AURORA“How could you?!” I yelled as I hit Martin hard with my fist. “How could you not tell me!” I continued to punch him and scream.“You need to get her out of here,” I heard someone say but I don't care.“Aurora, you need to stop, you are making a scene,” Martin said. I raised my hands up but he caught it midway.“Is that all you care about?” I asked him, trying to free my hands from him.“Of course not, you are my sister,” he said and I scoffed.“I'm not your sister!” I yelled, jerking my hands from him. “Let me explain,” he said but I walked away from him. I could hear someone behind me but I didn't stop walking.“Stop, Aurora,” I heard Jacob's voice. He took my hands and led me into a room.“What are you doing?” I asked him.“You just found out you have a brother. Aren't you interested in what he has to say?” He asked.“Not really, I already have a family,” I said to him.“Has anyone told you it's a bad idea to have more than one?” He asked.“Don't talk to me like you know me,
AURORAIt felt like the world around me was crumbling. I raced towards the outside of the hospital with everyone running after me.I got to the car we brought Michael to the hospital with. The glass behind was broken but I didn't mind. I needed to be out of here immediately.“I will drive,” Martin said as my hands couldn't get the car running. Carina walked towards the driver seat and took me out to the back seat.“You don't know what happened, he might be okay,” she said to me but her voice came out in an echo.I brought my phone out, trying to figure out if there was any news. It felt from my hands. I bent down to pick it up, bringing my head up I saw Madeline and Martin join their hands together. A drop of tears came down my face.I could hear the sirens of the fire trucks as we got closer to the house.“Oh my goodness!” I heard Carina's voice as we got down the car.“Do you think anyone survived?” I heard someone say as I passed by. My eyes were cloudy and my head was spinning.
JACOBMy eyes landed on Aurora as I opened it up. Her smile took over her face with a hint of relief.I looked around the room to see a lot of other relief faces including my two sisters. I could also hear baby sounds so that means I'm not going crazy.“What happened?” I asked, trying to sit up but Aurora stopped me.“You need to be on the bed,” she voiced out loudly, letting it sink.“Let me listen,” I heard Sophie as she sat on the other side of the bed with her and placed her stethoscope on my chest.“He is doing fine for some who just survived an explosion,” she said. But her voice came out in anger.“I'm sorry, Sophie,” I held her hands as she tried to get up. “I wanted to tell you so many times but things were moving very fast.”“I had the right to know immediately,” she said and I nodded.“Yes, you did. I'm sorry for not telling you,” she bent over and kissed my forehead.“I'm just glad you are okay,” she said breathing heavily. “We were all worried.”I looked at Aurora who was
AURORA“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Carina asked me as we got into the car.“I can't think of anything else, Carina. This is one shot, one opportunity kind of thing,” I said to her and she sighed.“A lot of things could go wrong. There is still no news on your sister, Aubrey,” she said and I cast a look at her.“Martin will find her,” I said. “He has too. Or all of these would have been for nothing.”The car started driving and I noticed something, “who are you?” I asked the person in the passenger seat. That is usually where Martin sits.“I'm Clay, ma'am,” he said. “I will be replacing Mr. Martin till we get someone permanent for his position,” he said and I got uncomfortable.I know I told Martin to look for Aubrey which includes resigning as my head of security but I would have loved to meet this Clay first before now.“Wait, like Clay Benson, CFO of A2M Security?” Carina asked and he nodded.“Yes ma'am,” he said and I rolled my eyes. “Do the bosses in your company have a h
JACOB“She looks so beautiful,” I said out loud as I watched Aurora doing her press conference.“Hmm,” Braden cleared his throat. I had forgotten he is right here in the office with me.I looked at him using my side eye and he laughed, “what? You are falling in love all over again?” He asked.I leaned backwards on my chair and sighed. “Let's call me a new man,” I said and he laughed even more.“I'm happy for you, man, really. I'm glad you are back to your senses,” he said and I glared at him.“That's not funny, Braden,” I said with a straight face.“You are right it isn't but I'm still glad,” we continued to watch Aurora and every second my heart was skipping. She was putting herself in danger by taking this contract and also annoying it on TV.“I should have tried harder for her to let go of this idea,” I said, looking at Braden.“From what I know Aurora to me, no matter how hard you tried she was still going to do it her way.”“I know but that doesn't mean that I like it. She is put
AURORAI heard the door open but I didn't hear it close. What could possibly be taking Jacob this long or who.“What are you doing here?” I heard him ask as I walked towards the entrance door. Looking at his back I could tell he was pissed. His whole body looks tense and stiff.“Aurora invited me,” I heard Daniel's smug voice. I rolled my eyes and got closer to them.“That's impossible,” I took Jacob's hands and joined mine and faced Daniel.“You are a bit late,” I said to Daniel, ignoring the look Jacob was giving to me.“I had to make sure I wasn't being followed,” he said. I looked at him with a straight face, still holding Jacob's hands in a way he could see.“And were you?” I asked him.“No,” he sighed and placed his hands in his pocket, “I wouldn't risk that,” Jacob snorted and cursed under his breath.“Well, come on in,” I said. He was about to enter when Jacob stopped him.“We need to search you for a listening device,” he said and I sighed.“Is that really necessary?” Daniel
AURORA“The results of the test will be forwarded to you within the hour,” Doctor Ruth said to me. “Thank you, Doctor. I look forward to receiving it,” I said as myself and Martin walked out of the room. Doctor Ruth is one of the doctors in my new hospital and she is also Mary's personal Doctor, which means I can trust her a little for her to give me the exact results of the DNA test.“Satisfied?” Martin asked me as he rolled down his sleeve. Madeline walked towards us and smacked him.“She has every right to ask for this,” she said to him and he pouted humbly.“Wow,” I said, smiling at both of them. “I know just the person to call if you ever try to bully me,” I said and we all laughed.“Jacob didn't come with you?” She asked.I shook my head, “he had something to take care of,” I said to her.“I thought he will be all over you every time, this time around,” she said and I felt flattered.“I would love that but not really,” I shook my shoulders as we walked out of the hospital.“Yo
AURORAI looked at Katherine as she tries hard for me not to see her cry but it looks like her Mom’s death is the only soft spot she has.“When did she pass away?” I asked, trying to sound sympathetic.“You don’t have to sound sympathetic. I don’t need your pity,” she said and I scoffed.“Of course you don’t, but I wasn’t sympathetic towards you but your Mom,” I stated flatly. “You didn’t answer my question, when did your Mom pass away?”She looked up and stared at me for a while, “a year before you came into Jacob’s life,” her voice sounded so arrogant. “How is he by the way?” she asked, trying to taunt me. “oh that’s right even after putting me away, you two still couldn’t get together,” I smiled at her words and flipped my hair backwards.“Were you ever asked to take over your Mom’s position?” I asked, looking straight in her eyes in order to know if she would tell the truth.“Yes, they did and I started to feel the effect like my Mom did and I wanted out,” she uttered plainly. “T
