Aurora's POVA sigh escaped my lips when I saw my reflection on the vanity mirror facing me, pouting my lips, I ran my fingers underneath my dark eye circle. "You shouldn't do that princess" one of my maids reminded me, making me snort at what they have just said. "Phew" I sneered at what she had just said. "Go on," I cajoled her, pulling my fingers away from my face. My mother had stayed up late with me, tutoring me on what I was supposed to do and what I wasn't supposed to do and so I had slept off late, not like it would make me go back on what I had intended to do. Seated in front of the vanity, I could feel my palms get sweaty when thoughts of the meeting I would be attending soon, hit me. The women were hard to please and I was told that I will have to try twice as hard just so I could get on their good side but what if I don't?I exhaled deeply again for what was like the tenth time to me, running my palm against each other, I tried forcing a smile on my face. "Are you d
Aurora's POV" What exactly do you think you are doing!" I screamed angrily at the man who was silent. " Way to go Aurora, you are going to be late" I rolled my eyes with my hands by my side, trying to be calm because it wouldn't help if I let my anger get hold of me"I have a meeting to attend and now this" I made gestures at what I had on before exhaling, but still, he was silent as though in deep thought. I twirled around, not wanting to care about what had happened because I had somewhere I was supposed to be when a tiny voice beckoned to me;"Princess" I halted in my steps, before turning around, a teeny weeny girl who would be around her teen but had curves in places where they should be, stopped me. "What do you want?" I asked, with my hands crossed. "Let me help," she offered, bringing out a white handkerchief. I took a step back not wanting anyone to touch me, what if whatever that is in there would harm me? I wondered. "I promise not to harm you, why will I do that here
Sebastian POVWith a smile on my face, one that widened as I thought of the answer that I had been given, I sauntered out of the hospital, getting into the car. "Drive" I barked out the order at the driver who was sitting looking speechless. " Alpha but…""Eeshhh" I hissed, loud enough for him to hear and shut up. " When you are given an order, it will do you good if you follow it to the letter'' I reclined against the chair when the key was inserted into the ignition and the car drove away, with fist clenched by my side, I thought of how Laden had acted. Rubbing my thumb on my head gently, a sigh escaped from my lips, I was going to give him days, just days to come back and apologize for insulting me in such a way or be demoted from the position he was currently in. I had all of the power to do that anyway. The sound of a phone ringing snapped me out of my daydream, letting out a sigh, I picked up the phone which must have fallen on the couch. "We have to do all that we can to
Sebastian POV"Wait!" He placed a hand out as though he was trying to stop me from coming closer, and he gritted his teeth, wincing in pain when his back came in contact with the wall and I placed a hand on his neck."How long have you had such weird thoughts toward her?" I spelled it out to him, my gaze darkening at every word that I uttered out of my lips. " Sebastian, please" he pleaded at me, but I tightened my grip on his neck, while waiting for an answer from him. "Fine" I squinted my eyes at him as he uttered the word with so much difficulty and I couldn't think straight anymore when I felt my back against the wall and he stood with a smirk on his lips. I had thought he had taken it as one of our squabbles so what was happening? "Howw.." I asked with so much pain shooting through my body as I tried to glance at him. Just for a moment there, I had him cornered, but now, there he stood, a smile on his face while running his tongue on his lips. Stretching a hand forward, I a
Sebastian POVGiving Karen a dead stare, my hand clenched on the bottle I was holding. "What do you intend to do?" I flicked the bottle to the side, not minding the pieces that scattered all over the place. "My father had given me an assignment'' he gazed at me for a minute before letting out a sigh, one that showed how conflicted he was. "And it involves killing someone which you know I haven't done before, so I am a little bit confused on how exactly I am going to do it, I do not want to be seen as a weakling by my father, Sebastian" he bared out his heart to me." If you do not want to do it, then don't but you should know that your father has a reason for asking you to do that, so tell me Karen"I placed a hand underneath my chin. " Why are you not taking a stance?" I hated whatever he was doing, he was a man. "You ought to do so and stop confusing me, we both know that in order to get some things done, we ought to do whatever it is just to survive, and…" " Where is the Seba
Sebastian POVWith a hand placed on my cheek, I glared at my mother who was fuming in anger, her veins bulged out and I could tell that she was trying to hold herself. "What exactly did you tell Laden, oh you foolish child?" She asked, her hands moved to her forehead caressing it gently before slumping on the couch.I watched her kick her slippers to the side, lacing both of her hands together while waiting for me to answer. "What exactly is happening?" I needed them to know that I wasn't that little child anymore which they could whip at any time. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to stare at her before asking, "How could you lay your hands on me?" "Sebastian…. you" I raise a hand to halt her, not wanting to hear what she intended to say next. "And for Laden, mother, aren't you supposed to have a little trust in your son?" I inquired, gazing straight at her. I was helpless against her, this was my mother here, and she was one of the reasons why I was born into this earth and I c
Aurora's POV"You cannot be serious, Mother" I ran a hand through my messy hair, walking toward my room. I couldn't believe what it was that I was hearing, how was I going to do that? "You promised" I reminded her"I know Aurora but you need to go outing, it is just a date and nothing else" she answered, causing me to let out a sigh, before slumping onto my bed. "Aurora" she called out gently, sitting beside me. "I knew I had promised not to interfere with your love life, but baby girl" her hands patted my chin, caressing it gently. "You need someone to show you around, Arizona is filled with beautiful things which I am sure you will love to see and Jackson is the best person to do that" " Ramon is there to do that, Mother" I reminded her." The same person you have been avoiding for a while now?" I gulped in my spittle as what she had just said hit me. Or wasn't he the one avoiding me instead? I haven't seen him for a while since he kissed me. A finger strayed to my lips which I
Aurora's POVSauntering toward the car door which Jackson had flung open with his hand firmly holding the handle. I let out a breath of air, taking a glance around my surrounding I couldn't fix my hand in it but something seemed to be pulling me toward a particular direction."Ramon" Although I was tempted to chase after him, I decided against it. I didn't want news going around talking about how I was screwing my instructor."Touche" Jackson uttered, his gaze fixed on mine. "Those beautiful eyes of yours shouldn't be straying when there is a whole meal in front of you" He winked at me, causing me to roll my eyes at him. I was glad I wasn't eating yet because I was sure as hell that I was going to choke on my food. "Language Jackson" I placed a foot into the car before sitting on it. Its interior was exquisite and I couldn't stop myself from complimenting how beautiful it looked."It is beautiful" My hands patted the headboard gently, immersed in how soft it looked. " The latest
