of frustration escaped her mouth.She was going to kill him! He was going to regret what he did! As she searched for her clothes, all she could think of was how this was Aurora's fault, she had taken what belonged to her and left her trapped in this sickening situation.Her eyes fell on a small piece of broken mirror on the wall and she cried and cursed yet agai
CHAPTER SIXTY NINE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"I'm helpless and can't find him, I just don't know what to do!" Aurora watched Tina's distraught features. Tina had been released from prison two weeks ago but she was looking more miserable than ever.Tina had returned to the orphanage on the first day of her release from jail, only to find out that little Sam as she used to call him had gone missing. The management and police had assured her that they were doing their best to find him."I was supposed to care for him!" Tina wiped her eyes, staring at Aurora who wore a sympathetic look. Samuel was by no means biologically related to Tina, but she had bonded with the boy from the first moment he had been brought to the orphanage three years ago."We are going to find him, Ian also promised to help with his connections...""Oh no no." Tina spoke in a rush and Aurora's brow rose in surprise."I mean, he's already done so
CHAPTER SEVENTY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time slowly went past, some days, Aurora found herself thinking if that phone call had been real. If so, who could play such a deep prank with her? Only a few people who knew about Sammie and Aurora couldn't begin to suspect any one of them.She tried hard to concentrate, tomorrow was Ryan's birthday, she couldn't believe that he was finally turning three. This was his first birthday that she was going to be present, she couldn't help wanting it to be as perfect as possible.Arms wrapped around her waist and she smiled before turning around. She stared at Tremont thinking that it was a miracle how their marriage and relationship had progressed so quickly."What's wrong? You seemed stressed lately." Tremont commented, Aurora hadn't realized it but he had caught her staring into space, seeming lost in thought each time she thought no one was paying attention. He genuinely wished that she could s
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.
