The night was cold, and the restaurant was already getting prepared to close, the black-haired girl removed her apron laughing at what her colleague said, and she changed from her restaurant uniform to her mufti.
“It seems like it’s going to rain tonight,” a blonde-haired girl said carrying her handbag as she looked at the dark-haired girl who nodded in agreement. She raised her head and her beautiful blue eyes smiled at the lady looking at her. “I’m waiting for you Aurora,” she said for Aurora to push her hair to the back of her ear. “No need Agatha, Audrey promised to pick me up tonight,” she said for the girl to chuckle. “Audrey this, Audrey that. Ok then, hope to make it to work tomorrow early because, with this weather, I think Audrey will make sure your moans fill the room.” She chuckled for Aurora to shyly smile. “I’ve told you again Agatha, I’m sealed not poked yet.” She said for Agatha to squeeze her brows. “So you weren’t joking when you said it before?” She asked for Aurora to nod. “Don’t you think Audrey will cheat on you?” She asked for Aurora to shake her head. “He promised to wait till I’m ready,” she said smiling for Agatha to shake her head chuckling. “Poor Aurora, come here,” she said hugging Aurora as she felt she was too naive. “Then come to work early, let me get you ready. It's time you get poked baby girl” she said for Aurora to chuckle pushing her hair to the back of her ear while her beautiful shaped lips moved to both sides of her chicks giving Agatha a beautiful smile. “Good night twenty-three years old virgin,” she said for Aurora to blush as she bid Agatha goodnight before Agatha left. Aurora sighed packing her dark hair with her wrist band then waiting at the front of the closed restaurant for her boyfriend who promised to pick her up. The roar of the dark clouds was heard, Aurora raised her head seeing the lightning, and she sighed as it was getting colder. She looked at her little wrist watch and it was 9 pm. She carried her phone and called her boyfriend but after multiple rings, it went off and this made Aurora wonder why he didn’t make it to his promise. As she put her phone back into her bag, the heaven let out its beautiful cry heavily. Aurora sighed as she decided to stop a taxi. She rushed in using her bag as coverage from the heavy rain, After she stepped in, the driver drove away. Inside the heavy rain, the taxi stopped at Newston Street, block 9. “Thank you,” Aurora said and stepped out of the taxi, using her bag as coverage from the pouring rain, she rushed to their apartment door. She brought out her key to open the door but found out it was open. She frowned wondering if Audrey was home but didn’t come pick her up like promised. She walked in dusting the water in her body and bag. Aurora closed the door and dropped her bag. She began to walk upstairs toward their room when she heard a silent moan which made her frown, she gently walked towards the bedroom and as she clicked open, inside the dimly lit room, Aurora saw her best friend riding on her boyfriend. “Ah,” she gasped covering her mouth. “Sara” she called for her friend to turn. “Shit” Audrey cursed pushing the girl down as he tried to cover his body. “Why?” She whispered as tears began to roll down her eyes. “Baby, let me explain” Audrey tried to go towards her but Sara held him back. “You said you were going to break up with her anyways,” she said for Aurora to squeeze her brows as her chest began to rise in anger and sadness. She couldn’t keep staying in the space with her best friend and boyfriend so she ran away. “Aurora!” Audrey called as he followed her but she already ran out of the apartment into the heavy pouring rain. The voice of Sarah saying “You are going to break up with her anyways” kept playing in her head as she ran out of the apartment into the heavy rain. Aurora cried as she kept running till she came out in the city, not knowing where to go she kept on running. Same time, at the elite bar filled with celebrities, a dark-haired guy holding his bear laughed at a girl who had just been rejected by his friend. Opposite where he sat, another dark-haired guy sat quietly with his cold aurora as he stared at his glass of beer, his masculine jawline clinched as he brought out his phone to call on a number but after multiple rings, it hung up. “It’s pouring heavily Damien, Beverly won’t make it” he heard his friend say for the man to drink his beer in one go. “Just have fun tonight with all these beautiful ladies, look that’s supermodel Liona, she’s pretty and willing to be with Damien Vladimir tonight,” he said but still got no response from his friend. After Damien drops his empty glass of beer, a notification sound bumps in his phone. “Hey, Mason” A blond-haired guy called for Mason to smile at him as they shook hands. “ Damien” he called but Mason shook his head at him. “ Will catch up later, I want to meet a director” the guy said walking away. Damien opened his phone seeing an unknown number on his notification, he opened the message, and the sound of a moan was heard. Mason frowns as he immediately looks at his friend's phone. He saw a sex video of Beverly with an actor they just featured in a movie together. “9:30 pm 24th June, that’s today,” he said out the date on the video with a frown. Mason could feel the cold aura coming out from his friend who just stared at his phone. “Wait, this is Micheal Anderson featured with Beverly in the new… Mason was cut short as Damien stood up walking out of the bar. “Damien.. shit” Mason covered his mouth and then carried his phone to call Damien's assistant while he followed him out. “Sir Mas…. “Simon, track your boss's phone immediately, he just bashed out of the bar into his car on the rainy night,” Mason said and hung up. “Beverly why?” He whispered rubbing his hair as he knew what Damien was capable of. Inside the cold rainy night, Damien Bentley drove as fast as they could to the address on the video sent to him. His masculine long fingers hold firm on his steering while he hits on his accelerator moving at high speed. Meanwhile, Aurora who looked devastated running in her wet clothes decided to cross over towards the street to Agatha's house. She kept crying as her body and heart felt hurt from the scene she saw in their little apartment. Without looking, Aurora ran into the road when a car from nowhere came crashing into her. Up in the sky, Aurora felt her body was free, she closed her eyes like it was a feeling of freedom until she stopped in the middle of the air and then fell back when she felt her body slammed on a hard metal surface and her blue eyes slowly open in the pouring rain before it closed back. Damien who was at high speed heard a thud sound which made him immediately stop wondering what he might have hit. He looked around and without seeing anything, he turned on his engine again then he heard a louder thud sound on top of his sports car making him frown. Inside the heavy raining night, Damien opened his car door and stepped out when he saw a lifeless body on top of his car in a pool of blood…The room was in total silence. Everyone waited anxiously for the still-unconscious Beverly to wake up. Mrs. Wales bit her fingers nervously as the doctor finally adjusted Beverly’s blanket.“What do you think happened?” she asked, her voice trembling.“She had a C-section,” the doctor explained calmly. “She lost a lot of blood, but we managed to stabilize her. She should wake up within an hour or two. Luckily, she was brought here immediately after surgery.”Kayla frowned deeply. It must be Damien. What did he do to her? she thought bitterly.“Thank you, doctor,” Mrs. Wales said with a stiff nod.“Aunty, let me speak with the cops outside,” Kayla added. “If we let the authorities take this case, it will just become another cold file. That won’t bring justice for her.” Without waiting for an answer, she walked out.Mrs. Wales held her daughter’s hand tightly, tears spilling down her face.“I told you to forget about Damien,” she sobbed. “You ruined everything, and now… now it can never
The black Benz sped through the rainy night, weaving through traffic as it raced toward the hospital.Police sirens wailed behind. Cops gave chase, but Damien had no time to stop. His guards, following close behind, intercepted the police to hold them back while he kept driving.At the trauma center, Dr. Frankie was waiting. The moment Damien’s car screeched to a halt, he leapt out, carrying Aurora in his arms. Nurses rushed forward with a stretcher, placing her gently on the bed. Damien followed, barefoot, shirtless, his wet pants clinging to him, hair dripping with rain.“Save my wife. No matter what,” he ordered, his voice firm as they wheeled Aurora into the emergency ward.People nearby couldn’t help but gasp. The sight of him—muscular, soaked, his sharp features shadowed by worry—made him look like a water god, a being descended from the storm.“Oh my goodness…” whispers echoed, though they meant nothing to Damien.The head nurse hurried to the scene, curious about the commotion
The room was dark. Cold air from the balcony spread into the room like an open fridge. Damien wanted to apologize after making his wife feel she had crossed a line. The rain was about to begin—the clouds roared, lightning striking across the sky.He gently closed the balcony door and walked toward their inner bedroom. But the large bed was empty, perfectly neat from the maid’s fresh work earlier that evening. Damien frowned, then checked the bathroom. No one. It was as though she had never entered the room at all.His heart skipped. Nervously, his hands clutched his pants. Barefoot, he turned sharply and rushed out, heading downstairs.“Aurora!” he shouted.James, the butler, was on his final nightly rounds when he saw his boss—barefoot, shirtless, only in black pants, his face filled with worry.“Where is my wife?” Damien’s voice held more fear than anger, unlike his usual tone.“The… the madam, I haven’t seen her since she went upstairs,” James stammered.“What do you mean?” Damien
Beverly’s lips trembled, her hands wrapped around her stomach as if protecting her child from predators. “Da-Damien, I don’t understand. I’m seven—seven months gone. Aborting the child means I’m calling for death. Pl—” “I don’t care,” Damien cut in coldly. “Don’t waste my time. I can make it easier for you by pulling the trigger on your head—or your stomach. Choose,” he said, as tears began to stream down Beverly’s cheeks. “Damien, this is your child. Precious, bring the scan so he can see. It’s a boy, Damien—your son,” she said. The maid stood up immediately to go bring the scan, but a gunshot rang out and her body fell to the ground, lifeless. “Ahh!” Beverly screamed, her hands covering her mouth in terror. “Precious… oh goodness!” she cried out in horror. “I’m not joking,” Damien said, causing Beverly to tremble even more. “Will you abort that thing—or should I send you to hell?” he asked. Beverly sobbed uncontrollably. “Spare me… Damien, please. If we can’t be together, l
Agatha immediately rushed back to her room and picked up her bag. She knew this place wasn’t for her. Though she had hopes of being with Mason, after this incident, those hopes were gone.“Where are you going? You’re not going out—”“Aurora asked someone to pick me up. I already talked to—”“Let me take you there, if you’ll feel more comfortable. I’ll check on you once—”“No need, Mason. Please,” she said, causing Mason to frown.“I don’t understand. No need for what? You’re under my—”“I’ll be okay with Aurora. I’ll be safe under Damien. Just do what your mother asked of you,” she said.Mason scoffed and wiped his face.“You don’t have to be worried about that. I’m a man, and that’s my—”“Then make it clear to your mother that we have nothing between us. We’re just friends. She keeps getting the wrong idea, and it’s pissing her off,” Agatha said.Mason frowned deeply.“What do you mean we have nothing? A week ago, we had sex like a couple. And two nights ago, you let me make love to
The study was silent. Damien’s eyes were fixed on Simon, whose hands were shaking and drenched in sweat.“Damien, is this true? Is she carrying your baby? Did you threaten to kill her? Did—”“Leave,” he turned to Aurora, who frowned.“Damien, I need to—”“Stella!!” Damien called, his voice filled with rage, prompting Stella to rush into the study.“Boss,” she said, bowing her head.“Take your madam upstairs,” he said quietly. Stella turned to Aurora, who picked up her phone and walked away.As soon as Aurora left, Simon dropped to his knees, already trembling with fear and tears streaming down his face.“Forgive me, Boss. I couldn’t bring myself to kill her after finding out she’s carrying your baby…” he pleaded, just as Damien cocked his pistol.“You disobeyed my order,” Damien said, pointing the gun at Simon.“I’m sorry, I—”Two gunshots rang out, and Damien walked out of the study.“James,” he called to his butler.“Yes, Boss,” the elderly man replied with a bow.“Take two guards a
