Jerry walked out of the office to his car and thought about what Bianca said. He wants to save his daughter from her hands but he needs to protect Aurora too. They are both his daughters and besides Charlotte won't be happy if he did anything stupid. He remembered what Bianca told him.
"You just have to bring Aurora to me. You aren't doing anything much. All you have to do is tell her to meet you at a certain location I will give you later. Make sure she doesn't suspect a thing. If you tell her what the real plan is, I will kill your daughter first and kill you too. You just have to lure her to the location and my guards will take care of the rest. Don't try to act smart. So, make the right choice. Your daughter or Aurora."
He shook his head. He doesn't know what to do. He can't afford to choose Charlotte over Aurora and vice versa. He looked at his phone and wanted to call Aurora to tell her immediately but what if Bianca put a tracker on his phone
Jerry walked into Bianca's office and she looked up from the file she was reading."What do you want?", She asked."Can I please see my daughter? It's been 2 days. I need to make sure she is okay."Bianca smiled and dropped the file. "Why don't you wait till I'm able to catch Aurora?"He knelt down immediately and held her leg. "Please. I beg you. Let me see her. Even if it's just for a few minutes."She stood up and the hold he has on her leg released. "Okay. I will let you see her because I'm a really nice person", she said and sat down.He stood up and bowed slightly."When will I be able to see her?""Bring Aurora to me first", she said and picked up the file again.He clenched his fist. He really thought she was going to allow him see his daughter but he was wrong. She is a really crazy bitch.He walked o
Aurora and the others were listening to the conversation because George has the bug in his ear and it was already activated."Did I do well?", He asked."Yes", Aurora said."Woah. You are an actor", Jazz shouted."Will you just stop shouting? You're gonna blow my ear drum", George said."Whatever", Jazz said."Now, the next thing is to go make sure your daughter is okay", Zuerien said."Okay. I'll check on her first and drug the food.""Okay, be fast", Aurora said.¶*¶*¶Goerge walked to the head maid's room and knocked. She opened some minutes later and was surprised to see him there."George, I thought you were dead.""I'm obviously not. I was just injured. Can I please see my daughter?"She nodded and went to pick up the key. She came back and walked. "Follow me."
"I do not get anything, Aurora. Get out now!"She didn't listen to him and walked towards the painting. She was about to touch the painting when the door bursted open and guards filled in with guns in their hands."Oh shit!"She looked around and she was already surrounded."Aurora? What is it?", Zuerien asked.She gulped and looked at all the guards each."Answer me, Aurora. Are you there?""I've been caught", she said in a low voice."Shit!", Jazz shouted.A guard moved closer to her and she held him by the hand before kicking him between his legs. Another one came and she beat him to a pulp.She fought and the bug fell from her ear so she has no idea what the guys where saying in the van.She held another guard by the wrist and punched him in the stomach. He fell to the ground a
Charlotte woke up and Aurora was sitting beside her and asleep. She ran her hands through Aurora's hair and she woke up."Charlotte!", Aurora said with excitement and hugged Charlotte.Charlotte grunted and she pulled away."Sorry. I was just so happy to see you.""Me too. Thanks for coming for me."Aurora hugged her again but not too tight this time. "I'm happy you are safe."Charlotte smiled as they hugged. "Ah! I missed you.""Me too", Aurora said as happy tears slipped from her eyes. She was happy Charlotte was here and in her arms. "I really missed you. I was scared, Charlotte. I was scared I wouldn't see you again."Charlotte stroked her back. "It's okay. Shhh. Stop crying now."Aurora smiled and pulled away."What of everyone?"Aurora looked down feeling sad."Wha
Aurora opened the journal and a picture fell from it. "What is this?" She picked the picture up and it was her mum's. She smiled and dropped the picture. She checked the page the picture fell from and read.'My dear Aurora Madeline Penson, you really are my daughter. I know as you read this, I would have been long dead. I want you to know that I love you. All my life, I spent it on loving you. I want you to know that even if I'm no longer there physically, I will always watch over you.Aurora, Dad kept a secret from you and I feel really bad about it. I hope you forgive me after reading this.A long time ago, I had a friend and we agreed to do business together. I asked Jerry about it and he told me to go ahead. At that time, Penson's group of companies was not as big as this. You weren't born that time. I was told that the deal will make my company grow and so I agreed.We did the deal and made a
"Now are you ready to go ahead with the plan.""I'm ready."He smiled and leaned back in his chair. "That's good. You need to get the company back. You need to get back what's yours.""What do I have to do?""We need to buy shares.""Okay. I don't even know how many percentage of the company's share is in my name.""Twenty percent.""What? That much?""Yeah. You have no idea about it because Charles was always in charge of it. His was 40 percent but Bianca already has it.""How?""I think she got a way to make him sign it to her name.""So, what do we do?", Charlotte asked."I already talked to people and they are willing to sell part of their shares to you. They are also tired of being under Bianca's rule. Since she is the highest shareholder, she controls the company. And I also h
"Kevin?", She called and indeed he was the one leaning on the car.He moved closer to her but she moved back."What are you doing here?"He cocked an eyebrow. "Why do I feel like you we are not on good terms? Why don't we sit and talk. Please."She sighed and turned to Jerry. "You can go, Uncle. I'll find my way.""Are you sure?", He asked."Yes. Thanks a lot for today.""Okay. I'll call you regarding the next person to meet.""Okay. Bye", she said and he went. "Let's go in", she said to Kevin and they walked back to the restaurant.They sat down and he ordered but she didn't order anything. "Why aren't you ordering something?""Nothing", she said."Okay", he said and ordered his food before the waiter left."How did you find me?", She we t straight to the point.
"Zuerien?""Yes.""Or should I call you Your Royal Highness?"He looked at her in shock and gulped. "What are you talking about?"She smiled. "I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, Crown Prince Zuerien."He sighed and leaned back. "How did you know?"She smiled. "Do you remember the first day we met and I told you you look familiar?""Yes. But I don't think I've ever seen you somewhere before.""Yeah. You haven't", she said. "You know, when I was in high school, I saw a picture of The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Valtoria giving a speech at the annual Christmas ball and since then I was crushing on him. I always follow new updates about you. Crazy, right."He chuckled."But the funniest thing is that anytime I try to talk to Aurora about the Crown Prince or show her a pic, something was always coming up. So, s
Aurora got out of the car and walked into the law firm. She needed to speak to Kevin as soon as possible. He had to tell her where his mother was because she wouldn’t spare her. She approached the reception desk and leaned in slightly. “Good morning.” “Good morning, ma’am,” the receptionist replied. “How can I help you?” “Is Kevin in his office?” “No, ma’am. He hasn’t been in since last week.” Aurora frowned. “Why? What happened to him?” “I’m afraid I can’t disclose that information.” “Please,” Aurora pleaded. “I’m a friend.” The receptionist sighed and leaned in closer. “We were told his mom passed away.” Aurora’s eyes widened in shock. “What?!” --- Aurora sat in the conference room, listening as the team managers presented their reports and ideas. She studied the man who had just finished his proposal. “So, you think your idea will work?” “Yes, ma’am, I do.” She leaned forward, resting her hands on the table. “Have you considered the workers?” “It’s their job, ma’am. T
Aurora woke up to the feeling of Zuerien’s arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled as she turned to look at him. He was still fast asleep, his features soft and peaceful. He looked beautiful. She reached out and gently ran her fingers over his face, tracing his jawline. He stirred in his sleep, then slowly opened his eyes. "Good morning," he murmured with a lazy smile. "Good morning," she replied. "Did you sleep well?" "No," he groaned. "Why did you wake me up so early?" "Have you forgotten we have a flight to catch?" "Oh!" His eyes widened briefly before he shut them again. "I forgot… but can I sleep for just five more minutes?" "No," she said firmly. "Please?" he pleaded, his voice drowsy. Aurora sighed. "Fine. I'll go use the bathroom. Use that time to sleep, but once I'm out, you're going in. Agreed?" "Accepted," he muttered, already drifting back to sleep. She chuckled, shaking her head as she slipped out of bed. Stretching her arms, she walked toward the
Aurora called Kevin for what felt like the hundredth time that day but he was not picking. She doesn't care if Bianca doesn't return the money, she just wants to know if she took it, that's all. She sighed and dropped her phone. That doesn't matter anymore since he is not picking her calls. Everything at work was going smoothly and she was happy she has workers that are cooperative. Everyone was working hard to make the company the best just like it has always been when her Dad was still alive. She still had a lot to do but everything was beginning to reduce and she felt happiness wash through her veins. She smiled at that and drank her coffee. She called Chloe in and the latter came in few minutes later. "Sit down", she said. "I need a favor." "Oh. What is it?" "Well, do you know the best hospital around here?" "Why do you ask?" "The thing is... there's a little girl I know that had an accident once and because of that she can't walk. So, I want her to be able to wal
Charlotte walked into the house with bags with her. She saw Marco and Alexis sitting on the floor and playing a game. "Close your eyes, Lex. Stop cheating", Marco said."I'm not!", The girl said as she placed her hands over her eyes. "Just hide it."Marco smiled and picked up a small pebble from the floor and hid it in his right hand then wrapped his hand in a fist. "Now open", he said.She removed her hands and raised her chin. "Hmm. I think it's in the right hand.""Are you sure?"She nodded. "Yes I am."He groaned and opened his hand. "How come you are always know where it is hidden. Are you cheating?"She laughed and shook her head. "I'm not cheating. I'm just guessing right. Again.""You guys are just so engrossed in your game that your didn't even notice I'm home", Charlotte said and they looked at her."Charlotte!", The girl shouted with excitement."Hey baby", Charlotte said and moved closer to her to peck her cheeks. "How are you?""I'm fine", she said. "Hey babe", Marco sa
Zuerien pulled her closer against him to silence her.She stopped talking and struggling and hugged him back. The hug seemed to work magically as she calmed down against him. Kevin only sat where he was still holding his neck and trying to breathe normally. She really held him tight by the neck and he thought she was going to kill him. She actually was going to kill him if not for this man that entered just in time. Never as he seen her get angry like that since he has known her. "It's okay", he whispered sweetly. "You don't want to do that."She sighed and nodded. She then looked at Kevin's direction and felt bad for him. She blames him and she still doesn't blame him. She blames him because he didn't keep to his own end of the deal that Bianca won't hurt anyone. She also doesn't blame him because Bianca is a very dangerous woman who does things without being questioned. She moved closer to him. "Why did you let her do that?", She asked calmly this time. Zuerien just stood there
Aurora stretched her neck again and dropped the pen. It was already late and she was still working. She checked her wristwatch and it was already 8pm. She didn't intend to work this late. Chloe already went home some hours ago and she has been working non-stop. Her stomach grumbled. "Ah! I'm hungry", she said. "I got you covered, babe", she heard Zuerien say. She looked up from her laptop and indeed he was standing by the door. "Hey, babe." "Hey. Come in. Sit down." He moved closer to her and dropped a bag on her desk. "Eat that first and we'll go for dinner." "What's that?", She said and opened the band. In there was a huge sandwich. "This looks delicious." "Yeah. When I was coming back from where I went, I decided to buy that. Did you even eat at all today?" "Nah. All I have been eating was chocolate", she said and bit into the sandwich. She moaned in delight. "Ahh! This is delicious." He smiled at her. "Are you done with work?" "Sure. I was about packing and going home. A
George smiled as he looked through the document. He was happy that he was finally able to get his dream house. Since he married Alexis's mother, they both planned to get the house. Even before Alexis was born. But she died during child birth and that still leaves a hole in his heart. Alexis was the only thing he has in the world and he vowed to forever make her happy at the expense of his own happiness. He would do anything for Alexis even if it meant giving up his life. When Alexis got into the accident that affected her leg, he was down. He cried for days because she requires a surgery to be able to get back on her feet but he has no money for that. And that's why up till now, he does every work than he can do just to save money for her surgery and she would be able to walk perfectly again. He smiled again as he walked to his safe. He doesn't keep his money in the back because he doesn't trust the bank. His money was in the safe. He put in the code and the safe opened. He looked i
Aurora smiled and went back to her office after the meeting she had with the workers. She felt happy and relieved after the meeting. She has no idea where Zuerien went after the meeting. She was exchanging words and greetings with the workers and wanted to introduce him when she suddenly couldn't find him anywhere. She sighed and sat down. Her neck was hurting a lot and she stretched it before picking up her phone to call him. He didn't pick up and she tried again but it was the same. "Come in", she said as she heard a knock on the door. Chloe entered carrying some files with her. "How's it going, ma'am?" She stretched her neck again. "What can I say? I have to get used to it, don't I?" "You sure do. Here", she said and placed the file on her desk. "What's this? It's from the Account Director. He said he wants them signed." "Okay, thanks. I'll go through it." "Okay, ma'am. Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, maybe?" Aurora smiled and nodded. "Coffee will be great. Thank
Charlotte placed the plate of sandwich on the table and Alexis was about to deep her hand in it but Charlotte stopped her."Have you brushed your teeth this morning?"Alexis shook her head."Then there's no sandwich for you. Let's brush your teeth first.""But I'm hungry", Alexis whined."I know. I'll just brush your teeth and you'll eat. Deal?"The little girl pouted and crossed her hands around her chest."You know that face won't work on me. Let's just go and brush your teeth", she said and carried her. "Is it me or you've suddenly gained weight?"The little girl giggled. "That's because you feed me well.""That's true", she said and they went to the bathroom.Alexis was brushing her teeth when Charlotte's phone rang and she went to the bedroom to pick it up. It was George."Hey, George.""Hey, Charlotte. How are you?""I'm fine. You?""I'm good. How's Alexis doing?""She is perfectly okay. Would you like to speak with her?""Yes.""Okay. Hang on", she said and walked to the bathro
