Midst of Darkness! 13. Claimed!
Aurora's POV He placed me down on the bed and I fell on the bed like a lifeless doll thinking was I the first girl he was doing that to me. Had he forced other girls too? What will he do once he is done with me? Probably kill me after satisfying himself. I couldn't help but wonder about that. As he promised I was numb, he snatched all my hopes and left me helpless. There was no one to save me. I have no family, I have no one to call a family. Rafael got an easy target, or maybe I was wrong because I don't think even that would have stopped him. I closed my eyes when his thumb touched my lips. He didn't smell like a gun and cigarette that night. There was a hint of freshness in his scent. It invaded my mind when he leaned closer to me, I could feel his breath on my face. "Aren't you going to stop me, Angel?" He asked amused while caressing my cheek with his knuckles. His platinum rings were cold. He wanted me to struggle and then make me realise that I won't succeed. I didn
Last Updated : 2024-04-24Midst of Darkness! 14. Accident!
Aurora's POV "Aurora!" I groaned in sleep as my body hurt with movements. I took seconds before I understood that someone called me in a whisper. Adrenaline rushed inside me and my eyes snapped open, body jolted up as I sat and cowered back with the gasp. "Hey, it's okay... It's just me.." Catherine frowned at me while raising her hands in defence. I sighed in relief and ran my hand through my hair. I thought it was Rafael. My throat was dry, I grabbed the bottle from the table and gulped the water down. My heart went to its normal beating as I looked around and realised that I am still in the library. Catherine made me sleep here after breakfast and I had a good sleep that feels like I have slept for days. Maybe I was really tired. "You look like you have been sleeping for decades." She chuckled, my eyes must be swollen because I can feel it. I don't mind because I am feeling fresh and relaxed after a nap. "Shift is over... And we still have half day left... It's such a
Last Updated : 2024-04-24Midst of Darkness! 15. Framed!
Aurora's POV I looked at the man shocked and frozen in my place. "He is dead!" I mumbled in shock. I looked at his body, it was wounded badly and was heavily bleeding. "He died on the spot!" The man beside him screamed at me. "You!" He got up while fuming in anger. "You are the same girl, right?" He accused. "You had an argument with him in the restaurant... You did it on purpose. You killed him!" I shook my head furiously. I can't do this and that too for little argument. Has he gone crazy. It was an accident for god's sake! My eyes turned glossy. No matter what, he died because of me. "Excuse me, Mr. Whatever!" Catherine gritted. "You crazy fuckers were driving like you were snakes in past lives and you made us lose control... It's your fault and he was a piece of shit anyway." I looked at Catherine. "Don't say that about a dead person." It sounds really bad but she is right, it was their fault that they were driving roughly. Police and medical help arrived
Last Updated : 2024-04-24Midst of Darkness! 16. Paying for disrespect!
Aurora's POV My eyes widened at him, not believing what he was doing here. How did he find out but again, he knows everything. I need to check if he has hired men to follow me. It seems obvious now. He was standing in all his glory, black posh suit. That dangerous look in his eyes and cigarette between lips. I gulped looking at his gun which he lowered after killing the officers who were trying to touch me. The whole police station went silent, just like I am shocked. Ken stepped back and accidentally collided with the chair which brought all of us out of shock. Catherine looked at me confused while holding my hand tightly. I am feeling pathetic to drag this happy soul in this mess. Rafael puffed out the smoke and stepped forward. He dragged the chair in the middle and sat on it like he owns the place. His eyes didn't leave the officer who was yelling at me and extended his hand towards me, gesturing me to come closer. I took a deep breath before crossing the pool of bl
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 17. Letting it slide!
Aurora's POV I blinked my eyes open and frowned when I saw dark streets through tinted windows. My frown deepened when the day flashed in front of my eyes, I quickly straightened and looked around. A loud gasp escaped my mouth when I saw Rafael sitting in front of me and staring at me. Then I realised that I was in his limo. He is taking me home, I fainted at the police station. But why does this man have to scare me every time. I sat straight while fixing my clothes and then again something clicked in my head. "Catherine?" I gasped. Where is she? I searched for my phone and he extended it towards me. I paused, looked between him and the phone he was holding in his large hand. I don't even have a bit of trust in him. I grabbed it and unlocked it. There was a message from Catherine that she got a cab and went home. I sighed in relief after reading the message. I placed the mobile aside feeling his eyes on me. It feels so scary when he stares at me with that blank and dange
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 18. Leather shoes!
Aurora's POV Why is he still here? He had sex then why don't he just leave? I signed as he turned me around on the bed while wrapping his large hand around my waist which made it difficult for me to breathe sometimes. I looked at the ceiling in the darkness as he buried his face in my neck. Our naked skin was the source of warmth. I don't want Rafael to stay back for anything. It makes me feel scared. I know he will leave me after he is over with his lust but if he started staying for more than necessary then it will do nothing but create problems for me. I gasped when he suddenly pulled me closer and my hand flew to his arm to take hold. Why does he have to treat me like I am a rag doll. His hard muscles hardened under my touch. I felt something rough under my fingers, like a healed wound. My eyes widened when I realised who is responsible for this wound. That night! It was another nightmare. I closed my eyes as that night flashed in front of me. I was working in the
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 19. Bleeding punishment!
Aurora's POV A bullet scratched through his arm and one side of his hand was drenched in blood. I gasped, I had no idea what to do. Rafael was standing there unfazed like a bullet didn't hurt him but he was bleeding. How could it not hurt? Or was he so used to it that it had become a habit. How many bullets did he take on his body to not feel the pain? I realised that I was doomed, he had warned me about it and I shot him. I shot the mafia King and he survived! I looked at the door and rushed towards it but that was just another stupidity which I did. The ground beneath my feet slipped when a large hand grabbed me and threw me on the bed making me bang my head on the mattress. "We need to work on your aim, it's too weak" He grabbed the gun from the ground and placed it on the counter again. Near my reach like he wanted me to try again. I crawled back on the bed when he focused on me again. "You think you have power in front of me, Angel?" He smirked and I shook my head w
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 20. How to feel about it!
Aurora's POV It's Sunday, I dried my hair and looked at the man sitting on my bed. It seems to be a lazy day for him. Sitting on the bed and puffing out the smoke in the early morning. What a healthy way to start a way! I rolled my eyes and thankfully he couldn't see me. He was still in a towel, scrolling through the phone and holding a cigarette on the other hand. His freshly washed hair was falling on his forehead. The jaw is set in a thin line, so sharp that it could cut humans like his golden knife. Sunshine is falling directly on him making his toned body glow. He lifted his eyes up from the phone and looked directly at me, making my stomach churn. "Looks like you are thinking of a creative way to kill me, Angel..." He smirked. Yes, I am but it's not that easy and I don't need to accept that. "No!" I looked away nervously. "I was thinking about what to make for breakfast..." I mumbled. "Sure!" He mocked like he knows the reality and focused on his phone again.

Midst of Darkness! 107. Epilogue!
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.

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.

"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.

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?

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.
