AURORA“Hey, be careful with that,” I said to the maintenance operator trying to fix up Fiona's office with my Mom's picture.“She's gorgeous,” Carina said.“Well, I had to take my looks from somewhere,” I said, giving a little dance.The maintenance operator smirked as he carefully adjusted the frame on the wall. I watched, feeling an odd mixture of pride and nostalgia. My mother’s photograph seemed to cast a gentle warmth across Fiona’s typically sterile office.Carina leaned in, examining the picture more closely. “I can’t believe I never knew your mom was this stunning. You always mention her, but this—”I nodded, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips. “Yeah, Martin said she had this way of making everyone feel seen. Even in a crowd, it was like she was looking right at you, understanding everything you were thinking.”“Must be where you get your intuition from,” Carina said, winking.Before I could respond, Amy walked in, her usual brisk energy trailing behind her. She stopped mid

AURORA“No way,” I dropped the photo, shocked and confused.“I double checked Aurora,” Martin said to me. “I have medical records to prove it,” I heard some raffling behind me and I turned.“How did you get those?” I asked him. He tilted his head. Right, knowing the answer to that is probably a bad idea.“How can this be possible?” I asked. “What, he just woke up one morning and decided not to be a woman?” Martin sighed, running a hand through his hair as if trying to untangle the mess of thoughts in his head. His eyes met mine, filled with something between sympathy and disbelief.“Look, it’s not like he just decided one day. From what I’ve pieced together, it was years in the making, a struggle buried beneath layers of secrecy and shame.” He paused, holding up one of the papers. “The records show treatments, therapy sessions… it was deliberate, Aurora.”I picked up the photo again, my fingers trembling slightly. The face staring back at me was both familiar and alien, a ghost of th

JACOB“Hey, you got this,” I said to Aurora on the phone as I sat on my bed.“I know it's getting too overwhelming but you got this. We got this, we are going to protect Anna, no matter what,” I said as I tried to calm her down.“I'm coming over,” I said, looking outside. If dawn already. “But Aurora….”Suddenly there was a large crash noise in the living room.“Okay, I will swing by later,” I hung up and took my side gun out of my bed drawer.“I have a gun and I'm ready to use it,” I said out loud as I got down the stairs.“Killing your brother is also a felony,” I heard a voice I thought I won't hear for a while.“Half brother,” I said as I set my gun, making it loud enough for him to flinch. “What are you doing here, Grey?” I asked him.“Can I say hello to my little brother?” He asked, acting a bit tipsy.“It's the middle of the night, Grey and looks like you are drunk,” I said to him as he stood beside my mini bar.“It's 6am, Jacob and no, I'm not drunk,” he said, sounding all ser

AURORA“Clinton Empire Bribes Officials Of Children Social Services,” I read the headlines as I walked out of my bedroom into the living room.The news was displayed on the Television as Aubrey's eyes were glued to it. I sighed and walked over to the TV and shut it off.“Hey, I was watching that,” she said, getting on her feet.“At least you stood up, you haven't left that position since yesterday,” I said, pointing at the side of the couch which looks lower than the other side.“Well I wanted to know what they are really saying. This is LeVert's latest attack and we didn't see it coming,” she said as she poured herself some coffee.“You have to stop beating yourself up, you didn't do this and soon everyone will know the truth,” I said to her.“It's not just knowing the truth anymore, Aurora,” Aubrey said. “The words those media outlets are using is Clinton Empire, they aren't saying Aubrey Clinton but Clinton Empire, Mom's company!” She yelled firmly and I swallowed hard.“I know, Au

AURORA“A serial killer?” I scoffed. This can't be happening. LeVert is a serial killer.“I knew there was more to him,” Madeline said over the phone.“Well what's his motive, why is he killing these women?” Aubrey asked.“They're not sure yet but they are sure about who he is,” Martin said to her.“I can't believe this, Anna is in more danger than we realize,” I said out loud.“I have taken care of that. I already added more security to both her and Mary's team. They will be safe.”“And?” I asked. “Will that be their life from now on. Always with security checking everything about them?” I asked him.“No, but it's one step forward in keeping them safe,” Aubrey said, holding my shoulders.“I'm so guys I have to go. I'm having a minute with another investor,” Madeline said and I sniffed.“Tell me how it goes okay.”“You got it,” she said and hung up.Martin rubbed his temple, I could see he was putting up a good fight to be strong for all of us.He has been following up every leads and

AURORA“Martin!’ myself and Aubrey yelled at the same time. We rushed towards him but Copper stopped us.“Stay back!” He pointed the gun at us.“We have to help him, he is bleeding!’ Aubrey cried out. I stare at Copper with all the anger in me.“It's not my blood, Aubrey,’’ Martin said, standing up. She took a deep breath and looked at me.“Whose blood is it?” I asked and I noticed the security officer gasping for air.“You shot an Officer, Copper you are going to prison,” I said to him with spite.“No, I'm not, because no one is going to call the cops,” he said and I scoffed.“That's going to be a problem because I already did,” Jacob came out from nowhere staring hard at Copper.“Jacob,” I whispered as my eyes laid on him.“It's okay, I'm okay,” he said and I nodded. “The Cops will be here any second, you need to leave,” he said to Copper.“I'm not leaving until I have what I came for,” he said and I looked at Jacob confused.“What is he talking about?” I asked. Copper was about to

AURORA“We need to stop the delivery to all our distribution centers immediately,” I said to Amy as I walked into the Beauty Company.“I already did that, most of the trunks are already enroute back to the building,” she said and I stopped walking.“Most?” I asked her. “Most is not going to cut it, Amy.”Amy hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting away from mine. "There was an issue with the Denver distribution center," she admitted, her voice uneasy. "One of the trucks had already offloaded before we could reach them."I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to suppress the frustration bubbling up inside me. "Do they know what was in the shipment?" I asked, my tone sharper than I intended.Amy nodded reluctantly. "Not yet, but it's only a matter of time. If they scan the manifest—""Then we don't have time," I interrupted, already pulling my phone from my pocket. "Get me the manager at the Denver center, now. We need to lock this down before word spreads."Amy nodded quickly and sta

AURORA“Damnit,” I slammed my office door hard as I walked in. I looked around to see Carina and Amy staring at me with confusion written all over their faces.“Wow, Carina. Nice of you to join us,” I said as I walked towards my table.“I'm sorry, I know things have been hectic around here but so are wedding plans,” she said and I sighed.“How is your Mom doing being in New York?” I asked her.“She's okay apart from her nagging about the weather,” she said, rolling her eyes.“Of course she is,” I said as I sat down.“What about Andre's parents?” Amy asked her. “They are terrific, Andre's Mom has been the only one making my Mom feel comfortable. I couldn't do that,” she was beaming with a lot of smile.I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms as I studied Carina. Despite the chaos swirling around, she somehow managed to exude a radiant glow.“Well, that’s a relief. At least someone’s taking charge of the situation,” I said with a wry smile.Carina chuckled. “Oh, trust me, it’s a ba

AURORAI have been in a moving vehicle for the better part of ten hours. Wherever my captors are taking me, they don't seem to have an idea what they are doing.This can't be LeVert, he won't make such a mistake by hiring amateurs, even if he is doing it by himself. He has enough experience to do it right.Suddenly the vehicle stopped moving, the back of the vehicle opened and I was brought out. One of them was about to speak when the other one shut him up without speaking.I kept my mouth shut, I need to be brave, for myself and for my family. My wedding is in a few hours along with Carina's and there is no way I'm missing it.They tied the blindfold around my eyes even tighter, causing the darkness to engulf me.The rough fabric of the blindfold pressed harder against my eyes, sending a jolt of sharp pain across my temples. Darkness was absolute now, not just the absence of sight but the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me. I tried to focus on my breathing, forcing myself to s

JACOB“I can't believe you are getting married!” Braden slammed into me. Trying to ruffle me up a little.“Says the married man,” Andre said to him. It's funny how we are all friends now and we have Aurora to thank for that. She brought all of us together. That's my future wife.“What are you smiling about?” Grey asked me.“You better not be thinking about my sister in some certain way in front of me,” Martin said and we all laughed.I have asked all of them to be mine and Andre best men including Michael, Ryan and Clay. Liam insisted on being the DJ for the service. Right now we are having our bachelor party and having loads of fun. “Thank you for allowing Aurora to do this with Carina,” I said to Andre holding his shoulder.“Are you kidding, Carina will have my head if I don't agree, plus we get to give the world the wedding of the year,” he said and I smiled.“Good man,” I shook his hands and walked towards Grey. “Hey bro,” he turned around and placed his phone in his pocket.“Th

AURORAONE YEAR LATER“What about this?” I walked out of my closet in a black gown filled with diamonds and a white off shoulder handle.“Perfect,” Carina squeaked. I rolled my eyes and walked deeper into the room.“People see me on this, they might think tonight is my rehearsal dinner,” I said to the soon to be bride.“Oh come on, you are the chief bridesmaid, you are meant to dress as elegant as the bride,” Aubrey said, adding her own wisdom to the situation.“Well, apart from that, I will think you guys are just playing dress up with me for me to impress Jacob,” I said to them and they both laughed.“Why are you laughing?” I asked them.“Nothing, just remembering how you blunted out I love you to him,” Carina said, still laughing. I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my blushing face.“Aubrey smirked, “Oh Aurora, you were so abstract about it. It feels like you have been bottling that emotion.”“Maybe I was. I guess my body moved before my mind,” I said to her.“And your timing couldn'

AURORA“Okay, alright. Be safe,” I said and hanged up the call.“Is everything alright?” Carina asked me. I looked at her with my puffy eyes. I can't believe I asked her to move her wedding date all because of LeVert. I feel so sad and heartbroken.“No, don't do that,” she said, hugging me. “Everything will work out. We just need to protect Anna and Mary and we all will be safe.”“But your wedding…”“Can wait,” Andre said, standing beside her. “We all need to be together right now.” He took my hands and I nodded.“Okay,” I exhaled, wiping my face with my other hand. “Let's do this then.”“The girls are pulling up,” Aubrey said to me. We raced towards the car to stop the paparazzi from taking pictures of them.“How come there are so many paparazzi?” Madeline asked as we moved through the crowd.“LeVert probably called them here to witness whatever he had planned,” I said to her.We finally got to the car and help Linda protect the girls from the cameras.“Aunt Aurora,” Anna and Mary hu

JACOB“What does Christina has to do with any of these?” I asked her.“I'm sure you heard from your stepbrother, Grey?” She asked.“Lara, what are you doing?” Aurora asked her. “Grey is not to be trusted.”“I was the one who told Grey to meet with you,” she said looking at me. “He is trying to make amends. You should let him.” I looked at Aurora, who just shrugged her shoulders.“So what about Christina?” Amy asked, standing in front of her. “You can't just drop a bombshell like that and not say anything to it.”“I was getting to it,” she handed her USB drive to Liam, “here, input it to the system,” Liam looks at me hesitant to do it. “Do it Liam,” I nodded.”A lot of files displayed on the bug screen. “These are all of the operations I could find that can be linked to LeVert, including serial killing of high profile women.” “Which one involves my step mom?” I asked, and a more detailed document displayed on the screen.“Wait,” Aurora scoffed. “You have this much evidence and LeVert

JACOBI kept pacing around, it's been almost two hours since Aurora left and she isn't back yet.“Martin is with her,” Madeline said to me, “he won't let anything happen to her.”“But if he can't,” I said and she looked confused. “Whatever is going on is beyond his power,” she sighed and shook her head.“Hey, you have to think good thoughts bro,” Amy said, holding my shoulder. “Aurora didn't come this far to give up or jeopardize everything.”“She is right, J,” Braden whispered, standing beside me. “You have to be able to trust Aurora, trust that she knows what she is doing,” he said and scoffed, “because she has been doing this long before she returned back to her life.”“I just want to protect her, want to keep her safe,” I said to him.“I know bro, but she got this and you know it.”I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down, even though every fiber of my being screamed to go after her. Braden was right, though. Aurora had proven time and again that she could handle herself.

AURORA“Thought I would recognize you?” I asked her.“Hoped,” she said, jerking her hands from Martin who was still looking shocked.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked her with gritted teeth.“I don't know, hiding from my brother,” she said and I scoffed.“You are not that bumped into me,” I said to her. “You were at the precinct.”“No, you only saw me at the precinct when I came out, not before,” she said and I looked at Martin.“I will prove it to you,” she said and I turned to her.“How?” I asked, folding my hands. She tried to move but Martin stopped her. “Let her go, Martin. She knows she needs us,” Captain Marlow scoffed and walked deeper into the room.“Here,” she placed a material over her head and I could see the face of the woman we saw in the CCTV camera video.“Unbelievable,” I whispered. “Have you seen something like this before?” I asked Martin.“Heard of it but haven't seen one this real,” he said as Captain Marlow took it off.“Spent almost all the money I co

AURORA“You know he is just scared for you,” Martin turned around in the car and said to me.“If you are referring to Jacob then don't. I don't need a lecture right now,” I said and he sighed.“He just wants to protect,” I glared at him and he raised his hands in defense. “That's all I'm going to say,” he turned around facing the traffic.“I have been on my own for a while, I can handle myself,” I said out loud.“I thought you guys have moved past that?” Martin asked me.“Move past what?” I asked, feeling confused.“Move past what he did almost ten years ago?” He asked and I sighed.“We have but he has to know that I didn't have him or you protecting me then and I was still able to survive Copper and being kidnapped,” I said to him.“I get that but he is here now and from the look of things he wants to protect you at all cost.”“Why do you think I brought Michael with us?” I asked and Micheal smiled. “At least Michael can report to him if anything happens.”“We are here, Miss Aurora,”

AURORA“Hey,” I kissed Jacob on the lips as I took off my jacket.“I miss you,” he said, kissing my neck. I bit my lips smiling.“I know but we have work to do,” I pushed him slightly and walked over to the workstation he had set up in his penthouse.“Are you sure this place is secure?” Martin asked him as he walked in.“Yes, nobody knows about this place, not even Christina,” he said and I sighed.“Does Grey know about this place?” I asked him, for a while he has been having a blind spot when it comes to his step brother.“Jacob?” I called his name when I noticed he was hesitant to answer the question.“Yes he does,” he said and I dropped my hands loudly against my laps.“Why would you do such a thing? Grey is not to be trusted,” I said to him.“Look, Grey might have done a lot of things in the past but he helped us back in my airport.”“Or he brought you there to set you up along with Martin,” Braden said.“I agree with Braden,” Amy said and Jacob glared at her.“Don't do that, they
