Aurora Higgins, the matriarch of the family is mourning, not just the death of her son, but also the destruction of their family name. Because of some escort girl, the name that her husband protected is now tarnished with scandal. Even their family friends are avoiding them. Of course, no one wants to connect themselves to a scandalous family.
Their name, their faces, each and everyone of them are all in every working television in the country. All social media platforms are littered with posts, and tweets about their family, and what Andrew allegedly did to his ex-girlfriends.
"Aurora, we have to do something about this. We can't let this to go on much longer than it already is." Hugo, Aurora's younger brother said. They are all in Andrew's funeral.
"What do you want me to do? Kill that b*tch? It will only prove their allegations against my son!" Aurora exclaimed. She had to control her voice because of the people around them.
"Allegations? They are not
After giving the house that Andrew gave her, Amara took Arman back to her old home. She didn't have any plans on keeping anything that Andrew gave her. Her job is done, and it's time to go back to her their real life.Arman's semester break is fast approaching, and they already made plans. It's better to go through with their plans lay low for a while. She also wants Arman to recover from what he witnessed. Realization also came in to her, Arman should not be involved in anything about her other job."You ready to come home, Amara?" Arman asked while smiling at her. She knew that he was never happy moving into the house that Andrew gave."Yes, I am. Come on."Looking at Arman, being all responsible for her sake makes her smile. He's still young, but she can already see that he will be a great husband. All she has to do is help him maintain that sense of responsibility, and help him become a better man.On their way home, Amara thought of talking to
The serial killing has somehow stopped, and it's both good and bad thing. It's a good thing knowing that no one died because of her, yet. It's a bad thing, because it could be a sign that the serial killer has gone dormant. If that happens, there is no way to find the serial killer. Marvin Sullivan and his partner, Fred were still working on finding anything that could lead them to the serial killer. The media, the regional government, and the majority of the citizen of Burton Grove are demanding justice. There's no way for them to give one as long as they don't have anything to go on. "Marvin, how are you? How's your relationship with your wife? Is she talking to you again?" Fred asked while they are having their lunch. "Still no good. I've tried, man. God knows, I tried. My wife wouldn't even look at me. I have no idea how to reach her." "Why don't you try talking in front of a marriage counselor? I heard those people are really helpful. Who knows,
There's still three days left before the cruise ship docks, and Darson can finally come home. Since the day he heard about senator's death, Amara's well-being, as well as Arman's never left his mind. Sometimes, the thought of them keep him awake whenever he was supposed to sleep. If only he can pull the days, so he can go back already.He decided to work on a cruise ship to forget about Amara. Darson thought that being with other people would help him move on. He even tried to get closer with some of the female crews. But, no matter how beautiful they are, the only face that he sees on them is Amara's. It's like she's everywhere."Hey, you're somewhere else again." Mich said with a smile. One of those women that he tried to find a connection with is her."Sorry. You were saying something?" He asked apologetically."Why do you have to put yourself in this kind of torture? You sad it yourself, she doesn't want to have a relationship with you. Why not just m
Losing a son is worst than dying, that is what every mother says after losing a beloved son. A parent should never bury their children, it should be the other way around. Now, that pain is all that Mrs. Higgins can think about. For her, no matter how old Andrew grew up, he's still the little boy that she used to tuck in bed at night.-Flashback-It's well after New Year when seven year old Andrew fell ill. Mrs. Higgins noticed his tiredness since New Year's Eve, but he somehow got better after taking some aspirin. However, three days after, he can no longer get out of his bed.He sleeps all day, and he didn't want to eat. The only food he wants is his mother's mushroom soup. No maid can make him eat, or even sit on his bed, he only wants his mother."Honey, you still didn't want to eat? If you won't eat, we will be forced to take you to the hospital." Mrs. Higgins said while standing by her son's bedroom door."I don't like the food they're bringin
Nothing in this world is worst than losing someone you loved the most. And, with the death of Senator Adrew Higgins, his entire family is out for blood. They already found out where she lives, and where Arman is going to school.They are like injured animal–more dangerous, and vicious. Higgins family is a pillar of the community, but even them hides a dark secret. People like them don't show mercy when their angry. Now, Amara and her adapted kid is in their line of sight."Our guys are on their way to take the kid. You said you want the b*tch to suffer."Jackson informed Mrs. Higgins after their family lunch."Good. Make sure she knows my pain, Jackson.""Of course, Auntie. Of course."Jackson Higgins is considered by many as the black sheep of the family. That's because it's true. Jackson has a very long list of charges in seven towns in their region. If not for his last name, he would probably in super max right now. It's like cleaning his m
The brave statement of a young boy put the Higgins into the line of fire once again. People are talking about the, in a negative way, and it's like doing a great damage. Of course, a word of a ten year old kid, who happened to be the adopted son of the late senator's ex-girlfriend would be believable.Every local news is now flashing the video of Mrs. Higgins dragging Amara out of the funeral homes. She blatantly accused the poor woman of killing her son for money. Now, the whole country believes the possibility that she has something to do about the child's abduction."I loved Andrew, no matter what everybody say about me. I never asked him for anything. I even returned the house he bought for me and my son."Mrs. Higgins threw a solid crystal at the television causing for the monitor break into pieces. Every servant present immediately left her sight because they don't want to be the focus of her rage. She was panting with her clenched fist already
Because of the Federal investigation, the Higgins family was forced clean up their mess. And by clean up, they got rid of the men who kidnapped Arman. All their illegal businesses has to be covered, and it is causing too much inconvenience for them.Even though the Higgins foundation is painting them as a stellar family, all the rumors about their illegal activities, and the murders that were linked to their names cannot be ignored. This time, they have to focus on doing public service to gain the sympathy of the people."Good morning, guys! How's your day?" Mrs. Higgins greeted the kids on their foundation.There are many reporters present on the event that they implemented immediately. Of course, the people at the foundation are all happy. But, it's not the same with the rest of the country. Every household has has different opinion as they watch the live feed of the feeding event."Nice timing. Typical move of political family." One fat
"Darson! Wake up! Come on! Breakfast is ready." Arman was so excited when he ran to the guest room. It's been a long time since they last saw each other, and Arman looked so happy to be with him again.Amara winced when she heard footsteps rushing down the stairs like horses racing. Both of them were panting when they raced each other to the dining table. Seeing them get together so well makes Amara smile involuntarily. They truly looked like father and son."Amara, are you okay?" Darson asked when he noticed Amara staring at them."Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Let's eat." She responded. Arman noticed that they both look like they were pooping themselves.The awkwardness in the air somehow dissipated when Arman started laughing out of nowhere. Amara's forehead creased, while Darson stared at him like he's from another planet. But, it didn't take long for both of them to laugh as well. The little boy's laughter is so contagious that they can't stop
Arman and Kyle went to the park to play. It's Sunday, and they both agreed to spend every weekends outdoors. This is Arman's way of helping his best friend to forget all the bad things that happened to him. He wants Kyle to be happy, so he will choose to stay with them.It is a sunny day–perfect to outdoors, but because Arman is too matured to play kid's game, he would just sit on the grass and watch Kyle. Sometimes, he would ask himself why he chose to be friends with a childish kid like him. But, every time he looks at Kyle, he would just smile and realize that there's no one he would rather be friends with."Kyle..." Arman's watching his best friend play at the monkey bar when they heard a familiar voice."What are you doing here?" The young boy couldn't help himself from feeling angry towards the man standing near the monkey bar."I just–I just want to talk to my son." Mr. Monroe said in a sad tone. There are dark circles around his eyes, and he alrea
A few days after Darson left, his family is still uncomfortable with the knowledge that his obsession with Amara Keener hasn't stop. Yes, they adore the fact that she saved a little boy from being abused by his stepmother, but it won't change the fact that she's an escort girl. They see her as the kind of woman who will kiss any man's feet in exchange for money. Something that they despised so much.But just like before, they can't do anything about it because Darson always had his own mind. None of them can convince him, especially when it comes to Amara. They also can't change the fact he already love Amara's adopted child like his own."I don't know how long I could let this go on. Our son is a single, responsible man who can make any woman fall for him. Why is he wasting his time with Amara Keener." Mr. Humphrey said."You know your son. He will never change his mind. He's been in love with Amara Keener since he was in high school. Years has passed, and his
Leaving is something that Darson doesn't want to do ever again, but even him knows that he needs to work. If he wants to help Amara provide a good future for Arman, he needs to be hardworking. Especially now that Kyle is also with them.He felt happy that Arama, Kyle, and Arman accompanied him to the port. Even though his family is obviously not happy about it, they agreed not to say anything. Darson knows that it will not be easy for his family to accept Amara again, but he knows that in time they will see how great of a person she is."You take care of yourself, son. Alright?" His father remained him."We will miss you." Said his mother."Be good, okay?" His sisters added."Thank you, guys. I'll see you soon." Darson said to his family. "Hey, kids. Be good to Amara, alright?""We will miss you." Arman and Kyle replied."Just come back safe, okay?" Amara said with a smile."Of course. I made a promise, remember? Take car
"Kyle! Wake up! Come on, it's breakfast time!""Go away! I'm still sleepy!""Get out of bed or I will drag your ass down the stairs?""Fine! I'll just brush my teeth. You can get out now.""Not happening. Go to your bathroom and brush your teeth, I'll wait for you here."I smiled as I listened to those two boys. They really are like brothers, and my heart breaks for Kyle. He's a nice kid, and he doesn't deserve to be mistreated. Now that his dad and stepmother are both facing possible jail time, he's got nowhere to go. Both his parents are only child, and his grandparents are all dead. We are the only ones who can take care of him.I woke up early to prepare our breakfast, and as expected, Darson arrived a few minutes after I'm done. He brought fruits, a gallon of ice cream, and new toys for Kyle. He even brought a new computer for him. I can already see that he will be a great father when the time comes. It's just sad to think that I might
The very next day, Amara called Kyle's father to let him know that his son ran away and called them for help. He demanded for Amara to bring his son back immediately, and even threatened to sue her for kidnapping. But, Amara, being the brave woman she is who never blinks in the face of threats, refused.She told Mr. Monroe to come to their town, and meet her at the sheriff's station. She already called the child protection office, and their representative is already on his way. When Mr. Monroe sensed that Amara will not budge, he agreed to travel back to town. She also demanded for him to bring his new wife."What's your plan?" Darson asked her. They are already at the sheriff's station with Kyle, and one of the female officers is already getting his statement."I'll make sure that Kyle's b*tch stepmother will rot n jail for what she did to him." She responded. Amara can feel her body trembling in so much anger."I can't imagine how a woman would do somet
Earlier this morning, the news said 'Matriarch Of A Crime Family Died Of Heart Failure'. Amara woke up to that news, and the first thing that came to her mind was that she escaped justice. She wanted Mrs. Higgins to suffer in jail. That's what she deserves after everything she done, just like the rest of her family.The only comfort that she has is the knowledge that the rest of her family is rotting in prison. Now that the issue with the Higgins has finally reached its conclusion, Amara can focus of what lies ahead. More specifically about what she has to do with Henry Cambert."Amara, that reporter is outside." Arman announced. She's at her room planning on what to wear for tonight.Henry Cambert invited her on a date tonight, and she's planning on making everything work on her favor. Bartholomew Carter is becoming of a nuisance than help. He's chasing the fame that came with the intense reports he did because of her. Now that she's no longer giving him any in
