Midst of Darkness! 51. Rules are rules!
Author's POV Aurora was crying continuously. She was sick to the stomach after remembering the man in the living room. She couldn't imagine herself in his place. Katrina rubbed her back trying to console her. "This is crazy... I can't do this" Aurora cried. "Aurora! Rafael will do something... He won't let this happen, I know!" She assured. Aurora broke the hug. "He just walked away... He didn't even try to stop her" She sobbed. "Because he can't say anything" Katrina sighed. "For years these rules are being followed and as a king Rafael has to follow them.. if he will break the rules then no one will respect him, people will think that he is weak and it's not good... He has responsibilities" Aurora looked at her in disbelief. "Punishing people brutally is what his responsibility is?" "No!" She shook her head. "People in our world are criminals, Aurora... They don't understand gentle things. They have to be treated like this, or else they won't listen or follo
Midst of Darkness! 52. How to survive?
Aurora's POV I looked at him as he sat on the bed without a shirt and face void like it's not hurting him. I am still shaken from whatever happened today. How can Patricia hold so much venom and do all this. If it wasn't for Rafael then I can't imagine what she would have done to me. Tears escaped my eyes again when I thought about it. "Why are you crying now?" He asked simply tossing the cap of the syringe with his thumb and then injecting it in his arm. "I am sorry" My lips wobbled as I looked at his burnt flesh. My body is still trembling. He never goes to the doctor, always treats himself. I don't know how to feel about it, what he was thinking when he stepped forward on behalf of me? "For what?" He asked while opening the ointment. "I don't know." I covered my face and started crying again. I felt him grabbing my arm and pulling me closer. His large hand wrapped around me as he held me against his chest and I hugged him tightly. I don't know why but I nee
Midst of Darkness! 53. Just a document!
Aurora's POV I looked at the ring which he has slid on my finger. "You are allowed to freak out, don't hold it in" He kissed my hand. I looked at him and started laughing. "Marriage?" I looked at him between laughing. He stepped back from me and let me laugh like he knows that it's a part of my mourn. My eyes watered due to laughing. "If I didn't know better, I would have thought that you were happy" He chuckled amused. I looked at the ring, it shined under the light of the balcony and reflected everywhere making it sparkle. The diamond is big and clearly worth a fortune. "Want to give the name to the sins you have done to me, Rafael?" I looked at him mockingly. "Or do you think that marriage will tie me to you?" "No, Angel!" He replied placing hands on his pockets like a boss he is. "I don't need any validation to tie you with me. But I'll make you mine in each and every way possible which this world has created. Marriage is one of those" "I don't believe in ma
Midst of Darkness! 54. At peace!
Author's POV Aurora groaned in sleep when she felt wetness on her face. "Shadow, stop... Go away!" Shadow always does that to wake her up. "Do I kiss like a fucking cat?" She heard that deep voice and her eyes snapped open. Rafael was on top of her. She gulped when he started pampering her face with kisses. "Good morning, Wife!" He smiled. She frowned and turned her face away. "Don't call me that, Rafael... Please!" He chuckled and teased her nose with his. "Why do you hate this word so much?" "Because my father used to call that to my mother" She mumbled and his smile disappeared. He sat up and she sighed in relief. "I won't call you that" She looked at him confused and sat up not understanding why he agreed so easily. "Why did you agree so easily?" She frowned. "What do you want? If I don't agree, you have problems. If I agree you have problems." He looked at her. She ran her fingers through her messy hair and closed her eyes when her diamond ring reflec
Midst of Darkness! 55. Preparations!
Author's POV "You are looking refreshing today" Rafael teased her when she stood in front of him in a lemon colour dress. She just looked at him blankly. "Let's go... You must be hungry after crying and screaming." He wrapped his arm around her waist and looked at her adoringly. She was actually really hungry so she stayed quiet and followed him downstairs. She frowned when she saw everyone at the dining table, no one usually eats at the dining table. Everyone is busy with their own work. Aurora took her seat next to Rafael and Katrina smiled at her. Aurora forced a smile and started eating her food as she was starving. The sunlight fell on her ring and it shined in the whole hall. Katrina grinned when she saw the ring on her finger. Lovina and Mariana looked at it amused and surprised while Patricia was burning in jealousy and anger. Tiara's jaw dropped at the ring. "That's why we are together at the dining table!" Katrina chirped in excitement. "We have good
Midst of Darkness! 56. Someone!
Author's POV "What do you want from this house?" Katrina asked while standing in front of Aurora's house. "I thought I packed everything and gave it to Rafael." Aurora looked at her. "You delivered my things to him?" She shook her head. "Look, babe. I couldn't stop your kidnapping so the best I could do was give you your beloved things." She shrugged. Aurora sighed and entered the house. She looked at the dusty house. "When did he let Aria go?" She looked at the broken vase and all scattered things from the night where she tried to kill her. Infact house was in a bad condition. It was smelling like a rotten rat. "Yesterday... She was in bad condition when she walked out..." Katrina sighed. "But she deserved it..." Aurora didn't want to think about it. She definitely has a soft spot for her sister but she can't forget that she tried to kill her. "Babe!" Katrina looked around. "It really looks like a haunted house now... I wonder how you used to stay here" She
Midst of Darkness! 57. Culprit!
Aurora's POV "Aurora, did you have any childhood friends with whom you lost the contact while growing up?... The friend in the sense, you know what I mean, right?" I looked at Katrina as she asked that question. I know she is asking for childhood love and my stomach twisted in knots. My throat is dry and my head is already throbbing after thinking about everything. "Nothing like that" I mumbled. I got out of the car and looked at the castle. "Aurora, wait!" I ignored her and started walking towards the door. I can't tell her the truth. She is my friend but she has lied multiple times, what if she tells Rafael about it. My stomach started hurting due to anxiety when I thought about Rafael knowing all this. What if he knows about it? I paused when I saw those trainers outside the training rooms. I hope they have let the dogs go. I walked towards the room and directly entered inside. They were smoking in the corner so they didn't notice me. The cages were empty and I si
Midst of Darkness! 58. Making him stay!
Author's POV Aurora was shaking when Rafael placed her on the bed. "Go to sleep, no need to think about whatever happened downstairs" He said calmly and walked away. She didn't even listen to him and she was lost in her own thoughts. She pulled over the bedsheet and rested on the pillow. Her throat was dry, body was shaking and stomach was hurting due to anxiety. She tossed and turned on the bed while thinking about the man who killed people for her. Norman was the long lost friend and she never thought that he would come back like this. She couldn't understand why he was hiding till now. Why he is stalking her. She shuddered at the thought of him hiding in her house and watching her doing things. All those small changes made sense to her. She never really paid attention thinking she might have forgotten after changing their places. She cursed herself for being so dumb and ignorant. She couldn't understand how to stop him. How to deal with him. He is her childhood friend

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.

"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!...

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!
