"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 slumped down from the couch and sighed heavily. "Oh Goodness!"Charlotte came in holding a glass of wine. "Oh you're home.""Yeah", she said and grabbed the glass from Charlotte's hand. "Give me that.""What? That's not for you."Aurora already gulped down the drink and placed the cup back in Charlotte's hand. "So bad. I drank it already. I was thirsty."Charlotte rolled her eyes and ripped the cup. "So, how was the meeting?", She asked and began massaging Aurora's legs."It went well. He agreed. I just have 2 more people to meet with.""Then you have your company back?""Then I have my company back. And Uncle already spoke with King Edward."As Charlotte heard King Edward, her heartbeat sped up. "Really" she forced out."Yes. But he said be wouldn't be able to meet with me."Charlotte felt r
"Aurora, wake up", Charlotte said as she shook Aurora gently."Hm?", Aurora said but didn't get up."Get up, Aurora. You don't want to be late to the meeting, do you?""Okay. Just 5 minutes.""No. Get up now", Charlotte said and begin pulling her. "Up.""Okay. Okay. I'm up", Aurora said and got up from the bed. She slapped Charlotte's hand and ran to the bathroom."Don't think you'll get away. I'll get my revenge!", Charlotte said."Stop being dramatic. I didn't hit you that much.""I don't care. I'm going to get my revenge.""Whatever", Aurora said."Be fast. Breakfast is ready.""Okay."Charlotte went out of the room and her phone rang. "Hey, Marc.""Good morning, baby", Marco greeted back. "How was the night?""It was splendid."
It's been 4 days since the encounter she had with Zuerien and she hasn't talked to him since then. She doesn't know what else to think. She thinks he doesn't want to tell her because he doesn't trust her but her inner woman told her that isn't the case. She thought of all other possibilities too but none was making sense to her.She got out of the shower and dressed up and took her phone before walking downstairs. Megan was serving breakfast and Charlotte was helping out when she got to the kitchen."Good morning", she greeted with her dull voice."Holy shit! You are as white as sheet!", Charlotte exclaimed."What's wrong with you?", Megan asked."Nothing. I'm fine.""You're obviously not fine.""Stop being dramatic, Char. I'm just tired", she said and picked up a slice of bread and spread jam on it."You need to rest a lot. I don't want you getting
