AURORAI got out of the car and walked to the door knocking and waiting for a response, I smiled to myself as joy gushed through my veins. I was more than happy to be here, I missed my family so much and feel guilty I haven't seen them in a long time. The door slowly opened and a head with gray hair poked out."Aurora?" My mom's eyes widened in surprise as she opened the door fully, letting herself out and engulfing me in a warm hug."I miss you very much." I cried hugging her back."Come in already." She said as she led me in, it was just the same way I had left it. I asked Mr. Smith to bring in the groceries as I got along with my mom. We talked for hours about everything and I was more than happy I had dropped by to visit. I left as soon as. As it was getting dark as o didn't want Mr. King to be worried about me staying out late. I walked into the house and met Mr. King pacing back and forth worriedly, he stopped immediately we licked eyes, and walked towards me in fuming anger."W
AURORAI slowly rolled on the bed tired as my body ached in pain. The deeds of last night were quite evident on my body, it was close to impossible to get up but I mustered the strength to get up from the bed. I looked around the room but Mr. King was nowhere to be found, I noticed I was still naked and sticky down there which was irritating, I wrapped the sheets around me, taking my sprawled clothes on the floor, and made my way out Io my room, ensuring he didn't see me running like a whore. I took a shower and got ready for work as I still needed my job.I walked downstairs and was about to go out when I saw Mr. King waiting for me outside, I tried to hide the embarrassment I felt as I recalled myself screaming and moaning last night."Good morning sir." I greeted them once I was inside the car sitting beside him."Morning, did you sleep well?" He asked and I nodded so as not to blurt nonsense as my brain was not coordinating right now.U saw him smile at the corner of my eyes and I
AURORAAs I walked back to the office, I received a message on my phone and quickly opened it without a second thought, it was from an unknown number which puzzled me, I decided to open the message immediately I gave Mr. King his coffee but I kept wondering what the message entailed, I entered the office and noticed Mr. King on a call with someone in his phone, I placed his coffee on his desk and walked over to mine, taking a sip of mine I quickly swiped up my phone and clicked on the instead message.I clicked on the photo almost immediately but as soon as I saw it, I won't the coffee out of my mouth I almost choked on it. Mr. King gave me a 'are you alright look' and I nodded, there was no way I could tell him what I just saw. How could this happen?I looked down at my phone and I felt like I got punched in the gut, I tried hard bit to believe it was me laying on the bed with another man…. Intimately.I don't even know who the man was neither have I ever met him so why are we?.... I
Mr. King could tell something was odd about Aurora’s behavior even after telling him she was fine and nothing was wrong, he thought she was having a hard time dealing with the relationship scandal, not in his wildest dream would he have thought she was being blackmailed, instead of putting pressure on her to talk he decided to wait it out till she feels comfortable enough to tell him about it.Aurora could not bring herself to explain the nude picture, they are not in a relationship presently but no doubt her feelings for him is real. Things are about to get out of hand as the blackmailer keeps sending in more pictures with life-threatening messages. “How on earth do I want to explain these pictures?” Aurora thought to herself.King is extremely worried about Aurora as he kept calling her name from behind but with no response which led to him tapping her on her shoulders. “Oh Goodness” Aurora jumped from where she was with a sweaty palm.The reaction she made convinced Mr. King th
The meeting was held with some of the few staff that still trust Mr. King and are willing to stand by him. The meeting was held to weigh the damage the scandal has caused and to see how to manage the resources they have and make do with it.Most of the shareholders are on Max’s side and they are so bent on making Mr. King give up his post as president of the company. Mr. King gathered his staff and assigned them a task each. “Thank you so many guys for believing in me and it’s my turn to believe in you guys but I can’t do this without your help so please focus on each task given to you if you will be needing any finance to support feel free to do so under the company’s name. Also please whatever was discussed stay in this room and be sure to be discreet while carrying out the task given to you, that will be all, Have a nice day” Mr. King closed the meeting and he felt a little relieved from all the burden he carried.On getting back to his office he met Max sitting on his chair fee
Aurora could not bring herself to bring more burden on Mr. King so she decided on the pain she was going through. Blackmail can harm a person, mentally, physically, and emotionally and Aurora was going through all these pains all alone though it was too much of a burden she felt it was nothing compared to what Mr. King was going through.The company he worked so hard to build was crumbling before his eyes and his opponent has always been one step ahead of him due to the listening device he inserted in his house so of course, she could not bring herself to mention the Blackmail. “Georgia, my lawyer friend, I spoke to her about what was going on, figured Mark might need an extra hand doing all the stuff and she asked if we ever thought of being bugged and I figured it might be true and decided to call you and let you in on it.” Aurora gave a nervous glance at both Mr. King and Mark and the titter.Mr. King could tell there was more to the story but she does not want to share.

“Who will want to help Max, and besides everyone knows how obsessed he is over Aurora why will he threaten her and try to ruin her future?” Mr. King asks looking very confused. “Except his accomplice is the one blackmailing Aurora?” Mark assumed looking at the board Georgia drew to explain her research. “Take a look at this scenario” he continued “Max is obsessed with Aurora not mad at her, he wants her back and to do that he needs to get rid of Mr. King and his company that is why he went for the shares as a ransom for the release of Aurora and return her safely but suddenly the s scandal of Aurora and Mr. king relationship came to light and then blackmailing the sync is not there, it’s so obvious that it’s more than one person.” Mark rounded up his thoughts to the rest of the team. “Except Max is a psychopath and will do anything to get what he wants even at the expense of someone else’s life.” Aurora chipped in.Her relationship with Max was toxic, she knows him be
Our happily ever after Preparation has began for the wedding ceremony, finally after two years of war and near-death experience they are finally getting married. “I am so happy for you my dear, you are getting married!” Aurora’s mum said excitedly has she hugged her daughter. “I remember the day I was getting married___” “For the hundredth time mum, You’ve said that story like a thousand time now but can just stay my side and comfort me and tell em I am going to be ok and that you love me and that you are proud of me and that____” Aurora could not stop talking and her mum gave her a tight hug. “I am so proud of you, you are going to be okay, King loves you and you are in good hands, go get married my dear, married live is sweet” Her mum said and gave her a peck. “Aunt, The twins won't stop crying” Lilith rushed into Aurora’s room. “Oh, I will take it from there” Aurora’s mum said and rushed out of the room to go check on the twins. “Look at you in white!” Lilith teased and sat
“Woah, I think my account is empty. I can't afford to check how much I have left” Jerry joked as he saw the debit notification dropping on his phone.They all burst into laughter from his joke but soon they all received the same debit and soon they were making a joke of themselves.“I am glad I am not the only one experiencing this debit,” Jerry said, still laughing.“I am glad you decided to ask Georgia to marry you, both of you deserve to be together given what you’ve been through together,” Mr. King said and patted Mark on his shoulder.“I know, I hope she feels the same way” Mark said looking down, he dropped the petals on his hands on the floor and walked slowly to take a seat.Mr. King and Jerry walked toward him and sat next to him in their garden.“After what happened that night, when I was in a coma at the hospital I heard Georgia cry and blame herself for what happened to me that night, every night at the hospital she would cry and pray that I would wake up, do you know she
“Lilith, you have to get ready today for his burial ceremony, I get that you are sad about it, the little time you spent together meant a lot to you but you still have to attend” Jerry comforted Lilith.“I can't believe he is gone, I don't want to believe it” Lilith said in denial.Jerry looked at her and smiled, he pulled her into his arms and rocked.“What about Aurora?” Lilith asked with a worried look on her face.He sighed and nodded his head.“She is with Georgia upstairs,” Jerry replied.“I should go check on her, I am sure she is more hurt than I am” Lilith said and made her way out of the room to check on Aurora.“I’ll come with you” Jerry offered and followed Lilith to Aurora’s room.“Ok” she replied._________“Hey guys!” Lilith said as she opened the door after knocking.She saw Arora sitting in front of her dressing table with a black flowing dress on.Aurora turned around and saw Lilith walk into the room also dressed in black.“You’re here,” Aurora said barely.“Yea, of
“Hey!Hey! Look at me don't do this please I am begging you please!” Tears flowed out of Aurora’s eyes as she saw Mr. King was covered in blood with two bullets one on his right arm and the other in his stomach without an exit point which means the bullet is still stuck inside him, which is bound to cause a lot of internal bleeding.I__I__Lo_ve __you Aurora” Mr. King stuttered as blood kept rushing out of his mouth.A sharp pain from Aurora's head, it was like her head was going to split in two.“Hey!“Hey!“So you brought my mum, dad and Charles?”“Of course u know you miss them”“So can I call you sweet names when we are together?”“Will you marry me King?”“Will you marry me Aurora?”“I love you forever Aurora”“I love you forever King”“No! My love no please don't leave me, I remember___ I remember everything, so please fight my love fight please, I missed you so much” Aurora bawled out still holding on to Mr. King’s hands.Mr. King smiled and tried to place his hands on Aurora’s f
“Don is out of the picture, now let's get down to business shall we?” Max said as he used the gun with him to itch the back of his head.“There is only one way out, Take Aurora and leave and I will help King get to safety,” Olive suggested to Max.They both turned toward Aurora and Mr. King “Make your choice!” they both said in unison.Mr King pulled back Aurora to himself “in your wildest dreams” He said as he held Aurora firmly.“Do you think she will let us go in peace, just take a look at her, can you see the way she is staring at you? She will never let us go alive and you know it!” Aurora blurted out.Max turned to Olive “Do you think I am not aware about that?” Max said with a mysterious smile on his face.Olive gave him a weird look “Well as long as you don't lay a finger on King we're good” Olive said admitting that she did have the thought of killing the both of them.Max turned to her “And so you are saying, if we leave you will let us go without laying a finger on Aurora e
“BREAKING NEWS!”‘The President of JETTING HOLDINGS was said to be kidnapped by Don Gonzales with his accomplices Max Washington and Olive BakerThey were said to be located outside the city and also there has been an accident blocking entrances out of the city, making it difficult for the police or anyone to do anything at the moment.Police officers around the town where Don was said to have placed his hostages have been alerted and are all doing ground checks to find Mr. King, Miss Aurora, Attorney Mark and Georgia, Lilith Washington, and Jerry Smoke.The location was given but the spot was not mentioned in the tip we received from Mr. King before he went out of contact.So if you are out there out of the city in the following location that is displayed on this screen please help us out, helicopters have been dispatched as well.“Hang in there Mr. King we are coming to your rescue” The reporters ended the information.And just as she said in her report on the news, helicopters were
Aurora ran over to Georgia.“Are you alright?” Aurora asked as she searched her but there was no gunshot, not even a scratch on her body.“I’m fine, I'm ok!” Georgia said as she could not also believe that Don did shoot her.They all look at Don with confusion written all over their faces.“What are you doing?” Aurora asked as she was using her body to block Don from firing again if he was going to.Don just stood there like he was lost as well, he had a look of disbelief on his face.“Well, I guess, you are a chicken as well then,” Olive said as she used the gun on her hands to itch the back of her ear.“Nah, I don't miss, I have never missed,” Don said with a smile on his face and he slowly walked back to his corner.Lilith and Aurora looked around Georgia again but there were no bullet holes or whatsoever.“What game are you playing?” Georgia yelled.“Just get this over with Don!” Georgia yelled again.“Ok let me give you a hint, I did fire but where did I fire at or by any chance,
While the argument was going on, Don saw how Olive continued to struggle to set herself free but the rope tied to her chair where so sight she could not set loose no matter how hard she struggles.Don took the opportunity and walked up to Olive, he pulled her away to a separate corner, without anyone noticing due to the chaos between Max, Aurora, Lilith, Georgia and Mark.“Who would you kill if I gave you the gun instead?” Don asked“Aurora and Max, they are the biggest pest of my life,” Olive said without flinching.“But you know I will kill you after you kill them right?” Don said smiling with his tobacco in his hands.“Well, why don't we strike a deal, I will be you get off the country and help you start your business again in any country you want, I can help you get back everything you’ve lost and when things die down, I will bring you back to the country and by them there will be nothing left for them to do to you, I just need you to help me achieve my goals right now and I will
Max looked around, as he placed his hands on the trigger, he felt chills all over his body.“Why are you resisting?” Don asked as he placed his hands around Max’s neck.“Are you having doubts now that the gun is in your hands?” Don asked as he looked at Mr. King.“I don't have anything against you Mr. King, I just want him to accomplish something before he breathes his last breath and this is the least I can do for him,” Don said and have Mr. King a wink.Max stood looking at Mr King but he could not bring himself to point the gun at him or even fire it.“Oh Come on, Max, are you telling me there is absolutely no one here you would like to kill?” Don said.He took away the gun from him and walked toward Mark “This guy here, do you know how many lawsuits he filed against you, and how many times he help Aurora escape your grip, if it doesn't upset you enough fine, we can forgive him,” He pushed Mark away from the way and went toward Lilith.“What about your little sister, well you never
