Midst of Darkness! 27. Troubled!
Aurora's POV "But the interesting thing is... You had one wish and you didn't choose to save your sister's life..." Rafael asked and I don't know if I should feel guilty about it. It does feel wrong now when he points it out but does she really deserve to be saved after whatever she has done to me our whole life. Sometimes I feel that Rafael is right, I am a fool to show kindness towards the people who don't deserve it. People have done nothing but used and hurt me, my whole life! When he asked me to wish for anything, I thought about myself first because I think I need to be rescued more than anyone else. Am I selfish? "Right from the beginning!" Rafael got up and started unbuttoning his wet shirt, which got ruined while helping me in the bathtub. I don't know how he recognised Aria within seconds. We look so alike that even our parents couldn't tell us apart. "Okay but how did you recognise her?" I asked curiously while sitting up. I don't know what he injected in my

Aurora's POV "Aria!" My heart picked up the beat when she looked at me with her psychotic look. "What are you doing here?... Leave or else I am calling the police." I tried to close the door but she entered forcefully while pushing me back. I should have known that she won't leave so easily. "This is my house too..." She replied looking around. "How do you manage to keep this creepy place clean and all positive when you yourself are a psycho" I sighed. She started again. "Don't you get tired of acting all innocent when in reality you are a crazy bitch?" Fighting for myself doesn't mean I am evil. I need to protect myself and have to fight, no matter what. Aria and I have had crazy fights, to the extent where we almost killed each other. "I gave you money a few hours ago... What do you want now?" I yelled in frustration. "I want to stay here for a few days" She declared and I shook my head after recalling the last incident. "You can't... Just leave before I call t

Author's POV Rafael was still standing in his place while Aurora slipped into the deep slumber as medicine took over. She was in the same position as she was sitting. He was continuously looking at her face, hardly blinking and taking his eyes off her. His mind was thinking of creative ways to punish her sister, he was definitely going to make her cry and regret each and every thing she did to his Angel. She is his girl and no one hurts her, he could have hurt her parents too if they would have been alive. It was getting hard for him to control himself and not to kill Aria at the same time, he wants to torture her. Easy death won't be an option. Rafael pushed himself up from the counter and walked towards his sleeping Beauty. He tied her loose robe and placed her flat on the bed. He gently caressed her arm which was bruised and clenched his jaw in anger. "Only I have a right to hurt you, Angel and even I take care of this body like it's my own... How can I let go of the pers

Aurora's POV The last five days felt like a horror movie, Rafael forced me to take leave from work and as usual, I had no choice. He didn't visit me in these five days like he was giving me leave from himself too. It's not like I missed him but the fear of him coming out of the dark suddenly was too frequent. I couldn't focus on anything else. When I woke up that day, he was gone but my house was completely changed. Windows were changed along with the main gate and locks of the door. I don't know why he cares about my safety now when he himself is destroying it. There was something else in his eyes when he was handling me that day. Something other than arrogance and mischievousness, I have to be fool to think of it as care because you can't expect care from Rafael. The man is so unpredictable and dangerous. I can't tell when he will caress my cheek and when he will slap it. I still can't forget the day where he slapped Aria. It was so brutal, at least she survived. I wo

Aurora's POV I looked at the cat and my heart skipped a beat when I couldn't feel her breathing. "Catherine, she is not breathing!" Sob escaped my mouth. Catherine parked the car in front of the clinic. "Don't give up" She quickly got out and opened the door for me. I got out and we both rushed inside. It was a small clinic and two staff looked at us when we directly entered. "Excuse me!... The clinic is closed." The boy got up and tried to stop us. "The fuck it's closed... Can't you see that it's an emergency." Catherine growled at him and he stepped back fear. "If she died then even God can't save you from me..." She threatened. "What's happening here?" The man who looked like the head came out of his cabin and looked at us. "Sir, she is threatening us" The boy complained. "The cat is not even breathing" He looked at us. "Excuse me, miss... You can't come here and assault my staff" "I am sorry..." I stepped forward. "Please forgive her... She is worri

Aurora's POV "Who killed him?" Catherine asked Ken. "Why are you asking? Do you know him?" Ken frowned at Catherine. "Why? Are you going to arrest us again?" She mocked him. Ken closed his eyes. "Look, we need to check if this is a serial killer or someone has taken out personal grudges... If you know anything then please tell me..." He looked at me. "And I request you to stay out of this, Ma'am" I nodded and kept quiet, not wanting to create problems for him. Catherine sighed. "We were here yesterday... He assaulted his cat and we took her to the Vet.." "Assaulted his cat?" Ken frowned looking back at his house. "Yepp! And let me tell you, he is murdered the exact same way the way he assaulted the cat..." She informed him. "And only you two knew about it?" Ken looked at us suspiciously. Catherine scoffed. "What do you mean?" I looked at her. She was cursing last night that she would kill the man. I shook my head, what am I even thinking. Catherine can
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 33. Scared!
Aurora's POV "No! I don't think she likes me" Catherine gave up when the cat hissed at her. We came to the clinic after work, the Vet said we can take her home but only if she let us touch her because without that it would be impossible to take care of her. I released a sigh. I hope she lets me touch her. I tried again just like this morning and she didn't try to attack me. I gently picked her up and pet her. "Hey, baby!" She is still alert and scared but somehow she is letting me touch her. "Perfect! You can take her..." The Vet said. We thanked him and put the cat in her cage. I feel bad but she needs to be inside until we take her home, so she doesn't scratch us and jumps off the car in the middle of the road. "You are safe now... Don't worry, I will take care of you... We will be best friends." I smiled at her and she just stared blankly at me. "She is injured and scared but just look at her eyes and the way she is sitting... Cats are so majestic." Catherine chu
Last Updated : 2024-04-30Midst of Darkness! 34. Bad news!
Author's POV Does this cat have a death wish? Aurora thought. She was sitting on his chest like she owns him. Rafael looked so pissed and annoyed that it terrified Aurora. She quickly picked up the cat and removed her from his chest. "I am sorry!" She quickly said. Rafael just shook his head and closed his eyes again. Aurora got out of the bed and rushed towards the door. "Girl, I am trying to keep you alive and you are walking straight onto the devil's chest... What's wrong with you?" She placed her out of the bedroom door and closed it. Her heart was still beating fast when she looked at Rafael who was resting. She quickly went to the washroom and locked herself in and tried to calm down her breathing. She thought Rafael would join her like usual but he didn't, she quickly freshened up and walked out. Rafael was still in his place, leaning back and resting with closed eyes until his phone rang and he opened his eyes annoyed. Aurora was in front of the mirror, fixing

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.

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.

"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.
