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,
AURORA I sighed, and looked at the video of my twin sister, sitting on a dirty bed in a place that looks like an abandoned wine cellar. “So this is the way to get your health huh?” I asked, taking my eyes off the tablet, looking at Phillip. “My sister doesn't have anything to do with this,” I said and Philip laughed. “Of course she does,” Spencer said. “Your mother already had her will drawn out and she handed it over to her executor. Her empire was divided into two, Clinton Empire which she named after your father and billion dollar Beauty House,” Philip said and my eyes widened. My Mom owns Beauty House, it is one of the biggest fashion houses in the world. They deal with everything including, trending fashion clothing, makeup and skincare. “So what, you want all of that for yourself l?” I asked him. “That's not possible.” “You sound like you have a choice,” Spencer said and took my arms. “Stop it, Spencer,” Venessa said before he could twist my arm. “She is going to give u
JACOBI walked into Martin's private security company and headed straight for his office with Michael and Liam closely behind me. I had Ryan be the head of Amy's protection details along with other guys in my security team.Martin and Clay stood up from their seats the minute they saw me. “Who let you in here?” Martin asked.“I let myself in. We are going to have to work together if we are to bring Aurora home,” I said and he scoffed.“She was home at least with us, until you allowed her to work out of the hospital alone,” he said firmly.“She said she needed to do this alone. I couldn't stop her. Even if I wanted to,” I sighed. An adjacent door in his office opened and Carina walked out of it.“You didn't want to because you are scared that she will flare up and you will lose her,” Carina said to me.“That's not true, Carina. Aurora and I forgave each other. I didn't need to be scared of losing her. I just needed to trust her.”“Well, you trusted her too much,” Madeline cried out.
AURORA“So what’s the plan?” I asked Jacob and Martin. I looked at both of them. They seem lost, unsure of what to do or how to do it.I rolled my eyes and waved my hands, “well the sweet talk worked. Now I will have to figure out the rest myself,"I was about to open the door of my office, Martin stood behind me and closed it loudly.“Shit,” he cursed. “They definitely heard that,” he said.“You think, Martin?” I rolled my eyes at him. Took a deep breath and waited for the guards to knock on the door.“One, two…” the knock came, Martin and Jacob hid in my private office.“Everything alright ma’am?” one of them asked and I rolled my eyes.“I have every right to destroy my own property, including my door,” I rolled my eyes as they all looked at me like I had on my face. Except the one asking the question. “You can leave now, I need my privacy,” I said to them. The one who looked like the boss and was also asking questions, walked towards me and looked around.“Search everywhere,” he co
AURORAWe ran towards each other, jumping in each other’s arms in a tight hug. We didn’t care about the people around us. We cried out because of all the years we have missed with each other. All the pains we have received since our parents died-our real parents. The memories we were supposed to have were taken from us all because some men didn’t like the fact our mother was at the top of her game. “Oh my goodness, you are so beautiful,” Aubrey gushed over me, trying hard to smile.“So are you,” I said, holding her face, “you are stunning,” her eyes turned sour when she looked straight into the living room.“You can’t trust her, Aurora,” Aubrey said, standing in front of me and shielding me with her body. “ I thought I could trust her too, because I knew she was Mom’s sister but it turns out that, Aunt Venessa here, will do anything this crappy man called Philp tells her to do,” she said, sounding so angry.“You need to calm down, Aubrey,” Venessa said to her.“No!” Aubrey yelled. “
