She heard Felix’s voice behind her, stopping her but she didn’t listen. While on her way, she could see Aunt Sereia laughing along with Vivienne and she clenched her jaw at this. “Are you alright, Aurora?” Asked Uncle Phoenix and she just smiled. Her father from afar immediately noticed it but didn’t say anything. She continued walking until she was outside. “You’re acting weird, Aurora.” Felix started to say after a while. Aurora frustratingly grabbed her hair, “Why do you keep following me?”“Why not? I’m your best friend-““Come on Felix, you’re treating me like a delicate flower. I’m alright on my own now.” She said, Because of this, people were staring at them but she didn't care. “Come on Felix, you’re treating me like a delicate flower. I’m alright on my own now.” She said. By this, people were staring at them but she didn't care. Felix then pulled her to somewhere quiet and said, “Geez, I’m just being kind.” Felix then pulled her to somewhere quiet and said, “Geez, I’m
Aurora felt dread at this, “Felix, what are you planning on doing?”“You’ll see it.” And he marched to where Reagan was earlier. She followed him quickly and saw Reagan and Vivienne were still standing outside the bathroom, flirting with each other. “Felix, what are you-“Reagan’s sentence was cut off the moment Felix’s fist landed on his face. Vivienne yelled in surprise, and Aurora just closed her eyes, predicting that this will happen. If only she didn’t tell Felix about it, then things wouldn’t have to end with this.Although it felt a bit satisfying to watch as Reagan glared at Felix with so much hatred. Damn. Considering how close they were, it must have shocked him. Silence fell and Reagan yelled, “What the hell was that, Felix?”Felix shrugged, “You deserve it for being an asshole.” Aurora wanted to pat Felix on the back proudly but she stood quietly and watched the scene. “Once our parents will know this-““Yes, they will definitely know everything that you did. You cha
Dang. She couldn’t deny that today was such an adventurous ride. She wants nothing but to sleep. Turning off her lights, and slumping on her soft mattress, she inhaled the scent and dug deeper into her pillow. “Getting too comfortable?” She stopped at the familiar deep voice. Slowly, she turned around to see a dark shadow from her window. It was Reagan. Of course, it has to be bad. No sane person would surprise her like that, appearing out of nowhere. And how did he get in here? She closed her window perfectly earlier…“How did you-“Reagan then came closer, putting his fingers on his lips to silence her, “I believe we have lots to talk about, Aurora.” With her lights now turned off, it was all dark across her room, the moon offering its light she caught her breath, afraid to breathe as Reagan in front of her was glowering. She could only catch a few traces of his face, his brown eyes contrasting the moonlight, and his clothes are now changed into his black shirt and gray pants.
Reagan licked his lips and gave her a flying kiss, “Till next time, then, I had fun teasing you.” “There won’t be next time, asshole!” She yelled as Reagan disappeared into the night, using her windows. She heaved a sigh, feeling like her energy was drained out from her. That was the longest conversation she had with Reagan. And definitely the last. Just you wait, Reagan. You’ll definitely regret that. That was Aurora’s last interaction with Reagan. The next day, she packed her things, her clothes, underwear, and all her essentials, with a plan in mind. Aurora didn’t bother waking up her parents as she instantly called Felix, who was in no time in her house as early as six in the morning. “What’s wrong?” Was the first phrase Felix asked as soon as his car showed up in front of her house and came running to her. “I’ll be leaving,” Aurora announced, carefully carrying her suitcase from her hand and a determined expression on her face.Felix looked at her with an alarmed expressio
Just then, the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared.Wait. No, this is no damn way happening.“Hello, Aurora.” He greeted, his mischievous dark hazel eyes and jet black hair meeting her.Of course, it had to be him. Reagan. Damn Reagan. She was once inside this same yacht a few years ago as his parents surprised him on his 16th birthday a yacht. This is where he held his parties and brought his girls over. She let out an exasperated sigh, now tired to deal with this, “What do you want?”She asked, wanting to get to the point. Reagan’s perfectly sculpted eyebrows raised at her, “Should the first thing that comes out of your mind is to thank you for saving you?” “What? Save?” He nodded, clearly enjoying this. “You nearly died from the plane crash. They had an emergency landing in the middle of the pacific ocean so I had come to get you.” He nodded, clearly enjoying this. “You nearly died from the plane crash. They had an emergency landing in the middle of the pacific ocean
He glanced at the clock and saw it was still in the afternoon. Standing up, he headed to the door while saying, “You can take a rest first. I’ll come and get you later when it’s dinnertime.” Leaving those words, Reagan walked away and Aurora was left alone with her thoughts, his words echoing in her mind. She tried to piece everything together. Saved from a plane crash, her belongings saved, but her phone destroyed…and locked up in a yacht in the middle of a damn ocean with her ex-crush and now bastard enemy, Reagan, who swore to make her fall in love with him again. How cruel. ***Aurora stared at the blank wall.She has been doing this for an hour now, and dinner is fast approaching. Dinner also means she’ll have to see Reagan’s face again. She scoffed, not wanting it to happen. All she wants to do now is to go to the Philippines and continue her plan of soul searching there. Yes, he may have saved her from the crash but she couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes. It’s her pr
She carefully tried to read his beautiful hazel eyes which seemed to melt against the moonlight.Reagan glanced at her with a mysterious smile and stood up, motioning for her to follow him, “Come. I want to show you something….”Reagan walked out of the dining room and into the hallway.“Where are you taking me?” Asked Aurora for the millionth time now and Reagan kept silent, just continuing on walking ahead.As the yacht was big, too big for two people to wander around, it took a few minutes to arrive where Reagan was directing her. And when Reagan opened the final door, a scene was waiting for them. It was the deck of the yacht. The serene and calming wave of the ocean was almost drowning and Aurora was in awe in front of her.There were some fairy lights hanging by the wall and a projector playing some movie she wasn’t familiar with, candles and roses placed almost everywhere creating a dim and romantic vibe. In the center was a mini table with some snacks and wine and pillows spre
“A vacation? You’re the only one who’s enjoying this.” She retorted. “Are you sure?” he asked, “Then I’ll try to make it as enjoyable as possible for you. Goodnight, princess.. I’ll see you tomorrow.” With a wink, he disappeared into the corridors. Somehow, inside Aurora’s chest just beat fast, not from falling for Reagan instantly, but both nervousness and excitement for tomorrow to come…Whatever he planned out…she’s really nervous to think about it. And just like that, Aurora returned to her room and instantly fell asleep as soon as she fell on her bed. The next morning, Aurora woke up to the calm sounds of the ocean. One person instantly came to her mind, Reagan.Her head instantly recalled what happened last night and for a strange reason, instead of contempt for Reagan, she was smiling like a fool and looking forward to what will happen today. Now that she could think about it, they are on a yacht in the middle of the ocean. What's the use of refusing this so-called vacation
“I’ll go and cook breakfast for you, '' He said, now finally standing up as he tried to grab his clothes but Aurora stopped him. “No stay, it’s still early and it's only the two of us here.” She said, still fresh from her early morning action. Reagan cursed under his breath, not able to resist her tempting offer. “You’re right, let’s seize this moment more.” And with that, Reagan smirked, now going back to bed as Aurora chuckled. That was what happened last time in Aurora’s household, in her room. “Babe, we’re here.” Said Reagan to Aurora as he stopped by a very beautiful hall. The very famous church in Rome was surrounded by beautiful pink flowers, matching the wedding theme for the place. Aurora looked as if the place was filled with beautiful cars around and more guests were coming, just like them. Reagan noticed her hesitation, “How are you feeling?”“Nervous.” She replied honestly, her heart beating so fast. “Want to ditch this place?” Reagan offered and as tempting as it
Aurora rolled her eyes at how innocent his request was. Really, she was expecting something more, but she couldn't blame him…for now, she has to respect what he wants. “Alright, come here.” She pulled his body near her until she could feel his breath fanning on her face, his nose only a few inches at her and Aurora glanced at his lips before pulling his head to her chest, embracing him. Reagan sighed in relief, looking at her with a smile and contentment. Reagan then grabbed her and he wrapped his arms around her, spooning her from behind and inhaling her scent. “I want to stay like this forever.”Aurora just smiled, feeling comfortable with his touch and closing her eyes to relax. This will be enough for now….And Aurora got the best sleep she ever had in her life in Reagan’s arms. This has been very surprising for her. She has always been tense around Reagan in the past, but now…it’s different. Also, since the moment she was kidnapped, she would have nightmares and dreams as i
Reagan stayed calm and collected, glancing at her and smiling, his smile faltering a bit with nervousness, “Are you feeling alright now?” He started, breaking the silence between them. She faced him, “Yes, I think I’m fine now.” He nodded, “That’s good…I think we need to talk…” She nodded, agreeing with him, “I agree..” Reagan then grabbed something from his pockets and a piece of paper fell. He handed it to her and Aurora looked at it, “What is it?” “It’s a letter that Vivienne gave me. She said to give it to you.” He simply said and Aurora's eyebrows quivered upwards. “Where is she? Why didn’t she give it to me herself?” “Her management took care of her, wanting us to stay silent with the kidnapping incident, they wouldn’t want her fans to panic.” She nodded, understanding her side. With the kidnapping, they have gotten closer. She admits to hating the girl in the past, but now, her opinion of her changed a bit. She felt a bit concerned about her state knowing she took
Her mother smiled, “Well, he was the one who alerted us that you were missing and traced you down…he didn’t even get enough sleep, and stayed with us the whole time.” Her mother simply replied and Aurora gasped. “I know things are still a bit unclear with you two, but he was really worried for you, dear. Let’s talk about that later once we get you to safety.” Just then, her mother held her hand and creased her eyebrow, noticing something, “You’re burning up.” She blinked, “Oh, am I?” And with that, she realized her mind has been hazy and heavy, feeling hot and aching. Her eyesight blurred a bit and felt her body falling to the ground, and the last thing she could see was her mom’s worried face. It all felt like a dream. Aurora’s body was feeling so numb and she felt like she was floating. Opening her eyes, she saw her father sitting beside her. Nurses and doctors checked her state. The doctor sighed. “Thankfully, you just lost some blood and we'll get your foot healed.” And th
The master of the kidnappers grinned at them sinisterly and said, “Well well well, I missed you two, how are you?” Aurora gritted her teeth, wondering about his sudden appearance. Did they put secret microphones in them to be able to hear their plans? Dammit, that was careless of Aurora! If she had known, she shouldn’t have said everything to Vivienne! “We’re going to move you to another place, so better behave babygirls,” said the master. “boys, do it.” Two of the men came to each of them, holding a knife, a rope, and a handkerchief. The other man was removing the handcuffs on Aurora while the other was putting the folded handkerchief and putting it in her eye with a heavy breath, Aurora tried to calm down first, to let the enemies down and she waited for her hands and feet to get released. She then glanced at Vivienne to give her the signal and with one quick motion, she jabbed her elbows at the man behind her, which was covering her eyes. Before the man who released her handc
She can't help but think of her twin siblings. How are they now? they must have gotten taller and more mischievous. A tear escaped from Aurora’s eyes, looking back at her life. Really, things have become messy. She swore to never cry again and be a strong and independent woman, a woman who can do anything and won’t complain about anything… Yet here she is, sulking and crying on the dirty floor locked in an unknown place with the woman she hates who happens to be somewhat dead. Really, she can’t wait to escape from this hell. Before she knew it, Aurora’s eyelids became heavy and she closed her eyes to rest for a bit. It felt like forever but Aurora didn’t know that she fell asleep. Her eyes fluttered open as she was awoken by the feel of someone touching her. She instantly tried to sit upright but the person who was holding her kept her down, and her back hit a knee so the person must have had her body lying on her lap. Her hands were about to hit the person in an alert but she s
“Vivienne..” Aurora called out and looked at her to see her laying on her side, her back facing her. “Vivienne?” She called out again but she still didn’t reply. She narrowed her eyes, carefully checking if Vivienne was not moving. And breathing. Aurora’s eyes widened, her heart beating fast a bit. “Vivienne!” She yelled, now moving closer to her right and approaching Vivienne and she could only reach her ankle as the chains were a bit tight and wounded her legs. She doesn't know what to do. Dammit! She hates Vivienne, but damn this girl better be alive, or else she won’t be able to do her plan! She tried to check her ankle and her blood flow but couldn’t hear any. Aurora felt her stomach now twisting in so much hunger and she breathed hard, trying to fight it. She glanced at the bowl of food and gulped. With the seconds she counted in her head she knows that a day had passed so meaning, their bastard kidnappers are only going to give them food and water once a day. How cru
“So, what do you want? Stop stalling and tell me already.” Aurora said menacingly, her voice throwing daggers at them. She doesn't have to show them that she’s scared, or whine like a brat as Vivienne did. She has to show that she’s strong and calm so they won’t just treat her badly. despite the loud beating of her nervous heart. The leader snickered, still holding her chin. “Oh, what I want is for your mother to suffer. We looked for her everywhere and now that we caught Agent Isleen’s daughter, I wonder what will she reacts to?” Just then, the lights turned on, blinding Aurora’s eyesight for a moment before seeing an old man with white hair and a large burn scar on half of his face. He pointed at his face, “See this? This is the scar she left on me. I want to get my revenge and return the favor to her daughter.” Aurora forced her eyes to look at the man clearly. He’s really old now that he’s under the light. The rough patches of his scar were evident and clearly half on his
The driver laughed, along with the men beside her, and saw there were four of them huddled up to her. The one beside her grinned, pointing a pistol at her as he said, “You must be confused to get in your kidnapper’s car willingly…We came here to kidnap you, Ms. Makarov.” Before she could react, she felt a handkerchief placed on her nose and she tried to fight back, but the men were strong and she wasn’t able to control her breathing as she caught a whiff of the strong smell in the handkerchief. She looked back to Vivienne who she met her gaze, looking at the scene with wide eyes and realizing it too. Vivienne tried to loosen his grip and run instantly but one of the men tried to catch her but was stopped by Vivienne’s bodyguards. The man was more powerful as he was quick to fire his pistol at Vivienne’s bodyguards, killing them. Vivienne’s scared doe eyes who were staring back at her were the last thing Aurora saw as she blacked out. I should have listened to my mom when she s
