JACOBI can’t believe Aurora went on a date with Daniel. A man who will do anything to get her to sleep with him. Doesn’t she know who he really is?He is a psychopath and only does things that suit himself. Why didn’t she go on a date with anyone, why does it have to be Daniel.“Are you listening, Jacob,” Mia, the lady who I came into the restaurant with said to me.“What are you talking about?” I asked her. She shook her head and grabbed her back, standing up.“I’m sorry,” I said to her. “I’m just distracted,” I looked outside as Daniel led Aurora to her car.“You are distracted because your ex-wife was here,” she turned around to look outside with me. “Well, she is on her way out,” she said with a mocking tone.“Do you have what I asked you for?” I asked rudely.She scoffed and handed me a file. I looked through it, flipping it in anger, “don’t tell me this is everything the police department has on the accident?” I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders, I knew exactly what that me
AURORAI walked into the hotel lobby and was mesmerized by the sight in front of me. There were a lot of marbles and artworks to give it a calming and comfortable presence.“Good day ma’am, how can I help you?” I heard a voice behind me and I turned.“Hi,” I handed her the ID card that was given to me in a gift box after I registered for the retreat.“Oh, you are here for the retreat?” she asked and nodded. I’m still a bit out of it. Daniel might have convinced me but I can't shake the feeling of seeing Jacob in that restaurant with another woman. Not just another woman, but a friend of Katherine. He really isn;t going to change. Hopefully this retreat will clear my head and make me move forward.“Ma’am, are you alright,” I heard the Receptionist's voice from a distance. Damn, how long has she been talking to me.“Yes, I booked a suite, Aurora Clinton,” I gave her a smile trying to cover up my previous act.“I’m sorry ma’am but there isn’t a suite for an Aurora Clinton,” she stated an
JACOB“I should be asking you that question, since you are in my room,” I said to her and she folded her arms, taking her eyes off me.“This can't be your room,” she said, looking around. “My name is attached to this room number. So I'm guessing you are the one with the mistake.”I walked over to the pool table and handed her my booking slip, “Have one of these?” I asked her.She took the slip from me forcefully and I sighed, “your name is also attached to this room number,” she said, flaring up.“Where are you going?” I asked her but she didn't give me a response as she banged the door of the room hard.I quickly put on a shirt and pants and ran after her. The elevator door was about to close but I got in before it could. She clicked her tongue and hissed.“What?!” I asked her, “can't stand to be alone with me in an elevator?” I asked her, remembering the last time we were in an elevator together after her office building was invaded. My mind flashed back to the trance I had of her
JACOB“What do you mean by that?” I asked the man in front of me, even though I was pretty clear about what I just heard him say.“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you more than that,” he said, walking away. I walked behind me and took him by the collar of his shirt.“Where the hell do you think you are going to?” I asked him, shoving him against the wall.“I can’t be seen with you,” he whispered. “If the people that hired me find out I’m talking to you they will have me killed,” he said and I scoffed.“Oh really, just like the way you killed my Mother,” I kept on shoving him to the wall. “You think I cared about your life when you clearly didn’t care about my mothers,” I said to him and he groaned, trying to break free from my grip.“I was following orders. That was who I was years ago, not who I am now,” he said trying to release my hands but my grip only grew tighter.“My mother didn’t have the chance to change her life,” I said and watched him bat his eyelashes nervously, “Did she?”“I saw
AURORAThe sound of glass breaking made me flinch from my seat. I have never seen him act this way. And this situation is pretty serious.“I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to see,” I said to him.“Oh, I'm seeing exactly what I am supposed to see. My birth is being charming with her killer!” He yelled.“Maybe she caught up to him, and both of them were making plans for her to leave the country,” I said to him but the look on his face meant she was buying what I was saying.“Okay, anyhow you see it. That's exactly how it should be,” I said to him, sighing. He looks so defeated and angry.We still haven't talked about what we are going to do in this situation. Both of us are in the same room and I don't want to think about what Daniel will say about any of this.“How did you find me?” He turned and asked me. Giving a look I suddenly don't like.“Uhm, when you called earlier on. I decided to give hotel hunting a try,” he gave me a puzzled look. I don't even know why I'm responding
JACOB“I remember, Aurora. I remember when we first made love,” I said to her. She didn't turn around but I could see how that affected her.Damnit! How could I say that to her even though I do remember now. After I confronted Christina I started to have memories of that night. Damn she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, she glowed that night. The way she moved on top of me. Her moans sounded the tone of my favorite song. The way she breathed heavily when she got tired and I took over.I could feel myself getting hard just by the thoughts of her but that's not the only reason why I need her. I want to be by her side. I want to protect her, make her feel loved. If these people really killed my birth Mom all because she was a CEO, Aurora will need my protection far more than ever.I raised my head up immediately at the sound of a knock on the door. I rushed to my bag and brought out a Glock. This isn't the Mafia but it sure looks like it.“Who's there?” I used my deepest vo
AURORAI opened my eyes but quickly shut it because of how heavy and dizzy I felt. I feel like my whole body is on fire and I can't seem to move from my position.“Get off me!” My head screamed at me, but my voice wasn't loud enough. Someone was pinning me down and I didn't seem to get up.“Wake up, Aurora!” “Jacob!” I yelled as I got up and landed on a brick wall. I looked above to see Jacob. It wasn't a brick wall, it was his chest.“It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you,” he said as soon as I raced towards the edge of the bed.“What happened?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.“You went out with Daniel for dinner and he attacked you,” he said with a bit of anger in his voice.“You think it's my fault?” I asked him.“I never said that and do, I don't think it was your fault,” he said and I nodded.I got out of the bed and headed straight for the bathroom. I took a glance at the wall clock in the room and headed in.It's just past midnight. Daniel must have spiked my drink bef
AURORA I looked at Jacob shocked along with his head of security. I gave them a pretty long stare trying to figure out how I was placed in this equation. “This is Michael,” Jacob said, pointing at his head of security. Then something struck at me. “Daniel said not to bring my own Security,” I said to Jacob. “Was that a part of the plan?” I walked towards the sofa and sat down. “It’s looking that way,” he said to me. I shook my head and sighed. “What does this have to do with me?” I asked him. “The man I assaulted yesterday,” he said trying to avoid eye contact with me when he used the word assaulted. I told him, I’m fine. “What did he say to you?” I asked him. “He said my birth Mom was killed because some people didn’t want her to be CEO,” he said and I scoffed. “Are you sure about this?” I asked him, “Because this might be a trick from Christina,” I said to him and he nodded. “Yeah, I know that,” he walked towards the wardrobe and brought out his leather jacket.
