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 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
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
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
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
"Shh! You will wake her", Sandra said to her husband Charles as they tiptoed to the sitting room to place their daughter, Aurora's gift beneath the Christmas tree."I'm just looking out for you. Hope you aren't feeling tired", he said."Charlie, it's Christmas", she said and placed the wrapped gift beneath the Christmas tree. "I have to be strong even if it's just for today. You know fully well this is the last Christmas I will be spending with you two.""Stop saying that.""We can't hide from the truth, Charlie. I'm dying. This is no joke. It's cancer. I hate to leave you but I have no choice", she said crying.He moved closer to her and hugged her really tight. "It's okay.""Mummy", they heard the voice of their little princess and turned their heads towards the voice."Yes, princess", Sandra replied. "Come."The girl ran towards them with her
June, 2013"Congratulations, little princess", Charles told his daughter as she moved closer to him with her award as best graduating student in her hand."Thanks, daddy", Aurora said and hugged her father."Finally out of high school, huh?""Yeah, Dad. It feels great to be out.""So, do you have any after party to attend or we should go home.""Dad. You know I'm not like that. I prefer hanging out with you.""That's true. Well, since you are going to college by January, you have me to yourself for whole six months.""Yeah!""Should we go to a restaurant and celebrate?""No. Let's go visit Mum", she said.Charles sighed."Please, Dad.""Okay. Let's go.""Thanks, Dad", she said and moved to the car but was stopped by her best friend, Charlotte.
"Someone call the court physician!", Zuerien shouted and on hearing this, Queen Anne turned back and she saw Zuerien standing by King Edward who placed his hand on his chest and groaning in pains. She made her way towards them immediately half running."Edward!” She called and touched him but he hit her hand away."Do not lay your hands on me!""Really? Okay, then", she said and stood up."Mother.""You heard what your father said. I will make sure I don't touch him again. You there!” She said to the guards who were already running towards them. "Take His Majesty to his Chambers and call the court physician.""Okay, Queen."She turned to the King. "The court physician will treat you and I hope you get better", she said and walked out on him yet again that day.King Edward felt hurt that she left even though he was the one that told her not to touch

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
So where do I begin?", Aurora asked with a smile."I'm not going to let you go scot-free with this!", Bianca threatened and pointed a finger at Aurora."That's just an empty threat, dear step mom. You already signed the document, remember? And besides I'm the highest shareholder here, isn't it right, Kevin?""That's right", Kevin said. "She has 40% of the company's share."Bianca gasped. "Kevin! How could you do this to your Mum?""I had to, Mum. It was getting too far.""And the next thing you could think of was stabbing me in the back.""Mum, this isn't stabbing in the back. It's what I have to do."A man stood up from his chair. "Well Miss Penson, I think we need proof.""Of course", she said and gave him the file she has with her.He took the file and adjusted his glasses before going through the file.All Bianca prayed for at that moment was that the file was fake and she still has the company.The man sighed. "This documents are legit. Miss Penson is the legal owner of The Penso
Aurora and Jerry got to the car and Aurora sighed."Everything is finally coming to an end, right?""Yes, pumpkin. Congratulations."She smiled. "Thanks, Uncle. I really appreciate all your help.""It's nothing, dear. It's what I have to do."She nodded. "I hope you continue to help me in the nearest future. I want you to guide me.""Don't fret, pumpkin. I'll be here all the way to help. Just call on me.""Thanks, Uncle.""You're welcome, pumpkin.""So, you need to book a flight. You're going back home on Sunday. You need to attend the meeting on Monday, you know?""Yes, Uncle. I miss home. I can't wait."He smiled and drove off.She was happy that everything was finally coming to an end.¶*¶*¶Aurora entered Zuerien's room and he was lying on his stomach and doing something on his laptop."Hey, babe", she said and moved close him."Hey", he replied without looking up from his laptop.
