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
Midst of Darkness! 59. Complaints!
Aurora's POV I blinked my eyes open when something heavily landed on my belly. "Shadow!" I groaned and picked her up. Why is she so rough with me. She meowed and started licking my face. Cute thing! I kissed her head and cuddled her. She is in a playful mood today. Then she jumped out of the bed and walked towards the cabinet where we kept her food. She scratched on it to open it. Ohh, so your highness was hungry and woke up this peasant to feed her. So smart! Why don't she wake up her favourite human now. I gave her a mean look and she meowed loudly. "Yeah, coming" I huffed. I sat up while removing Rafael's arm from my body and got out of bed. As soon as I got up my head felt dizzy and a strong ache travelled in my calves. I was about to fall back on the bed due weakness but strong arms caught me. I grabbed on those arms and looked at the sleepy, messy but handsome face. "You should check your health before you stand. Have you forgotten that you were sick last night?
Midst of Darkness! 60. Anger lessons!
Author's POV Aurora walked downstairs and paused at the main door. She couldn't gather the courage to go out and meet the man. She gulped, took a deep breath and stepped out. She went towards the training room and looked around but she couldn't find anyone. "Where is he?" She frowned frustrated that she should have come faster. She looked around and started walking towards the gate from where she saw him escaping last night. She huffed when she couldn't see him anywhere. She was about to turn around but then she saw Mira doing something with the car. She looked at her confused. Mira smirked looking at the car and got, she froze in her place when she saw Aurora standing there. Aurora looked at her blankly not able to smile at her. "Hi, what are you doing here?" She asked. Mira smiled nervously. "Nothing, I was just checking on my car." "You have a car, wow!" Aurora replied. "Last time I drove, I killed a man... So I don't drive anymore" Mira raised her eyebro

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.

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.

"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

"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.
