AURORAI kissed Jacob one more time before going through the gate.“Aren't you going to drive away?” I asked him.“I won't till you are safely inside,” I smiled and took off my shoes“Do you need any help, ma'am?” My security guard asked me as I staggered.“No, I'm just a bit tired,” I said, laughing. I don't even know why I'm laughing.After we took a tour of his upcoming airfield, Jacob and I drove over to a place in New York that no one would be able to find us. We booked a hotel, ordered in and had another best part of our lives. I'm still getting used to this other side of Jacob. It's new and it definitely feels like him. My only problem is I don't regret it later because a lot of things can happen before anyone knows it. I got to the entrance door and watched him drive off. He told me he loved me again last night and I didn't say anything in return. I want to, my body wants to but my mind keeps pulling me back.I opened the door quietly, trying not to make any sound. When I
AURORAFortunately our fall wasn't very deep and we could see Andre from where we both were.“Are you both okay?” He asked, Carina stood up and answered him.“I think we are. What happened?” She asked him.“The workers were supplied the wrong cement, it was more sand than the actual material,” he answered.“Okay, that will be from those in charge of the purchase of the material we need. You will need to talk to them,” she said to him while I just sat down.“I'm leaving you both in there,” he said, sounding worried.“We will be fine, just get the security guys here and whoever that will be taking us out of here,” she said to him.“Carina…” he called her name softly.“We will be fine, Andre. Get Madeline to help. If I'm thinking what Aurora is thinking, the same cement might be used in all our constructions,” she said to him and I looked at her.As soon as Andre left she turned to me. “Well, are you just going to sit there? Or are you going to join me to figure out how we will get out o
JACOBI hugged her tightly not wanting to let go. She forgives me, she finally forgives me. There is this huge burden that seems to be lifted off my chest.It's like Braden said once we forgive each other. Everything will return to normal.“Thank you, Aurora,” I said and she nodded, still on my shoulder.“You don't have to have a shower here, do you?” She asked and I smirked.“Come on,” I took her hands and led her to the inner segment of my office for my personal use.“This is amazing, Jacob,” she said and I smiled.“The shower is just over there,” I said and she turned.“Aren't you coming in with me?” She asked. “I have some work to do,” I tried acting tough as she took her clothes off.“Wow, didn't peg you as a guy not to take all this,” she said and walked into the shower.“Yeah,you are right,” I said, taking off my shoes and clothes.We both hit the shower, she already set the water to be a warm steam.“You are beautiful,” I said, taking in every inch of her with my eyes.“I kno
AURORAI allowed the breeze to flow through me as Jacob drove us to my estate. I couldn't help but think about last night. The way he made me feel and worshiped my body as well.“What?” I said, laughing after I caught him looking at me.“You are just so beautiful,” he took my hand and kissed it.“Your eyes better be on the road, handsome,” I complimented him back.We drove into the estate and I waved to the security guard. Carina is going to kill me for not texting her.We entered the house and it was a bit crowded, “what's going on?” I asked, looking at the sour face of everyone.“It's Steven,” Madeline said but Carina stopped her.“Why are you doing that? What happened to Steven?” I asked her.“You have to promise me not to lose it or do something rash,” she said, standing in front of me.“Out with it, Carina,” I snapped, getting impatient.“Steven is gone,” she said and I raised an eyebrow. I could feel Jacob's hands on my shoulder but I took it off.“What do you mean he is gone?”
AURORA“How far are you willing to go, Aurora?” Carina asked me as I sat on my chair in the office.“As far as it takes, Carina. Steven is dead, remember?” I said to her and she sighed.“You can't keep using him as an excuse to keep doing this,” she said and I looked at her confused.“What exactly am I doing, Carina. If not working?” I asked her.“You are hurting yourself, you are putting this revenge ahead of your personal health,” she said and I sighed.“A man is dead!” I said, firmly, “a man who was going to propose to his girlfriend, start a family with their two daughters. What should I say to them?” I asked her.“What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to carry any of these alone. We, your family, are here for you.”“It's my responsibility, Carina. Steven worked in this company because he was trying to pay his debt to me. I will do more than just avenge his death,” I spoke without blinking.There was a knock on my door and Martin walked in. “Thank goodness you are alright,” I
AURORA“He is not picking up,” Clay said to me and my heart fell.“Try him again!” I yelled, trying to make sense of what's happening.“He is still not picking up,” Clay said again and I groaned.I walked towards Charles and held his collar, “if anything happens to my brother. I swear to God, you and your friends will pay,” I said and walked away from him.“We need to ask him the right questions,” Clay whispered to me.I looked at him and nodded, “yeah, you are right.”I walked towards the chair and sat down in front of Charles, “what are they going to do with him?” I asked him.“They are going to find out what he knows and dispose of him,” he said and I groaned.“Martin is a United States Army, he won't break,” Clay said.“It won't be an amateur asking the question,” Charles said to Clay.“What does that mean?” I asked.“He will be tortured,” he said. I looked at Charles, batting my lashes to keep my tears flowing down my cheeks.“What else do you know, Charles?” I asked him.“I have
AURORA“What is it?” Jacob asked me. I guess I didn't cover up the fear I had after seeing Venessa's message.“It's nothing,” I said, walking towards the door. “Aurora,” Jacob called out, following closely behind me.“I have to go, Jacob,” I said as I walked Carina.“What's going on?” Carina asked me.“I have to go,” I said, handing her my gadgets.“Where exactly are you going?” She asked again.“My question exactly and she isn't saying anything,” Jacob said and I turned to look at him.“I'm right here,” I said to him.“No, not really,” he said, clicking his tongue. “You got a message and all of a sudden you are acting weird.”I took his hands and led him to an empty room in the hospital.“No, no, no. You are not kissing your way out of this one,” he said and I smiled.“That's your thing, not mine,” I said and he smirked.“What's going on, babe,” he placed his hands on my waist.“Babe, that sounded hot,” I flipped my hair backwards in a dramatic gesture.“Don't deflect, tell me what'
AURORAI looked at the three people standing in front of me. Wondering if what I heard was actually the real thing.“You are kidding right?” I asked, trying to get a hint of the truth from either one of them.“No, I'm not,” Spencer said with his hands in his pocket. “You are about to be my wife,” he said and paused, “Sis?”“You are insane,” I said, looking at him. He walked up to me, I stared at him with the same intensity.“Haa,” I felt his palms on my cheeks.“How dare you speak to me that way,” he said, bitterly. “I have endured you for the past two years and I'm not going to again,” he raised his hands again and stopped when he saw me laughing.“What aren't you going to hit me again?” I asked him, laughing as he put his hands down.“I have always known you were pathetic. Just not pathetic to hit a woman,” I said, looking at him with a straight face.I turned to look at Vanessa and Philip, “do you want to explain to me why I'm going to marry my adoptive brother?” I asked them.“Oh,
