Patrick Connor smiled. The table has turned. Now,it's Aurora who doesn't want to know or hear a thing about Adrian. She doesn't even want him to mention his name.

He hopes he won't be caught in the middle again? He'd learnt from Adrian and he wouldn't get in the middle again. Knowing that Ava Leon was still alive was enough compensation for his estranged friendship with Adrian.

“As you wish, Aurora,” he replied. He would just go along with her. Her life with Adrian and how she wants to pilot it after now, is none of his business at all.

“Tell me, why did you leave your former job?” Aurora asked. She knew about the fight between him and that friend of his, but she isn't expecting them to fall apart.

“We all want to grow, right? I want to be able to stand on my feet. There isn't anything else besides that” Patrick lied. She doesn't have to know anything else.

“Hmmm I believe you with a pinch of salt” Aurora teased. Since he doesn't want to say anything abo

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   Did she say?

    Ray smiled and chuckled. Jimmy is angry and he might take it out on him for what he'd just said. “I meant to say, I'll eventually make her my woman and she'll be the only woman in my bed for the rest of my life” Jimmy glared at Ray with a frosty stare. He had paraphrased his words to suit his ears but that is not the real content of his words earlier. “Aurora is my sister and I don't joke with my family. If you nurture a filthy desire in your heart against my sister, then don't come anywhere close to her. I'm saying this because if I find out that you only want to get between my sister's legs and dump her like your numerous fleet of women, I will forget the rank differences between us and I will strangle you” Jimmy threatened. Aurora must have been through a lot to make her nurse this hatred in her heart against men who want a relationship with her. The feeling of the past still taunts her that she wouldn't say anything about Elsie's father. “You should kno

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   Reconciled

    Adrian paused and sighed. Did he have something else to say to him? He turned to glance at Patrick and saw his eyes welled up with tears. They both stared at each other, eyes moist and cloudy. At that moment, they didn't say a word but their eyes did the talking. Two friends, lost their bond and were ready to mend it back “I missed you, Adrian” Patrick stuttered and took a long strides to him and they both hugged each other tightly. Adrian sniffled and muttered apologies to Patrick. Patrick just kept sniffling. He held his daughter in a hug and now,he was holding him in a hug. He wants to tell him that Ava is alive and that his daughter is a beautiful girl but he cannot. He had promised Aurora. He cannot go back on his words. But he has no grudge against Adrian anymore. The person for whom he was mad with him was still alive, beautiful and attractive. “I missed you more and I thought I would be alone again without you. I lost Ava and my unborn baby, I almos

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   At the launching

    Adrian got to his hotel room, freshened up and stood before the mirror clad in a blue tuxedo and a custom made shoes. His hair well treated, glitters as he styled it to heightened his looks. His V shaped jawline well chiselled out on a pink lips. He looked back at himself in the mirror, satisfied with his looks, he stepped out. He is a prominent figure in the business world. Many haven't really met him, only heard his name. He would meet a few people and possibly strike a business deal with them. What interests him the most is business deals and proposals. And he would like to meet this new business mogul in town. That would definitely foster easy business cooperation in the future. As his car drove into the five star hotel where the launching was taking place, he saw the parking lot was almost filled except that a place was reserved for him by Santiago. Adrian stepped out, looking all charming and cute. He was welcome by Santiago and when the latter saw him,

    They sighted Adrian Lester and left the place where they stood. Luna wants them to inform Aurora that Adrian was there. But why? Aurora and Patrick are the most important dignitaries in this occasion and they are prepared. How can they destabilise them because Adrian was around. If this is the time for Adrian to know,then he should. They can't keep the hide and seek game forever. So whatever would happen, should happen. “Is Aurora ready to meet him? She doesn't want to hear his name,how can she be ready to see him?” Luna complained. Thank goodness they disappeared before he saw them. Adrian Lester was someone they least expected on that occasion. All the way from New Jersey? “She'll eventually meet him one day. The earlier it is,the better it is for her to put that hurdle behind her” Clara insisted. “I want you to meet my sister,” Santiago said and walked Adrian towards a woman who was standing with her back to them, dressed in a long fl

    Then he saw pictures of her, from the days she became a part of the Blake family and when she had her induction as a medical doctor,a few months back. So she's alive? He has sobbed, regretted, did charity all for her soul to find rest and in return, she forgives him. But alas, her soul still exists with this mortal body. As Adrian was still searching more about Ava, Elsie Blake came over and sat next to him “you see uncle, that's why I don't like Ray Grimard. He takes my mommy away from everyone and keeps her to himself…” she complained. Adrian Lester turned and was going to hold the little girl in his arms when a feminine foot approached them. He raised his head and found Ava staring at her daughter with a frown. Actually, she was stealing glances at Adrian. She only fixed her gaze on Elsie when she perceived that Adrian was going to look up in her direction. This is the man who reminds her over and over where she belongs, in society; a low class tramp

    For the next few seconds, Adrian Lester stared at Clara Leon calmly. He held his temper in check. This woman refused to forgive him, she wouldn't accept his apologies because of her daughter, and yet, that daughter didn't really die. He wanted to go past her when the latter said “Adrian,” she called and paused. Now, she's the guilty one. She's the one staring at Adrian with her lips sealed, having no idea of how to begin. “It's not what you think, Adrian” Clara Leon blurted without thinking through. She really doesn't know what to say. Now, Adrian has seen Ava and knows she's alive. How can she explain things to him now? “You mean you know what I'm thinking, Mrs Leon? Then tell me what it is” Adrian snapped at her. Not what he thinks, does she know what he is thinking? “About Ava. I'm sorry that you're just getting to know that she's…” Clara Leon began but Adrian interrupted first, with a chuckle. “I'm glad that your daughter didn't die, Mrs Leon. I'm also ha

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   You were married?

    Clara's eyes welled up with tears. Ava and Adrian’s life together was such that it was filled with complexities. Until this moment, she wondered why the both of them were told the reason why they should be married back then, besides using Adrian's grandfather as an only explanation for it. “Adrian and Ava shared a relationship in the past,an unpleasant one to be precise. But looking at it intently, I blamed myself and my late husband why we didn't explain things to Ava and why their marriage should go that way. My family once helped Adrian when he was a little boy….” Clara explained things to everyone that when she finished, she was sobbing silently. There was a long quietness that followed. Everyone was lost in their thoughts and having many questions to ask, a lot of “why” and “what” “If I get you correctly, Adrian and Aurora were married?” Santiago asked, dazed and surprised at this revelation. Adrian told him his wife was dead and she died with his bab

  • His Unwanted Bride (Married by Mistake)   it's complicated

    As Adrian sat on the edge of his bed, his head supported by both of his hands, he desired nothing at that moment than having Aurora and Elsie in his life. His mind was filled with a mixture of excitement and yet, fear of what the future holds for him. Even if her pure heart decided to let the past slip away in forgiveness, will she be willing to be his wife again? And all the same, he is excited that she's alive. And Patrick, he doesn't know what to say about him. He was supposed to help him but from the looks of things he might not be expecting any help from him, but betrayal. How can he not tell him about her, how can he hide that aspect from him? If he hadn't come, based on Santiago's insistence, he would have still remained in the dark, completely ignorant. How can Patrick do that to him? They've made up with each other and yet, he kept something so important from him? Something as important as Ava Leon being alive? Can he still call him a friend?

    Jimmy's action pacified the entire family but not Simon Blake. This girl called him by his full name and that's a humiliation on its own. How can she be so disrespectful? “You talk to father that way, you called him by his full name and rebuffed his final decision on your stupidity? How dare you humiliate my father this way?”Jimmy declared. Without another word, he pulled Magda by her wrist and took her into the bedroom. He shut the door and bolted it from within and forced her against the wall painfully? “You suddenly became senseless because you are pregnant. You're not the first person to be pregnant in this family but your pregnancy has succeeded in turning you into a maniac. He pressed himself against her to the wall and pinned her chin with his fingers, making her completely powerless and unable to resist him. “I didn't force the pregnancy on you, I didn't rape you either. We made love, we were happy doing it,it pleased us both, we got satisfied and the

    Adrian stood up quickly, he was going to look for her. He searched around and she'd left indeed. He dialed her cell phone but it was switched off. He sighed softly and decided he would talk to her by morning. He sighted Patrick seeing Amanda off. He waited until the latter drove off and went to meet Patrick. He saw his face glow with excitement and he smirked. “You've got yourself a new girlfriend eventually” Adrian stuttered, sounding sarcastic. He didn't expect that suddenly a woman had bonded with him and it's at grandfather's candle night. “She's a friend. Not a girlfriend in the context of your thoughts” Patrick snapped at him. What's wrong if he's been accompanied by a woman? “Whatever. It only surprises me that she sprouted out of nowhere to be by your side. And you obviously forgot that Jessica was here to keep you company at your grandfather's death…” Adrian was saying when Patrick interrupted him. “Shut it Adrian!” Patrick bellowed, his gaze unfrie

    Patrick glanced at Adrian casually and looked away. No one gets really close to his mom and wouldn't fall in love with her. Maybe it's her charisma or it's simply magical. If Adrian of all people could start loving her, it only means that his mom would be on par with angels soon. Because hardly can anyone not love angels. “Luna is an amazing woman. She'd been here often these few days to check up on Father. And last night, she decided to stay up all night by his bedside when she saw his critical condition…” Richard stuttered. The women were busy, instructing the maids and supervising them. Things need to be put in order and a real touch of perfection is all they require. “Aunt Luna, we could just sit and watch. Hasn't the entire decoration been contracted out to a company already?” Aurora urged. The decorations of the mansion have been really given out to a company,now they just needed to await the beautiful work of art that would be done. Jessica kn

    She'd stayed up all night by his bedside to administer his medication according to the hourly prescription. She stayed there along with his nurse. But at midnight, father opened his eyes weakly and said “You're the one here Luna?” He'd asked. Initially she'd wondered why he used those words. But then, she soon understood what he meant. “All these years, I'd always thought Anna will be by my bedside when I die,but she'd gone before me and here you are, in her place” Those were the last words of father to her. Luna sniffled and stood by the sidelines, beside her was Richard. They all were broken and for a while none could console the other. But there was something else that father said and Luna couldn't say it out loud. She'll keep it in her heart in order for her not to act selfishly. “The ambulance is waiting outside. Father's remains must be taken to the morgue” Richard informed. He would be taken there while they made preparations for his funeral.

    It wasn't only Aurora who appeared to be sobbing,Clara Leon looked away hiding her tears. She pulled her hands off Aurora's grip and fetched a tissue paper. She stretched her hand and offered Aurora one and she took it, cleaning her tears too. Adrian knew both of them were sobbing,not for pains or sorrow,but for being pleased with him. He didn't mind their silent sob, he continued: “When grandfather insisted that I should marry your daughter, I thought he was being old fashioned,not considerate nor did he know the feelings of the heart. I thought I knew better but I was a fool. Grandfather was offering me my life saver and I didn't realize it. He was insisting that I hold onto an asset of an inestimable price,but I was mad at his dictates. That made me swear to never have anything to do with your daughter. I vowed to make her miserable and I swear, I did just that. But I was privileged to be given a second chance. It was late when I realised that I had hurt a

    Lena hurried into the office and saw the frosty gaze of her boss, glaring at her furiously. What had she done to make him feel so furious with her? “How did this trash get in here?” He demanded, his index finger pointing to the beautiful flowers that had found itself in the trash can. “Miss Jessica brought it for you and since you're both acquaintances, I let her drop it on your desk…” Lena was explaining when Patrick yelled at her. “Do I look like I am an acquaintance of Jessica? How dare you allow that woman into my office?” His tone was filled with contempt for the one who brought the flowers. Lena couldn't find her voice to answer Patrick Connor. She saw them both together the previous day and even went to lunch together. They're not lovers but they really get together. “I'm sorry sir” Lena apologised. She didn't expect that from yesterday to that morning, their closeness had become history. Something has gone wrong and she was wondering too, why woul

    Nancy just held Charlotte's hands and nodded. She couldn't find her voice. What can she say, her daughter is there for her. She's a fulfilled woman. “I'm sorry everyone for this messy atmosphere. It isn't Magda's fault at all, it was mine. I shouldn't have fallen in love with a she-devil. I shouldn't have allowed my feelings and emotions to blind me, not to have realized what kind of woman I married. It was mine fault, I asked for your forgiveness” Jimmy apologized. He turned to his sobbing mother and sister in-law, who kept wiping the tears off his mother's face “I'm sorry sister in-law. I didn't know that Magda had lost her sanity. Please forgive me for this accusation and humiliation that woman brought to you. Take it out on me however you want but please, don't hate me for this” he pleaded. The atmosphere became a bit less tense. Jimmy glanced at his brother and saw him, with a cold gaze looking away. “Now listen to me everyone so that you can be a wit

    Santiago glared at her in displeasure. How can she say no? How can she feel comfortable living in a place where she's been humiliated and insulted? Didn't she know he was doing that for her, that she should remain the dignified wife of Santiago Blake? Magda has turned into a Hyna and only attacks her from every side. “You will leave here. I am doing this for you. Can't you see how disrespected you've become by Magda,the senseless woman Jimmy trapped himself with? I can't let you stay another hour here. I can't take it if anyone tries to hurt you again. So to keep my mental health intact, we're leaving, you and I this…” Santiago was saying and taking Charlotte's wrist to make her leave with him but she pulled her hand off aggressively. “I said no, Santi. I am not leaving to anywhere. Is it too difficult for you to understand?” Charlotte replied, wiping her tears off and staring at her husband. Santiago is the best man on earth.

    Jimmy was startled and stared at his bride. What is going on, she's instigating a misunderstanding between his elder brother and himself. She's talking to Santiago and telling him lies that he'd been having affairs with his wife? Both Charlotte and Nancy exchanged glances. They've never seen such senselessness before. Right before their eyes, she accused her husband and sister in-law of infidelity? Charlotte was lost for words. What the hell is going on? Does she have anything against her that she couldn't think of something else to defame her except to accuse her of cheating on her husband with his brother? They don't know what Santiago said but Magda hung up and glared at Jimmy with irritation and turned to Charlotte staring at her as if she was going to strip her naked with her eyes. “What has this family done to you that you want to ruin our peace and happiness? You have to provide evidence to this accusation before every member of this family” Nancy stuttere
