While Grandfather was waiting for Aurora, Clem had gone to see Patrick. He was not sent to him, but decided to invite him for a drink. It is no news to those around Adrian that he was a sibling with Patrick. Patrick came over to have the drinks with Clem. He knows Adrian must have sent him to him to either beg him or find out if he's still hurt and furious with him. As he sat down on the high seat, Clem, poured himself a drink. He signals to the bartender “These aren't going to be enough,serve us more” he requested. Patrick saw him, something was wrong with Clem. He was laughing too exaggeratedly. He kept pouring himself drinks at intervals until he was forced to ask “Why did you invite me for a drink!” Clem laughed again “ What's wrong inviting my boss’ best friend turned brother for a drink? Are you uncomfortable being with me?” He asked, pouring himself another drink. “Those are in the past. Not anymore and I am not his brother” Patrick snapped at him.
Aurora stepped out quickly and went to throw herself in grandfather's arms. Grandfather Lester hugged her tightly “You're going to make this old man stumbled over…” he complained but smiling broadly and kept holding her in his arms. “Grandfather, I missed you grandfather” Aurora chimed, her eyes welled up with tears. A lot has happened and a few years have passed. Grandfather now looks very old and wrinkled skin. His hair had all completely turned grey but his teeth still sparkled white as he exposed them in a smile. “My child…oh my child…you're still alive?” He asked,despite holding her in his arms. Of course she's still alive, otherwise, how can she be standing before him? “I'm alive, grandfather. How're you doing lately” she asked, now circling her arms around grandfather's bent shoulders. This man was definitely a tall man in his younger days, but as old age took tolls on him, his shoulders are now slightly bent and he walks with the use of a stick. “I
Aurora was quiet. Is Adrian going through any challenges at the moment? After trying to ruin her reputation and that of Patrick, is he pretending to be experiencing some kinds of difficulties? “Whatever Adrian is going through, he deserves it Grandfather. For all he'd done and still doing,of course he deserves it. Don't blame yourself for what karma brought to him” Aurora frowned. He pretended to be a changed person by asking her to pardon him and get back to him but thank goodness that she saw beyond his deception. How can she not see through him that he's a lying bastard. And because she refused and insisted on divorce, he eventually agreed after he almost lost his life by her hands. He got back at her, striking her hard alongside with Patrick. “No, it's not Karma. Even if he's paying for his errors and the way he hurts you, isn't it enough? Did he have to die to appease Karma? This is too much for him, he is paying for too much. And that brings me back
The next morning, Aurora took her flight, returning to X-city. She hadn't really slept that much over the night. The worries about Adrian, his whereabouts and the high probability that he might actually be innocent. When Patrick told her that he also embarrassed Adrian, hitting him much more than she did, she felt he had been abused and maltreated. Once she shot him and he almost lost his life. She was surprised that he spared her, didn't call the police on her,and naturally let that case die a natural death. She hopes Patrick keeps to his promise, to help investigate the source of that scandal and try searching for Adrian in any place possible he feels he might be hiding himself. Once she arrives at X-city,she will tell Santiago everything. He would be willing to help out. But how can her fragile emotions take it, if it turned out to be that, he knew nothing about the scandal? True to his words, Patrick searched the entire New Jersey for Adrian but he wasn'
The next morning, Jimmy was surprised when Santiago stared at him with fury and he asked what happened,he had never gazed at him that way before. “I tried to plead with everyone to let things go, about the scandal that broke out, but you kept objecting to it. I may not have lived in New Jersey or witnessed the marriage she had with Adrian but I have never concluded in my heart that he's a devil. If Adrian was so mean, wouldn't he have called the police on Aurora when he regained consciousness that day at the hospital? He did nothing, I'm not sure his family even knew a thing about that incident that almost took his life. And now the scandal,you along with everyone else, pointed fingers at him. He claimed he was responsible for the scandal and eventually Adrian was sued. How do you feel now, to discover that he knows nothing about it? No wonder he refused to apologise publicly. Can you see it now?” Santiago bellowed. His parents are guilty as well. He unde
Contrary to his expectations, Richard answered his phone. He had thought he might not be willing to talk to him at all. Seeing that he answered, Patrick said “Hello” He doesn't know what to say next, before it would have been hello uncle. But now, he is not interested in calling him father and definitely not uncle. “Hello Patrick” Richard replied, his tone relaxed. In his tone, there's nothing in it to indicate that he was still upset with his son. “I was hoping we could meet up briefly sir” Patrick suggested. He is pushed to the point where he needs to talk to Richard, otherwise he would never have called him. He'd also learn something from this whole incident ongoing: we're not self sufficient. We all need each other at some point in our lives. “I'm afraid not. I'm busy. Is there a problem?” Richard asked flippantly. He was going on a business trip. He might not be back until a few days. “Yeah, there's a problem. It's about Adrian” Patrick stut
“No, you don't look drunk,but you speak like a fool” Anna retorted and continued “You lived in luxury with Adrian in the same mansion and I am locked up here and you shamelessly come here to ask me about him? Do you think at all or your mind has suddenly become blurry with your intoxicated feelings of love for your new found ex girlfriend that you don't know a thing about your own son again? Oh! What am I even saying? How can you know about a son you wished was never born? Only now you realise that Adrian is your greatest mistake because you now found Luna and her son, right? Did I ever force you to make a son with me, did I, no, Richard, I didn't. But you spite my son and sent him into delusional darkness, creating an everlasting void in him,why? And now, you walked in here, without thinking twice about your question and expected me to know where he is? I haven't seen my son in months and you asked me where he is? You have failed as a father, Richard.
Aurora couldn't continue this way. She couldn't concentrate on her job, she was absent minded and nothing seems to interest her anymore. The only reason she hadn't given up was Elsie. Her pretty daughter was all she had of Adrian. She refused to give up, to believe that he was dead and got away already. For weeks now, she would go to Elsie's room and stay by her bedside, caressing her hair and asking that she should always call out to Adrian in her soul. She may not have a soul tie with him, but Elsie does. Soul should call out to the soul. She should plead with him to come back to her. He shouldn't give up on life. She decided she would return to New Jersey with her daughter. They'll have to go back to the origin of their lives together. She started with Adrian in New Jersey, she would return there. Elsie will visit her paternal home and meet her elders. It's time to get things in place. Maybe this will help in any way. She's not sure of it, making
“Adrian, please calm down. Aurora and Patrick are here. If they backstab you, you'll know it now. And I think you've made up with Aurora, can you just leave the past behind you? I know you are hurt. For your parents' marriage, your falling apart with your father, your supposed friend turned against you and your ex wife was loyal to your supposed friend. That's why I started with you. This old man is begging on behalf of everyone here, that you should forgive. Please my son, if this is the only thing you will do for me before my death, I would appreciate it…” Old man Lester pleaded. “I'm sorry, Adrian” Patrick apologised. He just wants to have his friend back. Even if they're not brothers, but being friends, he is okay with it. Adrian seemed pacified and his facial expression became calm. Richard then requests that they see each other as brothers and on their shoulders lies the responsibility of looking after each other. He added that Adrian should acce
A hour later, Adrian descended the stairs, holding Aurora's hand and chuckling at something from what only he and Aurora knew. He knew it was time for breakfast and they already perceived the aroma of what could be described as chicken sausage roll. As Adrian got closer to the dinning, his happy expression went darkened. Everyone was seated including grandfather. It appeared they were waiting for them to come downstairs before they would start having their breakfast. But the faces Adrian saw, sharing the breakfast table made him twitch his brow. Luna Wesley was seated along with Patrick. There were two empty seats and it invariably belongs to him and Aurora. Heads turned in their direction and an average person could tell they've made up. Patrick was happy. Silently he sighed in relief. At least Adrian now agrees that Aurora has only been his woman all these years. He'd got nothing to do with her. Adrian scanned around and didn't see his daughter “Where is El
Aurora’s body shivered. The sensation was sweet. She closed her thighs on his fingers, but Adrian parted her legs again, caressing her folds and enjoying the slipperiness of her wetness. “You're not making me high enough” he complained, placing his hand on her hand and making her play with the cap of his cock and down the shaft and Adrian's desire to thrust became stronger. “I want a fuck, Adrian, please just fuck me” Aurora pleaded. She's wet but he doesn't seem in a hurry. She can now feel how his cock was hard with veins bulging on the sides of its shaft. “Sure, but I love to play first” he said and what she heard next was the noise of her panties being torn. He was so fast that Aurora was taken unawares. He started finger fucking her and Aurora moaned, opening herself more for him to get deeper into her and Adrian captured her lips, kissing her hard and fast. “I don't have a condom, Aurora but you'll have to remember…” he was going to tell her to re
This is really the first time Adrian was going to take her lips, in his right mind. He kissed gently and Aurora abruptly put the kiss to an end “Don't you know how to kiss a woman?” She asked, before snuggling herself into him and tiptoed, crossing her arms around his neck. Adrian chuckled at the er words and let Aurora take the initiative this time. They kissed passionately, no reservation, fully expressing their starvation for so long. Aurora snuggled into him, her knees feeble as if she was going to merge into him as one. Adrian placed a hand on her back, holding her tightly against his body and placing the other hand on her back head supporting her. Gently, Adrian's hand caressed her back, stopping at her ass to give it a gentle squeeze. He could feel his desire for a woman ignited. It's been years now, that he last got pleasured by a woman. Now, holding the woman he loves in his arms, there was no reservation. As he tilted his head, kissing her, he could fee
As they stared at each other, different thoughts crossed their minds. Adrian knows that he wants Aurora as his woman again, but does she want him too? He doesn't want to embarrass himself again by trying to make things work out between them. Anyways,he sighed softly and looked away. Aurora was waiting, eager for him to take a step towards her. He should take just that first step and she would take the remaining ninety nine steps to him. “How're you doing Aurora?” Richard chimed. Happy to see her but especially his son. He missed Adrian and seeing him with Aurora and their daughter, he was pleased. “I'm fine. How're you doing too, father?” Aurora replied, smiling. Except Anna Lester that is no more, they appear to be completed and she could say Elsie was taking her place already. “I'm fine my dear” Richard replied. He kissed Elsie and gave her his blessings before turning to glance at Adrian. The later mumbled words that sounded like he was greeting his
Aurora was quiet. That's it, he'd always thought she was having sex with Patrick hence he insisted on a DNA before accepting Elsie as his daughter. “I never slept with anyone while I was married to you and after. You were my first and last man. How can you think of me, sleeping with your best friend?” Aurora bellowed,now her eyes were filled with tears. Adrian sighed and looked away. If they continue talking, they'll get into a tougher fight. They're fighting already and he doesn't want it to get fiercer than it already is. “Fine, I believe you. I'm sorry. But I'm telling you the truth when I said I never slept with Lola, not even once. And okay, no DNA, are you alright now?” Adrian asked, now turning away from her to get into the bathroom. It was only when Aurora heard the noise of the shower that she stepped out. The baby shower was starting in less than a hour. She went to take a bath quickly to get dressed. How can he not have slept with Lola? Is he so di
Adrian sighed softly. He knew it, staying in the Blakes mansion was definitely going to be a mistake. But her family insisted that they want him to put up with them. And now,the first face to come before him was Aurora's. “Hi,” Aurora said, smiling. She was dressed in a brown designer suit and pants. Her hair is styled with a curly tip. She looked gorgeous and a bit taller than usual, thanks to the high heels. “Hi” Adrian replied in his cold but masculine tone. He glanced at her briefly and looked away, focusing his gaze on her face. Beautiful as always, he complimented her in his heart. Aurora stood, expecting him to step aside so she could come in but he remained rooted on the spot waiting for her to tell him exactly what brought her to the door of the guest room where he's spending the night. “Hmmm, can I come in?” Aurora asked, still wearing a broad smile. She watched as Adrian, with a poker face, nodded and stepped aside, letting her come in. “Mom told
He pulled his robe over his bare body and dragged himself to the sitting room only to meet Santiago and Jimmy. He squinted, yawned and mumbled words that sounded like greetings. “Sorry we had to wake you up from sleep. I insisted on seeing you” Santiago informed. They were standing and Adrian requested that they take a seat. “It's okay. Thanks for the condolences, and please extend my appreciation to your parents” He declared, taking the sofa opposite the brothers. “Just my parents, how about Aurora and your daughter?” Santiago demanded, watching Adrian as he poured himself a glass of water. Adrian paused, placed back the glass of water he was holding and chuckled softly. He didn't offer the brothers any drinks because he found them holding glasses of wine when he stepped out. “She didn't come to New Jersey because of me, she's here with Patrick and being present at the funeral was simply coincidental. As for having a daughter, I don't have any” Adrian was
When the Funeral ended, Adrian remained by his mother's tomb and sobbed. All he could say was “Mom, Mom…” he would definitely miss her. The last time he was with her was when his father took him to be a mistake and wished that he was never born. He remained by the tomb, Jess wouldn't leave but stayed with him. Richard stood aside and scooped Elsie in his arms. It's unfortunate that he has to introduce Elsie to Anna as their first grandchild. She definitely would long to hold her in her arms, but it was too late already. Elsie is the spitting image of his lady mother. Father would definitely be pleased that he'd got a great granddaughter that took after his late wife. He was so happy to have her. Aurora stood by, leaning her head against Richard's arms, sobbing silently. She wished that she returned to Anna Lester as her daughter again and not the poor tramp she used to call her. She dislikes Anna but she didn't wish that she died the way she did. Alone, away a
