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

AURORA“You knew all these and didn't think to tell me?” Madeline asked and I sighed.“You are still recovering, Martin didn't want you worried even more,” I said to her.“That's my call, not his!” She yelled, pointing at herself.I raised my hands in surrender, stepping back slightly to give her space. "I know, Madeline, but it wasn’t my decision. He thought he was protecting you."“Protecting me? By keeping me in the dark?” She shook her head, pacing across the room. “Do you have any idea how frustrating that is?”“I do,” I admitted, my voice low. “And I tried to convince him to tell you, but he thought it was better this way. For now.”She stopped abruptly, turning to face me. Her eyes blazed with a mixture of anger and hurt. “What gives him the right to decide what’s better for me? I’m not some fragile doll. I can handle the truth, Aurora.”I hesitated, unsure of what to say. She wasn’t wrong, but Martin’s reasoning had seemed sound at the time. Now, standing here, seeing her like

AURORA“Stop!” I yelled as I ran towards Martin and Caleb. I tried my best to be calm because I know one wrong look from me will sent Caleb into an overdrive.“Aurora, what are you doing?” Martin asked me. “We have spoken about this. This is the only way forward,’’ he said with gritted teeth.“No, it's not,” I swallowed hard and looked at Caleb. “What if the forensic was doctored?” I asked him, trying to read his expression.“There is no way tye forensic was doctored,” he said firmly. “How can that be?” He asked, nervously.“Clay, where is it?” I strenched my hands forward and he handed the document to me.“My brother's gun didn't hit the security officer, Copper gun did. This will tell you,” I said handing him the document.“I'm sorry, Miss Aurora but we have the finest forensic analyst in the whole law enforcement department. Believe the forensic evidence wasn't doctored,” he said. I was about to speak when a middle aged looking woman stood in front of us.“Why isn't the prisoner on

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

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“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

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.
