Aurora's POV"Rafael!"I squealed when he tickled me on the bed. "What did you say?"He asked challengingly. "I said, you are crazy!"I laughed and struggled when he tickled me again. "Really?... Let me show my craziness to you!"He tickled my neck with his stumble. "Okay, I am sorry!"I begged him to stop and he did."Wanna try again?"He challenged. "No!"I couldn't control my laugh. "You are cute!"I pecked his lips."Happy?""Well, I think not anymore because there is someone else cuter than me..."He chuckled. "Dad!"We heard a cute voice from the door and laughed. "Here he comes!"Rafael shook his head amused. "What happened, Champ?"I sat up as our cute son walked towards us with a toy car in his little hand and rubbing his eyes with his little fist. He woke up early today.He climbed on the bed and wrapped his little arms around Rafael. He smiled and caressed his head. I smiled at their bond. Edgardo is really fond of his father. Sometimes I think Rafael is more of
Author's POV Rain was pouring outside, hitting on the roofs and streets with royal authority knowing that it had conquered the city for now. The weather was angry and dark but she felt safe, knowing that she will go home late today. It somehow relieved her. She wished for the rain to pour all night and spent the night in the library itself. Home never felt so scary before. Old but fascinating music was playing in the back as she was noting down the entry of the books. She loves the smell and silence of the library. Since childhood she was fascinated by the books which made her choose her career as a librarian. She enjoys it. Her personality is as poetic as poems hiding in the shelves and as honest as a novel written by a modest novelist. She is soft spoken, has an empathetic heart and smells like fresh flowers. Books are her first love and It makes her feel safe and complete. It's almost ten in the night and the time of closing the library has already passed. But they couldn
Aurora's POV I flicked the switches open to brighten my house. The silence stared back at me with the same horror which my heart holds. The house is beautiful, built by my grandmother with the love she had for her husband and future. It's elegant with the maximum view of the outside garden which I can barely take care of. No matter how much beauty this house holds, it always haunts me. I removed my shoes and stepped on the soft carpet. My heart picked up the race with every step towards my room. It's not a two story house. It's medium sized with a kitchen, hall and two rooms with a rooftop. I use only one room leaving another one as untouched as it was when my parents died. Everyone dies in this house mysteriously. My grandparents died in the same room, people say they were hanged to the ceiling which shows that they committed suicide but no one knows the reason. After their death my parents took their room and after some years they were also found dead in the same condition. I
Aurora's POV I stared at the ceiling blankly as morning light made it visible. My whole body is aching, my throat hurts, my wrists are numb, my private part is throbbing like it's bruised. But my dignity is more wounded than my body. I was assaulted the whole night and I still can't do anything about it. There is no choice but to stay defeated in the bed, my naked body is still tangled with his. His hand is heavy around my belly and I can't breathe because of it. Face is buried in my neck as he is sleeping calmly but I'll be a fool to think that he is in sleep. Rafael never sleeps, it feels like he can see everything with his eyes closed. Little movement and he wakes up. I couldn't breathe due to his heavy hand on belly and I moved. His hand came to my jaw in a firm grip, he is still buried in my neck and I am sure he must have felt my nervous gulp. "Don't fuck up right now" His voice was not sleepy at all which means he wasn't asleep. I don't know if he slept at all and if he d
Aurora's POV Night wasn't showing any mercy. It was like the sky was crying its heart out with the mourn for someone beloved. The wind was angry, slapping and breaking everything which comes in its way. Many predicted that the town was going to flood that day because streets were looking like small rivers. I had left the library early that night because I knew I won't get a cab if I leave at the usual time. The senior allowed and I booked a cab. "Looks like something bad is going to happen..." The driver said while driving through the busy street. Roads were jammed due to heavy rain and everyone was eager to go home safely. I had never seen such traffic for a long time. I love dark rainy nights, they are fascinating and I feel that they hold something mysterious in them. They are saga! But that night was a nightmare for everyone. It didn't start the saga but the misery for me. My cab finally made its way out of the busy streets and got on the way to my home which is is
Aurora's POV I dried myself and wore full clothes to hide marks on my body. I don't remember when was the last time I wore my favourite dresses. The thing is I don't even have my favourite dresses because he didn't let me keep any. He let me walk out when he was done cleaning my body. I changed and quickly gulped down the painkillers. I can't work with the aching body all day. I turned around when he came out with the towel hanging low on his waist and I looked down when he eyes met mine. My face held nothing but submission and I hate it. My heart cries knowing that I can't fight against him. He wore his clothes and I loathed the thing that now my house holds his things too. He comes and behaves like he owns it. He owns me. I feel suffocation whenever he is around, whenever his eyes hold me captive. I constantly feel his hand around my throat. My room is big enough to roam around without colliding with each other but he never likes when I try to distance from him. My eyes
Aurora's POV I literally ran towards the car and got in while slamming the door shut. I won't be surprised if I get a heart attack in the coming days. "Woah! Slow down, beauty..." Catherina chuckled. "I wasn't going to leave you behind..." "Sorry" I replied, maybe I slammed her car door too rough. "Why are you saying sorry" She chuckled and started the car. "Now that I realised, you never really talk to me... You just say sorry and thank you..." I looked out of the window as she started rumbling, Catherina loves to talk and I love to hear her talk. She gives me hopes that I am still in the normal world. "By the way you are blushing today, I mean your cheeks and nose are tinted pink... It suits you, are you using a new blush or something?" How do I tell her that it's because I cried. Yeah! And the blush name is Rafael Delgado. "I don't use makeup" I chose to say instead. She always asks me what my skincare is and what made up products I use, she often checks my purse f
Aurora's POV I stepped back when he stepped forward. Adrenaline rushed inside me and I grabbed the butter knife while placing the paper bag on the table. "Leave. Now!" I pointed the knife at him. He was in his place amused while I was scared to the core not understanding what he wanted. Did I save some serial killer that night, that thought terrified me. He chuckled and stepped forward making me alert, my hold on the knife tightened as forehead started sweating. I was glaring at him but nothing seemed to phase him. I had also forgotten my mobile in the bedroom. "Butter knife! Last time I told you that you need something stronger." He chuckled mockingly. "I doubt this one is going to help you" "What do you want?" I asked not to take my eyes off of him. "You!... All of you, every inch and piece of you, your body, your smile, your tears, your pain..." He stated in determination. "Your soul and everything!" I looked at him in disbelief not getting what he meant by t

Author's POV "Please, calm down"Rafael held her closer as she kept crying. He kissed and caressed her head."You are safe now."She hugged him tightly while resting on his chest."I am scared, it feels like I'll flip again or you will disappear from my hold... Why do we have to suffer so much, Rafael?... Can't we get a happy and peaceful end like other love stories."He smiled and cupped her face. "We are fine now... You are back and I am here... Everything is gonna be alright... I promise, nothing can separate us now."She smiled in tears and hugged him tightly."I love you... I love you so much... I am sorry for whatever I did to you.."He wrapped his arms around her protectively.They heard a knock on the door and looked at Marona. "Am I interrupting you guys?""Marona, please come"Rafael called her inside.Aurora smiled at her and her big belly. "You are glowing, Marona..."They hugged each other. "So happy to see you back..."Marona looked at her. "Let's check if you are
Author's POV Aura came out of the house and looked at the place where she found Rafael for the first time. Her heart clenched in pain. She ran out while crying. "Aura?"Norman came to her."What happened?"He knows what happened but he had to play along."Take me home, please!"She pleaded. Norman led her towards the cab and looked back at Rafael who was watching them from the window.Rafael gave him a familiar nod and Norman nodded back. Aura sobbed as they headed towards their home."Norman, why is this happening to me?""Aura, I am sorry"He looked at her in guilt. "This is not fair."She sobbed harder."You know how much I was in love with him!""I know but don't you think that you got attracted to him because your heart recognised him. After all this is the same heart which loved him.."He rubbed her back. "Is she better than me?... Did she love him more than me?"She asked. "Why don't you find out?"He looked at the diary. "You are hurt like this when you have spent onl
Author's POV Raajnandini's hands shook as she tried to calm herself down. She gulped and wiped her sweaty hands on her dress. "Rafael, you are not lying to me, right?"Rafael looked at her as her eyes turned glossy. "No!"She burst down in tears. "I am really going home?" She covered her face and cried. "Please don't lie to me, I'll die!"Rafael looked out of the window. "I found, Aurora!" He declared and she looked at him shocked. "That's why you are going home!"She wiped her eyes. "I thought you would kill me"Rafael smiled bitterly. "I was going to but when I fell in love, I realised that person can do anything for the love and that's what you did!... Jackson should have stayed away from you after knowing that you are taken... He was at fault too... I just can't kill you after whatever has happened in my life, my heart is not that cruel anymore... I think you have suffered enough for whatever you've done... But I hope that we don't cross our paths again.
Author's POV Aura got ready for the day and walked out."Norman!"Norman looked at her and saw her wearing Aurora's dress. Aura's way of dressing was different, she wears pants with jackets but today she was wearing Aurora's dress. "Aurora's dress?"He frowned."Yeah, I thought of getting ready for the date... And I found this dress in my luggage. It's beautiful so I wore it!"She shrugged."Rafael will love this""You are looking like Aurora."He replied.She huffed."God! Norman? When I don't act like Aurora, you have problems. When I act like Aurora then you have problems..."Norman sighed."What are your plans with this guy?"Aura smiled."Nothing, just going with the flow.""Aura, just remember that it's Aurora's life... And you are just___""And I am just a disorder"She rolled her eyes."Thank you for reminding me... You are paranoid, Norman... If Aurora wants this life then ask her to come out and live it. I am here because she wants me to..."Norman sighed when she walked o
Author's POV "What does it mean?"She was confused.Rafael smiled teasingly at her."You will spend the day with me tomorrow"She blushed at his words."Whole day?... But why and what are we going to do? Is it a date?"Rafael chuckled at her fearless assumptions."Yes, it is a date!"He nodded.She grinned."Why are you taking a girl on a date who stole your money? And I don't have money with me, I am not going to pay for anything..."Rafael couldn't control his laugh, he closed his eyes and let out a genuine laugh after ages. Aura admired him as he looked beautiful while laughing, her heart fluttered and she couldn't recognise the feeling."You don't have to pay for anything, I'll pay!"She frowned at him."Wait! I stole your money and you want me to take on a date and pay for it... Doesn't make sense. Explain?"She demanded. Rafael smiled."How can I miss the chance to take a beautiful girl like you on a date?.."She looked at him with a smile as he kissed her hand."And you didn'
Author's POV Aura looked at the shirtless man and her jaw dropped. His silky hair danced with the wind as his eyes stared at him passionately. He was built like a mountain and was extremely captivating. She felt her stomach filling with butterflies. She has never seen a beautiful man like him. Aura was lost in his eyes when the dog behind her barked. She flinched and hugged him in fear, Rafael engulfed her in a tight hug thinking she was Aurora. He closed his eyes as tears escaped his eyes and the hold tightened on her. He buried his face in her neck and his heart started beating again with her smell. He didn't let her go, scared that she would vanish. Aura blushed as she rested her head on the hard chest. The woman inside her felt happy when her hands touched his muscled back. He was warm and was smelling heavenly. He thrilled her!The dog barked again and she flinched in his hug, holding him tightly. She loved the way she fit in his embrace. Rafael looked at the dog and he
Author's POV "Wow! House in the middle of the graveyard?"She exclaimed excited. "This is so thrilling, Norman!"She entered the house and looked around excited. Norman entered behind her."Thank you for the cleaning... Here's your payment"He dismissed the cleaner. "Is this your house?"She asked."No! It's yours"He placed their luggage inside. "Ohh, you mean Aurora's. The cry baby!"She laughed."You are Aurora!"He replied."I am Aura!... Aurora is sleeping!"She waved off."But this is so cool... I am loving it... Do we have ghosts too?"Norman chuckled at her excitement. "No! We don't have ghosts here... It's late, go and sleep in your room"She shrugged and went to her room. She looked around curiously in the room. "Aurora is so creepy, who lives in an isolated house..."She shook her head. She opened the cupboard curiously and coughed at the dust."Norman, he didn't clean the cupboards!"She complained. "They will come back tomorrow, go to sleep now."Norman answered f
Author's POV "Who told you to save me?"She struggled and screamed on top of her lungs while two staff members were trying to hold and control her. "Please let me die!"She cried while struggling to set free. The receptionist outside closed her ears due to screaming."What's happening inside? Are they torturing the girl?"The new client sitting outside asked her. "No! She is not mentally stable... She lost her husband in an accident so she is getting treated."She replied. "Don't do this!"Aurora screamed."I can't live without him!"She tried to free her hands but they were holding her tightly. "Aurora, calm down!"The doctor said in a gentle voice. "I know it's difficult but look at you... Look what you have done to yourself, this is not the end."She cried harder."This is the end!... I killed him... He died because of me... I have no right to live..."She was devastated."He did so many things for me... I killed him, I am a monster... There is nothing without him, nothing!.
