Midst of Darkness! 32. Craziness!
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
Midst 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
Midst 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
Midst of Darkness! 35. Pledged!
Author's POV "Oh my god!... How did this even happen?" Patricia cried. Lovina scowled at her fake crying knowing that she is anything but sad because of Jackson's death. "One more word from you, Patricia and I'll attach your head to Jackson's body..." Rafael gritted while looking at the headless body of his brother. His threat was enough to make her shut her mouth. "At least respect the seriousness of the situation, Mom... Jackson is dead, someone killed him brutally. We don't even know who killed him and all you can do is unnecessary drama..." Katrina scolded her in a low voice, not wanting to trigger Rafael who is already fuming in anger. "No wonder everyone hates you!" Patricia scowled. "What did I do wrong?... I am crying for my son." She lit her cigarette. "You don't consider him son..." Katrina looked at her broken leg and shook her head. "Stop faking it for god sake... At least not in front of me." Patricia rolled her eyes. "Whatever I do, you guys always
Midst of Darkness! 36. Weakness!
Author's POV It's been two weeks and Aurora didn't see Rafael. She was relieved that he didn't come but also there was a fear that he would come at any time. She couldn't understand what he was trying to do. Was this another game of his where he was making her think that he left her, give her a sense of freedom and then snatch it brutally. She sighed while running her fingers through hair, realising that his unannounced absence is more disturbing than his announced presence. She has no idea what to consider. Her heart was eager to celebrate her freedom but the mind was too scared to even consider this because Rafael is a nightmare which is not going to leave her mind ever. Now she has time and she thinks that, will she ever be able to live a normal life even if Rafael leaves her? There wasn't anything really normal in her life but still there was a sane part in her life which Rafael came and crushed under his shiny leather shoes. She looked at the shadow when she jumped on
Midst of Darkness! 37. Drop the gun!
Author's POV Aurora went back to the library and Catherine saw her confused face. "I sent you to clear the head and you look completely robbed!" Catherine chuckled at her. Aurora placed her coffee down. "I spilled coffee on one man." Her eyes widened. "What?.. shit!... Was he pissed off?" "No, in fact he got another coffee for me and was polite..." She looked at her confused. "Do we really have that kind of person left behind in this world?" Catherine was amused while placing books on the shelves. "Did you ask his name? Was he handsome?" Aurora sipped her coffee. "Yeah... He was!" Catherine looked at her with raised eyebrows. "More than Rafael?" Aurora choked on her coffee. "No!.." She shook her head. "Rafael looks different... But he is more dangerous than he looks beautiful" Catherine shook her head amused. "What was the name?" "I forgot..." Aurora sighed. "It was something King." She tried to recollect and Catherine frowned at her. "Yeah, Theodore
Midst of Darkness! 38. Taken!
Author's POV Rafael looked at the innocent face which was unconscious in front of him. He swirled the glass of drink in hand as he remembered the gunpoint on her forehead. He never thought that he would ever experience what fear is. The first time he felt his heart skipping a beat when he saw her in real danger. He gulped down the drink when he couldn't understand what would have happened if the trigger was pulled. He couldn't imagine, there was a storm of feelings in him and the strongest feeling was to keep her away from everyone's eyes where no one can touch her even with their eyes. He felt his blood boiling, and he was going to make everyone pay for it. He didn't realise that he was angry because Rosetta touched her and not because she made him drop the gun. Old Rafael would have thought of the former. He called someone. "Her sister is lying in the house, make sure that she pays for whatever she tried to do tonight..." He ordered and disconnected the call. Rafael looked
Midst of Darkness! 39. Rules!
Author's POV "Mariana, take her to the room..." Rafael ordered knowing that she had probably forgotten the way back. She was crying continuously. Mariana came forward and gently wrapped a hand around Aurora's shoulder. "Come!" Rafael's eyes scrunched at her hand which was wrapped around her shoulder. "Don't.Touch.Her" He looked at her with a mad look. He doesn't trust anyone around Aurora, knowing that people can do anything to get back to him or maybe that was just the reason. He doesn't like it even when women touch her. Mariana removed hand from her shoulders and smirked. "I am straight, I am not interested in any woman but if it gives you relief then fine!" She looked at Aurora. "Come!" Aurora started following Mariana as she walked ahead. Rafael looked at the cat who was running and rubbing herself on his legs. "Shadow, go with her" He ordered and the cat followed them. Rafael was impressed that the cat is at least trained to follow orders otherwise he would have
