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 soCHAPTER 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. "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 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
