AURORA“Thanks for being here,” I said to Aubrey. “I know you have a lot to do with the opening of your art showcase.”“I can't let you walk in here alone,” she said to me. “Postponing was a good idea, it gave me more time to deal with what I couldn't do before,” she said to me.We got out of the car and I stared at the company's logo. “Safe and Clean Chemical.” “Having cold feet?” I heard Martin's voice, he insisted on driving us here.“Not really but I'm having goosebumps about seeing LeVert again,” I said to him.“That guy is a creep and shouldn't be on the planet,” Aubrey said with spite.“Okay, Aubrey,” I laughed a little as we walked into the building.“I won't let him come close to you. That's what I'm here for,” he adjusted his tuxedo, standing in front of us.“Miss Clinton?” A lady walked towards us.“Yes,” myself and Aubrey said at the same time. We both smiled and she made me take the lead.“We are both Miss Clinton and we are here for the board of directors meeting,” I sa
AURORA“Is it just me or do you just remain effortlessly beautiful all the time?” Maria asked as I walked into my dressing room. Looks like she is done with Carina and Sophie's makeup.“I just had my dress on,” I said, shyly.“Well, my brother is going to be dumbstruck when he see you,” Sophie said and I blushed harder.“Well, I will say you love beautiful as always,” Carina said, trying not to be left out.“We should have lunch sometime,” I said, walking towards her.“Yeah, I feel like we haven't connected like we used to,” she said to me.“We are both growing, though we did promise not to get married,” I said, laughing.“Well, it's not too late,” she joined me and I glared at her.“Don't you dare break Andre's heart,” I said to her.“Me?, Or he shouldn't break mine,” she pouted.“When you two lovebirds are ready, I will like to begin Aurora's makeup,” Maria said to us.“Lovebirds?” Carina asked as I walked towards Maria.“Yeah, before Andre and Jacob both of you were in love with ea
AURORAThe lights came on. I looked towards Aubrey, she was on the floor holding Clay's hands. He was pinned down by a wooden plank and couldn't move.“Someone call 911!” Aubrey yelled as I raced towards her.“Oh my gosh, Aubrey, are you hurt?” I asked, taking a look at her.“No, Clay. He isn't moving!” She screamed with tears pouring down her face.“He is going to be alright,” I tried calming her down but she wouldn't let me.“Take this off him, he can't breathe,” she screamed.“No!” Sophie stopped the bodyguards trying to get the wooden plank off Clay.“We have to figure out if there is any bleeding or tearing,” she said and I nodded.“Come on, let's go,” I tried pulling Aubrey up but she didn't move. “Come on, Aubrey. Sophie knows what she is doing,” I said to her.“No, I'm not leaving him alone,” she cried out.“Hey, hey, she is not alone. I'm with him,” Martin said to her. “I won't leave him alone.”She finally got up, Carina and Madeline helped me get her away from the crash. S
AURORA“I don't buy it,” Aubrey said. “This could all just be a mere coincidence. Clay is still hurt,” she said with sadness in her eyes.“We are not disputing Clay's pain or yours,” I said to her. “But if this is even a hint that someone in LeVert 's circle is sabotaging him then we need to figure it out,” I said to her.“Well, you all can do that. I will be with Clay and when this plan doesn't work you come find me,” she said and walks away.“I will go with her,” Madeline said walking behind Aubrey.“I hate to say it but she's right,” Jacob said and I nodded.“Yeah and it sucks,” I agreed with him.“So what do you want to do?” Martin asked me. “I'm with you all the way.”“So is Aubrey,” Carina said. “She's just hurting. She will come to respect both your decisions.”“I know that, Carina but we can't wait long,” I took a deep breath. “Get the footage to Special Agent Bell, let her figure out a way to know who is the second person,” I said to Martin and he nodded.“That's a good start
JACOBI broke the kiss and stared right into her eyes. She looked at me with a smile and took her face away.“Don't,” I brought her face back to look at me. “You shouldn't have done that,” she said, stamping her feet on the ground.“Done what? Kiss you?” I asked, pretending not to know what she's talking about.“In front of the whole world, literally,” she nodded towards the cameras that were all over us.“Let's get out of here then,” I said to her.“Not until I have had a talk with LeVert,” she said and I sighed deeply.“Come on, Aurora,” I took her towards the passenger seat and made her get into the car.“What about my car?” She asked.“It will be delivered back to your place before the end of the day,” I said as I closed the door.I got into the driver seat and started the car.“LeVert,” she whispered and I looked up. There he was, staring at us with hatred in his eyes.“Let's go,” I took her hand and kissed it, making him see me as well.“He is a monster,” she said and I sighed.
AURORAIt's been three whole weeks since the incident at Linda's place. The cops are still actively in the search for the people who broke in and tried to kidnap Anna.The three of them, Linda, Mary and Anna have been living in my place with myself and Aubrey. Jacob and Martin camp around the house most of the time. Providing security with the rest of the team.“I mean why Anna?” Carina asked. Even Carina checks on us sometimes.“Turn her against us?” Madeline asked and I rolled my eyes.“I don't know how they are planning to do that, Anna loves Aurora and even more despite what happened to her Dad,” Carina said.“I don't know,” Aubrey muttered. “If a certain word or way of life is drilled into a child at such a young age, it becomes a part of them.”“Okay, guys. Stop all the negative thoughts,” I said to them.“It's just not negative thoughts, Aurora. It's a fact,” Linda said, coming out of the hallway. “The men who broke into the house didn't come for Mary or me. They came after Ann
AURORAI opened up my eyes and handed Anna to Linda. I looked at the two men who were trying to stand in the way of me and my goddaughter.“Can I see your credentials?” I asked and I heard Aubrey scoff.“You can't really be going for this?” She asked me.“Aubrey, they are Officers of the law. We have to respect and do exactly what they want,” I said to her.“For now, that begins with them showing us their credentials,” I said and turned to the officers.“You were going to show us at one point? I asked.“Of course,” the lighter one said, trying to take something off his pocket.“Easy,” one of my security guards moved towards him, standing between us.“It's just my credentials,” he said, bringing it out.“You don't mind if we check it out, do you?” I asked with my hands stretched forward.“Actually, I do. I'm an Officer of the law. This,” he dangled the credentials in the air. “It's a property of the law.““You idiot…you're going to get yourself killed!” the angry one snapped, his face
AURORAThankfully my driver was able to get to the Beauty Company in no time without breaking any laws. We got there to see Any waiting for us with panic on her face.“What's going on Amy?” I asked as I got to her.“You both need to wear this,” she handed us face masks. I watched as people ran out of the building in haste.“What exactly is going on, Amy?” Carina asked but she kept on walking without answering.“Stop!” I yelled and we all did. She turned to look at me with fear in her eyes.“Whatever happened is not on you, Any,” I said and she nodded, fidgeting.“Uhm, the chemicals arrived and production started,” she said and I scoffed.“I thought I made it clear that the chemicals shouldn't be used until it has been vetted,” I said to her.“You did but by the time I got here, Fiona had already approved of the chemicals he used for the production. Something about not missing the announced deadline,” She said and I sighed.“So what happened?” Carina asked. “What did the chemicals do?
